5e is very bland especially when translated to a PC game which is sort of lame but I'm still enjoying it.

35 minutes long? After half a dozen updates to mobile games and trailers for the dlc and detective Pikachu 2, we might actually see a game get announced this time.

Seems a bit too early to go straight to Gen 10 but maybe we’ll get a Black/White remake or a Legends Arceus sequel

Imma say it and be An Old.

Open world Pokemon is bad.

Arceus, Scarlet, and Violet shoulda tried to be more like Sword and Shield.

In a world of Top Down Zelda vs Open World Zelda, Pokemon hosed up their move to Open World.

Scarlet and Violet are the best Pokemon games since the series went 3D. Shame about Acreus though

Same except I’m not sure if I don’t like the new ones very much because I changed, or because I was hoping for something else.

Yeah, I was never able to really get into Arceus that much (probably because I like the battling aspect of Pokemon more than the catching aspect) but l liked SV a lot (especially the characters)

It feels very un-d&d to me, very un-larian too. I’m actually quite weirded out by it

D:OS2 had several lengthy fully-narrated sex scenes before act 3, so it's less that larian suddenly became horny and more that tech and norms have changed enough so that customized genitals and a frank acknowledgement of sex and sexuality are more a novelty than they are some boundary-breaking inclusion

i think baldur's gate is a good signpost for how much the general culture surrounding D&D in general has changed in the intervening decades. "body type" and pronoun selection would've made people apoplectic back in 2000, but it's just the expected norm nowadays, to the point that even a game in a genre as far removed as SF6 does it

PoE2 is undeniably the superior CRPG combat system, even with its slapped together turn based mode, but larian's encounter design does a ton of heavy lifting to make it workable

Yeah gen 8 to 9 was three years, gen 10 is probably like 2025, and anyway they wouldn't push it with gen 9 dlc still coming.

I'm hoping for let's go gen 2, Legends: Keldeo, or even just gb and GBA games on nso.

I hope they put some actual money into a BW remake, I don't want another "faithful" (read: cheap and quick) remake like BDSP

Like, I like the idea of outsourcing the remakes to take the load off GF, but then like...you gotta let them actually remake it

I’d be curious to see how they’d handle the sequel in that regard (I’d say put the new areas/gyms in as DLC and/or postgame material but there’s a timeskip between games with Bianca becoming the new professor and Cheren becoming a gym leader)

Curious to see how they handle the dream world content. Uploading a mon to play flash games was a major way of getting hidden abilities and I think the only way to get berries. They're going to have to take liberties with the game to account for that (I hope).

And would absolutely buy a dlc of b2w2.

Edit: maybe you could find a few berries but the dream world is where you farmed them.

There’s also the issue of Cold Storage becoming PWT in the second game but I suppose they could just leave that area out

In any case, I hope they put more effort into the inevitable Gen 5 remake than they did with Diamond/Pearl

For someone who hasn't played any version Diamond/Pearl, is the remake as good as the original, aside from the graphics?

I’d say it’s better in some aspects (battle animations such as the HP bar decreasing/increasing were really slow in the DS original)

Uh oh, I think someone just told Hunter what game he's in.
Do people generally prefer Pokemon B&W to D&P and X&Y? Those latter two were the last gens I played and I didn't really like either.

Ramie

Maybe it would be more accurate to say it was the last one where the execution lived up to the ideas, but yeah

D&P were easily the worst of GenIV too, so maybe that's worth another look

also,

quote:

In addition to this, Masuda also went on to reveal as to why the games use 2D sprites. "One of the reasons for sticking with the 2D Pokemon images is, with the 2D, it really depends on who draws it,” he said. “There's a lot of personality that's drawn from the 2D images, whereas with 3D, it's the same model used for everything, so the personality doesn't really come out. One of the reasons we've stuck with 2D is to get a more individual feel with it."

Pokémon Black and Pokémon White are set to release in North America this coming Sunday, March 6.

oh yeah and there's some people who are passionate enough about the 3D games with actually good animations to port them forward into the new games
