@Rhaoulos I don't think bringing farming and marriage mechanics to BOTW is a good idea by any means.

@MasterGraveheart I don't think that's anything to panic about. It'll probably be more like Street Fighter Anniversary Collection where online just becomes a new feature to the games.

I'd rather have Detective Pikachu than any of these Pokémon anime movies.

@TheHumbleFellow Incineroar is an awful choice that should've never left the concept art stage. And I know I'm not alone in holding that belief.

Decidueye and Primarina would've been received better overall by the fanbase.

It'd be even better for them to convince Game Freak to bring back all Pokémon--how awful it is that they're not able to work their project with every Pokémon.

@chiptoon Why not? Maybe those who agree with you can answer as well.

We have a lot of upset Smogonites here.

@-Juice- "Smog on vans certain things in order to make the meta more strategic and less chance based."

The battle system is already heavily luck-based as it is, why not ban all luck-based moves if that's what they're aiming for? The critics were right, Smogon is very illogical at times with their approach.

@RandomNerds Profit or not, it's still infringing on Nintendo's intellectual properties and the company is right to take action against unauthorized products. Dew is right. It's a double standard to agree with Nintendo when it comes to counterfeit products yet justify certain fan games on the basis of monetary motivation or the lack of it.

@jobvd You seem salty about RDR's reception.

@Yosher That's not the game's fault.

Move over Stardew Valley, and watch a real farming sim do its job.

@Floof_Cat Don't make a fool of yourself, the animation studio cut corners in the animation change. It also doesn't change the fact that even with Ash's win they still intend to keep him forever so as they make the Pokémon anime first and foremost an advertisement for the latest gen games before a proper TV show.

Can we just let the anime just end already?

@1UP_MARIO Games that were released in a span of 13 years. Try harder.

This list shows how badly Capcom screwed up with Street Fighter in recent days. Street Fighter V was very disappointing at launch and Ultra Street Fighter II was way too much money for what was essentially a port of a 10-year-old game.

It's also a pretty embarrassing mistake to use a screenshot from a bad anime.

@BionicDodo Being made for children is not a valid excuse for a subpar product, and never will. Lose the argument.

@Prof_Yoshtonics What a pawn.

@Big-Pepsi Such an ironic comment you have, sir.

@Samwise7 It's a double standard to believe that, Samwise7.

I don't get you guys.

There are Street Fighter characters who would work well for Mortal Kombat, like Akuma and M. Bison. It would not be out of character for them to perform something like the Raging Demon or Psycho Crusher as a fatality move.

It's hard to believe that just a few years ago Atelier was nearly PlayStation-exclusive for two decades. It's amazing to see Gust and Koei Tecmo give the Switch good support from the start.

Good on Gust for their work on this game and good on the Switch for getting this game.

@OorWullie Why did you hate the game?

@earthinheritor On the contrary, it's fair to price new games at $40 for the 3DS and $60 for the Switch.

M&L: BIS remake's failure had nothing to do with it's price.

@Spudtendo We're not gonna be pawns, unlike you. Don't give money to those who don't deserve it!

"Changing Up" the battle formula actually might've made justification for the lack of a National Dex if it were well executed. As it stands though, Game Freak doesn't have excuses for that debacle...

@StevenG You should try asking that to the millions of FIFA buyers.

It's such a shame that consumers rejected the straightforward, honest pricing model of Mario Run and accepted the horrid gacha mechanics from the likes of Fire Emblem Warriors. It's this very reason that led to hard cashgrabs like Pokémon Masters and Mario Kart Tour--people allowed this to happen.

Wow, talk about the double standards from the people who say this isn't review bombing.

Here's the definition of review bombing, per Wikipedia: "A review bomb is an Internet phenomenon in which large groups of people leave negative user reviews online in an attempt to harm the sales and/or popularity of a product, particularly to draw attention to an issue with the product or its vendor."

FIFA 20 on Switch was clearly review bombed, whether you think the game deserved it or not.

@playstation_king You really shouldn't come up with excuses to the big problems the Pokémon anime has.

That, and The Simpsons and Family Guy are shows that need to end just like Pokémon (Adventure Time has already ended I believe).

@AtlanteanMan And if the game doesn't sell, that might be the end of Contra, at least for a very long time. A real shame...

@Agramonte What's the difference between the PS and Switch's third-party support?

@Savino DON'T encourage them..

@Likethepear What does you being from Canada have to do with you finding things unappealing?

Love Plus, anyone?

• Yes, the Pokémon anime is used to sell the games and other products. But no, that does not excuse it from being a piece a crap. Being a quality show while desiring to sell products are not mutually exclusive. But the Pokémon anime doesn't seem to get that.
• If Pokémon is never going to end, then they shouldn't have given it the direction it did. Ash is explicitly stated to have a goal, it should be expected that they work with that, yet they're not. The other shows, AFAIK, do not seek to mislead their audience into thinking their protagonists are getting somewhere.
• If the premise of the show is to have Ash go on a journey to become a Pokémon Master, and the writers have no intention of doing that, instead wanting the show to run forever, then they need to be called out for it. Bad writing and direction should not be enjoyed nor rewarded.
• I have not watched the anime since the awful X/Y ending, but I will continue to criticize the hacks that run the show.

I seriously hope that today's announcement is actually going to end Ash's cycle of failure. But the cynic in me thinks this will be a spinoff series akin to Origins and Generations.

@Angelic_Lapras_King How about they actually make Ash win a league and end his cycle of failure? This is where X/Y failed and how it was ruined by the ending. So far Sun/Moon have no sign of fixing the problem.

Ash losing another league is not exactly a special announcement.

I have a big feeling this game will be nothing but a huge cashgrab for The Pokémon Company.

@Cotillion People like you were the reason why neither Zelda got in. How does that feel that the games got enough negative scores to prevent it from being in the Top 50?

@Joker13z So do you want Nintendo to up their charge to $60/year, stream all their games and add microtransactions/lootboxes to them? They're the future after all!

Can I get a scholarship for being incredibly good at Hungry Hungry Hippos?

@diablo2 Plenty of third-party games did just fine on the Wii. If that weren't the case, it would've been like the Wii U.

@diablo2 Actually, plenty of third-party games did quite well on the Wii, it certainly didn't leave a bad taste to developers. I'm sorry, but your post was quite nonsensical.

It seems that the Switch of all platforms will be the first Nintendo platform to lack a Madden game altogether. Madden NFL had been on every Nintendo platform starting with the SNES.

Truly an unprecedented relationship.

@Minfinity The anime has no value and the card game can wait. Just write a bunch of filler and make new cards of past Pokémon. Certainly it's doable.

@Silly_G "The cheaper 3DS games will contain more content than the first home console main series Pokémon game..."

That already happened.

Why are Shantae supporters so desperate?

@ThomasS So you want Nintendo to raise the online price to $60 and do only GaaS available through streaming? If that's the case, I say it's best that they stay behind.

@companyoflosers Pokémon movies never had good animation. They're low budget compared to something a studio like Studio Ghibli offers..

@KyleHyde They're never going to end the Pokémon anime, it's too much of a commercial for the games and merchandise for TPC.
