While other series like Zelda and God of War are evolving and changing gaming, Pokémon keeps doing the same shit literally every year and getting free passes. Now it's even worse, they went back to 1998 because what's better than nostalgia pandering? It's a shame because they have a franchise that has a huge potential to innovate and do something different, but the developers are really incompetent. I feel bad because I was hyped for a console Pokémon game, but this is high level BS. Combining that with that leaked screenshot, it's lazy, it's gross.

Are you seriously trying to imply that BotW wasn't nostalgia pandering to Zelda 1?

Because it was.

..really?

The most recognizable callback to 1 was the opening shot that most people wouldn't pick up on cause it referrenced a picture in the manual.  The game's only similarity is the openness and even that isn't all that similar since Zelda 1 had a structured and fixed path of progression, it just didn't explain anything and left you to wander aimlessly vs BotW which is truly open ended.  Nearly every aspect is a departure from series norms.  To call it a nostigic pandering to fans of the first game is hyperbolic in the utmost extreme if not an outright falsehood.
