From everything the leaker has show everything about how the game sounds is so unsatisfying, the music, the menu sounds being piercingly loud, the sound mixing, like sound design is important to making a game feel great and it just fucks it up. Call it nitpicking but when I need to mute your game due to how bad your music is I consider that a fuck up.

One thing I noticed in the bit and pieces I caught of the stream was how abrasive the little "found an item" jingle is. It made me uncomfortable every time the player picked up an item, which was unfortunate because during the short time I was watching they found several. It felt like the game was mad and wanted the player to feel bad.
It's such a bizarre thing to screw up because it's been the same few notes every game and they've never screwed it up like this before.

Nintendo Ninjas finally killed the channel. Anybody got an archive of the stream? I'm curious if the numerous graphics errors were fixed or if we still have shit like floating walls and arm bands phasing through trainers' arms.

How did this get past quality control?

someone did us a favor and made a channel for it, best to archive everything before the Ninjas finish the job
 
Apparently, you need enough gym badges to catch certain leveled pokemon, the dude got a message saying that he could catch up to level 25, found a level 27 Sneasel, and it refused to catch it. IDK how true this is, I just read it on Reddit but if it's true, and I assume that is. That is a terrible feature, especially in the wild where over leveled pokmon are supposed to show up...

If you're referring to the water ripples... Those have been a thing in PKM for a while now. Those were used to indicate fishing spots in SuMo. If that's not what you're referring to... *Shrugs*.

He's referring to how the scene went from fishing at a dock to suddenly teleporting you to an open grassy field where there's not a drop of water in sight. Recent games have been pretty good with reflecting the battlefield in relation to where you are in the overworld so an instance like this is, strange to say the least.

One thing I did like was getting to meet the box legendaries and "battle" them very early in the game. It reminded me of Golden Sun, and anything that reminds me of GS is good in my book.

So, probably a late question, but the guy who's streaming is the same as this guy posting? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOPTMwXAH7M

I've got better things to do atm than watch a stream, but I wanted to ask is it his shitty set up causing that lag, or is it the game?

Also, allow me to be a tiny bit optimistic here, even for a moment, but we do see a bridge in the background there, that could indicate a water source in the BG. Not to mention, battle areas are usually determined by the majority area - Like, is there any context to the scene in question? Like, what city is it taking place in? Is it even in a city? Or what? Before I can really say anything on that, I'd like to get more than just 25 seconds of footage in that regard.

Edit:

UGH.

I hate it when people just post 360 pi videos, its so ugly.

Nevermind my last post, got it to work...

Again man, I'm gonna need context. If anything,, I could say that it's the entrance of a town there and they just went outside to battle. 11 seconds doesn't really do the trick.

Can you just link me the vid? I know its the same guy who's uploading those vids - since >female is being used. And the green haired avatar chick too.

Edit 1:

YouTube

www.youtube.com www.youtube.com

Like this?

I understand the complaint, but frankly, I don't even mind this. I mean, yeah, it'd be cool to have them battle in the cityscape, but I can easily just believe that they walked out of the city - They're doing training. I can understand people not liking it, but it's not a major thing to me - Especially considering that it's not too unbelievable that they'd just walk in and out of the city (yeah, they could totally show that, but frankly... *shrugs* not that big of a deal to me)

Also, we do have to remember that these games aren't out yet, any support for the games, or patches to fix small things like this (Like I said earlier, I haven't watched the streams - Is there a location where you fight on a bridge in the game?) - Again, label me as hopefully or as an idiot, feel free to, I deserve it.

The big issue with this mindset is that Game Freak does not push out patches for the games, except for when a game-breaking bug has to be fixed, because of their philosophy that when they ship out a game, it is "Complete", and also to ensure game compatibility with friends.

Yup.

Although to be fair, if they did use the same bridge from that, you'd get people pulling the same thing again.

On a side note, and wanting to get away from this whole headache...

A while ago, I talked about a fan game - And they're working on a fan game where they're including their own version of the wild area. This is only 1/8th of it's planned size so far.

In addition: the difficulty of this area is based on scaling - based on play time in the game.

Seems cool, always wanted to see what a 2d giant safari zone type area would be like for fan games, what is it called?
