While Pokemon SS is still a disappointment compared to other Switch games it's still the first legitimate step up since ruby/sapphire. Diamond and pearl did nothing new besides the special attack split, black and white was a need 1 to 1 copy of the originals, x and y only added mega evolutions - a dumb gimmick and Sun and moon only added another dumb gimmick and the alolan forms, which were cool I guess.
This game adds "the wild." This is the first Pokemon game that has a big open world with Pokemon wandering around and different weather. It's really pathetic that the whole game isn't like that but it is still the first major improvement gamefreak has made to the formula in 15 years and we should acknowledge that.

No one enjoys slowly walking through grass because random shitmons you alreadybhave 5 of keep popping up.

Platinum is the peak of Pokémon.

Enjoy not having enough experience to beat the gym and then having to sit outside grinding for 20 minutes. Random encounters are trash.
Nicholas Parker
I hope you realize ruby and sapphire are some of the worst Pokemon games.
Chase Hill
I liked platinum as well but aside from the special split it was just emerald with new pokemon. It represented stagnation for the franchise.

Are people not happy with the open world zone?
Chase Garcia
>Open world zone Literally just empty fields and patches of Grass There's nothing engaging, or remotely fun about it. Have Pokemon fans sunk so low, that they unironically get excited over empty fields?
Don’t fix what isn’t broken. Them changing the core of the series is why recent games suck ass.
Connor Scott
15 years for improvement? That's fucking pathetic
Jaxon Lee
Play a real JRPG, kiddo. Xenoblade Chronicles exists for a fucking reason.

we haven't seen shit user what if those fields are not only filled with wild mons, but wild mons that don't look like they're coming from your average korean mmo?
what if you see them playing around and chasing each other, or even hunting? what if you can stumble upon a mother and her pups? and see her growling at you for approaching them?
of course it won't be nearly as good as this because we're talking about a japanese game, but still, maybe we'll have this within the next two decades and this is the first step they needed to take to get there

You're not even reading retard. That other guy said you can just spam repels to avoid wild fights but without those fights you would be horribly underleveled.
