Haven’t played a new Pokémon since Sun and Moon put a bad taste in my mouth. Looking forward to smoke pouring out of my Switch as it struggles to hit 20 FPS when I throw a Pokeball.

Game is good. I can see the jank, but I feel it’s either a) slightly overblown or b) I don’t have high standards. Playing on an OG Switch handheld.

Definitely needed a bit more time in the oven, though. Maybe a decent patch will smooth things out. The actual content is fun as gently caress though, as someone who took a break after being disappointed by Sun and Moon.

Game is good though on first impression. I like the pokemon that's literaly just a flamingo with no alterations.

Tandemaus and Maushold take the cake for me in “this is kinda lazy but I love it”.

anyone else thinking this is the best pokemon game ever

Yeah I haven’t had this much effortless fun since Gen II. It isn’t perfect and the jank is very real, but the pure enjoyment factor outweighs those for me.

Also found a rock that, when you stand on it, locks you in place and the game just gently resets you next to it. Lmao

goddamn this game loving whips rear end. bunch of good fights, bunch of good pokemon, and good writing. now if only they could patch the memory leaking and framerate issues (lmao at the credits getting framey) this game would be amazing

Lol this game is one of the worst reviewed in the series, and it actually might be my second favorite after Gen II. It rules.

Slightly disappointed when you make an awful sandwich you don’t just poo poo yourself and die and respawn at the nearest Pokémon center.

Upon thinking about it Pokemon should replace Ash with Larry. I think it would be more accurate to the modern day Pokemon experience.

Also they should just casually reveal Ash is actually 36 years old with no further explanation

FireHeart/GreenSoul, if you will.

Just connect all the regions together and release an absolute tome of a game. You’ve collected 59 badges and switched identities at least six times. You have nine moms who keep giving you Pokédex after Pokédex. You are so so tired.

I just learned what “rizz” means (short for charisma!), which signifies that word has probably long cycled out of youth vocabulary.

Same. The first 350 we’re fine for memorization, but now my 34 year old mush brain just sees a floating screwdriver named Squiboplebop or something and goes “yeah sure that seems right” and then I immediately forget it exists.

I'm about to go beat up Nemona and then whatever all that is up there. Just wanted to say thanks for using spoiler tags

Also, all the recent talk in this thread just reminded me how little I actually know about pokemon. Been playing since Pokémon blue and I've played (but not always finished) most of them and I still have never done breeding and I have no idea what half the stuff youre all talking about even is. Just crazy how much depth these 'kids' games have

I’m with you here. I vastly appreciate how much depth has been added to the games over the years, but damned if I don’t think much more beyond “fire makes grass go woosh!” and “make level big number”.

Basically I play Pokémon as if I were still a fifth grader.

If anyone has accents in Masters, Nemona’s should be Spanish for sure. Penny’s should be British, or maybe Irish. Do any of the Kalos trainers have French accents? It would be cool if they did.

I like when games utilize a wide variety of accents because it makes it feel like a more fleshed out world. I’ve also loved that Xenoblade uses British accents as their default. I think British gamers would find it a nice change of pace as well.

I’m playing Xenoblade 2 right now and I am loving the Welsh and Scottish overload.
