I am playing Pokemon Violet at the moment and it is a total bore. I have played the game so many times and I just want to run around catch Pokemon and battle.

I do not need another tutorial about what a Pokemon center is. Or a tutorial to tell me that I need to use a Pokeball to catch a Pokemon.

Can we get a "I've played this game 100 times" mode where it just saves the tutorials and lets us play the game?

For me, Pokemon has become more about romhacks/fangames than official releases. I still love the property, but the product Nintendo is providing at this point just isn't something I'm all that interested in.

...although credit where credit is due, Legends Arceus and Scarlett/Violet did attempt to innovate with the open world stuff. The results of that were also...not for me, but credit there.

Thread reminds me that I need to finish Pokemon Unbound. I have a bad tendency to start new hacks before finishing the ones I started haha.

Unbound is great! Also I have to mention Pokemon Emerald Rogue. Probably my favorite thing to play on my phone, and favorite pokemon experience

Honestly, though Legends Arceus wasn't like groundbreaking or anything, it's embarrassing how much more fun it was to me than SV considering one was supposed to be the mainline attempt...

Romhacks are mostly what I stick to now as well. I haven't really gotten into it but it's insane how the community has come together for Pokemon Fusion to make SO many custom sprites.
