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

Question to those not retarded: do you honestly think there will be DLC for this game? I know they set the precedent for SwSh, but have the spin-offs typically had dlc? The dex is very small, but again, spin-off, so I’m not sure what to think.

LGPE and Legends are sorta spin offs sorta mainline, I think alot of the shit will be introduced in later games like what happened with overworld mons, these strange takes will probably replace mainline remakes aside from the usual ILCA game. Also with the amount of positive reception the game is getting it would be smart to use dlc to bide time, possibly having a more traditional trainer filled area as testing for how you could adapt this crap into mainline. Plus, while I don't put much stock into leaker fags, Khu has been consistently right about everything with Legends even if he is a Chinese schizo and he said this shit will be getting dlc so I'm like 80 percent sure it will happen.

So my brother did get the game after all since I knew he had preordered it, but no one's started playing it yet. Should get on that, then.

Anyhoo.

If Cressilia or Darkrai isn't in it, there probably will be some DLC over something dumb, like the world deleting itself again.

If DLC happens, again, sinjoh chads, it's time

do you honestly think there will be DLC for this game?

Absolutely yes. They have a ready-made template that is asking for expansion. There is going to be DLC for this game and you will probably hear about it sooner rather than later.

You can get Darkrai in-game. Though you apparently need to have save data from BDSP. Shaymin can also be obtained if you have Sw/Sh save data too.

Anyways, I just read that BD/SP have currently sold around 14M copies and should overtake the Hoenn remakes to be the best selling Pokemon remakes so far. And that's despite all the criticisms and complaints against them. The games really do just print money at this point.

Yep, and legends is outselling Sword and Shield time aligned as well. They will absolutely do DLC to milk it.

A lot of Nintendo games are getting DLC, saw it with ShSw sure but also BotW and some other crap games.
Nintendo has always been a greedy company and DLC has always been a way for a greedy company to sell parts of the game that should've been in for a little extra.

DLC is coming, it'll be some wormhole or timetravel shit and expand the pokedex to probably 350 total.

 

[Sundae]

According to leakers (one who in particular has a good track record) there will be DLC announced in a few months. Leaker says that 158 Pokémon will be added to the game, bringing the in-game total number of Pokémon up to 400.

They're both in the game:

I'll add in on the DLCscussion that, this game has drawn comparisons to Monster Hunter very justifiably. and the classic way to expand a monster hunter game is to add a biome and add some new mons to the existing biome. Heatran's island is only in a pre-formed state in the Cobalt Coastlands, but they could go south to the sinjoh ruins or just make a new area from scratch.

Edit: pure spitballing here, but they could do Sinjoh area... where the southernmost point is the Bell Tower and not-yet-Burned Tower. Give us some ancient versions of Suicune, Entei, and Raikou.

Yes, they'll be DLC. SWSH got it and most other Nintendo Switch games get it and GF were kind of hyping this game to be the focus rather than BDSP. It would make zero sense to not give DLC to a game they are putting effort into especially since SWSH shows DLC ok and good.

Cressilia is in. As is Darkrai. However you need BDSP data to get Darkrai.

So I’ve been really slow going with the game’s plot, not because I don’t enjoy it, but I just really like running around the map, collecting all the spirits/Unown/material farming/Pokédex/ect. So I only just unlocked the the 4th area today. And at first I was convinced it was going to absolutely suck, based off the first little bit. Between the starting area having no new pokemon, the cave being super short, followed by another section of no new Pokémon, I was expecting the map to be a very linear hallway or something that was more streamlined because I was following the one guy from point to point.

But then I got to the ACTUAL opening up of the arena and it’s now my favorite area so far.

Arceuschads... We just can't stop winning.

That's DLC for every game you fucking retard.

 

[6MillionCoofs]

This game has a plot?

I've been in the first area for an entire day. Have not even unlocked Crimson Mirelands, wandering round and catching everything is too much fun.

I do wish the area Pokédex had the blank spaces the full one did so I could tell how many in an area there were and how many I had left to get.

Also I hate Alakazam and Trees now.

Overall it's getting good reception yes? As long as its not a fuckimg sword and shield level disaster.

Is Jynx in? I heard something about a "lady-mon"?

It ended up being a new form for the Gen V Pokemon Lilligant, which as a species can only be female similar to Jynx.

And the only non-Gen IV Pokemon(and those related via evolution) in the game that neither appeared in any version of the Sinnoh Dex or received new forms/evolutions/group members are the Paras Line, Vulpix Line(includes the Alolan form as well), and Spheal Line. So Jynx is not in the game.

 

[Coelacanth]

Aaaand Game Freak went full retard and locked the starters and the legendaries. Again. Why do you hurt me like this, Masuda? Were shiny starters or legendaries responsible for the death of his cat or something?

In japan It's second only to animal crossing in terms of opening weekends for a switch game.

It outdid the diamond and pearl remakes, and seems to have hit pretty big world wide.

Gives me hope that game freak may realize that they have the beginnings of a winning formula on there hands here.

Up the graphics a little bit (it doesn't need to be photo realistic or any nonsense like that... but like comeon those mountain textures are BAD, and the pop up distance is way to fucking short...) and refine a few things, and they'll have a mighty cash cow with which to keep the money flowing for another 25 years.

 

[Wingnut]

and the pop up distance is way to fucking short...

How they thought that render range was a good idea when they planned to implement a flying mode of transport where you'll have giant sightlines is beyond me.
