Renz? Yes. That's My Name.

Ummm.. Thanks, but no. The difference between this and with the #ReleaseTheSnyderCut movement is that JL changed its director during its production. The change in tone and story, reshoots, etc. were done according to the new director, which is Joss Whedon. A very different case with Suicude Squad. This team had the chance to make this movie great before releasing.

(But I though that they will make Joker the final villain of the movie instead of Enchantress.)

But what's been done is done. Lets move on and see what James Gunn's Suicide Squad will look like.

I remember back then when I am anxiously waiting for every news about Breathe of the Wild since it was first teased in 2014. Then it was delayed to 2016 from its original release date of 2015. Then delayed again for a 2017 release date. I was mad and furious! I bought a Wii U just for that game back in 2014 (but still worth it because of its amazing and underrated game library).

I bought the game the first day it was released along with a Nintendo Switch to have the best experience of the game. When I played it, I am in awe! I understand why they delayed the game, because Nintendo wants to give us the best Zelda game! You will feel the passion of the team that they put on to this game.

But for the case of Pokémon Sword and Shield, well. That is what I want to discuss here in my post.

Game Freak has been handling the mainline Pokémon game since its debut in 1996. But as they put out new versions of the game means that there is a new story, new region, and more Pokémon are being added to its massive library. So I understand that the development of newer versions will be longer. But they are still hitting their target dates though you will feel something is missing in recent versions (e.g., Power Plant and how Zygarde was handled in X/Y, released a more complete version of Sun and Moon in the form of US/UM months after). I feel like they want to hit their target release date, regardless of what features they will drop.

Game Freak always does this in every generations they released. They drop features from previous version to compensate time. Instead of stacking these features to have the ultimate versions each generation, they will drop it instead.

In case of Sword and Shield, they dropped Mega Evolution, Z moves and some of the Pokémon (crazy, right?!) from previous generation and replaced it with Dynamax (where Pokémon grows massively and looks like a raid battle in Pokémon Go). Instead of influencing Pokémon Go with mainline game, it's the other way around.

Just imagine it, Game Freak will delay the game, but all of the features that were introduced in the previous version will be there. It will also have better animation, better frame rate/performance, and complete library of Pokémon (National Dex). Would you wait? Me? I've been there, done that! I'll wait all you want, Game Freak. Just give us the best Pokémon mainline game.

What is sad is whatever they release, no matter its quality, will be successful in sales.

If this keeps happening, do you think Pokémon should replace Game Freak? Me, I'm excited with the idea. I imagine Monolith Soft could do a great job. Their team is amazing. They helped with the development of Breathe of the Wild. They are also known for developing massive games like Xenoblade Chronicles series. If Pokémon won't drop Game Freak, they could do what Nintendo did with Breathe of the Wild and get help from other studio. What studio do you think fits with Game Freak?

Right now, let's just wait patiently for Game Freak's announcement. I know that they already know the outrage of fans when they told that not all Pokémon will be in the new versions. I can endure dropping features, but removing Pokémon?!

Damn. The chance of catching Pokémon in the Let's Go game is pretty random. Even if you feed a Pokémon with a Golden Razz Berry and hitting it with an Excellent throw feels like you still have a low chance of catch rate. I experienced a lot of this kind of scenario, consecutively.

I really hope this catching mechanic won't return to future Pokémon games. But I doubt it because of the good sales of the recent Let's Go game.
