@Maxz Ha! It does look ill.

Sure, they get points for creativity.

@the_beaver A wizard . . . arrives precisely when he means to.

All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.

Who cares if save states make it easier? We're just revisiting old content anyway. They arguably make all the NSO games "easier." Big deal. Let us play them and figure that out for ourselves. Nintendo literally put out "SP" versions of NES games to aid us in hopefully reaching the ends of the games. Completing your Pokédex is a grind. Maybe helping people climb that mountain isn't such a bad thing.

I wish they would specify if online multiplayer in the announced games is only with friends or not. They could just say "matchmaking" or maybe even "random" instead of the loaded "stranger." They probably don't support it anyway.

Flint Rot- WOOOD

Guacamole was really fun, but I need to go back and finish it. I devoured Severed. Such a great game. I have never tried Nobody. This new game looks cool.

Oh, great! I need to play the first one and watch that series. I love the movie. Thanks for the review!

@nathatruc Amen!

@Ooccoo_Jr It was months before that registered for me, as well.

Metroidbrainia is inspired.

@Yalloo Yeah, that often happens on these earlier Directs. I think the eShop refreshes at a specific time each day.

Those screenshots are very sharp!

@RupeeClock Yeah, I understand that. You're right. I'm just not sure it works in plush form. For me.

@Maxz Good one. Still looks off to me.

I understand it's because they're using the Game Boy version, but the black and white is weird... It's not like they made the box art in grayscale.

Maybe Capcom is developing the next 3D Mario game!

@Fighting_Game_Loser I was going to say - isn't this the first full soundtrack for a Switch 2 (exclusive) title? It seems the answer is "Yes."

@N00BiSH 🙉🔪👂🏻👂🏻🩸🤕☮️🔇🛌👼

@HammerKirby 😂🤣👍🏻👍🏻

@Kazman2007 I think they have zero for the rest of this year. Why else wouldn't they have shown it already? They'll probably tell us to replay our old games. What a joke. This system's going to fail. They're a dead company. They should just make games for mobile. And movies, apparently. I'm going back to my Xbox, the console with a future.

@N00BiSH Noooooooo!! MAKE IT STOP!!!!! 🪦

Don't say "backlog!" 😱

15 minutes seems so short.

@HammerGalladeBro What is or will be interesting is how Nintendo is managing to print all their games on cartridges while most others do not. This game is only 10 GB, from what I saw. So storage is not an issue. Others have said that it is a read speed problem, where the speed of the cartridges cannot match that of the hard storage. I'm not disputing that, it sounds plausible. And it probably doesn't affect all games equally. But if it does pose a possible challenge, how is Nintendo getting around it, and will they continue to do so as they presumably continue to make even more complex and demanding Switch 2 titles? Otherwise, the reason that makes the most sense is a matter of profit. These companies are looking to maximize their gains, and one way they intend to do that is by offering us cheaper delivery methods and charging the usual prices. I imagine Nintendo doesn't pay as much to print cartridges, since they probably don't have to worry about a license or something and maybe have a stake in the manufacturers. Or maybe Nintendo just absorbs the added cost as a way of pleasing the customers and hopefully attracting more game sales with less than "outrageous" prices. I guess we will find out!

Great review, thanks! It's amazing how things have turned around for this game since we first all saw it. I really think I want to play this now.

All right, NOW we'll finally get that 3D Mario announcement. Phew!

@Nep-Nep-Freak How exciting for you then, that's awesome! I feel like I've heard positive things about a lot of the points you're bringing up.

Well, that's great. Everyone experiences things differently. You're not enjoying the game IN SPITE of the technical shortcomings of it. You're just enjoying the game as it is. And that's pretty cool too. I'm glad you got to enjoy it so much.

Oh wow! Kind of a different direction there, haha. I'm not sure that game would be for me, but cheers to your fun!

@ottoecamn Good point. And I think the character design of the 'Mon is fantastic, generally. And their animations seem great in Z-A, from what I've played so far. It's just that they do stick out in the worlds they're being set in.

Has the BAB tied before? That's really funny.

So, the Black/White legendaries were only available in the games that didn't feature them on the covers? That seems rather misleading.

@ottoecamn I do think that if they continue to lean realistic with the environments, the cartoonish Pokémon will stand out a bit more as incongruent with their surroundings. Maybe that's part of what you're seeing, too.

@UpsideDownRowlet This is only now March, so rest assured, we will receive more first-party titles this year than we currently know about. They do this every year...

@Nep-Nep-Freak I don't completely understand the "I'm glad they're waiting to get it right" argument. We've already had 1 or 2 Pokémon Presents before this one where they didn't announce the Gen10 games. I get what people are saying, but you could theoretically just say that forever with the assumption that the game can only be improved with more time. I'm not saying they should release it now if it's not "ready", but why didn't they just wait again and announce it next year, closer to its release? Oh well. I'm sure they wanted to drop it with the 30th anniversary.

What did you love about Violet? What did you not like about it? Which game surpassed it recently? (I never played S/V)

@skolvuk I was not aware of that. I guess I would have thought otherwise. Haha, thanks for taking the time!

@shoeses I see, that sounds good then. Thank you!

Thanks for the review! I'm still interested in this game. Hopefully they improve the issues you described. It seems like they will, given the extra efforts after Skyrim's release. But if it also still has bugs from the original release, I guess we may be stuck with those.

@tourjeff I had asked this on another page. I was told that I may not pick up on references to other games - which may be Easter eggs anyway - but overall, this is a fine place to start.

@zaneplay64 Hm, okay. Well, that sounds kind of cool.

@shoeses I see, that's interesting. And a National Dex brings over Pokémon from other game entries?

@skolvuk But so are FireRed and LeafGreen?

@skolvuk So remakes of Gen1 does not make them Gen1? What are Ruby and Sapphire considered then? Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald = RSE?

@TitanSix Okay, so this opens them up for players to bring them into Home, I guess?

@AstroTheGamosian I thought Ho-Oh and Lugia were Gen2 Pokémon. Aren't FR/LG Gen1?

@shoeses Or let us play these games on NSO.

This is censorship! Let Game Freak give us the game they envisioned!!
Oops, sorry. Wrong comments section.

That feature where it suggests something else is funny though. And I agree. 'Dick' is a pretty common name in USA.

@Anti-Matter Oh my gosh, then yes! It sounds like that is the inspiration for this game. How exciting! Seems extra cool for you, too.

@Anti-Matter Oh, yes? What makes you say that? Would you say the starters fit with the region contextually? Do owls, Pomeranians, and geckos run amok?

Always fire, for me. Their character design and naming constructions are almost always on point.
Oh, but those are definitely lashes on Gecqua. There's even an "eyelash gecko" or more correctly, a crested gecko. They are found on an island in the south Pacific. Could that be the locale inspiration? Though the pom doesn't seem to work there.

@link3710 Right. It's a weird feature that they've now boxed themselves into. And I think we all suffer for it, honestly.

Those names are absurd.

Methinks we will be surfing in the game, via wind and waves.
