I mean

fresh osprey
#

That’s dumb

lost plinth
#

the main reason to use Home is paywalled

fresh osprey
#

I never used bank tho

spice thistle
#

you can't transfer from Bank entirely unless you have it

fresh osprey
#

You can transfer from let’s go to sword shield for free

#

And that’s what I care about

fresh osprey
#

Because right now I have to trade with a friend and then they trade with me

spice thistle
#

It's going to suck when a new pokemon game comes out

#

Unless they block Home transfers until post-game

fresh osprey
#

I mean, future games probably won’t have all 1k

#

Or whatever

#

I expect galar dex style to be the future

#

With patches adding in more

spice thistle
#

Yeah but what stops people from grabbing a full Home and just

#

dumping the pokemon

fresh osprey
#

The same thing that stops you from using high level Pokémon without a gym badge

#

It won’t listen to you

spice thistle
#

Ah ye, I forgot about Badges

fresh osprey
#

Also they could definitely lock us behind the champion/elite 4

#

It not us

spice thistle
#

Still

#

It's gonna be like Switch

#

Online*

#

People will do an uproar and then they will just get it

fresh osprey
#

I have like 3 years of switch online because of promotions

spice thistle
#

Whatthefuck

fresh osprey
#

16/year is nothing

#

Spotify is 10/month

spice thistle
#

oshit

#

yeah that's why I don't use spotify

#

I use censored

hardy forge
#

we're not complaining about the price itself

fresh osprey
#

I use Spotify for way more than 10 hours per month

hardy forge
#

but the amount of storage required compared to the price

#

asked

#

6000 pokemon is 2MB

fresh osprey
#

Well we don’t know that

hardy forge
#

you can literally pull the pokemon files out

fresh osprey
#

We don’t know how they store Pokémon in sword/shield

hardy forge
#

and check each pokemon's size

#

i linked the video

#

and it does a decent job

#

of exposing the issue

fresh osprey
#

Even then, you aren’t paying for the storage

#

It’s all the other stuff

#

But yes I don’t think it should be required

#

I don’t think it is unless you use Pokémon bank

#

Which I don’t

#

And never have

spice thistle
#

But honestly though

fresh osprey
#

Don’t know if I’m gonna pay for it - I don’t really need to

#

But people have been paying for bank and with this new system you can stop paying for bank

#

How much does bank cost?

spice thistle
#

And transfer

hardy forge
#

and the fact you have to pay more than double(if you only buy one of the two games) for arguably still a tiny bit less content(200missing pokemon still) than what you paid 45 for in the past(including the 5 from bank)

#

is certainly egregious

fresh osprey
#

of Pokémon does not equal content

spice thistle
#

So just because you bought Sword

fresh osprey
#

More Pokémon does not mean a better game

#

Fucking sun and moon showed that

neon hinge
#

I still think Pokémon would be a better game with way less Mons

spice thistle
#

Does it mean that it should be free for you?

fresh osprey
#

How much does Pokémon bank cost?

spice thistle
#

5 i think Daf said

hardy forge
#

i am in class,and i have no time to argue over clearly shitty monetization and overarching greed

#

from gamefreak

fresh osprey
#

Per month or per year?

hardy forge
#

thats growing

fresh osprey
#

Not gamefreak

spice thistle
#

That's just being salty

fresh osprey
#

Pokémon company

spice thistle
#

Or just biased against it

fresh osprey
#

Pokémon company is the biggest problem

#

They’re greedy

spice thistle
#

Year fee

fresh osprey
#

They’re the ones with shareholders

#

Gamefreak is not

neon hinge
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

spice thistle
#

so

#

its 10 bucks

#

So you are paying

#

6 more bucks to get rid of bank and transfer

#

??

#

It's not a big loss

#

But hey, if its for bash a company let's all do it because it's fun

hardy forge
#

as i stated earlier,i am in class still and dont have time to argue about pokemon related things,but a lot of people have been putting traction on an indie pokemonlike game

#

thats very recent called TemTem

spice thistle
#

Good for them

hardy forge
neon hinge
#

guess is in reference to this?

spice thistle
#

Tmw you get a 85 Corrupted item

fresh osprey
#

Both games are good

#

Temtem is not better

#

It is different

#

The names of the temtem are awful

#

And the dialogue needs work

spice thistle
#

I haven't played it but

#

I don't really like the artstyle

fresh osprey
#

Some people talk way too much

lost plinth
#

I mean when you've gotta purposefully and with care name EVERYTHING something polarisingly different to the actual pokemon franchise

#

or get world-of-light-introduction'd

spice thistle
#

How many quests are in there for the Post ARR in FF

#

god damn it

fresh osprey
#

It’s just inconsistent

#

The names are all in different languages

hardy forge
#

the dialogue needs work but its seriously better than pokemon where they ONLY talk about pokemon o.o

fresh osprey
#

And most of them tell me nothing about what the temtem is

#

Umishi - what is it?

#

It’s a fish

#

How would I know?

#

Only through battle

neon hinge
#

Why would you know?

