Detective No. 27 posted:They haven't revealed much about the logistics of the legendary yet. It appears to be your HM Bitch. But does it take up a party slot? It's the optics of it for me that feel off; Pokemon's always been about "You and the poke-friends you made along the way" and the sheer permutations that can take to make and train your party. Going off the trailer, being about "You and The Legendary that's super-cool and awesome traveling everywhere (plus other pokemon for fighting)" just feels a little too... immutable for a main-line Pokemon game to me. But yeah, definitely gotta see how it shakes out in future previews to get a better idea of what it'll actually be like.

The 8 but demake of Megaman Power Battle & Power Fighters that released on the Neo Geo Pocket Color back in 2000 has apparently been ported to the Switch Eshop (completely untranslated for whatever reason): https://youtube.com/watch?v=WNsHR9xPAqA

ScarVi looks cool to me. The big gimmick here being a surprise type change sounds like a cool one, and I'm intrigued there's two other stories beyond the standard gym battle one. Kinda curious to see how the open world is handled, and really how well the game will run between that and previous games' technical issues. Looking forward to it!

They should just make a hard mode, honestly. Every release we get the grown men complaining about how the kids game is a kids game. Give them something to really cry about.

They should force them to play Dark Rising or Reborn with no external help. Have fun, "hardcores"! I'm kidding, forcing someone to play Pokemon Reborn is a war crime.

When a Pokemon goes crystal a giant thing appears above their head that shows what type they are. You'll have to be ready for any of the Pokemon on the team to potentially have some unique Tera-type, but once it Teraforms you'll know what that type is. Really interested to see how this shakes up competitive.

But if it works at all like Dynamax, you’ll only see that after you’ve both already selected your attacks, right? So it’s be like, you use earthquake, pikachu turns flying type, pikachu dodges the earthquake, pikachu gets a free turn. Augus fucked around with this message at 21:00 on Aug 3, 2022 |

Yeah, but you can also do the same thing, and it still relies a lot on nailing your prediction, which is already a huge part of competitive Pokemon. In concept, this actually seems like the best gimmick they've come up with since they've started the whole Megas/Z-Moves/Dynamax thing. You can get a second/third STAB, and you may have to make a decision on whether you want to go with a defensive type like Steel or Dragon or whether you might want to go with a more offensive type like Ice to buff your Ice Beam attack. Of course, we'll have to wait to see how this pans out in practice. Still, I'm definitely intrigued.

American McGay posted:Idk I don’t play Pokémon but being able to change your pokemon’s type mid battle and also have that type be hidden until you change seems like a pretty big strategic shakeup. If it works that way it’s a very big change to the online battles especially. So much of making a good team is about type coverage both offensively and defensively and you can do some crazy stuff with this. In the trailer alone - pikachu turns into a flying type. Pikachu is only weak to ground and nothing else. Flying is immune to ground. So you go from killing it in a hit to doing 0 damage which changed the entire fight - but really depends on how this works, how “fast” it is etc

The gimmick of sword shield was “give one Pokémon more HP” which is not incredibly exciting. It looks flashy and some Pokémon got special moves but for the most part they weren’t very good

Oh god lol I wonder if it will tell you what the mon can change into? That way at least there’s a bit of the guessing game of do I ice punch or expect the type switch and try to target that. I initially thought in the trailer every mon would have a fixed type it can switch to until they showed the eevee

It had some interesting applications in VGC but it was a disaster for singles since it was free setup turns where you also kicked your opponent's teeth in with a ghetto Z-Move and had double HP so it was difficult to just DPS through. E: The final straw was giving Choice item Pokemons ways to break their choice for coverage or to set up since going big also turned off Choice Items for the duration for some reason.

Skipping all the pokémon chat to second this. Though I will add that since gen 4 there has been a consistent pattern of the first game released on a new platform being a weaker entry, while the second gen on the platform is not. Gens 5 and 7 were hell of a lot better than the games surrounding them, and gen 9 kicking rear end fits that pattern.

The new crystal Pokemon gimmick looks ugly as poo poo. What a horrible aesthetic. I’ve been horribly bored with the series since X&Y. Nice even finished Sun of Sword. I’m glad nothing from these trailers excites me.
