paldea seems to be a lot less hardcore with battling in general. all of the gym leaders have a main job that they do instead of battling. in galar everyone is obsessed with it.
CAM ON GALAR FAINT SOM FOOCKIN POKERMONS

Now you got me wondering if anyone tried pitting the Paldea E4 against the Galar's and see who would come out on top.

Eh? So what's their equivalent then? (You can tell I never kept up with pokememes beyond the most superficial shit).

Galar was a little weird. Like in other games, Galar has a gym challenge in which trainers tackle each gym around the region for their badges. The gym leaders, I believe, were trainers that had obtained the badges on their adventures at some point prior to the events in Sword and Shield later becoming gym leaders themselves. That, or at the very least, pupils of those gym leaders who inherited the position of gym leader through some unknown official process. Rather than an Elite 4, the Pokemon League sponsors a periodic tournament in which those with the requisite gym badges and the gym leaders themselves would battle to see who was the strongest out of the bunch. Whoever won the tournament earned the right to battle the champion of the Galar region in the hopes that they may claim the title of champion.

yup exactly.
so i guess get the 4 strongest gym leaders and see how they fare.
i'm still so pissed we were robbed of the experience of fighting the elite 4 with unglitched music. i wasn't sure if it was a glitch or if the music really sucked that bad. i listened to the real version a while later and was so sad

There's no way in hell they're bringing back Megas. People liked them too much, and GF would call it "too much work", even if they were just importing the existing ones. I especially don't believe it because Megas would distract from Tera. I'll believe them bringing Z Moves back before Megas, it's way less work and because of how they work mechanically (1 shot, 1 turn), they wouldn't detract from Tera very much at all.
Click to expand...
Is it less work? The Megas can probably be exported by models while the moves might need to be reworked if the physics changed. On the other hand god knows how badly the games are programmed for something that should be incredibly easy.

It would have been cool to have a safari minigame where you basically catch a fuck ton of wild pokemon and wholesale it for processing for massive profit.

It played fine on my end, but I was paranoid about the memory leak to the point where I was restarting the software every hour or so to purge the RAM. When it actually does work, it's a nice thing to have.

So, after seeing what Feucoco turned into, I kind of shuffled this game off into the 'fuck that' catagory, but I'm kind of curious, and the wife loves the new mons.

So, what say you, farmers, is S/V worth the purchase?

If you're willing to look past the performance issues and enjoy the gameplay? sure. Otherwise, no.

They've always talked about eating pokemon parts that drop off (like Slowpoke tails or that ice cream pokemon's "ice cream". (actually sweat?) I won't accept it as official that they harvest pokemon for slaughter until Gamefreak outright says it.


edit: Oh yeah, for those curious. My copy of Moon arrived two weeks ago and I have been enjoying it, taking things slow trying to grind for a living dex. One problem though, the story drags you through by a god damn leash. I don't think I could stand it if it weren't for the massive breaks I take at each route to catch the new mons. Its seriously Sword and Shield level bad with a useless rival, NPCs who never shut up and I'll be damned if nearly every trainer besides yourself doesn't have just a single pokemon (or, rarely, two.)

Just my luck by the time I pick up a copy of Scarlet this will have already been patched out:

It's a cheap tactic, but I like this bug because it's always satisfying to land a 1-hit K.O. move.

If I choose Fuecoco, I'm going to name it La Bamba (since Skeledirge is the Singer Pokemon, and I've had that song stuck in my head the past few days).

Gonna have to hard disagree there. The fact they fucked up so bad that online battles are on a single RNG seed is far more telling of how slapped together the games really are. Removes all the satisfaction of landing an OHKO when you know it's going to land on turn 3 every single match.

As much as I hate Smogon for being a bunch of elitists, they're the only reason the current generation meta is even playable (Showdown), because right now in the games themselves, the entire meta is making sure you're faster when it's the turn for OHKO's to land.


@wtfNeedSignUp (multiquote issues)
To my knowledge, physics should have no effect whatsoever on the battles themselves, because they aren't even factored. All the attacks you see are scripted animations, not in game assets actually performing actions. In general turn based RPG's don't even have code to factor anything physics related beyond basic player input unless it explicitly applies to the Battle system or overworld presentation. While I don't know the state of their programming, Z moves would still be easier because in theory it should be as simple as importing the code and being done, while Mega's you have to factor take much more balancing into effect on top of updating all the models. Most of the Z Moves you could probably get away with not updating much graphically.

Less character models to animate make blackscreens of.
 
Alola did this too but at least they had the excuse with the newfound league.

Larry suggests the zoomer audience if you are a regular guy with an office job, you're gonna kill yourself any minute. Instead, go for the happy-go-lucky streamer tranny lifestyle.

I mean, they are right about wagies being close to killing either themselves or someone else... I mean I was a wagey for a while, and I know for a fact that if stayed on for much longer I would have beat my boss to death with a crowbar (in minecraft.)

Yeah I found my second shiny accidentally from the auto-battle feature (A fucking slightly different colored Tropius). Maybe it will help with those 1 pixel long pokemon like the keys and the teacup.
