then it probably doesn't matter, for reasons that'll become apparent as you play the game

Gotta love how some kid falls from the sky, has a device with tecnology from about 300 years in the future and no one bothers to study it

Hope so

I hate this game

Just don’t mind about it, don’t let the annoying dialogue affect your play time 😂

#

Wondering what kinds of trainer classes I ought to have for this kind of high-fantasy fangame

#

Considering the following, stuff you'd expect as some professions in such a place might be nice.

pseudo goblet
#

As in like Bug catchers and bird keepers?

bleak pine
#

Yeah, professions of trainers more or less

pseudo goblet
#

Quick guess, probably Ace trainers

bleak pine
#

Ace Trainer? Stand-in would likely be a knight or wizard.

#

With, I guess Rising Stars being Squires or Apprentice Mages, likely.

golden lance
bleak pine
#

A rogue or some kind of ne-er do well would be a fine pick for some towns with less reputable sorts of alleyways

golden lance
#

Also

#

Rangers could be cool

bleak pine
#

Possibly just calling them 'cutpurse' would be fine.

And yeah, rangers!

#

The series already has rangers, but that's fine too since both would more or less have the same job detail

pseudo goblet
#

Wasn’t there a biker class trainers in Pokémon

golden lance
#

Yes

bleak pine
#

Yep, usually like two

#

The usual Biker and their supposed head honcho, Cue Balls

#

Kinda a rude thing to call a bald guy, admittedly, but it's a lot better than the name given in the Japanese version

golden lance
#

Shout outs to triathlon athlets, too

bleak pine
#

Man, Hoenn must be crazy about athleticism

golden lance
#

I could see a training montage for the hoenn mc trying to climb sky pillar tbh

bleak pine
#

I can believe it. Trying to run a bike through all those cracked floors would be hell

pseudo goblet

The dude climbed a waterfall afaik

There's a lot of cryptic nonsense in RSE

golden lance

Since you had to 1. Know that it existed (if you weren't playing emerald), and 2. Scout the whole upper route for a single opening

Choccy you re still playing Legends right, did you know the game are pretty easy to find shiny

Question

#

What am i supposed to do with all of the duplicate mons i end up catching for my dex?

in what game

maiden flax
golden lance
#

The dialogue is from legends arceus

kind vortex
#

^

golden lance
#

Speaking of

#

Is there any incentive to do the early game dex tasks later instead of now?

#

The ones like "catch 25 bidoof" or "defeat 20 starly"

kind vortex
#

if you've done the bare minimum to progress the story and want to do that, then that would be its own incentive

#

but holding off and getting the early game mons out of the way is another option

maiden flax
#

ah

golden lance
#

Ngl game is a lot of fun

#

Altho kinda dreading having to do the "catch 25 x" quests

golden lance
#

Btw

#

Any tips about the "catch pokemon without being seen" quests?

bleak pine
#

Most of what I can give is just simply to hide in tall grass and if you need to, some items that make it harder for them to see you

#

Feather Balls can let you bean them from a farther distance

#

I find it really clever how Brassius, the Grass-Type Gym Leader in Scarlet/Violet has a Sudowoodo

#

Normally, Grass types would be weak to fire, flying and poison-type moves, but Sudowoodo is a rock-type that is resistance to all three of those. And it still fits with being part of the challenge since it's Tera-Type is apparently grass-type.

#

Do you think Red of Pokemon Red left Mt Silver to become a champion eater and truck driver after being beaten by Gold

void herald
#

nah he was still a pokemon trainer in sun and moon

bleak pine
#

Arrrgh getting good ideas for fangame

#

OK. So I might have some plot points set out

#

One such thing might involve a noble house located in a part of a region that is known for its farmlands be the target of an attack by some unknown individuals, seeking some sort of MacGuffin, and the protagonist having business with them since they learned the details of such a plot

#

The thieves goals might not be for mayhem but to just simply obtain this important item, which I'll have to decide later. In any case, with this sort of part I might introduce the players to the local lord of the area who used to be a simple respected rancher until his own origins came to light (And yet isn't the PC), his stern but well-meaning butler/vassal/whatever who ends up aiding the PC in their attempt to thwart the attackers, and our resident big bad's number two, an enigmatic man in armor who soooo isn't the Black Knight.

#

Vassal, after the assault is being carried out while the PC is still investigating, helps them break past the various mooks trying to stop them from getting to the room this item is being carried in (Most likely aiding them in multi-battles, likely with a mon like Indeedee), and as it turns out, the Big Bad's #2 ends up arriving just in time to initiate a scripted battle with Vassal. That Vassal and his Indeedee just get wrecked in the ensuing battle with him and his... I guess I dunno what would be cooler to show off here, but point being is, it's a battle that Vassal can't win.

