I didn’t watch the video but the newer Pokémon games are actually bad by different measures.
The graphics of the newest one (whatever it is called) is at least a whole generation behind other Switch titles and still it suffers from FPS drops and textures that just pop up while already in view.
That is just objectively bad.
That they never really innovated very much on the turn based RPG formula or that the newer games are very easy are things that I don’t even mind, especially because the games are supposed to be accessible for children.
That could make for a nice relaxing game after a long day of work.
But I am not willing to pay 70 something bucks for a game that is so obviously made without the necessary care for the product.
Just because they are for kids doesn’t mean they have to be garbage. The quality of the games has gone downhill fast and they refuse to do simple things like update the ancient animations or polish any of the 3d assets beyond the ps2 era.
It’s a joke compared to other kids games these days.
The graphics quality looks like a beta test of a ps3 game, and has frequent graphical gitches and errors. More and more features of previous titles are shaved off with each installment, and less and less polish is applied in spite of that.
Its not really hyperbole. The most recent games are kinda garbage. Especially from the studio spearheading the largest existing franchise on the planet.

So it’s not that the games are bad, it’s that the goal of the games is to provide a simple and fun game for kids to be introduced to Pokemon.
Makes sense to me and clearly they are doing a good job of it. Even if it makes the hardcore games angry that their tastes aren’t being catered to.

The hyperbole makes it hard to take you seriously. Games being either amazing or garbage is just an exhausting mentality to be around.

It’s not hyperbole to say Pokemon S and V ran like garbage.
