That's a really good point that I forgot to consider. I've even started to play Go recently and I can't definitely see how more space would be a godsend

Shoot that reminds me that I have to renew my Bank subscription this month.
Wish Nintendo and Game Freak knew about automatic renewals cause I have to manually renew my subscription each year for Bank.

He does know that GO -> Home is one way, right? You can't get stuff out of HOME and into GO
Nope
I believe that the knockoff game only features something like 60 or so Pokemon and each only has a single Special Move + Basic moves.
Considering the move sets of each individual Pokemon + the number of Pokemon there are I don't think they are exactly comparable.
And the actual games have to, you know, make a whole actual game besides battles
The basic moves still make contact or at least aren't a model rotated 45 degrees.
If he turns out to be too friendly then we have a re-skin quite literally lol.
I'm still not convinced on the new designs, we've only seen about 10 or so mons and barely any final evolutions. Really wanna see the starter's final forms.
So what is supposed to happen to Pokemon Bank now? I have some Pokemon + their descendants on there that are 15 years old and I would hate to not have them anymore.
Will home replace it?
Will Bank still be useful for the portable games?

HOME replaces it but Bank will still be used for the 3DS games. Transferring Bank to HOME is one way
looks like a cheap version of Pokemon Masters tbh
At least Ash finally got to star in a game lol
It does look cheap, it's a chinese knockoff but the effort in some animation and Blastoise shooting from it's cannons is nice.
I... would not call that incredible. They're pretty basic and bland looking.
so comparable to sword and shield
lmao. I think the soulless eyes and expression is what makes it so funny to me. Like he's wearing a big mascot costume mask.

