To be honest these days I think WoW might have a younger average user

Neopets is very much not WoW for kids and started 5 years before WoW anyway

Worth mentioning that the story only starts to get good in expansions (or that’s what I’ve been told). I finally recently managed to get through the core story and almost to Heavensward in a 2-week free login campaign last year and the story has been dull as bricks so far.

When they’ve barely even started ES6, it’s hard to imagine they have more than the vaguest notions of what’ll be in Fallout 5

I really enjoy Captain Toad (favorite part of Mario 3D World and really glad it got its own game), I would love more of those. I also would love a Luigi’s Mansion that was more similar to the first (3 was already much better than 2 but I miss the interconnectedness of the mansion in the original). I’d also like a…

I have a lot of nostalgia for older 2D Mario games (specifically the ones in Super Mario All Stars, since that was what my babysitter had) and Super Mario Sunshine, but I’d probably have to say Odyssey. They did such an amazing job making the captures feel good to control and making a bunch of interesting worlds just…

I don’t have super specific hopes. I want the game to be closer to Arceus than to SV and I want the “A” in the logo to represent a new Pokemon, not just the ultimate weapon from XY. I do have a lot of questions/speculation though

Well it is listed as an action RPG like Arceus which doesn't guarantee it'll be like Arceus (could be action-based in a different way) but hopefully they can keep it feeling as snappy.

That’s interesting, makes a lot of sense. It’s hard to imagine how that would look in a Pokemon game set entirely inside the city. Where would you catch wild Pokemon? Guess it’s not my job to figure that out so I don’t have to worry about that :p Just very curious to see what the game will be like

Yeah even if they hadn’t shown off the map and just said it would be entirely based in Lumiose I wouldn’t be worried about the size, I would have just assumed they scaled it up. The thing I’m curious about is just how they’ll handle nature, as ALJC brought up, since it’s a very urban environment.

My guess is that based on the premise of redevelopment, it’ll start mostly urban (as it was in XY) and you’ll have only like a small park to catch Pokemon in and as you progress through the game you’ll add more nature and therefore more environments to catch Pokemon.

I see, I’ve never noticed that phrasing before (but my attention has never been pointed towards it), makes sense. I absolutely would rule out something coming later this year though. If they didn’t announce it today, we’re not getting it this year. They wouldn’t announce a game for 2025 and not 2024 if they had…

Huh, it’s an interesting observation that the logo looks like the ultimate weapon. I took it to be hinting at the existence of an “A” legendary (the Z is textured like Zygarde, similar to the X and Y looking like Xerneas and Yveltal), but who knows.

To be fair last time they actually showed footage and this time we only got a teaser... but I still think it’s pretty exciting. Let’s Go Johto would have been underwhelming, but this is 1) finally going back to the Z version they skipped and not doing the expected Johto/Unova, 2) not forcing a 2024 release, and 3)…

You might be right that the comment is irrelevant but it’s definitely strange phrasing. I don’t know why they would use language like that before the Switch 2 was actually announced though, so it probably doesn’t mean anything.

Yeah, it definitely has something to do with AZ.

It’s very funny to me all the speculation about Johto and Unova (I was even starting to come around to it) and it ends up skipping both and going to Kalos. Love it. Reinforces my view that for Pokemon the content is the content and hints are minor.

Very excited about a new monkey ball, hopefully it’s actually good. The last couple weren’t great but that was over a decade ago. Penny’s Big Breakaway, End Ocean, and Fantasy Life all have my attention, and I’m considering Pocket Card Jockey since I never got it for 3DS.

No, looks like they Disney is still there. I don’t know if you’re supposed to say it or if it’s just there in the title to show that it’s Disney if someone was confused for some reason, but it’s still there. They seem to not be consistent about it.

It doesn’t have all the features of a normal mainline Pokemon game, but it does still have many other features of most mainline Pokemon games. It’s officially classified as a main series games. It’s still about collecting wild Pokemon and filling up a Pokedex, you still have 6 Pokemon that can learn 4 moves at a time,…
