All it needed was for there to be catching Pokemon that you grow a stronger bond with through battles, thus making you feel like a Pokemon trainer. And they seem to have failed that.
The battle system is weak. Gyms have been ruined. "Catching Pokemon to level up" has blemished the feel of Pokemon having importance. It's like they don't even play Pokemon. They focused way too much on "searching for Pokemon" which they should know gets old real fast and the longevity in Pokemon games has always been developing your own Pokemon.
It wouldn't have been hard. It was all already there. They had the money, the people, the data. If they don't fix this, Go is going to fail.

>>25767392
They advertised a game where you can travel, catch, trade, train and battle like a Pokemon trainer but in the real world.
It didn't need anything but some Pokemon, even just 151, a google map with some Pokemon on it, a party and battle system. Even just the two attacks and a dodge is fine like they have already.
They didn't need to add CP, new evolution styles, "trainer levels", capture leveling-
Just let someone catch Pokemon and train them by battling.
I guess in a way it still will be, but it seems like they put a lot of effort into the wrong places like the direction just lost sight of what Iwata wanted. What people wanted.
>>
>>25767422
Lol no. After what I read from the beta apparently you can't even fight people 1v1. You leave Pokemon in areas and they fight off other trainers NPC Pokemon. I don't even think you actually see Pokemon battle.
>>
>>25767437
>They advertised a game where you can travel, catch, trade, train and battle like a Pokemon trainer but in the real world.
They didn't advertise anything about training.
Catching, training and battling however is there.
>>
>>25767438
Hopefully it's just because it's a closed beta so the pvp interaction is just closed off.
>>
>>25767449
>no training advertised
>what is battles and levels

It is in there. But in such a mediocre fashion. It's like people who don't play Pokemon made this, which is exactly what happened.
>>
>>25767030

I just can't understand why company like GF wasted moneys for something that will be weak shit... I mean... it shouldn't be hard for them to make good gps based pokemon game, it's should force us to actually moving our ass outside and travel around our town ect. we expected that they will set main games like in real life with actually good animations ect. good mechanic and seems we going to get garbage...
>>
>>25767463
>It's like people who don't play Pokemon made this, which is exactly what happened.
Do you know that this isn't a mainline game right?
Even if they did play pokemon there was no chance it could happen like that.
>>
>>25767466
It didn't need much at all. Like, pretty much a game where you just catch a team and battle others is better than this.
That's all GO had to be.
>>
>>25767438
Sounds boring as fuck. Methinks something must have gone wrong with funding after Niantic split from Google

Be honest, you knew it'd be bad the second you were told it was on phones. You might have wanted it to be good, but you knew it wouldn't turn out how you wanted.
>>
>>25767478
Yes I know that it isn't a mainline game. What I'm saying is that they're risking millions because of their lack of build testing.
And the fact that "it would've never happened like that" is bullshit, it's the most basic thing they could've possibly done.
>>
>>25767487
Not really, Shuffle for example is somewhat fun for a p2w pokémon game.

So far GO just seems utterly uninteresting and devoid of anything that could make it fun. It doesn't even feel like a pokémon game.
>>
>>25767270
This makes me wonder if people behind games like Go and all those failed Pokemon clones even understand why the series became such a massive success in the first place. Better yet, do folks at GameFreak do, considering Masuda also worked on this horseshit?
>>

they never were thinking about what they are actually doing... they just leaved hard mode, they started RUINING games because autistic childrens couldn't beat it, they ruined games by autistic storytelling and forced events and so on... eh... they are bunch of idiots and I hope someone will tell them about it...

I don't know, but it pisses me off. They clearly do know what people want because they advertise it for every game, including GO.
"Go on an adventure with your Pokemon to train, catch and battle"
That has always been the core of the games since Gen 1 and they don't even understand that? Someone needs to go there and tell them how to make a Pokemon game because they clearly don't seem to understand anymore. Or maybe only fans seem to understand this because they're the ones who actually enjoy Pokemon.
I'm salty af because every gen they seem to be getting worse. I thought they finally had it with Go.

>>
>>25767568
I've heard that you need to catch Pika like 5 times and get a thunderstone which is probably $0.99 to evolve it
>>
>>25767521
The hype was the idea that Pokemon would appear on a google map rendered game and you could catch and train them, and sometimes battle other people.
It's that simple. Anyone who wanted anything else was asking for too much. But they couldn't even do that.

Only "levelling" is done at Gyms to help fortify the gyms. Otherwise, it's the trainer that levels up, not the Pokémon.
>>
>>25767508
That's probably why GF tries not to change the formula of the main games. Some new stuff here and there, but everything is pretty much the same every gen.