#

To begin with

fresh osprey
#

Golurk

neon hinge
#

Not all pokémon have clear names

fresh osprey
#

It’s clearly related to a golem

#

Geodude

#

Onyx

spice thistle
#

A dude of geo

fresh osprey
#

Flareon

hardy forge
#

may have been true for the firstgen

neon hinge
#

Pokémon has over 900 names

fresh osprey
#

Nearly all Pokémon names are related to type or the body shape/reference

neon hinge
#

🤷‍♂️

fresh osprey
#

Excluding legendaries

#

And one offs like togedemaru

spice thistle
#

Typhlosion

neon hinge
#

Temtem has to avoid ussing similar conventions to pokémon

#

Because ppl would call plagiarism otherwise

hardy forge
#

also lawsuits

#

e.e

fresh osprey
#

It doesn’t tho

#

And it uses some

#

Nessla is an electric Loch Ness monster

spice thistle
#

And people still get hyped over Nintendo renewing names

fresh osprey
#

The name is perfect

#

Barnshe is a barn owl banshee

spice thistle
#

I swear that sounds more like a pun

fresh osprey
#

It’s just that most of them are nonsense in many different languages

#

Probably because they don’t want to do translations

#

Which is something Pokémon spends a ton of time on

lost plinth
#

Temtem has to do to the collection-turn based battling-genre what Warframe does to the english language

#

that is

spice thistle
#

Does it has an explanation on why different languages?

lost plinth
#

butcher it

fresh osprey
#

For example - tuwai is a toucan

spice thistle
#

Like, different areas with different languages?

neon hinge
#

Abra, Kadabra and Alakazam are a stupid magic catchphrase

fresh osprey
#

But it could be Toucaw

#

They have hocus and pocus

#

They literally do that too

#

So it’s not plagairism

#

It’s just trying to avoid translation work

neon hinge
#

Implying Pokémon does names translation

fresh osprey
#

Pokémon names are completely different in every language

#

It literally does for nearly all Pokémon

neon hinge
#

Except Germany and France Pokémon names are all the same

spice thistle
#

Zenigame

lost plinth
#

It is likely a localisation issue tbh

#

Like take Quagsire

spice thistle
#

For Squirtle

fresh osprey
#

That’s because English is Latin based

#

Mainly

lost plinth
#

English it's from Quagmire and Sire

spice thistle
#

Lizardon

hardy forge
#

@lost plinth what does warframe do to english D:

lost plinth
#

German it's Morlord

fresh osprey
#

English is French plus German

lost plinth
#

from Moor and Lord

fresh osprey
#

Yeah

#

It gets the pun across

lost plinth
#

@hardy forge absolutely forgoes it

hardy forge
#

doesnt answer my concerns

neon hinge
#

ALL translations except Asian and FR/GER use the same name

#

So IDK what your point is

fresh osprey
#

Yeah that’s translations

neon hinge
#

Pokénames should all be the same, tell a french that you captured a Pidgeotto

fresh osprey
#

Temtem does none

neon hinge
#

They won't know what the fuck is that

#

And that's an issue

fresh osprey
#

Umishi is a fully Japanese name

neon hinge
#

So...?

fresh osprey
#

So what the fuck is it?

neon hinge
#

A temtem!!

fresh osprey
#

There’s no pun, there’s nothing that makes me remember what it is

#

There’s no indication of its type or body or function

spice thistle
#

Why the name temtem

neon hinge
#

I mean, umishi - sushi

#

lol

fresh osprey
#

It could literally be named potato and get the same noninfo

spice thistle
#

...

fresh osprey
#

Ok what about Ganki?

spice thistle
#

Inter you messed up that pun like

fresh osprey
#

What do you think it is?

hardy forge
#

it's a pokemon that ganks you

neon hinge
#

@spice thistle ?

fresh osprey
#

Nope dafire

#

Keep guessing

#

You’ll never guess

#

Because the name means nothing

spice thistle
#

Gaki

#

And inter

neon hinge
#

Ganki is a combination of ga (moth) + denki (electric current), both being Japanese words.

spice thistle
#

you need to go back and

fresh osprey
#

Yeah which means nothing outside of Japanese

spice thistle
#

think of everything you havedone so far to mess with the pun

#

umishi

#

sushimi

neon hinge
#

It's sashimi

spice thistle
#

Its sushimi in the lower countries

fresh osprey
#

Kalazu is a squid that’s toxic

spice thistle
#

So what is a ganki

fresh osprey
#

Why not Toxisquid? Or Cephalox

#

An electric moth that has bull horns

neon hinge
#

@spice thistle scroll up

lost plinth
#

Toxisquid is a bit 10iq

neon hinge
#

lol

fresh osprey
#

I would’ve named it Shoque

#

Because it has handlebars

#

And it’s electric

neon hinge
#

You should make a game then

fresh osprey
#

It tells you what you will be fighting

spice thistle
#

The typical answer when everything is out xD

fresh osprey
#

I’m planning to make a name translation and getting the game to read it

neon hinge
#

Good luck

spice thistle
#

Does it have a translation to Sp

#

?

fresh osprey
#

Or Saipat - a platypus that uses a sai. Why not Platynja?

