To me its like hoping for a darker Mario or Zelda and id prefer they stop with the preachy, melodramatic stuff and go back to the mostly jovial journey to become champion of old.
What "preachy" stuff are you referring to? Outside of Gen V having PETA-meets-Knights-Templar-meets-gun-control-legislation-in-the-US as villains while somehow working as its own thing, I never thought the games got preachy. Sorry for asking, I just don't know what you're referring to other than Team Plasma, & that's about a decade old at this point.
Heck, Gen VI's pointed lack-of-story was one of many reasons I wasn't a fan of it.
Sun and moon had an extensive monologue with Lusamine and her mother in the penultimate scene of the game involving Pokemon not being objects to collect....which they fucking are intended and promoted as in every possible way. It literally made me cringe.
Ah. That's fair. I'm not a fan when it gets weirdly hypocritical & lacks self-awareness, too. I can continue railing about Gen VI's plot on that note, too... But instead, I will say that I at least enjoy creepy-weird stuff. The Ultra Beasts scratched that itch that Pokemon Tower/the Ruins of Alph did back in the day, especially when Lusamine became one! ... Then that excitement ran out when a Nihilego-taking-over-Lusamine fusion did not, in fact, tag into the battle after Lusamine's 5th Pokemon was KO'd.
That stuff is arguably dark, but I definitely want to see more of that in Gen 8.
Pokemon GO Plus was already a thing, so "Pokemon Plus" is probably out of the questionPokemon Plus sounds way too much like a weird app or something for it to be a main line game.
Oh, if that's what you mean by dark then sure. I think the games could learn a lot from the anime when it comes to having scenes that actually get an emotional response at least.
I hated N. my problem with Gen 5's story pretty much centered around him. like GF wanted some sort of messiah figure but didn't go far enough with it. thought the story would have been better without him.Agreed. I like N & all, but any attempts at plot since then felt unearned, too forced, &/or squandered a good idea. I feel Game Freak doesn't have the chops to go much further than what they did in Gen V. I'd love to be wrong, though!
I'm super down for that.I wonder if they maybe can work around rock, ice and bug as starters. On a side note, that would give at least more incentive to balancing ice(and perhaps bug).
Yeah, you'll be able to transfer them to Pokemon Bank, and from there to any Gen VII game.I don't know where to post this, but if I buy the English version of Pokemon Gold on the VC and play it on an European 3DS, will I still be able to transfer Pokemons from the english game to a PAL version of USUM ?

Water/Rock and Water/Bug already have amazing Pokemon repping the type combos, Carracosta and Araquanid respectively. If they can do better Pokemon than that, sure why not one of the two. Fire/Ice would also be the only viable combo out of those 3 as well, cause Fire/Rock would have crap defense against ground and water moves, and Fire/Bug with rock. Shit, Grass/Bug is also pretty pretty crap. Grass/Rock, Fire/Ice, and Water/Bug would be a cool thing to see though.I wonder if they maybe can work around rock, ice and bug as starters.

Sure why not. Throw in a Drill Dozer and Protoman team up game while they're at it.Hmm so. . . with gamefreak opening their own twitter page and youtube channel recently, Town on the horizon, giga wrecker alt being rated, and the gen 8 announcement still needing to happen, I wonder if we might get some sort of a press event, or gamefreak conference kind of thing instead of a direct. It seems like they're trying do more (for lack of a better phrase lol) as a company, and strengthen their identity a bit, and we already saw them hold a press event last year for LGPE.
What do you guys think?
It definitely is. Some things feel too similar to Pomemon ti be a coincidence.Honestly, all I want for Gen 8 is a camera you can move with the right stick. I'm not expecting it, but that's what I'm hoping for. Hopefully Town is partly an engine test for Pokemon, since that footage from the direct appeared to show a fully controllable camera.

Ice shouldn't even be weak to rock though, that never made sense. Like what, rocks can chip at ice or whatever? Nah, if anything ice should be SE against rock, being able to swallow them whole.I don't think Fire/Rock would be that bad if it was on something fast. If it's fast enough, it's unlikely to care about Water and Ground moves as much, because you can switch out with something like U-turn, or just attack first - Magcargo highlights all the massive flaws of the typing because it's so slow and is trying to be defensive. Fire/Rock doesn't have bad coverage either and usually Rock types get Ground coverage, Fire+Ground and Rock+Ground are both good pairings for coverage.
Fire/Ice is just as weak to Rock as Fire/Bug though
This screams nostalgia bias to me. Sun and Moon characters shit on BW characters from the highest of heights. Lusamine, Lillie, Guzma, and to a lesser extent Gladion and Kukui are way better than anyone from BW, N included. And that's not even taking into account the other great side charactersN is still the best character Pokemon has ever done in my eyes. He and Ghetsis were done so well and made Black and White easily the most enjoyable Pokemon story. I really doubt Game Freak will ever top it. X&Y and S&M were just awful, especially in the character department.
It's not nostalgia bias, I played the BW games for the first time last year. The only characters I liked from Sun and Moon were Guzma, Kukui, and Gladion. Lillie and Hau were the worst.This screams nostalgia bias to me. Sun and Moon characters shit on BW characters from the highest of heights.

Barry had the most annoying gimmick in all of Pokemon, his dialogue was a chore to get through
cant see why the wouldnt.saw this on /vp/ and now I have the strong desire to yell at my computer, hoping GF brings this back

Me and you, brother.saw this on /vp/ and now I have the strong desire to yell at my computer, hoping GF brings this back
I feel personally attacked.Barry had the most annoying gimmick in all of Pokemon, his dialogue was a chore to get through
Barry was about that scrilla. don't knock the hustleIf you keep telling people IM GOING TO CHARGE YOU TWO BILLION IF YOU DONT DO THIS THING you should feel attacked, thats annoying as shit
Wasn't annoying, seems like people these days have unreasonably low tolerance for trivial things.
What hope is there for this when they didn't even bring dexnav back? 😔saw this on /vp/ and now I have the strong desire to yell at my computer, hoping GF brings this back
Unless they can let rivals win against you and let the story continue on, they'll continue to be useless in their intended purpose. They don't feel good to beat of I'm obligated to beat them every time. They're not a rival then, just a gateThere's nothing wrong with the main character having friends and rivals. They just gotta be written well.
