Soundtrack variety chat: this was much less jarring in the 2d days. Each track was a "vibe" and having the exact same theme for all dungeons, battles, towns, etc reinforced the contexts of each zone nicely. It paired well with the lo fi pixel art aesthetics.

It doesn't work as well when the game looks this gorgeous though

The soundtrack was so repetitive that for a long stretch of the game I just turned it off and played Debussy in Spotify as I went. It worked pretty well until I made my peace with the fact that the soundtrack is 75% scales.

I'll have to say, this Pokemón-discussion has been eye-opening. I would never have imagined that there could be some sort of digital zoo for your combat animals, for example.

Now I feel slightly bad because I'm emotionally incapable of caring for electronic animals enough to want to put them into storage for future use

This post made me curious to see the oldest 'mons I could dig up. I wasn't able to find my Red cart, but somehow my sister's Blue cart made its way into my possession. After cleaning out some exploded batteries, here's her Elite 4 team from circa 1999, when she was about 10 years old:



Charizard carrying the team. That's my Gold cart, but sadly it had no game saved on it. Dunno if I wiped it or if the internal battery died. I also found my old Yellow cart, but it just had ~4 hours of gameplay on it.

Anyone playing Stretchers? My wife and I have found a few hidden golden presents so far... but don't know what to do with them. They don't get picked up by the stretcher like mission objects, nor will it go into the ambulance. Are we just finding them too soon, before the game lets us collect them?

The internal clock on Gold and Silver apparently drained the internal battery in those games much faster than in other GB ones, so I think most of the carts are dead by now :(

I think my oldest is a team from my Emerald/Fire Red games circa 2005~2006 that I believe a fellow goon might still have the .pkm files when I used a DS flashcart to extract the saves.

Led by a Wartortle, Blaziken, and Chimecho. :( The Dexit thing isn't "I can't believe I can't have all 900 Pokemon!!" it's "My favorites are stuck in an app forever"

Hey, Johnny, what's a "shitpost"?
I was really confused by all the Pokemon chat and then I realized it's because I treat Pokemon games as RPGs. There's no good reason why my Sword/Shield duder would have any connection with the other boys/girls from other regions, so why would he have their Pokemon? And then it's like "oh yeah most people don't do that" so I guess that makes sense? This whole thing 1000% doesn't matter to me but I guess I can sorta see why other people might be bothered.

It's literally a bunch of people who don't know anything about game development assuming game freak is being lazy because they aren't doing what they think they should. There's a while slew of things that could point to laziness and the pokedex is not one of them.

Didn't see this posted yet but a lot of games are on sale, including big first party titles. The times are changing.

Very very good, I was hoping Zelda would get a big cut, let’s see if any further deals pop up as we get closer to Black Friday. My dream right now is system+game at base price.

My dream is world peace, but since that is unattainable I might as well wish for something equally unobtainable, so I wish for an official English localization of Mother 3 to be released and sold in English-speaking regions.

What the gently caress, he seems like one of the only Pokémon that vaguely fits the sword/shield theme. He’s a metal klinky thing, he’s basically a shield.
