@Browny are you seriously comparing the wild area to this? Have you looked at the map of Paldea? It's FULL of cities, it has much core points of interest than BOTW's Hyrule.
An open world is the biggest improvement you could hope for, not updating the core mechanics is a fair complaint, but it still should be the best Pokémon game ever.
I bet everything that anyone who doubts the open world is a huge game changer will change their minds immediately as soon as they play.
@MajorTom the world is much fuller than BOTWs Hyrule, as you can see on the map.
And you can never know what a open world offers until you play it, it makes no sense to say it won't have secrets at this point, there's no way you could know that.
I hope everybody now finally understands the game is fully open-world! A lot of people are really slow-witted 😅😅
But the fact that you have essentially three different campaigns is EXACTLY what I imagined for Pokemon!!! This is SO perfect!
Thus game has a very high chance of being the best Pokémon game EVER!
Nintendo is gonna Nintendo, the most arrogant company in the world to think customers are supposed to pay a subscription service for repairing your poorly built product.
Love Nintendo as a game studio, I absolutely hate Nintendo as a company.
If the new mechanics are past and future forms like I think they are, and that past forms are exclusive to Scarlet, and future forms to Violet, this will be a tough choice.
But I'll probably fall for really cool futuristic forms. Like imagine a really rad futuristic Blastoise! Dear Arceus!
@Floki Bandai Namco is the publisher for Elden Ring, Bandai at least co-financed the project, and a large part of that 1 billion dollars+ from the 20 mil sold copies goes to Bandai, so they could invest that money into new projects, and Digimon is the biggest franchise that Bandai really owns, if I'm not mistaking anything, all those other anime games they do, they're licensed, it's not Bandais IP, but they do fully own Digimon.
Well, you're probably one of the few people in the world who thinks the first open-world Pokemon is not exciting.
@Floki yeah but they're not thaaaat good and not on Switch. I would like a new one, with a big budget and on my favourite hybrid console.Or a an improved port of Next Order, with new features, quality of life, I would take that too.
These last games like Cybersleuth were a baffling misdirection for the series, who thought making a pseudo-detective Digimon game was a good idea? And now an ultra-niche game like Survive.
@SuperCharr you have way too high expectations there. We've already seen it's not a 10/10 graphically, happy for you if you think that, but to me it's more like a 8.5/10, still the best graphics in the series.
It's not 10/10 in Pokémon already either, Fuecoco is fugly, Quaxly is blend, Sprigatito is cute, but it's a green weed cat with red eyes...
@mariomaster96 if this game is SWSH but in Open World it..........will still be one of the best game in the series because the biggest problem with SWSH for me was the corridor design world.
I would like SV to be just PLA with gyms and fully open world, but I'm trying to keep an open mind.
@Mythra this is a 100% speculative on your part, there's 0 guarantee the game will take the same path Ring Fit did, Ring Fit also launched with a 4 times smaller install base.
The launch is a huge flop, that's not trolling, that's a fact.
@westman98 it's an absolute flop in Japan, the numbers are clear.
If you don't think this is a flop, you don't follow that japanese charts. This game is gonna sell 600K there, that's a HUGE flop, all major Switch first parties sell 2-4 million.
@Sonos the whole chip shortage thing for consoles is complete *****, they have enough chips, this is the fastest selling console gen of all time.
Is there even more demand? Yes, but it's not like it's the end of the world like Sony and Microsoft are trying to make it look like, they have enough and they are selling more than enough. This is probably business strategy to tell shareholders they have even more demand, and thus will likely sell even more in the future. It's a smart PR strategy, it's just that people over exaggerate the influence the shortage has on their business because of that.
Wow, NSW Sports is a HUGE flop in Japan, sold half of Kirby's sales, and it's already stagnated, it's not going up.
That's unfortunate, I really enjoy the game, hope it does well in the west.
To be fair, the original Wii Sports was not as popular in Japan, Reggies decision to bundle it in in the west is what made that game a phenomenon in the west.
@EmoGamer no, I would make Digimon be better and sell more. All Digimon games are much worse than Pokémon in average.
It doesn't need to be exactly the same, it can habe it's own ideas, but it should be a lot more similar to Pokémon.
Pokémon needs concurrence, there are not a lot of big monster collecting games out there, you have Monster Hunter Stories now, which is great but still not anything near Pokémon in sales, and you have more niche stuff like Temtem and Rune Factory, where the monster collecting is more of a side thing, although I still love it.

Re: Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Trailer Unveils Region Name And New Mechanics
@Late yes I don't like the gimmick but I'm indifferent, it shouldn't interfere with the enjoyment of the game.

Re: Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Trailer Unveils Region Name And New Mechanics
@RupeeClock the new gimmick is dumb. Care zero about it, I hope the game doesn't expect me to use it to be able to win.

Re: Buzzwole Flexes Its Muscles In A New Pokémon Unite Spotlight Trailer
@Fizza my gosh, you have terrible taste, that's damaging for Pokemon as a brand, if this disease spreads, one day all Pokémon will have fugly designs.
Re: Buzzwole Flexes Its Muscles In A New Pokémon Unite Spotlight Trailer
One of the worst Pokemon designs ever.
As we see with Puckled Squire or how it's called, James Turner is better off somewhere else.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Digimon Survive

Re: Pokémon Presents Will Feature New Scarlet & Violet Info Later This Week
HEEEEEEEELLLL YEAAAAAAAAAH DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I hope it's a full reveal with explanation this time, and not just a silent trailer, sick of the noobs getting the game wrong online.
Re: Poll: Digimon Survive Is Finally Available, Will You Be Getting It?
No, not at all. It's a tedious visual novel.
I want a new World game.

