Was anyone else kind of disappointed in the Pokemon presents? (kbin.social)

I was hoping for something new, like a new pmd or Legends, or another new spinoff entirely, but we got literally nothing new. We got detective Pikachu release date, a couple events for the mobile games, and dlc we already knew about. The applin and duraludon evos are great, don't get me wrong, but I really wanted something new, ya know?

Sorry if I'm a bit of a downer, just wanted to see what others were thinking.

I mean Pokemon fan games have been the absolute savior of the series for me recently. Uranium, Insurgence, XenoVerse, Infinite Fusion, and most recently Flux have all been amazing, and I cannot wait for swirling seasons!.

Monster Sanctuary was very apparently made with a lot of love and care, but I couldn't quite make it through the tutorial. I don't blame the game as I was in a funk at the time, I'll have to give it another go after baldurs gate is done devouring my soul.

Haha, I totally get it. I had the same experience with Cassette Beasts. Like I love the mechanics and music and a lot of the monster designs I’ve seen, but after 5 hours I was done with it. Not sure why considering all my friends think it’s the best thing ever.

Infinite Fusion is another one they all love, but I couldn’t really get into. I loved Insurgence when I played it like 8 years ago. Radical Red was very enjoyable too but I did a lot of save scumming lol

Yeah I can see not liking them. Infinite Fusion is the Kanto story again for the umpteenth time, the fusions made it for me, and the built in challenges was cool, but I could absolutely see not being interested.

If you want that traditional Pokemon experience, Flux or XenoVerse might come the closest even with Flux not having the standard gym challenge.

Insurgence is the formula witha darker tone
