CONFIRMED: Pokémon Sword/Shield Dropped GTS; Contains Multiplayer Code From Let's Go
- Thread starter Caz

Yeah. That's what sucks. It's like a helpless feeling of nothing will ever change. Game Freak will continue doing what they're doing.
That's different. EA bad Nintendo gud. Haven't you paid attention in your videogame religion class?
lol
why post on a pokemon thread then?
go seek attention somewhere else.
I was hoping to play a new Pokemon game that I can work today, day by day, leveling up more and more ad nauseam until the next installment. Let's see how this game turns out.
How dare they criticize GameFreak mismanagement right? It's not like fans are paying money for this or anything right?
I don't see the problem. Game Freak implemented a time stop mechanic when climbing ladders. They're doing us a favor.Wait, what?
It's the fault of era moderation for letting that behavior run rampant. Saw the same shit in the Jim Sterling thread about blizzard and Hong Kong, saw it in THQ topics and Kingdom Come Deliverance topics. Perhaps if there was some consistent moderation for situations where goofballs come into particularly sensitive topics to announce their intent of purchase with the sole intent of riling up others, we'd see it less.
The thank you hashtag started because of the unsubstantiated rumor about Game Freak morale being low.
This is not even Nintendo,even a #ThankYouNintendo hashtag would had more credit. I feel like people are just too attached to Pokémon and Nintendo bc childhood company so they act more emotional than rational when they are discussed, same with Disney.
Warned for "inappropriate drive by" is some hilarious nonsense.
The Dark Souls of Pokemon.Wait, what?
Maybe they're psychic trainers? lolWait, what?
I never understood this expression. What does it mean to describe something other than Dark Souls as Dark Souls? I've understood it to be an insult but I don't understand how. What is the implication?
Same thing with shaking Berry trees. Everything else freezes except the trainer and tree.Wait, what?
Well it's accurate, If it was any other company doing this they would be eveserated but because it's game freak and nintendo they are getting defended constantly about things that they shouldn't be.
It's a joke about the ladder climbing animation reminding me of Dark Souls. I didn't even notice the time stop.
Wow, I saw some people mention the GTS in the review thread and was like "Nah, surely they wouldn't actually get rid of the GTS" but wow. This is the first cut feature from this game that really hurts me. I'll at least have friends to trade with but I think most of us are getting Sword.
If there's not some kind of equivalent in the game then that's really bad. I can't imagine why they would take out such a universally loved feature, unless they're planning to put it in Home, in which case that's honestly even worse unless Home is free

I don't agree how that user express it but is true. People have always treated Nintendo like this sacred family friendly company that can't do bad and ignore things like Sakurai working with an IV, Tomodachi Life treating same sex relationships as a glitch, etc.
Wait, to say something is "the Dark Souls of" means to only talk about ladder animations?
They're not wrong. If an EA game took out a fature like the GTS for seemingly no reason there would rightfully be a big backlash. And if said feature was then included in a paid subscription *whistles*.
The removal of GTS is almost as big as the cut Dex for me. It's just game breaking. Trade, a core feature of these games, just became that much harder.
And for what? What was the reason? I'm still in disbelief.
I think one key difference for some is that EA at large is both more anonymous and harder to reach compared to GF. It's easier to separate GF, the developer, into its individual constituents, compared to EA, the publisher. If people were saying 'fuck EA DICE specifically', for example, it would be easier to interpret it as a personal attack toward the specific people who work at that specific team.
Nevertheless, I agree with your overall point.
Oh no, that's more just a stock phrase because people kept comparing different games to Dark Souls.
People want to put Nintendo's name to the decisions Game Freak makes in development. They only have so much power.
The reason is so sell a subscription service but hey don't be mad. Just pay and please think of the poor greedy developer.
I'm a defender of Gamefreak and Pokemon and Nintendo and stuff, but this post is spot on.
In terms of forum discussion the double standard here is clear. If people can say the things they want to about other game devs, Gamefreak should be free game as well. As much as I think a lot of the pokemon controversies are overblown (I agree objectively that taking away features is plain stupidity but that's a different topic for a different thread), there are so many examples of "Fuck _______" on this forum that I believe that there would need to be clarity on the topic.
While I think every single pokemon thread getting shitted up sucks (I've experienced it with games like Xenoblade 2 and others where you just want to talk about the game and stuff you like without getting bombarded with the same 3 debates from every other thread) this kind of double standard can't exist for a level playing field of discussion.
Well if you mean in this case the animation literally looks like Dark Souls, I see it. But I've never understood it in any other case when people described another game facetiously as the "Dark Souls of."
If fans are that displeased they can always just... Not buy the game? :P
Also, criticism is fine. Hijacking a hashtag intended to pay respect to devs, who are currently on the receiving end of fan death threats, is not fine.
I'm hoping it covered in the Nintendo Sub. 60$ game 35$ family plan (for me) 20$ for others yearly and not a Home sun at $$$(?) yearly to use a form of GTS feature that was ripped out of the main games.
I'm pretty sure this is the Legend of Belda argument. I dunno what the Pokemon equivalent would be to name it though.
I am still amazed that $50 Mew got a buy though last year. You'd think more people would have raised a voice about that.
I wouldn't necessarily say Fuck GameFreak as not every issue is there fault but it's weird how hypocritical warnings are done with GameFreak versus other devs.
To be fair, Gamefreak has released patches for graphical glitches and quirks (not performance, but glitches) so this could very well be fixedWait, what?
Pokemon trainer confirmed for smash....as in the trainer herself, with witch time.Wait, what?
