I absolutely cannot stand turn based gameplay anymore. However somewhere along the way, I lost any sense of motivation to play a turn based game. I adore the uniqueness of each town and the music track that goes along with it. From a more objective standpoint, I love the strategic aspect to fighting, the story-lines of these games, and the cool designs of the characters and Pokémon. Even though I don’t like playing them, I still appreciate a lot about the games. What happened to me? I used to find these games so fun. I rinse and repeat this until I get to the next town, if I even get that far. I don’t find the gameplay fun anymore, so I run around trying to avoid getting into battles, inevitably seeing a wild Pokemon, and then being forced to spam the “run away” option. Turn based gameplay is the opposite of fun for me.
Now, I wouldn’t be able to pick up a game for more than an hour without getting bored and frustrated. I would beat the main story, the elite four, the post game, collect all the Pokémon, hunt for shiny Pokémon, EV train, I would do it all. I think the best example of games I just can’t play anymore would be the Pokémon games. Now, I only play a select few games that come out each year, and sometimes I don’t even finish those. Unless the game was too hard for me as a child, I would always end up finishing games. I was heavily invested in every story I was playing, no matter how good or bad the gameplay was. When I was younger, I had no trouble plowing through game after game after game. Nowadays, it takes me forever to finish a book, and that disappoints me. I used to read nonstop, I would finish 1000 page books in 3 days. I had no trouble finding the motivation to read. This might be relatable to some, but do you remember when you were really young and you would read literally every book you could find? That was me as a kid.
Hell, I haven’t bought or played a Pokémon game in years. When they eventually do remake the game, I probably won’t buy it. While I understood the feeling and sympathized as a fellow fan of the Pokémon games, I couldn’t help but feel uninterested in a Gen 4 remake.
