Here we go again... It doesn't really matter what anyone sees when they look at the officially named legendary beasts...
The original designer, Muneo Saitō, has always said in multiple interviews that they are directly inspired by large felines, even specifying they are jungle cats, (even though Lions are not Jungle cats, they are referred to as "Kings of the Jungle")
Raikou is inspired by Tigers, Entei is inspired by Lions, and Suicune is inspired by Leopards & Panthers. This isn't up for debate and the games never refer to them as Dogs, only Guidebooks unaffiliated with Nintendo would refer to them as such, hence the spread of this mis-information.
So yeah, they are INSPIRED by cats, but they aren't actually cats or dogs. Officially, they are simply Beasts.
I have to at least ask... Did you run into any Shiny Pokemon during your time with the game? I've been genuinely curious if they exist in this game or not.
Not really super surprised by these results. Most are good Pokémon overall, but not the most viable online.
From the list above, my vote is for Mimikyu for its excellent ability that allows it to set-up a free Swords Dance. It has great typing and a good move pool to take advantage of an Adamant or Jolly build. Great beginner friendly Pokémon overall.
I am excited for this release but I am concerned about it releasing on Nintendo Switch hardware only a year before the Pokémon franchise jumps onto Nintendo Switch 2 exclusively.
This should be the game with the best visuals, framerate and high resolution models with varied animations for all Pokémon as it will be on stage with people competing for prize pools and live-streamed to hundreds of thousands of people. This game will be in the spotlight and represent competitive Pokémon for probably the next 10+ years of the franchise.
So the fact that it will have to accommodate Nintendo Switch means it will look dated at launch, with Generation 10 Pokémon specifically looking worse in this than their debut games. Hopefully they have a plan for that in place.
I think everyone needs to keep in mind that Pokémon is a multimedia franchise and not exclusively a gaming franchise. There's going to be announcements about Pokémon World Championships, tons of merchandise, Trading Card Game products, mobile games and app updates, the several ongoing TV shows / Anime series / Movies, music artists collaborating with the 30th anniversary, updates to already released or confirmed games, the new PokePark Kanto that just opened in Japan...
It's a Pokémon celebration / presentation, not a video game presentation. Stuff that genuine fans of the entire franchise are anticipating. I don't think this event is for general Nintendo fans. I'd recommend just watching the video game trailers after the presentation if interested in the games exclusively.
All of that said, the 25 minute runtime and the early announcement of FireRed & LeafGreen + Pokopia Treehouse Live happening beforehand makes me think we'll still get one or two surprises thrown in there. Likely our first look at the Generation 10 games.
I'll probably skip this one as I don't really feel like I need any more information on these titles and already have Pokopia pre-ordered and also intend on grabbing Super Mario Bros. Wonder - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meet-up In Bellabel Park (hate these titles guys!) physically later this year.
@Phelaidar I feel this comment, lol. But no, people have valid criticisms of what is on offer here. And believe me, I'm sick of seeing it as much as the next Pokémon fan, but I can't really fault them for it. Everyone wants things a certain way and if they don't get it, the knee-jerk reaction is always just: complain on the internet!
It helps them vent their frustrations. I usually choose to either not engage, or hit that ignore button if their point is somehow not really valid as they aren't typically people I could have a proper conversation with anyway. 😅
I'll be getting both to play with my wife sometime later this year. Simply too much to play at the moment though and no way I can fit in something I'll likely spend a few hundred hours in until I clear out some of this schedule.
I will definitely fit it in later this year though!
This is more of a fun pick than competitively viable. Still Bellibolt is a largely slept on Pokémon that packs a lot of power after setting up. It has a great stat spread of HP & Special Attack and the ability Electromorphosis ensures that it can take advantage of its low speed stat by doubling the power of its next electric type attack when attacked.
Having access to moves like Thunder, Discharge, Muddy Water and some utility moves, it's a great playthrough Pokémon that can also throw off some people in Ranked Battles!
I like to pair it up with Pelipper and Excadrill or Garchomp myself to set up Rain Dance for 100% accurate Thunder and have Ground types immune to Discharge for no risk hit to both opponents in Double Battles!
One of my favorite Trick Room setters as it has the ability Magic Bounce, so it cannot be interrupted by moves like Taunt! Has a good Special Attack stat and a low Speed stat allowing her to take full advantage of the Trick Room it set up!
If they already announced Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, then there must be a substantial amount of news to share since I'd consider these re-releases a really big deal of themselves.
Pokémon Champions is guaranteed to show up, and honestly is likely launching no later than next month. They are using it for their major VGC competitions this year, so it needs to launch soon for competitors to prepare. I am honestly scared at how much time I'm going to sink into this one!
At minimum, I'd also expect Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness to release soon, if not right after the presentation. But I'm expecting them in March. I don't think they will spread them out. Ready to play these for the first time ever!
Of course there will be other media announcements and mobile game updates to blast through as well. Nothing major, just typical updates to keep up engagement.
Then finally, we'll get our first glimpse at Generation 10 running on Nintendo Switch 2 hardware. I really, REALLY hope these games run well, but regardless, they'll be $79.99 each and will be riddled with controversy because that's just the state of the industry right now. I just ignore/block all of that out. 😅
