Maybe in every regard that doesn't involve having fun.
too bad nothing about the avenue was fun

all the plaza did is prove the s***post bait blizzard gave when asked about classic wow servers right

Ok. So I'm an elitist and I'm not a vetran player. How does that even work.

idk i remember you saying something like "im not a casual because i play all the minigames and i max out my trainer card every game"

At the time BW2 came out all those features were new. You're just ignoring that on purpose.

everything except the 1 (2) i named are reskins of something in a previous title

QR scanner was just another Mystery Gift to get one event Legend that could have been gotten with Mystery Gift.

not the only thing qr scanner does and that is actually a super upgrade to the alternative because it removes the part about event legends that makes them s*** game design

It's almost like you can't just hire people who are highly competent in all those fields and take the credit.

The problem is that you're assuming a company that makes fundamentally bad design choices and has bad management would magically hire the right people and then get out of their way.
Well lucky for GF no one does.
I'm very reasonable.
Research has proven that quote stackers are ALWAYS alts of each other ;)
Meh, in all fairness. it's the Switch. whilst X/Y did bring a graphical upgrade to the series, other games has bought in immersion or even surpassed it years earlier such as Yo-kai Watch. and even then, people will bring up the 3D when not in battles, and that showoffs like Lumiose city was uneeded. eventually even with ORAS, they had to add loading zones (if only because of the Dexnav having to load) and S/M removed Triples/Hordes, presumably due to graphical fidelity, mainly due to having to render 2/3 trainers on a single camera now....they cheat it in Battle Royale by doing far away overpans, or split the camera to avoid showing many models at once.


The thing, with a Switch Pokemon game, they'll have to work out several kinks. such as wherever to stifle the main experience by segregating off the Online, which would remove a functionally core feature of the game. they also have to wonder how they can handle multiple saves/carts on a system due to families sharing the system. or go with being the first games to store data on-cart. another thing is that even with graphical updates, who knows what'll be lost between generations. if you don't introduce anything new but still have handheld-tier graphics on a TV then they're going to have lots of raised eyebrows.


Pokemon for the Switch would have to pull off some shark-jumping moments for it to be distinct from the last few generations. even something as simple as reintegrating Soaring would be a decent change, or having the surf/dive Pokemon visible, heck even following. Pokemon needs something massive to justify jumping to the Switch, also since it's Pokemon, you're probably not going to see price drops any time soon. people might bring up the pricepoint of the game in comparison to gameplay duration. most major websites and fans will probably cite it as the best Pokemon game yet, but will reflect on it after a generation or 2 as one of the worst hellspawn in the franchise, barring anything like plot changes. (Colosseum, anything involving N/Ghetsis in BW, the lack of villainy/scenes with Lysandre/Diantha in XY. the changes to the plot,Teams Aqua/Magma and the Delta Episode in ORAS. and Lusamine in SM compared to other villains).


Game Freak basically pushed themselves into a corner by announcing a Switch game at this time. the Franchise has almost gone towards Precure speeds, and they can't sate time by doing another remake. the best they can do is some sort of pseudo-third version/sequel, but probably gets brushed off as Alternate Universe. alarm bells were ringing when Marshadow was shoehorned into the 20th movie. and unless there are new forms for legendaries (to pad out for movies), who's to say that they're not going to use the box legends/Ultra Beasts for some glorified Anime arc? or spam a 8th generation Pokemon as The Zoroark/Magearna for next year's movie?


Or they'll just do another Magearna movie, except have this one be in its Original Colors? they could do anything really. they even have Eternal Floette kept on ice.

i fail to see how bw2 had "content" when literally all of it was a copypaste/reskin of something in the game immediately prior
the closest thing to content bw2 had was the white treehollow aka 2 hours of literally just mashing the a button

At least he's not outright saying it's going to be a bad product, or not what people are expecting.
He's just saying it's going to be difficult and hopes it can live up the hype, nothing wrong with that.

The important thing will be if it gets the AAA budget it deserves, it outright needs 250mil+$ like GTA 5 had and other games get. If it doesn't get it that, then it is the purely cheapness on the publisher's part causing it not to live up to the hype, and not because he didn't do a good job.

The high budget is necessary for the modern AAA gaming market, plus it's guaranteed to make billions so the more they invest in the product the better off it'll be.


