The timing is suspicious because of all the bullshit we had to go through with SwSh and this is their "We're sorry, please come back to us" compromise, I bet.

I just hope this means we are going back to "space out mainline gens so with spin offs so we don't need a big JRPG every year for a console release"
also does anyone else find it weird that they were showing megas in Go after dropping it in gens 7 and 8? really activates my almonds on whats gonna happen with the past gimmicks

A bigger and better Pokemon Snap sequel designed by a competent company that's not GF. Now this is the best news I've seen in a long time.

The original Snap wasn't made by GameFreak, either, it was HAL Laboratory, Pax Softnica, and some "Jack and Beans". So is HAL Laboratory still involved, or just Bandai-Namco?

Hal is listed in the copy rights I think, lemmie check the trailer, they are listed under copyright but not as anything else so they might just be overseeing it

I think technology has improved enough to accommodate for accents and dialects to be able to pull it off, but then I remember the microphone for Mario Party 7 being sensitive but at the same time not pulling off commands right. Then again, that was still 15 years ago...

I dunno, I think a Hey You, Pikachu! sequel would be cute, but we already have Let's Go where you interact with your Pikachu/Eevee, so kinda redundant.

Personally, I want another Pokémon Puzzle League game, but it'll just make me sad because they'd have to use the current voice-actors for it and I dunno, Pokémon Puzzle League was rather ambitious for its time and was unique in that it was never released in Japan. Still holds up nicely to this day even though the 3D platform has always lagged.
 
Well, at least Porygon-Z and Palossand are back, there's my hollow victory...

Also lmao at Namco blowing GF out of the water in sheer development prowess with one fell swoop. Bravo.

And I do mean literally blowing out of the water. Look at this shit.

I really can't call anything about that game "ambitious". That's because, like Tetris Attack for the SNES, it was merely a Panel de Pon game(In this case Panel de Pon 64) with all of the sprites and music changed from the original fairy characters to a different Nintendo property.

Puzzle League Challenge for the Gameboy Color, however, was always a Pokemon game. It was known in Japan as Pokemon Panel de Pon, That is why it is based on the videogames(specifically Gold and Silver) instead of the anime, and why there are more Pokemon-themed mechanics, and over all higher production quality(for the system it is on).

If there WAS another Puzzle League game, I imagine it would be based on the games again rather than the anime, even if it was an asset edit of a main-line Panel de Pon game like the N64 entry rather than a completely original game like the GBC one.

Yet to verify it myself, but I've heard from friends that you can unlock Pokemon following you in the isle of Armor.

I've also taken a look at the new moves. Not... all of them are great, but some do have hilarious implications.

Like Poltergeist, which has a ghost possess the opponent's held item to attack, fails if there is none. Imagining someone's choice scarf strangling them to death is darkly hilarious.

There's also Meteor Beam. It's a rock type, special, 2 turn charging attack that boosts Special Attack the first turn, and attacks the second. It's a step above solarbeam, at least, but it's CRIMINAL that they don't have Minior in the roster when this move is a thing. It fits them PERFECTLY.

Graphics still ain't Snap Level, but they have noticeably improved. More little rocks and dirt and logs on the ground, more biomes relying on shit actually being there. Pokemon hanging in trees, pokemon attacking you in the water...

Also, something I noted.

The legendary pokemon included in the roster from @Hyrip123876 are:
Mewtwo
Mew
Celebi
Jirachi
The Muskedeers
The Tao Trio
The Cosmog Line
Magearna,
Necrozma,
Marshadow
and Zeraora.

There's two notable omissions there. You could argue that the lack of Gen 6 is due to the low number of gen 6 legendaries in general...

But why is there no Gen 4?

The gen 4 legends all live in ruined temples on top of the snowiest mountain in the world, or in bumfuck nowhere shrines/caverns/islands in a region filled with snow and evergreens. If they're adding the gen 4 legends at all, it'd be in the tundra DLC since it's environment is an analog to Sinnoh's.

Ha, maybe "impressive" was a better word to use since it was a Nintendo 64 cartridge with full animated cutscenes that weren't compressed in video nor audio, so that's why it still looks so good to this day. I don't know if any other N64 game was able to do that since then. I'm glad it came out here, though, before the other Panel de Pon games did. I love puzzle games, but I don't know if I would've gotten into Panel de Pon without Puzzle League introducing me to it.

Do still wanna play Puzzle Challenge, though.
 
I'm glad to see they're finally making another Pokémon Snap. I'll never understand why they didn't make one foe the Wii U or 3DS. Because they both had cameras and replied on moving the controller around it would have worked great.

Now I wonder if they will make a sequel to Hey You Pikachu!
