Tyranogre Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 RIP any and all hope I may have ever had for Sword and Shield being good. I put up with XY leaving a blatant hook for Z that never got resolved. I put up with the absolute clusterfuck that was Bank's initial launch. I put up with ORAS removing all the features from Emerald. I put up with SuMo being rushed out the door to coincide with the 20th anniversary. I put up with Ultra SuMo being a 40-dollar game that could've been a DLC expansion. But removing Pokemon not in the regional dex from the entire game, even with Bank/Home support, is where I draw the line. Link to comment

Say it with me everyone: “GameFreak is a terrible developer” i really wish Nintendo let another company make a mainline game. Link to comment
Edie Napier Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 "gamefreak is a terrible developer because outside of otherwise immaculate games they remove qol changes that a lot of people won't notice or give a shit about" fucking christ that's reactionary as hell also i forgot this place existed, hello dead people Link to comment

ace Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I’ve been calling GameFreak terrible for a long time now so calling me reactionary isn’t fair. X/Y ran like absolute dogshit. Link to comment
Tyranogre Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 If we can't bring over non-Galar Pokemon through Home, than what's the fucking point of Home? Assuming transferring from Bank to Home is a one-way trip like every other cross-gen mechanic, then certain Pokemon will be trapped inside a box where they can never be used again. The simple fact of the matter is that out of almost 1000 total Pokemon species, GameFreak is going to arbitrarily decide which ones they want you to be able to bring over. Whichever ones they decide they don't want you to bring over are effectively being erased from existence. Alola may have made the extremely stupid decision to get rid of the National Pokedex, but at least those 500 some-odd Pokemon still existed, and were still given new tricks to play with. Galar doesn't even have that courtesy. Instead of "Gotta catch 'em all", it's "Gotta catch what we feel like animating". Link to comment

Hell, I got hung up on ORAS because they removed something as arbitrary as trainer customization. I'm just saying going hyperbolic and just writing off the game as not being good is reactionary as Hell. Being a digital hoarder and expecting them to keep supporting your ability to move your pokemon from your GBA game is frankly a bit entitled, sure. And with 1000 of the fuckers in the game, I don't think it's unreasonable if GF wants to actually be able to hit the reset button on what they want to move from generation to generation, because hey modeling and animating over 1000 pokemon is in fact actually a lot of fucking work. I'm not saying your complaints aren't valid, I'm saying the reaction is hyperbolic as Hell. Link to comment
Tyranogre Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 The best-case scenario I can think of is that Dildo Diamond and Penis Pearl will come with some sort of fuckery that adds the National Dex to SwSh upon linking up with them. That's how FRLG added Kanto Pokemon to RS. April 1 Link to comment

Youngster Joey Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 The worst part of the Pokemon news is that it doesn't make any sense. Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon released 2 years ago and featured over 800 Pokemon. All the models and animations are there. Hopefully the fan reaction lights a fire under GF's ass or they decide to delay the game and give us a quality product. Super excited about Dragon Quest in Smash, and I'm happy to see the Mana series coming to Switch. Breath of the Wild 2 is giving me the right feels I was hoping for a Majora's Mask-esque sequel. AC being delayed to spring next year is fine. My hope is there's atleast twice as much land to work with in this game than in New Leaf. April 1 Link to comment
Stephen 776 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I haven't watched the treehouse segment of animal crossing, but everything I've read is great. The game also sports local coop; Davy and I are probably going to poor a lot of hours into AC on that feature alone. rip real life, i need a fantasy life where I can pay off my loans :V Link to comment
Tyranogre Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Oompa, Loompa, doopity-do GameFreak are hacks, now the series is through Oompa, Loompa, doopity-don Why can't we transfer our Pokemon? Nine-hundred mons, that sure is quite a bunch To program them all would require a crunch Or maybe not, it should never cause shame To take extra time and delay the game (if only for a month or two) Oompa, Loompa, doopity-da If you're not lazy, you will go far You will live in happiness, too Like the Oompa Loompa doopity-do!
