With Gen 7 seemingly dropping the tile-based movement for good, do you think we'll see new and interesting replacements for this kind of stuff? Or are overworld/dungeon puzzles dead for good, replaced by bland corridors, meme dialog and "social elements"?

It's gonna be full on made for multiplayer with a half assed gimped campaign thrown in where you can't do anything without internet and Friend Codes.

I wish there'd be 3D platforming but GF is too incompetent to try that.

Gen 7 gyms all have quiz, switch, or invisible wall puzzles.
Kill me.

Why do we to have the same boring puzzle designs every single gen that's what i'm more concerned, they should come up with more creative things

>>26528379
I've never seen an overworld puzzle that I liked. Tile-based or not.
I think we'll be stuck with Cloister of Trials-esque puzzles at best, unless they introduce whole new gameplay mechanics.

I agree but honestly, I think I want every game to have really free movement. Not just Pokemon, but games in general. It feels so limiting.
I mean, you want me immersed? Let me jump, climb, swim, run, walk. Fuck, let me swim alongside my Pokemon instead of just riding it. Let me ride my Pokemon just walking around the map. Let my Fire Type carry me across lava, I dunno. There's so much cool shit you can think up to do with Pokemon and movement and environments.

Imagine the main games adopted more Overworld elements from pic related.

This is Game Freak we're talking about here, our primary concern should be stopping them from REMOVING features first, maybe once we've got that for a gen or two we can talk about the problem of actually adding good creative new features
baby steps, anon

That's reddit tier
>they should come up with more creative things
If only. The thing is that we are either stuck with slightly new puzzles using old tools, or nothing at all.

Agreed. Fuck ice dungeons.

c'mon anon

>>26531552
What? The actual maneuvering is fast and subtracting the time it takes to figure them out even the most explicit takes less than a minute.
Strength puzzles are the ones that are technically slow, and spin puzzles in gen I.

Pokemon puzzles were always shit.
