The raids are most definitely balanced for groups of multiple players, which is why the NPCs are mostly trash. It makes sense for them to be hard playing them by yourself, much like dungeons and...

I had written a long post with my thoughts on every pokemon line, but it got lost to a random AP error message.

So, instead I'll just make some random hot takes on the extremes:

Favorite new...

This is still subjective though. Even without good story pokemon games to me have always been enjoyable experiences. X and Y, for example, are particularly strong cases of a really weak story but a...

Toxic is constant shitting on the devs as indefensible, lazy, careless, lacking in passion, lacking in attention, among others.

Critiquing an opinion as asinine because it lacks foundation is just...

I think it's fine to express negative opinions, but it's really well past the point where it's not so much that as just toxic fumes on repeat, and that really needs to stop.

This thing where we...

I wonder if Pokemon Company has data on how many people play Pokemon games past the story.

I don't feel strongly one way or the other, personally. While it was cool in Gen 5 to explore half the...

Gigantamax to me is pointless, and just a reason to make another Pikachu/eevee/charizard. To me they’re less about things I want to use and more about things I enjoy fighting and catching in raids...

Finally beat the game last night


Definitely fun all around. The story conflict felt forced, particularly since the conflict with Rose was super forced, but it's a game that really knows how to...

I have Corsola already but don’t know if our times will align. I can discord you when I’m around I guess, see if it works

Opal is exactly what I expected Spritzee to evolve into. Which kind of makes me more pissed is still doesn't have a better evolution option than the abomination that is aromatisse.

I'm kind of...

No disagreement that the giving of HMs or things of that sort could be done more "metroidvania" style to inspire more traveling and exploring, since even though it did exist to a very small degree in...

Different studios have focus on different facets of game development, and as a result you wind up with developers that have different experience and are capable of different things.

That said,...

I’m actually hyped to know what types of abilities and stat distributions we’ll see with new mons, not to mention all the things that open up now that certain overused Pokémon cannot be on every team...

That's not necessarily accurate. Triple A also implies that the game was made by a large studio with large resources, so it's generally the games that are expected to make millions.

It's...

Not that I care much of when people buy things or not, but now I'm also actually curious about the "third version" and how likely it actually is. Moreso because of the success of Let's Go, which...

I’m in the opposite boat where I don’t care that much about the old stuff, and the new stuff looks so great that I can’t wait to be playing this game.

Particularly compared to something like gen...

Vulpix/Ninetales is not in that list of exclusives. Are you guys thinking of Ponyta?

I’ve wondered for months about whether to call my grookie shankey or thwack, as both amuse me equally.

Leaked name for Grookie’s evo? Thwackey. Bahahahahahaha!

If this is real, this is how you...

Not to mention that one segment of exploring that was punctuated by E. Gadd giving reminders every goddamn 30 SECONDS. Even with the hint feature off.

What a pest of a game.

Intelleon looks actually cool in that HD artwork the person posted in the twitter Conekiller mentioned

Everything so far looks so good, but now it's typings and stats that I can't wait to know...

I’m pleased so far. The only design I haven’t liked is the final sobble evo, the sole starter I didn’t care for. This is a good gen!

Next week is more likely, since this weekend is packed already with luigi’s mansion and other releases

Falco is already in the game, I’m good without accordion falco.

Groose is the right answer for a new Zelda character.

Images for promotional material are usually from demo builds, not a final release build. It was the same in the E3 demo where you had all starters in your team plus yamper, wooloo and corviknight.

I don't believe raizard would actually happen when they could just do fat pikazard, mega pikazard, pikazard libre, pikazard wearing other costumes, pink gold baby pikazard, etc.

Probably more of the same wild area lol. If it’s that big there’s no logic in recreating it more than once, when you can just have the player traverse it multiple times.

Really hyped that it’s possible to run into OP Pokémon in the wild. It’s one of the design choices from Xenoblade that I enjoy Design-wise since it gates areas in a more natural way that random...

In sun and moon level 40 is nowhere near as stupid as level 40 in other gens. I specifically recall having Primarina learn moonblast on the team skull complex at level 44, and that was with all...

I find myself strongly disliking Sobble for some reason, it's design just doesn't gel with me even though the personality traits are amusing. I do expect it to probably wind up with the best...

I actually thought FOR SURE that after ponyta walked in there, the rest of the thing would be to tease the Rapidash evolution. I kind of wish they had done that, definitely agree that the point where...