#

Especially since that one borders way too close to psyduck

spice thistle
#

Does it

neon hinge
#

btw Temtem is made by a Spanish studio

fresh osprey
#

Yes I know

#

I would rather have the names all be one language than all over the globe

#

There no consistency

neon hinge
#

That surprises me, given how much hate you're giving them for using japanese puns XD

fresh osprey
#

Some names have English puns some use other languages

#

Those are examples

spice thistle
#

Eh honestly I am not

fresh osprey
#

The puns are in all sorts of languages

spice thistle
#

very kind when someone uses the japanese puns like that

fresh osprey
#

My problem is that some are understandable and some aren’t

neon hinge
#

That makes it more global

#

It's a MMO

fresh osprey
#

No it doesn’t

spice thistle
#

Considering how rich the spanish language is compared to other languages

fresh osprey
#

Pokémon is global because they do translations

spice thistle
#

they could have done puns on their own words

fresh osprey
#

Having all of the names sound completely different from each other just makes them sound alien

spice thistle
#

I mean peach

fresh osprey
#

They aren’t even consistent among their own game

lost plinth
#

i think multiculturalism was very heavily in mind of temtem's devs

fresh osprey
#

That’s my major issue

spice thistle
#

That is completely nice if

#

Mu--yeah what Emu said

#

But like

fresh osprey
#

Fucking Pokémon does multiculturalism

neon hinge
#

Eh

spice thistle
#

If the game itself had multiculturalism in game

fresh osprey
#

That Hawaiian bird from sun and moon is different in multiple languages

lost plinth
#

I mean bear in mind, Pokemon have their own ethos of 'what should a pokemon be'. To an extent, that's kinda become 'what a thing should be'

fresh osprey
#

And the pun makes sense

spice thistle
#

I haven't played Temtem so I ask, does the map of Temtem has like

#

Different kind of cultures on it where the Temtem appear?

#

Like if you say about the umishi again, the I am supposing there is a japanese like culture near it's area

lost plinth
#

That's why the UBs in sun and moon stand out like a sore thumb because they were explicitly not 'what a pokemon should be'

spice thistle
#

That makes the name perfectly acceptable

fresh osprey
#

Yes but the names do not match the zone culture

#

At all

hardy forge
#

temtem is on pc btw

neon hinge
#

It's only on pc

fresh osprey
#

First area is supposed to be French

neon hinge
#

Rather xD

spice thistle
#

...Well

fresh osprey
#

But none of the names of them are French

spice thistle
#

It's kinda sad then

fresh osprey
#

That’s why shoque is a good pun

lost plinth
#

also i didn't know oricorio's non english name puns

#

sec

fresh osprey
#

It’s in the French area

spice thistle
#

Like if the temtem were named by the culture discovered

hardy forge
#

smol indie studio actually fits this time

#

xd

#

it's still a kickstarter

fresh osprey
#

Doesn’t make it a thing they can’t fix

spice thistle
#

Cuphead was a kickstarter and look how big it go

#

Small Indie Studio doesn't work anymore

hardy forge
#

it got big after yeeaarrs xD

lost plinth
#

ok i see lol

fresh osprey
#

They should take the time and make puns for multiple languages

#

So that the temtem are memorable

hardy forge
#

temtem is still early alpha

fresh osprey
#

Early beta

spice thistle
#

The studio of Mulaka did too

neon hinge
#

Early Access

spice thistle
#

Closed Alpha

hardy forge
#

early everything

spice thistle
#

ITS STILL CONCEPT

deft vapor
#

early closed alpha

hardy forge
#

IT'S STILL AN IDEA FLOATING

spice thistle
#

But yeah

fresh osprey
#

That’s my point

#

It’s early

lost plinth
#

I never thought Oricorio was a pun on oriole-choreography

spice thistle
#

If the studio was open to

fresh osprey
#

So fix it now

lost plinth
#

It's just Oratorio

spice thistle
#

Critics

#

A good one would be

#

Name the temtem via the zone culture they are in

fresh osprey
#

I have other critiques - first dojo boss shouldn’t have pure electric type since you literally can’t counter it unless you pick a specific starter

lost plinth
#

huh

#

can you not catch a totally-not-ground by this point

fresh osprey
#

Nope

lost plinth
#

lo

spice thistle
#

Big flaw

lost plinth
#

nothing that resists electric?

fresh osprey
#

Not crystal type either

#

Only the starter

#

And it doesn’t make sense for the dojo boss to have it

#

They’re a water type leader

lost plinth
#

So is everything you can catch x1 to electric or x2 to electric

fresh osprey
#

It’s either a placeholder or the devs added it to add “difficulty”

spice thistle
#

OH

lost plinth
#

or what

spice thistle
#

ITS LIKE FUCKING

fresh osprey
#

Yes

#

In that first area, yes

spice thistle
#

LT SURGE IN POKEMON STADIUM THEM

fresh osprey
#

One is x4 to electric

lost plinth
#

oof

spice thistle
#

fucker had a pikachu that knew surf

#

raichu*

#

So if you went with a full ground-rock type team

fresh osprey
#

That’s at least type matching

#

It’s pikachu

#

This isn’t a water type

#

It’s a weird electric ghost

#

That’s totally unrelated

#

And you can’t even catch one

#

Not until way later

lost plinth
#

yeah that sounds like an oversight

spice thistle
#

I suspect you can skip parts

fresh osprey
#

It literally is all over the place with what trainers have vs what you can get

spice thistle
#

cant*

fresh osprey
#

This is true for all trainers

#

And it sucks

spice thistle
#

So how do you expect to beat it?

