You've got to be joking. Pokemon has better writing then planescape torment or "endcap of airport fantasy shelf" writing?

This isn't a mistake I'm making. Less writing isn't better writing and more writing isn't better writing either. I think you're one of those people who just likes things extremely plain. Basic text that's less wordy is usually an example of bad writing imo. This kind of writing is good for research papers but for stories it's not a good thing.

Anyway here's an example of the "good writing" you're talking about in pokemon:

Most people would disagree with you and agree with me. All the writing in there is pure garbage. I don't understand how you can call that "good" other then if you have a preference for simple sentences.

Simple sentences are great for simple ideas. Most video games, including most RPGs, only have simple ideas.

You appear to have linked to an anime. We’re discussing video games.

The anime is called Pokemon. This is the source material for which all the Pokemon games are derived from and strive to imitate in style.

Any writing in a video game on Pokemon is equivalent (or worse) in quality and style to the original anime which all Pokemon games are based on.

>Simple sentences are great for simple ideas. Most video games, including most RPGs, only have simple ideas.

Writing isn't only about ideas. That's what research is about. Presenting facts, figures, results and ideas. For stories there needs to more irrational fluff. The writing needs to be immersive, emotive and vivid, eloquent, etc. Most people would agree with me on this matter.

I would say you're the one who has a different preference here.

Pokemon is an anime. Video games and the card game are derivatives of the anime.

I linked to the anime as an example of the writing to prove you wrong. The anime is childish and the games reflect that in the writing.

Maybe you're too young to know this. The anime just had its last episode 2023. It's been around for 25 years. Or maybe you're trolling. Pikachu is literally in that video. The information is quite obvious.
