    Little things you like about Pokémon

    I love how Pokemon doesn't force you to switch around members of your party like old-school RPGs (or in other words, forces guest star party members on you). It's entirely up to the player's discretion to swap their team if they are underpowered or what have you and that's how it should be...

    (Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

    this post intrigued me so I tried pokemon trozei. banging soundtrack and I adore the artstyle, reminds me of HarmoKnight. gameplay is surprisingly fun but why do the bosses smack you in the face for the simple crime of playing pokemon trozei? they are legit challenging (granted I don't play...

    Oh both TM methods absolutely have solid arguments for them, non-reusable makes it so your choice has more weight vs putting OP TMs like EQ in postgame. It is totally a preference thing.

    I love BW1 but a lot of stuff is turbo busted not long into that game.

    Pokémon Presents: Pokémon Day 2026

    Even as someone who prefers RBY to FRLG (early installment weirdness and the iconic 8-bit graphics are just that magical), I'm very happy FRLG got modern ports. I'm probably going to get a copy, perhaps Firered. Maybe we'll meme with a GlareBite flinch Arbok because those games aren't...

    While on the subject of modern Pokemon I'm gonna say this: Pokemon doesn't need to be an insanely difficult franchise that older fans always want it to be. I like that I can use unusual or lacking Pokemon to form my own difficulty. I don't want official Pokemon games being ROM hack hard, and...

    Look, as someone who has been playing the old games since Emerald, those old games ain't perfect. Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow/FRLG: Some fans go "the other games do a much better job" but TBH I think the originals still MOSTLY hold up when you take it into consideration they were massive for Game...

    At this point I think being positive about Modern Pokemon Discourse is the actual unpopular opinion, Scarlet and Violet / Legends Z-A are a lot of fun and show the franchise still has good ideas (even when crunched to oblivion). But you can't just LIKE modern Pokemon anymore because if you do...
