cant believe they didnt stream this match
Should the TPCI have everyone redo worlds in case it was a big fluke?
No disrespect to the other competitors, I'm a firm believer that Wolfe losing is a huge fluke and robs Wolfe of truly accomplishing what he's capable of. I've spent the last few minutes in pure disbelief and it just doesn't make sense to me. I've spent the season watching Wolfe play great matches, it's just not fair.
If Wolfe loses again I will face that he didn't deserve to win, but I am just 100% sure it was a fluke and does a big disservice to the Wolfe fans and Pokémon as a whole.

was just so fun seeing megas

when it was z moves, megas all in the same format
that shit is goated
funny thing is

I wasn’t a big fan of Zmoves but they were alright
stone lark
thats why I like playing natdex on smogon
its just every single gimmick from all the generations, entire nat dex
like just everything
lapis light
Dynamax was kinda funny but imo blows in terms of being cool competitively
Haven’t tried terra whatever spelling it has yet
It sounds moronic and lame even though it probably has some neat strategy
stone lark
terra is very good competitvely and stategically
so I enjoy it much more than dynamax
having terra opens up your team building and stategy within a match a lot
but thematically its just not as interesting as megas
lapis light
Idk I just wish Pokémon wasn’t simultaneously the most valuable franchise ever and also one of the most criminally mishandled, actually OW levels of tomfoolery almost imo. They could just release a single PC game or even just on whatever handheld console, and pack four regions in or something (one new and three old), and they’d only have to really find make Pokémon for the one new region
And have good graphics / good stylized graphics
And suddenly would be a top game of all time
stone lark
well thats the thing the mishandling doesnt mean anything
when it still sells
even at 50% potential
its higher than 99% of all other franchises
lapis light
Yeah but imo it’s just a critical loss of actual potential, and that loss of potential shouldn’t be understated
But I get why they just coast yeah
stone lark
like OW at 100% of its potential, is still dwarfed by Pokemon at like 50% potential
lapis light
But I’d rather they just be like “hey yeah we’re working on something big give us 3-4 years” and go kinda dark on some stuff
And then drop a gigabanger when I’m like 27
Than to just every one two or three years to drop in some mediocre new game
All I want is good graphics stylization, reasonable story, and two or more regions in one game
I swear it’s not too much to ask for
stone lark
to its credit, the scarlet violet story was very good
and the actual designs of the mons in gen 9 was very good
like basically all hits
all bangers
but the graphics is always a struggle with gamefreak
lapis light
Imo the gen 9 designs were pretty awful
The ancient and metal Pokémon just look really cheap and eh to me
late walrus
scarlet and violet is my favourite pokemon game tbh
i think the main problem with the games is that they are the backbone of the multimedia franchise and slowing down production means slowing down everything
late walrus
But I’d rather they just be like “hey yeah we’re working on something big give u...
they cant do that because theyd have to justify pushing back like
every other piece of media pokemon has because it all depends on the games
anime, manga, TCG
which like is doable but why would they do that when they can instead keep things as they are and making things
lapis light
Guess so yeah
late walrus
but the graphics is always a struggle with gamefreak
i suspect mostly because they never had the time to properly transfer to a 3D workflow when the transition happened -
stone lark
imo that transition was a mistake in the first place
graphically the franchise peaked for me in BW2
late walrus
hm, i personally think it should have happened but that gamefreak is too small and overworked to have done it properly at the time
or even now
idk i think 3D would have been a good transition if they actually had the time and workforce to hammer out a good direction
by the standards of a game like this gamefreak has an absolutely tiny dev team
stone lark
idk i think 3D would have been a good transition if they actually had the time a...
yeah with how they are now though, the 3D is a clear downgrade from the moving spirtes of gen 5, at least in terms of visual dynamicism and personality for the mons
late walrus
theyre kind of pulling it back
stone lark
yeah like the gen 9 charizard model is better now but, still
just doesnt hit the same for me
late walrus
idk id rather they have the time and resources to improve it
i like the idea of 3D pokemon
also iirc the TCG devs actually help on making the 3D models
fun fact
but anyways i really hope they just keep whatever baseline for the games they have now and try to keep improving it every game because realistically thats the only way they get out of this resource hole
without putting a stop to the march of the multimedia releases
i think SV got a lot of things right but just lacked the resources and time to properly polish it off

I wish I could redeem it just in Pokémon Home to just have it sitting around but I don’t think I can
In case I ever wanted to port them into a future Pokémon game I play lol
stone lark
the mega lucario and mega latios SIR for the new mega evolution set is leaked
also some other full arts
gaunt dune
they dont look as hype without the japanese text
gaunt dune
these new ones just look like regular ex cards
lapis light
That Latios one is sick
late walrus
i kinda like the new ones more
but i never quite liked the older style of special arts to begin with
its also easier to actually read the text on the new style of art 😃
stone lark
New images of the mega sir
The latias and the lucario are shared arts you can see the mega latias at the bottom
I think the art is nice but it definitely doesn’t feel as epic as the old megas

NGL this is shit lol
How did they approve that but not mega flygon
stone lark
I really like it idk
Im a big sucker for designs where the wings are not in their usual place along the back
fuck im imagining
160+ base attack
airilate
tera flying
gaunt dune
I think wings elsewhere is fine but the execution is ugly
stone lark
extreme speed
gaunt dune
Looks like a tera hat
stone lark
I think if it keeps the flyinf type they will give it airilate
gaunt dune
Instantly banned
stone lark
lol
yeah
if megamence got banned
so will dnite with extreme speed
80BP prio + STAB + Tera on a 150+ base attack mon
yah thats instant banned
gaunt dune
Is there going to be tera?
stone lark
im thinking champions
i wonder if they will let you stack the gimmicks
because if you can stack them, then showdown will update natdex as well
gaunt dune
Seems like a headache to play
stone lark
afaik only fanmade designs based on the text descriptions
dnite is the first of the new ones revealed
okokok
mega gardevoir ex sir just got revealed
wow its amazing
gaunt dune
I would totally buy that but I know it's gonna be hundreds of dollars
stone lark

Wait I just had a thought
Eveyone is assuming Dragonite will get airilate
What if it gets gale wings 💀
Gale wings hurricane
gaunt dune

Use to avoid it like the plague

vivid trench
Is the new game good
lapis light
I hear it’s solid
rapid needle
I've watched a couple streamers and it seems pretty good but very different in terms of the battles
late walrus
heard it runs normally on switch 1 which means i might get it lol
lapis light
Hmm nice
late walrus
wolfey video :(
late walrus
yeaaaaaaaaaah
its baffling tho like not in my life would i have guessed wolfey doesnt have access to VIP guest areas
before the video
like wdym THE face of modern VGC has to find his own hidey holes in the conventions and tournaments
they have rooms for casters and VIP guests afaik, i just never even thought to imagine wolfey didnt have access to them
its not the whole problem, but i do think (a little ironically tbh) a big part of the problem is that the organisers are treating him as purely a normal participant and not someone who is the VGC poster boy they actively encourage to be a poster boy
rapid needle
People are way too parasocial
late walrus
for sure :/
late walrus
