Pokémon (Not-So) Griefing Thread - Scarlet and Violet Released with 10 Million Copies in First 3 Days in Buggy States

So Pokemon did an oopsie yet again and accidentally showed an image of West Sea Gastrodon (who's currently not obtainable in SWSH) before deleting it, but as always the internet caught it first.

“LMFAO Pokemon just tweeted out this picture which has pink gastradon buts its not available in the game so then they deleted it. 😂🤣”

Of course some morons are already clickbaiting and saying a """new""" Pokemon form have been leaked.

Might be confirmation that this is about Pokemon Home, then?

Honestly, Gastrodon is an extremely 'whatever' pokemon but I always thought it's West Sea form is more iconic, mainly due to being the first one you see in DPPt. Bit surprising that East is in there but West isn't.

It's had a fairly good life competetively initially, and it's still alright. Power creep got it.

Also it has one of the best non-Kricketune cries and I'll fight anyone who says otherwise.

I mean, if a giant snail monster getting a noisy BJ is your thing, who am I to judge?


Edit: Okay, to be fair, considering the monster the soundbite is representing - A big, friendly, pink sea slug - the sounds (particularly the moistness of it) is very appropriate.

It does sound like it's giving a blowjob like a champ.

Funny autism from the Smogon forums (this franchise needs a Community Watch thread)

There's already a Pokemon thread in Community Watch, although I am surprised there's not more mention of Smogon's community in there.

I was never a competitive battler and I don't check out Smogon at all, but I figured they'd ban Dynamaxing despite the three-turn limit because of some of the Pokemon getting too OP for their own good through it. I don't get why people are freaking the fuck out over it, though.
 
So... Thoughts on the direct?

Edit: Looks like they're adding about 200 of the cut monsters to the roster.

This looks cute and all, but if multiplayer raids are still broken then I'm out. They said they would be releasing a patch but weren't specific about bug fixes. New special raids available after the patch today. Let's see if they fix it. Seems unlikely given their refusal to patch in the past.

They actually cut the national dex so they could sell it to you as DLC. The absolute state of Game Freak, their newest title receives a ton of fan backlash, and they decide the logical course of action is to add DLC to their borderline unfinished game.

You can get them through the free DLC through other means. Not just through home though.

The sad thing about all of this is that if GameFreak delayed the game by a few months, this all would’ve been in the base game. They're not even going to fix the autosave bug either too, I bet.

Seeing as it's a game breaking bug and they announced a patch (but didn't specify what it fixes), I'm expecting they have no choice but to.

Someone didn't even watch the direct, you don't need the DLC to get the updated roster.

I stand corrected, then. I knew about the XY patches because of the save bug at release. How in the hell haven't they patched the raid issues and broken moves for this game yet? I hope that's in the new patch that dropped today.
