It has that icon on the pokemon stat card that tells you it was caught or bred in a gen 6 game. Anti-cheating/importing dumb obscure bullshit from really old promotional events measure.

Look that other player obviously didn't deserve to win and so this guy just ran out the close and was DQed, which totally isn't a loss because he had a non-KO'd Pokemon. That he'd have been ruled as the loser by literally any competitive gaming judge on the planet is irrelevant in their special reality. I dream of seeing a meltdown like this in person at a gaming tournament.

Nintendo deserves an award for having what is by far the worst online services of any major gaming company.

Like, "people who go inactive get their poo poo nuked" is one of the biggest rules for things you don't do if you want people to ever come back to your service. Instead they nuke pokemon people store because they don't want to keep storing what's likely not even a terrabyte of data (and if it is, they clearly have enough used to pay for that extra space). If they weren't idiots they could have a "hey did you use the bank in the past? Well sign up with this offer to get X for Y duration at Z cost" but that would require them to actually give a drat I guess. :shrug:

I mean he does that in platinum. The most you go do is follow him inside to make sure Giratina isn't still super pissed.

No, in the game he wants to destroy Giratina so he can do the plan all over again and make it work this time. The player stops him by catching Giratina so it can't be destroyed and Cyrus will be trapped there forever. So I appreciate that in all the adaptations of Platinum they change it so that now he's a weirdo who instead just goes to parallel world and sits down and says "whatever you didn't win i won this is what i wanted" like a tiny child

With so many remakes/third version features returning for this game, including basically join avenue which was from the one game the director didn't touch, i'm honestly expecting pokemon to follow you on whatever game ends up on the Switch.

Well after you beat him he decides to just live the rest of his life in The Void anyway. So it's not that different a characterisation.

In a just world, Nintendo would announce a Pokemon game for the Switch as a launch title but with Sun/Moon coming out so closely to that console launch it probably isn't feasible. Pokken doesn't count.

In my heart of hearts I wish that Pokemon Crazy Diamond and Pokemon Pearl Jam will come out for 3DS and Pokemon Star Platinum will be a Switch title with a couple of extra features but mostly running a solid 30fps and rendered at 720.

They'll announce a re-release. And maybe that Pokemon Sun/Moon 2 will also be released for the Switch later.

Because the Switch seems to be more of a handheld system and they probably won't want the 3ds to compete in the same market as their shiny new system for too long.

They certainly would not make the next mainline pokemon game into a Switch exclusive, yeah. Maybe once Gen 8 starts.

But still, SM is pretty neat looking and the pokemon models are pretty complex already, so the ability of seeing them in 720 rather than 240 and running smoothly sounds like a dream come true. Just a port would be everything I want for now.

Gamefreak did not say that the next pokemon game would be on Switch. They just said that they are developing something for Switch, which could be a spin-off or even just something as simple as a Pokken port.

It was the same for me, but apparently they have deleted other people's. What did you have in yours? I just had maybe 15 pokemon--I remove all of the stuff I care about when I know I won't be re-subbing--so I imagine that wouldn't even be worth culling.

There was a pokemon game developed for the Wii U and put out close to launch. Rumble Wii U. It's not gonna be a mainline pokemon game on the switch. It's probably not even gonna be a XD/Colosseum style game.

It'll probably be a version of shuffle with better style and without the nightmare F2P systems.

They said that they were developing something for the Switch, not that it was necessarily even a Pokémon game, much less a mainline game.

I imagine that this generation will be a lot like Gen 5 where there Game Freak starts to put spin offs on the Switch while any additional mainline games this generation stay on the 3DS.