EDIT: Oh yeah, we'll probably get one final story trailer for Pokémon Pokopia as well for sure. I'm not sure pre-order numbers are quite where they want them to be for this game sadly.
I was dreading this one! Gen 7 had some of the best additions to competitive Pokémon, but I think Mimikyu is great on any team and is by far the easiest to utilize.
Mimikyu's ability Diguise, allows it to get hit once without taking damage, giving it so much versitility that it's hard to ignore. You can do a lot with that much freedom, the most common being an almost unthreatened Swords Dance. Ghost / Fairy is also great typing! Shadow Claw / Shadow Sneak & Play Rough are all this Pokémon needs to pressure most opponents.
I find this exciting news, just absolutely not picking these up on Day 1. Not sure how many are in this boat, but my gaming schedule is FULL, and there is NO world where I'm playing these on Resident Evil Requiem's release day.
I am excited to see what's coming! FireRed and Leaf green are pretty good appetizers. Kind of surprised they didn't just hold on to it as a shadow drop, but whatever!
This Pokémon was so good in Gen 6. Being able to pivot between offense and defense lead to so many possibilities in battle. Having a low Speed stat would ensure it could take hits in it's Shield Form before punishing in its Blade Form during the same turn. It really put pressure on the opponent!
It doesn't have my favorite move pool, but what he does have specifically works for it, but does also give a fair amount of predictability if you've faced them many times before. Still, its a really fun Pokémon to play around with and form a team around!
This line is my personal favorite competitive starter and overall pick for Gen 5. Serperior has a great stat spread and an even better hidden ability: Contrary. This ability lets all stat debuffs count as buffs instead. This means, its STAB move Leaf Storm which is already over 130 Base Power, also boosts your Special Attack by 2 stages instead of lowering it. This is effectively a free Nasty Plot every single time it can attacks, with absolutely no drawbacks.
It has access to Giga Drain for offensive healing, Dragon Pulse for additional coverage and can even get heavy damage with Hidden Power (Fire). I would often times pair it with Drought Mega Charizard Y, Ninetales or Torkoal to boost that Fire damage even more. It's one of my favorites to play when I can!
I'm in love with it. I kind of wish there was some kind of career mode instead of an Adventure mode. But overall it is the best Mario sports title out and I'll probably have a few hundred hours into it over the years between local and online multiplayer which is the real reason I wanted it.
Competitive matches are just as fun as Super Smash Bros. Ultimate to me.
By far the best early game bird Pokémon. Not only are its stats well allocated, but it also gets access to both Brave Bird & Close Combat. Couple that with the ability Intimidate to lower your opponent's offense when sent out and you have a great pivot Pokémon in quite a few situations.
Wingull / Pelipper for sure here. The Drizzle ability is great and combine that with Tailwind and give him a Focus Sash, and you've got a strong set-up Pokémon allowing Water type attacks to hit harder and 100% Accurate Thunder and a speed boost to give the rest of your team the momentum they need to sweep!
I shared a different memory in the contact form, but thought I'd share something else here.
I remember just the act of getting Pokémon Blue Version being so exciting when I was a kid. It had been out a little while before I had heard about it at school.
One day, I just asked my mom if I could get it, and she said yes. This... never happened. Ever. We went to the mall, entered Electronics Boutique, grabbed my copy of Blue Version then went to the food court for a slice of pizza and a soda. Looking back, it was such a mundane Saturday, but I was having the best day of my life then. It wasn't going to get any better than this!
On the way home, I opened the box in the car and saw that it didn't have an Instruction Manual... It had a Trainer's Guide and it looked like a notebook someone left for me to help me on an adventure I didn't even know I was about to embark on... 30 years later, I'm still adventuring.
Just crazy how attached to something a person can get over the years. After losing my father too soon a few years ago, I've been clinging to this franchise harder than ever. No matter how poor the quality each entry seems right now, the child in me is always happy to pick my starter and start on my next journey, creating new memories with my wife, playing Pokémon together.
I'll have to play these games at some point, but I don't have super high expectations that it will be for me. Me and indie games just don't seem to get along too well for some un-explainable reason.
Monster Hunter Wilds for me was a fun visit, but I didn't stay very long. Just long enough to get through the bare minimum of the High Rank content before the updates started rolling out, but I just wanted to go back to Monster Hunter Rise by that time.
Something about Monster Hunter World and Wilds just doesn't quite do it for me.
I'm not usually like this with game runtimes... and I'm excited to play this with my wife, but the run time is just a tad too short for the $39.99 price tag.
I might wait and see if we can grab it at a small discount. Maybe around $29.99, I'll jump in.
I've already pre-ordered two copies with the Ditto plushies from the Pokémon Center website, so I am good! Hope this game turns out to be a really good spin-off for the series. They've been pushing mobile games lately, so its exciting when one is a console exclusive!
I guess I'll be the devil's advocate and say that I'm happy the single player is short so I can get through it and get into online matches that much faster!
My wife has been addicted to Code Vein II. She can't put it down, and has been racing to finish everything we need to do after work to get back to playing it!
I'm definitely looking forward to this game but might be a "wait and see" title. I'm much more invested in The Adventures of Elliot when it releases in June.
I'm all for updating their back catalog of original Switch games for both of their markets. I really like replaying the games I own so to have some new content to do is always welcome.

