But I don't think it actually ever has been in OU

proven geyser Oct 28, 2024, 8:17 PM

I think what confuses me the most is that while Gastrodon gets the OU type, Pokemon that are known to be OU staples like Blissey don't

#

Latios and Latias get the OU type but have about as many generations in Ubers as OU

Like maybe 1 more

ngl it's a shame people care more about the number of times you hatch eggs/have encounters rather than the total amount of time you spend shiny hunting

which is the reason why people bash on multigame hunts

I don’t think the Teraleak has ruined worldbuilding and headcanons

#

Because yes you could use it as evidence for your theories.

#

But at the end of the day, we the public were never meant to see it. It was scrapped for a reason

#

And I don’t mean the questionable lore pieces

#

So you could argue that since it’s scrapped content it’s not real and thus can be ignored.

#

Like I really doubt Gyarados, Dragonite and Tyranitar are meant to be underlings of Rayquaza now.

#

And Ttar makes no sense

its not a requirement for 1:1 voice acting, but something for when speaking would be nice

Even if it was like voiceless voice acting (think Undertale or Phoenix Wright or Don't Starve)

Every other language:
“am I a joke to you”

#

Yes

#

there's a reason almost every country also teaches english in some capacity

proper iris Oct 29, 2024, 7:31 PM

#

brisk hedge Every other language: “am I a joke to you”

No. I'm literally not a native English speaker.
I haven't had dubbed games ever.

#

Subbed yes

#

But dubbed, to this day, only games made in Brazil.

#

Because it's literally not a thing they do for many many languages

north crow Oct 29, 2024, 7:32 PM

#

oh

proper iris Oct 29, 2024, 7:32 PM

#

And even the subtitling is a thing that only started happening in late 2010s

#

To this day pokemon isn't in my language, and we cope.

#

It still sells amazingly here

#

As it does in many other countries without translation

#

So if so many can enjoy these games not even knowing what the hell the game is about, people can enjoy it even if the dubs aren't in their language

brisk hedge Oct 29, 2024, 7:35 PM

#

People can also enjoy it without voice acting, as they’ve been doing it for years

proper iris Oct 29, 2024, 7:35 PM

#

True

#

But voices would improve a lot

#

Again: remember Piers?

brisk hedge Oct 29, 2024, 7:36 PM

#

Quite frankly, they’re way more important issues that need to be dealt with before we can consider adding voice acting

proper iris Oct 29, 2024, 7:37 PM

#

Is any of those issues related to the sound department?

#

Bc there's different groups of people dealing with different issues

#

Also multiple issues can be solved in one installment

#

Also they've already done voice acting in spinoffs so it's not new

hard plume Oct 29, 2024, 7:49 PM

#

One of the things I do appreciate in Scarlet and Violet is the variety of animations that all the obtainable pokemon have.
They have an idle animation when they are calm, one where they are in battle (some look more subtler than others)
two special animations that you can easily trigger with the syncro machine
four emote animations for various situations (pleased, battle cry, displeased, and shaking off after being cleaned)
Plus, some pokemon have additional animations when they are swimming or flying, not to mention that all of them have proper sleeping animations outside of battle.

#

The only complaint is that I think that there should be some smoother transitions when it comes to going from calm idle to battle idle

#

Some pokemon do have this, but most of them don't and it makes it look pretty jank

proper iris Oct 29, 2024, 7:52 PM

Gotta love those little bits of life breathed into them all like that

proper iris Oct 29, 2024, 7:54 PM

hard plume Oct 29, 2024, 7:56 PM

#

proper iris They have been building that for a while too, bc PLA already had all of that too...

That I think is also cool
considering that PLA was also where they began adding eyelids and mouth flaps to the models.
So when they bring them over to the new game, all they need to do is change the textures.
You already got nearly half the pokedex done.

#

It's the same kind of method they did in Gen 8 with the Gen 7 models, but now instead of models from the 3DS being upscaled for the switch, its models from a switch game getting polished in another switch game

proper iris Why reinvent tree wheel when you can simply improve upon what's already there

If that logic can be applied to gameplay, then it can be applied to modelling too

#

(I also like the quality of life changes they did as well. Removing the middle man to give pokemon nicknames, as well as remembering and forgetting moves is a really smart decision)

Link cables are life savers that should've been created ages ago

proud igloo Oct 29, 2024, 8:06 PM

proper iris Oct 29, 2024, 8:07 PM

#

I feel like keeping them as an alternative to the link cable is acceptable, but as the only way to evolve, absolutely not, we don't all have friends who play the game

proud igloo Oct 29, 2024, 8:07 PM

#

Because I’m sure it was a feature that tried to encourage socialisation, but here’s the cold hard truth

#

Firstly most people don’t have irl friends who play Pokemon

“Dipplin is every bit the perfect baby as Applin, now one of my new favorite-ever Pokemon, and could have only been more "me" with a slightly different type combination, which is a pretty minor point.