#

bruteforce?

fresh osprey
#

Pure dps and waste all your money on healing

spice thistle
#

not even brock in pokemon red was bad

#

i suspect is a placehorder to slow players in the progress meanwhile they complete other things

neon hinge
#

Yeah

#

That's not proper

fresh osprey
#

They’re short at least 20 temtem

spice thistle
#

Short?

fresh osprey
#

And release is 1.5-2 years away

#

It’s early access

#

Currently 141 but minimum 161 by release

spice thistle
#

oboi

fresh osprey
#

They also need to add more info about caught temtem. Temtem evolve based on the number of times they’ve leveled since you caught them

#

But there’s no way to know what the caught level was unless you are spending time writing that down

spice thistle
#

So like vanilla pokemon?

fresh osprey
#

It doesn’t have the “caught at level on route” thing

spice thistle
#

Wait no

neon hinge
#

It's quite literally the deffinition of Early Access

fresh osprey
#

And it 100% needs it

neon hinge
#

That's why I didn't buy it

fresh osprey
#

Yes that’s why criticism is important

#

So they add it

neon hinge
#

Tho I have it on wishlist solely because the NB/Trans stuff

#

I'm not saying otherwise 😛

spice thistle
#

NB/Trans stuff?

#

They are going for the politically correct way?

fresh osprey
#

I’m going to make a forum post with all of my suggestions/criticisms as a billeted list eventually

neon hinge
#

You can pick pronoun and body type separately

#

Good

spice thistle
#

takes deep breathing

fresh osprey
#

It’s really easy to do the body type pronoun thing

neon hinge
#

And I agree that temtems foreig names should be tied to the foreign zone

#

It's easy

#

Yes

#

How many games did it?

spice thistle
#

Did what?

fresh osprey
#

Bare minimum. Either the names should be tied to the culture of the zone or the names should be consistent across the game. Right now there are all sorts of different cultures and the names and cultures are completely inconsistent

spice thistle
#

If they really want to do something that Pokemon hasn't done it

#

They should put the history of each temtem, when it was discovered and by what character

lost plinth
#

isn't there a um

fresh osprey
#

Either all or majority same language puns or puns that match the area

lost plinth
#

blue platypus thing someone dropped a good couple grand for the right to create

fresh osprey
#

Yes

#

It’s cute

lost plinth
#

what's that called

fresh osprey
#

And again some name puns are great or at least make sense

#

Barnshe, Nessla, Saipat

#

But then you get things like Hidody

lost plinth
#

hmm

#

don't tell me

fresh osprey
#

What the fuck is the name? Idk what the name means and it doesn’t match the temtem - it’s a cute little leaf worm

lost plinth
#

whut

#

google: 'Hidody's name comes from the combination of the words hide and body.'

#

bruh

spice thistle
#

I dont even

lost plinth
#

that's tenuous even if I didn't know what it was

spice thistle
#

wha the fuck

neon hinge
#

Hidody's name comes from the combination of the words hide and body.

#

🤷‍♂️

#

noit the best pun

lost plinth
#

that one's like

#

not even a localisation issue

#

it's just fuckin dumb

fresh osprey
lost plinth
#

what IS the blue platypus called @fresh osprey

fresh osprey
#

Idk haven’t seen it

lost plinth
#

Platypet

#

creative.

#

Wait bruh hold up

#

rofl

#

ok so y'know Saitama

#

How his face changes anime styling when he gets serious

fresh osprey
lost plinth
#

wait no wrong way about

#

It just gets mad

#

it's not a change it's just pissed

#

Wait no rofl that's not the final evo

#

It's just even more pissed

fresh osprey
#

Toxsquid, Cepahlox, or Octotox/Octox are all good names

#

Instead it’s named kalazu

lost plinth
hardy forge
#

it realized the unfairness of life

#

as it grew up

lost plinth
#

if it was actually swole besides looking like it had bits glued on

hardy forge
#

the kind of temtem to post "we live in a society" memes

lost plinth
#

then i'd rate it

#

'Kalazu's name is a combination of the words Calamari + Azure.'

