which pokemon game is fastest?

WiWa seems to have SV encounter system instead of Legends.

>>59029191
the obnoxious 1s wait after every move is ridiculous, you would never hear the end of it if it was in an earlier game!

funnily enough SV is one of the fastest games

>>59029224
Unironically Gen 5 ore Gen 1
>>59029240
Slowest*

The game pauses inexplicably for like 3 seconds whenever you swap pokemon. :/

The inability to disable battle animations definitely pissed me off.

>the likely only reason they didn't bother programming the setting is because they didn't want to code a toggle to temporarily re-enable it for Tera Raid Dens which inherently rely on battle animations to dictate how much time you're wasting while the clock ticks down

>>59029245
No, it's genuinely one of the fastest.
Gen 8 was so much slower, especially BDSP.

How doomed is Gen Z from short form video if this is too slow now?

>>59029224
Gen 5. I went back to White to get a Kangaskhan so I could complete the Pokedex in Ultra Moon and I was shocked at much faster battles are than in Gen 7. I skipped the Switch games but I can only imagine how lethargic battles have gotten now.

>>59029698
At least BDSP is faster than Gen 4. The HP bar takes forever at a certain point.

Most people probably don't encounter glitches. Because they regret buying the game just a few minutes in and snap their copies in half.

Avoiding overleveling is impossible because in addition to forced team exp share, there's also catch experience, so you end up overleveled just from trying to fill out your Pokedex.

Seriously, why the FUCK haven't Gamefreak streamlined this dogshit battle system? Just because it's turn-based doesn't mean it needs to be so fucking slow. They're are JRPG's from the 80's that are faster than this, holy fucking shit.

>>59029191
Go play showdown you baby

>>59029191
That's exactly why

I seriously can't stand how many textboxes or slow animations there are in these games anymore, it's the number one thing bringing my experience down.
I don't even bother with strategy because status effects, buffing, healing, it all just takes so long.
They know it's a problem too. In the actual game there's a massive pause between multi hit moves but they editted it when making a trailer to not make the game look so bad

>>59071587

>>59029191
Let me break your brain and all the fanboy shitters. The battles aren't slow because of animations. They're slow because the game is SO utterly broken and incompetently made, that those are the loading times to perform a single move.

The animation times are a shit attempt to mask the load time. But if an animation stops early, the screen doesn't move on, it just waits there for like 5 seconds until the shit finally loads.

>>59029308
Thank you. Gaslighters pretending they don't even know what you're talking about in other threads. Maybe they're just barely sentient.

>>59050946
I'll kick your ass buddy.

The truth is, manbabies don't stop playing Pokémon. New kids start playing Pokémon. The playerbase will continue to grow because we don't ever fuck off while simultaneously every year, a new Timmy becomes sentient enough to own a Switch and play Pokeemens. Now you understand it.

>>59067195
WeeeeeeeeeeeeeWaaaaaaaaaaaah

>>59073724
Yes that would make the game run better if it had a native port or decomp but that doesn't mean the emulators run better.

>>59029233
They're trying to hide the loading screens. This game is a fucking DISASTER and you play as a 3 year old. Remember the people kissing its ass are why the next games will be shit.

>>59047787
Mature adults didn't play gen 4 because they were starting high school when it came out and were too embarrassed to keep playing Pokémon and too distracted by girls.

>>59076704
Only because gayfreak's gonna spend on marketing rather than development again

>>59029170

What? Legends games aside these are the faster battles ever because you don't have a transition into battle and shit, replaying other games for my national dex made me appreciate SV way more precisely for that.

>>59029170
'splains the user ratings

>>59078229
You transition between every move you use and every item you use and every time you switch Pokémon.

>>59078283

>>59081266
There was a thread the other day where someone wanted your character to be forced to have a party of characters like Hop that follow you around... People want to cram their other special interest game into Pokémon instead of just playing the other games which already cater to that niche.

oh good, it wasn't just me
Platinum feels like a marathon in comparison, jesus fuck. Can't run for 5 meters before your bike lizard stubs its toe on an oddish and the game has to painstakingly load the battle encounter. Play the game longer than 20 minutes and it starts moving like molasses. And every fucking turn has a teeth grinding, eye gouging, absolutely INSUFFERABLE delay between moves selected, moves executed, and ESPECIALLY moves that knock out a pokemon, playing the animations EVERY time.

this thing can rot in the deepest layer of hell.

Ironically enough DP is a faster game because you can alter text speeds, disable animations and have the option to change switch to set. Even at its worst, Pokemon then was infinitely faster than it is now.

Persona 5 has attack animations and that game has turn based battles that feel really quick

>>59029170
It's funny to see this sentiment when Pokémon Battle Revolution and the Colosseum games are way slower and at least the Colosseum games are praised as God's gift to mankind that Gamefreak could never replicate. You're lucky the Pokémon don't drunkenly stumble around before and after each attack like they do in those games. And the projectiles don't launch slow enough that you could probably walk out of the way.

I just got a physical copy of Scarlet, should I avoid updating it to take advantage of any glitches that got patched later? I hear there's a duplication glitch.

Because they know you'll buy it anyway, and because a large chunk of their audience actively hates RPGs that aren't Pokemon and refuse to play them, so they will always be ignorant of all the problems with GF's slop that the rest of the genre had already solved decades ago.

Imagine being retarded enough to impulse-buy Game Freak's known shovelware because a Koei Tecmo game in an entirely different genre was good. GF's skill at manipulating dents like you into opening your velcro wallets never fails to amaze.

These god damn games can't even get speedup, a feature in pokemon stadium, because god forbid you cut your 100 hour competitive grind down to 25-50. Think of the spergouts

Why can't it just be faster with the texts and animations. They're not gameboy games ffs. I might actually be willing to try doing something other than "push super effective move" like status effects or held items if I wasn't punished with long drawn-out animations for doing so

I feel the battle faster than the 3DS pokemon, I remember replaying both XY and SV and feeling XY being slow as fuck(not DP level of course)

>>59156555
Yeah, I don't get why there's a long pause with each action, also I'm not sure when they also added the pokemon yelling their cry and posing every time a pokemon enters and leaves the field, but that also adds up time.
