- Thread starter Xavi
- Start date
y'all remember those starter leaks?
Whoever drew these up, knew.
Seriously the water and fire starters from this look better than the ones in Gen 8 somehow. I still love that water starter! So cute.
They kinda do compared to monolith. Xenoblade X took monolith 5 years to make, with only the relatively smaller scope project X zone project in between , which monolith only co developed (alongside banpresto).
gamefreak can't afford to take that length of time off releasing games in the Pokémon series, even if it would result in a better game.
Like the little patches on its nose and feet are made of steel? Huh, that could be neat and fit into the armour thing
I love when electricity produces the sound of metal scraping against metal.
encounters are not random, and when you initiate a battle, you fight a group of monsters in the overworld
I have mixed feelings but well... I have a question for you (I don't know if you talked about it before):
Based on what we saw, do you think we are going to have free camera or not?
I think not, but there is a small light inside me telling me maybe the camera is free...

I think it looked pretty promising, but this is with the understanding it's still fairly early in development. I imagine the textures would get tidied up a bit by final release.
Have to admit it is disappointing for them not to take the Let's Go lead on encounters and riding Pokemon (although we can't confirm that isn't possible just yet). I could understand them forgoing it if they were planning to create a much more open, expansive path, but the increment in environmental freedom here doesn't look like that big of a jump.
All-in-all, it's got my attention. Just hope the final polish will really make this the console gen premiere we've been hoping for.

I'm getting ahead of myself but how long was it between the reveal and then the steady drip of new Pokemon reveals for Sun/Moon? I remember following those pretty closely and then imaging different teams I could put together once they'd all been shown off.
I highly doubt this is a problem of time development.
This is just Game Freak.
Little do you all know, the whole concept of Pocket Monsters originated in Yorkshire.

So yes, Pokemon is coming home.

This looks totally as expected. I'm sure it'll be quite fun. It'll be interesting to see how it compares to Yokai Watch in terms of world building and environments.
I just really fail to understand why people get so excited about new Pokemon, as in, the creatures themselves. Yeah, they can often look really cool, but they're just cosmetic. It's not like in Smash where it's new characters that actually noticeably change how it feels to play the game and what you can do etc. The slow drip feed of new Pokemon for the internet to get excited about is going to be the most boring aspect of these new games.

??? No I was waiting for XD looking pokemon since switch can clearly handle that graphics and a lot more. Also calling something "edgy" doesn't make your opinion more valid.
I'm underwhelmed, but apparently It was unreasonable to me expect anything more than the bare minimum.
At that point, your Charizard is practically family! I have a 100% legit shiny Mew from the Japanese Old Sea Map that an ex-girlfriend gave me for Valentine's Day one year. She apparently went through hell to get it for me, so I need it forever.
I really wouldn't place those two(camera and exploration) into the same category. At least regarding the second half of your reply there will of course be guiding along and scripted blocks. Hopefully less than SM and I think it's a safe bet to say we'll be getting more open and branching routes as well.
The trailer literally didn't show a single new feature this gen. It was made to show how the game updated what we currently knew of the series, not to necessarily show anything new. For instance, we know nothing of the whole stadium bit. Maybe it's just a gym, but the player wearing a completely different outfit says otherwise. All we know is it'll have badges + E4 and random battles which isn't much
... Wow
This is actually very interesting, coincidence or not.
I figured the money would be the female looking starter this gen because of its sift shape and hair stick. Would be interesting if they go for a grown up ppg look.
They specifically said Grookey was a chimp, so my guess is that he evolves into a Gorilla. Grass/Rock is my guess on typing.
??? I think you're misunderstanding what I'm saying. metal scraping on metal is a fairly distinct sound. We hear that when it runs along the wheel. How would electricity produce the same sound?
Can't say I'm 100% on board. Grookey is definitely better than the monkey-lemur hybrid we seem to have here. The bunny is impressively on point (people are finally getting decent at doing fakemons, it seems). I do wish we'd gotten a Platypus though.
Don't even think this will be 1080.
Personally, MK8D, ARMs, BOTW, and Odyssey/Xeno2 in some parts spoiled me in 2017
Not just pokemon, but generally a lot of the games since then haven't looked close enough to that level for my liking.
Though I thought Kirby looked good though despite 30 FPS. But other games can't even touch MK8, BOTW on Wii U tbh.

It still hurts.
If these were legit it'd be the first time I absolutely adored all three starters since D/P/Pt. But they're not.
Not feeling any of these three; definitely going to take time and seeing the evolutions to make my call. None of them are jumping out at me.
Because that's the noise that electrical things like generators make.
Is Sobble a basilisk?
This looks surprisingly great to me lol. I´m not the biggest Pokemon fan, but this reveal just had me thinking the game looks FUN for some reason. Very appealing.
I meant that in context of my following sentence. Early enough where textures and graphical polish can obviously still be worked on.
These look like teenagers, just like BW and XY protagonists
What if this is all we got from main-line Zelda titles (locked top down, same fighting style):
And this is all we got from main-line Mario titles (2d platforming):
I'm sure people would be content and happy, but their evolutions truly helped their franchises reach great heights, it is just a shame GameFreak wont take that risk as well.

Yeah, aside from the faces. Game Freak really needs to work on improving those.
That's why the whole "just shut up and enjoy these games" is such a disappointing thing to say. Like if developers never evolved, or fans never complained about the direction of their franchise, we'd be getting the same things.
I also wish Game Freak realized that kids aren't the only major demographic anymore. You have young adults - adults playing from Gen I - VI still playing. Pokemon Go showed us that Pokemon has hit a crazy amount of people both young and old. This isn't a kiddie franchise anymore. This is an all-ages franchise.
DAMN.
That reveal was hot. From my ass, is it me or does this look like Breath of the Wild engine? or its likely the LetsGo engine?
Not sure how i feel about Grookey and Sobble, they seem like they lack some uniqueness. but Sobble gets my vote for my starter!
