Haha yeah, you are not going to give 60 dollars to GF, but you are going to spend god knows how much on gacha... and your money still goes to GF. its so hilarious.
Brace for a literal bottle shaped like a dolphin. His nose is a bottle cap. That bottle nosed dolphin.I'm imagining a dolphin based on pink river dolphins. Psychic/water, and more on the "senses and affects emotions" end of psychic because I'm hack, and went with a pink heart theme:
The Fire/Fighting Meme never really made sense to me.
There have been 3 Fire/Fighting Starter lines, but there have also been 3 Pure Grass and 3 Pure Water Starter lines.
But i never saw anybody complaining that they will definitively make another pure Grass or Water line.
If anything, Fire has had it the best when it comes to types, with only one Generation having a full Single element line(that being gen 2, where every starters line is monotype),
Would people really have been happier if the Tepig line was pure fire, like the other starters there ?
The main issue isn't the typing, it's that's fire/fighting results in humanoid designs rather than various designs based on the starting animal. It's why Incineroar still gets complaints in spite of being dark/fire. If the leak is correct,
this starter likely will get the same complaints even though fire/fighting isn't its actual type.
Hating on anthropomorphic designs makes even less sense to me than repeat typing. At that point its 100% just character design preference and quickly goes into "but Pokemon should be more like real animals" nonsense.
The comparisons just doesn't work in my book so I ignore those comments as they're meant to trigger and are not worth it.
I've never bother with Digimon
In Shin Megami Tensei series the demons plays crucial roles within the games that it's not comparable to the Pokémon series.
Maybe it's just me, but I think fans deserve to know how many Pokemon (and which ones) are going to be in the game before spending $60.
I get it and if it turns out to be pure Fire Type I hope it's hidden ability boosts Fighting type moves like Dehlmise got STAB Steel Type moves because of its ability.
I'll accept this if he's like Luvdisc but for the Bottle Cap EV items as opposed to Heart Scales.
I'm interested to see what direction they go when we eventually get the fire sheep and fire cow.
They never give us the full list prior to release.
I have the feeling that they are going to create a ability that increases the power of the attacks that involve kicks. Stomp, Blaze Kick, Mega Kick...
Exact opposite for me.
Anything is better than a Starter that stays pure one type.
I want my starter to be a viable member of my team through my journey, and a single type is just too restricting.
I think Gen 6 did it best, with the first 2 stages being single Type, but once you are later in the journey, your starter gets its full potential and maybe even gives a surprise if the typing was not obvious beforehand.
I know, but the situation is a little bit different this time around.
Indeed but that's what those day 1 people are for and data miners that get the game. I'm in no rush to play this game anymore anyways. Once I see who is in the dex and post game content, I'll decide if it's worth plopping down $50
That could be a possibility. I mean if there's already an ability that boosts punch-based attacks, why not creating one for kick-based ones?
That would be... pretty damn cool actually. It would make it more competitively diverse or predictable. 🤔
also wasnt incineroar based on Black Tiger from Tiger mask?
They will likely want to focus on keeping the Pokedex secret. There will probably be articles all over the internet with all the Pokemon listed though.
Yea, Japan and young people love it. I think most of the hate is from western adults who are worried they'll be called a furry which means the end of your life.
Probably they would have to create some new attack because for now there are only three types, fire, fighting and normal.
why keep it secret except to stop articles about what pokemon are gatekept from being in the game?
This is why my biggest issue with Game Freak is their design philosophy regarding the game itself, as well as the narrative, the gameplay mechanics, etc. We know Pokemon isn't simply played by young children, it's also played by teenagers, young adults, and adults (especially when you hear stories about parents playing Pokemon with their children). In fact, we see such varied demographics when people play Pokemon Go, and we will inevitably see the same varied demographics when Pokemon Masters is released. So why Game Freak pretends like only children play their games is rather strange (I will admit, there was an improvement with SM and USUM, but then took a step backwards with Let's Go, and the jury's still out on what Sword and Shield will be. The last time I felt so overwhelmingly positive about the game and its components was in Gen V).
The most common example I see is a company like Pixar. They make movies that most people will say is for children, but often times, they have so much depth to them that people of all ages will find enjoyment in watching. It's why I hate the argument that "well maybe you outgrew Pokemon", because it's a huge missed opportunity that Pokemon Go marketed around nostalgia and bringing people back into the series. But if all you're doing is centering your gameplay only on what kids would enjoy, then it's no wonder that people on other demographic segments end up ignoring the series and moving on to other things.
Because GF never wants to spoil the Pokedex. They do it with every single Pokemon game and I doubt they are concerned about articles telling people which Pokemon are in the games. If stuff like that bothered them they would've backtracked a long time ago or released a different statement than the one we got.
I thought people like yourself would see Pokemon as content? Why would they reveal all the content in the game before it's released?
god forbid they tell people what they are paying for.
but knowing GF, they wont reveal much more so that the backlash is less than if they showed everything
So an RPG will tell you every single monster in the game or every character that you meet? Doesn't that spoil it? Did level 5 tell us all the Yokai in Yokai Watch 4 before
launch?
Isn't that what reviews and previews are for?
How would that lessen the backlash? If anything doing it earlier like they did with when they told us about it initially at E3 would be the move in that scenario.
I mean, they'll let people hard lock their Pokémon into a paid service with no way back. I doubt they care.
yep. and i bet home will have the same "delete pokemon if you dont pay or if we have data corruption , we cant do shit for you" that bank did.
"I'm here to cockfight with cute, real animals ONLY, and these bipedal creatures are really ruining my fantasy"
The giant sentient wedding cake ruined my fantasy creature battle realism
The ones that look like they are sentient and capable of consenting to the blood sport are the worst. At that point, why even bother?
I don't think "keeping it secret" will be their goal, but they simply have never revealed that kind of info about any game, I mean, the regional Pokédex.
I don't see why they'd treat these entries differently, and I would find actually pretty surprising, and quite ridiculous if they post, "here they are the 500 Pokémon we're including." I doubt they want to sell their games under that tone.
If anyone wants to make sure which Pokémon are in before buying, because no trailer and no info revealed is enough to convince them, then they should wait until after the release and check the official site, or wait around a month for the official strategy guide and see the list of Pokémon (if they live under a rock and don't pay attention to dataminers or fansites reporting the leaks).
does this look like the face of mercy
that was a frame I paused on in that Pokemon Rescue video
Since SwSh doesnt have a national Dex... We should stop saying "regional Dex". Because it's just the Pokedex now.
It's still the Galar region Pokedex, so it's a regional dex. SM didn't have a National Dex and we still call that the regional dex.
The new Pokemon will still have national Dex numbers for use outside of this game though.
no, it's still a regional dex. the next gen will have a different assortment
there's several more here, including a continuation of the second one
