I haven't looked at most of the new Pokémon designs yet.

Could someone give me a non-spoilery cryptic description of the pseudo this gen?

That one scene from an old kaiju film where godzilla makes himself flying tackle a monster by using his breath as a thruster.

Yes but poke balls from legends have been nerfed into the green Home style ball. At least for now anyway.

remember when they changed the park ball to the sport ball and then changed it to not have an S on it. franchise unsalvageable at that point

You can get one through Dex progress. That's it as far as we know.

There are so few version exclusives that you should 100% be choosing your version by which color pants you can deal with.

Version locking clothes is a terrible idea but at least it makes choosing a version easy considering orange pinstripe pants are literally the worst clothing imaginable.

Also which lizard you ride on. That's another important concern. Exclusives are just post game fluff this time around, besides the fire knight guys.

Sun and Moon version locked clothes too. Sun got warm colours and Moon got cool colours.

Festival Plaza was loving awful. HOWEVER, I would love to see that type-effectiveness quiz come back as a way to group multiplayer. When you hit y-comm, you answer one question, and you get raid-grouped with others who also got it right/wrong.

Anyone know an estimate on how long it takes to get one of the fossill pokemon? theyve been my faves since way back and sword shield was really cool letting me have almost a whole team of them, ive got a friend playing the opposite version so im just wondering if its a "you get one based on your version" or if you get more fossils that you rez through whatever way? any info is appreciated, random online searches arent giving me any solid info. thanks!

Fossil pokemon are widely available in SW/SH so if you can stomach those games you'll be pretty flush with em'.

I wonder how they're going to handle the Galar fossils in a future game. The circumstances on how you get them seems very specific, and I doubt there will be other people who would emulate Cara Liss's methods.

i assume part of it is to head off people going 'why aren't all the fossil pokemon just walking around everywhere available to catch in an area, gamefreak is so lazy'

especially since they're kinda, like, doing their own thing on that angle with this gen as it is

True, but it was a lot easier to ignore when you're looking at a pixelated sprite and not watching a seemingly rotoscoped ballerina do a twirl as it prances onto the battlefield. Very much one of those is what it is things, and what it is (to me) is weird.

Might be a dumb question but if I stroll in to a 24 hour Walmart on Friday morning, like 6 am, will I be able to buy the game?

Or will there possibly be some dumb BS about the game still being in the stockroom and I’ll walk out empty handed?

I’d have to pick it up super early to be able to get to work on time. Otherwise I’m stuck waiting for Amazon that might not drop it off until like 8 pm.

It might depend on the individual store and person you ask but my last personal experience with a simple attempt to see if I could buy something on the shelf at Walmart early (like, the night before the official release), the system beeped the clerk that the game wasn't able to be sold yet and that was that. WAS back in 2008, so things could be different.

We'd have to have the missing pieces from each of the four fossils to do that.

Which could be a neat concept for another generation, but I doubt we'll ever get to see it. I think it'll be an "original kyurem" situation, left to the imagination

There's neat fan art out there though

I want to see this, but instead of the actual fossils, give the other halves in each game. Give me a tiny little pair of raptor legs windmilling off of a big ol hunk of stegosaurus.

If you're near a gamestop (and still awake) you can get it at 11 pm tomorrow. That's what I'm doing. :D
