The last time I avoided spoilers about what final form starter evos looked like, I ended up choosing Tepig and having him evolve into loving Emboar so I'm not going that route again. Good idea too or I'd have chosen Fennekin and had to deal with having Stupid Sexy Anthro Ninetales on my team and I'd have to drop the series entirely.

I got this title for free due to my proximity to an idiot who wanted to save $5 on an avatar by having someone else spend $9.95 instead.

It made thematic sense, at least. Can't have fossils on a chain of volcanic islands, after all.

We're like less than a month away and I feel like there's very little info to base that decision on at this point. There's, like, a small handful of revealed exclusives and that's basically it, right?

Fuuuuck. That's a good point. I want to try to go in blind because my interest has waned over the last 2 years but the last time I tried to go in blind was BW and the internet's changed since then. Now there's goddamn youtube thumbnail spoilers.

The gently caress? There's nothing wrong with Delphox. Sure, people are weird about Braixen and that's why she's in Pokken unfortunately, but Delphox doesn't deserve hate for anything but her weirdly static model.

Delphox was cool and Fire/Psychic was a great break from endless fire fighting.

Is there a list of the version exclusives we know about so far?

I think I've usually gravitated towards the "first" games (Red/Gold/Ruby...) but I think I've broken the pattern on a few occasions. (Soul Silver, Y and Ultra Moon.)

Sword would be the "correct" version for me to buy because it matches the pattern and sounds cooler, but I want to say I already remember something being exclusive to Shield that I'd prefer...

I mean "a small handful of ... exclusives" is basically the whole difference anyway beyond box aesthetic and probably one more gym.

At least you got access to all the fossils during the story though. I'll never forgive B2/W2 for the horsehit it pulled making the fossils that debuted that generation post game.

It's a fair trade that they allowed you to get 1 random fossil each day, plus another from the museum shop in join avenue. I was able to IV breed maximum damage Carracosta and freaking Rampardos, the worst of the fossil mons, in little time.

Sure, but so far as I can tell, the only new exclusive content is Ponyta/Sirfetch'd and the fighting/ghost gym. Just seems like they've usually revealed more exclusive content by this point.

Considering that I full expect to be able to snag a farfetchd from the gts and evolve him into sirfetchd in Shield, I am completely basing my decision to buy Shield on wanting the ghost gym and the cooler dog.

Who the gently caress am I kidding anyway, I always buy both eventually :suicide:

On the plus side, I think they aren't going to make any "follow up game" (3rd version, remake, B2W2 or USUM) within this gen and move onto Gen 9.

I bet they'll try their darnest to keep the yearly release schedule, so it's a coin flip if we get a follow up game, sinnoh remakes, both, something completely different or if one of these projects turns out like Z.

Y counts as a first version, god why does no one get this!!

obviously the evil red bird version goes to the charizard-likers and the fae megadeer goes to the cool, chill venusaur and blastoise likers.

This is true but for some reason not explained by modern science many people who usually gravitate towards the second version got X.

Does Diamond and Pearl follow that pattern too? Or is Diamond the "red" one and Pearl the "blue" one despite coloration?

If you pronounce X and Y in french but spell that out phonetically for english speakers, eegrek comes before eeks alphabetically.

Kalos' native language is obviously french but spelled out poorly in katakana, or in anglophone latin letters for the non-japanese.

Therefore, it's actually scientifically confirmed and natural that Y is the charizard version.

The Bee posted:

no it's just y and x that break the pattern, the colour is but one part of the puzzle. True Blue kids got Pearl.
