Did it involve Erik? I can't imagine it being any other way

Erik with two timseshears, Veronica doublecasts sap or whatever spell weakens defense, Erik does the two duplicates thing, Sylvando does a poisoning move, Hero uses an item (you know the one), Veronica doublecasts oomphle on Erik, Erik does that ability that does 6x damage to poisoned people(with three of him using two daggers), boss is almost dead, Sylvando kills with a normal attack

Loved those animations.

If you want to see some hosed up chess 2.0 bullshit check out �fairy chess� and be prepared to lol. Knightmare Chess from Steve Jackson Games was an interesting extension of the game but is long out of print.

Is there like, any genuine reason as to why the team is so small and why they aren't afforded a bigger team?

You can't just buy people with money, you need to spend time training and integrating them too. They presumably already outsource like every other studio.

You can alway end up like Bioware where EA tried to plaster their name on a second studio and it didn't turn out so great.

It wasn't just one extra studio that received the Bioware name. :rip:

Pokemon thread's a lot better 'cause that one guy who's super salty about wasting time on a living dex doesn't post there. And there's actual interesting new stuff we're learning about the game.

But I really wanted to just say that everything should be closed until Animal Crossing comes out. Let's all just go into hibernation for Animal Crossing. It would solve a lot of issues.

"New pokemon", in this context, is referring to the actual creatures, not the games. 2007, 2011, 2013, 2016, and 2019 are the only relevant dates from that tweet, which is an average of three years between generations.

Yes and I'm saying the problem isn't new pokemon it's making a new pokemon game every year

There are several pokemon culls each year, because of the popularity of invasive species from kanto that are brought over as pets. There are more pikachu introduced to the Sinnoh ecosystem just from people abandoning captive-bred pets than native species like pachirisu can breed in a year

I once asked a Tumblr question about Chess to the main designer of Magic cards and he said he thought it was a dated game that couldn�t be commercially released now, because the lack of variance means players have to both be within a certain skill level or one will literally always win� in which case there�s no real stake in playing and it stops being a game. This doesn�t have anything to do with Pok�mon; I�m just bitter because my father was the best chess player in the city and kept insisting I play him when I was five

I've never really been that into the Pokemon games but with subscription based gaming being a thing now i do wonder if it's time for the format to change into an MMO one like it's always kind of mimicked.

I wouldn't be surprised if the the Pokemon fanbase is mad and mature enough to afford ongoing subscriptions and Nintendo/Gamefreak could probably rake in more cash from gamers at �5 a month vs �60 every 3 or so. It would give them a single platform/engine to just keep churning out new pokemon, lands, gyms, badges or whatever on.

Edit: Christ, they could make a free to play (lite) version of it or bundle some version of it with the Switch and watch as they rake in fortnite level numbers.

This is a terrible idea, Pok�mon probably isn�t for you.

Go play something by EA maybe.
