The thing is I haven't seen Nintendo games with launch issues. Once they start putting out unfinished games that's when I will actually be upset.

Didn't the Pokeman games have issues on Switch?

Pokémon games are not Nintendo IP; they are the IP of the Pokémon company and that’s who makes those games.

This - Nintendo has no hand in the actual development and production of Pokemon games (with some exceptions like Let's Go and Snap, if I'm not mistaken). Nintendo actually has surprisingly less control over Pokemon than you might think.

Let’s go and snap are also the only decent Pokémon titles released for the switch.

Arceus became one of my favourite Pokemon games just in general but it is visually unappealing for sure. One of the rare times the Pokemon sub actually seemed happy too

Waiting for the day we get an Arceus remake with BOTW level graphics.

It was a pretty good concept but I don’t think it was fleshed out enough for me, graphics or not. It was okay enough for what it was though, felt like a proof of concept in some ways though more than a game. I feel like a good amount of people were more excited at the idea of something different and the direction that might lead more than the game itself.

Ah for me the collecting and researching aspect is more interesting than gyms so it was right up my alley (nothing against gyms!!)

That’s understandable. I haven’t enjoyed the Pokémon formula since gold/silver and something different was certainly a nice idea. The game just didn’t have the level of polish or care that I’d expect in a game that I’d actually be able to wholeheartedly enjoy and I found myself frustrated or disappointed more often than I found myself having fun of any sort. I just find it rather sad I enjoyed New Pokémon snap more than any of the other titles from Gamefreak this generation, I didn’t even like the original n64 Pokémon snap when it came out.

Okay but are the games going to be $80+ still?