And I'm not gonna subject the player to this. If it's one thing I hate, it's trying to put a player into situations they cannot hope to win, so I'm just having Vassal take the L instead, and warn them not to challenge this knight.

They make off with the item after all, and it will be a bit before they can recover it.

#

Hey that’s not fair

#

They gave it a better non hidden ability

#

This is also legit my first time properly seeing H avalugg

long stone
#

they should have made a Fire type one instead

#

Volcanic rocks instead of iceberg

flat sedge
#

now he went from barely living cc to always dying

bleak pine
#

Weirdly enough, Hisuian Avalugg is way smaller than the standard one, and a lot lighter.

#

Goes from an aircraft carrier to Mr. Plow

sharp kernel
#

H avalugg was so forgettable I completely forgot we got an H form

bleak pine
#

A lotta regionals are meh

#

How dare you disrespect Galarian Weezing like that

placid junco
#

oh

#

H qwilfish's name is very dumb

#

er, the evolved form

sharp kernel
#

Wym it’s a good pun

placid junco
#

it is but it also doesn't feel 100% fitting for a pokemon

sand forge
#

I feel like Overqwil would've been a good name for a unique ability

placid junco
#

or a move

sand forge
#

If the Pokémon is poisoned, one-hit-ko them

sharp kernel
#

Salazzle’s ability should have been “if the Pokémon is steel ohko then instead of poisoning them”

#

Boom I just checked steel for 1 entire Gen

placid junco
#

I guess that legends arceus move barb barrage is neat

#

15 power multi hit move that doubles in power if target is statused, and it can inflict poison

bleak pine
#

I still love Obstagoon though.

#

Though, with how it ends up adding a new form of movement to the raccoon dogs (That is, refusing to budge), it does make me wish the Standard Linoone can evolve into a "Standard" Obstagoon

normal cave
#

They should share, they go well together

bleak pine
#

I really did like Hisuian Sneasel

#

Sneasler is a bit dumb but it's a good kind of dumb

#

Especially since Weavile is way, way shorter than Sneasler is

#

Real talk, I feel like there should exist some poison-type moves that can inflict paralysis or sleep

#

Cause there's often a lot of Pokedex entries suggesting how some venoms can infiltrate one's nerves or induce a coma or whatnot

normal cave
#

Hisui sneasel is an improvement over base sneasel, which is already peak pokemon design

#

Sneasler is more of a joke design

#

While weavile is cool, cute, and pretty

#

It's got personality, it's got everything

#

All sneasler has is the novelty of being long

bleak pine
#

Sneasel really is just the de-facto dark-type when it comes right down to it.

normal cave
#

It is peak pokemon imo

#

Weavile is just even better

bleak pine
#

Instead of most dark-types trying to come off as menacing, evil or just 'kewl'

Sneasel really is just a spiteful jerk and that's alright.

last musk
#

I honestly think Pokémon lost the memo when it came to Pokémon designs around gen 5, since then I've noticed a higher ratio of designs I just... Don't like

normal cave
#

Mm

#

I liked most of gen 5

bleak pine
#

Personally think they're just getting better, but I can see why

last musk
#

It might just be the 3d throwing me off but

normal cave

Gen 8 was when design stopped clicking for me

bleak pine
#

Torkoal

normal cave
#

I just

#

Did not vibe with gen 8

#

But that probs has to do with me dropping the franchise before gen 8

last musk
#

What's odd to me about this gen is I like most of the pre evos

bleak pine
#

We all hit some low points with Pocket Monsters, yeah

last musk
#

Then I look at the final stage and go "wtf went wrong"

bleak pine
#

It was 4 for me, but I got back into things with Black/White

last musk
#

My low point was 6, but I also was feeling eh about 5

normal cave
#

4 gave me weavile and staraptor

bleak pine
#

Yeah, it happens. I still dunno what to think about Hattrene.

#

Meanwhile Impidimp is the opposite

last musk
#

4 gave me fire wukong

normal cave
#

I could not care less about anything in gen 4 not named weavile and staraptor

I am happy

Goes from some shrieking gremlin, to... friggin' Aku, I guess

#

Raptor is my 2nd fave birb, was first for a looong time

normal cave
#

As I was saying

#

Raptor was one of my top faves

#

And weavile is my no1 fave

#

Gen 5 gave me volcarona and Mienshao

#

Weavile, Furret, and Mienshao are p equal in terms of how much I like them

#

Weavile takes top 1 but the other 2 are p much the same

Sableye suppprter in pokemon unite...

