Not to be the "haunted by bad takes" person but I'm still thinking of the person who said that Pokemon Scarlet and Violet was the same as every other game in the series because it's still just fighting gym leaders, getting badges, and then becoming champion/the YouTuber that said Scarlet and Violet challenges are easy because the game is basically just a boss rush and like.

I mean if you don't like or don't want to engage with the other 2/3rds of the main story whatever but you don't then get to act like they don't exist

#something about Pokémon fans makes them focus on the most surface level fucking things to complain about #like 'the series isn't innovating it's still a water fire grass starter!' my brother and Christ there aren't any perfect type triangles #that don't include one of those three types #we're not getting dark psychic fighting starters because then dark is too good #or the rivals aren't MEAN anymore like the hell are you talking about the last time we had an exclusively duck rival was Silver #idk maybe I need make this a cogent thought but god if we're going to criticize the Pokémon series can we have criticism that reflect what #is actually happening in the games?#WE HAVEN'T SEEN EMMA IN YEARS. YEARS #also DLC incentivizes the games to have fewer cool Legendaries and a weaker post game story #I would actually love to do a narrative analysis of the Pokémon games but that #would take so long #and require playing gen I to compare it to the remake #sorry I woke up and chose violence #fandom salt