#

Calazure would've worked

#

Has a ring to it

fresh osprey
#

It would be way better

#

I didn’t even know that

#

Because they cut out the ure

lost plinth
#

'Kalazu's name was suggested by the discord user Yobri#7969 in the naming suggestion poll from August 14. '

#

so not from esteemed fonts of knowledge

fresh osprey
#

Oof

#

Kalazure could even match syllables

#

Kal-uh-zur-eh

lost plinth
#

Or Kalazuri

fresh osprey
#

Cal-uh-mar-i

#

Yep

#

The names need serious work

lost plinth
#

Honestly that does scream more 'final evo' to me

#

does this thing evolve

fresh osprey
#

They could be so much better

#

Yes

lost plinth
#

See: It's called Kalabyss

#

That is GOOD

#

that is a good name

#

i cannot fault kalabyss

#

that is a fine name

#

👏

#

shame it's not water dark

fresh osprey
#

Exactly

lost plinth
#

is there a totally-not-dark?

fresh osprey
#

Or piraniant

#

It’s a giant piranha

spiral sundial
#

im looking for someone

fresh osprey
#

Some of them are great, some are okay, and the foreign ones suck because unless you look it up and speak the language, they mean nothing

lost plinth
#

i mean there are some very stupid pokemon

#

like

#

Mr. Mime

#

sure it's set in stone now but

#

it's not very smart

fresh osprey
#

They don’t have to be smart

#

They should just make sense

#

Ganki tells me nothing

#

Shoque makes it sound like a French electric thing

lost plinth
#

a lot of these are also heavily on pronunciation

#

you say Shoque sounds electric but only if you say it right

fresh osprey
#

I mean that’s true for Pokémon

lost plinth
#

could easily spin that as 'soak'

fresh osprey
#

MANKEY

#

mane-key or man-key

#

Man-key is correct

#

And it’s okay to have some foreign ones

#

Just not all of them

#

For example the melee starter is Smazee which is smash + monkey

#

It’s mediocre

lost plinth
#

eh

fresh osprey
#

It could be punchkey

#

Or Punkey

#

Or Leemash

#

Like lemur + smash

#

There’s a bunch of alts

#

Oh it’s not monkey

#

It’s chimpanzee

#

That’s worse

#

They lose a syllable so you don’t connect the dots

lost plinth
#

to an extent also i can feel saving good names for later evolutions

fresh osprey
#

Chimchar

#

Chimp + char

#

It’s straight forward and obvious

#

Or crystle the crystal type

#

Where it’s name is literally its type

neon hinge
#

I lowkey dislike that their temtems don't have proper thumbnails or minisprites on the wikis

fresh osprey
#

They do on PC

#

Mobile appears to be broken

neon hinge
#

Also, I don't like the artstyle but that's just a preference not an issue

fresh osprey
#

Animations help

#

Feels less flat in game

neon hinge
#

okay

#

I'll trust you on that

fresh osprey
#

Here’s another bad one

#

Kaku and Saku

lost plinth
#

i love this wiki

neon hinge
#

Some bird?

lost plinth
#

'Appearance & Personality
REEE'

fresh osprey
#

They’re like oddish and gloom

neon hinge
#

Since Kenku is a thing

#

oh

fresh osprey
#

Yeah

#

It’s Japanese again

neon hinge
#

I'll counterargue that we have been studying pokénames since 1995

fresh osprey
#

But they’ve pretty much always been good

#

Klefki, treevenant, gourgeist

#

You can visualize them from their names

#

That’s the issue with these

#

The names don’t match the visuals

neon hinge
#

I honestl'y don't know what Klefki is

#

Treevenant is a tree I guess

lost plinth
#

it's the dumbfuck keyring pokemon

fresh osprey
#

It’s a fairy keyring

neon hinge
#

and gourgeist a geyzer?

fresh osprey
#

Gourgeist is a ghost pumpkin

#

Gourd + poltergeist

#

That one is very English specific

neon hinge
#

oh

#

that makes more sense

fresh osprey
#

In French it’s name is better imo

lost plinth
#

All of Gourgeist's translations work

#

Banshitrouye is french

#

Banshee and Citroille

#

with the happy accident that Troille also means fear

#

as Citroille means pumpkin

fresh osprey
#

Yeah banshee fear pumpkin

lost plinth
#

Pumpdjinn would've honestly worked

#

which is German

fresh osprey
#

Pokémon spends a ton of time translating names

neon hinge
#

I still think is not good to have localized pokénames for such a globalized game

lost plinth
#

although I'd give Pumpdjinn to a different mon

fresh osprey
#

International communities don’t interact tho

#

They speak different languages

#

And since temtem is an mmo is makes even more sense

neon hinge
#

But

fresh osprey
#

You’re only going to chat with people in your region

neon hinge
#

I interact with french ppl

#

and german ppl

#

And try to talk about pkmn

fresh osprey
#

Yes and that’s why either they translate or they have English names

neon hinge
#

And it's hard

fresh osprey
#

Europe is tbf difficult

neon hinge
#

Is really not that difficult if you follow the international naming

fresh osprey
#

If it was like Mh or FF where it auto translated certain things like names when you type