Oh that’s the little gremlin’s use? Huh

#

I really should start look into Pokémon that I don’t use

pseudo goblet
maiden flax

but he looks like my type of support

like in dota my most used supports are disruptor, lich and jakiro

disruptor has this ability which lets him send an opponent back to where they were 5 seconds ago and god is it lovely

maiden flax
#

blissey is essentially the babysitting support, the one which pretty much has to stick to your friends to be useful

pseudo goblet
#

Yes deadinside

maiden flax
#

but yeah, i generally dont play healing support in mobas XD

#

the supports i play generally are more offense oriented, the ones which mess with the opponent in some way

pseudo goblet
#

Same situation with me and big boi Mamoswine

#

Maybe it was during times me and my friend play together but I often think of myself as ‘the sacrifice’ lol

maiden flax
#

so

#

sableye's big thing

#

is he steals

pseudo goblet
#

Keep that thing away from my stash peepoS

maiden flax
#

thief lets him take stuff

#

knock off knocks them off the opponent

#

and he can do this, twice 😄

#

also makes it so the opponent cant immediately pick it up

#

oh god feint

#

lmao it's a mine

pseudo goblet
#

Items? Points? Soul?

maiden flax
#

points

#

the gremlin also turns invis

pseudo goblet
#

So we re stuck with the Halloween map gimmicks… permanently…

#

FUCK angerydognoises

maiden flax
#

he can also set fake points on the ground

pseudo goblet
#

Wait so the gremlin drops them and also take them directly

maiden flax
#

(note they arent actual points)

maiden flax
#

not very, but they do slow you down and the gremlin can see around them

#

confuse ray might be better

pseudo goblet
#

Like, able to see the enemy on map with the mines monkaGIGA

pseudo goblet
#

Guess the ‘eye’ part in the name does do something

maiden flax
#

confuse ray makes it so your opponent gets taunted by the nearest pokemon near them

this includes and in fact, prioritizes allies

maiden flax
#

becoming visible if he attacks

#

so get prepared to get jump scared

#

he can also go invis with shadow sneak

#

makes him hit harder but youd have to sacrifice knock off for it

#

so i think knock off is just better lol

#

the gremlin is here to steal all your points lol

#

just the sheer jump scare of him appearing out of nowhere, using knock of, taking your stuff and then running away will be hilarious

pseudo goblet
maiden flax
#

shadow sneak will allow him to go invis in front of enemies though so maybe that will be nice instead of knock off if you decide to go harass their speedster

pseudo goblet
#

OH boi…

#

More idiotic speedster ally moments…

maiden flax
#

he's here to harass the speedster, steal all their points and then run lol

#

like 90% of this gremlin's plan is to steal from you and then make a break for it lol

pseudo goblet
#

Wait so, they made em a bomber and a spy but it can’t be both at the same time?

maiden flax
#

so its move are

prankster, makes him invis if no opponents around when using a skill, stays invis for a few seconds in front of the opponent

thief
steals aeos points
into
shadow sneak or knock off
shadow sneak turns invis even if opponent is around and gives more move speed, also lets it deal bonus damage, if you go out of invis you can shadow sneak again if not interrupted
knock off, dash (forwards and back) with a short stun, like a millisecond worth of stuff, if they have none the opponent is stunned for a bit longer, can be used a second time after the first where it turns into a swipe instead, shoves the opponent and knocks off aoes points, opponent cant pick up aoes points for a few seconds, also stuns same rule applies, both moves make him take less damage while he is using it

pseudo goblet
#

I’m aiming SCP-3108 at the little gremlin peepoDetective

maiden flax
#

astonish
decreases movement speed, makes you deal more damage and movement speed decrease if used from behind

feint attack or confuse ray
feint attack
3 charges, fast recharge, can see around the fake points, the fake points explode upon contact dealing a DOT and decreases movement speed, apparently upgrades makes them drop more aoes points if DOT is active when they die
confuse ray
deals damage and makes opponent confused, basic attacking the nearest pokemon, priority: ally pokemon, wild pokemon, user's team

#

for upgrades
knock off makes him heal if he picks up aoes energy after using knock off
shadow sneak heals while active
feint attack makes oppo drop more orbs when they die while DOT is active
confuse ray gives opponent more movement and attack speed while confused

pseudo goblet
#

Not gremlin, it’s a Troll ConcernedFroge

Judging by all this, I’m guessing it’s very frail? peepoDetective

||These pokemon being mediocre is the biggest let down of this gen.||

#

The knights that is

vagrant steppe
#

Is this the first time a Pokemon game is actually getting reasonable review scores? Wild

#

It's mostly getting 75s, 7.5/10s, and whatnot

placid junco
#

Aside from a 10/10 and 9.7 from review sites I’ve literally never heard of

vagrant steppe
#

Eurogamer even gave it a "Do not recommend at this time"

#

Saying the environment is lifeless and the limitations hold it back

Oh, got it

Stop that

So

#

Shiny odds

#

Like straight up actual bonified shiny odds

#

And not the speculation we had until now

fading stratus
#

Didn't base shiny rate change to 1/4000 instead of 1/4096

sharp kernel
sleek sky
#

brain check
that means if you want new legendary ride IV and nature
you gotta restart the whole game?

maiden flax
outer eagle
#

thankfully you should have mints for IV/Nature customization, right?

