Of course that Game Freak can (and should) make better pokémon, but you all fail to note one thing:
Pokémon Ethos is trading and battling. it makes little sense do think that pokémon is only a single player rpg. Pokémon is more a social game than a campaing game.
As a PvP player only, I do not have complaints about Scarlet and Violet. For me, what lacks is a mode to skip all campaing and let me start at the end game.
I don’t know if I’m being stupid but this sounds like it might be a good thing.
For me this is bad. Those AA games that I like - the middle that they said - is the ones that they do not want to make. They will be either indies (in the scope) or AAA.
AI and generative AI are two distinct things. Just like engines, we already can see a lot of people commenting without any knowledge about the tech in question. Sigh.
AI can be greatly used on enemies, for example. Trinagle Strategy enemies are dumb as doors and with machine learning, they can adapt with the player style of play.
Pokémon is a social experience. The ethos is to battle and trade with other people.
Because of that that I think is non-sense to compare with other series. Like, Cassete Beasts does not even have PvP and this is my greatest reason to play Pokémon.
Pokémon is too big to be considered just a "monster catching RPG".
Meh, you can practically breed the perfect Pokémon now anyways. It’s actually pretty simple.
True. And because of that that is so sad to see a lot of north-american players cheating and trying to justify using genned pokémon in official tournaments.

Re: Nintendo To Stop Repairing 2DS, New 3DS & 3DS XL In Japan
At least let us remap the L and R buttons into ZL and ZR, please.
I can not reset for shinies anymore because my R is busted. :/
Re: Critically-Acclaimed Visual Novel 'Mediterranea Inferno' Gets Trippy On Switch Next Month
Sorry but "Critically-Acclaimed" means absolutely nothing these days.
If a smal game need these type of terms, it is because it is not so good as they think the game is.
Re: Super Mario Maker 2 Updated To Version 3.0.3, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
It is alive.
One of my TOP 5 Switch games.
I just hope to see Mario Maker 3 on Switch 2, but please, change the producer. Tezuka does not know what he is doing.
Re: Switch Reportedly Less Than 1 Million Shy Of Being Japan's Best-Selling Console
Just more 2 years to be the best selling console ever worldwide.
Re: Talking Point: What's The Best Nintendo Remake Ever?
This is a difficult one.
HGSS are good remakes, but the base game sucks (Pokémon Gold is my least played pokémon and Heart Gold is the second least played).
Fire Emblem Echoes has good production values, but they dumbed down the game.
I will not even comment on the new art direction of Advance Wars remake...
So I will choose Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon. Good visual overhaul without changing the mechanics too much.
Re: Talking Point: As A Nintendo Fan, Do You Really Need To Play The Virtual Boy?
@dartmonkey
haha, glad you guys fixed quickly.
It seems that in english this is a common mistake.
In my mind, Tensei and Tensai have totally different pronunciations.
Re: Talking Point: As A Nintendo Fan, Do You Really Need To Play The Virtual Boy?
C'mon @NintendoLife. :/
Re: Random: Wait, Yesterday's Date Appears In The Super Smash Bros. Melee Manual?
This should be January. Usofans does not know how to write dates.
Re: Don't Expect A Remake Of Final Fantasy 6 Soon, If Ever
Final Fantasy VI does not need a remake, simple as that.
Re: Nintendo's Jump-Start To January Sale Kicks Off 2024 In Style With Up To 80% Off (US)
@HammerGalladeBro Meanwhile, Flip Wars is forever forgotten by... well, by everyone. Even Sushi Striker got some deals in the past.
Re: It's Official, 3DS And Wii U Online Play Ends 8th April 2024
@Stormcloudlive
I sold my Heart Gold, with the PokéWalker, 5 years ago for a price higher than the ones being sold today.
At least here, without the online, Pokémon games lose a bit of their value.
Re: Surprise! Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Is Getting Even More New Spirits
I still have more hours in ARMS than in Smash.
