Pokémon Has No Respect for Your Time

I spend countless hours of my life playing Pokémon. While I love the series, I can't deny that sometimes the team put in some game mechanics that "pad out" player engagement. In this video we discuss what I feel is one of Gamefreak's worst additions to their games, the Soot Sack, which prompts the player to do nothing more interesting than walking back and forth with the promise of lackluster prizes. What is strange about how lame this is is that this is placed in Pokémon Emerald, a game chock full of other interesting game mechanics. These developers are fully capable of designing interesting and engaging gameplay. So why did the Soot Sack fall flat? Consider supporting my Patreon: https://patreon.com/JacksonFanelli?ut...
