Remember everyone, if you are having trouble with DK64, tweet Graham Linehan and he should be able to help. No matter what time it is.

Shaymin in BDSP, free patch for Arceus, both today. Stuff on Cafe/GO/Unite/Battle Masters as well.

And of course Gen 9. Pokemon Scarlet/Violet.

Anyway I wonder if Gen 9 will follow the Arceus formula or just be another Sword/Shield.

This is the first time I'm tempted to go with the "first" version but I'll probably go Violet for tradition's sake. Either way definitely still going grass starter all the way, Grass Cat owns.

Definitely looks like they're using the Arceus engine but I do wonder if they'll still let us just huck balls at pokemon or if it's going back to the previous style

So until/unless any delays happen, we are leaving getting BoTW2 and Pokémon Gen 9 this year. Wow. What else is planned for the back half of this year? This is could be the best Switch year, maybe ever.

The secret to beaver bother is to "worry" them into the hole by moving in a way that causes the beavers to run serpentine toward the hole. Trying to get them to go in a straight line has a much higher failure rate, often resulting in them "catching" on the lip for no discernable reason. If you follow that tactic, and respect trans women, you'll get all the Golden bananas in no time.

Not to mention the first ever mainline 3D Kirby platformer next month. Yeah, seems like this is shaping up to be a pretty good year for Nintendo

For gamefreak that's basically exponential growth saying their assets could pass as current gen and not up-res'd PS2 ports

Looking at it, it looks like the latter, though I can't place the geography. Looks Mediterranean so maybe Italy, or something? They did France already right?

First time ALL the starters look pretty interesting in a long time for me. I like cats and grass cat feels novel, I love the Fire Croc (Totodile was my friend...), but I've always been a Water-starter sort of guy and the Duck doesn't look half bad.

The fact that the open world looks so similar and it's apparently far enough along that it'll release this year makes me feel like Arceus' lack of trainers, towns, any kind of interesting landmarks in its open world, is because it was just slapped together with the assets they were already making for this. Makes me kind of bitter I bought it but hey I got a good 50 hours or so before the shine wore off.

X and Y was set in pokéfrance.

I'm not a super architecture nerd, but someone has already screenshotted the edges of a map visible in the trailer, and the grass cat's english name is Sprigatido and the pepper dinosaur is Fuecoco.

It's gonna be set in Pokéspain.

E: they also just released a free update to Pokémon Legends that adds a couple new quests and some post-game content. We're probably not getting a big DLC, but they haven't quite abandoned that game yet!

Yeah it was definitely half of a game. A fun half of a game but hopefully they iterate on it.
Maybe it was a way to test the waters on the new systems before committing the new gen to them.

The battle system in Legends was trash outside of the speed of battles. I'd hope they don't implement it in one of the main titles. I would like them to make battles faster and take out a lot of the useless text like they did in Legends though.

Yeah and those people are idiots. Black/White was the best gen and only new Pokemon being available until the post-game was but one of the reasons it's the best.