Whether or not they know what makes pokémon popular, the current model has worked for 20 years and it's still selling like hotcakes, so they're probably smart enough to know they shouldn't change things too much, at least not to the point where it becomes almost unrecognizable, like GO.
>>
>>25767571
This entire board is underage b&
>>
>>25767579
The absolute most something like this could be is a journeyless game where you occasionally whip your phone out, throw some balls at a pokemon while being able to weaken it and then maybe battle someone else with a couple mons.

Even that's too much to ask for, considering nothing worthwhile's ever come out for phones.


>>25767584
Do you honestly think they'll change it? If they don't change it, it makes you play longer to evolve something, and they can use that time to try to sell microtransactions to you. I hate to sound pessimistic, but that's how stuff on phones is
>>
>>25767589
I've read all that. Which is why I'm mad. But it's clearly the fans fault for expecting the smallest of things.

Shuffle is great until you hit some inevitable wall that requires items you don't have. At which point the game might as well be over. Especially considering the levels where the drops are designed to not create combos. After that the game is just trash.

That's the worst way to make phone games. There are plenty of phone games out there that don't use these techniques, but obviously much more that do.
The fact that they might have put money above core gameplay will be their downfall because a good game will make them more money than a game built around making money.
Or that's what my naive game developer heart tells me. The fact that I also make games, so I have some experience on how they work, and they fall for the simplest developer pitfalls angers me.

Microtransactions is a hard thing to do right I suppose. They chose the right thing to do making this free to play, as it opens it up to a bigger audience, but it's understandable to add microtransactions to a game that cost them millions.
However, depriving gameplay, content and customer enjoyment just because they want to exploit people for money is just plain wrong.

What makes it even worse is that this gambling arcade payment has reached full priced AAA games. DLC with loads of content released a year later, sure, I'll pay 15 dollars for it. It increases longevity on a game the player has enjoyed.
But I can't believe you can buy "premium cash" on games that already cost the full price. Or preordered content. Or first day DLC. Season pass? As long as it's worth it and they plan on actually using it. Some games do this right, but the way the industry is heading is leading it down a dark path.
I've gone full /v/ but GO is proving to have examples of everything that is wrong about gaming. And I was excited for it.

I can't believe there were actually people who expected quality from a mobile game in the first place, just because something has Pokemon in the title doesn't mean you need to worship it

"Quality" was someone a student could make better than this. Mobile games can have quality, but people expecting the simplest thing from a multimillion dollar game is too much, right?

Which is why I don't get why people have already preordered Sun and Moon. Literally nothing has been announced other than the titles.

>>25767750
We at least know Sun and Moon are going to be mainline games and in some form be a new generation, that's enough for any Pokemon player to know they're going to buy it
>>
>>25767740
That's pretty much what it is. It is not just for PC gaming either. It's a "cheaper way to get all upcoming unreleased content at once" Some games include this with the preorder bonus if they're nice. Other games have completely over priced it, never released all the content or just didn't deliver content that was worth it at all.

>>25767787
This series has always been casual and easy as fuck, and dropping gameplay features has been a thing throughout the whole series because it's unrealistic for them bring back everything

XY made improvements where it actually mattered and the people who shitpost it are the minority
>>
>>25767901
That much has been obvious. It's more the fact that they're so adamant on keeping it casual regardless of the fact that people want it to be more difficult. If a game is hard, the player can get better. No one benefits from making a game easier, except for maybe something like shiny hunting.

XY did do a lot of improvements. It was one of the better games in improving the series. Trainer customization, full 3D, adding a battle mechanic like Mega evolutions to keep the meta fresh, and things like Amie and better wifi capabilities.
It's the execution that's upsetting. Adding trainer customization into a game, then removing it because "it was inspired by France". They keep certain features in certain regions just so people buy them.
Other things like keeping all of the games code in the demo of ORAS was amateur. That and their code appears sloppy anyway, with unused features and events just placed anywhere.
Their 3D is mediocre, with so many small things that could fully benefit the game like lowering the poly count or using LODs. The lag in battles is pretty embarrassing and you can barely use 3D for a game on the 3ds.
That and what appears to be their lack of providing a game that could be a truly polished, well immersed game because of bad direction.
I'm no expert at making games, and I understand that GF can't provide everything that fans want. Maybe I like Pokemon too much and it aggitates me seeing how much it could be and how little it is.

