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

Regardless of whether, or not the stream actually crashed (it did, at least for some people), I'm okay with what we got shown. My only complaint is that I really don't like the chibi-style they chose for the top-down perspective for the remakes.
 
Personally, I don't mind the chibi style in the overworld. It stays true to style from the original and (probably) allows them to focus their detail more on the environment rather than individual characters.

Then again, I was more a fan of the "Chibi model in the overworld and more detailed models in battles and cutscenes" look that the DPP went for.

Cyndaquil is going to need a lot more then that...
a charizard that cant fly, mega evolve, or gigantimax....
what a disaster...
Charizard doesn't have eruption. That makes Typhlosion objectively superior.

Okay, looking at these games... Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl look really good in 3D. In the overworld, they've clearly leaned heavily on Link's Awakening's aesthetic.

Then there's the other big one, Pokemon Legends Arceus. You can definitely spot this rough around the edges, like that 10 FPS chingling, like the team isn't exactly experts at super big open worlds, but there's clearly an aesthetic here.

I'm definitely intrigued, these games look interesting.

I like the water color asthetic on all the models but yeah that fps count makes deadly premonition 2 look like it's running on a super PC
 
Well they did it, they made two games based on sinnoh, one is a Remake made by a capable and promising third-party ILCA and a overly experimental and lackluster Pokemon Legends Arceus that run on 15 fps
The safe option to pick would be the remake.

Yeah, I also thought the D/P remakes looked a lot like the Link's Awakening remake. It's not done by GF so maybe it'll actually be good. Legends could be kind of promising, but I'm not going to get my hopes up for either of them. They aren't done yet and they're still way ahead of what SwSh was.

Personally I don't give a fuck what the games look like - are they actually going to be finished and fun? That's the real test.

I'm not sure whether this is better or worse than what hoenn fags got, I mean on one hand we basically are getting Gen 4-2 but on the other it might suck, peak monkey's paw
 
Honestly having the two games is probably the best path forward for the series. Let's Go did a better job bringing the old series' style onto the Switch than Sword and Shield did and SS always felt like they wanted to do something different but were forced back to traditional Pokemon gameplay.

As for Legends, I like what little we've seen so far. Interesting setting, catching Pokemon without fighting them but you still have wild battles, and pretty good feudal redesigns of Dawn and Lucas for the main characters. I can forgive a little jank in what amounts to a teaser trailer for a game that's over a year out. They are also baiting me by picking what are probably my favorite starters for each type in a single game.

Outsourcing one of the mainline games is probably a good idea honestly. Bringing in outside studios is long overdue if they want to put out Pokemon games like they have been. Rotating studios is how every other AAA studio handles yearly releases and as long as you have competent leadership to guide the direction, like Masuda is for BDSP, it can work.
 
I don't get why they decided to choose scrambled up starters for Pokémon Legends. They could've gone another route, like say, give regular Pokémon the starter role rather than rehashing starters.

Maybe something like say, a selection between Machop, Ralts, or Aron. Since Fighting, Fairy, and Steel have that same dynamic (Fighting beats Steel, Fairy beats Fighting, and Steel beats Fairy) and it'd surely shake up the formula a little. All three have a 3-stage evolutionary line with Ralts diverging between Gardevoir and Gallade (albeit it loses the fairy typing), and could fit the role as a starter Pokémon pretty well.

Alternatively, if they wanted to keep the formula of "grass, water, fire", then Budew, Magby, and Azurill could've worked as well (granted, Azurill is normal type, but it should've been water to begin with)

TemTem did something similar, but the way it was executed was rather poor. I would've loved to see something like this in Legends, and they had the perfect opportunity to.

It looks like it's a true remake rather then oras. The bigger question is what they will take from plat. But the quality will be that of gen 4, with new graphics and faster running speed.

Please GF get level 5 to develop a pokemon game that would be so fucking good
