Pokémon games have become consistently ugly, and it's alright to wish they weren't (www.eurogamer.net)

I didn't mind the graphics in Arceus, but the game was just boring. And hours of cutscenes which were only walls of text didn't help.

I played my first real Pokémon game a short while back and was so surprised at just how shit it was. Before that I only played like fan games of Pokémon like pokerogue, showdown, and the Minecraft ones.

I can’t wrap my head around why you can’t change the animation speed in the real games. I only got a few hours in before I got tired of watching Pokémon terastalize into some crystal abomination with a stupid hat.
