I always laugh how they accidentally put Nidorina and Nidoqueen in the “No Eggs” egg group in Gen 2, and have neurodivergentally refused to change this for 9 generations.

I really like the concept of pokemon and tried to play the games multiple times but I stopped before even reaching halfway through. God those game are so mind numbingly boring. And the sad part is that there's potential for Nintendo to make all sorts of interesting games with this franchise instead of remaking the same game over and over. I would love a Luigi's Mansion type of game but with ghost pokemon

If they made the combat system like ni no kuni (the first one) did it would be a hit. Instead they still use this turn-based 1v1 shit.

It's the only 4 moves that you can spam over and over again that's killing me. And the fact that every single battle is the same, but with stronger or weaker pokemon that simply take different amount of spammed moves to defeat

Both of you are wrong. Pokemon's combat system is good, but the games are so easy you don't need to gain mastery and it feels shallow as a consequence. If you play a romhack designed to be difficult or hop on pokemon showdown, you'll realize how hard gamefreak is dumbing things down for children.

The games offer nothing in between the mashy snoozefest of the main story and getting demolished by tryhards online. Getting good is effectively a matter of looking things up and copying what other people do. And at that point you'll likely have thrown out many of your favorite Pokemon in favor of something that can win, and you won't be using "your" strategy.
My PVP experience is mostly with fighting games, but a well-designed fighting game is fun at multiple skill levels. You can enjoy it in different ways all the way from low rank to high rank, while learning alongside others. If someone tells me that a game becomes fun at high level but I don't find it fun now, I'm not going to think it's a good game.
Now in fairness a lot of these issues are caused by being an adult and the existence of online meta-knowledge. I'm sure kids still have fun playing against each other based on their incomplete knowledge of the systems, and having a friend-group that plays a game is usually more fun than fighting randoms online. I remember having fun with Pokemon as a kid, but I don't think it holds up after that.

Yeah, I started GG strive online pvp thinking it would be a complete sweatfest from the very bottom, but I read my abilities, made sure I could do the inputs at least like half the time, came in, and I was winning like 60% of my games at the lowest bracket because no one else knew what they were doing either.

Lately I've been playing Dragon Ball FighterZ ranked, and even for an older game I don't have trouble getting ranked matches with similarly skilled people. Scrub metas are fun because everyone has practiced different aspects of the game. You'll discover scrub killer strategies and fall victim to completely different ones, and it's usually pretty obvious why you lost. Even if many tactics have objective counters at a high level, there's still practice and execution, and choices about what to work on.
I think that turn-based games are best paired with extremely incomplete knowledge, so there's still that process of slow discovery and iteration. Traditionally, you could just design a highly complex system to guarantee that everyone would have incomplete knowledge. But games like chess (or Pokemon) can't always hold up to the internet, computer analysis, etc. Looking stuff up can easily replace practice and experience.
There are obviously some basic fixes Pokemon could use. Adding a full 6v6 ranked mode would be helpful. As would creating more NPCs who use viable teams to teach competitive principles (maybe even add a feature that lets you borrow them?). But in the long term, turn-based game creators need ways to create ambiguous scenarios that reward overall system knowledge and can't be Googled. In chess, people have experimented with randomized starts. In MTG there are tournament formats where you build a deck on the spot. I'm not sure if anything like that could gel with Pokemon, and I'm sure most fans want to keep things the same. But I don't think developers should strive to emulate stuff like Pokemon (or chess).

The combat system might work at the very high end where people have access to tons of bullshit but the combat system absolutely doesn't work in progressing through the game, that's why it's dumbed down so you don't have to actually interact with it.

USUM was a lot of fun for shiny hunting but they really turned off the replayability by adding an additional 5 hours of cutscenes to an already slow game.
I know I'm a boomer and already lost the battle here, but RBY and GSC were the best games by virtue of only 5 minutes of dialogue in the whole 4 hour games.

God Eater and Toukiden are decent games even if significantly inferior (I played through all of GE2, it's pretty fun). Wild hearts had potential but sucked in the end.
Dauntless... it never even began. Holy shit dauntless is such a shit game it's unreal that people were ever talking about it. It's not even bad compared to monster hunter, it's just straight garbage. How do you fail at making weapons and combat interesting when that's half the point of the game?

I've tried all 3 GE and 2 Toukiden and I completely disagree, they're bad and boring. No weight and all you do is just bash on a monster for a few minutes without a care in the world. Actually enjoyed Wild Hearts more than any of those despite the horrible performance.

only new one i like is the ultra sun/ultra moon. a lot harder, has a good story, everything is nicely designed. my only problem with games after gen6 is they have one new MEGA SUPER ULTRA RARE MOVE/"EVOLUTION" and its usually stupid as shit. the mega pokemon in gen 6 were nice because they had a good use, were actually redesigned, and werent overpowered. the z-moves in gen7 were a bit lazy, but not that bad since you still had to take the time to get the crystals. starting in gen8 everything just went to the gutter. pokemon get BIG!!!!!
pokemon have MOVES but theyre all the SAME!!! 
pokemon become BIG CRYSTAL and CHANGE TYPE!! (which is also stupid and overpowered and goes against any other plot etc..)
i mean as long as the new game isnt stealing copyrights theres no reason to be bitching
