15M people and metacritic user score of 8.1 says many people found it exciting
We are talking about the same franchise where your average town is 4 buildings with nothing to do inside of other than some NPC saying I LOVE MY CLEFAIRY IT SMELLS LIKE BLUEBERRIES (Legends singular town easily had more to do in it than entire towns of other generations combined) and the wilderness are areas where you find Pokemon to capture and items to collect, which is... Legends's gameplay loop too. Legends offers a lot of what Pokemon fans already like about the main games too.
What did he say?
I agree but I wouldn’t be opposed to a Lets go style either.
Because people have assumed he used the YouTube backend, or more recently, eShop backend.
So, do you deliver your own mail, or do you have your own mail person? But then who delivers his mail? Is there a never-ending chain of mailmen delivering mail to other mailmen? Well, I guess a P.O. box could in theory break the chain...
I would prefer a Let's Go style to be honest.
Yes! I loved how clean the art style looked.
If this sort of thing bothers you, I have a few consistent habits to avoid the intense negativity surrounding Pokémon... Like, I have Pokémon (the word) muted on Twitter, I generally limit Pokémon talk to personal friends who I know either are more likely to be positive, or who respect that I don't always want to hear about the negativity. And lastly, I definitely stay away from Pokémon specific threads/spaces on the internet in the weeks surrounding announcements or game releases. All of these things have generally helped me to not see the same level of concentrated anger that I witnessed during the lead up to and release of SwSh, which is when I started adopting these habits.
Manifesting Pokémon Pinball on NSO, it's never been rereleased
That was aways my exact though on the subject. Sinnoh's map was, like, the epitome of the "old way" in complexity and labyrinth-esque layout, which headbutts directly with Sword and Shield's world design methodology, along with requiring a higher amount of brand new assets than Sword Shield needed to have. At that point this has gone from "mid-gen remakes to train our other team" to "just straight up a completely new tentpole release that is going to take more effort than our new gen game" and by that point, like you said, you might as well just do a brand new game with a solid scenario excuse for why it's so different from the original instead of risking making a DP remake that has 1/4 of the content DP had.
My response to the thread.
The only ones left would be Celebi and Deoxys.
Man, I thought I had a pretty unique and original idea, but I guess not.
Historically, there’s very little reason to assume they have been given said time, however.
Battle flow in Legends is so much better than the mainline games they might as well be two different series, for one thing.
I get that sentiment, especially when the original games aren't available to the wider public and remakes can substitute them in full, but a game that sucks can always be ignored, there's always the next, and most of BDSP's problems (especially outside of the not exactly fantastic chibi artstyle) arguably stemmed from inexperience, time constraints, and creative ones. An ILCA that's not getting the short end of the stick would definitely do a better job a second go around, I think (and hope).
That's true actually. I guess it would at least mean that a new generation of players can enjoy the Gen 5 games (or at least a crappy version of them) for the first time. I just really hope they do it justice.
Deoxys if you have SV save
At least personally the main problem with BDSP is in its very conception
I'd rather have something fresh too, that's why I want GF to stop making remakes and continue doing experimental revisits of past regions a la PLA. They can be prequel/sequels or anything of the sort, which is an easier to reach goal when GF can take their time while another third-party developer does a stop-gap smaller scale RPG aimed at the holiday window that GF would otherwise miss. On top of that you can give the third-party dev creative freedom. In such a scenario I'd want for GF to allow ILCA (or whoever) to redesign gym leaders and the E4, to expand on towns/routes/post-game, you name it. ILCA is a big studio, they sure have plenty of artists and game designers in it. Just give them more leeway.
For me remasters are more than preservation, they are a way to make old games more playable according to modern standards. While I understand the criticisms for BDSP, I rather play that than touch the originals or even Platinum.
