Modern Pokemon games hold your hand too much. (beehaw.org)

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?

I think issue is Pokémon games are still made primarily for children with age between 6 to 12. There are a lot of older people who grow up with it and some of them righteous feel like they are left behind.

If that were the issue, the older games wouldn't be more fun than the newer ones, but they are.

I personally agree that they are, but I recognize that that's nostalgia. My 11 year-old's favorite is Sword/Shield. He tried some of the older ones but couldn't get into them. I think the oldest one he's enjoyed was X/Y.
