as always here is your reminder that pokemon saying their names is stupid, the anime has it wrong, the games have it right, cute digitized animal noises for life :palmon:

The game is good, yeah. That's part of why I'm so annoyed at the awful performance

Seeing as the issue is memory leak if they identify the source it's patchable.
That's certainly not the only thing making the performance bad. It's frequently bad right after starting up the game.

It's still generally quite a bit easier to find shinies in this game compared to earlier (normal)pokemon games just because you're seeing so many of them without actually needing to battle them.

Because the friends from the tutorial say "Start just east of this city." and "No start just west of this city!" so clearly they both relatively low level/good starting zones and they expect you to have read those things and remembered them.
tbh I think the more significant thing than that is how it's an open world game where you are expected to explore, if you want to power through harder content earlier you can but for most players it wants them to feel things out and leave if it's too difficult

I mean they were asking about how the game gives you any hints about that and they...do. and you can manually get more hints at any poke center with a option that appears in the menu you have to see to heal your pokes.
right, I just mean I think the answer to "why would the next area be in the other direction" from a design perspective is "they want you to explore and not go in a linear path"

Even if there's a case to be made for it here I just sort of fundamentally hate level scaling, yeah.

I would be more open to it if gym leaders did the thing from the anime that one time where they change their team based on the number of badges the challenger has, but the idea of wild pokemon scaling up and down(or even random trainers) to match you makes me unhappy.

That's an extension of the difficulty problem with almost all pokemon games, really. It just matters more when you've got a big area for people to explore.

Sure would be nice to get difficulty settings or other options that affected these sorts of things!

what is “the game everyone wants” even
-difficulty settings
-more effort/time put into visuals and animations
-not taking away things people liked from prior games like better outfit customization

Did none of these people consider using one of the pokemon they beat the game with?
why would they do that instead of the cool very strong legendary pokemon they got more recently

I got a memory of Hau at some point saying he and the PC are both 11... stuck with me because yea the games are usually pretty vague about this.
when I was a kid I assumed that pokemon player characters/rivals/etc were all young adults, and that assumption stuck with me for a long time

Would be strange to replay a game for the postgame tbh
they didn't say replay, they said play after they beat it

which you obviously have less of a reason to do without a good postgame

People keep hyping SV as the best they've ever played if only the bugs were fixed but like... there's still nothing to do even if you fix all the bugs.
I liked battle frontier too man but for most people pokemon is the main story, and postgame doesn't matter.
most games have "nothing to do" after you beat the game, that's only a problem if you want to get a lot of longterm enjoyment out of them

The battle tower is a pale imitation of real postgame stuff like the battle frontier or other regions. Rental Pokemon were crazy neat.
this, and also I want something to do with an actually leveled, decked out team.
not just go through more story content again. gym leader refights always felt very "why this" to me, I don't want more stuff to level through, I want to have something to use my guys that are already totally set up on.

Well that explains the sky high rate of critical captures. Most of them aren't really critical captures.

Failed critical captures aren't really visible anymore. It's the same as getting 0 shakes.
I'm positive this is just to speed things up when capturing pokemon you've already caught before anyways

the other failing is the terrible unlock system for black's hard mode and restricting hard/easy modes to being transferred from black/white.
but at least they tried those in that game before deciding to throw em away and never touch em again

Pokemon, just like real animals, can easily be categorized in one of 3 categories: dog, cat or guy.

Pikachu? That's a dog. Snorlax? That's a cat. Mewtwo, oh that's a guy.
snorlax is a bear and mewtwo is a kitty cat who is also a genetic abomination
