I mean, that’s fair. I wasn’t expecting game-of-the-year out of it. I really don’t care about stock assets as long as they don’t distract from the game.
I’ll be totally honest though: pokemon is one of the highest grossing media franchises of all time, I couldn’t care less about folks taking good ideas from them. Their new games are clearly rushed and play badly with bad stories.
I can sympathize with that to a certain extent but this just seems like a shameless cash grab to me. It’s one thing to take good ideas and build on them, it’s another to repackage them just enough that the main goal is avoiding copyright issues.
ScarVio and SwSh were shameless cash grabs, especially ScarVio. Gamefreak is insanely lazy now. I’m totally cool with a company jockin their style and making a game that’s more fun (and runs above 10FPS)
This has been in early access for like 4 years now and people seem to have given up on getting much support for it. Maybe I’m overly cynical after many Epic experiences but I don’t trust them :shrug: I’ll reconsider if it’s still going strong and actively being supported in a year or so.

They’ve been in development like 3 years now, I wouldn’t call it a cash grab.

Cash grab or not. They got the formula down for a fun game. Good for them.
