masuda is the reason behind this, he said he was tired of pokemon so hes going to make half-assed game going foward, that is the reason i never got a switch.
Comment on What’s the best written Pokémon game?

Sw/Sh were a real low point. They boiled the story down to “Let the adults handle it” and left you just running between gyms the entire game.
It’s honestly been too long since I’ve played the older games to judge their writing… but I did play Scarlet recently, and have to give props to Arven’s storyline. It is a shame the game is at Resident Evil 6 levels of unfocused, and brain-dead levels of easy.

I set Scarlett to be in Chinese because I assumed the story would be as forgettable as Sw/Sh’s and I’d get some easy practice just mashing yes on dialogues, but lo and behold it looks like there’s actual choices and stuff? I’m surprised at a mainline Pokémon game actually needing you to be able to read.

You cannot change a pokemon game’s language in the middle of a playthrough. This is because a breeding pair of Pokemon with different language origins have a higher chance to breed with each other (it’s supposed to motivate you to trade online).
If you wanna change your language, you’re gonna have to wipe your save and start over.

I don’t recall any choices that mattered. They are all fake choices like “Do you want to be rivals: yes/no” and choosing no just repeats the question.
I only singled out Arven because his character started out kind of bratty and my opinion of him flipped completely by the end of the game.

It’s the classroom quizzes I can’t do. My vocab does extend to “yes” and “no,” but the lessons are bit beyond my first grader knowledge of Chinese.

Is there any reward for the classroom stuff? I completely skipped it thinking it was all tutorial.
