Yeah, maybe they gave up on creating things that are original and don't look like they screwed up and went with it anyway.

Don't forget Diggersby, Vanilluxe, Pyukumuku, Swoobat, Mandibuzz, etc.

Why is Mandibuzz bad?

I love the graphics and I do enjoy the Pokemon world- but it would’ve been cool, if they’d involved all pokemon

The 3D pokemon games on the Gamecube released last decade had better character models than in these new games.

True. I just like that I can now play on my tv. Breaks it up a bit.

Cool. I will probably add you tomorrow. My username will be the same as my name here

I'd also say that the graphics are pretty subpar. The lack of voice acting in a $60 AAA gen 8 console game is also unacceptable, regardless of GF's bullshit excuses.

That said, to say something positive about SS, the Wild Area is pretty cool. Wandering around in there is the closest that any Pokémon game has come so far to feeling like the anime.

It's also really easy to train up Pokémon in SS.