For me ever since Pokémon stadium I always dreamed of a full console game that had those nice 3d models with the open world adventure of the Gameboy games, 20 years later it's actually possible so these are exciting times if they get it right.

Actually, 3D models of that quality are too strong for the 3DS.

now that the move reminder gives you whatever a mon can learn there is no real need to lv anything past 64 (only because this is when zweilous evolves)

hyper training is not worth it when it would only be used in mons you cant even use online anyway

Honesty is nice but are you seriously suggesting that they should be praised for admitting they'll probably give us low effort again just because they're honest about it this time?

I'm kind of confused by how so many people are being relentlessly negative here.

You decide to be completely honest and admit to the blatantly obvious fact that a large video game is difficult to make in a way that can please as many people in your enormous fanbase as possible (And you still can't forget kids, as much as your older audience wants you to)

And everyone takes it as an obvious sign that it's the end times and this is going to turn out super horrible, a bunch of people even seeming to /want/ it to happen.

Based on their own subjective opinions and assumptions that not everyone is going to agree with, just further illustrating what a daunting task this actually is, because by immediately being pessimistic, you're already proving that it's inherently impossible to please everyone.

Just from what I've skimmed here, it's already like a circlejerk of negativity and jokes about their gross incompetence.

It's not suddenly easy to make games that'll sell millions of copies just because you don't admit it's hard. And what he said is fair advice for literally any game in existence. If you get all worked up and make a bunch of baseless super-hopeful assumptions that aren't grounded in real evidence, you're going to have to face reality at some point.

I just don't see how massive pessimism based on like two sentences is any better than blind optimism here. Sure, you're playing it safe by giving yourself extremely low standards, but you're also heavily twisting the extremely limited information you have to go on.
I don't see why people are reading so much into what they're saying right now; it's obviously mostly vague nothings that they've said before, especially since they're not even that far into development.

uh, if it's releasing in 2018 it's pretty damn far into development already
best case scenario, its a mainline gen 8 with the best graphics the series has ever seen, 130+ new pokemon, and a story rivalling movies like [your favorite movie].

worst case scenario, its cancelled. or pokemon snap 2. or moved to 3DS.

my expectation? gen 8, 60 new pokemon, small region, very colorful but oldschool graphics like gen 3-5.

I'd rather have 50-60 that look good than 150 bad ones that should've been put in the recycling bin.

    I would agree with you on the first 2 stages, but then Magneton takes a rather drastic change into a UFO thing with Magnezone. If Klinklang turned into something more interesting than just itself with a floating red gear surrounded by a ring, people wouldn't give it so much flak.

    I know what a mimic is doesn't matter Voltorb is still a line of inanimate objects with eyes slapped onto them, the ice cream and trashbag pokemon are both at least are designed with some semblance of creativity. The ice cream for example isn't ice cream at all it's a pile of living snow and ice with the ice frozen to give the illusion of a cone, straw, and toppings. Making it more like a combination snow and ice sculpture. 

    Slime is inanimate you never specified it needed to be common so nice goal post shifting. But fun fact slime, muck, and grime ARE a common thing found in homes. Typically in homes that neglect to do things like properly cleaning their drains and/or gutters.

    You've never seen a magnet, some screws, and a steel ball?

    I would agree with you on the first 2 stages, but then Magneton takes a rather drastic change into a UFO thing with Magnezone. If Klinklang turned into something more interesting than just itself with a floating red gear surrounded by a ring, people wouldn't give it so much flak.


    People still would because at the end of the day it's not about it being more or less creative it's about it coming later and ignoring that this has been a trend with pokemon since day 1. However I do agree that magnezone is actually a bit more creative in that it upgraded the steel ball with screws to a basic ufo and wasn't just one or two more magnemite stuck together.

    it's a good thing all those forms they gave us instead in gens 6 and 7 were the pinnacle of design

    With the exception of Hoenn->Sinnoh, when the number of mons added increases from the previous gen the average quality goes down, and vice versa.