#

Yes those are back

Did I do good this time blob3c

Dang… steel tech with physical sync move…

Really would appreciate a Steel unit with Special nuke DENA

Or give me Raihan at least…

#

The games are officially out in Australia now I think

mighty storm
#

I dont have Australian Money 😦

placid junco
#

Lol

Lmao even

Kotaku blaming SV performance issues on the switch itself

#

Rather than gamefreak being terrible at optimization

warm sky
flat sedge
#

Optimization issue

#

There's some really nice games on the switch

vagrant steppe
#

Yeah the switch can run Nier and BoTW

#

This is just them not trying

flat sedge
#

Funny how nothing has still peaked botw yet

sharp kernel
#

botw isnt the best example, when the game lags when too many enemies are on the screen lol

#

nier idk about, but I would assume they made some extreme cuts graphically from its console version to get it running on the switch

vagrant steppe
#

I dunno, there's very few times I've played BoTW and it lagged like hell

#

Everything I've seen suggests SV lags like hell the entire time

sharp kernel
#

That would be interesting to see. I remember SwSh had lag in the overworld due to the pokemon spawning on and off, but not in like the cities

vagrant steppe
#

Well note there's really no actual cities in SV

#

There's effectively no indoors outside of limited story areas

#

That was a big thing the reviews were disliking

#

And battles are definitely laggy as hell. As is exploration

#

Apparently the gyms are just open fields too

#

And the villain bases are auto battle minigames

placid junco
#

I don’t really mind the open air gym idea

outer eagle
#

ok so...
what about dungeons

placid junco
#

But it also limits cool setpiece gyms

outer eagle
#

do they have any

placid junco
#

As forgettable as Ramos was in XY his gym was still cool

vagrant steppe
flat fractal
#

so is this just another yearly released pokemon game with little to no content?

vagrant steppe
#

Sounds like it

flat fractal
#

they havent learned their lesson from swsh?

outer eagle
#

learnt what?

#

that it will sell anyways?

placid junco
#

They can release whatever they want and it’ll sell gangbusters regardless

vagrant steppe
#

Yeah Pokemon games sell insane regardless of quality

placid junco
#

I just kinda enjoy the ride myself

It’s not like I can make any difference in game freak deciding to just coast

vagrant steppe
#

This one will get some praise, some bad feedback, but it'll outsell SwSh and they'll repeat next year for a game that's even less polished

flat fractal
#

it's just crazy with the dex cuts, you'd expect more care given to the actual game

placid junco
#

I’m at least grateful we aren’t getting literally yearly mainline games

vagrant steppe
#

I've seen reviewers go "you can turn down overworld trainer battles when you think your team is getting too strong, it helps with keeping the challenge" and that's the funniest thing to me

outer eagle
#

i have the odd feeling that BDSP's artstyle was so scuffed because GF doesn't have the competence to translate all those dungeons and non-linear pathways into logical 3D mazes

placid junco
#

I feel like the opposite should be the case

vagrant steppe
#

"If you ignore the gameplay loop of the game, you can actually enjoy the game"

flat fractal
#

also is it as easy as swsh

vagrant steppe
#

Yeah you should be underleveled if you ignore all the trainers. Not forced to ignore them to remain on the level curve

flat fractal
#

all I ask for is a harder playthrough

placid junco
#

BDSP as a whole was so scuffed because they didn’t even give enough fucks to make it themselves

vagrant steppe
#

Nothing I've seen yet suggests there's any real challenge

#

Hell, they cut SET MODE

#

That one was funny too "Just always press B"

#

Also, disobedience applies to all Pokemon now, not just traded ones

placid junco
#

Lmao what

vagrant steppe
#

So you can't get lucky and catch some guys on the wrong side of the map and go do the gyms that way

placid junco
#

That makes sense I guess

vagrant steppe
#

It's to punish you for attempting that I guess? But it really limits the open world idea

crimson moat
#

wait so disobedience applies even if you want to go after the bigger gym leaders?

