Oh hey! I didn’t see it at the time but when I did I needed to get back to you. I mean to keep my time on here brief. I have been more conscious about the their and there’s so cheers for reccommending! If they’re forcing a livestream this long for the first time, there’s something not right happening that seems to reflect there confidence about it and from every media appearence it seems the directors look ashamed and awkward as hell. The little rock 'mon that went by unoticed is kinda cute.
Neo Houndour is one of the best holo choices ever graced so it’s nice to frequently see it. Been way overdue to pick that ever since but kept holding back for too long especially when Discovery is WOTC’s most overlooked set. Will need to dwelve in to Aya’s work more besides Lance.
Sirfetch’d is amazing!! Haha I’m pretty pumped to see all the new stuff in the game and I like the fact that they haven’t shown as much for this release in trailers. Makes the release that much more exciting.
After reading through the comments, I agree with most on here. Not a fan of the giant Pokémon, and disappointed about the national dex. That being said, I’m super excited about the better graphics and being able to actual play one of the main line games on your tv so easily is pretty cool. I hope they jam pack this thing with cool things to do after the game as well.
Looks tasty. What a coincidence it was when the glitch came up after cooking leeks and checking up on the EX Emerald Farfetch’d secret rare. Though I also had dreams for a Missingno. return.
Ah Gen 3. Contrary to others when they write EX era in upper case I instincitively assume Gen 5-6 over 3rd’s originals having lower case ex’es, a case of spending lots of studying on Bulbapedia haha.
Similar to the random placed Jirachi, Absol and Charmander line to some degree (plus being some of Mitsuhiro Arita’s best. Period.) is one of many wondrous gems from that gen which you find uncovering when you trek through each set. I got that same reaction upon learning about such nicety cards secret for being secret (Dark Raichu, this) when compared to a ritualistic alternative which is what made them special to me. Haven’t seen such similar commodity until the recent Tag All Stars Eevee GX.
In my opinion, there wouldn’t have been an outlash if they didn’t state that the dex cut was to improve graphics and animations. After they said that, they should’ve known people were gonna inspect every little detail to scrutinize gamefreak. I’m kinda sad that so many people are turned off from this game because of the dex cut which was inevitable anyways. Soon enough, there will be over 1,000 pokemon, and it isn’t feasible to include all of them within 1 game ; this can be solved by having multiple current gen games which can include parts of the national dex. At the same time though, I think tPCi’s mistake was a good thing ; gamefreak has been lazy for a long time, and people looking at every small detail seemed to reveal a lot. Things like battle animations being lackluster, npcs having the same exact animations as the 3ds game(the animation of the intro of Hau was copied and pasted into Sw/Sh), and other lazy bits need to be done away with. Hopefully now that the community is aware of a lot of GF’s bs, the games will significantly improve from the ds versions. If they don’t, we can only hope GameFreak gets ousted and a different company takes over making the pokemon games
Spreading Pokémon over several games might seem good from a business perspective (heck, it’s the reason we got multiple versions since the beginning). But for players, it gets messy when you spread too many Pokémon over too many games (or even exclude them altogether). As somebody who takes content over graphic fidelity; I don’t mind looking at jagged edges, pixel sprites or whatever is necessary to get all Pokémon in one game. The models (and a lot of animations) have already been made, so workload isn’t an excuse either and finally balancing isn’t necessary since most Pokémon haven’t been competitively viable, so no need to tweak each and every Pokémon, just the ones that are included in this cut-up dex anyway.
So, so far I haven’t heard a single compelling argument why the current Pokédex shouldn’t include all Pokémon. As a completionist, 'gotta catch ‘em all’ was a great reason for falling in love with the Pokémon games. Too bad they went this way. We’ll see how it ends up.
You may rate having a whole Dex (that you aren’t going to use) over the prospect of graphics, but that doesn’t mean others think the same.
Sure, having access to every single Pokémon is nice, but let’s be honest. They just get out in the box and never get seen again. It’s not my favourite part of the game by any stretch, but I’ll take a better looking game over a few Pokémon that I wasn’t going to use anyway.
But if graphical limitation is the reason, then why does the game look the way it does? With my background in computer graphics I’m wondering where all the computing power will be used for instead? Textures? Polycount? 8K graphics at 60 FPS? Massive multiplayer online modes? A huge overworld? Pokémon has never been a graphical powerhouse (though the graphics sure look pretty, that’s a different thing). So I find it hard to believe that that’s the reason for not including every single Pokémon in the game. Again, I wish somebody could give me a decent reason instead of “just suck it up”.
@ozenigma, to each their own. You like the pretty graphics and I like every Pokémon to be included in the game. Why can’t we have both? It’s in their slogan, for crying out loud…
I mean personally I think if nintendo just made the games themselves, we’d have all the pokemon, more features, and at the very least botw level graphics
We know gamefreak isn’t that capable when it comes to programming as evidenced by them needing help to even fit the entire map of, I’d like to say, Johto into one of the older games. With stories like that, and other stories recently of them having like 500 of the same character for one cutscene and other dumb shit, I think we can actually believe them when they say that they need to remove pokemon to improve the graphics
I am far more dissapointed with the graphically changes then anything. Maybe I was expecting too much seeing the change in BOTW but I was expected Battle Revolution style pokemon and battle animations. This bothers me much more than missing Pokemon (Although a skew towards gen 1 will make me a wee bit salty).
In summary I am a massive hypocrite as I am buying it anyway
“Gotta catch em all” is an English only catch phrase. Pun intended . There has been many an interview where the Pokémon Company (a Japanese company) has stated that this was never intended to be a concept for Pokémon. I think that we should all be happy with what we can get here in America. I literally cannot take this National Dex entitlement any more. I personally like the argument that game freak has presented. That being that they wanted the game to be an authentic experience and not to force in certain Pokémon into the Galar region just for the sake of doing so. I’m not trying to argue, but people are so unappreciative these days. I actually believe that Pokémon is withholding all the new Pokémon to teach Pokémon fans the value of patience. So take that que and maybe you will be pleasantly surprised.
I just want a pokemon stadium 3 for the switch that takes the amazing animations/good graphics of battle revolution and improves upon it… with minigames of course
Though I also had dreams for a Missingno. return.