Smash needs fresh air. It is time to let Sakurai go.
Re: Pokémon's Former Chief Legal Officer "Surprised" Palworld Got This Far
He worked at The Pokémon Company International, the more lenient branch of The Pokémon Company.
Just remember that TPCi allows cheating and even cast known cheaters as commentators in the competitions.
Re: It's Official, 3DS And Wii U Online Play Ends 8th April 2024
Well, it is time to sell all my 3DS Pokémon games before they lose value.
Re: Metroid Prime 4 Development Updates Seemingly Discovered
This Metal Dave isn't that one that lose a bet because he said that Switch would be more powerful than the PS4?
Re: Peach's Voice Actor Confirms She Is Still The Princess In New Switch Game
Peach does not need voices. Neither Mario.
Re: Best Super Smash Bros. Games Of All Time
Only the first two are good.
For me, any Smash with non-Nintendo characters is an inferior game.
Also, Smash 3DS is better than Smash Wii U. Better controls and modes.
Re: Nintendo Switch Menu Mockups Found On Prototype Console
No.
The Switch home screen is perfect. We do not need anything else.
Re: Fire Emblem Engage Celebrates First Anniversary With 'Emblem Ring' Capsule Toy Line
Still playing.
The Fell Xenologue on Maddening is very fun.
Re: Yes, Nintendo Is Aware Of Palworld's Existence
I do not get it.
Why the developers and publishers of the biggest gaming franchise should answer anything about other game?!
Re: Soapbox: Game Freak Could Actually Learn A Thing Or Two From Palworld
Of course that Game Freak can (and should) make better pokémon, but you all fail to note one thing:
Pokémon Ethos is trading and battling. it makes little sense do think that pokémon is only a single player rpg. Pokémon is more a social game than a campaing game.
As a PvP player only, I do not have complaints about Scarlet and Violet. For me, what lacks is a mode to skip all campaing and let me start at the end game.
Re: Square Enix To Slim Down Its Gaming Lineup To Ensure Higher Quality
@Greatluigi
For me this is bad. Those AA games that I like - the middle that they said - is the ones that they do not want to make. They will be either indies (in the scope) or AAA.
This implies that we will not get FFTA3.
Re: Turn-Based Strategy Goes Medieval In 'Rising Lords', Marching Onto Switch This Month
Seems interesting for a western game.
I will give a chance.
Re: Feature: 25 Nintendo 64 Games We'd Love To See Added To The Switch Online Expansion Pack
ISS94 >>> ISS98
My most played N64 game.
Re: Site News: Nintendo Life Turns 18 Today
I came here from the old Wiiware site that was fused with it.
Re: Video: Mario vs. Donkey Kong Switch Shows Off New Worlds, Co-Op And More
We need online rankings.
Re: Mortal Kombat 1 Adds Another DLC Kameo Fighter Next Week
@DennisReynolds
Of course not. Each SF2 (and SSF2) were closed versions. You can very well fight everyone on those games.
Heck, even Smash is in this trend.
Re: Talking Point: What Will The 'Switch 2' Actually Be Called?
Switch 2.
Nonsense to think that "2 < 5" in this case.
Nintendo can not go wrong now. People needs to clearly know that this will be the next Switch.
Re: Round Up: Eastasiasoft Reveals 11 Switch Games In New Year Showcase
@Daniel36 It seems that USA people never puts an effort to learn how to correct pronounce "foreign" names.
This video was clearly narrated by a usofan person.
Re: Mortal Kombat 1 Adds Another DLC Kameo Fighter Next Week
I really dislike the fact that extra characters through DLC is a common practice now.
Re: Masahiro Sakurai Plans To "Wrap Up" His YouTube Channel This Year
@KayFiOS Bravely Default II is the 3rd in the series and Stella Glow is Luminous Arc V. Names does not make sense anymore.
Plus, of course that Meteos II would be a direct sequel, otherwise we (dozen of us) riot. haha.
