@Mo_Zing This comment was unnecessary...
@Joeynator3000 ?
I need it in my life
Vorläufiger Titel ?
Coming out Fall 2019 now
It's my favorite game))
On my to-do list
This is Generation 8 and open world can't wait.
most likley will be picking up, i just cant wait for the diamond and pearl remakes, its been long time coming
I was hyped for this game, but with the recent news... not so sure.
I still want chickens in this game. No matter what
I can't wait, id even grab a Themed switch lmao
At the time I write this, the new Pokémon games have
I have to ask, out of sheer curiosity: Why do people like these games again?
@N00BiSH Honestly, even I as a long time fan of the series is HIGHLY disappointed if anything...
Im flippin hyped up for this
@Interneto same here
@matty33 wuht?
Are half the posts on here incoherent gibberish or should I be concerned that I may be experiencing a stroke?
will buy out my sheer liking of the series, but was slightly disappointed last few gens.
I'm not sure I understand ... are these TWO SEPARATE games? (For $60 USD each?!)
Well crap, I bit and just pre-ordered on Amazon for $57 been awhile since I played a Pokemon ≧∇≦
@bigbankhank as far as I'm aware it's just that there is certain Pokemon that are only available on each version.
@N00BiSH lol, why should you care what other people buy. It's our money, not yours. Why are you even here if you don't like the Pokemon franchise?? I personally play the pokemon games because I get nostalgic of my childhood, and because I like to see the new region/pokemon and how the series has developed over the years. Unfortunately for you Pokemon isn't going away anytime soon lmao
@bigbankhank They are basically the same game, same story, same experience. They differ by only a little bit, but it won't change anything
Am beating that the third version is going to be titled Pokemon Crown.
Finally got the game delivered today from amazon. Only thing that bothers me at the moment is being able to move the camera around in wild view but no where else -.- just seems really odd.
Also why is the announcer dude with a beard called Rose xD
@pumpknsniper More power to you, then.
I went back to the 3DS and DS versions which are so much better.
I need someone to trade me a foreign ditto
