I genuinely am convinced most don't actually like JRPGs and justplay pokemon from popularity

Well yeag

That's obvious

It's cynical, but again, this fanbase is back and forth

And what's wrong with that?

Pokemon has no reason to pander to jrpg tropes

It's wrong because you're sitting there being like "Oh, GF is giving us half the content for double the price" but then you're being like "It doesn't have to be like other JRPGs!"

You realize how backwards that is??

Hell it is using all the jrpg tropes. Except no human party members

Ehhhh not really?

Pokemon can be like pokemon

Wait what's amount if content got to with it being like jrpgs

How do you argue for more content, or just more in general, only to basically want it to stick to its ways and be more tradtional? That does't make sense

If swsh was a hd version of HeartGold or something, then it's worth 60

A kid going out of town to explore the world ends up meeting a group of villains that wants to take over the world while the hero wants to do something else, and the hero takes them all down

That seems like two different issues

I mean, im fine with criticiam of pokemon as long as its "I dont like it, so no one is allowed to like it."

Yeah, the older games had a ton more content for half the price

So in this case, pokemon being traditional is better

Rather than it being more and more linear

Yes beacuse story is more linear

Yeah tbf Ama, Quid isn't saying it needs more than before she's saying she thinks it has less than before and wants it to be on equal grounds

I think

Pretty much ^

Honestly im kinda glad a pokemon discussion is going on, i need a different train of thought today.

I dont need more story

I would like to see an "a link between worlds" attempt in Pokemon. Which means going back to the old grid system, but you can choose which arena you want to do first
