Can’t wait for folks to steamroll the Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra with the team of Level 100 Uber’s they built in 2019 and then whine that the game is for babies

speaking as someone who overall liked SwSh, shortcomings and all: i guess in theory the concept of doing DLC expansions instead of separate enhanced versions is a better way of going about adding new content to old games, especially considering that it already looks like quite a bit more new content than we ended up with in USUM, but mark me down as skeptical that GF will accurately balance this content for players who are already at endgame

assuming of course that it will actually be balanced for the endgame and not, say, players still in the middle of the base campaign who want to jump right into the new content, because if not, then, uh. oof

you could always bench your main team and put together a new one using Pokémon local to the expansion areas I guess :shrug:
I definitely prefer DLC over buying a second version but the balance wrt the leveling curve is probably gonna be weird

The fake leaks saying the dex goes up to 600+ after beating the game were right. They just forgot about needing to slip 30 bux.

the Pokémon will be added to the game data in an update which means you can get them through trading without buying the dlc

my favorite part of Kirby lore is the legendary warrior who keeps on getting tossed throughout time, immediately getting his rear end kicked by Kirby/Meta Knight, and then getting tossed into another time period to immediately get his rear end kicked again, like Sweet Bro endlessly falling down stairs. his story has unfolded throughout the games in reverse order, starting with his death

I think the issue with the legendaries being guaranteed but only one-time prizes is that within a week or two all of the half-decent players will have gotten their one legendary and then it will be dead content and you'll be stuck getting matched with Little Timmy borrowing his big brother's Switch, a shiny farmer that will disconnect as soon as the battle starts, and an AI that does nothing but spam protect

gen 3 was also before attacks were given their own physical or special properties. whether an attack was physical or special was still based entirely on the move's type, so you still had cases where a pokemon like Kingler or Flareon would be hosed because they're built for physical attacks but all Water- or Fire-type attacks were based on Special Attack. Fire Punch, Ice Punch, Thunder Punch, all special attacks, gently caress you if you teach them to your Fighting Pokemon

vs.



every single thing that is not the resolution looks better to me in sun/moon. it's actually, you know, imaginative and has character.

even if you don't buy that argument, do you really think it looks anywhere near as good as their last port/remake? how can that be anything other than a tremendous step backwards from this:



the main difference I see between these 3 images besides resolution is that one of them deliberately has less realistic character proportions and one of them takes place in Hawaii, otherwise I have no idea what the gently caress you're talking about

This was a literal launch title for the DS. Saying that the DS couldn't run at the least the overworld we were shown is facetious. Despite the fact few developers took advantage of it, the DS was actually capable of some gnarly 3D stuff. Hell ORAS is more advanced looking than this.

sir, that's an N64 game

chairman rose is a spectacularly bad villain and the pacing of sword and shield's finale is really awkward thanks to having the tournament be interrupted twice, with the first interruption turning out to be over something completely frivolous.

Ibram Gaunt posted:

Has anyone been playing Pokemon Xenoverse? I just beat the first gym and I'm pretty shocked at how good it is already for a fangame. Good production values too.

I remember seeing the font of the title and thinking "wow that looks awful" but that's all.
Watching gameplay now and what immediately catches my attention is that the battles are Gen V-style, in that they use animated sprites and move along at an actually reasonable pace. So that's already scoring big points in my book.

should've just called them "Pokemon Supernova and Penumbra", "Pokemon Supernova Sun and Penumbra Moon" is way too wordy, try saying that out loud, it's exhausting.