#

That could work

#

Pokémon should do that

lost plinth
#

i love high-effort memes like this

fresh osprey
#

But like gourgeist evolves from pumpkaboo

#

The names for both are pefexg

#

Perfect

#

Treevenant is a tree ent revenant

lost plinth
#

Trevenant was one of the more impressive names i can recall

#

well, being impressed by

#

like, 'how'd it take that long to get Trevenant' impressed

fresh osprey
#

Klefki is a key and is made of left behind keys

#

Yeah it definitely is up there

#

But even like, bidoof

#

It’s a beaver doofus

lost plinth
#

and Bibarel is a beaver but chonk

fresh osprey
#

Yeah

#

A barrel beaver

lost plinth
#

and then you get some names that're probably made by someone with a text description of what it's for

fresh osprey
#

Pokémon names almost always make sense in Japanese AND English

lost plinth
#

case in point: incineroar

fresh osprey
#

Temtem the names make sense sometimes in Japanese sometimes in English

#

Sometimes in neither

neon hinge
#

Fair

fresh osprey
#

And then both audiences are confused

#

It doesn’t help to have to guess what a thing is by putting syllables together

lost plinth
#

actually NONE of incineroar's names make any reference besides it being a fire cat/lion

#

that's disappointing

fresh osprey
#

Umishi is a fish. It could be named much better - like foamish

#

A foam fish

#

Seavish could be the evolution

#

It’s lazy

#

But it’s clear about what it is

spice thistle
#

did someone say incineroar

lost plinth
#

sadly i did

#

Litten and Torracat are fine names

#

but like

#

Incineroar is the Heel Pokémon

#

I'd call him in terms of influence a wrestling fire cat

#

not a fire cat

fresh osprey
#

Ganki could be a lot of thee things. It’s an electric flying moth. Electroth, Zapoth, Shoque is still pretty good if they changed the horns to a handlebar mustache

lost plinth
#

bears no reference to the designation, Moonsault, or dark typing

#

i mean sure we all knew incineroar was ass anyway but

fresh osprey
#

Starters kinda cheat a bit

#

Because they’re very visually iconic

#

But in temtem only the mental starter name is any good

#

Houchic

#

It’s a humanoid psychic

lost plinth
#

Decidueye is also a bit shit

fresh osprey
#

I think

#

Deciduous

#

And eye

lost plinth
#

Incin and Decid were thought up by someone who had half the info

fresh osprey
#

It’s decent

lost plinth
#

Yes but where's the ghost typing

fresh osprey
#

Probable that name and visual came before type

lost plinth
#

Ghost is in its design inspiration, its typing, and its z-move

fresh osprey
#

Decidueist might’ve been better

lost plinth
#

Primarina covers all bases, prima donna/marina/ballerina

fresh osprey
#

Or decidueaith

#

Like decidueous wrath

#

Wraith

#

Again, starters tend to cheat more often and even then they at least make some sense

lost plinth
#

what folks don't really know is why decid's a ghost type in the first place

fresh osprey
#

Temtem has a ton that mean fucking nothing and you won’t even know how to fucking pronounce them

#

How do I even say hidody? Is it Hi-doh-dee, hih-doh-dee, hi-daw-dee, hih-daw-dee?

#

And what does it mean?

#

It means nothing to me in English

lost plinth
#

Taifu's not much better

neon hinge
#

How do you say Eevee?

fresh osprey
#

E V

lost plinth
#

i'd like to see you butcher Eevee

neon hinge
#

Why ?

lost plinth
#

how else

neon hinge
#

EVE

fresh osprey
#

Because two e’s is a long e sound

lost plinth
#

yeah two e's is definitely a long E

fresh osprey
#

V doesn’t get a pronounced sound in English it’s just vvvvvvv

lost plinth
#

anyone with a basic knowledge of phonetics would get that fine

fresh osprey
#

Yep

neon hinge
#

pikachu

#

paikachu?

#

pikachú?

fresh osprey
#

No

#

I isn’t long because the a is province

#

Pronounced

#

But also that ones Japanese

#

It’s just iconic

lost plinth
#

Yeah pikachu is based in japanese onomatopoeia

#

back then PMC probs didn't care either

fresh osprey
#

I mean they did

#

That’s why the rest of the 151 are translated

lost plinth
#

yeah

#

Pikachu has japanese name in every translation

fresh osprey
#

Ekans and arbok are cobra and snake backwards

#

Charmander, charmelepn, Charisse’s

#

Charizard

lost plinth
#

charmeleon is a little tenuous, they obviously ran out of amphibians

#

Few years ago I did start taking an interest in pokedex entries to find the design ethos of mons

fresh osprey
#

Temtem is like an uncut gem. You can see it has potential but they have to cut it right or the whole thing is gonna be thrown out

lost plinth
#

think my personal favourite is Lurantis

#

like

#

praying mantises disguise themselves as plants

#

Lurantis is a plant disguising itself as a praying mantis

#

Killer question

#

Does Temtem universe have animals

fresh osprey
#

Yeah Pokémon has gotten a lot smarter over time, at least partially due to higher quality tech that allows for more detail

