Benji Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 I still want to see some starters that wind up Fire/Water, Water/Grass, Grass/Fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roster Depth Sicko No. 2 Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 Gonna assume no-one's ever heard of a burrowing owl which at least makes a bit more sense of the typing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benji Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Designer 1: "Finally, a potentially viable grass/flying type. Now what should we do with its evolutions?" Designer 2: "Remember that time we had a grass/ground starter? I liked Torterra " Brilliant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunnar hendershow Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 Yeah I pretty much assumed that already, but better to keep it in spoiler tags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatblindgeye Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 Has anyone else gotten an email in regards to the legendary birds thing they were doing through the newsletter? I could have sworn I was signed up for it but I haven't gotten anything so I may not have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatblindgeye Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 Damn, then I guess i wasn't signed up for it I only needed a Moltres, too, so I hope they do another event at some point for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Ellis Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 I have a spare Darkrai code (UK if it matters) if anyone is in need of one. Not sure if those are in short supply though given it was at Game this time and not Smyths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benji Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 This probably explains why they didn't do Pokémon Z and I'd guess seems reason for them never to do another third game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2K Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 It does kinda make sense given that the third game was essentially the same as the first two but with very minor changes, it always seemed like a complete luxury purchase for me if I already had one of the first two. Two things I got from the graph though; firstly I'm surprised at how low the Black 2/White 2 sales were, I always thought a direct sequel would be a money-spinner. Secondly.... holy crap the first generation sold of a lot of copies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benji Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 People do forget that Pokémon was basically the killer app of the Gameboy. A lot of people bought it purely for that, and a lot of people even now (myself included) buy Nintendo handhelds almost exclusively for those games. I'm more impressed by how the series has basically plateaud for four generations. Not many series can claim that kind of reliability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katsuya Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 B2/W2 really were underwhelming though, so I wonder if the reviews warded people off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benji Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Doubt it was a major factor. Most people knew that it was basically doing the same as the usual third games, just split into two. People want new regions and Pokémon, the selling point is something new, not a slightly changed visit to a place you've been. Also, BW2 were decent, but the story of BW1 was probably the best in the series for me. Really made me question the morality of stuff I took for granted in the Pokémon world.

tenaciousg Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 B2W2, as Pokemon games, were kinda dull and samey, but what I loved about them was the weird stuff they included. That city you could control, the movies you could star in, the World Tournament with all the gym leaders/notable trainers, I would love it if SuMo included any of those.

Oh yeah, the add-ons were great, but after just how good B/W1 were, it just felt a bit like same-y. B/W's post game is also the best since GSC which helps a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
