@Yorumi I am definitely no supporting these games. They seem mediocre at best, but what I'm saying is he can't spam the comments saying the review was paid for. I've seen him do it at least three times now. It's just not productive.
@PKBegley An opinion is always biased. It's an opinion. I was worried about these games, but that doesn't make Alex a shill because he gave it an 8. It just means he liked it enough to forgive some of the issues he had as mentioned in the review.
@Jooles_95 To play Devil's Advocate, these are JRPGs though so one would usually expect them to be longer than those examples especially since Pokémon is turn-based.
@JellyPop That's how a lot of the reviews are. I don't know if the charm of Pokémon does that to people or not. I will just by Christmas and see how I feel. The games seem good, but I still don't like the PR practices of the developers.
@YourGoodFriendly Even if it turned out good which wasn't my concern. I'm not sure 15 hours to complete is good for $60 JRPG on a home console anymore.
@Justifier I hope. It seems like the developers tried, but the leaks suggest the game was rushed. The datamining suggests somethings were left in the code that maybe they didn't have time to finish. Nintendo and Creatures need to step in if Game Freak is really this pressed to release these games on time.
@glaemay most of the game's I play are from Nintendo and other Japanese publishers. You can see that I rarely comment on articles about Western games. Lol Nobody is organizing a hit on Nintendo. The games leaked like they do every year and this time the game has far more bugs than past entries. Nobody wants to kill Nintendo or Pokémon. I almost feel like your attacks are personal. I had a childhood with few friends and escaped into Pokémon games. Nobody can question my love for this franchise or Nintendo products that I have played for nearly two decades.
@glaemay How am I, a user of this site for nearly a decade, paid by another company to not like these games? You sound like Alex Jones right now with your conspiracy theories.
@Bolt_Strike To be fair Banjo is arguably more obscure he has had fewer games on older systems and nobody outside a couple of markets really recognize him.
@WoolooSweater Generalization doesn't help. Most fans who are upset aren't harassing them. You are only contributing to the toxic discourse by poisoning the well.
@Xylnox People are stuck paying for a storage service to keep their Pokémon because they can't be transferred back and they can't sent forward. That's the biggest complaint right now.
@GetShulked I personally haven't seen death threats myself. Not that they don't exist. It's just some people use the rumors to lump people into a group.
@WoolooSweater He liked tweets calling the people on Reddit who are upset a certain expletive. He was being a jerk and took it too far. He deserves to be held accountable like anyone else who goes too far online.
Its not even her breasts, but her thighs I believe. CERO doesn't like anything that exposes thighs and this can cause the ratings to spike. If Sakurai covered Mai up or used her Fatal Fury 2 I'm sure some people would cry censorship so I am not sure he could've done anything about this. It sucks because I actually like Mai in Fatal Fury and King of Fighters. She's pretty fun to play as.
Glorious coming from Ice Cream man who had none of his creations cut and doesn't have to pay for a subscription to keep his Pokémon that can't be transferred. Have to make sure to protect them or Nintendolife might not get those heavily embargoed review copies they don't want us to know more about until they already got our money.
@MajinSoul Except many of these people do love Pokémon. I grew up playing it since the original. I had all the merchandise as a kid and I have kept playing every game up until now. I'm still disappointed the way Game Freak is handling these games and I have every right too. You can love something and not be a zombie and take everything not give up and walk away easily.
Part of their problem is keeping such a small staff for such a large franchise. The Pokemon team is simply too small for a series of its caliber and its finally catching up. They either need longer breaks between games or they need to restructure their development teams to meet the demand. Morale is reportedly low and the way Game Freak has kept quiet in regards to things like Pokemon total and after game while rejecting the idea of dlc or patches suggest that they are swamped on their current schedule. I hope if not for fans at least they will do something to make the lives of their staff members a little easier.
@Xansies I think the problem is the price and the way Game Freak shot down ideas of patching games to add content post release to lengthen the game's life span.
I remember his stupid Fortnite in class video that was staged and the detention sequel. Even five year olds could tell it was fake and I am pretty sure it wasn't a sketch because it wasn't funny.
@PickledKong64 They don't always. They actually got heat for not covering the Grinch Leak when they knew it was fake. I think a lot of their is more recurring gags like with the Falcon silhouette. Their fans actually complained when they left it out of a thumbnail. I personally always found channels like Switch Force more brazen.

Re: Review: Pokémon Sword And Shield - A Solid Start To Gen 8 On Switch, Despite The Hate
In regards to the power levels in the Wild area, that contradicts some of the leaks. Is it possible that the initial leaker didn't have a final copy?

@Sabruka Room for improvent does like a 7 unless it was rounded up to 8. I thought 8 would be great while 7 is good.

@NandN3ds Until it freezes up on you because the coding is so bad. There is footage of the game chugging.
Re: Video: Pokémon Sword And Shield Brings The Hype With New 'Epic Battle' Commercial
@Ooccoo_Jr Where are the advance animations though? The games are locked at 30 FPS and still crawl with bad pop-in. Apparently trainers disappear when there are too many particle effects on screen. Generic backgrounds are used for battles if they are indoors or outdoors.
