apsham Posted June 5, 2019 Report Share Posted June 5, 2019 Yeah, I'm pretty excited for it. Going to order the double pack the second it goes live and hoping that the rumors of the Switch-lite are true so I can pick up another one so the girlfriend and I can play together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roster Depth Sicko No. 2 Posted June 5, 2019 Report Share Posted June 5, 2019 I was already quite excited - I think I played Ultra Sun all of once and just couldn't be arsed with Alola's bullshit so the change up looked good - but I think I'm definitely going to have to get it now. I've been debating a Switch for a while so I think I'm sold on getting one plus this for Christmas in an inevitable bundle deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benji Posted June 12, 2019 Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 So there's a massive shitshow going on because supposedly it's been said that no Pokémon game in future will allow all the Pokémon to be caught/used in a single game, which uh... kind of goes against the "Gotta Catch 'Em All" mantra.

apsham Posted June 12, 2019 Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 I only heard that this time around - they aren't allowing you to transfer in anything that isn't in the local dex. They said something along the lines of balancing over 800 Pokemon is hard to do... I was kind of expecting them to slowly push more Pokemon in post launch. I don't know if the future games thing is from anything or people just speculating? EDIT: Ah, here it is. Quote In an interview with USgamer, Junichi Masuda has reiterated that the volume of higher quality animations required due to the Nintendo Switch for such a large amount of Pokémon was a big part in their decision to cut connectivity with Pokémon not in the Galar Pokédex. With that, it also brought the balance of the competitive scene into the fold in order to make the best decisions and keep the competitive nature of the game which results in them going back to reevaluate the best selection. The quote from the interview is as follows There are a couple of different parts to the thinking behind it, but really the biggest reason for it is just the sheer number of Pokemon. We already have well over 800 Pokemon species, and there's going to be more added in these games. And now that they're on the Nintendo Switch, we're creating it with much higher fidelity with higher quality animations. But even more than that, it's coming down to the battle system. We're making sure we can keep everything balanced and give all the Pokemon that appear in the games a chance to shine. We knew at some point we weren't going to be able to indefinitely keep supporting all of the Pokemon, and we just found that Sword and Shield would probably be a good point to go back and reevaluate what would be the best selection of Pokemon that appeal to the widest audience while keeping into consideration the balance of the battle system. It isn't just going to be all-new Pokemon in the Galar region Pokedex; there's still going to be a lot of favorites that fans will be able to bring over that they've adventured with previously. But yeah, it was pretty much just balancing and getting this optimal selection of Pokemon for the adventure we wanted to provide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naitch Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 My girlfriend runs a pretty decent Pokemon community on Discord if anyone is interested in joining. They do stuff like shiny hunts and battles, as well as talking about POGO events, news, and other stuff like that. She's definitely managed to get me back into the games with it all, including actually playing ones that aren't over 15 years old at this point .
