I admit, I haven't looked into all the variations themselves (Gene Simmonszagoon was cool), but 13 (10 families) is pretty lame.But there's actually a decent amount though.
I wish there was handful more but the variations this time are a bit more exciting than Alola.
So, umm. Hi there.
If you recognize me, you may be aware that I don't really like playing RPGs, so I'm in a kinda unknown territory here.
I am somewhat confused by the selection of mons presented in the OP. Now Joe seems to have the idea that quite a few entries are actually missing, but for the sake of argument let's suppose that's what we have.
Now let's say that I choose which mons get in, but numbers stay similar. My first idea is to focus on final stages of evolution chains. So, for example, cut Charmeleon and Charmander, include Blastoise and Venusaur. Would that make things better or worse?
Worse. That would eliminate breeding, making it needlesly difficult to get multiplayer ready Pokemon.So, umm. Hi there.

It must be exhausting for Charizard getting wanked off so often
You say this but Stunfisk has a huge following in Japan. Besides Pikachu, he is the only other electric pokemon to have a pokemon center promotion exclusively to himself.I don't get being mad that a super popular Pokemon that's many people's favorite made it in.
Be mad that Stunfisk made it in.
Probably because Charizard is marketed everywhere unlike the Meowth forms and Meowth in general outside of being with Team Rocket in the anime.Meowth gets multiple new forms despite having two last gen, continues to be a recurring anime character. Charizard gets all the blame.
Wait, 2 Meowth forms? I just remember Alolan Meowth.Meowth gets multiple new forms despite having two last gen, continues to be a recurring anime character. Charizard gets all the blame.
I haven't played Pokémon since Leafgreen, but jesus I'm actually pretty shocked they chose to cut some of those. Jigglypuff, Squirtle and Bulbasaur are three of the most popular Pokémon around.
well, two as in the evolution was new too. This time its got a bit more than that. The last time Charizard really got special game related stuff was mega evolutions in 2013? Unless you count the ride Pokemon thing
Also got to be the centered pokemon in Origins, and the one to bitch slap Greninja in the Kalos League finals.It's also that he's the Champion's ace Pokemon in this game.
Meowth's new form is great and funny though at least.
Okay I burst out laughing at the last bit.Not sure if it was posted in this thread before
The pokemon rap with all the dexit'd gen 1 pokemon removed.
I'm surprised Blastoise even got something. And his teeth too.
Remember when Charizard tanked all of Greninja's attacks after tanking all of Pikachu's because the writers said so?
Yeah. Charizard wanking is a thing. See also: Sasuke Uchiha.
This would actually make me sad. lol
Good pick, but what I would consider worst is Blastoise jobbing to him in Origins.Remember when Charizard tanked all of Greninja's attacks after tanking all of Pikachu's because the writers said so?

:'D
That said, I do actually think those threads are kind of nice. And while yeah, you're probably not going to see "we love you EA!" posts on the front page of Resetera... I can tell you personally that there's fanmail places sometimes receive, and they do put that shit up on the wall. Sure they might be saccharine sweet, and they might seem a bit too much like corporate apologia at times but it's still nice to hear people touched or impacted positively by something you made, you know?
More on-topic, I'm honestly just kind of bummed about this entire thing. I feel sad about the pokemon that won't be present, I feel sad for the employees, I feel sad for all the people that wanted to be really stoked about this game but can't, I feel sad for the folks that feel under attack because they plan on buying and enjoying the game. I'm kind of at the bargaining phase I think, lol, where I'm just like... "come on, if you just add Greninja I'll get it. Please. I desperately want to like this game. Don't do me like this."
and then someone comes out with "hey, I can't find the GTS" and once again, I am bummed.
Well we now have a thread thanking them for making and selling us video games. ¯\_(ヅ)_/¯I don't really mind positivity in a vacuum. But this isn't that. This just seems like people getting offended that their favorite company is taking a little heat and feel the need to defend a game company that doesn't need to be defended. In about 6 days these games are going to make millions of dollars and the Internet will be inundated with posts of people enjoying the game. I think until then, GF will survive taking some heat.

Crazy thing is that people don't realize that if you put up a reasonable trade, you'll usually get it within an hour or two.If the GTS really is gone I can't wait for people to start inundating us with lines telling us it doesn't matter because everyone just asked for legendaries or unobtainable pokemon or some shit like that while ignoring that it is invaluable for anyone trying to complete their dex
You cant even get mythcials on the gts to begin withCrazy thing is that people don't realize that if you put up a reasonable trade, you'll usually get it within an hour or two.
No one is going to give you a Victini for your unverified Ditto.
The whole "thank you Gamefreak" thing on Twitter baffles me. No other developer would ever get so much support for removing a huge part of people's enjoyment of a game.Well we now have a thread thanking them for making and selling us video games. ¯\_(ヅ)_/¯

Some people are grateful for what they have and want to thank a developer who has given them years of joy and entertainment.The whole "thank you Gamefreak" thing on Twitter baffles me. No other developer would ever get so much support for removing a huge part of people's enjoyment of a game.
I understand harassment goes way to far but at the end of the day the people against Dexit only want a better more complete game.
Wait, the GTS was a way to evolve trade pokemon like Machoke to Machamp without relying on someone else as long as you had a 2nd game or another switch account. Is that no longer possible?
I'm grateful for that as well but that hashtag has become more of a anti #BringBackNationalDex than a well meant gesture.Some people are grateful for what they have and want to thank a developer who has given them years of joy and entertainment.
That'd be gross.
They should use Toby Fox for a new eShop Demake/Remake series that is single player only for older fans. Have a series of classic style HD sprite games that work in their continuity with a continuous storyline and the ability to transfer over pokemon game to game with a new RPG turn based system.Who we'll get: Omega Force
Who I want: PlatinumGames
Who I really want: Toby Fox
HA.
I mean the writing was on the wall with PGL closing, we should have seen it sooner.
