I want a Pokemon that's just a regular rat, and it has two evolutions. The second stage is 3 rats with their tails tied together, and the third stage is a massive rat king that's just a ball of rats entangled together.

This is an excellent excuse to get that Normal / Ghost type I've always wanted. Also make it have Levitate, and suddenly Normal Arceus and Marshadow are fearing a ball of rats!

Game Freak just shot themselves in the foot.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about Pokemon (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in Yo-Kai Watch where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in Pokemon, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.

What this means is the japanese public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase Pokemon Gen VIII, nor will they purchase any of Game Freak's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Game Freak has alienated an entire market with this move.

Game Freak, publicly apologize and cancel Pokemon Gen VIII or you can kiss your business goodbye.

Whoops I had this set to autopost in a few hours.

Pokémon for Xbox confirmed.

What do you guys expecting? I think this will just look graphically similar to Let's Go games but with the staple catching mechanic.
Is that enough?
For me?
Lets go visuals and similar to ORAS/XY gameplay/storywise would be pretty Nice already. Bet my kids Will like that too. (9 and 6, both played the crap out of ORAS/XY/SM/USUM)

The three of us Will be tuning in live for sure this afternoon

I still can't believe they made these and did not use them during battles.

Haven't played Pokemon since Diamond and I didn't like let's go at all. Is this new game most likely going to have all generations in it? Genuinely confused lol

It's gonna have a selection of Pokémon from all the generations yes. And it won't be like Let's Go so don't worry

i read a lot of pokemon fanfiction(not that kind), so just by searching for new stories i see things that would ruin most peoples childhoods.
Look - I've seen Poképorn. But I didn't know the petting mechanic was seen as lewd...

Why is Goodra one of the most popular Pokémon to do porn for? I get Lucario or Blaziken or Gardevoir or Incineroar - they all have a strong, humanoid, furry appeal to them. But Goodra is like the goofiest looking goo monster.

Fixed that.
200 % Logos, CGI Trailer, footage and starters revealed, as it is a 7 minute direct.
2% that GameFreak has its breath of the wild moment, i hope it, but doubt it. Let's go was for me the worst path the series ever has taken

What do you mean by "all generations"? Do you mean every Pokemon from every Gen? If so, then yes, that's practically guaranteed. Let's Go is just a one-off occurrence (for now, we could get more similar games in the future).

The last mainline Pokemon games I really got into were Gold/Silver, so for me it's obviously been a very long time. It's a series I've always observed from afar, more impressed in the longevity of its generational spanning fandom, but haven't been drawn to titles since the aforementioned. Which isn't a criticism of the games or formula, so much as my own evolving tastes and priorities.

So I guess as a baseline, I hope Generation 8 on Switch demonstrates something that hooks me back in. I don't know what that could be, and I'm not holding the reveal up to any particular vague standard, but it'd be nice to be excited for a mainline Pokemon.

If not, that's fine. I do hope for more avid Pokemon fans Gen 8 on Switch is a demonstrable evolution of both the core design and the technical presentation. I know GameFreak aren't exactly known for production crushing technical accomplishments and presentation, but it'd be nice if there's some Wow Factor in the reveal more than a predictable look and technical benchmark that follows the standard perspective and design tropes fans have become accustomed to.

And as a side, if Nintendo really want to blow me away, I'll take a Pokemon Snap 2 please.

Going by how indepth that post is, im assuming you already know the answer. Dragons are popular with furries for whatever reason.

Yeah it should, if it's not the reaction will be more entertaining than the actual game
Perfect, thanks all!

Guys I got insider information. You heard it here first.
They are blending Pokémon with Yu-Gi-Oh! in a brand new collaboration. To catch the Pokémon now you have to Duel them in a game of Yu-Gi-Oh! first to weaken them. Based in Duelist Kingdom.

For real though, I am looking forward to the reveal! I just hope I haven't hyped myself up only to get a logo. I really hope there will be footage.

What would be the most controversial of these:

  • Lets Go Catching Mechanics (Optional)
  • No Random Encounters
  • No Wild Battles (Only catching)

No wild battles for sure. People actually want random encounters to stay gone, and an optional catching mechanic would be whatever.
But remove wild battles like Let's Go and we riot (it's not gonna happen though, they said as much)

Definitely the third one. Most people would accept the Let's Go Mechanics if they were optional, and Pokemon appearing on the overworld seemed to be one of the accepted changes in Let's Go. No Wild Battles at all would definitely garner the most hate.
