Modern Pokemon games hold your hand too much. (self.gaming)

I am playing Pokemon Violet at the moment and it is a total bore. I have played the game so many times and I just want to run around catch Pokemon and battle.

I do not need another tutorial about what a Pokemon center is. Or a tutorial to tell me that I need to use a Pokeball to catch a Pokemon.

Can we get a "I've played this game 100 times" mode where it just saves the tutorials and lets us play the game?

I'm right there with you. I've been around since red/blue on the GameBoy, but I started seriously playing when my kid got into it with black/white. We played every generations together since then. We're really burned out with Scarlet/Violet. The throwaway gimmicks, the hand holding, the lousy graphics, the glitchy multiplayer, it's painful because of the memories associated with Pokemon. We keep hoping they up their game only to be disappointed at release. Probably should just let go at this point.

I was big into red and blue. I know I played gold and ruby, but I don't really remember them. Then I didn't play again until black and white.

I enjoyed black and white, but sword was a huge letdown. It seemed that they made the games even more dumbed down then they used to be.

What if you could have everything you wanted and more?

Pokemmo actually was nice to get into the games I haven't played. Was an OG blue/red but had a hard time getting into the other games. Now I've almost beat all 4 games within pokemmo

Free to play MMOs isn't my cup of tea.
