The kind of game you want to go back in time for to experience a first playthrough again. The storytelling in this moment was incredibly well done and surprisingly mature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacobdaniel Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Legends Arecues > Scarlet & Violet. I hope next gen, they merge the best of PLA (overworld catching mechanics, wild pokemon attacking you, etc.) with the best of Scarlet/Violet (open world, better battling mechanics, gym leaders, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SashaDevachelli Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 PLA was the TRUE remake of gen 4, and it was executed flawlessly haven’t enjoyed a pokemon game like that in ages, still remember the shock of being banished from the village and walking away as everyone stared, and of course the legendary volo/giratina fight. Ahhhh the excellence It’s been a month and I haven’t touched Violet at all the home compatibility needs to hurry up so I can restart a playthrough.

JonginBey Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 The way I went from hyping up BDSP and dragging PLA in the months leading up to both only to SWITCH. I don’t regret it. Truly an amazing game I think the only thing stopping me from ever replaying it is the thought of having to collect the Spiritomb wisp again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonginBey Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Hit 105 hours on Scarlet. The Greninja raids sparked another 8-10 hours out of me King! The DLC needs to hurry though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hausofdave Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 doing another replay of PLA, truly the best Pokémon games in ages, since B2W2 days here's to hoping for another core series of the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoyLikeYouSuxx Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 I’m sorry but PLA was so boring for me it felt devoid of agency and played like an archaic husk of a Pokémon game. I’m glad a lot people enjoyed it but I couldn’t make it 9 hours in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John. Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 PLA is the best Pokemon game on the Switch. ScarVlet is a cute girl, but miss PLA is the main attraction. It was actually a breath of fresh air. The catching mechanic is still amazing and made completing the dex so much more enjoyable because you're actually trying to catch it (and mutli release from the start). King Kazumasa Iwao deserves a raise and be the director for gen 10. Fire SH!Tgeru. Also, in game "Link" trade item so you aren't forced/depend to tried with someone else It's honesty in my top 3 Pokemon games of all times. The first two spots are honesty always switching because they're both that amazing. Emerald = HGSS > PLA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnusualBoy Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Now that we have all the "protean" starters in game: Cinderace, Meowcarada and Greninja. Which one do you think it's the best one competitive wise, design wise, etc? Best competitive wise: Cinderace. He hits hard, has strong moves in PB, GS, HJK, DE and a good hazard and screens controller move Most versatile: Greninja. Can run physical or special movepool or mixed and out of the three he has the wider movepool: ice, grass, poison, psychic, fighting, normal, bug, rock, ground, ghost. My fave design wise: Greninja. A frog ninja, you can't get any better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatsmydemi Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 (edited) I don't remember Cinderace being as used as Meowscarada is right now. She's being used even with Overgrow instead of Protean. That tells you how good she is. That cat is everywhere. Her signature move gives her the edge I think. That thing just hits too hard. Idk about Greninja because I didn't play VGC as much as I do today. And in Cinderace's case, it didn't help that her hidden ability was locked for months and by the time it was released, he was overshadowed by the superior grass starter. Utility: Meowscarada > Greninja > Cinderace Design: Greninja > Cinderace > Meowscarada Edited January 31, 2023 by thatsmydemi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXavril Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 PLA really was a breath of fresh air in the series. It added SO many much needed updates, and tbh it outsold Violet for me. I just replayed it last month so the "no replayability" comments don't make sense to me. I had just as much fun playing it as I did the first time.

loveisdead9582 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 (edited) PLA had the best storyline of all of the Switch games. It needed a bigger dex and true open world, but it was a breath of fresh air. SV had better open world mechanics and textures but the storyline was boring as hell (except for area zero). They need to combine the overworld catching mechanics from PLA along with player damage and the open world and battle mechanics from SV. Get a GOOD storyline for the DLC and maybe SV can be saved. Im about to transfer my living dex to a new run in PLA and just run it with the shiny charm. Already more replay power than SV (which I’ve pretty much abandoned except for raids).

The game simply doesn't suck me in I think it was really fun a not as fun as PLA but more than SwSh. It helped that I used three different teams of 6 for each path so I was always grinding and training my mons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree so much, especially with the bolded part. I also think pokemon NEEDS a level-scaling system if they're going to do an open-world game.