#

Don’t think so

lost plinth
#

oooh

#

Pokemon universe dug themselves into a hole on that one

fresh osprey
#

Pretty sure temtem are everything just like in Pokémon

#

Not 100% sure

#

Not really. A fish is a fish, even if it’s a magikarp

lost plinth
#

The current state of pokemon asks serious questions that involve 'food chain' and 'farming' that kinda just get swept under the rug

fresh osprey
#

A buffalaunt is meat

neon hinge
#

well

#

in swosh you eat pokémon

fresh osprey
#

They farm them

neon hinge
#

with your pokémon

fresh osprey
#

They eat them

#

Food is good

#

Food

neon hinge
#

Feels oddly cannibalism xD

lost plinth
#

This is obvious but

#

this is never outright addressed

#

except in dex sometimes

fresh osprey
#

You aren’t a Pokémon and birds eat fish for example

lost plinth
#

which is odd in itself

fresh osprey
#

How is that any different?

neon hinge
#

yeah but we're used to not have meat animals as pets

fresh osprey
#

Pigs

#

Guinea pigs

lost plinth
#

Oh I agree with you

#

But

fresh osprey
#

Some places eat dogs

#

Fish tanks

lost plinth
#

Pokemon franchise never wants to address it

#

for obvious reasons but

#

it poses an odd question much easier answered by making sure at the start your universe has 'cows'

fresh osprey
#

They don’t and they won’t but it’s been hinted at in entries of the dex or parts of the anime

#

Miltank makes milk

#

What do you do when it gets old or stops making milk, let it go?

#

Then you would fill the world with old miltank

lost plinth
#

I'm not saying you're wrong

fresh osprey
#

You eat them

lost plinth
#

I'm saying it's a void in the franchise

fresh osprey
#

It follows the same rules as our world but with the animals being able to be trained and having magic

lost plinth
#

because it's kinda not addressable

fresh osprey
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

For me Pokémon gets confusing with scaling

#

It’s not consistent with size

neon hinge
#

or weight

fresh osprey
#

Charizard is just under 6 feet but sometimes looks to be 8

#

Kangaskhan is supposed to be 7 feet but there’s an anime episode where a family rides In the pouch and in lets go a 4ft ish character can ride on its shoulder

#

It’s clearly closer to 11ft

#

You wanna talk Pokémon problems, size and weight are the real issues

neon hinge
#

it's sumo the one where the chick lifts a thousand kilos pokémon?

spice thistle
#

Eh Emu

#

in the anime they admitted they ate some of them

#

When James got a Magikarp he said he wasn't even worthy to be eaten

lost plinth
#

oof

#

i barely watched the anime

#

i watched the ones with Misty in as a kid cause who didn't

#

it looks kinda like ass now so i sleep

spice thistle
#

is a piece of shit and a big turn off

deft vapor

but the quest has.... ok nevermind I'm not gonna finish it

Minfilia has good intentions though

#

And honestly those fights are a joke

spice thistle
#

So

#

what the heck is happening with Warcraft 3 Reforged

deft vapor
#

is it doing a beta for azeroth 2.0?

spice thistle
#

Im reading it was a massive fail

neon hinge
#

ye

#

ppl is not liking it

deft vapor
#

idk, but it definitely seems like most/all work on it was put off until the last moment

neon hinge
#

also cutscenes streamed on blizzcon weren't present on the game

spice thistle
spring burrow
#

I mean I was expecting a one for one retelling of the story

#

I feel like people wouldve been pissed if they retconned stuff in the story

But yeah the in game ui is still kinda confusing imo

lool

Is that the mummy guy?

merry egret
#

People are unnecesarily mad beyond belief on reforged

#

It was blizzards fault for the very poor advertising

#

Was it blizzards fault for not communicaiting better from what they did after feedback? Maybe
Are there bugs that werent in the beta? yes
Did WE make the release awkward? Yes

floral mountain

anyone knows a discord of w3?

@floral mountain yes there are a couple

This is the same than with Dark Souls Remastered

Remastering doesn't mean making it worse

like happy endings

But i know blizard dont accept refounds

plain warren
spice thistle
#

They have never

plain warren
#

I never have attemped to refund any blizz games so shrug

worn gate
#

Because he banned a people that recommend to refound w3

#

Well

#

Its the frist time

spring burrow
#

Blizz never really allowed refunds so...

worn gate
#

Blizzard really really

spice thistle
#

Like

#

Unless it's a very delicate aspect

#

they will

worn gate
#

Really have a heartattack

plain warren
#

Why they even have refund function if they never accept them ASpikaThonk

spice thistle
#

But for "Oh this game is bad"

#

For those special cases

spring burrow
#

Remember though. Nintendo themselves allowed digital refunds for overwatch switch because it was bad

plain warren
#

Id put this game on the Bethesda tier right now.

worn gate
#

Warcraft 3 reforged the one thing that i like is the mount for wow

spice thistle
#

The only thing I'd consider bad this game would be for...the Ui and not remastered cinematics

#

But other than that it's a remaster

spring burrow
#

Yeah the ui is still ass

plain warren
#

What cinematics Kappa

spice thistle
#

The original ones

spring burrow
#

The in game cutscenes

worn gate
#

Activision kills blizzard tettlesW

spice thistle
#

Though the "no more campaing" is just people being stupid tbh

plain warren
#

I thought some summer boi did em

worn gate
#

And the custom camping

#

You read the conditions

spice thistle
#

You mean the EULA for custom games?

spring burrow
#

They did that to avoid another Dota situation

plain warren
#

Do i ever read em.

spice thistle
#

After what happened with Dota

worn gate
#

Yes

spice thistle
#

I really understand why they are so agressive

worn gate
#

After for this map of dota

#

Blizzard lost a millions of dollars

plain warren
#

I could sell my livers with Eula and id just accept.

spice thistle
#

that doesn't mean any sense

worn gate
#

But in this year dota 2 lost a players because have a toxic players

spice thistle
#

and that's why you aren't getting a refun

#

refund*

floral vessel

is there a chanell for new players? 🙂 thanks!