#

why

placid junco
#

I admit I’m still kind of looking forward to SV but that’s because I am too much of an optimist and/or too easy to please

vagrant steppe
#

I guess realistically you could b-line it straight to the 8th to get the last badge if you really wanted to do that

#

But that sounds... Dumb

crimson moat
#

But like
You also have to deal with the obedience mechanic screwing you up if you even try to approach the level of what you are fighting

outer eagle
#

doesn't the obedience threshold only apply for traded mons

crimson moat
#

Read above

vagrant steppe
#

Not anymore

crimson moat
#

So they make the game "open world"
But not only do they not provide level scaling, they then double down on making sure you would not dare try certain out of order thigns

#

Like yeah you could probably get away with a gym or two above, but now beelining for the last gym or so is an immense pain

vagrant steppe
#

Remember this is the company that said nuzelocks are equivalent to hacking

placid junco
#

As much as I do want to get scarlet it’s mainly because I am probably part of game freaks expectations for older players lol

Easy to please and fans of the series

#

It does really suck that GF continues to do the bare minimum improvements

vagrant steppe
#

Man I'm really sad to hear that there's really no cities to explore

#

There's alleyways and the illusion of cities, but you can't just go into buildings

placid junco
#

That seems really dumb

vagrant steppe
#

Yup. Designing interiors is too hard, so they're not doing it anymore I guess

placid junco
#

One step forward, 5 steps back, as is usual for game freak I guess

vagrant steppe
#

Not like SwSh really had cities either

#

But at least you could go in the 5 buildings in each town

placid junco
#

Pretty much yeah

vagrant steppe
#

Man remember how Hoenn every city had a unique pallete for the interior of the houses

twin shard
#

Those are a lot harder to do in 3D tbf

vagrant steppe
#

And Fortree architecture was different than Pacifidlog or Sotopolis

placid junco
#

I admit I’m still probably gonna get scarlet (I still do not understand why anyone would ever want to buy both versions)

#

Game freak really just needs to be an actual real video game company in 2022

Instead of the indie team with the largest budget known to mankind

sharp kernel
#

Wasn’t bdsp not even developed by GF?

placid junco
#

Ye

vagrant steppe
#

Even 1/3rd of that could make every Pokemon house feel unique

#

Hell, 1/5th

placid junco
#

BDSP was done by an outside team

It was their first time ever doing a game as head developers iirc

vagrant steppe
#

It doesn't take much to make cool interiors

placid junco
#

They were always a support studio before

twin shard
#

Animal crossing also doesn’t use as much bandwidth in terms of research and development

sharp kernel
#

Also, hard to say this game wasn’t taken care of, when we’re legitly getting everything people loved about PLA, if they didn’t care, we would have gotten another basic Pokémon template/encounters

vagrant steppe
#

We got like a few PLA features

twin shard
#

Pokémon is trying to cover too many things nowadays, just go back to 2D nyaruhodo

vagrant steppe
#

But we can't even do overworld catching from PLA

placid junco
#

Now if only they could add everything about the games before that people liked

vagrant steppe
#

You can throw a ball, but it starts a battle as opposed to going straight into the catching sequence

crimson moat
#

"Set Battle isn't a thing in Spain specifically"

placid junco
#

Lmao

crimson moat
#

"Nobody expects the Spanish Regression"

vagrant steppe
#

But apparently there's like 0 actual interiors

#

Hell, look at Morrowind. 20 years old and has seem less transitions from inside to outside and actually has unique interiors

#

And then Skyrim, which is 10 years old has even more and is on the switch

twin shard
#

With the time they have to pump out each game, I’d be surprised if they’ll try to do any interior design

vagrant steppe
#

Not saying these are good games, but even they have the content a game made in 2022 should have

#

Yeah, it's really the fact that every new gen is a rush job, less time spent than the last

twin shard
#

With designing new Pokémon, I’m surprised they even had time to write dialogue

vagrant steppe
#

I mean they used the Team Skull twist two ||actually three|| times in a row

placid junco
#

This is genuinely one of those few development situations where just throwing more people at the problem might at least alleviate it partially

sharp kernel
#

I think the Pokémon company probably pushing PLA out and then expecting GF to turn around and apply a similar engine to the new Gen was an issue waiting to happen

placid junco
#

Yep

vagrant steppe
#

PLA was Game Freak

sharp kernel
#

Yeah that’s the point

vagrant steppe
#

BDSP wasn't, PLA was

sharp kernel
#

GF just made PLA

#

So after PLA their time for the new Gen had to be ridiculously short

vagrant steppe
#

Yup, should have waited longer between releases and learned the right lessons from PLA

crimson moat
#

But they already learned the important lesson from SwSh

#

It will sell regardless

vagrant steppe
#

Yup

#

See I would have preferred PLA's monster hunter style over the open world if they were just gonna half ass the open world

placid junco
#

If only they could learn the lesson that if they make an actually good game it’ll sell even better

vagrant steppe
#

At least then we could have had one city to explore

sharp kernel
#

I can just download the JP version for the game and play it right away when I get home yeah?

