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.
If I had to guess, they've already implemented the soft price increase of $30 by simply removing bundled software.
So, if I had to go based off of their increases on accessories and original Nintendo Switch models already, and assuming they did this to off-set the cost pre-emptively... I'd say the price increase would put it at $499.99 USD with no games bundled in, so effectively a $50 increase. Of course this could change depending on market conditions, and they probably REALLY don't want to do a second price increase so they are currently observing for the next fiscal year.
If you want a Nintendo Switch 2 at its cheapest possible price point, you should probably snag one in the next few months, because that price increase IS coming, and it's probably coming before the holiday season starts.
It's a shame to see this, but not entirely unexpected. I don't think there was a reality where Metroid Prime 4: Beyond would be a successful venture for Nintendo given its troubled development. Hopefully it will be a slow burn and people will pick it up over time. I'm nearing the end of my first playthrough now, and it's been an overall wonderful experience on Switch 2 from start to finish.
I do think the rising costs of literally everything else, has played a big roll, and Nintendo might also be facing the "wait until I can afford a Switch 2" mentality of people before buying and playing the game. People are simply having to be frugal with their money right now.
Age of Imprisonment, I haven't purchased yet myself, and I was the target audience, lol. I love these games, but I have to be in a certain mood to dive into a game like this. I'll be a +1 to the sales in due time though.
Nothing here for me this week! Just going to continue playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition & Metroid Prime 4: Beyond - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition this weekend.
With a splash of co-op with the wife in Kirby and the Forgotten Land - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World.
Well... that's rather silly. I feel like the people that are going to make gross content out of this game, will find a way to put it on the internet regardless. Just... make it easy for the rest of us to upload so we can drown it out.
I'm really hoping the $99.99 USD headset remains available for a while. I would love to grab it day one but there are simply too many games coming out in February for Nintendo Switch 2 and PlayStation 5 to justify purchasing this right away.
Really excited to jump into these as soon as I can though! I've missed Teleroboxer and Virtual Boy: Wario Land so much!
I will be excited to play any iteration of Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. I just want to play it for the first time!
Pikmin 2 is also neat, but as others have said, it's already available physically and digitally with more controller options natively to the Nintendo Switch, so I'll stick to playing that version in the future regardless.
@PinderSchloss It looks like this, because Game Freak outsourced their new concept to "various partner studios," as quoted from VGC articles with interviews from the studio.
Granted, I won't completely dismiss your statement either. It's certainly suspicious, but I'd rather wait for the game to come out and see the internal files from data miners to confirm that suspicion before starting a negative narrative involving AI usage.
That said, this game doesn't look optimized well at all. The resolution is awful and fuzzy, almost like trying to run Xenoblade Chronicles 2 in handheld mode, and the frame rate is ALL over the place. Some of these concepts look cool though, but I'm afraid its going to unfortunately release in a rather poor state, as Game Freak typically does, since they have deadlines to meet with their always moving Pokémon franchise and they have proven that they will simply never delay a game to make them better.
...and the sad thing about all of this is... I love the Pokémon franchise and ultra positive about almost everything involving the gaming industry... but I'm just this cynical about this studio, lol.
I'm going for the full physical release on Nintendo Switch 2!
I love the multiplayer component of Super Mario Bros. Wonder so much more than I thought I would and to have SO much more of it is exactly what I wanted!

Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite Gen 7 Pokémon?
Mimikyu
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.
Re: Pokémon FireRed And LeafGreen Officially Revealed For Switch
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.

Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite Gen 5 Pokémon?
Snivy / Servine / Serperior
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!

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Mario Tennis Fever?

Competitive matches are just as fun as Super Smash Bros. Ultimate to me.
9 out of 10!

Starly / Staravia / Staraptor here.