Re: Masahiro Sakurai Plans To "Wrap Up" His YouTube Channel This Year
In the last video he will reveal Meteos 2
Re: Mini Review: Knights Of The Rogue Dungeon (Switch) - Shallow And Fun, Like Q*Bert
@PorridgeParlour
Does this game have difficult options? It seems more common today the press playing the game in the easy and following some type of guide.
Remember that IGN review where the reviewer got caught lying about finishing the game?
Anyway, reviews today do not make sense anymore, since they know that few will read, so they are all shallow and superficial nowadays, unfortunately.
Re: Square Enix To Be "Aggressive In Applying" AI Going Forwards
@VoidofLight
AI and generative AI are two distinct things. Just like engines, we already can see a lot of people commenting without any knowledge about the tech in question. Sigh.
Re: Square Enix To Be "Aggressive In Applying" AI Going Forwards
AI can be greatly used on enemies, for example. Trinagle Strategy enemies are dumb as doors and with machine learning, they can adapt with the player style of play.
This could be very good for strategy games.
Re: Soapbox: Cassette Beasts Is The Monster-Catching RPG For A Disillusioned Pokémon Fan
Pokémon is a social experience. The ethos is to battle and trade with other people.
Because of that that I think is non-sense to compare with other series. Like, Cassete Beasts does not even have PvP and this is my greatest reason to play Pokémon.
Pokémon is too big to be considered just a "monster catching RPG".

Re: Soapbox: 15 Years Ago, The Action Replay Ruined Pokémon For Me
@Zach777
True. And because of that that is so sad to see a lot of north-american players cheating and trying to justify using genned pokémon in official tournaments.
Re: Feature: A Visit To '84 Hashi', Tokyo's Secret Nintendo Staff Bar Now Open To You
@Cashews
I live in a capital in Brazil, with 2.5M inhabitants and this is not common at all. South América is too big and too different to generalize anything.
Perhaps things are different in Uruguay or Bolivia.
Re: Feature: A Visit To '84 Hashi', Tokyo's Secret Nintendo Staff Bar Now Open To You
It is not so secret anymore. Even a brazilian youtuber made a video inside the bar.
Re: Sega Reveals New Details For Shinobi, Jet Set Radio, Streets Of Rage Revivals
And here I am, waiting for The Lucky Dime Caper and Shining Force.
Re: Fighters From Smash Bros. For 3DS Were Leaked By Former NoA Employee's Child
This is way NoA sucks. This would - and never will - not happen with NCL.
Re: Super Mario Run Scores A Super Mario Bros. Wonder Event Update
@Maulbert
Super Mario Run is not an Endless runner. So it seems that you did not even play it.
Re: Poll: Rate Your Favourite Switch Games Of The Year 2023
Fire Emblem Engage for me.
It would be Advance Wars if it was a new game.
Still, I would choose Splatoon 3 this year too.
And the biggest disappointment was Atelier Ryza 3. 1 was great. 2 was ok. But this one... sigh.
Re: Spike Chunsoft's Annual Survey Wants To Know More About Your Gaming Interests
I just want that they release their games at my local eShop.
Re: Dementium: The Ward On Switch Receives Free HD Update
@AG_Awesome
Most games from this glorified rental store does not run on my operational system.
Also, if I can not download the installer and put the game on a computer without internet, what is the point?!
Re: New Pokémon Scarlet & Violet 7-Star Tera Raid Battle Event Revealed For This Weekend
@Drac_Mazoku
Yep, same.
I am releasing older legendaries and only keeping those that I legally catched or received via official means since Pokémon Emerald.
Re: New Pokémon Scarlet & Violet 7-Star Tera Raid Battle Event Revealed For This Weekend
@Bobb
Probably in 6 months.
Re: The Persona 5 Series Has Shifted Over 10 Million Copies Worldwide
Shin Megami Tensei lite.
I bought Persona 5 Royal, let us see if the game is fun.
