#if it rains in a forest it'll chug like a coal engine

After revisiting Pokémon Scarlet, I'd say my final assessment of it is an excellent Pokémon story in a subpar Pokémon game.
#nevert's rambling#pokemon#pokemon scarlet and violet#like the story is wonderful. best one we've gotten from the franchise.#and i play primarily for the story. the story comes right after the new little guys.#so i like scarlet#but everything else is...#the lighting isn't great and it obscures shinies#if it rains in a forest it'll chug like a coal engine#tera raids don't get me started on those again#i just ranted about those to my friends on discord#this next part isn't BAD it's just my nitpicking#the first time i stepped out of mesagoza i think i actually got sensory overload#no other pokemon game has done that to me (aside from masters but that was popups)#i miss the old ways#i miss knowing where routes begin and end#i miss pokemon having their specific spots to show up#i miss ledges that you can't climb back up from once you jump off them#i miss fishing wherever you please#i miss FISHING#i'm not a fan of the direction mainline pokemon areas are going#i can barely even remember their names#i know a lot of players want to hop off the beaten path#but i want there to be a beaten path to hop off of!#i want one story to guide me across the region#i want the gyms to have a numerical order#i want team crushing and gym battling to be beats in the same song#and we had all that just a generation ago!#please. game freak. i don't want any news about gen 10 until like 2028#take your time. make it the best you can. make it flow together. even if i don't like how it does.