Re: PSA: Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen Switch Version Apparently Fixes Legendary Beast Glitch
Here we go again... It doesn't really matter what anyone sees when they look at the officially named legendary beasts...

Re: Review: Pokémon Pokopia (Switch 2) - One Of The Most Enticing Pokémon Games Ever
Hey Alana,
I have to at least ask... Did you run into any Shiny Pokemon during your time with the game? I've been genuinely curious if they exist in this game or not.
Great review!
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Pokémon Pokopia
I did not have "Highest Rated game in Pokémon's entire franchise history" on my bingo card, that's for sure!
Super excited to jump into this later this week!
Re: Quiz: Can You Name That Pokémon?
24 out of 25. Question 24 got me, as for whatever reason, their silhouettes / names get all jumbled up in my head.
Re: Final: What's Your Favourite Pokémon Ever? - Pick From Our 9 Poll Winners

Greninja is an honorable mention on this list.

Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite 3DS Model?
I have the original Nintendo 3DS and a New Nintendo 3DS XL, but I'm partial to the Aqua Blue Nintendo 3DS design.
Something about the original design just looks much more premium than later iterations in my opinion.

Re: UK Charts: Mario Tennis Fever Gets Lobbed By Old Favourites
Happy to still see it in the Top 10 for sure, seems to still be doing really well!

Hatenna / Hattrem / Hatterene
One of my favorite Trick Room setters as it has the ability Magic Bounce, so it cannot be interrupted by moves like Taunt! Has a good Special Attack stat and a low Speed stat allowing her to take full advantage of the Trick Room it set up!
Works insanely well with G-Max Snorlax!

9 out of 10!
Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite Gen 4 Pokémon?
Starly / Staravia / Staraptor here.
By far the best early game bird Pokémon. Not only are its stats well allocated, but it also gets access to both Brave Bird & Close Combat. Couple that with the ability Intimidate to lower your opponent's offense when sent out and you have a great pivot Pokémon in quite a few situations.

Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite Gen 2 Pokémon?
Absolutely the Chikorita line, but specifically Chikorita! My favorite Pokémon of all time!
Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite Gen 1 Pokémon?
