Pikachu is cuter than Clefairy and a superior mascot.

Jigglypuff is better than both though.

This is true. I can only hope that the 3rd version is Jigglypuff-centric.

pikachu wasn't on either of the games that came out first though

That's true, but the anime was huge for the franchise and Pikachu was definitely the face of the anime. When I was a kid, I didn't even know that it was a video game series. I just knew about the cartoon and trading cards.

Capsule it anyway. Hustle Durant has a very slight niche, in that it makes Hone Claws better than Swords Dance.

One version of the game for every pokemon in existence. It's the only one you can get and all the trainers have between 1 to 6 of that Mon or its evolution stages.

I'm just really underwhelmed at Game Freak for (potentially) going the route of yet another Gen 1 remake.

This is it; twenty years we've been waiting for a full-fledged console Pokemon game, and after all this time they finally decide to pull the trigger on it and it's just a refurbishment job. No new locales, no new pokemon, no new anything really; just taking the pixels into 3D and calling it a day.

They've been milking the nostalgia factor for way too long with this series, ever since X and Y came out. I sincerely hope that these are nothing but rumors and that they're legit making a new Gen game with all the bells and whistles on it, not just another nostalgia cash-grab.

I still don't know why people hear "Kanto" and assume "FireRedder"/"LeafGreenier". There's never been a remake as the first entry in a given generation/console iteration, I don't know why the assumption is that the switch will suddenly do that.


Now if they had released a switch entry and then started talking about Kanto I'd be more worried, but as it is I'm not gonna stress about it until we hear more for real.

Otoh the player character kills his raticate and takes the pokemon champion title from him like 30 seconds after he wins it initially which kind of makes you the dick (although I always played Blue version so maybe I really was gary all along :ohdear:)

Speaking of, I know that "You killed Blue's Raticate" is generally one of those "retroactively applying edgy themes to a children's game", but did the designers ever say anything about what the actual intent of that whole "missing raticate and Blue's in Lavender Town" sequence was, or nah

I've seen/read a lot of material involving the demise of Blue's Raticate and the only one I enjoyed has been Festival of Champions

Precedent isn't a good predictor since Gamefreak has been breaking precedent since like Gen 5.

It's been a long rear end time since I've played FireRed/HeartGold. I don't mind going back to Kanto if they can do interesting things with it, which I'm sure they will. Please don't lock us into only the original 151/new evolutions, though. That would suck.

Keep the "Go" capture mechanics out of this, though, unless they're optional.

I think I might be the only person in here who'd prefer Pikachu version over Eevee version.

Bank will be on Switch when it needs to be on Switch. Why would they put it on Switch before a Pokemon game exists for it?

I’m sorry, but basically anything is cooler than an ugly loser Pokémon that was made the mascot of two separate generations without ever being given a non-ridiculous design. Mewtwo isn’t actually terrible but it’s nowhere near cool enough to get 780 BST.
