The Palworld discourse really made them break the "in case of emergency, release pokemon Z" button

If anything it made them go ‘hold off on announcing Unova or other remakes that will take up November’

Because announcing ‘new game in a year or a year and a half’ and nothing else is not something they normally do.

And then considering everyone thinks Switch 2 is this year or early next…

Maybe they are saving it for a console reveal?

 

[Two Dollars]

Wait, did people actually think gen 5 remakes were happening? We just got gen 4, and there’s always several years between remakes.

Anyway, I’m interested in more Legends, but I don’t really care about Kalos. I don’t dislike it, it’s just the least interesting region from the “good” games to me.

I’ve always assumed every company just pays one dude to ‘leak’ stuff just to fuck with people honestly

 

[Catgirl Tyranid]

Since this is the only real relevant thread, I just want to vent about Niantics nonsense regarding Origin Palkia and Dialga.

What the fuck is with the cost on their Adventure Abilities, and what sane person would even use "Roar of Time" over just buying another lucky/piece/incense?

5 candy of a legendary Pokémon, which mind you, raiding is the only way to consistently get them and if remotes are your only option, they cost cold hard cash to get, same goes for rare candies, and 5k stardust, which isn't a lot but without weather boosts or bonus dust species is effectively 50 fucking catches. If you pinap the legendaries, that's effectively $2 a use, $4 a use without the pinap, then fucking stardust. Why would I spend $2 to get 12 more minuets on any applicable item when it costs less to fucking buy another one?

Spacial Rend is so close to being really fucking awesome, a spawn range boost would be useful as fuck when I'm actively out playing, but again, $2-$4 for 10 fucking minutes of range extension. Make it an hour, bare fucking minimum, or eat my ass you hack frauds.

It's like you expect a mobile game company to be ethical or something instead of a cash grabbing, greedy leviathan with a buggy app that's more trouble than it's worth to play.

My god. Everything about it was corporate as fuck but never in a billion years did I think they were going to finally give Zygarde the medical healthcare he needed.
Get well soon, Zygarde. You're gonna need it.

Yes

We just got gen 4, and there’s always several years between remakes.

In fairness, there has been. It will be 3 years in November.

 

[Friendly Primarina]

You would think it would be any other generation since that has been relatively recent.

11 years and 3 generations. Roughly the same as between Emerald and ORAS.

Seems like a pretty shit reveal trailer legends arceus showed some gameplay and starters with its reveal trailer while with this one there’s nothing here except the promised hint of expanding az’s story due to title, lumiose city and pikachu. This trailer seems rushed and suspicious. Hell even the reveal trailer for sc/vi showed some in game footage and starters rather than a weird concept art trailer this seems really weird

 

[Party Hat Wurmple]

pokemon legends kalos holy shit
Megas are back

Sorry but after gen 9, Megas can suck a dick. Terastilizing is a much better gameplay mechanic in every way, shape, and form. It's completely soured me on megas. It's the happy medium TPC was always looking for. Shakes up the meta with minimal effort. Just OP enough, but in a fun way. The best Megas were the ones that changed types anyway.

 

[6MillionCoofs]

Honestly can they just tease BW remakes only to do anything but forever please?

Unova Stans being mad and dissapointed is beyond funny.

 

[Squawking Macaw]

God I hate mobile "games".

In all honesty tho, sorry for your loss Uniggies

I can't speak for all of them, but I'm personally happy my favorite region won't be desecrated just yet.

They'll be spending this year without a new release at least, let's see if that helps the games' quality

This is single player, I want flashy shit.

Competitive Pokemon multiplayer will still have Terra Annihilape and Incineroar for the next 2 years until Gen 10 comes out.

 

[Howling Janny Dog]

I just hope the controls, battle mechanics, and dex completion are improved from Arceus. But maybe I'm jinxing it.

New hardware leads to issues. Every time.

Well I mean Unova IS called "Issue" region in Japanese

 

[AskeDead]

Can’t even imagine being excited for a new legends game. Arceus was one of the worst games I’ve ever played. Pokemon fans do love their slop though

 

[Party Hat Wurmple]

That's why Dynamax was for. Fun in game. Terrible mechanic otherwise.

I too cannot wait for the November release of Pokemon Hanging Black and Pokemon White Power.

 

[6MillionCoofs]

I just hope they make completing the dex far less painful and make managing Pokemon way easier.

And make the items for evos easier to get points to buy for.

[Jikka]

Maybe it just seems weird for them to break trend from other release trailers especially with it releasing next year with more of a proof of concept trailer and with no shots of ingame engine footage

It was terrible in game. Because they built raiding around it and allowed you to do that solo.
