I want everyone who complained about no Gen 1 mon before the post-game to line up and apologize.this is what peak pokemon looks like
I'm not sure exactly how yet, but I'm pretty sure this is all your fault.
I really don't get their design decisions. They do everything to make it easy as possible and even restrict old options which made it harder (but not actually hard) yet catching a pokemon that's one level too high is going too far.
I'm saying Mario fans, and fans of multiple series, showed a willingness to adapt or accept that some things about how they played or preferred to play might get left behind.
IIRC, there are really strong Pokemon in the Wild Area that are meant to be too strong to be caught. (I guess they just swipe the pokeball away when you toss it.) I don't know if they're capable of being shiny, though.
If Kat bailey at USgamer is reviewing, she's the most likely reviewer to go scorched earth over things like dexit and the exp share. Everyone else is going to be like "New pokemon, cool!" for the most part
Gotta love the same low-quality MIDIs from the 3DS games...
Let's Go had live-recorded music. Why couldn't SwSh?
Casey DeFreitas is reviewing for IGN. I'd be shocked if she scores SwSh less than 8.5
Serebii's site was just used to debut Pokemon merch. People really need to remember that they're basically a PR mouthpiece at this point and proceed accordingly.
Nomura hire someone who understands how to direct cutscenes challenge.

Every Pokemon game is pretty consistently 25-30 hours long to credits, with some exceptions like HGSS (closer to 20). I should know because I've been replaying most of the series this year.
Yeah doesn't look like we're ever getting back to highs of the DS era
Platinum
HG/SS
B/W
B2/W2
All in quick succession. Those were the days.

Wait, they're already at the second gym? Fucking lol. I'm so annoyed by everything about this game now.
Also, that gym guy who walked up to them's animations never changed. "Early release footage!" my ass.

They've since made Minecraft more accessible even adding in a recipe book that would tell you what you could craft when you get new material. So yeah not a good example when them making it more accessible might have been a contributing factor to the game getting more popular with kids
A lot of the older Pokemon games feel a lot longer because levelling up is slower but the Exp. Share is this game is really going expose just how short it is.
I don't see how, but I struggle with separating these things in my mind and breaking associations like this. Can we please leave it there? I don't know if I have the ability to properly see things with your perspective.
Hence the "for years" in my post. Minecraft became popular without those accessibility options. They only arrived after MS bought Mojang
Not that this is the point, but Brawly in Sapphire can't touch Sableye if you catch one in the cave before the battle. I remember only Astonish hit it, and it's a shit move, so it hit for 3 HP only.
Also, gen V if you use the SE monkey in the first gym.
(Again, not saying the Milo fight was ok, or fine or justifiable. I just have the vivid image of Brawly's Makuhita being unable to touch my Sableye 16 years ago)
We know it has the Battle Tower and Online. All I really need tbh. Any time they have story post game it's usually pretty easy anyway.
You should. It's an absolutely stellar game and probably the most packed with content out of all mainline Pokemon games.
What would they even patch? They're not going to rebalance the whole game. 😩
Yeah I don't know why I never got around to them. I loved B/W
They have a Game Boy design philosophy but have to present It in a 3D game.
That was a nice touch, but tbh I don't mind that every gym has the same theme. It's how Pokemon has always done it.
They don't even need to. They could add the option and it would be fine especially as EXP candies could help pick up the slack
This thread has collectively reached the bargaining stage of grief.
"Please, how about just giving us the Nuzlockes back? Ok, no, well can we at least skip cutscenes?"
But how stupid is that? You can't catch pokemon too high of a level because it will make the game too easy and the game already looks to be too easy.
And it's a false equivalence because Mario never stopped giving the 2D Mario offering. They never removed beloved features from 2D Mario that had been there from 20 years. They just expanded the company and diversified the brand beyond 2D Mario. Which is something Gamefreak refuses to do.
Not really, he said the region felt big to him and he didn't seem like the type to care for difficulty.
The guy streaming swept Milo's gym with two Pokemon he had never even used in battle before (they just got leveld up by being in his team) so...not great for some people, Bob. One-shot the first and two-shot the second.
"More of the same" would probably be the most accurate description of the stream so far.
With maybe a shorter story and easier overall experience.
I wasn't talking about the 2D offerings in any of my posts. I talked about different incarnations of 3D Mario only and how some of them came at the exclusion of the other style. But if you want to bring that up, there were two console generations where the only mainline titles were 3D Mario games.
The Exp. Share keeps every Pokemon at or above the level of every trainer in the game, regardless of if you use that Pokemon or not, the streamer swept the first gym in 3 hits with a Pokemon he had literally not used at all up to that point, that was only leveled up due to Exp. Share, with 0 difficulty.
In the water gym right now. Those gym trainers being the same npc model does not look great.
Edit: Yes I know Pokemon always reuses models for trainers, but the contrast between this being on an HD console and reusing trainer models really does not look all that great to me.

I'm really not sure what you're trying to do here by even having this argument, I'm going to be honest. There is absolutely zero way to spin this entire thing as a positive, lol. You're fighting a losing battle.
