Huh, so they’re actually going to wait a year. I honestly expected them to push a Pokemon game ASAP for the Switch 2, but I guess it’s better that they take their time than release a mess like Scarlet & Violet.

Legends Z-A was the title for the switch 2. I mean, Scarlet and Violet was clearly supposed to be the switch 2 title (its obvious they developed the game for that hardware) but they needed to rush it to get their one game a year quota.

They have to make time to finish that Sekiro-like.

As someone who hasn’t played a pokemon game since Gen 3, what are they like these days? Have they totally jumped the shark?
natecox@programming.dev 11 hours ago
Terrible. They are terrible today. The last game pair they put out was an absolute joke in every regard.
I recommend never giving them another penny.

Sounds good, I’ll continue to emulate Soul Silver and Emerald on my phone 😁

Oh, yes. And the shark has a N64 number of polygons, and they tried to copyright the term "jumping the shark". But it's okay, because there's a horde of dumb people that will buy it anyway.

It definitely depends on how much they incorporate improvements from Legends: Arceus (one of the side games). Gens 6 - 8 were all so easy that a popular way to play each of those is with a difficulty mod, if you are able.
Gen 9 tried to mix it up a bit, but as another user mentioned the performance on the Switch was so poor that it was hard to enjoy.
Legends: Arceus has introduced several quality of life features that could be game changing if they make it into Winds & Waves, but we shall see. This could be the most fun mainline gen, if they do it right, or they could fumble it again.

Arceus turned the whole game into pokemon snap with balls. Or the safari zone. It wasn’t good, unless you like playing pokemon games to catch every pokemon as fast as possible

I’ve played every main-line and reboot pokemon game since they came out. I didn’t finish Scarlet and Violet, it was so bad, also didn’t finish Legends Arceus cause it was so lazy, and I’ve never played Legends Z-A. They’ve stopped putting in any amount of effort, so why should I bother to play them?

Let’s see what kind of unbelievable powecreep they come up with to upstage Urshifu and the horses.

Finally, hardware is powerful enough that even Gamefreak can make a decent looking 3d game!
In all seriousness though, it looks pretty nice. Looking forward to the return of diving. South-east Asia is an interesting setting for a new region. I have a feeling IGN isn’t going to like it though…

And its Not final. I’m Sure world building is mostly done. But I believe chars and Pomémon model will also bei polished.
I expected less tbh. I’m curious about further steps later in years.
