Usually pretty early in the year, at least for the last three Gens. Definitely before E3 though.
They usually start announcements and stuff in May~
We will at least get some of them. Won't be surprised if they are version exclusive again.Do we know if we'll be able to get alolan pokèmon ingame or will they have to be transfered in from GO?

Yea I mean with the cost of the games increasing by 50%, they really need to join the DLC game, especially if they continue to stick with the 2 game model, which they will. Add to that they now added Let's Go to the mainline lineup, and I really can't see them making the mistake of releasing something like USUM again (a lucrative mistake but their most shallow "third game" yet). Whatever we get will be a different beast for sure, whether it learns from past mistakes or not.I'm not even convinced next year's game will do anything right, if it continues the trends of forced tutorials, lack of post-game content and removing the National Dex while adding pokemon not from a local dex for no reason at all. SM did all that despite being very enjoyable otherwise so I really don't know if they'll just do it again since I have this horrible feeling. They really need to blow me away with the next game, or at least move towards adding DLC to their core games instead of releasing it as a $40 cart like with USUM so that any disappointments won't feel so bad if they can just patch them out.
Leaks have begun.
I wouldn't be surprised to see a ROM dump in the next hours.

On a side note I actually am excited for these games and for the first time, I shall proudly wield a Farfetch'd and become the Farfetch'd master.

haha i remember the only reasons I kept ORAS and didn't immediately sell it hours after learning it wasn't in the game was due to me thinking I could at least enjoy contests like with base RS, and that they'd add it in as DLC or some special super update
I was dead wrong and it made me realize even if they did make Emerald stuff DLC it would have been a shitty and horrendous move when it should have been in the game to begin with. Or at least, something new in its place that was substantial. People hoped the same from XY too but ironically SM wasn't one people worried much about since the post game in that was fine save for no national dex.
...Yet they made a third version of SM anyway with nothing important added besides new mons and a worse post-story. I actually think the cute cutscenes and side stuff like a Pyukumuku romance mission you can stumble across if you throw them enough was the best thing USUM added, yet they never advertised that once. I wonder if they're in this game too, like maybe being able to see a wild Vulpix try evolving into a Ninetales as it is jealous of them, and you go do something to help it accomplish the goal. Stuff like that would make the world feel more like a normal world which is what USUM did well. That and petting a Pyukumuku in the overworld was ace
Switch Rom dumps can be that quick huh? Well, let's see what happens.
First thing to check is if all the pokemon are still in the game code.
Next would be the levels and movesets for everything. See how easy the game is or figure out if they actually put a bit of challenge into this thing (no way can the Elite 4 be easier than the R/B movesets back then.)
Now that's a hot take if i ever read one.As soon as Youtube comes out on Switch suddenly everyone has the game
Hmm
You haven't been sent as much BS as I have today
Well, I wouldn't put it past some people to try to trick others.
Only thing that could be mildly interesting is some Gen 8 hints similar to previous games hinting at future titles. Also, any post game content such as elite four/gym leader matches, or extra areas to discover. Doubt it though.I doubt there's too much exciting stuff to leak.
I do hope a BST and movepool dump pops up.
Pokémon still evolve the same way as always - Levels, stones, trading, etc.Are Pokemon evolved through candy or Levels in this game?
Got me a Growlithe and not enough candies in the game to evolve him and I know Let's Go Pikachu don't have Growlithe.
Set him as your buddy and turn on adventure sync! That way he earns candy just as you walk around. You'll have that candy in no time :)Are Pokemon evolved through candy or Levels in this game?

Not everyone has the game. We only have 1 confirmed person that has the game.As soon as Youtube comes out on Switch suddenly everyone has the game

Shame its a bit of a wet fart and that the yrue Home Console step is coming next year, but I'll take it for what it is. As in skipping a release for the first time in 20 years.Only a week to go for the first mainline Pokemon game on a home console
Yes. Works great, too.
'So, I was wondering about Alolan Ninetales. Considering Vulpix is version exclusive to LG Eevee, does that mean I will also need to do some online shenanigans if I want to get Alolan Ninetales in my Pikachu version? Or should I be able to get Alolan Ninetales in another way?
All these years and i'm still trying to understand what's so good about the battle frontier or whatever.
Frankly, it's pretty underwhelming for me. I'd rather have another kind of postgame.

I kind of agree. I mean, I understand why people like the Battle Frontier, I just don't find it appealing. They should have a post game focused on filling the dex, but having special rewards and new stuff for milestones and some sort of story behind it, like quests. And something better than a Shiny Charm as a reward for completing it.All these years and i'm still trying to understand what's so good about the battle frontier or whatever.

I'm really excited for this because they're finally going back to Gen 1, before they started ruining Pokemon with Gen 2 onwards...
I might also get that Pokeball controller.

Farfetch'd is the baddest motherfucker in town, he's just a duck with a leek and he will FUCK YOU UP.
It would be if it was capable of holding a Stick againFarfetch'd is the baddest motherfucker in town, he's just a duck with a leek and he will FUCK YOU UP.
It's mainline game, just like NSMBU and Odyssey are both mainline Mario games.
Woah there, while I do prefer HGSS overall Dexnav is my GOAT feature in any Pokémon game. Dexnav, Soaring, stronger E4 after completing post-game, and a camera view that compliments the poorly optimized GF overworld engine much better than XY or SM combined with all the little QoL updates from XY make those solid entries in my book. Only titles I have truly enjoyed in the series since BW2.Omega Rub and Alpha Sapphire is just an underwhelming remake given how much effort Game Freak did for the Johto remake.
