I think one of the most frustrating things about this is that it should have been easy to give us the complete pokedex. Instead of feeling like they weren't able to add my favorite gen 5+ Pokemon, I'm left feeling like I'm not allowed to have them.
I want to give them the benefit of the doubt and say that they must have switched the order around... But I mean, Byleth... Nintendo clearly doesn't understand how to go out with a bang
Whoa didn't hear about this! It's obviously not ideal, but I'll play the cloud version of KH3 before I'll buy a new system for two or three games no problem! 😃
The 'removed features' they're referring to is the extended distance for PokeStops they gave us for the pandemic. Hardly a sign that the end of go is nigh.
I really want this to be good, but right now it looks like they're presenting Mario Kart but less polished and more clunky on a system where everyone already has Mario Kart.
I think half an hour is the sweet spot. Some recent music I've been checking out is "Leave Your Castle" from Child of Light, "Awe of She" from Guilty Gear and "Layer Cake" from Persona 5
This trailer made me realize that I'm still burned out on Generation 4 battle music from all the online battling I did. So glad we're not stuck with one song now
@Araquanid I mean yeah but they had to dial the concept back to the point of being unrecognizable. The leaked concept is cool but now it's just a fish that randomly evolves into an octopus.
@Chocobo_Shepherd I think the bigger issue is that the mainline games are less a flagship series and more so a minor cog in a multimedia franchise. So don't beat yourself up 😛
I suppose that depends. Are they adding pokemon from later gens? I kinda doubt it considering the level of laziness they've displayed in every other aspect of this production. Otherwise I don't think I'll be picking it up.
If we had the virtual console as well, then sure. But this is the only access we have to classic Nintendo games. It's only natural for updates like these to feel like missed opportunities.

Re: Rockstar Apologises For GTA Trilogy Issues, First Of Multiple Updates Due In 'Coming Days'
It's not like they weren't aware of the issues before they shipped it out. Rockstar knew what they were doing.
Re: Pokémon Brilliant Diamond And Shining Pearl Are Out Today On Switch, Which Version Are You Getting?
My friend asked me if I was getting this after passing on Unite. I said "No, this time it's not political, I just don't buy crap"

Re: Feature: Metroid Dread Has Plenty Of Other M's DNA, And That's No Bad Thing
@BeefSanta To be fair anything looks higher quality standing next to the sequel trilogy

Re: Soapbox: Can We Please Retire The Phrase 'Lazy Devs' Already?
The blame surely lies higher up the chain than the devs, but someone is responsible for the lazy production that is bdsp.

@Shadowmoon522 You sir are a prince among Nintendolife readers
Re: A New Limited-Time Pokémon Sword And Shield Charizard Distribution Has Begun
@Thoughts Yeah, you'd think they'd at least include the moveset and held item if they're getting a whole article out of this
Re: Nintendo Shuts Down Offices In California And Toronto
@JR150 I'm not really a fan of California either, but "Sony's also here and they censor things" is a pretty weak reason to throw it under the bus
Re: Soapbox: Nintendo's N64 Emulation Is Serviceable, But Treasured Memories Deserve Better
I just feel like the 'service' would be overpriced even if everything actually worked, so Nintendo pretty much gets what they get here.

It's not official until they hastily draw frown lines on the eyes
Re: Nintendo's Switch Exclusive Metroid Dread Is Already Being Emulated On PC
Great, it's not like Metroid desperately needs sales. Who needs Metroid 6 anyways? Exactly, no one
Re: 7-Eleven Japan's Pokémon GO Collab Ends, Removing Almost 20,000 Pokéstops
The 'removed features' they're referring to is the extended distance for PokeStops they gave us for the pandemic. Hardly a sign that the end of go is nigh.
Re: Video: Here's Another Look At Square Enix's New Racing Game Chocobo GP

Re: Purchase A Digital Copy Of Pokémon Legends: Arceus And Receive 30 Heavy Balls At Launch
I know, I know, don't complain, but gamefreak always has the weakest promotions. I guess I should be glad they're not offering us potions
Re: Talking Point: Which Video Game Song Could You Listen To For Ten Hours?
I think half an hour is the sweet spot. Some recent music I've been checking out is "Leave Your Castle" from Child of Light, "Awe of She" from Guilty Gear and "Layer Cake" from Persona 5
Re: Video: Check Out This Comparison Of The Pokémon Diamond And Pearl Remake Trailers

Re: Feature: Minecraft And Celeste Composer On Nintendo Influences And Writing For The Biggest Game In The World
Her work on Celeste is amazing, one of my favorite soundtracks. I didn't know she worked on Minecraft as well. 😀
Re: Latest Pokémon Brilliant Diamond And Shining Pearl Trailer Shows New And Returning Features
At this point all I want is to be able to use new pokemon in the game. If they give me that I'm sold.
Re: Random: Comic Artist Creates Legendary For 'Pokémon Gun' Meme
@Araquanid I mean yeah but they had to dial the concept back to the point of being unrecognizable. The leaked concept is cool but now it's just a fish that randomly evolves into an octopus.

@Nameless_Shame Yes.
Re: Random: This Absolute Unit Of A Game Boy Advance Was Made By The Creator Of 'Long Game Boy'

Still kinda miss the real EB Games.
Re: What Pokémon Will You Be Using In The Diamond And Pearl Remakes? Nintendo Wants To Know
@Tulio517 Yeah, that's a big part of why I still prefer the originals to frlg.
Re: What Pokémon Will You Be Using In The Diamond And Pearl Remakes? Nintendo Wants To Know
@EarthboundBenjy I honestly think Luxray is pretty overrated. That didn't stop me from using it, obviously 😛
Re: What Pokémon Will You Be Using In The Diamond And Pearl Remakes? Nintendo Wants To Know
@Chocobo_Shepherd I think the bigger issue is that the mainline games are less a flagship series and more so a minor cog in a multimedia franchise. So don't beat yourself up 😛
Re: What Pokémon Will You Be Using In The Diamond And Pearl Remakes? Nintendo Wants To Know
I suppose that depends. Are they adding pokemon from later gens? I kinda doubt it considering the level of laziness they've displayed in every other aspect of this production. Otherwise I don't think I'll be picking it up.