Warcraft 3 reforged is a big error in the world

plain warren

Blizzcom= good

This year= bugs

plain warren

But hey atleast it has 1 rating on Metacritic. Thats almost 10 but it is missing the needed 0

spice thistle
#

Are yall done?

worn gate
#

Well I hope shadowlands dont a 3 mistake for blizzard-activision

spring burrow
#

Ya done now?

plain warren
#

Y d n?

spice thistle
#

Considering the beta testers of Wow seem to be more...social than the beta testers from Warcraft 3 R

#

Because if there is something I can't believe is

#

They opened the beta more times that I remember and no one ever

#

mentioned those flaws

spring burrow
#

Yeah like, the w3 beta was dead silent

spice thistle
#

Like...

#

What were they doing? Playing the game?

#

You all brought this to yourselves to be frank.

worn gate
#

The beta > the final result xD

spice thistle
#

For someone that has the name Techsmith you don't seem to know a lot about how things work man

#

Anyways, yall keep ranting

plain warren
#

The hell man. I played the beta and i reported things

#

Blizz just does not give flying f on things we report on.. That is seen in lot of their games.

worn gate
#

Is a joke man dont trouble

#

:s

plain warren
#

So you stop being Blizz little fanboy and shut up. That was towards makore

Muted anyhow.

Nah im out.

Blizzard don't care of the players reporting but idk...

Don't fight guys please

As someone that has been in the ptr for some time, I can say that they very care about the players reporting

The whole mess in 8.2 about the Warfront scenario it's where they listened

Now if you consider

spring burrow
#

Also the whole player choice in the horde side war campaign

spice thistle

That even in the ptr there was news about things going awfully bad

spring burrow

Was from player feedback

Hi all, just a quick question about Warcraft 3 and Warcraft 3 Reforged, i heard in some YT videos that who had Warcaft 3 is now in the same launcher as Warcraft 3 Reforged so then now who would like to play the classic WC3 can't do it anymore? cuz if that the case Blizz really f... up this system for sure.

amber barn
#

anyone an idea what i can do ? since 1 day my discord doesnt work anymore on windows..

#

but as you can read the web version works fine..

#

any idea ?

#

tryed via installer doing "update" nothing changed

fresh osprey
#

Have you uninstalled and reinstalled? Also try installing the discord public test beta instead

#

Make sure you do a clean uninstall, restart your computer, then install

quasi scarab
#

Anyone saw my message at 11:28am? could someone tell me something about it

fresh osprey
#

I think that’s definitely not correct

#

Apparently some online stuff in standard WC3 is broken

#

But you can still download and play regular WC3

quasi scarab
#

i just not understand then why the base game then need to download a 30gb stuff? is that actually download the updated models or what is so big in that?

fresh osprey
#

Yes WC3R redoes every single model in the game

#

It also redoes the cutscenes or updates them to HD

quasi scarab
#

even if i not purchesed reforged?

fresh osprey
#

And also touched up the music sfx etc

#

Maybe?

#

Irk

#

Idk

quasi scarab
#

so there no have anyone who had the WC3 and not the WCR3 who know what that 30gb because i not understand the logic of this, that who only owns the original WC3 and not the WCR3 then it forcefully download WCR3 with all it's problems anyway on the original WC3??? that not make much sense

fresh osprey
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

I don’t work for blizzard, so I don’t know

#

Your best bet might be the WC3 forums

#

Sorry 😐

quasi scarab
#

no need to sorry MrPeach you just tried with your best knowledge 🙂 i just wondered if anyone else here in discord could have any idea

autumn garden
#

@quasi scarab Basically it's meant to replace the old WC3 battle.net connectivity + the world builder version was updated and the core programming support for custom maps was changed with it. Because of it, custom maps broke

#

Most of the weight of the file is the new battle.net UI and world builder.

quasi scarab
#

i see so peoples still can play the original WC3 but with all the bugs what came with WCR3?

autumn garden
#

Eh. The bugs are mostly with the reforged version. But the online aspect is pretty much broken until they fix it.

deft vapor
#

all in all, I'm gonna put the blame on Activision, if anything

autumn garden
#

Well yeah, the department that deals with the money

quasi scarab
#

i wish activision would dies out and leave Blizzard alone

autumn garden
#

It's pretty much a single company after all these years. So unless someone buys out the company completely, it's unlikely that anything will change

#

If anything the stocks are dropping heavily after all this debacle.

#

about 2% every 5 minutes.
