Actually caught up with the thread now and holy poo poo you morons arguing about experience share are lame. Rip the challenging story that six year olds never regularly beat rip the classic and flavourful battle style of “Magikarp I choose you! Good job Magikarp- return! Go Alakazam!” “Enemy Ekans used Leer!” “My least favourite thing about the wonderful new mons is that I can naturally find and catch them and have them end up being useful to fight gym leaders and baddies even though I didn’t walk around in a circle punching fat squirrels for an hour” Edgar Allen Ho fucked around with this message at 07:19 on Nov 4, 2019 |

If this game is similar then the change is a net negative for me, why would I not post about it? There's a lot of difference between faceroll easy and just easy.

Why is not allowing a perfectly serviceable option that was in previous games the hill people are willing to die on I’m just baffled more than anything else

I mean, from a design perspective removing the option means you can actually plan the difficulty curve (for preschoolers) around the now-default. Dunno if they did that but “why remove the option” has a pretty obvious answer

they'd already done a plenty fine job planning the difficulty curve around exp share being off for several games now

my opinion on the exp share and difficulty curve is that it definitely should've stayed toggleable, and also, that they should bring back BW2's challenge mode so that enemy trainers are actual fights rather than exp/money pinatas who cannot hope to stand against you, and so that bosses will have respectable amounts of pokemon

Share was the default the last two gens running! Nothing is gained from this change, that’s what makes it baffling and why it’s so baffling that people are lining up for weird potshots over it. If someone’s bothering to deliberately turn it off they know what they’re in for so the game shouldn’t be balanced around them in the first place.

I've been kinda on the fence about SwSh, mainly because I don't want to get burned again by a third version or Ultra SwSh, but the new designs are very cool and my partner and a lot of my friends are getting it. Peer pressure wins again! I don't plan on teambuilding too much aside from getting Grookey and improvising from there. I guess I really need to revisit my old games and finish up some quests I neglected, though. Whoops.I am Reverend posted:You should be able to not get any exp ever like when serebii got that copy protected leaked version of Pokemon black Uh excuse me but Serebii themself said that no exp was just a feature of BW's tutorial and it would be distributed normally once the player left the tutorial any time now eventually

Brother Entropy posted:the most important question no one is asking: which galar pokemon will end up as jessie and james' new buddies I think the Hatterene line might be Jesse's new Pokemon for the region, The Toxcel line will be Jame's new Pokemon, and they'll have an Impidimp who just kind of follows them around and harasses them. Edit: Oh, and the fox Pokemon might go to one of them too.

I'm so happy about how many Ice-types there are now  Also Arctozolt is the first non-Rotom Electric/Ice type which is a brutally amazing STAB combo; Rotom-F had it wasted with its Blizzard-only Ice STAB. Hopefully these weirdo fossils are actually good.

Speaking of these are our first non-rock fossils, aren’t they. That’s kind of neat. And i just had a crazy thought... what if the other version has it’s own 4 fossils made up of the missing parts. Avalerion fucked around with this message at 10:54 on Nov 4, 2019 |
