I guess the 3DS still got a new Pokemon after all

I don't think Nintendo stock prices are plummeting because of something only like a percentage of the Pokemon fanbase cares about

I feel like it's pretty obviously a case of Game Freak going "well we only have so much time and people let's look at what we have to cut" and deciding that the resources saved on not having to implement and balance 600 or whatever Pokemon was worth whatever flak they were going to get from a portion of the fanbase.

I don't understand why people keep seeing "resource limitation" and thinking "but they have so much money" like that's the only possible stumbling block to doing whatever you want in game dev

ArmyOfMidgets posted:They have the money to increase their studio's size and let Pokemon, the multimedia juggernaut born from a videogame, take a longer development cycle. "Increase the studio's size" is also not a magic bullet to game dev problems. First, you have to actually have enough qualified people to hire when you're trying to staff up, and then you need to make sure you either have or can hire competent managers for those teams because nothing will kill a development process faster than poor communication and huge spread-out groups of people who have no idea what anyone else is doing. Then you're stuck with the third resource beyond money and people - time. Games choke to death on these problems all the time - there's an article on Kotaku about Star Wars 1313 slowly dying for five years because of a situation exactly like that.

ArmyOfMidgets posted:That is a fair point, it would not magically fix things and indeed it would be a move that would take a lot of time and resources. I don't disagree with this position, but I can also see where Game Freak is coming from on this with the idea that a Pokemon game should be about catching new Pokemon first and foremost, which I have to imagine is the line of thinking that lead to this. I guess the main thing is we really don't know exactly why Sword and Shield's development came to the point where this decision had to be made, but I doubt the decision was made lightly.

tbf I don't think anyone has said "lazy" because it's 2019 and hopefully we're all cognizant of the constant grinding overworking shithell game developers live in it's mainly just been "dumb" which is much more fair even if I don't agree

Waffleman_ posted:I feel like I'm the only person not losing their absolute poo poo about this. I mean, it's not ideal and I understand why people aren't pleased, but am I just the only one who doesn't transfer Pokemon? I like making new friends No, me neither, but I initially came into this conversation with a "Well this doesn't effect me so who cares" mentality and have been trying to dial that back. I think there are a lot of people who won't mind this or even care that it's a thing but it's the most hardcore who are going to notice and they're the people most likely to talk about it to begin with.

Farecoal posted:Finished X, including the Looker side quest in the post-game, which turned out to be my favorite part. Overall not bad, but Black 2 is still my favorite of the games so far. Black/White 2 were also probably my favorite Pokemon until Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon I just love Alola so much it's such a good region

It's funny how after years of people demanding an "adult" Pokemon game we have one that deals with climate change, a looming energy crisis, and how small towns are dying out once their usefulness has dried up but because there's no blood or cuss words those people aren't going to give a poo poo

Charizard is several orders of magnitudes more popular than any other starter Pokemon except possibly Greninja. The idea that it's some exclusively some weird favoritism on Game Freak's fault baffles me. Popular things will continue to get pushed. That's how it works.

Flopsy posted:Chocolate is loving delicious. It doesn't mean I want it in every single meal at all times, I don't care how they prepare it. Which is fair, but you're vastly outnumbered by the amount of people who very much want to slather everything they eat in chocolate. This analogy may be falling apart at the seems.

lezard_valeth posted:Charizard's popularity is also in part to it's overexposure. In the anime he was the Pokemon with the most episodes centered around him, and had the most character development, even more so than Pikachu. He had the bad boy personality that anime fans tend to gravitate to, and personality is really important as proven by Incineroar who was universally hated upon it's design being leaked but won back the crowd once his dex entry was revealed and people saw him in action in the anime and Smash. Charizard had a big fight in Mewtwo Strikes back and a big role in the Entei movie. And unless I'm misremembering he was the last of Ash's original team to be "released". I think you have it backwards. Charizard was all over the anime because he was already popular before then. The games and card game had already been out for a significant chunk of time in Japan (about a year for the games and six months for the TCG) before the anime ever started, and it was popular from the jump because it's a loving dragon with a fire tail. It was never not going to be popular.

Geostomp posted:It’s a something of a chicken-egg scenario: something gets exposed because it has some popularity originally and gets more popular because it gets exposure. The result is a feedback loop where something that starts popular just keeps getting shoved to the forefront forever. Never forget how the initial mascot push was going to be Clefairy and that never got off the ground.

It's going to be hilarious when the games still sell fine and the youtube outrage factory is going to switch their narrative to whatever the video game equivalent of "Disney bought out theaters for Captain Marvel to artificially inflates the sales" is.

Most video game AI is The Way It Is because making super reactive "smart" AI is super expensive and time consuming compared to what you get out of it, which is a very small portion of the playerbase pleased.

Flopsy posted:Is this loving thing going to be a subscription service on top of the 20 bucks you pay for nintendo online services? Because if so holy gently caress. Also who here is motivated to try and catch gigantomax pokemon knowing full loving well they're going to drop the idea next Gen making them fundamentally no different from any other pokemon. Me because I'd like to use the gigantomax pokemon in the game where you can make giant pokemon happen I don't care if it gets dropped or not.