vagrant steppe
#

Give us a hub city that expands overtime and then make the routes like PLA

sand forge
vagrant steppe
#

Gamefreak has also been doing 3d games for over 10 years now

#

X and Y were 2013

twin shard
#

It isn’t a small indie company but their team headcount definitely feels like one and they have 2-4 years to complete it

placid junco
#

Gen 6 and 7 were perfectly adequate given they were handheld games

vagrant steppe
#

That's entirely on gamefreak tho

placid junco
#

Yeah game freaks issue’s absolutely partially stem from refusing to expand their teams to a reasonable number

twin shard
#

And there was a split in teams after X and Y (or during?) which makes it worse

vagrant steppe
#

Like they don't get to go "Oh our team is small" as an excuse

vagrant steppe
#

Pokemon is the largest media franchise IN THE WORLD

#

As in, bigger than Disney

placid junco
#

Game freak is one of the few cases where “just throw more people at it lol” is a viable solution

twin shard
vagrant steppe
#

They easily could hire more people per game

placid junco
#

Better games will sell better

sand forge
#

Thanks for the input

twin shard
#

It’s difficult with a small team

placid junco
#

Then make the team bigger

twin shard
#

They won’t increase team headcount

sand forge
#

The small team is self-imposed

#

Because of corporate greed

twin shard
#

Therefore don’t expect too many fancy things

placid junco
#

I don’t think their asking for too much lmao

vagrant steppe
#

But that shouldn't be the case from... Again, the biggest media franchise in the world

crimson moat
#

I mean I can accept that these games will forever be stagnant, but are we calling moderate overworld design "fancy?"

sand forge
#

Or not constantly slashing features

vagrant steppe
#

At the end of the day I'd just like the games to feel like modern rpgs

twin shard
#

From their pov it’s really more about cost and thinking that their investment in extra people won’t translate to as many extra sales as just pumping out games

flat sedge
#

Literally most successful media franchise ever btw

crimson moat
#

Correct, but suggesting to lower expectations just makes the problem worse

placid junco
#

^

crimson moat
#

Especially after... we already have

vagrant steppe
#

We've lowered them time and time again

twin shard
#

My suggestion is to lower expectations because they’re not going to change how they’re running if they still see success

sand forge
#

This what having childhoods in a vice does to a company

vagrant steppe
#

With how big the franchise is, if everyone was hoping for the best, we'd have wanted SwSh to be a proper fully voiced open world game

#

But I'll just take a finished Pokemon game that doesn't look and run like shit now

#

And even that seems to be asking too much

crimson moat
#

And my suggestion is just to go play Showdown instead

vagrant steppe
#

Yeah honestly

sand forge
#

Ye

twin shard
#

All of this because Pokémon decided they wanted strict release schedules and 2 barebones teams

vagrant steppe
#

Thing is, I loved PLA

placid junco
#

Why even make two versions anymore

vagrant steppe
#

Like it has a lot of issues

placid junco
#

I get some people buy both

crimson moat
vagrant steppe
#

But I was thinking "this could be a start of a strong reboot for the series"

sand forge
#

Give us an Elder Scrolls online-style Pokémon mmorpg

#

NOW!

crimson moat
#

Like Frontiers, for all its problems, is giving Sonic fans hope that there will be legitimate improvement from hereon out now that there's a formula in place people really like.

#

This, would be like if the next Sonic game to come out was Forces 2

twin shard
placid junco
#

Complacency and refusing to throw reasonable amounts of people at the series is why pokemon improves at such a stagnant pace

crimson moat
#

Guessing it also played a factor in why Journeys fell apart

placid junco
#

As much as I love the series and am probably gonna get scarlet at some point
I still want it to be better

twin shard
#

I mean, I stopped buying those games long ago, why do you guys still buy it if you know it just got worse nyaruhodo

#

If sales really get bad then maybe they’ll improve

crimson moat
placid junco
#

Sales will never get bad though

#

At best they’ll stagnate

#

And Pokémon sales stagnating literally means nothing with how well they sell

crimson moat
#

You cannot reasonably expect to cause a boycott over this without something on par to Kanye

#

And I am not buying the game, but accept that I am one person in a huge ass marketplace

twin shard
#

Then move on to another ip, if people still buy this then it shows that people still want it and nothing will change

crimson moat
#

I move on to Showdown

placid junco
sand forge
#

Also there are people who are seemingly ok with the repeated declines in quality, which is weird to me

crimson moat
twin shard
#

That’s how the company thinks and people are just too invested for no reason

#

I’m saying in general

placid junco
#

People are attached to a series they like

Whoda fucking guessed

twin shard
#

People are attached and buy every game, games get worse, and even if they’re worse, people are attached so they still buy

#

So from their pov it doesn’t matter

#

There’s no need to get better

placid junco
#

Pokémon is a series with such overwhelming momentum even if a lot of people stop buying it doesn’t matter

