#and ofc pokemons fanbase is in shambles bc ppl are also being really dumb abt this game and swsh and saying the devs are lazy

im not defending but like people saying that pokemon scarlet and violet are on the same level as or worse than sonic 06 or even that “we have to apologize about sonic 06 because we’ve seen it can get worse″ make me feel like no one actually played either of these games because like. sonic 06 was literally near unplayable. saying this as someone who has played both and actually really likes both of these individual games and franchises btw

#like scarvi's performance and presentation is bad theres no way around that but when it comes to the gameplay itself #theres like a few softlocks and lag but other than that i personally didnt encounter anything like that #most of the glitches are aesthetic and while thats still bad it doesn't make the game unplayable #in the first level of sonic 06 i glitched off the rails several different times and im still trying to get through the game #bc its unbalanced and so buggy that its legitimately really difficult to progress #and its that on top of poor rendering and performance #also its ofc too early to see the effects but like. yall. the damage 06 did the fanbase and future games was atrocious #or like. the backlash did bc sega was like ''oh obviously it wasnt the crunch that was bad. it was the fact that it had a story and humans'' #and ofc pokemons fanbase is in shambles bc ppl are also being really dumb abt this game and swsh and saying the devs are lazy #but like. its nowhere near on the same scale as sonic 06 you guys. it just isnt #its apples and oranges like both play differently and have different issues #and i say this as someone who is an apologist for 06! i think it did really good things! it introduced silver and mephiles #a unique playstyle that isnt reliant on sonic's mechanics to work; an engaging story and a REALLY good character arc for shadow #and like despite the plotholes the story is really fun and i love how we see the same story but focused on individual character arcs #but like. to compare it to scarvi having performance issues is just not the same #echoed voice
