RetroKid+FollowAnyone Else Miss Classic Linear Pokémon Progression?Don’t get me wrong—I really enjoy the open world in Scarlet & Violet and how much freedom Legends Arceus gave us. But sometimes I find myself missing the old-school linear Pokémon journey. There was something special about the set routes, the sense of building anticipation for each gym, and that feeling when you walked into a new town or cave, not knowing what was around the corner. In the latest games, you can run off, catch a high-level Pokémon way early, and the whole map is basically open from the jump. It’s awesome for exploring, but I kind of miss those moments where you’d wonder “What’s in the next patch of grass?” or be forced to actually use what you caught on each route. It gave the adventure a different kind of magic and challenge. I’m hoping future games find a way to balance both—keep the freedom, but maybe add more of that classic structure too. #Pokemon #GameFreak #PokemonScarletViolet #PokemonLegends #Nintendo #NintendoSwitch2 10Share
Eric Stevens+FollowSekiro Meets Pokémon? Game Freak’s Bold MoveGame Freak just dropped a bombshell: Beast of Reincarnation, an action RPG that feels like Sekiro and Nier had a post-apocalyptic lovechild. Instead of catching creatures, you’re surviving with your wolf companion in a world overrun by corrupted automatons and monstrous flora. Is this the reinvention Game Freak needs, or are they straying too far from their roots? Would you play a high-stakes, parry-heavy RPG from the Pokémon creators? Let’s debate! #GameFreak #BeastOfReincarnation #ActionRPG #Games00Share