So they decide to enjoy the games anyways

crimson moat
#

i'm glad I never fell into that kind of attachment

sand forge
#

That's utterly bizarre to me

crimson moat
#

Last time I did that was 11 years ago and COD Ghosts was thankfully a mistake I made early

sand forge
#

I like things if they are good, not because they were once good

flat sedge
#

I enjoy showdown more

#

Let's me do the pokemonning without playing the fallen-off games

placid junco
#

Some people just have lower standards or are easier to please MikuShrug

It sucks, but I admit i still enjoy it

I’m still not 100% committed to getting scarlet or violet but I’m still very much considering it

#

I never really enjoyed the multiplayer part of Pokémon so showdown is less appealing to me

sand forge
#

Thankfully the parts of Pokémon I enjoy are the designs & ecologies

#

Which I don't need the games for

placid junco
#

This whole conversation is kinda why I’m on the fence despite being pretty confident I’d enjoy the, regardless (I fully admit to being easy to please)

twin shard
#

Now if enough people agree with you guys and don’t buy the game because they don’t feel it’s worth their money, then gf will have to re-evaluate

outer eagle
#

Pirate it thencheems

placid junco
#

And tons of people do

twin shard
#

Wait I thought we weren’t allowed to suggest pirating here

sand forge
#

Can't link or promote pirating links I think

placid junco
sand forge
#

But I might be wrong

#

I don't pirate currently commercially available games because I CBA figuring out how

placid junco
#

That’s part of why for me also

But I also just don’t pirate games period unless I can’t reasonably obtain them legitimately for at or below their original price

twin shard
#

I pretty much only pirate if I know the game is a mess and I just want to experience it firsthand

#

Which has been true for pretty much every Pokémon release for a couple years

sand forge
#

Also on the topic of Pokémon ecology

#

Toucannon looks nothing like Pikipek or Trumbeak

vagrant steppe
#

Unfortunately Pokemon is a franchise a lot of people have an investment in since childhood

#

My not buying the game won't cancel out a guy who knows it's bad and gets it anyways' purchase

#

People have a large emotional attachment and wanna get the games or at the very least see them be good

placid junco
#

Yeah
I admit I’m kind of in the emotional attachment category myself

And that’s a huge part of why I’m so conflicted about it

sharp kernel
#

What negative reviews are you guys referring to btw? All of the big websites have something similar to "This game does more to push the games forward than any game in recent memory"

#

The biggest complain as stated is the optimization

vagrant steppe
#

A lot of them are saying "the game is fine for a Pokemon game" basically

sharp kernel
#

which, welcome to AAA gaming companies. Call of duty just had the biggest disaster launch of all time

vagrant steppe
#

Polygon's review was particularly not super favorable

#

IGN's too

placid junco
#

I should probably give PLA a try at some point

sharp kernel
#

IGN's review isn't done from what I see

#

Also Polygon said "Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's open world is a facade" while then saying "We wanted the game to be more linear so we don't get into fights we're not ready for"

#

like what

vagrant steppe
#

The open world is a facade tho

#

You can't go off to do what you want because you're super underleveled and there's no scaling

#

And you can't even go catch a mon to breeze through it with because of the obedience changes

#

There's effectively a correct route and the only way to give yourself a challenge is forcefully ignore it

sharp kernel
#

level scaling isn't a breathing and living world btw

#

if life was an rpg, i can't go fight a lion a level 1 scrub

silver vigil
#

Wait is there no like

vagrant steppe
#

It'd take all of an hour to make it so each gym leader has 8 teams

silver vigil
#

low level versions of mons in each area so you can get stuff early

vagrant steppe
#

One per level order

#

There are

#

Well they're scaled like regular routes

#

Areas have a set level minimum and maximum

#

And it's like 5-6 levels difference

#

So you can't go straight to the ice area or whatever and go catch a cetoddle

silver vigil
#

So say I have like the first badge and go halfway across the map or smth, I can get like a level 15 Hatenna among the big bois

vagrant steppe
#

Nope

#

Nothing like that

silver vigil
#

Wtf

#

What’s the point then

vagrant steppe
#

The illusion of an open world

#

They can claim there's one because technically there's one, but you've gotta do the open world in order

silver vigil
#

Why couldn’t they just like

#

patches of grass in each route to account for that

#

or just sectioned off corners

vagrant steppe
#

Hell, there's not even nretoutrd that open up once you level up the legendary

silver vigil
#

say for an intended lategame area you’d have like idk, Golems in the ‘main’ point that you’d expect people to go through by just walking through the area

#

but go off the path a bit and you’ll find geodudes so you can get it early

vagrant steppe
#

Like you know how in old games there were places that you couldn't accent until you got X HM that'd be on the early routes?

