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

Honestly, I don't think G Maxing or whatever it was called in Gen 8 will return. Not sure about Megas, but I wasn't a huge fan of Mega Evos since I never used them in my plays in Gen 6. I am sure Poffin making and contests will return however.

RIP the switch's touch screen, game better come with a stylus if they are back

A throwback stylus with Palkia/Dialga on top but made for the Switch would be a really cool nod to the OG Diamond and Pearl. They released with a special stylus with the box legendary on top since they were the first DS titles. I still have my Palkia stylus from all those years ago and use it if I ever get out my 3DS.

It'll use the joy con sticks or whatever like how curry making was implanted.

I wonder if they'll redesign Cyrus, just like how they redesigned Archie and Maxie in ORAS.

They kept Dawn and Lucas the same, so I doubt it. They're really pushing the "faithful" angle with this one.

They didn't redesign anyone in the trailer.

Frankly it's unacceptable for the Sinnoh remakes to look like.... that when Link's Awakening exists. That game proves that you can do nice-looking cutesy chibi 3D graphics for the world map on Switch. This game on the other hand would've looked outdated if it were released 5 years ago.

The open-world game SOUNDS interesting, but it's Gamefreak developing it so there's no point getting excited. Be happy if it does indeed turn out to be good, but do not be surprised if it's a completely mediocre effort. If anything I wish they'd farmed that one out to another studio instead.

Gmaxing was literally written in-story to be a region-specific gimmick so I'd be very surprised if it made it back as a regular mechanic.

you say that, but so was Z-moves and arguably mega-evolution.

In short, opinions are very mixed on these new games, but I personally think people are going to warm up to them.

This is probably the best course of action for the remakes in the long run. I feel like if they tried anything too weird or different with it, it would have pissed off more people. I honestly prefer the new artsyle. It gives homage to how the games used to look rather than try and go for the SWSH look. Its just enough to give gen 4 fags like myself that nostalgia methane we've been craving for.

Now if they butcher the ost then we'll have a problem.

A world that requires no spirit, it would be a perfect world.

So this Cyrus was the one that made the remake timeline, or is that a world with no soul?

I think the chibi art has a lot of character.

>IP generates literal billions of dollars
>can't afford to make trees for the game and take shit from free assets
>give characters even less animations
>make assets so they can be re-used for a freemium mobile game
>expect people to pay 60 dollars

You would think the Switch's success would translate into them trying to push their studios to break new ground, but holy shit is this a lazy ass attempt. Get your fucking act together, you could have made this exact same game on the Nintendo 64 just with less texture resolution. Hell the fucking Gamecube Pokemon games walk all over this.

You're literally making this previous cash grab look competant


Like what the fuck, what are you doing over there? Are the japanese drug laws not strict enough?

Here now this is a fucking remaster done by Monolith who has not even 1/8th of the budget Pokemon had

At least Zelda's Awakening had a charming art style. D/P's just a little mobile-gamey.

I really can't say Link's Awakening Remake had charm to it, because if you open up the artbook you see these beautiful character renders and design art and then they threw it out into the trash in favor of what we got.

Like holy shit I have not seen such a downgrade in character design from start to finish since Horizon Zero Dawn.

So some people on Twitter are assuming Dawn and Lucas's new looks are derived from the Ainu of Hokkaido which Sinnoh is based off of as well as making references to Golden Kamuy.

Spoiler

I'm hoping this meme takes off. I also really want a Pokemon game where you play as a 12 year old loli who hunts Pokemon for food and cooks them for dinner, in-between scenes of naked men fighting and the Gym Leaders are a bunch of sexually disturbed serial killers. Also heres a funny crossover picture.

The lockstin guy on youtube presented a pretty decent case for it being meiji

Lol calm down.

No I refuse

 

[SnowBall]

I got to admit the anti fans are even more obnoxious than the Pokemon fanboys. I just saw a degenerate furry having a multi tweet meltdown over how much they hate the series.

Also Yo Kai Watch fans in particular have such a massive stick up their asses over Pokemon and some seriously believe their game didn’t succeed in the West because the Pokemon fanbase hated it or something.
