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

Speaking of de-woked Black and White 3, I dunno if you mentioned this but if the main protagonist is BROWN does that also go for the character's mother? If so, this would be the first game where the absence of your father makes sense.

I actually thought of that, myself, since the mother is Caucasian.
In the original woke version, since the player's mother was a lesbian, I concluded tha the player is adopted, though IVF would be possible.
That makes a bit of a problem in the de-woked version where she i straight.
I say tha the player character is adopted in the de-woke version too, though I might just say tha the African father is working long hours overseas, though I am not so sure that something that worked in Mother 2 would apply here. Nothing is conclusive yet.

What if she was a lesbian because the black man left her when the baby came?

This sounds like a cry for help

Unironically I think half of Gamefreak's writing the last decade has been a cry for help. The revamp of the sunken ship in ORAS. Larry. Punished Kieran in the next DLC being described by the chinese leaker guy as "the king of" some chinese concept that's the equivalent of karoshi. These people need a vacation

Re Space World Leak: I'll always be aggravated the electric tiger line got cut not once but twice, and that it was meant to be a three-stage line before being inexplicably cut to two stages in GS beta. I actually like Litten's line a ton including Incineroar, a fire tiger starter is fantastic and I never had spergouts over Incineroar itself like others did - but I started Pokemon Red with Charizard and an electric tiger line would complement it very nicely, as well as having that full-fledged Gen 1 and 2 charm.

Speaking of betas, a lot of Gen 4 beta versions of mons feel they could fit in with Gens 1-3 really nicely too. I wonder, was Gen 5 the true beginning of the modern design philosophy? Gens 1-4 feel like a natural unit, especially if you include all the cut and/or beta designs. Was there a big team or management turnover shift around Gens 4-5?

...and th is from Johto, which is based off Kansai, Nippon, and therefore has few African people...
If I had the source, I might be able to fix this (including the colourwashing this time), but I feel that I am going to need WAY bigger assembly skills here.

If anyone wants to dig through /vp/ archives, I remember someone making a patch that makes all the NPCs white.

Might not be compatible with the latest version of the hack.

Crystal Clear was always a mid ROM hack anyway. Open world Pokémon just doesn’t work very well.

Serebii released a "preview" of the Indigo Disk DLC today that mostly amounts to his autisitc Bri'ish ass narrating him jumping over grassy plains for 10 minutes. I didn't bother to watch the video- just read the write-up instead, so here are some highlights of that after a video link for those who do have the patience to watch instead of read.

I looked through the comments to see if he had anything else to say, and unfortunately there's no word of any battle facility:
seeing as he has more information on the DLC than he's shared so far because of this answer:


I kinda doubt that there will be a whole battle facility tacked on too. It's not the same when you can use items and overlevel and I assume have some sort of switch mode? I honestly don't even know how switch mode works if you're fighting a double battle. Can you get a free double switch in without wasting a turn every time one of your opponents faints?

On performance, although I think he mentions this in the video notes already:

No idea why new versions are so hard to find, but I found a patch that was made for 2.5.8. The latest version of the hack is 2.5.9, so it may or may not still work.

I also found one for 2.5.6, so I’ll attach that too.

Patches:
2.57/2.58
2.55/2.56

They’re just catbox links that I found in a /vp/ archive. Pre-patched Crystal Clear is here. It looks like they only keep the latest two versions, which thankfully includes 2.5.8, with both the standard and color filter releases (the latter being the same game, but with more washed out colors). I’d attach the roms directly, but I don’t want to burden Null with “hosting illegal content”. Or maybe he doesn’t give a shit for rom hacks, I don’t know.

I attached builds of my demake and the de-woked versions of Black and White 3 without getting in trouble.
Just pu them in zip files, since the forums only permits attachments of a small number o file formats, and you would be fine.

In that case, I pre-patched both variations of 2.5.8 and 2.5.9. From my very brief testing, 2.5.9 works fine, but I'm including the older version just in case.

I weep everytime I see these stubby-legged tigers, the plushies would've been so adorable.

I hate all the "iceberg" videos. What a shitty format

On performance, although I think he mentions this in the video notes already:

I said this before and I’ll say it again: anyone expecting GF to fix SV’s performance in any significant manner is inhaling concentrated copium since fixing the issues would require GF to remake the game from scratch. Remember that part of the reason why the main Paldea area is a buggy mess is due to the game rendering an Earth-sized sphere of water to make the rivers, lakes, and oceans of Paldea a more realistic feel.

Well, that and the game probably has some programming hiccups in the same way Steve’s SSBU coding does.

It gets worse than that: Apparently the game loads THE ENTIRE MAP everytime you enter a cutscene or interior, and there is a memory leak past a certain point where the game gets more and more unstable/lacking in memory until an eventual crash due to lack of memory or even a corrupted save. Game has been known to brick Switch consoles as well just like during Sword/Shield days.

I don't think I've ever seen a product this technically incompetent, even the original titles are better made