#

Like, well, Mt Coronet and having new paths opened by strength and stuff

#

There's apparently basically nothing like that either

vocal torrent
#

Seriously they would get better mileage if their open world is on 2D sprites

silver vigil
#

||is actually obtaining the legend also locked behind story||

vagrant steppe
silver vigil
#

vagrant steppe
#

||You "level it up" at a point and it eventually becomes the legendary||

||But you just find him chilling on a route||

#

He's in your party from the start

silver vigil

no I get it’s with you the whole game

vagrant steppe
#

You just can't use him until X arbitrary time

silver vigil

I mean like obtaining obtaining it

#

wtf

vagrant steppe
#

||Nah, it's just given to you||

silver vigil
#

I fucking love everything to do with the box legends and ||paradox nerds||

This clip does make getting the game day 1 a much easier choice

#

Still kinda undecided though

last musk
#

Guaranteed it's cause that bridge either has too high res textures or has way too many polygons

#

Game freak notoriously does not optimize assets

sand forge
#

Next game: removed all hi-res objects with low-res versions

placid junco
#

One person I know is suggesting Yuzu is to blame

#

But MikuShrug

placid junco

I admit to still being skeptical but I can totally see it yeah

Handheld mode is something I don’t use much

last musk
#

I only use handheld

sharp kernel
#

I only use handheld too, I’d be interested to know though if this is on the switch lite devices though

#

I have the OG switch

#

And I heard the switch lites were way worse

vagrant steppe
#

Nah, they said regular switch

#

That's a normal switch rendering

outer eagle
#

hard to imagine switch lite being way worse

vagrant steppe
#

The switch lite runs the same hardware as the og switch

#

It just doesn't have the tv stuff

placid junco
#

In this case given the switches ability to run way more intense games much better

Gamefreak just doesn’t optimize games huH

vagrant steppe
#

Also they specified launch-era switch

#

It's the regular one

But fr, how does it run that bad

ok but the "unhappy" part, what

sand forge

You've literally complained about people posting spoilers.

How is this difficult for you?

Have some minor amount of respect, or empathy, or whatever for other people and have a grace period for posting obviously spoilery shit in this channel

mighty storm
#

when was I unhappy?

sand forge

Love how you're completely avoiding the very obvious point

mighty storm
placid junco
sand forge
#

we have a spoiler channel for a reason.

#

so that people who don't want to have stuff spoiled can still come to this channel to talk about pokemon

#

The fact that the game got released in Australia has no bearing on this

#

It's really not difficult

placid junco
#

I absolutely do think it’s silly they haven’t revealed the starter evos officially but still excited to learn them naturally

sand forge

placid junco

Usual courtesy spoiler is 2 weeks anyways

yeah I cant be bothered to either walk in the dark for physical release, or wait till 12 o clock (Afternoon) to not get to play the game until AFTER I walk a mile to gamestop and back cheems

#

so I just said "fuck it, digital purchase"

#

I did get Scarlet btw, because volcarona is baby

placid junco
#

Time to spend the right of the night deciding if I wanna wait until Christmas or not to get scarlet lmao

mighty storm
#

Scarlet is better version ❤️

sharp kernel
#

Scarlet is better for comp

#

At least for expected early meta

#

Violet has the cooler ||paradox|| imo

#

||iron hands|| ftw

placid junco

pseudo goblet

#

that's the joke

pseudo goblet
#

Ah

maiden flax
#

God loaded dice is wack

pseudo goblet
maiden flax
#

And it makes bullet seed and the like if you rolled 3 or lower you get like a 50/50 shot at either hitting 4 or 5 times

#

Naturally population bomb is still better with wide lens cause you chances of hitting 0 is 1% compared and to hit 10 is still roughly 90%

#

Wait i made a mistake with population bomb and loaded dice

#

And i missed the 0-6 minus to population bomb

#

So its actually a 90% chance to hit 4-10 times
A 1/7 for 10 times after the 90

outer eagle
#

Damn so even worse KEKW

placid junco
#

It should work afaik

tacit sphinx
#

tacit sphinx
#

Like when you’re running around with them

placid junco
#

The starters are shiny locked I know that much

tacit sphinx
#

Anyone got a better naming theme?

swift jasper
#

mitzy is perfect

placid junco
#

I see no better name than honoring your beloved companion

tacit sphinx
#

Hold up

#

This cat doesn’t turn into a furry or some shit does it

placid junco
#

I actually have no idea

#

I haven’t seen the evolutions

swift jasper
#

tacit sphinx
#

Because if it does then Mitzy will sound weird

swift jasper
tacit sphinx
#

Fucc

pseudo goblet
#

swift jasper
#

tacit sphinx
#

You know what

#

I’ve never done artists

placid junco
#

For sword I did herbs/spices and eventually foods

So I gotta figure out my naming scheme

swift jasper

Drinks

Nemona seems comically gay for the protagonist already

tacit sphinx

So i found out that playing on handheld mode increases my fps

Seems kinda obvious but idk why i never tested it before

Playing the new Pokémon, games visually fine rn, few moments where the shadows get absolutely crunched and stairs are just ramps re textured so your ankles get clipped through them but otherwise fine
