That doesn’t really explain why they leapfrogged over the Galar starters though instead of putting the Galar starters in back in 2019/2020. I’m thinking it’s because when the SwSh DLC was coming out they hadn’t even put in gen 6 yet and were still implementing 5, so they didn’t want to skip over 2 whole generations…

First guess I got 3 of the 4 categories right, and my next 2 guesses were correct in all categories but the fish was wrong, and I got the right fish on the fourth guess. With such a small pool of answers and so few variables it’s not particularly satisfying.

Incineroar is Alola. A handful of Galar Pokemon are in Go, but only a handful (The Skwovet and Wooloo lines and Falinks, a few regional forms/evos, and 4 legendaries). The vast majority, including the starters, aren’t in Go yet.

Still so funny to me that they just skipped Galar starters for now. It also feels like a misstep to do that when (at least) 3 of the upcoming DLC Pokemon are based on Galar Pokemon. I guess they can release the whole Applin and Duraludon lines at once? Same with Sinistea and Poltchageist (although technically…

In five hundred years, when historians are sifting through the history of the medium, are they going to be looking at the Last of Us and all the subsequent photorealistic games and say “Oh, yes, that’s the look that defined videogames, the stuff that looks like movies.” No! Videogames will be defined by pixel art…

“It’s an art form” doesn’t mean “there’s nothing nostalgic about it.” Nostalgia is definitely plays a part. That doesn’t mean that’s the only reason that people could possibly like pixel art, but it is definitely a factor. I’m also not saying people will stop making them or buying them, I’m just saying that I…

This really doesn’t surprise me. I’m not saying nobody young can enjoy pixel aesthetics but I feel like most of the appeal of pixel graphics is nostalgia. There are a handful of modern games that use pixel art that I think are genuinely lovely (like Iconoclasts and Sea of Stars) but I think most pixel games don’t…

I dunno, I kinda feel like the entirety of Pokemon Go is “lukewarm leftovers.” You say there’s no sense of it building towards anything but even when there is I feel like there’s never any excitement anyway because it’s always so obvious what it is? I can’t remember the last time I read a single line of dialog Willow…
