These games should way less than this to begin with. If you have been following reviews, its glitched out the kazoo, they also made it so all your pokemon gain experience even if they didn't participate, and its missing content from the original. You're essentially buying a game that is over 10 years old, with less content, and more broken than the original... just my 2 cents

Quote from denzeler27 :
Obviously you have not been reading reviews because there are quite a few people getting soft locked in certain parts of games requiring a full story reset. This is a game for kids, no doubt about it, the reality is though that there is a hugeeee fanbase in their 20s like myself, who grew up on these games and the remakes are garbage. Nintendo is following the footsteps of other developers and half baking games for a cash grab. In the perfect world no one would support this game for that reason alone. My opinion won't stop anyone from buying for their kid, but honestly this is a ripoff for $50. I could even argue that shared exp makes the game 6x shorter than the original if you were to factor in leveling up Pokémon individually to 100 which is what made the game so fun. So everything aside, nostalgia, broken content etc, ask yourself this, is $50 worth a game 6x times shorter than the original?
6x times shorter, where did you get that? As a non-Pokemon/non-RPG fan, I'd rather have the shared XP. If longer playtime means immense grind, I'm going to pass.

As for the soft-locks, yes I heard about that, but how often does this really happen?

Long story short, if you don't like the games, that's fair. But no, they're not garbage and $50 is not a ripoff. Calm down.

I had a 40% off up to $40 coupon when using my Discover cash back on items shipped and sold by Amazon, which brought this down to about $30. Might be worth checking your account for!

Why are remakes worth $60?!?! They're remake of the original. I'm confused at the entertainment industry.

It's a remake, not a remaster. It's not like they just pressed a button, they still had people working on it for months. And it's a Pokemon game. It's already broken sale records in Japan, and I'm guessing that's just the beginning. It's easily going to sell millions.

I'm the biggest Pokemon fan. But I will not let that bias prevent me from giving an honest review of these games.

It's full of bugs. There are people speedrunning the game in an hour exploiting the bugs in the game.

Compared to other remakes, it seriously lacks features. The excuse they used was that they were faithful remakes. But when you actually play the games, they throw in characters from later generations which isn't faithful at all. What Nintendo isn't telling you is that these games were actually developed by a third party, not one of the two GameFreak dev teams that are usually involved in mainline releases. This is likely because those devs are likely working on Legends Arceus and Gen 9.

The graphics are pathetic compared to the 15yo NDS games they're remaking. The chibi overworld style is atrocious considering what the Let's Go series accomplished 3 years ago.

That's not to say you can't enjoy these games. But they definitely aren't worth more than $40.

Looks like the deal is dead, and GameStop was probably a glitch since it says you need to buy $100 to get $10 of now.

To how much? $9.99 because everyone can afford it?

In your opinion, is this anywhere good as HeartGold SoulSilver?

I have played Yellow/Gold/Crystal so many times as a kid, early teen and I greatly enjoyed it.

Now as an adult, I can't replicate the same feeling because not only these games are already too long but responsibilities are more than ever.

Grinding is not fun and this game has it. Let go eevee snd pikachu are more pleasant but feel semi hollow too.

Nope. HGSS are easily the best remakes in the franchise.

Good. More reason why the asking price nowadays are high. Lots of fake circulation out there PLUS lots of them are on hold as collection. Hard to find for cheap as $40 even so

Anyone want to help a mom out?

My 11 year old loves Pokemon, collects the cards, and we even still play Pokemon Go together. I was planning to buy either Sword or Shield for him for Xmas but now I'm wondering if it would be better to get him this?

Got him Let's Go Eevee last year and he enjoyed it but lost interest relatively quickly.
Quote from cjderp :
This is better than Sword/Shield IMO. It's a remake of a classic and well regarded Pokémon game with a decent story. Shield had some okay ideas but overall was pretty gimmicky and unmemorable. I think this is a much more fun game overall, but I'm sure he'd love whatever you get him! 😎

Now that I caught a few people who actually know what they are doing, I was hoping if you guys could help me. I got my son (11) Shield, and after less than 1 month he said he finished the game, is this correct? He plays about 5-6 hours a week, maybe extra hour or so on weekends. I think I can login to Nintendo to see how many hours he played, but he said he finished the game. Do you ever finish pokemon games? I thought they keep battling and fighting but my guess he beat enough battles that now its redundant?

He wants another game for christmas but he said the Pearl and Diamond are like Zelda Link's awakening, is that a bad thing?
So help this clueless dad out, do I buy him Pearl (or Diamond, if so which one) or offer something else but I don't think he wants anything else.
