Comment on Massive Pokemon leak purportedly covers next-gen games, scrapped ideas, and more

I’ve lost any emotion for new games of this franchise since, like, 20 years
Mine went away when they discovered like 400 new pokemon and still told me I gotta catch em all.
No mate.
150 (151 actually omg you didnt even know that what kind of fan are you you didnt even…) was plenty. Took me fucking ages to get them all. Im not going through that shit again.
Idk, I completed both Gen I and II fully, getting all 151 (plus MissingNo.) and 251 Pokemon respectively in those games, and it wasn’t that bad. If you’re just doing the regional pokedex each game I’d probably find it fun because I like collecting things.
Trying to complete the national pokedex in later games sounds miserable though. 1,000+ Pokemon in one game?? No thanks. But I’m fairly certain you can’t even complete the national pokedex anymore because many older Pokemon just aren’t in the newer games.
Yea new games don’t even have a full national dex, iirc anything past the 3ds lacks a full national dex. Pay more for less!
I feel like that was bound to happen eventually. They’re already at over 1,000 pokemon and this is a cash cow they’re never putting down. It’s still super lame though.
You don’t actually have to catch them all.
I’ve never bothered doing that in any of the pokemon games I’ve played and still thoroughly enjoyed them.
That will change once they add sex scenes.
Yeah, the series died with Pearl for me.
Still good games up to that point, though.
Ok boomer
I rather be a Boomer than be foolish enough to pay $60 every year for the same exact game. Pokémon has changed so little that I could pick up a modern title 20 years after playing my last one and still know exactly how the game mechanics work with no tutorial.
As a former die-hard pokemon fan, i wished the games would be exactly the same. Peaking in 5th gen, the games first slowly got worse and on Switch the series got more terrible with every entry. Very disappointing to me and many like me. I basically just want a polished game thst plays like Emerald/Platinum/Black with new Pokémon and a new story.

Coromon is a pretty good indie if you liked the old GBA games. Trmtem is one I had fun with in the 3d space.

Cassette Beasts is another great one.

Love the vibes on that one. But I couldn’t beat it.

TemTem is going to, or already has, announced the servers for the game were going offline, but that you could still play single player. A noble move when big companies are just shuttering their servers and leaving their games unplayable.

The noble move would be to enable players to host their own servers.
It’s not that difficult, especially if the devs aren’t complete morons.

Second coromon! Its my favorite monster catcher besides Pokémon. Nexomon doesn’t take itself seriously and is a nice filler for Pokémon as well.

Also check out Cassette Beasts and Beastieball!

The only alternatives I‘ve played were Nexomon and TemTem, and Nexomon‘s grind sucked the life outta me, especially when they pulled a „oh nonono, this new region has different levels you have to grind from 0!“
TemTem was pretty fun in co-op though… even though I had to play with a VPN for the first time in my entire life cause somehow players wouldn‘t move on my screen with my „raw“ connection. No game has ever done this before nor has any game acted like this since lol, completely weird.

Nice! Glad I’m not the only one.
My wife played through nexomon! She liked it but the visual style wasn’t my thing. But it did look fun.

I recommend just playing, or replying, the older games instead of wasting money on some indie trash to fill the void.

This is what I do. I do replay the old or play them with hacks. No matter how, those indie games always feel like a ripoff.
