Pokémon Sword and Shield announced. Coming Late 2019
- Thread starter Xavi
- Start date
Don;t think the random encounters it's really good. imo
I know your feel, but we're talking about GF. They ignore this.
That's an absolutely rubbish excuse.
It's an about expecting BOTW tier (and even then BOTW is hardly some sacred gold standard in 2019), it's about a HD game in 2019 looking like it's come from several generations ago.
This console can do some impressive things, I mean just look at XC2, developed by a third party.

Best female MC design ever, no question. Hat and sweater are perfect. I'm imagining her with an incomprehensible Scottish accent.
And if course the male MC looks like a loser again... a downer but I'm not surprised. Hopefully customization is back (I mean why wouldn't it be) and I can throw away his dumb hat.
There is no surprise there at all. There's no pursuit at all. It's just waiting around for it to pop up and come to you. If you want something like that be my guest, that's your opinion. But I couldnt stand how fucking boring it was to see rare Pokémon just pop up like that for nothing. Random encounters are great.
The game looks great to me - and Scorbunny is my pick. Crossing my fingers it doesn't slip into early 2020!
Random encounters being back is such a bummer when even Dragon Quest no longer sticks to them, and that series is way more conservative.
Don't know, maybe because I like Pokémon the way it is?
And if I want to explore empty maps with the same 2 enemies recycled everywhere, I just play BotW?
It was directed by Masuda. His last game as a director, in fact.
The gyms look great: one is a football stadium, one is a mine. It seems like they are integrating them into the world, much like Gen 5 did.
I'm excited for random battles being in. Lol..
Right now I'm rolling with Scorbunny. I'm going to need a female that I can name Bella after my rabbit who passed last year☹️
The new region looks great. They finally dropped the O in the regions name. I can't wait to see more.

Only part in the whole trailer that I liked. Everything else just looks...unimpressive and I am seriously disappointed that we will never get what we should get after all this time.
One more to the pile, then lol
I think Let's Go's Kanto looks pretty great
Tbf about the random encounters, LGPE had the benefit of dealing with 150 models, whereas this game is going to have to accommodate for 800+ in some capacity, so whilst on screen encounters wouldn't have been an impossible task, it'd have been a major undertaking.
Is that hill side figure a reference to the cerne abbas giant?

Looks even worse, like and HD copy of XY. What's promising about this? Lmao.

Monolith is a Nintendo studio
Monolith Soft is 1st partyThat's an absolutely rubbish excuse.

Monolith is a first party dev. Gamefreak is a 3rd party. You literally have it flipped

So you think it's better to have to run away in a direction you might not even want to go to from an agressive pokemon than just kill the thing or run away like you used to in any other game so far and just continue to go in the direction you want to? I love that in these arguments people always seem to forget repel exists, too. How are ambuhsing pokemon better than random encounters? You already force people to prep for a dungeon with repel and the likes. Not sure what the difference would be.
Honestly, this thread proves how toxic the Era Pokemon community is (not that I needed more proof after how last year went).
Wild battles have been a non-challenge for generations with no signs of that changing. Keeping them random just makes them a pain in the arse.
So, we've got a couple trilithons:
Though it doesn't look like a full discount Stonehenge. Then again, even if there is one, I don't expect to actually see the henge part (because that's not the stones)
Love the chalk figure though, very nice
Betting we get a bunch of ancient/centuries old legendaries

The bunny has that plaster above his nose like a cartoon boxer, there's no way he doesn't turn into a fire/fighting
Well, based on what we've seen so far, the "spin-off" remake of the first gen game seems head and shoulders above the new mainline entry as far as new ideas are concerned. Should have expected this after the aggressively boring Ultra Moon. Series is showing some deep wrinkles, but I'm sure it'll continue to do great commercially.
It certainly doesn't look bad, by all means, but the graphics quality looks like something a smaller A or AA Japanese developer could most likely achieve on the switch, like the Atelier or Rune Factory series, etc. I guess, I just expected more from a company that has the kind of revenue that Pokemon generates?
Who knows if Pokemon 8th gen is also the first time Pokemon series are going to have live services, like some other Nintendo-published games.