This. If you guys played Ingress you might be a bit more hype honestly.
You don't know the feeling of taking down a cluster of enemy portals by yourself.
You don't know the feeling of going to an anomaly with literally hundreds of allies to play for your team.
You don't know the feeling of having your portals attacked at 2 am by some nolifer toad or smurf.
You don't know the feeling of seeing a massive field go up as you coordinate with people around the world.
I've seen it all you guys, and I'm going to tell you right now that as soon as the first legendary event happens there will be hype beyond your expectations just from people meeting each other.

No, only the older audience doesn't want it casualized anymore, but I'd still argue that the majority of players are still kids or people who haven't been with the series long, though I can't see why they don't add difficulty modes. However, even if they made it more difficult it would still be easy to go through because Pokemon itself is easy. While I don't agree with everything Gamefreak does I can see why they do it, though sometimes I wish Satoshi Tajiri was still directing the games instead of slightly working on them. I pray that since it's the 20th anniversary and pretty much HIS SERIES(And Sugimori's) that he gets to direct Sun and Moon

well I don't care because if i had wanted to play Ingress I would have played it
but I wanted to play a Pokémon Game connected to the real world.
This is just a reskin I guess.
It wouldn't even have been so difficult to add pvp with some at least basic battling mechanic..
But nopee. Instead we get all that other crap I don't care for. Also shitty Art Direction.
Why did I even expect anything from this game-
Just another missed opportunity

If the trailer we did get reflects gameplay whatsoever it seems like everyone's working together to get that Mewtwo. I guess I went full idiot there because I like Ingress a bit too much, but even with these mechanics you can't deny that it would be hype to be working together in that big a group of people even if it was for something silly.
Besides, a bunch of people end up going out for a drink after anomalies, so if you collectively fail at least there's that

The whole concept of GO seems like something that cant go wrong regardless of what you do with it. When we were kids, we liked to pretend we could find pokemon hidden in different places, so this game could capitalize in evoking that feeling, right? And with the added bonus of being accessible to anyone with a phone.

It takes a special kind of retard to fuck up such a neat concept in every single way. Done properly, this shit would've been undoubtedly better than the shitty PokeMMO proposals we've gotten. I would've shelled out mad bux for this. I am legitimately mad right now.

This. It was so simple too. It was something people have wanted since they were kids and they messed it up.
A Pokemon game like Ingress isn't what people want.

That's a shame. Just read his opinions on it and it's exactly like mine. It seems to be the general response to this game.
Then there are people saying that "They made it this way so they wouldn't lose money on their main series" and "Why did people expect a full fledged game?"
No one expected a full fledged game. They just want to catch and train Pokemon. Battling 1v1 has always been inportant. Catching a Pokemon that will grow to be your best friend in your most intense battles was always important.
They messed that up.
>>
>>25772846
It's what Niantic and existing Ingress fans wanted. GameFreak having some of the latter is, again, what allowed this to happen.

That really makes me wonder who this game is really going to appeal to, though. Kids will download it and not play it for long because it's too different from what they and requires IRL exploration. Older pokefags already largely showed the gameplay is a major turnoff and won't bother with it in significant numbers. Ingress players will try it out of brand loyalty, and may or may not stick with it, but I have a hard time believing they'll be enough to sustain it long term.

This isn't a Candy Crush type thing like Shuffle is that has wide appeal and access, so how is this meant to really work out?
>>
Mfw im ok with this.

Its just beta

It just released, they'll patch kt

Itll be fixed in the sequel

>>25772177
nothing to do with the game. Ingress and parallel kingdom both have the same detection if you've got a phone newer than 2011, and parallel kingdom came out in like 2010.

the issue with GO (& ingress) is you need to physically move around to catch pokemon, and like 80% of the world is so open and spaced out that only japan and like maybe NYC will benefit from this.

I have this dark feeling in the pit of my stomach that kids are gonna start running in the middle of the street shouting "DUH MUH PIKACHU" and get run over by a car.

I'm not glad at all. Nintendo has this obsession lately with mobile bullshit. Every time I hear them talk, it's like they just want to make a phone. They want a console that interacts with your daily life. Newsflash nobody wants that shit. We just want games on a fucking normal platform. I honestly would rather they just go third party at this point.

You can't even grind for longer than a few minutes since you only have five hearts per 2.5 hours, so you need to carry your DS everywhere and whip it out several times a day to feed your addiction if you want to earn coins somewhat efficiently.

Shuffle is literally a game designed for addicts. It's not fun, it just motivates you to play more via the same methods as slot machines or Pachinko machines.
