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?

Honestly I wonder what was appealing about pokemon games when I was a child. They have boring gameplay and every single game is the exact same.

What was fun as a kid was battling. My friend and I would hang out for a day, start a run of Pokemon emerald or diamond/pearl, and meet back the next weekend to battle

Yes this is precisely where my pokemon nostalgia comes from

Did you get into any other jrpg games back then? Maybe it was just not the genre for you.

That’s a good point, it’s not my genre I think.

My wife thinks that genre is boring because nothing happens. But her friend came over the other night and we just talked about our favorite jrpgs.

As kids we were highly competitive and addicted to dopamine. Pokemon covers both.
