I still think it's possible but it's just that next week is more likely
To be fair it makes sense not to release information over Christmas
I really hope it sells more than BDSP.
People who usually buy both versions could buy this twice too, digital and physical, or maybe two physical copies and keep one sealed. Just saying.
I think 10-13 million.
There's minimal chance it'll reach the heights of a new gen game. Whether it'll beat a remake is unclear
Yeah I can't say I'm super sure either, but I'm very optimistic on it
I think it will be less front loaded but will end up having stronger legs than most mainline games because of how unique it is. It won't stop selling when a new gen comes, it might actually see an increase. If word of mouth is good and streamers take interest in the game like they do with BotW or MH, it could have huge legs.
I really prefer to not know too much before the game releases, especially this one. Kind of how Nintendo didn't show too much of BotW before the release.
I think we know pretty much all the essential stuff regarding the gameplay loop, overall design etc?
I just hope there's a lot of unshown content so it doesn't have too much of that "oh yeah I've already seen that in a trailer" feeling during the whole game.
To be honest, I haven't been that excited for a main Pokémon game since Gen 5, which means a lot.

I'm honestly super excited for this. Especially seeing the combat gifs a few pages back really made me realize how much better this looks than SwSh combat. I really hope they can nail the gameplay loop on this, what with how big of a departure it is. That's my biggest concern rn I think.
I feel we barely know anything about the gameplay loop. We know there are survey missions where we have to battle/catch Pokémon, and there are boss fights with action mechanics, but other than that we don't know anything.
The fact we know so little is making it hard for me to prepare content structure on the site haha
Hoping this one is good, I know almost nothing about the game apart from the first trailer and a couple new Pokemon reveals. The zoned large areas seems like a good idea, it'll be interesting to see what ends up being liked with these games and if anything gets carried over into the next set of games, for gen 9.
It does feel like, unfortunately, Legends will sell less than BDSP. This is why we can't have nice things. We don't deserve them.
It saddens me so much to hear that because it might be true. Let's hope for the best though!
Wouldn't that mean we wouldn't actually get to see the previews until next week?
This is the first Pokemon game to pique my interest in years. Here's hoping it turns out well.
I interpreted it as they'll be posting their previews at the end of the week, could be that they post the previews next week and just actually get the previews this week
I definitely think this game will sell less. Sure, the big media blowout hasn't happened yet, but I was surprised over the holidays when my girlfriend's little brother, who loves Pokemon along with all his little friends in school, had never heard of Legends until I brought it up when I saw him play Shining Pearl.
A lot of more casual people are probably still playing the remakes and don't expect another game (and something as major as what Legends seems to be) to come out so soon after the holidays. It'll definitely sell well over time though if the reviews are good

Depends if the preveiw are coming at the end of the week or next week
even if previews are next week they may want to give the trailer some room to breathe. We'll see though
I know it's nowhere near your level, but I'm feeling similarly about guides-writing for this. :P
even better
looks like the previews are actually releasing this week
That makes me think we will get a trailer this week, it makes sense to release a trailer before embargo releases
Looking forward to more info. I really want this to be a fresh Pokémon experience. Doesn't have to be world changing. Pokémon with some MH mechanics would be fine
Should we expect leaks soon considering the media has the game now?

Some people still don't realize this game isn't even open world, so nah they haven't been clear on the gameplay loop/progression. There have been a lot of Monster Hunter comparisons, but we still don't know how accurate that is. Is the game mission based like MH where you complete the mission and return to base, or is it merely zone based and we can explore open areas that are merely segmented? Hard to say.
Agreed, i don't think it's legit at all. I do think it's intresting she thinks Gen 9 started in 2018 which is possible
Hope the game is not similar to monster hunter. Do not like that saga. Hope it is something more similar to a not fully open world skyrim, Botw or xenoblade…
I still want to know how the EXP Curve is being handled in this game. If Stats are being modified, maybe they can finally adjust the EXP required per level to accommodate for the new EXP Share so you don't end up 10 levels over every other pokemon midway through the game.
I think the Monster Hunter Comparison is even more wrong than the BotW Comparisons.
Monster Hunter is a Limited Time Quest Based (one at a time) Game that sends you from a hub to a segmented Area. It meant to played in2-4 Player Co-Op. Something that Legends doesn't feature.
So the only similar thing I see between the two Games, Is that you take quest in a Hubtown and then choose the area where you start. The Quests that you choose doesn't seem to be time limited it also appears as could you do more than one Quests at the Same Time including Sidequests. It doesn't look like that you are being teleported back to the hub when you completed your mission.
The Only thing we know is that it is not fully open world. It seems to be five big areas. And it's not clear if they are complety separated or If you can go from one area to another If the Progression allow it.
