Some XY beta music uploaded

I've always thought that the aura trio's theme sounded similar to Solgaleo and Lunala and this proves it.
Listen to the 1:13 part on XY's beta track (still can't insert audio files for some reason) and compare it to the 1:02 part on Solgaleo and Lunala's theme:

The final version of the aura trio's theme also has this bit but it's much quieter. Did they want a space theme for XY, backed out somewhere in development, and added it to next gen's legendaries instead?

So far the games with least amount of leaked material is DPPt and XY, right?
Click to expand...
They're just going in chronological order I think. So DPPt should be mostly done, and seemingly has the most outside BW? And XY is being uploaded as we speak, I think.
 
Wow this RSE lore with latios, latias and metagross now makes sense.

AND ITS BEEN 20 YEARS, why did gamefreak never release it besides the fifth film?

Edit: the funniest thing is that to catch Kyogre in VW2 I had to do that temple minigame in W2, kyogre was there, in the sunken city.

Even the emerald seaglass added some ruins underwater.

Even fan games were making sense into stuff that the original grazes on... The underwater world of hoenn frustrates me a lot since we could have much more

Gamefreak are finally releasing Shiny Meloetta for the first time, you just have to purchase the Scarlet/Violet DLC and complete the Kitakami and Blueberry Academy pokedex and submit all those Mons into home to be eligible to receive it. This essentially makes Meloetta cost $35 if you've never used home before or played another game.

Gamefreak are Niggers and the leaks can never damage them enough.

This is why I've autistically kept a living dex. I just need to finish kitakami.

All these leaks reminded me that USUM is the only game(s) I've never beat, so I started going through it again.
Even at 350% emulation speed it's a slog, I don't think I can make it.

Gen 7 was when I decided to quit the new pokemon games cold turkey. The constant stopping of progress because of hand-holding bullshit and forcing you to use the new gimmicks/features that unlocks content is just a straight-up buzzkill for me. That and the stories keep getting more bloated.

There's no reason to remind me 34876345687 times that the power of friendship can overcome anything. There's no reason why I have to be forced to sit through tutorial after tutorial for basic things that anyone could have figured out themselves within seconds just by trying/pressing buttons. Mantine Surfing was like the only neat time-killer I liked.

Also Gen 7 was when i finally buckled down and hacked my 3DS so i can use PKHeX to edit my savefile, because the new EV game/system thing was completely inferior to gen 6's "throw soccerballs at balloons while beating the shit out of punching bags"

I actually liked you could just leave several Pokemon overnight.

The problem is it was only for one stat - when you should have been able to do all stats needed at once - and there was no quicker way of doing it such as Pokemon football.

Pokemon Football not being back for Galor was also funny.

I cannot wait to learn how much dropped ideas were in 8 and 9. Especially 8.

Give me a mainline Pokemon Game with a story about the pitfalls involved with using power you don't fully understand.

Better yet, give me a Pokemon Game with a story that has tangible threats (like mob bosses and political corruption *cough* gen wun / Gen 2 *cough*) as opposed to world ending lunacy.

There was a leaked document where GF employees discussed that they wanted their stories to explore the relationship between humans and Pokemon, but what exploration is happening exactly? Every single game has the exact same theme of "humans and Pokemon can do anything as long as they work together! :)", it's not an exploration insomuch as it is beating you over the head repeatedly with the same powah of fwendship plot most kids media has.

Hasn't stopped them so far? One of the most egregious examples we discussed ITT, Chatot, was even in the latest Switch games. Granted, "cunt!" Gimmick free, but still there. Gardeviour is still one of the big mascots and even got a paradox form.
Click to expand...
That's in part due to those examples (among others) being easily ignored or written off as being fringe, very few players today remember the controversy with Chatot and the Gardevoir is often written off as being a "minor" thing.

They might try and silence some people being too loud but the impact on the actual series and its perception, I doubt it'll be touched.
Click to expand...
They'll definitely silence people that try to take the "these scrapped fables means the folks at Game Freak support rape and zoophilia!" angle too far, that's why I brought up the DMCA strikes that Kuroodod and Diives were affected by.

As far as the perception of the IP being affected by it only time will tell, it'll largely depend on how much of a ruckus is made and how quickly the affected parties respond to it.

The only downside is that they're exclusive to China and that makes them a bit of a pain to export, I'm currently seeing them on eBay for $199.99 before taxes.

I've already completed all three in SV but sadly HOME actually cares about having the actual Pokémon in-bank with catch info to match, I guess I have a lot of work to do.

Meanwhile over in Orre...

"Yeah, uh... I know its been tortured until it's become a savage murder machine that may or may not try to kill me, but they get this sweet typeless tackle that just devastates if they're extra pissed off and I REALLY want to win at the Coliseum."

- The Majority of the NPCs in Orre

Edit: Did PETA ever react specifically to Coliseum? Given that Pokemon are literally being turned into savages for the local cock fights they'd have more ground to stand on than they did with the mainline games.
