As my list demonstrates so do I
(Also when I first saw the post it just said 'uhhhh' and that response seems equally valid)
I really want to do an eevee team playthrough, what are the best Eeveelotiouns to use for such team? I'm think Flareon, Sylveon, Umbreon, Espeon, Jolteon, and Galceon.
exactly,
the only people i have seen crying about the cut pokemon are literally listing very popular ones.
i mean, my favorite pokemon didn't make the cut, and i dont care.
That's what I kept saying all this time.
It's just impossible* to always include the popular Pokémon, every single game. If they weren't cut now, they were gonna get cut the next one, or the next one. That would make every new game very boring and repetitive if there were always the same base Pokémon, to call them some way.
* it actually would be possible to include every single Pokémon, if the developers wanted to, but that's another debate we already had months ago lol
I think everything that hasn't been officially revealed is a spoiler, so yes those are too.
Yes but it includes Galarian forms. That's why people were asking for the cut list instead.
Gosh darn it, you scared me for a second. I thought this was someone just openly posting Evolution names lmao!
But yeah, I like those Nicknames, especially your Corviknight ones!
Pun names are the best. Pokémon names are often puns and word play anyway, so it feels pretty natural to me. The best name I've seen of Honedge was "Hexcalibur", it was so beautiful I had to name mine the same. I have also seen a video of someone playing a SuMo Nuzlocke and named their Popplio "Clown Prince" another fun name. I typically name based on whatever feels right at the moment, but I think one of my proudest would be naming my Noctowl "Clockwise" in Soul Silver.
Why are spoilers even being mentioned here??? There's like 2 huge big spoiler threads going on right now. Like c'mon. Don't ruin things for Team Pure.
I feel like we're way past them cutting the lifespan on each pair of games. OR/AS had stuff you couldn't get in X/Y, and US/UM and Let's Go straight up have new species of Pokemon in them.
I don't know how long this generation will be, but I wouldn't be surprised if we got a remake and then a second Galar game with more Pokemon (including past starters and legendaries like they usually do with the expansion games)

There are a few more that I haven't written down because they might be spoilery for several reasons.
Some people want to know specific things and this keeps them safe from walking into the danger zone.
Honestly, while I have lots of issues with the kind of technical skills Game Freak has displayed as years went by, which is obviously a consequence of them being late with 3D development and still being behind in the catch up game to this day (although I'm still legitimately surprised they went with the - partial - open world route for this game and I also appreciate the overall look of the game), I can't say that they're "lazy".
It's the exact opposite: not only, in spite of the massive outsourcing they already apply, they still face absurd technical issues for this day and age, but they also don't have enough time to develop new games. Especially in the past few years: 2015 was the only year where no Pokemon game from the main series (new gen / remake / expansion of new gen) was released. Since then:
2016 - Sun & Moon
2017 - Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon
2018 - Let's Go Pikachu / Eevee
2019 - Sword / Shield
Even if there is team rotation between new gens and remakes / expansions, it just isn't enough, especially now that they've entered the HD era of development. Honestly, besides heavily working on improving the development team's technical skills (including fresh blood), I fear Game Freak should seriously start thinking that they cannot work on yearly games. They don't have the capacity to do so, even with the massive outsourcing. They're not alone: as time go by, we're witnessing big titles with longer time spans between one entry and the other, longer development times behind them. Pokemon can't be immune.
Could a new gen with 4-years-development at full force (no remake / expansion being developed in the meanwhile) actually show major improvements? It's possible: GF would have more time to work properly on it. However, the bigger external issue is the whole merchandising machine behind Pokemon. Anime / card game / movies / gadgets heavily reliant on a constant release schedule. A major reworking of how things operate would be necessary, and I completely understand how difficult it might be to get such conversations going ...Unless GF goes even beyond with their outsourcing efforts and let other developers fully develop remakes and expansions while they can devote themselves on brand new generations. They should definitely explore this option in the future. I don't know how long things can go the way they currently are, even if Sw/Sh is probably going to be a massive success like other Pokemon games.
This animation is so goodDaily motiviation post!

Hahaha, sorry! I would be worried about the Pokémon franchise if they ever followed my lead for awful nicknames. ^^;;
Hexcalibur and Clockwise are really good. I wish I could remember some of my better ones off the top of my head, gonna have to dig through the bank at some point and see if there is anything work reporting
Slight returning pokemon spoiler:
no darmanitan, no buy.
/s obviously but goddammit, he hasnt been in a single region since his debut in Unova, i just want my big fire monster :///

I think people are blowing the cuts out of proportion,especially if we have a sinnoh remake coming next year anyways that will likely feature a bulk of the cut mons
We're really not that far off lol.. Actually playing Sw/Sh, launch hype, figuring things out, etc, will keep lots of people occupied until whatever is announced next spring

Whichever is the easiest to chain, if there is such a thing in this game lol
I have shiny Rapidash from Let's Go just waiting for Home to launch to make a quick trip to Galar (if its Kantonian form is in this game, that is).
Don't read if you don't want to know new Pokemon
if it makes it better there's a Galarian Darmantian.
Yes honestly I only cared about knowing the Pokédex and new Pokémon, from now on there will be only story spoilers which I want to avoid.
BIG
Oh MY GOOOOD THIS GAME IS LITERALLY AIMED DIRECTLY AT ME
i cant learn anything more
i cant learn anything more
See, I didn't add that one to the list because it was a nice surprise.
What the flying fuck happened in the Death Stranding review thread that needed to involve Anne Frank.
I wonder if you guys would be open to a fun little game to keep you on your toes. There is art going around that is nondescript enough that it spoils nothing, and you guys can guess what the hell its supposed to be.
I've been saying for a while now that it's absurd Game Freak spent longer devoping the initial games of the two DS generations than they have on any of the generations since, even as they're moving to HD. I don't think it's a coincidence that the shift back down to 3 years is the same time a lot of long time fans' opinions of the series started slipping.
Im gonna cry tears of joy, I woulda been more uptight about not asking if I had any faith he'd ever get in again.
Somebody started talking about how art doesnt neccesarily need to be "entertaining/enjoyable" to get across a point(which i can agree with), but then brought up the Diary of Anne Frank and Schindlers List as comparisons lol
I'm fully expecting someone to unironically bring up Brexit
I converted to full odds hunting hah, it's gonna be interesting with the wild area spawns
I expect SwSh to be particularly well received, scoring 88-90 on MC. So it should be less of a shitstorm as the Death Stranding one.
Wouldn't a high MC make the thread more of a shitshow
The higher it gets, the worse the thread will be, lol.
In general, reviewers and the most outspoken fans of the Pokémon series couldn't be further apart. Like Dexit and the post-game does not bear a lot of weight on a lot of reviewer's scores, while it is much more important to those fans.
How the...what the...Its a leap of logic to go from unenjoyable amusing video games that do their own thing having merit and should exist to fucking historical cinematography and eye witness testimonies. Like you don't just go around trying to prove a point like that unless you have a bone to pick.
I reaaaaaally want a shiny Impidimp but im scared itlk be puke neon green
Give me Gold(instead of pink) and bright cyan instead of purple, unique brand of gaudy.
Fuck youre right and i hate it
Took the courage to see this
fucking brutal, my hype has deflated...
Thankfully a healthy chunk of people dogpiled that but HOOOOBOY
Its not right to be happy something didnt make the cut, but im SO GLAD MEWTWO ISNT GETTING SPECIAL TREATMENT AGAIN
