You say that now, but wait until the game throws some obstacles in your way to make traversal more “interesting.” Doesn’t that sound fun?

I think the difference is that while those games are clearly inspired by pokemon, none of those creatures really look like specific Pokemon, which is definitely not true for this game. Most of those ones I’ve seen that are clearly “inspired” by certain Pokemon still seem legally distinct enough to not be a problem but…

What? Why would anybody expect what was in the trailer to be high-level gameplay and not a wholistic representation of the game? And your Eikon point is silly because the trailers also showed regular fighting, and never made it seem like you would constantly be fighting Eikons, although you do fight Eikons early in…

Those are all much more different than this game, I’d say “pokemon clones” are fine in general but the ones you listed are much more like original creatures using the Pokemon formula (or their take on the Pokemon formula). The creatures in palworld are much more obvious copies of particular Pokemon, but I’m assuming…

23 Years Later, We’ve Discovered An Amazing GameCube Easter Egg

“There have been many comparisons on the internet,” said Okatani, “But also, we saw on social media that the people who actually played it saw that it’s a completely different game.”

Boktai please. How? I don’t know, just make it happen

As I responded to someone else, there’s never been a cross-gen main series pokemon game. It’s not impossible but there’s absolutely no precedent and shouldn’t be considered likely to happen.

except it’s a mission started *by a distribution*???

It’s goofy and I can’t say I love the new mythical’s design but I like the inversion of the Momotaro story and I appreciate that it’s actually a little mission in-game instead of a distribution for the first time in ages (at least for new mythicals). I would love them to get back to sending you off to some remote…

I mean yeah, of course, I’m not saying the studio heads are leaking that info to some random ai company, but lots of people work for big game companies, and there’s always the chance of things leaking, even from reputable companies

I’m sure that Nintendo didn’t officially share anything with them but I’m sure that there are third party devs out there that have that info, so who knows if some of those devs let slip a little more info than they should have to someone they shouldn’t have. But also I would totally believe marketing stunt. We…

I would have though they would keep selling it because I thought they usually kept selling systems for a while after the previous one came out, but looking on Wikipedia it’s not so clear (some seem to have lasted a while, others didn’t or don’t have data) so I have no idea what to expect. It would be nice for them to…

I think Dial of Destiny is bad but I think all of the others are fine? Great Circle isn’t the most exciting but it’s fine.

If there’s a new Pokémon this year, it will definitely be a cross-gen release.

I don’t think last year seemed that lean going into it. We knew we were getting TotK, a new FE, a new Pikmin, the continuation of Splatoon support, the culmination of the Xenoblade 3 DLC, the rest of the Mario Kart DLC, and we could easily guess Pokemon was getting DLC. I think the only new first party games (not…

What I wanna know is, will they just call this thing switch 2?

There have certainly been some stinkers, especially in the past couple decades, but I feel like most of those could have been good with better execution. Secret Rings for example was properly bad, not just middling, but I think it could have been good with better controls. I don’t even think Frontiers was a really bad…

Yeah but people said the same thing last year. “Fall 2023, just you watch!” people opined. Didn’t happen.

Once they announce the new thing sales of the Switch are going to flatline, so Nintendo probably wants to keep the time between announcement and release as small as possible.
