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

no Sinnoh remake (get fucked, Gen three was last Gen that needed one),

Mmm, I'll disagree with that. Gen 4 had it's issues, like the pacing in the game's dialogue, the lack of fire types in the standard games...

I honestly would be curious how the distortion world would look in a slight upped graphical standing though.

If people really want Game Freak to take more time with their games so everything can be completely polished and all, they really shouldn’t demand a Sinnoh remake this year. Kinda defeats the purpose. Not saying that it won’t happen, just that itd be good to be patient. At least with these expansions, they can just do updates to the current game and not have to make a completely new one.

Oh most definitely, but if you looked at the chat of the direct, you'd see the special people asking for Sinnoh remakes.

TFW if they make a second pass it will go to a full 60 bucks, making this just a third version with extra steps

Still, not as much of a scam as ULTRA CHANGES

That's a bit of an assumption there, again we're in uncharted territory at the moment, so we can't really assume what will happen in the future.

For all we know if there is a second update like that, it could be only 15 or 10 dollars.

Or heck, the best case scenario is if they make a sequel or third version, that they include these areas in them - That'd probably be the best way to go monetarily wise in that regard.

I think the two new Regis might be electric and dragon, though I’m only saying the later cause it’s arm looked like a dragon head.

I agree we are in uncharted waters, no one knows what this future will hold and either way I do think by the end of the switch's life span SWSH will be patched with at least 3 content updates, but economically it makes no sense to release one season pass as 30 with another single pack at 15, for consistency I think it would just make more sense from a business perspective. So it will probably be a "Season Pass 1"(with armor and Crown) and "Season Pass 2"(with whatever that brings)
Either way I prefer this to, say, a third version since I don't have to restart my progress and they can focus on adding to the existing game and not wasting dev time changing content in the main quest

Monetarily wise yes but the level of shit they would get after having players pay 90 bucks for the game and season pass 1 alone might not be worth it. plus if they sell expansions in piece meal like this it's easier for someone to buy over time and also, keep the generation running longer without shoving a new game in stores. sorta like how splatoon or street fighter 5 handled content updates.

Although the dlc look promising but the price tag for them as well as the likely potential of them being packaged in a definitive third version leaves a lot to desire. The best thing about this was the reveal of a MD remake which I am hyped for, especially for a remaster soundtrack. I gotta give props for that DPP remake fakeout with that 2006. I can only imagine the salt.

Regilectric is a fine pun.

Regivolt sounds decent too.

Regishock?

Aight so I watched the direct a while ago and here's some of my thoughts on it:

-PMD DX looks pretty neat! At least Mega evolution was added
-Why did GF name the mentor Mustard???? Why???? Are they gonna name the mountaineer guy Ketchup????
-Avery's design reminds me of a shittier design of those sword and shield twins in the postgame but Klara looks cute
-The underground feature for the expansion packs reminds me of a mix of the ultra wormhole and Sinnoh tunnel features but legendaries can dynamax??
-I'm so glad Venusaur and Blastoise have a Gigantamax form now
-So the national dex cut was an excuse to add more Pokemon as a DLC for more money?? Yikes
-Well great every legendary is getting added so guess that means we'll have a shitty uber players *cough**cough* smogon sets without megas or Z-moves *cough**cough*
-The Galar bird trio look nice but the red regi and evil Moltres look like Yveltal copies
-The deer legendary's design is so weird???? Why does it have an alien body with a deer head??????
-At least GF is making regular updates after the DLC release but will they fix the game breaking glitches?

Overall I like some of the things in the direct but I dislike the purpose of it *cough* the dex cut *cough*

To be fair, they did say that you didn't have to purchase the DLC in order to get the Pokemon through trade (and I believe transfer-would be surprised if that weren't the case). Thing I'm concerned about is Pokemon Home. It comes out next month and we know nothing about it, like what features the app has or even how much it costs.

True, I'm glad that you can trade off the exclusive mons to players without the DLC and I'm also worried about Home. I highly doubt it'll be a single purchase application and it'll be cheap.

I thought Mega Evolution was bad.

@A Welsh Cake's avatar has become bloody hilarious, now.

 

[Overcooked Raccoon]

I seriously can't believe all the autismos who thought that less then three months after the game comes out that GF will do a Gen 4 remake. I'll give GF all the shit they want but you're setting your expectations so damn high expecting more when SWSH has the potential of modern day conveniences of DLC(Or hindrances if you go that route).

I do want to state that while it's nice GF is NOT charging us for being able to get the new pokes (as they can be gotten through trade) it's not really something to add on to an argument of "I'm going to buy this because:"

The expansion pass concept will be absolutely worth it when it gets near a point that eclipses USUM for the amount of pokes in the game. But because we know they've stated not all Pokemon will be in this game (Choice wording of the next games from interviews) it will never reach that point.

 

[Disc]

Also, worth stating: the language of the direct seemed to state that this DLC is replacing a third game. It’s not hard locked in, but they explicitly compared DLC to the third games, and said one advantage is that they can extend the adventure without forcing you to restart it.

 

[Love Machine]

While i would prefer dlc to having a new 3rd edition, I just dont trust gamefreak to not be scum about it.

I mean originally they were unsure if they could update the game for the missing pokemon, so even if they were already planning the expansion pass at that point, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a second set of gen 8 games they would update it just for compatibility reasons and them having more time to add shit.

While i would prefer dlc to having a new 3rd edition, I just dont trust gamefreak to not be scum about it.

they already kinda did by making SWSH 60 bucks, the real people that win are those that waited to buy it used for dirt cheap

 

[Timmy Testicles]

for once i wasn't giga-mad at gamefreak. a mystery dungeon remake is based, the dlc looks better than the main game, and hopefully they'll make a second pass or update the game to add in the whole roster. i'm a bit pissy at lando being back, but it's worth it for more regis.
