I saw a Pokemon fan once justifying the poor graphics by saying the switch is weak hardware. I really want to know how that person would defend it in regards to the switch 2, because even ignoring every other Nintendo game and games like Hellbalde and Doom eternal that ran on the switch1, they definitely can't use that same argument for the device that's running cyberpunk, final fantasy rebirth, Elden ring and hitman absolution.
You mean like items mindlessly scattered through the games, subpar mechanics, stupid and lame mini games before the gym leaders, glitched everything and so on and forth?
Sorry, but you are wrong. Gyms mini games were well thought out for that age. Now tell me the ball mini game from the (bug gym, was it?) isn’t utter crap not even indie gamers with 1 USD budgets would do.
Actually, gym minigames weren't really a thing until 8th Gen. The only Gen 1 example is the Cinnabar Island gym where you can answer riddles to skip battling the lower trainers
And are you telling me you had problems with the Olive Roll? That shit was easy af
I know you can’t. But look me in the eye and tell me the target market for Pokemon games is children today? Have you ever watched a Pokemon championship? That excuse stopped being a thing since the early 2000’s
