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

Platinum is better. Hopefully they have at least some of its content, but it's the Pokemon Company.

That said, it's funny that people were pissed that ORAS changed too much, and now they're mad that the D/P remakes are changing too little. The Pokemon fanbase is really fucking autistic.

Tbh, I think people were more mad that Battle Frontier didn't make it. Maison is such a terrible post-game that I wonder why they even bothered, aside from the fact that Kalos had it and they just wanted to recycle content.

Based on Japanese press materials, Legends has an active time battle system, climbing, gliding, and boss battles. You can sneak up on Pokémon to catch them without going into battle. If you get attacked the trainer itself can get hurt, forcing you to flee. Pokémon sizes are apparently scaled properly now.

There is no multiplayer.

The DP remakes have the Shaymin NPC from platinum in the trailer, so I guess that event is still in. Porygon Z was also in the trailer, so it’s probably using the platinum dex.

My guess? Yokai Watch was getting close to kicking Pokemon's ass in Japan. From what I understand, Rotomdex was poorly received in the West but the Japs ate it up because it was just so damn cute. Kind of like how they thought Tingle was whimsical and fun but we all thought knew he gave off creepy pedo vibes.

I got into Gen IV late so the Underground was pretty much dead by the time I went through Sinnoh on my own. It was apparently really fun when fully utilized from what I've heard, so I hope I can experience that at least once.

See that's the thing with the D/P and to an equal but lesser extent with B/W/2, they'd only just really started adding online stuff when they started so the underground was 100% offline.

I'm wondering if they'll do anything online with it this time. Maybe a friend codey invite thing?

...I just want to actually have more than one other person to have fall into my pit traps is all.

whoa, that's actually extremely different. ATB battling?

This is DEFINITELY an experimental game.

I want to look out to Legends but that they show gameplay with pokemon with framerates that you can count on one hand does not sit well with me...It's like a bad omen.

It's best to keep in mind that that was presentation footage. While GF isn't known for their coding prowess, they still have a year to touch up and polish things.

Yeah I think the 10 fps pokemon must have been due to fucking up some Level of Detail code or some shit, which on the brightside shows that they are at least starting to learn how to optimize some things

I feel like I am the only one not bothered by the DP remakes graphics or style, except maybe the proportions of the human models looking a bit dumb. There are hints about content from platinum being there so it gives me a bit more of hope about this not being closer to an ORAS situation (where they outright scrapped content). Here is hoping they don't streamline the shit out of caves/routes and also hoping to see some new content. Still I am cautiously optimistic about this one
As for pokemon breath of the wild, it is gamefreak so I am expecting them to fuck this one up one way or another, namely in the performance department. So not as optimistic here.
At least now we know that TPC and friends are more open to giving the franchise to other devs who will make more than phone games. Yeah I am aware they used to have spinoffs often back in the gamecube/GBA and DS era, but kinda slowed down for the wii era and were reallt absent during the WiiU era (the only spinoff of note I can think of is pokken) and the 3ds got the rumble games, trozei and two PMD games, the rest being all phone games (duel, go, magikarp jump).

SwSh didn't have a whole year (and more in 2022) worth of development time left to get fixed up when it was announced. I'm keeping my expectations low for Legends, but I'm going to give them benefit of the doubt and hope that with more time on their hands they can give it some much needed polish.

I expect it to get delayed to mid to late 2022. This is their most ambitious project yet and I'm sure they realize people won't be happy if it's half-assed as opposed to just another mid generation.

Really there is just no excuse for the DP remakes to not be a slam dunk. Platnium already exists, and that game is a near perfect pokemon game. Literally all they have to do is incorporate most of the Platinum changes from DP and its done. If they are removing tms(which I think they are.) then all they really need is the ride share thing (or just have blocking npcs) and progression is fine. My only really worry is exp share. Gym leaders just arent difficult when exp share exists in the game unless they make them use some big strats that just arent friendly to children. I dont think it would effect Cynthia much become her team is just fearsome no matter what. But there are definetly some gym fights in platnium that can be memorable for most people. Especially Fantina and Candice.

Wholesale new changes I would want would probably having them size up the route encounters a bit, maybe add some mon from different regions. I expect the platnium dex at minimum, but there is no reason for why it shouldn't be expanded even more.

In the announcement they directly stated, though I'm phrasing, "with all the Pokemon from the original Diamond and Pearl" which I took to mean no new Pokemon, no Regional forms, and no Pokemon after Gen4.
