Right now you are reading the eighth article of an idea that has been baptized as Short footage in which, in a brief text, I will talk about topics related to Nintendo and the world of video games in general with the intention of opening a debate about them.
At the end of 2019 was launched Pokémon Sword and Shield, the last installment of the saga Pokemon that, without being a bad game, it can take as a reference for the future the excellent work he did Square enix with Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of a Lost Past. This is a turn-based role-playing video game with a very good story and an open world divided by loading screens in which you are the chosen one.
On the other hand, Pokémon Sword and Shield It's a turn-based role-playing game with a story that makes many of them poor and an open world in some areas where you have to become the best coach. The basis is similar in both franchises, so establishing a comparison is not far-fetched.
I personally believe that Game freak I should take an example of this game because it does everything Pokemon It does not so well. The story of Dragon Quest XI S is far superior to that of this Pokémon delivery in general, and although I don't ask for it to last more than 50 hours, yes they could take into account maturational aspects of the plot. Another section that I think they should focus on, more than any other, is exploration. In the eleventh installment of the Japanese role-playing series, the feeling of discovering something completely new is almost constant, while in Pokémon we can find some situations that feel somewhat artificial.
The last section that I am going to mention today is the technician, since, although Pokemon it doesn't look bad, it leaves a lot to be desired compared to other exclusive ones Nintendo Switch. In Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of a Lost Past You see each enemy roam the area where you are (except for the sea, where the fighting is random), the vegetation reacts at your pace and the title looks really good on Nintendo Switch. I'm aware of Game freak It has very strict dates because the game has to go hand in hand with the series and other marketing issues, but I think Nintendo would have to do something to increase the level of quality of the product in general without it being bad right now but Yes, it can be improved.
What do you think? Should Nintendo convince The Pokémon Company so that they leave more time for the workers of Game freak Or do you prefer the semi-annual regularity of the franchise? Leave us what you think in the comments!
