I'm very curious what carry overs to Gen. 9 because I really like the damaging mechanic to the trainer. Also hope they ditch turn based battling entirely to try a real time battling system.
I think Oshawott got it the worst...Not gonna lie, not happy with what they did to the Rowlett line....
At this point, I think it's time for them to drop Game Freak as the developer and find a team that can actually get the most out of the franchise and hardware's potential.As much as I'm enjoying this game, I kinda wish it was bigger budget. I don't know how you can have one of the biggest franchises in the world and still have it looking as dodgy and awkward as this does some times.

Nintendo have frustrated me more and more lately, and this game is a great example of why. I feel like Nintendo have never needed to worry as much about performance because you could generally rely on a Nintendo exclusive being a pretty solid, all round experience.
But it's one thing to not need to compete with the other consoles... But when you're not even keeping up with the performance of other titles on your platform, I think that's an issue.
Still enjoying the fun of this game but sheeesh it looks and feels rough at times.
I mean, its Game Freak. Different developers and different teams are able to handle the Switch hardware differently. I mean, Capcom used dark magic to get the RE Engine to work as good as it did in Rise. And it definitely helps that Nintendo has been working on HD systems since the Wii U, unlike Game Freak, who pretty much was pushed into HD development by Nintendo killing off the 3DS.
Scarlet & Violet was confirmed to be actually open world. Seen fans speculate that may mean an overhaul to the Gym Leaders where they can be challenged in any order. Of course the wish is there are 18 Gyms we can challenge too.Between 1996 and 2022 there's only been 8 years without a main game release. Yes some of those years were remakes bringing 20+ year old games to new hardware but still. . . . Seems to me like they just focus on moving forward incrementally.
The way they develop them and speed which they're cranking them out isn't leaving much room for a big expansion. It's more like S&S gave us the wild. Arceus built on that some, and now it seems Scarlet and Violet may take that open concept even a little further. Would I love a complete overhaul pulling them to BotW type open world with real time battle? Yup. I would love nothing more than to swoop down on my Charizard and take out the bad guys but they move to slow in the development. I'm sure whatever they're working on for 2023 will also only be incrementally better when it comes to one aspect of the next two.
