King Ellis Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 Just watching the video, Pokemon Smile is clearly GotY. New Pokemon Snap seems like kind of a dumb name. Amidst all the footage of Pokemon riding on the backs of other Pokemon, there's footage of a Pigeot snatching a Magikarp out of the water. I can't help but imagine that's slightly more sinister, that Magikarp is totally getting eaten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2K Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 Pokémon Smile wouldn't look out of place as a Google April Fool's gag. And Pokémon Snap 2 New Pokémon Snap will hopefully be fantastic. A few months ago I dug my old copy out to play just because it's so unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katsuya Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 New Snap literally made me jump off my sofa. I don't think I've been so excited at a game reveal since Smash Bros Ultimate. Isle of Armor is out too! Spoilers, obvs: Spoiler Fuck Sharpedo. Any time I head in to the sea it's a dash to try and outrun them. The Diglett task is cool though. Currently slowly going through the story bit and just grabbing Pokémon as I go, otherwise. Super excited I can get a Starmie too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apsham Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 Let's Go versions of Johto are the front-runners here - due to the all the Gen 2 Pokémon on the shelf of the last video. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobfoc Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 That's what I want it to be. I was very taken by the first one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roster Depth Sicko No. 2 Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 Let's Go Johto announcement with a teaser for Gen 4 remakes is my guess. Full reveal for those post-Crown Tundra release. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kraig Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 I love these games, but I've kind of gone off them. I'm one of those weirdos who transferred his beasties all the way through from every generation and usually only use pokémon new to the series for new games with a living pokédex and all variations of each pokémon (except that damn pokéball Vivillon). Pretty sure I pre-ordered Isle of Armour, and haven't even turned my Switch on to check. I'm aware there's new pokémon and new variations (Slowpoke), but...I just don't care? Anyone else in the same boat? I have been begging for a new Pokémon Snap game since probably 2001, but it feels a bit redundant now when you can just run around Pokémon Sword/Shield and take photos all the time. Tried watching the new anime over on Pokéflix...just find it boring, repetitive. Highly recommend the XY anime, my friend got me watching it and it feels like an actual TV show with genuinely likeable characters that just happens to be a pokémon anime as well. And for the first time in maybe four years, Pokémon Go hasn't been opened for several days. I reached Level 40 about two months ago and raid battles don't really interest me, so why am I still playing at all? My Giovanni battled glitched out five times and froze the battle screen. That's literally the only challenge I have left and I can't be bothered finding him again just for the game to crash. But I have that annoying part of me that's built up over the past four years saying "you need to complete that". I've thought about breeding and training for competitive battling, but that's a lot of hours I really don't have. I suppose I should give the DLC a shot and see how I feel.

TCO Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 I think my interest started to die with the Mega Evolutions and then the start of Sun and Moon along with the removal of gyms killed it dead for me. I have no interest playing Sword and Shield and the Let's Go remakes are just simplifed retreads IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no interest playing Sword and Shield and the Let's Go remakes are just simplifed retreads IMO. The Alola islands and pokémon designs were tremendous, as was the music. I found the gyms were still there, just with different names (kahunas instead of leaders). It really wasn't that big of a change. The Rotomdex was also an excellent idea. Highly recommend Sword/Shield simply for the experience of running around an open-world. The graphics are genuinely amazing at times, but again, the game is a very SMALL sandbox and didn't live up to the hype. Let's Go was a chore. Graphics were lovely, but it was a very simple game meant for the youngest fans. Would have really appreciated a difficulty option, they could have thrown in a veteran's mode and I'd have guzzled it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roster Depth Sicko No. 2 Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 I never played Let's Go, it didn't seem like my thing. With time to reflect, I think Sword and Shield were a good initial step up to the Switch, but they definitely didn't make as big a jump as people were probably expecting. I've got big hopes for Gen 9 based in how they've started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobfoc Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 What I liked about Let's Go was that it cut out wild battles, which I found tedious. There's still a bit of grinding with catching Pokémon, but nowhere near as much. It also let you see all the wild Pokémon, so the series-old annoyance of random encounters was gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobfoc Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 It's Pokémon Unite, a 5-vs-5 multiplayer game. It looks quite interesting, but "free-to-start" is a term that has the alarm bells ringing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roster Depth Sicko No. 2 Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 This looks like a Pokemon version of Dota/LoL, which would be interesting. I'm happier it's on Switch as well as mobile, and I imagine I'll give it a go. But yeah if it's Pay to Win then it's gonna suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kraig Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 So, PokéMOBA. To be fair, is it basically the only genre they haven't done, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roster Depth Sicko No. 2 Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 I think so, yeah. In Sword/Shield news, the Zeraora event has passed a million, so everyone gets a free Shiny Zeraora on June 30th. Just move something from Home to Sword and Shield whilst the event is active. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
