    Yeah early on I said I wasn't gonna get it but as we're almost here, it really feels like I'm just gonna get it anyway

    so much for them! Prestigious

    i dont think the thought of skipping a main series game has ever crossed my mind lol.

    pokemon is easily my favorite fictional world so just seeing the new pokemon, making my team, and exploring the new region is enough to warrant me buying the game. i also like the strides they seem to be making to make the games bigger and better, even if gf still makes confounding decisions sometimes. i love arceus and this seems to be building off of that so im very very excited.

    Yeah. I can’t wait to mess around with the new mons competitively. Sw/Sh has gotten pretty stale.

    thats why i left the draft league, after a while the meta gets stale. i did like that they didnt add all mons from launch though, made it last more and also made understanding the format a lot more manageable.

    Yeah. I wish they had some other things change things up, like add the Hisuian mons or add batches of mons slowly.

    Tons of exciting new/returning features revealed due to the first play through videos being released. I’ll still spoiler cap for those who want to be blind.


    • ⁠Overworld shinies are back
    • ⁠Can start a battle by throwing a pokeball. Throwing a pokeball from behind a pokemon will trigger a "back strike" that causes the pokemon to flinch on turn 1.
    • ⁠NPC Trainers no longer initiate battles. You must engage with them first. These trainers will have an icon above their head to identify them.
    • ⁠EXP gained via Let's Go is reduced from normal battling
    • ⁠When battling in the wild, wild pokemon will occasionally spectate and react to your fights
    • ⁠Trainer and pokemon will react to outside weather. Ex.: Trainer was upset when getting soaked from rain while Farigiraf ran happily around in circles.
    • ⁠Mela's ace was "tough" (players were given an overleveled team for reference)
    • ⁠Trainer customization is available very early
    • ⁠Can change pokemon names in a menu at will
    • ⁠Overworld is more populated than has been shown in trailers
    • ⁠Titans have three stages to them. After you defeat them they flee and you must pursue them. The third stage is unique in someway, but players were not allowed to engage with this portion during this preview.
    • ⁠Battles can be engaged while mounted
    • ⁠You can buy pre-made dishes from vendors or make them yourself at a picnic
    • ⁠Experience candy is back and is among the various items you find in the overworld
    • ⁠There is an option to auto-heal pokemon after battle using potions in your inventory
    • ⁠If your pokemon levels up multiple times only a single level up animation plays (instead of multiple level up animations in previous titles)
    • ⁠In addition to the TM machine, TMs can be found in the overworld and be given by gym leaders
    • ⁠In order to catch terrastalized wild pokemon you need to break its "crystal shield". Unable to attempt a catch prior to doing this. If you run away from a battle like this, the pokemon will remain in the overworld.
    • ⁠Buildings you can enter/vendors are marked with a placemat in front of the door
    • ⁠You can relearn/forget moves from a menu like in PLA
    • ⁠The PC is accessible at any time like the Pokemon Box in Let's Go
    • ⁠Picnics may reward pokemon EXP and Friendship points

    Sounds like performance is really rough in this game.

    It’s been confirmed to be an older build. The guy from Serebi (forgot his name) stated that Nintendo stressed it.

    got my switch lite, playing brilliant diamond right now but also need to play sword. havent finished a pokemon game since ruby and fire red came out, but ive been putting in a ton of hours on pokemon go so im getting more familiar with the later generations. need to get legends arceus at some point too or borrow my brothers' copy when hes done with it

    Legends is amazing. Top 5 Pokémon game for sure.

    I would recommend just skipping Sword and getting Scarlet or Violet next month. Everything so far indicates they improve and expand on what Sword and Shield did.

    True. You can clear the elite four in Sword in less than 15 hours. The DLC is some of the best for those games, however. Might want to look into those and see if they’re something you’d want to play through.

    Sword and shield was great, I might give it a replay soon.

    I want another re-release of heart gold. That game was great but my DS's battery is trash now. I'm sure I could pick up another battery, though.

    We have to be getting a Johto remake after Scarlet/Violet. It's been 13 years since we last stepped foot there. Insane.

    My guess of the future is

    2022 - Scarlet/Violet
    2023 - Scarlet/Violet DLC
    2024 - Johto
    2025 - Gen 10
    2026/27 - Gen 5 remake

    I replayed HG two years ago. Still some of the best gameplay, but it's heavily pixilated like all Pokémon games on DS so it can be a bit of an eyesore these days.

    The question is will gamefreak be making it, or will they give it to ILCA again or another developer? I think BDSP showed GF may not want do remakes anymore if they are going to more Legends style games

    In a perfect world we would get a traditional Johto remake with Let's Go graphics + Legends Celebi.

    In this world we'll probably get ILCA making the remakes and coin toss for Legends. As much as I like Legends, I really want to see modern Johto with improved graphics as it's the most beautiful region, imo.
