An uncountable number, to be sure.

You're really going to struggle to get an objective answer anywhere because it's extremely polarizing. Some people are thinking it's the absolute worst most insulting thing ever, and others are very excited.

The game has flaws, some of which may be frustrating. If you can accept that, get the game and have fun! If not, you're probably better off giving the game a miss and either playing something more worth your money or join the dead horse beating riot.


I think it's gonna be ok. Not amazing, not mindblowing. But it'll be ok and I'll grab it.

Sounds good to me. I have not once in my life expected to have my mind blown by a pokemon game.

2 questions:

1) If I bought the new zealand version, how many hours from now does it unlock (Is it midnight their time?)
2) Is there a list somewhere of new pokemon movesets/stats that isn't just a straight up text dump from the leak

Ice-Bug sounds cool. That's a new combination iirc.

Edit: Also a terrible combination, now that I think about it?

I've been completely out of the loop on this but when I noticed it was coming out soon I encountered the abstract idea of controversy without any details. Someone explain: is this game good or bad?

Roughly on par with the 3DS games probably.

People's frustrations are essentially with the last 2 gens having obvious lacks of polish and unfinished or missing features. Then a total eruption was caused by this new gen on the new home console suddenly cutting a bunch of stuff, while not appearing to have done much improvements in the other departments, but costing more than previous entries.

That's it for new ones but this is a really good gen for bugs. Vikavolt, Galvantula, Butterfree(only mentioning because it gets a gigantamax), Ninjask, Shedinja, Vespiqueen(though heal order doesn't exist anymore), Ribombee, Golisopod, Drapion, Durant(who gets First impression now :shepface:), Flygon(okay it's not technically a bug but come on), and more.

Also 2 of the new bugs get gigantamaxes.

Apparently to evolve Farfetch’d you need to KO 3 Pokémon with it in a single battle. That’s kinda annoying.
oh wow that's a cool mechanic actually - until I remember watching the stream and seeing that most trainers had 2 pokemon with them

IDK if it'll unlock at midnight (I don't see why not?) but you're looking at 28 hours and 12 minutes from now.

I'm going to sort of effortpost about Jynx and what the gently caress that whole deal was before bed.

In the Gen 1 beta materials there's an ice-type called Boo that formed a trio with Magmar (Boober) and Electabuzz(Eleboo). It was pretty transparently just a ripoff of a rather distinctive Ultraman monster called Woo, which was both a yuki-onna and a yeti and they were afraid they would get sued by Tsurubaya, who had been rather trigger happy due to a long and deeply terrible series of legal battles with their former Thai distribution partner who tried to claim the full franchise rights to Ultraman.

So they changed it into an opera singer that was also some sort of mollusc because who the gently caress even knows. Everything about early pokemon is pretty much complete nonsense and rear end-backwards design like the lead artist having to reverse-engineer the pokemon designs from the loving spritework.

Also Electabuzz is a knockoff of Eleking, another much more famous Ultraman monster, and Magmar probably is too because that's what happens when you have a franchise that's existed since motherfucking 1966.

Given how many children I meet who are terrified about climate change I do appreciate that this game has put an unremittingly bleak reference to it in here; it’s a way of making a game appeal to children that’s a bit bolder than a difficulty level is

Golem is a pretty blatant Ultraman monster ripoff too.

At least half of the posts under that are making fun of the people pushing it. I did find this gem though:

Japanese fans have apparently turned on Charizard too. I'm kind of amused.
