All of these make sense but this says a lot about Pokémon. The fact that its worst selling game is critically acclaimed and the only reason it’s on this list is because of the fact that it hasn’t had the time? That’s impressive for the franchise.
Absolutely will not be purchasing for the reasons alluded to in the pinned comment, but want to say I really appreciate Nintendo Life’s handling of the subject. I wish those looking forward to the game a great time with the title. ❤️
@SmaggTheSmug Truth to this for sure. I fall into one of the categories I listed for full disclosure, but I’m also someone who definitely wishes for a live and let live world.
How hard is it to behave like a mature grown adult? Racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ageism, ableism, and every other “-obia” and “-ism” are stupid things to bring to work. Be nice to people, don’t crunch developers into depression, and treat people with dignity. This isn’t rocket science.
@Half-ShellHero Not sure where you’re getting that. I mean some of the actors are political progressives, sure, but this seems like a big parody animation movie more than anything. I don’t see where anything in that trailer is meant to be serious enough to make that assessment. Tbh when someone slaps the “woke” label in their judgement of something in a derogatory manner it feels like a big red flag.
@Browny It is. I love GamePass on my Series X and PC. I wish I could take it to go on my Switch but alas. Steam Deck isn’t quite my thing considering the size, price, and lack of availability. Mostly the size.
For me the beauty of the game varied depending on which display I used. On my 4K TV it was alright. Beautiful on my old 1080p LCD in my bedroom. Looked like ass on my high refresh rate ultra wide curved gaming monitor. Beautiful on my portable Asus 1080p display.
I just don’t know how Nintendo is going to effectively manage a new hardware transition with chip shortages and supply chain woes. That’s got me worried that crazy changes are in the pipeline, especially as third parties are in Microsoft’s and Sony’s crosshairs.
@mereel Someone like me who also grew up with the game and has beaten it multiple times that would love to play again with upgraded textures, higher frame rate, different mods, etc.
Not sure if Spotify is the answer since they are being burned to the ground right now, but Nintendo should absolutely put their music on streaming services.
Honestly? Microsoft doesn’t have to buy Nintendo for them to enter into some major partnership in the future. I could see them collaborating on hardware and software without going that far.
@QueenKittenWrite 100%. I’ll still be vocal about some of their practices, but not with the false assumption that Nintendo will read my tweets and say “Well by golly gosh, are we jerks?”
This is why I was a “Wii60” player back then. I eventually got a PS3, but between Xbox 360 and Wii I was plenty happy. That trend has stayed true to this day with my Wii U, Xbox One, and now Switch and Series X.
Microsoft has been rather kind to the Switch with little to no reciprocation from Nintendo. Also, we know this title won’t be able to run on Switch anyway.
Yeah absolutely never send something through the mail to be appraised. As a former insurance industry veteran, I can’t tell you how many times these specific items just “get lost”.

@Diogmites I know. It doesn’t take much to be nice, but I guess it doesn’t take much to act like a jerk either.

I dunno. I feel like it’s taking a chance to mock how ridiculous some animation and reboot trends have been. I’m open to it.

Re: Talking Point: How Does Microsoft's Purchase Of Activision Blizzard Impact Nintendo?
This will hit Sony where it hurts but Nintendo will likely find little change considering the relationship between the two Redmond titans.
Re: Microsoft And Activision Will Continue To Support "A Variety Of Platforms" Despite Acquisition
I see them continuing with Nintendo considering the relationship between Redmond’s two giants, but I’m sure PlayStation support will slowly fizzle.
