It's kinda forgettable, aside from toby's track and marie it all kinda just feels stock and generic or at its worst kinda a cluster fuck like bede's

I dunno, maybe it's just me, but I'm just not feeling it. I dunno how to explain it, but I'm just not really jiving with this soundtrack. I wanna be able to take away at least a few noteworthy soundtracks from the game, but they just go over my head and aren't sticking.

But I've said it before that I never felt like any music past Gen V has really stuck with me. It's like ever since they moved to 3D, the music took a hit, and I'm not sure why.

OffTopic, but why does it seem each time Toby helps with the music for a game not by him, it turns out mediocre? YIIK, Town, SWSH. Only Smash Ultimate survived

you can throw homestuck in even though that's not a game but an entirely separate cluster fuck, the guy has a reverse midus touch towards people. unless its smash like you said since surprisingly the sans mii costume is the best in the game.

Really confusing bro.

To each their own but to me it kinda sounds like they slapped 3 different tracks together and this was the result

Gen 7 for as flawed as it was had some good ones, gladion's theme was good, and the champion theme was pretty good.
 
Has anybody figured out how shiny hunting is going to work in this game (ie. a certain gimmick to help like SOS battles), or if it's the same as previous gens?

Just let Toby Fox make the music from now on

You do know that he composed the megalovania for smash ultimate right?
 
So, does anyone know if GF or Pokemon Company has claimed they will add more Pokemon to the game post release via patch? I don't like to operate on assuming they will patch in Pokemon down the road, it's a case of "Just because they can and should, doesn't mean they will." Which makes me hesitant unless they've already claimed they have plans to patch more in later. (And just because they've done similar things in the past doesn't mean they'll do it now.)

They have been pretty tight lipped, so it's all speculation. I am in the camp that they will, especially if nothing else a couple more legendaries (a cute non-aggressive Mew/Celeb/Jurachi/etc), and a Genesect like badass.

I could see more than that coming in promotion of the raid mechanic.

They specifically said they had no plans to do so. They said each game will have a fractional dex going forward. This is their position as of Nov 10th.
Buy Pokémon home.

This is why I'm concerned let's say hypothetically you're right and there's no confirmation... Why did't they confirm this with the backlash of the cuts.. Makes me heavily suspicious. It makes little sense not to confirm it unless...

I've heard similar claims (not that I can confirm them) and if this is the case they've lost their minds.

Shinies are a confirmed 1/250 chance without the ehiny charm, like in LGPE. They do not appear shiny in the overworld.

Edit: the datamind also confirmed the Bulbasaur and Squirtle lines are in fact in the code, as well as two blank Pokemon slots which will presumably be DLC mythicals. Blastoise gets Shell Smash and Venusaur gets Earth Power and Weather Ball.
Imagine being GameFreak's favorite shillmon with two megas, a gigantomax, an item that protectd against hazards and a +10 BST to every stat and still being irrelevqnt to your brothers

From another perspective, it could be why they are trying to shut down the leaks. What's on the cart isn't all that they have intended, and they want to quash the rumors.

They've been piss poor communicating this whole time, they're Japs, they tend to do things their own way that doesn't make sense. It's kinda why people like Nintendo, they try to do weird things that seem stupid, and half the time it works and makes them a pile of money.

It's why I'm not reserving my judgement on what's found on the early leaked cartridge. Perhaps Home is going to fill some of this niche, but they aren't ready to announce it. What if home let you play Pokemon battles, separate from any game? You collect and trade them there, and then fight battles. Something akin to Arena for MTG.

More evidence why 2D > 3D. The fossil mon look god-awful as 3D models, but as 2D sprites I actually kinda like them.

IDK man, considering it will probably need cloud services and a constant subscription going off of how they handled bank, I would trust it as far as I could throw it.
also considering its Nintendos online combined with Game Freaks programming, that makes me extra wary.
 
I think people are way too optimistic about this new Pokemom title. The game is a straight port of Sun & Moon engine, which is a straight port of X & Y. This is a title from from 2012 mind you. They basically had to deliberately cut out all the things they did, this wasn't a time constraint issue. I know people are excited for a new game in a franchise, especially on the Switch which I love. But you are better off buying Ultra Sun and Moon because it's a better Pokemon game. I mean it's literally an improvement over Sword and Shield in every way. The online battling is free too. It makes me sad to say this.

Galar Darmanitan has Zen Mode as it's hidden ability again, turns it into a snowman and it regains its fire typing on top of gaining 20 (!) base attack and 40 (!!!) base speed.

>Base Stats: 105.140.55.30.55.95 (BST: 480)
>Abilities: Gorilla Tactics (1) | Gorilla Tactics (2) | Zen Mode (H)
>Type: Ice

>995 - Darmanitan 3 (Stage: 2)
>Base Stats: 105.160.55.30.55.135 (BST: 540)
