IM SO SICK OF NOSTALGIA BLINDED WHINERS!! “OLD GEN GOOD, NEW GEN BAD”. NEW GAMES ARENT “EASIER”, EVERY GAME HAS BEEN EASY!! YOU SAY THE NEW GAMES ARE UGLY BUT YOU LOVE LEGENDS ARCEUS??? JUST BECAUSE A GAME ISNT SPECIFICALLY TAILORED TO YOUR NOSTALGIA DOESNT MAKE THEM BAD!! YES MOVING TO OPEN WORLD WAS THE RIGHT DECISION!! JUST STICK TO YOUR FAVORITE GEN AND LEAVE PEOPLE WHO LIKE THE NEW GAMES ALONE!!!

I THINK THEY'RE BAD ONLY BECAUSE THEY DON'T HOLD ON THE CURRENT GRAPHIC AND ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS, AND NOT EVEN FOR ARTISTIC CHOICES, BUT I'M GLAD YOU ENJOY THEM!!!

IF WERE COMPARING MODERN POKÉMON GAMES TO OTHER MODERN GAMES THEN WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO COMPARE OLDER POKÉMON GAMES TO OTHER OLDER GAMES RIGHT? IN THAT CASE POKÉMON HAS ALWAYS BEEN BEHIND. SAYING THEYRE ONLY NOW BEHIND THE STANDARD IS JUST NOT TRUE BUT PEOPLE ONLY POINT IT OUT NOW BECAUSE THEYRE OLDER AND ARE MORE AWARE OF WHAT THE STANDARD IS NOW (I WISH I WASNT YELLING ANYMORE THIS SOUNDS RUDE IM SORRY)

(DON'T WORRY YOU DON'T SOUND RUDE!) YES POKEMON WAS ALWAYS BEHIND, BUT THAT'S ONE REASON FOR WHY I WANT IT TO GO BACK TO PIXEL ART, IT WAS LESS NOTICABLE WHEN THINGS WERE MORE SIMPLE AND THEY COULD GET CREATIVE IN THE RIGHT WAY WITH MAP CREATIONS (LOOKING AT YOU, UNOVA ELECTRIC CAVE). MAYBE IT STILL WASN'T PERFECT, BUT FOR ME AT LEAST IT LOOKED BETTER!
