You can't tell me these intelligent rich people sat in a room fro hours and said that SP&BD were great ideas. To rob ignorant fans, sure. But in terms of creativity, this game should not have left the rough drafts.
Thank the gamer gods if there is one. That I did not have to spend a dime on a Switch and on this Pokemon game.
First off to all the sensitive nerds on IMDB, I am a Pokemon Master. I've beaten the Yellows, Blues, Silver, Pearls, Suns and etc.
My fav pokemon is Dragonite and my original pearl team back in the day consisted of Infernape, Luxray, Straptor, Gastrodon, Krictitune and Golem.
Unlike you who are unable to criticize a company. I can and I already do and will again. It's unfortunate that YOU can't.
Before the SP and BD were announced I always wanted a remake, when I say remake I don't mean copy and paste like we just got. That being said, early this year when I heard about the remake, I was excited. After skipping out on Sword and Shield, in my opinion looked filthy I was ready for one last rodeo in the Pokemon Universe before I retire from Pokemon for good.
Towards the day of release, I went from wanting to buy a Switch and get SP or BD to forgetting about it. I didn't even realize it was released until I saw my Little cousin playing it. I had forgotten all about it.
I just had to give it a go and I mean help him out a bit. Sometimes Pokemon games can be hard for little tykes.
As I was playing it I was expecting Pearl but with new features, story and Pokémon. I spent a couple of days hoping things would get better, and they didn't. I didn't receive any new and worthwhile. It's the same game as Pearl from 2006. Nothing stood out in this game. This was a literal remake... With corny babyish upgraded graphics. And still no voice-overs. If they can make stale Pokémon shows, then they can add a couple voices into their copy and paste games.
The same things I did on Pearl I was doing it in SP&BD. A total let down, I felt betrayed. The game should have been sold for 20 bucks. 80 bucks should be considered a crime.
I'm grateful that I didn't waste money on a Switch and on an expensive literal remake game. I tell you I was excited about this moment for years. It finally came and it was a major let down. For me to retire as a Pokémon master this way is disrespectful. Pokémon debuted when I was in elementary school. I knew of Pokémon since the 90s and supported the hell out of them for over 20 years, and they repay me with subpar games and a lousy final over expensive Pokémon run. No Pokémon game is worth more than 50 bucks, to say the least. You do the same things in all Pokémon games. Plus they are corny to the max. Still I enjoyed it and back then the games were sold at a decent price, while I still supported Pokemon because I enjoyed their games. Now that I'm older, I needed to say goodbye, and it wasn't a pleasant departure.
This game was filth. Don't buy this game. Nintendo and Pokemon just robbed from many of their beloved and loyal fans haha! Safe to say that they didn't rob me though.
