Pokemon | Scarlet & Violet (2022) + Legends Arceus is king

[Phantom]

No National Dex isn't a deal breaker for me. I could enjoy a Pokemon game with a culled roster, despite the fact that TPC and Game Freak should have no issue putting everything in. The issue is that there is nothing about this game that looks new, good, or like a large step forward. It looks like a bad video game. Not a bad Pokemon game-- A low quality game experience altogether.

100% agree with you. I could've lived without National Dex to be honest, but there's nothing in these games that makes me excited. SwSh will most likely be the first main series Pokemon games (not counting LGPE) I'll be skipping completely since getting into Pokemon.

GameFreak has the opportunity to make-up with either the third version or sequel to Sword/Shield, or the DP remakes.

So is GameFreak's new operating philosophy of not over focusing on Pokemon.

Watch as they announce Let's Go Marill & Let's Go Togepi.

With how busy their team is, I doubt they can develop two Pokemon games at the same time now. Though the Let's Go enigne is already there, so it's possible to make those two games faster.

Turns out the rival has the same movement animation that Hau has when he talks.

Anyone else hear that people were complaining about the water looking like oil?

BP did that.

I think the best part about this new trailer is the return of Regional variants and Linoone getting a new Evolution.

 

[Zettaflare]

Well that covers Fairy/Poison and Electric/Dark. Still want a Bug/Dragon Pokemon.

Also Team Yell gives me KISS vibes

Well, this is unexpected, a gen 3 mon getting an evolution in a later generation and it's a regional variant at that. Wonder what that means for regular Linoones? also looks like we've got the Pikachu clone and the evil team, both of which I find disgusting.

 

[Recon]

A hamster pikachu look-alike with hangry mode?! They know me so well.

Also Weezing’s new look is great. Top hats that resembles smoke stacks is brilliant.

Also Team Yell gives me KISS vibes

Haha same. Totally metal vibes. I expect one of them to have a full Steel type party.

And Zigzagoon's Galarian line doesn't help, either.

They made Weezing look like Doug Dimmadome, owner of the Dimmsdale Dimmadome.

JAHJAHJAHJAJAHJH Wow thanks for the flashbacks! xDDD

Also, OF ALL THE 'MONS THAT NEEDED EVOLUTIONS, THEY SELECTED LINOONE?!?!?!

To be fair, Linoone's new evolution would make sense in the galar region, as one of it's design elements is a honey badger, a common forest denizen within Europe's forests. Back In the day (notably during gen 4) gamefreak put in pokemon that would fit the areas of the region and would make sense from a logical standpoint. Whether or not they do this to newer pokemon is anyone's guess.

Genne Simmons seemed pleased with his Pokemon look a like

 

[Face My Fears]

OK so they just ruined my favourite Pokemon. I'm definitely going to stick to the older games.

Have you tried using an Everstone or not catching them?