Re: Reggie: Nintendo's Transition From Switch Will Be A "Significant Challenge"
@koekiemonster your estatement doesn't reflect how business people see the market.
Years ago, analysts thought anything with Wii on it's name would be successful.
His statement is not obvious, you just don't know enough about the video game market.
Re: Poll: Pokémon Scarlet Or Violet - Which Will You Choose?

Re: Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Releases 18th November
Hmm... This trailer droped the ball.
They don't revealed anything, and what I dislike the most: the battle UI is back to the old ways, PLA's was soooo much better
Hoping for a Presents soon to really show what this game is about...
Re: Video: Bandai Namco Releases New Commercial For Digimon Survive

Re: Video: Bandai Namco Releases New Commercial For Digimon Survive
@Floki "fresh ideas" that NO ONE cares about. With Pokémon, we still get mainline games. With Digimon, we only got weird spin-offs for 6 years.
You obviously don't follow the gaming market closely, have you heard about a tiny game called "Elden Ring" that sold 20 million copies?
And you obviously also don't play Pokémon. PLA was great and Scarlet and Violet look very promising.
Re: Video: Bandai Namco Releases New Commercial For Digimon Survive
@Floki yeah but they're not thaaaat good and not on Switch. I would like a new one, with a big budget and on my favourite hybrid console.Or a an improved port of Next Order, with new features, quality of life, I would take that too.
These last games like Cybersleuth were a baffling misdirection for the series, who thought making a pseudo-detective Digimon game was a good idea? And now an ultra-niche game like Survive.
Re: Junichi Masuda Leaves Game Freak For New Role At The Pokémon Company
Thank you for everything, Masuda-san! You're a legend!
Now it's time for new challenges, and other people to take over the mantle in the mainline Pokémon games!
Very excited for the future of the franchise!
Re: Video: Bandai Namco Releases New Commercial For Digimon Survive
Care 0.00000000000000 about this game, please make a big open-world Digimon game like Pokémon Scarlet Violet, Bandai.
Re: Japanese Charts: An All-Switch Top Ten Is Lead By Nintendo Switch Sports

Re: Japanese Charts: An All-Switch Top Ten Is Lead By Nintendo Switch Sports
@Mythra this article is about JAPAN. I'm talking about JAPAN. The internet and it's text interpretation...
Re: Japanese Charts: An All-Switch Top Ten Is Lead By Nintendo Switch Sports
@Arawn93 the initial sales in Japan is definitely a huge flop. That's a fact, it's not a matter of opinion.
It has nothing to do with budget, but with sales potential. Basically all major Switch first parties sell more than this in the first weeks.
Re: Japanese Charts: An All-Switch Top Ten Is Lead By Nintendo Switch Sports
@westman98 it's an absolute flop in Japan, the numbers are clear.
If you don't think this is a flop, you don't follow that japanese charts. This game is gonna sell 600K there, that's a HUGE flop, all major Switch first parties sell 2-4 million.
Re: Japanese Charts: An All-Switch Top Ten Is Lead By Nintendo Switch Sports
@Sonos the whole chip shortage thing for consoles is complete *****, they have enough chips, this is the fastest selling console gen of all time.
Is there even more demand? Yes, but it's not like it's the end of the world like Sony and Microsoft are trying to make it look like, they have enough and they are selling more than enough.

Re: Japanese Charts: An All-Switch Top Ten Is Lead By Nintendo Switch Sports
@Anti-Matter these numbers are amazing for Xbox in Japan.
Re: Japanese Charts: An All-Switch Top Ten Is Lead By Nintendo Switch Sports
Wow, NSW Sports is a HUGE flop in Japan, sold half of Kirby's sales, and it's already stagnated, it's not going up.
That's unfortunate, I really enjoy the game, hope it does well in the west.
To be fair, the original Wii Sports was not as popular in Japan, Reggies decision to bundle it in in the west is what made that game a phenomenon in the west.
Re: Lord Of The Rings: Gollum Release Date Set, But Switch Version Needs More Time
Nintendo reaaaaally needs to fix this "Switch later" thing in the next generations.
It's for EVERY bigger third party game. Nintendo is losing hundreds of millions in lost sales, from which they get a cut, due to later releases.
Re: Video: Bandai Namco Shares New Gameplay Footage Of Digimon Survive
@EmoGamer no, I would make Digimon be better and sell more. All Digimon games are much worse than Pokémon in average.
It doesn't need to be exactly the same, it can habe it's own ideas, but it should be a lot more similar to Pokémon.
Pokémon needs concurrence, there are not a lot of big monster collecting games out there, you have Monster Hunter Stories now, which is great but still not anything near Pokémon in sales, and you have more niche stuff like Temtem and Rune Factory, where the monster collecting is more of a side thing, although I still love it.
Re: Video: Bandai Namco Shares New Gameplay Footage Of Digimon Survive
@EmoGamer I disagree, I want Digimon to be basically the same as Pokémon, so I have double the fun with both franchises.
