Aren't towns in SV pretty much just "glorified menus" with most of those buildings not enterable?

I really like the fused kyurem/reshiram tail...
But that's the original female model, and I'm immediately angry it's gone.
As an aside, I learned in Cobblemon that riding a pokemon prevents drowning, and this is the superior way to encounter things.
I finally found another dhelmise, after seeing one in the distance the other day. I couldn't get to it in time, and it despawned.

I'm wondering if TPC was involved with this knowing Niantic has been shitting the bed for a while (not like TPC gives a fuck)? For the game to hit the 8 billion mark mark last June, $3.5B seems kinda low (maybe I'm wrong).
This was 100% intentional because Niantic knows nobody is buying any cosmetics when they use the new avatars. When I see shit like the picture below and think about how awful most of the Max content was, My MATI comes out and I'm kind of glad Pogo might leave Niantics hands.
And Niantic wondered why January's revenue was bad, and their 2024 revenue was low?! I don't know if the game will get better hearing about Scopley's track record. It'll probably be more p2w, but if it means no more of these fucking awful avatars, fuck it. Not gonna lie, I hardly played Pogo lately (though I'm gonna aim for a good Terrakion and dragons).
Long live the king! Suffah dentractors
They're already crying about wha Scopley is gonna do to the game, but not everyone is butthurt about it. A couple of them are more or less Scopley can't be worse than Niantic.

>but not everyone is butthurt about it.
I think that's partially due to a couple of factors. The first is that Niantic will have to give The Pokémon Company a warning well in advance of any sort of sale since the game uses the Pokémon IP, the second is that these talks are still in the early phases and it could peter out.

I don't know much about IPs laws, but doesn't Niantic have a contract to honor with TPC before it considers selling the game to somebody else? You would think TPC would have some involvement with this because it's their IP. Who knows if this deal goes through or flops? This should be interesting to follow (too bad I can't say the same for the game itself even though I still play it).

I have an open mind. There is no reason for us to pass judgment immediately. I want to see how things work out. People said that Net Ease would make Marvel rivals a miserable money hole and turns out it's not. I am gonna give these new owners a chance. If they have the right idea with the right team then that's what it is.

Going back to the mainline games for a bit, you know what I miss? Being able to go wherever I want and have options which main objectives I want to do. FRLG/RGBY do this around the midgame(where I am now), but I can't recall any other game that gives you this level of freedom until Pokemon went "open world" with SV(and even then it was handled poorly due to out of whack power scaling). The closest I can think of would be DPP where you are given a choice between tackling the Water gym or Fighting gym first, other than that it's railroad city all the way. Once I play romhacks of all mainline games, I would love to play one that gives you actual player choice like a proper RPG should, to see how that would work with Pokemon formula.

From what I remember, you're still railroaded into doing certain events first due to Rockets or HMs. Still a lot more open than the later games.

It's fairly open until the Rocket stuff. It's pretty railroaded at them...

If this happens it'll go full gacha like WWE Champions, the gacha that you'll remember DSP went bankrupt in part because of spending tens of thousands of dollars on it instead of his mortgage on his Connecticut condo.

Checking out more of the TCRF articles for anything new. I casually click on the BW2 page, and uh...
lolwhut
For reference, we got the character design sheets in this leak as well. Check the date, 2011 means that this old design was nipped in the bud VERY quickly and lead to the finalized Iris design in BW2 a year before launch, likely not edited much to avoid further problems.
Iris already seems to be one of the populars with the NSFW/pedo Pokemon art scene, I can only imagine the mayhem that a barefoot, pantyless Iris in this costume would unleash. Almost as bad as Sonic ever taking off his shoes in any official media or material, I can't even imagine the deviancy either of these would bestow upon us. I guess I can't be too surprised considering this is the same studio that gave us canon zoo/pokephilia impregnation/rape lore just casually sitting in the same pile of documents.
For a less degenerate find, it seems that Hilda and Hilbert both started life from the same prototype overworld sprite
They took Lucas from HGSS, trooned him out so he becomes an NPC like girl character, and then made both Hilda and Hilbert from that sprite. Overworld design came first, the final look was finalized rather early on with little details changed here or there until we got a battle sprite, and the final Hilbert and Hilda we know today. Not sure if that original girl sprite they used as a base is in the game anywhere, looks too generic to tell.
The original designs for the gym leaders was already covered back when the leaks were dropping, but I haven't seen anyone post this fantastic piece of artwork yet
It seems not all of these even got as far as getting their overworld or battle sprites made before their designs were changed to look more like the ones in the final game, so this is a very early piece of artwork. Honestly, I like some of these better than the final ones, I would have preferred a nice looking scientist Lenora to a sassy Aunt Jemina Lenora we got in the final game for example.
I'm saving all the new videos that cover the beta builds, just in case. Hope that none of the interesting ones were taken down already, it's been a while since the leaks happened.

Skyla's final irish immigrant design is a definite improvement over the latinx one but hippy (bell bottoms lul) researcher Lenora is better and the Striation Trio actually look like the kids the leaked drafts originally envisioned them as (I don't think anyone ever thought Cilan was only four years older than Iris before these).

Niantic recently announced that they’ve made changes to their accepted items policy for GO Tour: Unova - Los Angeles yesterday, the bag policy is now in-line with the Rose Bowl’s clear bag policy and you’re allowed one portable charger that‘s the size of a smartphone or smaller.
And yes, people really aren’t happy about this. The clear bag policy I can understand to some extent but the battery pack rule is just silly, the highest-capacity battery pack you could probably take to the event is a 20,000 mAh one.

Originally, Zerkom and Reshiram would be sitting on top of a bridge in the menu screen, ala King Kong on top of Empire State Building. This likely means the intro at the start would have had been a 3D cinematic instead of that weird animated movie with N(which was also longer but was cut down for the final game).

I like the animated movie. Does a good job of establishing the backstory of the plot and N's character. Reshiram/Zekrom on top of the bridge just raises questions about whether or not that would be an actual event ingame or something just done to look cool.