But how many players have gotten non regional dex Pokémon through GTS / Wonder Trade in XY / ORAS / SM / USUM even if they themselves didn't import them from Bank? I think that's the real question.
Also, maybe not many players keep their Bank accounts alive, but maybe many people just paid once and brought in all of their Pokémon. At least that's what I do with every generation lol
Dunno! It's a fair question. If you mean the casual players I know from what I've seen they just play through the game to the end and make use of whatever Pokemon they come across. Be it through the wild or GTS or Wonder Trade or whatever. But I haven't seen them transfer Pokemon or get annoyed when they can't obtain a specific species.
Wider than that though I would have no way of knowing. Hopefully Sw/Sh has a large pool of available mons
If you don't pay the bank fees regularly your pokemon get deleted.
They probably moved it all to the SuMo and USUM games. Hopefully they were able to fit them all in since the games have a smaller box number.
I think I've let it lapse for over a year before and kept all of them. I could be wrong tho as my sense of time is garbage.
1. Why patch in missing Pokemon when you can get the userbase to pay $60 for them in the next game a year later? Then make them pay another $60 a year after that to use more Pokemon that aren't in the games while removing some that were in previous games since they won't "fit the region theme".
2. One thing I do wonder is if they could not bring over the animations from the 3DS games, how did they get them so quickly to LGPE? They did all the Kanto Pokemon, their Mega Evolutions and Alolan variants for the Switch. Makes me wonder why they couldn't make it to SwSh.
Yo, I'm glad someone put up this video again. At some point it was wiped/hidden from the official channel.
This is sorta why I subscribe to the "Leon is a fraud" theory, despite being the champion, he's not actually the good trainer he says he is and someone behind the screens (*Cough* Chairman Rose *Cough*) is manipulating battles for publicity reasons or some other sinister motive.
Mainly I rather the champion's signature pokemon is from the Galar Region. Wasn't a fan of Diantha and wasn't a fan of Bird Keeper Lance primarily because of this.
Yeah I told him about that and the other feature like eventually being able to trade from Home and possibly other mini games or battles coming to it.
He is excited for it all the same just for the storage and possible trading alone.
I'm not 100% on board myself. I don't rate a entire line individually, I judge each line as a whole including their base stats for the final evo. I may like all three starter designs as of now but once I see their final evolutions and base stats that opinion might change.
The same goes for RolyColy. I'm hoping he turns out well.
You didn't get your username from Richie's Charmander who he nicknamed Zippo?
Not bad for a beta. Quick animations yet very expressive. Some fainting animations seem undone given some faint then disappear while others just disappear.
Usually, yeah.
Last gen, some Pokemon were introduced with their final evolutions first, like Bewear and Mudsdale, and then a bunch were shown later like Tsareena and Ribombee. All of the starters had their final forms shown before launch too.
Hau 2.0
I don't think this is the same. These are the same characters doing the same things in a fighting game series. It's a little more shameless when you have the rival character of this new game using the same animation as the rival from the old game. Like it's not even the same character. If it was literally Hau, I don't think people would mind that he had the same animation.
I swear most Pokemon had already been revealed by release last time.
Lmao, they didn't say they were cutting characters and stuff to focus on animations and balance in Ultimate. In fact, they did the opposite.
It varies. Some people have said that they lost their Pokemon weeks after their Bank subscription expired. Some have said that they spent months without a subscription and when they resubscribed, their Pokemon were still there waiting.
Smash is notorious for cutting modes and characters people adored tbh
I'm not denying that at all, but their excuses aren't the same.
Didn't Sakurai say not to expect all characters to return in the next one though, that the Everyone Is Here thing won't happen again
The big cuts in Smash happened specifically when Sakurai actually went for a big animation revamp between Melee and Brawl (heavily changing characters like Falco and Ganondorf to give them unique animations rather straight up reusing 95% of Fox's and C.Falcon's like in Melee while removing all remaining melee clones) and afterwards hardware reasons though (Ice Climbers and transformations eliminated from the Smash Wii U/3ds games due to the 3ds) alongside licensing for Snake.
Smash has to deal with lots of third party licensing by now though. It's really obvious they wouldn't bring back everyone if only for licensing costs.
I'm not talking about games that don't exist yet, I'm talking about Pokemon Seord and Shield reusing animations compared to Smash Ultimate (a game that has multiple things impacting development such as character rights and franchise popularity when selecting characters) reusing animations like that other person was.
Smash characters also require a lot more money to create, as well as voice acting costs, third-party character costs, etc.
Yeah there are reasons, but it still sucked. It wasn't just the characters though when content like trophies and stadium modes just seem lost until they really do a huge roster cut, which sounds like its happening after Ultimate.
They give a grace period once lapse. I know I lost my pokemon since my NNID was banned on the 3ds back when Sun came out because I played my actual physical copy early. :/ All that work. Gone. Once that happened, I haven't touched pokemon since. I was hoping for SwSh to get back all the pokemon until this stupid shit of dexit occurred... >.>
From what I've seen people who lost their Pokemon after a few weeks lost them for some other reason.
So joker doing shieks up air and similar would be a better example/ animation reuse is pretty much done in the animation industry to save time. It bugs the hell out of me when people go thats so lazy
At least Sakurai is telling us about not expecting every character returning now rather than a month after a new Smash is announced.
I don't really care about the move animations all that much, what I think really stinks is that Pokemon have super boring idle animations and the fact that we have walking animations for every Pokemon but if the very accurate leak is to be believed, we don't get following Pokemon or ride Pokemon back.
Is riding confirmed gone? I can see following pokemon not coming because the amie/camp thing is probably what they wanted players to use to interact with mons. I can agree with the boring idles i wish they were at least in movement even if its just a basic loop
... I can't believe someone pulled Smash into the discussion when Smash had other reasons, actually did a lot of changes to the games to stay modern and now delivered with Ultimate on basically every aspect, and then defends Game Freak in every thread possible lmao.
The Pokemon series basically lives of its name alone at this point the games fail to deliver the aspect of being one if not the biggest gaming franchise.
The games only evolved slowly and now they are too cautious to stray from their formula eventhough you could still deliver a story/narrative driven Pokemon Game with actually good animations with anchor points, Characters that show emotions and soul while talking, in their formula on console if they took their time or.. gave it to a more competent dev.
I know these are repeated claims and talking points usually spouted by haters, but I grew up with Pokemon and after Let's Go (which I liked as a casual side game) I expected more for the switch and am sad how something so dear to me never really becomes what it could be.