    Can't be assed to format the numbers right now but numerous methods support this.
    Magnemite is a pair of horseshoe magnets, a giant ball bearing, and three large screws (one of which self-drives based on Magnemite's level of activity, presumably to rotate the magnets) that have somehow come together to create a lifeform. It's specifically stated to spin these magnets to produce electromagnetic waves powerful enough to defy gravity, is attracted to foreign electromagnetic waves, feeds on electricity, and together these traits result in Magnemite swarming to wireless technology and power transmission equipment where three of them become inseparably attracted to the point of becoming a new Pokemon and eventually fuse into yet another Pokemon because of strong electromagnetic fields.

    Klink is literally just a pair of gears, add one or two randomly-appearing gears per evo.

    Nice trying to downplay Klink. Klink is two separate mini gears that are born in predetermined pairs. If you try to bring mini-gears that don't mesh together they rebound off one another. If you bring two mini gears that do mesh then they become interlocked by the energy generated from their rotation. It's this energy that feeds them and keeps them alive. At evolution one of the mini-gears becomes larger and the rotation becomes more powerful enabling them to produce more energy and communicate their feelings through controlled rotation adjustments. It is now capable of launching its mini-gear component in form of various attacks however without the minigear the rotation will stop and it will no longer produce the energy that keeps it alive, so it's dangerous if the gear doesn't come back. At its final stage it produces one more gear to act as an energy tank allowing it to now rapidly produce and store energy, instead of the passive energy producing it did to feed. The third gear has spikes because they act as a way to channel and focus the new energy into an attack.

    In short it's a pokemon based on kinetic energy, it's gears that are held together by shape and kinetic energy and as it evolves the amount of energy it produces increases and it begins to be able to manipulate the energy and its own rotation more and more.

    Just playing devil's advocate here, but he DID get all that info from the dex entries.

    Klink:

    Black The two minigears that mesh together are predetermined. Each will rebound from other minigears without meshing.

    White Interlocking two bodies and spinning around generates the energy they need to live.

    Black/White 2 Two bodies comprise a fixed pair. They spin around each other to generate energy.


    Klang:

    Black By changing the direction in which it rotates, it communicates its feelings to others. When angry, it rotates faster.

    White Spinning minigears are rotated at high speed and repeatedly fired away. It is dangerous if the gears don't return.

    Black/White 2 A minigear and big gear comprise its body. If the minigear it launches at a foe doesn't return, it will die.


    Klinklang:

    Black Its red core functions as an energy tank. It fires the charged energy through its spikes into an area.

    White The gear with the red core is rotated at high speed for a rapid energy charge.

    Black/White 2 The minigear spins at high speed. Then the energy from the red core charges the minigear to make it ready to fire.

    it would be hard unless it was a light version they have a lot more room for graphics and opening the screen more on the switch plus they'd have to add the 2nd screen on the DS, its better for the game as a whole if it only comes out for the switch since the consoles are so different.

    You need to brush up on your Pokedex->reality translation skills, here's what they actually say.

    Klink:

    Black: We at GameFreak feel we must apologize for this "Pokemon".

    White: We were told by Masuda at the last second that we needed to make a pure-Steel design.

    Black/White 2: We slapped eyes on a pair of f***ing gears out of spite.


    Klang:

    Black: To our surprise, Masuda said he wanted us to expand the design into a family.

    White: We took the eyes off one of the gears and slapped on a bigger gear, Masuda asked how that worked.

    Black/White 2: Tired of his bulls***, we opened a videogame mad lib and randomly inserted synonyms for "spin" and "kinetic energy" everywhere we could.


    Klinklang:

    Black: Eyes glossed over in ego-inflating pseudo-science, Masuda asked for yet another f***ing design.

    White: Wanting to cut ourselves at this point, we incorporated our frustration by adding a spiky gear. 

    Black/White 2: Oh god what have we done. We swear we never thought these pieces of s*** would make it into the game.

    They kinda joked about the length of the game and that it might not being as long as that fan wanted. 40+ hours is a fair amount longer than the main story in most Pokemon games, and now that they need to do much more work on building a much better looking world than in the past it might not be possible.

    Wow people actually criticizing a popular game for its persistent faults. I did not expect so many people on my side for once. Glad to see I am not the only one tired of the bs. Usually people on the internet just can't stand when someone criticizes a game they like and actually has a different opinion and it just gets shut down. They just get labeled as trolls whose opinion is completely invalid. Because that's logical.
