I'm excited for a real Pokémon game after GO and Let's Go.
A friend of mine sent me this:

Btw I updated my poll.
Honestly, I feel like a lot of people are going to be heavily criticizing this game because it's not what they wanted from a pokemon game, but me, this looks amazing! I was blown away at the graphics, because it looks like an actual freaking RPG for once. And that main theme! I feel like the main theme has really captured what this game is probably going to be, a classic pokemon journey with modern touches. I love how they incorporated the hall of fame music into the series theme, it makes me feel ready to experience pokemon again!

What he said.
These pokèmon games actually look pretty good even though I've never played any pokèmon game before. Does smash ultimate count? lol

No, it doesn't. I've played Pearl, Platinum, Black, and Y.

Are they any good?
Took a look at the starters, and I'm already making this bold prediction:
The final evolution stage in Scorbunny (the fire starter)'s line will be a Fire/Fighting-type. Yet again.
The bandages on Scorbunny's nose bridge and feet are already evidence that this guy trains hard. Sports players (e.g. Passimian) have been Fighting-types so far, and I don't think Scorbunny the sports player will break that trend.

Hey, we got a wrestler cat last generation, which is, like, the de facto fighting sport, and it wasn't a Fighting type. I think Game Freak is well aware of the meme status of Fire/Fighting starters and they'll find a way to surprise us. I think the evolution line will take a twist in the concept somewhere and it won't become just a straight-up sports bunny.

TBH I don't know anything about Sun and Moon. I stopped both the TCG and the video games right before Sun and Moon came out. So if the Sun and Moon expansion for Pokemon GO ever comes out I will be very lost. Pun-intended.
Edit: Note that I do understand the whole alohlan thing (its like the delta species from the TCG but it doesn't suck) but beyond that I know nothing.
Change the thread title to say Pokémon, it's bothering me
This is the first time in history I'm not picking Grass.
Pokémon Let's Go almost singlehandedly destroyed my interest in Pokémon—seriously the worst use of my money in a long time, and the first Pokémon game ever that I couldn't force through. This one looks better. Hopefully they'll let me use my pro controller (or at least two Joy-cons outside handheld mode) this time.

YW
If I remember correctly I chose Turtwig in pearl, Piplup in platinum, Snivy in Black, and Fennekin in Y. (And Charmander in Pokemon GO, but I seriously neglected him...) So I guess I've done two of each starter except water. (That's funny since TBH I enjoyed Platinum the most)
Oh yah! The only Pokémon game I've ever owned was Pokémon go. It wasn't actually that bad, but from what I understand it was very different from a traditional Pokémon game.

It's probably the fact that he couldn't find an "é" on his keyboard. You'll live.

if you have a phone or tablet just press down on the e for a few seconds and you should get some options like these ėęěĕə=èéêëē
Well then! Bobby should be ashamed...
You had one simple task, and you failed.
Bad sarcasm plz don't hurt me
Joking aside, I agree with Slow about the Let's Go! controls. The whole game was great new experience for me compared to the time I played Blue Version, but I was annoyed at how I couldn't use my Pro Controller.

I'm woefully mourning!
I wasn't using my phone just FYI when I saw the message on my computer I just copied and pasted the é from slow's post (I'm on my phone now.)

I use my phone for about 90% of the times I come on Ninsheetmusic, but right now I'm using one of my laptops.
Even I'm ashamed! Why Bobby! Why!
I've never played pokemon go because I knew it wasn't my type of pokemon game.

What the heck is that supposed to mean?
I'd assume it means it's the first game he couldn't stomach his distaste for and finish anyway. I've seen such split opinions on Let's Go that I honestly have no idea what's actually good and what's actually bad about it.
That's basically it. I played to the fourth gym and didn't have any desire to keep going, which has just never happened with a Pokémon game before.
Ah okay, that makes sense. Also, people's opinions are very varied. My brother, who claims he's only played red/blue/yellow (though I'm pretty sure he's played gold/silver), said that he liked Let's Go way better than the main gameplay of pokemon. The main reason is because he liked being able to avoid wild encounters and see what pokemon he might encounter. I think there are different aspects that people focus on when they decide whether or not they like the game.
It looks interesting. :)
I'm not intending to skip generations though, and I have yet to get Crystal... as a kid, my parents didn't like Pokémon, so I only got Pokémon Blue for myself when I turned 18, less than 2 years ago. I did enjoy it, though! But I haven't played it much after beating the Elite Four.
Anyway, a friend of mine thinks Pokémon is a dead cow by now, but I doubt it. I think that if it is done right, there can be another popular Pokémon game.
Quote from: 607 on March 02, 2019, 08:30:12 AMI think that if it is done right, there can be another popular Pokémon game.
Well, every pokemon game is popular by default. But in terms of mainstream popularity, that pokemon game was pokemon Go (and somewhat pokemon Let's Go), and those games were no where near to being "done right." So I think it has more to do with the intended audience than how the game is done. (A lot of people who liked early pokemon days liked it simply for the experience that they had with playing the game with friends, and that isn't something that you can recreate as easily now-a-days.
I honestly thoroughly enjoyed Let's Go, but I went into it expecting a different kind of experience. I accepted it as it was as much as I objectively assessed it (not a good procedure for a review) but overall I had a great time with it. It also probably helped that Shota Kageyama did virtually all the music which made me incredibly happy (Slow may remember that of all the composers Pokémon has ever had, he was my favorite until he went indie).
Back to Pokémon Sword and Shield though, I'll have to leave my full rant here later but in short I think it's gonna be the first game that I flat out don't buy. While there are a bunch of big reasons, not surprisingly the biggest is probably the lack of the national dex. Solid discussion about the topic exists on YouTube if you want to dig into that further but in short, I'm frankly not really buying the reasons that Jun'ichi Masuda gave us. On top of that, the box legends look like burning garbage (how many dog/cat-inspired legends do we have already anyways?), mega evolutions and Z moves are gone completely (I could care less about the Z moves tbh but I was just really getting used to megas), we get this dumbass dynamax crap which is literally just "omg giant pokemon are obviously stronger so lets just make them big". The new pokemon designs from what I've seen look solid, but the more we got overall the more and more uneasy I got until I was almost on the fence considering actually not getting either- till the announcement about the national dex pushed me over the line. Pokémon Home my ass.
Plus, you don't absolutely need the game. You can always replay the older games. I, personally, am not affected by any of the reasons you listed, because I just like the core game in general. Like, no matter what they do to the game, as long as I can catch and train up pokemon, I'm satisfied. I find my joy in pokemon through multiple playthroughs and just going through the experience of raising up my pokemon.
For me, just about everything I love about the Pokémon games exists in the post-story, and all stems from the complete pokédex. The core story of the game is a bonus adventure to enjoy with pokémon but doesn't comprise the meat of what I really love about it. The stories are memorable- don't get me wrong- and I love them, but to shut down the post story basically forfeits my real incentive to participate.
I can understand that, it's extremely satisfying to be able to obtain and use pokemon found outside the games and all that other jazz.
