Ok.
ON TO THE VIDEO!
In my last Pokemon Switch video.
I talked a lot about changes I wanted to see introduced to the Pokemon franchise's formula,
y'know, with Nintendo Switch being the perfect place to refresh and renew big Nintendo franchises
and all.
I figured, WHY NOT! & threw some ideas into the ring.
Prefacing ALL of them with the fact that, for Pokemon, the most profitable I.P IN THE
WORLD, the sky is the limit.
If a team like CD Projekt Red can manage a game like The Witcher 3 in about 3 and a half
years.
Media juggernauts like Nintendo, Game Freak, and Pokemon Company at large can make a game
just as grande in a comparable amount of time.
Even faster given the right team, tools, budget.
All things a brand with the reverence and clout on such a level can easily attract.
Some of those purposed changes got taken completely out of context and people assumed I wanted
to completely GUT the core of Pokemon and while that wouldn't be the worst thing in
the world for a 20+ year old franchise that has gone virtually unchanged since it's
inception that wasn't my intent.
SOOOO lets talk about Pokemon for Switch again with the added context of the reception of
THAT video in addition to about a month of additional information through rumors and
the like.
First, let's address the biggest complaints in the video then I wanna touch on my thoughts
on the timing of a Gen 4 remake.
THE BIGGEST of which spawning from people drawing conclusions and running with them.
What I'm referring to is the portion of the video where I said that I would like the
battle system to add the ability to TELL your pokemon to jump and dodge with the key word
being TELL.
A lot of people took that as me wanting Pokken tournament mechanics in the next main line
game as if I didn't know of Pokken's existence to just say that in the video IF that is what
I wanted.
Sooo to be super specific that's not what that meant.
I meant something along the lines of quick time events of some sort with varying degrees
of difficulty depending on the moves accuracy for obvious reasons, your pokemon's speed
because if it's quick it should have an easier time dodging, the opponent Pokemon's
speed because if IT'S quicker than not so much, the environment with icy or muddy terrain
effecting your Pokemon's movement (which again, for the peeps in the back, I am not
saying the trainer should directly control.)
You know.
Stuff like that.
Funnily enough, some time after my video came out in November rumors that Game Freak would
be implementing a system along these lines in the Switch Pokemon games started making
the rounds, so, maybe Game Freak themselves understand that the bulk of Pokemon fans want
changes.
Something that also played out in my video's like to dislike ratio.
The next part of that is the ability to make improvised attacks like Ash is known to do
in the anime.
People seem to think this is some crazy hard mechanic for developers to implement BUT there's
2 things to counter that the 1st of which being what I continue to reference POKEMON
IS NOT A ROOKIE INDIE DEV!
Pokemon company is a multi billion dollar company with an I.P that brings in billions
of dollars a year any mechanic they see worth pursuing they have the money, talent, and/or
resources necessary to do.
This fact is underscored by the fact that Game Freak and other partners like Creatures
Inc have been posting Job Listings all over the place since my last video for such talent.
the 2nd reason being, they've already done a simplified version of this with isolated
moves in the past.
The Water, Grass, & Fire Pledge Attacks from Gen 5.
They could expand that line of thought into an if this than that system for every type
of move.
The way they interact should be 2nd nature, it's not hard to understand that water attacks
should pool in certain terrains, the puddles should present the possibility of weakened
fire attacks, steam lowering visibility and therefore accuracy, etc.
Or fire being set to grass under a Pokemon resulting in extra damage if not positioned
correctly.
Which the trainer could direct their Pokemon to correct through a limited movement command
system similar to a Fire Emblem but NOT full strategy game levels of this mechanic.
Just enough to limit movement per turn without robbing you of the chance to attack.
To which people said and will say "BUT THIS IS A KIDS GAME!"
To which I SAY so is pretty much everything else Nintendo makes.
That doesn't stop them from making complex systems in Fire Emblem while simultaneously
making it approachable.
Kids aren't DUMB.
The systems can stand to gain complexities like these while remaining approachable and
understandable for kids.
The only "BUT WHAT ABOUT" comments I will even briefly entertain with any amount of
concern is the competitive scene.
& in all honesty, my initial instinct in the original video was to suggest they make these
new systems an experimental option.
An additional battle mode similar to the implemeentation of double battles in gen 3.
They weren't EVERYWHERE but the were present.
& look at them now, the mode of choice for competitive.
Soooo, that leads me to say, competitive players need to just suck it up and adapt if Game
Freak opts to change things up.
The concern shouldn't be if the battle system changes.
It should be if the new system can be competitive WHICH I'm sure it can be, especially if
the changes they are along the lines of what I suggested.
Along those lines, I made a comment about the random encounters.
Allow me to reiterate.
They don't need to be in the game.
Switch is powerful enough to render a visual representation of Pokemon in the world.
Random encounters were a means to an end that devolved into a convention.
This convention is no longer NEEDED.
Pokemon will still be Pokemon without the tedium of random encounters.
Surprise attacks can still happen with Pokemon sneak attacking from grass that actually IS
tall, like, waist tall grass.
They can have all the Pokemon pouncing that you want.
Xenoblade Chronicles is a perfect example of how wild encounters could work in a console
level Pokemon game.
It's not a cakewalk that allows you to skip all challenging encounters but it's also
not tedious and annoying with the every 2 steps innundation of encounters.
I also took a few digs at 3DS.
Look.
I have no beef with 3DS.
I purchased 3 of them.
1 of which at launch for FULL price.
I'm just not blind to the fact that 3DS is an aging piece of hardware that has always
pushed 3DS past its limit.
3DS isn't even powerful enough to render the game in its titular 3D due to its low
processing power.
I get that not everyone can afford a Switch right now, but, we need to be objective here.
Moving the series to Switch is undoubtedly the best option.
Hence the decision they made to end Pokemon 3DS games at Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.
The next thing I touched on that was met with opposition is something I personally feel
is the MOST baseless and subjective thing to be up in arms about, that thing, was, the
art style.
In my original video I spoke about how I want an anime art style a kin to the Naruto Ultimate
Ninja Storm games.
Some people strangely had an… issue with this…?
Despite the fact that the Pokemon games are already a janky version of this approach in
their current state.
I understand that a lot of fans want this super realistic style which is all well and
good… but… an anime style would undoubtedly look a hell of a lot better on Switch.
& it would fit Pokemon a lot better as well.
Not every series needs a dark gritty reboot.
Speaking of reboot, the last thing I want to touch on is the desire for a gen 4 remake,
which, I think could be cool, I DON'T think that should be the introduction to Switch,
but, whenever they do it, F they do it, because, contrary to popular belief, Game Freak never
made a public oath to remake every game ever in the order that we want.
But, I digress.
Nintendo Switch I think is a perfect opportunity to make the DS games visually interesting
again.
3DS wasn't going to be a big enough leap in technology compared to the other generations.
Switch is and then some.
Other than the added technical prowess I think it's imperative that Game Freak fixes the
pacing of Gen 4
There's a few other things that I mentioned in that video like a trainer progression system,
trainer classes, optional vocation changes like becoming a Professor, Gym Leader, Breeder,
etc. that not a whole lot of people disagreed with so If you haven't watched that yet
definitely check it out to hear my thoughts on those things.
BUT those are my thoughts, what do YOU think the 1st Nintendo Switch Pokemon game will
be?
Are you open to Breath of the Wild style sweeping changes to the franchise?
Or are you MORE excited for the eventual gen 4 remakes?
