Stat-wise, not really.

Not only is Typhlosion slightly stronger specially, but it's also much faster allowing it to be much more likely to land a full health eruption as opposed to Camerupt. Granted, Typhlosion has Starter status.

In terms of typing, though, Camerupt does shaft Typhlosion if they were to ever battle each other.

D/P remakes were inevitable (I'll say it again: Watch them not make it a Platinun remake), but why do we need a prequel game? I'm serious, why? When did Sinnoh ever call for a prequel? What if, I dunno, we really don't need answers to the Sinnoh folklores? We don't need to see the creation of Sinnoh or whatever at all.

I'm actually pretty interested in this Legends game, since I really enjoyed Breath of the Wild, but my main concern is how empty the overworld seems to be. It's definitely something I'll keep an eye on, and given that it's still a year out from release, I'm sure it'll be improved a lot over the coming months, so I have high hopes for it. Of course, it is Game Freak we're talking about, so there's a high chance they'll shit the bed. I'm more interested in that than the DP remakes. I played the original DP as a kid, and loved it, and this looks fine, but it doesn't look like they added enough new features to make it worth playing again. I'll just keep an eye on that one, too, and see what else they show off of it before release. Overall, the presentation wasn't as shit as I expected it to be

I guess you can call him... POKE MALONE!

This... is surprisingly pretty generic. This barely reminds me of Pokémon at all, let alone the memories I had of the franchise. If I listened to this song without the context that it was created for the 25th anniversary I would've thought it was another sappy love song or something.
You want to hear a good western Pokémon song? I got you covered.

So the D/P remakes were outsourced to a different company while Game Freak is handling the weird experimental offshoot. Strange times we live in.

I think Legends Arceus is GF testing the waters to see if they can put out a game without worrying about the whole versions thing. I can already see the endless debates as to whether it's a mainline entry or just a spin-off if only because it doesn't follow that convention.

Cautiously optimistic for these ones.

I just view it as BD and SP's very unconventional 3rd version, that or like the Orre games

Among Us memes are the new low-effort bait posting.

On-topic, Legends Arceus is definitely interesting. I didn't think GF would step out of their comfort zone, but here we are. Maybe the fiasco around SwSh made them realise they can't cling to their traditional release cycle anymore.

I said I'd get soyface when the Sinnoh remakes were announced and that's exactly what happened. They actually did it the madmen.

Part of me sort of wishes we'd got these with the Let's Go graphics/aesthetic, but at the same time, I loved the chibi graphics in the Switch version of Link's Awakening (crappy framerate notwithstanding), so I'm sure I'll enjoy this when it drops. I just hope they don't shortchange us on all the Platinum improvements/content (they probably will).

Legends Arceus I can take or leave at the moment. It looks like an interesting idea, but I'll need to see a bit more before I get really excited.

I wonder if modern gf will actually improve the remakes. Like do they have enough brain power to add some more fire types?

I'd welcome megas back if they remove dynashitting, but i prefer they both go. Megas are just to poorly thought out, why use any mega except Lucario or Khan?

Mega evolution was an attempt to change up the pokemon battles. It made popular pokemon better and buffed the weaker pokemon (like camerupt). I think they struck gold with mega evolution and Z-moves.

If anything, they should have further fleshed out those two mechanics instead of combining them in a way that made both of them worse.
