You reset your memory, suddenly you see everything upside down, you fall on your face, you don't know how to walk. You want to ask for help but you don't know how to talk, you cry. You are a baby in a man's body.
New Pokémon is so ass.
As a kid I loved the sense of adventure, going into every building to find stuff and sometimes getting a bit lost.
These days the games lock you onto the rails so much, and so much crappy dialogue from boring characters.
I liked the rival showing up randomly, acting like an arsehole, and having a tough team.
Go play the Pokémon games you played as a kid today and tell me they aren't on rails and have boring dialogue. The games haven't changed much, you've just grown up.
I think that it's less that the dialog is more interesting and that it's less in your face. It's much easier to mash A and not pay attention to textboxes than it is to sit through a scripted cutscene of banal drivel.
while i think swsh was extremely linear, SV was less linear than most previous pokemon titles, due to two things.
- the game doesnt push you to go clockwise nor counterclockwise, so which way you go about playing the game changes.
and
- theres functionally 3 journeys youre doing simultaneously with the games rivals, hunting rare ingredients/large monster, classic gym run, and stopping student organization, which you can do out of order (game doesnt enforce it). Imo the least on rails pokemon title because of that.
Id rather have the mindset of a kid again, no knowledge about how ass the Industry is, barely a concept of what a bad or good game is
Ignorance is bliss as they say

I also blame modern internet, review, guides, articles you name it, no more room for mystery, the same format also killed the interesting stuff, rumors and whatnot that I used to find in GTA games (especially in San Andreas).
Just play a rom hack, and if your issue is new mons, play the infinite merger rom hack. Problem solved.
The only reason I don't try ROM hacks is that I am a slow patient gamer and I haven't even finished the main saga :(
Go get yourself a console and do it. You can tell your mom I said it was okay
a lot of old consoles/games are super expensive now
Avast matey.
Emulators are free
I literally just thought "man I haven't played yellow in like a year, I should pull out the GBC" but kept scrolling, and saw this three posts later. I suppose that's the sign I was waiting for.
Depending upon how 'reset' works here, would they like it? I never got into pokemon (I was in high school when the first game came out, working part time, and involved in many school activities). I've seen a couple episodes of the anime just watching TV at various times and I've watched people play through some games (mostly on YouTube, but also my wife playing a bit on our TV). It really just seems like a glorified paper-rock-scissors simulator to me with some extra complexity and a whole lot of memorization. Without the nostalgia nor love of the universe, it does nothing for me (though I would probably feel differently if it were something I'm actually into).
Yeah, I don't feel like they would. A big part of the 'fun' as a kid is that you're learning about all these Pokémon and your brain registers it as learning useful things. As an adult, you'd be starkly aware that it's not useful, in particular also because you're much less likely to have a friend group, where you can chat about this stuff.
I cannot reset my memory, but I kinda relieved that nostalgia playing it recently in those neat Chinese emulators
There are a lot of games and Tv Shows I’d like to do this with. It would need to be selective because I wouldn’t want to miss memories with friends and stuff.
These come to mind TV: Mr. Robot, The Expanse
Games: Fallout (pick any), Witcher 3, Skyrim
