I am playing Pokemon Violet at the moment and it is a total bore. I have played the game so many times and I just want to run around catch Pokemon and battle.
I do not need another tutorial about what a Pokemon center is. Or a tutorial to tell me that I need to use a Pokeball to catch a Pokemon.
Can we get a “I’ve played this game 100 times” mode where it just saves the tutorials and lets us play the game?
What ruined SV for me wasn’t the hand-holding but rather how dead the game felt after endgame.
You cannot re-challenge the Elite Four and the only endgame activity is the Academy Ace Tournament where you’ll stomp everybody.
A good tip for anybody going into Gen 9, don’t pick Quaxly (the water starter) because their moveset sucks. Meowscarada literally gets Gen 1 Razor Leaf as their signature move while Skeledirge gets a fire move that scales in power on each use. Compare this to Quaquaval which only gets speed boosts…
All there was to really do after you beat the game was to do the limited time raids, breeding if you want to max stats (which if you aren’t doing competitive is not really worth the effort), or play competitive. And none of those actually took place in the open world they built. Felt like a bit of a waste
