RatHat posted:I just looked up how to get a Lucky Egg in GSC. Wild Chansey have a 2% chance of holding one, and Chansey only have a 1% encounter rate. If my math is right that means you need an average of 50 Chansey to find one, and that's about 5000 total encounters to find 50 Chansey. Actually, it's worse than that. At a 1% encounter rate, you'd need 229 encounters to have a 90% chance of finding a Chansey. Then, if the egg is only held by 2% of Chanseys, you'd need to encounter a chansey (229 encounters) 114 times to have a 90% chance of getting an egg. 229 encounters per chansey at 114 Chanseys for an egg means 26,106 encounters for a 90% chance at a Lucky Egg.

I canceled my preorder for Shield, I made some complaints online (and real life) that this new direction of cutting down on mons was hosed up, especially when the reasoning provided was "to improve balance (lol) and animations (lmao)", and when Masuda made a statement that was basically "well, tough, that's what we are doing anyway" I pretty much left the issue at that, because what else can I do -- I already voted with my wallet and I already said my piece. I was also watching people making funny memes about the Galar border guard and how mons would get pass it, and that was an amusing way to keep the spotlight on the issue without being in any way rude.

Masuda getting all this poo poo flung at him, and quite a few other unrelated people being straight up harassed just because their opinions didn't line up with the angry mob.

Nodosaur posted:Stuff like past games' key items don't really take up much data in the code at all. They're a basic event trigger and a tiny image. If there's anything making the legacy code unwieldy, it's not stuff like that. It's more about the fact that the very code structures still exist for all the crud from the gameboy generations to just be hanging around, which is absurd. The overworld and scripting engine are the kind of thing where to be honest they'd probably have an easier time just starting anew. Work to encapsulate the battle and creature logic into a nice clean isolated logic chunk so it can be brought up, but the rest is fairly standard and they'd be better off inserting pokemon gameplay into a modern framework than trying to patchwork modernise their old stuff. Maybe build off the BotW engine? Or have Nintendo help build their own, but just make sure it has a focus on tooling that'll work well with Pokemon. That takes time, though, which is why I'm thinking it'd be better to do it under the guise of a side game. Say a Pokemon open-world game. Sadly, it seems 'take a drat break' is off the cards.

At most it's gone from "Man it's pretty dumb that they're not having all the pokemon in the big new pokemon game" to "wow there's some crazy pokemon fans out there".

MikeJF posted:At this point I think the best solution would be to have Nintendo work on a 'side' game like how Let's Go was a side game which is intended to provide the new engine and tooling and scripting for future mainline Pokemon games, since reading between the lines it sounds like they're hampered by horrific legacy code and frameworks but don't have time with the endless yearly cycle to build something new and better from scratch. It's time for Pokemon Snap 2

Pharohman777 posted:They could could justify the limited dex in sword and shield by saying that galar's government doesn't want to risk foreign pokemon becoming an invasive species if brought in and they breed. IIRC, the stated explanation is actually that the Pokemon not in the Dex don't particularly want to come to Galar because of, e.g., the weather.

How did they still have Withdraw/Deposit/Move/Move Items all the way into Gen V. I really hope SwSh is touchscreen enabled for organising and dragging these things around. Lots of devs ignore the Switch touch. MikeJF fucked around with this message at 16:39 on Jul 3, 2019 |

Unfortunately, the Pokémon fandom is huge, so there are plenty of assholes do go apeshit about it. I’m just done with the whole thing and sick of hearing it. It’s happening, it sucks, it’s not going to change for SwSh. You’re free to be mad and not buy the game or be hype for it, and you’re also free to just feel vaguely like it sucks but also not care that much. But instead we’ve had a month long temper tantrum that’s now developing into the loudest voices becoming absolute loving assholes.

Yeah, personally the only time I ever tried to go for full Dex completion was in Gen 1 and have never bothered transferring Pokemon from gen to gen, instead just focusing more on getting a decent team together and then treating the rest of the game like a standard RPG. In other words, I honestly don’t care about half the poo poo people are complaining about and instead just plan to judge SwSh on its own merits. I understand why these changes might upset some people but I also don’t really think it deserves quite this level of fan outcry either.

What was the deal with leaving the Island Scan Pokemon out of the Alola dex anyways? Even if they followed a tedious pattern to get they were more reliable than some of the ultra rare new Pokemon. Did they just not feel like writing the flavour text for them or something?

I guess the method required might be a bit difficult for younger fans or children (basically the same reason/excuse as to why the Azure Flute never saw any distribution), so they didn't make it mandatory. Heck, I sometimes forget it exists (although for most of the Pokemon, I've already got one trained in a previous game).

Cipher Pol 9 posted:Congrats on being a rational human being. The number of people jumping to the worst conclusions about this game based on how little we actually know about it is wild. Like, the only thing we know that's new is Dynamaxing and the Wild Area. If you believe the leak then there's still giganta whatever and camping coming at the very least. I'm an optimist so of course I do, but I think there's plenty more to show off and everyone outside of the die hard National Dexers will change their tune once we learn about it. IMO, what they really need to do is show off the features of Home rather than SwSh. If it isn't subscription-based and includes battling, confirming that would go a long way to appease the fanbase. But SwSh stuff could also help. Reveal Sirfetch'd and Galaran Meowth already!
