Eiba posted:There was some discussion at the end of the last thread about the lack of Battle Tower and the effects on the post game- but isn't there some sort of randomized school tournament thing? That sounds like it'd be as good or better than the really half assed Battle Towers we've been getting lately. Is it just not that good somehow? Sounds like it's similar to the champion cup rematches in gen VIII or the champion challenges in Gen VII but those are still a step or 2 below the competitive level endgame content that the Battle Tower (and previously the Battle Frontier as a whole) provides. So for people wanting content at that level, looks like there isn't a whole lot there for them.

Yeah but it also gets another new move that revives a fainted Pokemon so like can we really complain about this little guy?

The game could surprise me later but that one scene at homeroom is probably the worst the game's ever looked.

Honestly i'm liking the game a lot even with the performance issues and an open world. Its interesting to see a Pokemon game that's got a sense of ambition. Like, y'know compared to other Pokemon games.

CelestialScribe posted:I'm a casual pokemon fan. I liked Sword. Is this worth buying? Some pretty lovely tiktok vids around. Game is fun but performance can be quite bad pretty often. If you think that'll bother you then give it a miss, it's a pretty good Pokemon game and i'd say better than Sword personally but not a must buy or anything.

Eimi posted:After a full day to play the game I think I'm a lot more down on it than most people seem to be. The characters are good, def a big step up from SwSh. I don't really like the routes or general design, almost all that I've managed to explore have been relatively straightforward with no traversal challenges beyond "come back when you have x upgrade". Gym leaders don't even have other trainers, just some kind of stupid trial? I also don't like that apparently just buying them is the only way to get sandwich ingredients? That feels like a system I won't engage with much at all, I wish exploring got you them. I feel overleveled and that the only way to have anything close to a decent experience will be to look up the "intended" route to still have a game capable of pushing back on me. Other trainers not agroing you is a hell of a choice too, especially when there are already barely any and I've met only three who had more than one pokemon on their team. The battle mechanics feel great this gen, it's just they stripped away all the battles with anything but wild pokemon. Maybe its because i'm coming off Legends and its 10 Trainer battles over the whole game but I feel like there's a healthy amount of trainers each zone (though I do agree it sucks that they usually only have 1 or 2 mons). Like, you're not going to run into all of them by just following the path because they're placed all around each big zone but every time I get to a new Pokecenter I usually have a look around and I think there is a good amount of folks about to battle.

Every trainer since like Gen 2 (I don't think it was in Gen 1 at least) are programmed to go for super effectiver moves if they have them i'm pretty sure.

The stats screen will have little arrows showing what your nature is increasing/lowering. If there are no arrows then your mon has a neutral nature that doesn't increase or lower any stats.

The open world isn’t very engaging but that’s the case for most open worlds so I am not surprised. However, each area does have a good collection of new mons so far which is the most important thing for Pokémon routes. So this Poke World is still fairly cool imo.

Rageaholic posted:So I just beat the Elite 4 and the Champion. Am I crazy or didn't they used to be more challenging? I was mostly steamrolling all their Pokémon with my Skeledirge and Tatsugiri, but in older games, didn't they use potions and have items equipped and such? I didn't see any of that in this one The Elite 4 isn't the end of the game this time so they're not the final challenge this go around and not as big a threat.

Its probably just that they made the boxes accessible everywhere and then didn't feel like it was that important to put the time in to restricting it for E4

Nessa posted:16 hours? What the heck? When I was at that point I had nearly 40 hours clocked. I just got to the end credits at 76 hours. I beat Shield in 35. This is the longest Pokémon game I’ve ever played. There's a bunch of genuinely optional areas in this game and its great. A lot look samey but its very nice to have things to investigate in between your big checkpoints. Don't think there was any optional routes in SwSh and only a couple areas in SM so glad there's a lot here.
