- Start date
It's all Pokemon
The main character is a human who got turned into a Pokemon and now lives in the Pokemon world. But you don't really ever see them as a human and it's something you just sort of forget about, although it gets brought up a lot.
There are only Pokémon, but humans exists in the universe and it's a big plot point of the story of this game.
No humans aside from you (Who has been turned into a Pokemon). That's not to say every character in the series is a Polemon though.
I love PMD, I'm so happy it is not dead. Its been so long since super I really thought they wouldn't touch the series again. I legitimately like PMD more than the mainline games - specially now with everything surrounding SwSh
Its a remake, not a new entry, but its still means new games are possible

I have fond memories of Blue Rescue Team, and booting up the demo gave me that instant hit of nostalgia. Even though I'm not sure yet what to think of the new art style, the game still has most of its charm. Sadly, I feel that the gameplay has not held up well - something about it just doesn't feel right. It's this strange combination of the transition to 3D, a bit of apparent input lag, and the strict grid-based nature of the mechanics that just doesn't mesh well for me. It feels ... clunky. I hope that perhaps some of that is resolved in the proper release by addressing some of the control input issues.
Blue Rescue Team is a great game, it'll be nice to revisit the story with those updated graphics
Mystery Dungeon are: Good stories, lots of content and extremely simple and repetitive gameplay.
Still prefer the sprites in the original. I feel like hand-drawn Pokémon instead of the same 3D models we've seen for years would've fit way better given how the backgrounds look. That being said I love the art style and I'm impressed with how expressive they made the 3D models.
And I was not ready for the nostalgia wave from the music. It felt like I was in 2006 again 😭

Man the demo is pretty good. It's just like how I remembered it, the story in these ones is top tier too. Came out of no where and I'm psyched for it in March.
Wow, so that demo was super fun. I'm happy to have finally discovered this series. I can already tell this game will scratch my annual Poke-itch if I don't like what I hear about the Sword/Shield expansions.
Playing a game with (mostly) Gen 3 or earlier Pokemon is going to be wild in 2020
Makes you want to make a Netbattle team and post on NSider speculating about Manyula's and Manene's english names

aw man, they added in the pushing mechanics from Super Mystery Dungeon. I really wasn't a fan of those.
Let's all be honest. We all gonna have to spend 10s it hours trying to get every Pokémon to be friended with friend zones. And I am more than happy to do it again.

When I first heard Thunderwave Cave I lost myself. It's a banger.
I finished the demo, and I'm feeling nostalgic. Definitely some QOL changes either new or brought over from Super (being able to change leaders without having to do post-game like in the original is appreciated). March is just going to be this and Animal Crossing for me.
I always found playing as pokemon to be much more interesting than playing as trainers. Might be the first Switch game I pick up in a while.
Now they just need to remake Explorers of Sky, solely for that sweet, sweet final boss theme remix.

The entire game is turn based, right down to movement (one step is one turn). Co-op really wouldn't work.
the original games had a password system that allowed players from either version to come to the dungeon you were exploring and rescue you (which in your game fully restored you and your teammates)
there has never been any sort of "true" online in the sense that you're playing with another person
Nah B-Leg I hated that shit, I had to google each time because I'll be damned if I don't get to use my fav lol
Thought the art-style was slightly questionable at first, but I'm reeeeally coming around on it. I still don't know if I care for the way the animations are handled, but I get why they're the way that they are.
Definitely going to pick this up sometime down the line because I am a fool and nostalgia has a hold on me for these games, but probably not at launch.

That's the beauty. Thankfully they gave you guys the option to pick too. Win win take notes Gamefreak 👀
Yea I was making my way through the thread, found out about that shortly after seeing your post lol
Win win indeed
There's a slight curiosity in wondering what they'll give you, but then that instantly goes away the minute they give me a Skitty lol
I might reset and play as Treecko... I picked Charmander because that's who I picked back in 06 but I'm itching for something new.
How am I supposed to choose who to pick?
Without even counting the starters, Eevee, machop, and Cubone were like my top 3 first stage Pokemon back during R/B, and then you have Psyduck, Pikachu (can they evolve on Red/Blue Rescue Team, I can't remember?), plus Bulbasaur (Ivysaur is best Pokemon), Squirtle, all three Johto starters, and Mudkip.

Thought I wasn't getting a Pokémon game till Detective Pikachu 2, but I really liked the original and never played the 3DS games despite buying one or two, so I'm down! I do wish it was a new game or remake of one I haven't played, but if this leads to more of them...
There's also something about the art style that feels a tiny bit off, hmm. I really like what they're going for, but I think they're a little too close to the regular models/designs still; I feel like they could have stylized them a bit more? Certainly glad to see them try something vs stuff like the Mario & Luigi remakes, though.
