CONFIRMED: Pokémon Sword/Shield Dropped GTS; Contains Multiplayer Code From Let's Go
- Thread starter Caz
- Start date
Yep. If it's too good to be true, chances are it was hacked.
Unfinished is a lot more charitable than "shoddy," "bad," "cheap," or "unacceptable" but if you prefer one of those we can do that instead.
Pokemon fans are something else. Any other company would be called out immediately after all this shit, but gamefreak and the pokemon company gets the free pass.
I'm at a loss. GTS was fantastic for collecting rare Pokémon to finish the Dex, and they've put a ton of work into improving it - I remember when you had to go to Jubilife City to access it, you could only request seen Pokémon, and you couldn't filter out requests for legendaries. I have no idea what Game Freak is thinking with this move.
Gamefreak is flat out releasing an unfinished game people.
The benefit of the doubt phase should be over. They should be criticized as harshly as Bethesda or EA for this.
Oh no... This is awful.
It's clear this needs way more time. Yearly releases just do not work for gamefreak anymore.
People are going to be in for a rude awakening if they legitimately expect that Home will have GTS, and not be a glorified Pokemon Bank reskin.
Of course, how couldn't I have thought of that? Vision-disabilities are very prominent among young children in the UK, and we should thank Game Freak for being so inclusive of these poor folks.
I mean, if you want to say they look bad, I agree, but to say the game is unfinished just makes you look like just another salty #Bringbackthenational Pokedex fanboy.
I'm deeply sorry for the GF team, but...man, people really chose a bad hashtag for this. I sincerely thought it was ironic.
Anyway, I really can't believe there's no GTS. I'm sure there must be an equivalent. It was the best thing that came out from the DS games.

Don't worry, just buy Super Sword and Super Shield next year.
I still just can't believe they removed it. They removed the main way people trade.
All so they can (likely) put it into Home to force people to subscribe.
It's just so shady.

Wait but aren't the people calling out the bullshit being called the toxic pokemon fans?
All I have to say is thank god I only give a shit about the breeding battle/side of the series, I'd be super burned out about pretty much everything else
And again, these are just the one's I can post that are not spoilery. It's much much worse.
I was there for BRAWL, and then Smash 4's almost complete removal of any meaningful single player. You better believe there were people saying the previous game was "too complex" for them as if any casual player ever cared.
On its own, it doesn't. It simply means it's VERY poorly optimized to the point where they clearly had to make sure there were never too many models on-screen at once or else the performance would suffer. However, when combined with certain other issues present in the game it paints a pretty clear picture that the game needed more time and was rushed out the door before it was ready. Like how many plot-critical battles don't even have legitimate battle backgrounds. The fights just take place in an empty void. Or you can be on a bridge in the middle of the city and then when the battle starts, the surroundings are as if you're out in the middle of an empty field in the Wild Area.

Gamefreak, why? How could you ship this for the first Pokemon on Console?
Dear lord you're actually going there. I didn't think it was possible that this would get the "well I didn't use it so it's ok to get rid of" defense but here we are.
Also love the logic of "it makes money therefore the complaints are wrong." The Transformers movies are high art.
I'm happy we have dataminers to save us the $60 by showing us all the shit gamefreak kept under wraps.
These guys know what they are doing, it's not the first time they datamine pokemon games.
Its like Xenoblade 1 levels of pop-in. But that game was pushing the Wii to its limit though...
I think Diamond and Pearl and X and Y were unfinished. First games of a generation feeling unfinished is nothing new. I also feel like Wind Waker is unfinished, but I like it. I don't think calling something unfinished is the worst possible criticism ever.
So then maybe lots of people angry at this should stop acting like immature children when presenting their points?
I have to be missing the /s, right? There's no way you're actually claiming that GameFreak is doing us a big favor by removing a way to easily trade Pokémon, right?
Well, at least one person got it. Just was using the official response to why EXP share being always on is now the only way to play.
That's an unfortunate shame. Presumably there is still some trade system and I can arrange something via Reddit.
I haven't tried trading in Let's Go Pikachu but I did see a passcode trade system in place so I hope at least that returns.
I think it's more out of jealousy that it was trending with genuine positive intent but those that were unhappy with the game were also unhappy with this tag trending. As a result those individuals are trying to co-op the hashtag and turn into something else.
See the locked thread about this. Ironically that thread got locked because people wanted to barge in and derail a thread that for once was about being positive and thanking developers in an industry that's known for toxicity.

The DP remakes will have less Pokemon than the originals.
Lack of single player content is one of the biggest complaints with Smash 4 though. I don't think most people said "I'm glad they cut the Subspace Emissary and replaced it with nothing," even if they didn't like SSE.
But this isn't a Smash thread, so I'll avoid that diversion.
They still have a Wonder Trade equivalent, just renamed. I guess we should have not assumed there more more trading features than we saw in the Y-Comm menu
It's just so hard to tell nowadays. I can see people legit saying that
