Hey all!

Figured we’d try something like this. Let me know what you all think, and if you have any feedback on what you would like a weekly thread like this to look like. Thanks

What are you all playing? Anything you got from the steam sale you’re enjoying?

It's so irritating that S/V could have been the definitive Pokemon experience but it ended up being what it was. I guess I can't really blame them for not putting the effort. I mean why should they when everyone bought it anyway (I did too, I'm part of the problem)

I guess for me there was so much fun to be had grinding out an optimized team by breeding and training them up, and the new games sort of trivialized all of that. Totally understand why, but it took a lot out of it for me.

The open world in them is nice initially, but imo they failed to make exploration rewarding enough, so really it's like... What's the point.

I still like catching 'em all but it even seems like they've de-emphasized that.

Sorry to rant just an old Pokemon fan who can't really move on.
