Saro

I enjoy all the seasons and I feel the Alucard events of Season 3 are a set up for character development for the next season for him. Haven't played the games, but curious. Was Alucard antagonistic towards Richter at first in the games?

That's a relief to hear! I was originally saddened when I read this, but hearing about it being a typo just reignited my excitement.

@Incarna I see. The American version of Deal or No Deal actually has an arcade game based off of it. One of those ones that involves tickets.

@scamander I'm not surprised. There's many game shows that have been based on ones from other nations.

@Incarna there's a game show in America that involves contestants, who are selected from the on location audience, guessing about the prices of various products in different minigames like tic-tac-toe or blackjack with twists to them, to win money and prizes. Called "The Price is Right" and it's practically one of the longest running daytime game shows, as it's been going strong since the 1970's. Drew Carry eventually took over as host for the show since the original one retired.

@Gahdrii hackers. There's no Zeraora event.

@Rayquaza2510 It depends on things. Some raids are of fully evolved Pokemon with a item based evolution like Rhyperior, so these raids let's you catch them without using the item. Perfect for filling the dex without trading much.

BTW, the reward items for these new raids are Boiled Eggs for curry, the six power items (Power Weight, Lens, etc.) Destiny Knot, Everstone, and the Lucky Egg. All the baby Pokemon and Ditto yield these.

Been hearing that the game was pulled due to data mining malware found in the game. Right now it's just word of mouth, but I'm trying to find evidence of this being the case.

Can't this game just die already?! Blades is solely pay-to-win with how heavily monatized it is based on the mobile version, and there's plenty of better games that are worth a PENNY that you can get more enjoyment out of. Don't get Bethesda'ed.

Love they're sticking to legacy with Sega Shirou, with both characters and actors alike.

Just when I thought we finally gotten over the bad video game movie curse, this reminded me this movie exists.

EVIL MONKEY! Just wait for that meme

Satisfied that Charizard isn't in the top 3 and my favorite, Rayquaza, is on the list.

I'm wary of possible implications based on some features Home has that people are overlooking. Isn't it weird we have a Judge function for Home? I'd say wait for now for premium until one hears confirmation of being able to get EVERYONE in SwSh and the serious glitches are dealt with.

Lesson here: ignore ANY reviews. Either unreliable, review bombed or are paid off to make it sound good. They're not worth your time anymore.

Krypton is SO going to want an explanation for this. Karma?

Here's another catch besides Totems not being allowed. Any Hyper Training you did is reset when you transfer from Gen 7.

@playstation_king there's 35 old Pokemon allowed in that aren't part of the Galar dex. Serebii has a list of which ones

@Ralizah they have a judge feature in Home, so there's a chance they axe that too in future games to force the Competitive players who don't transfer to get Home

I played Persona 5 on the PS4 and the Japanese demo for Scramble for the Switch. P5 Royal would be just fine on the Switch based on how jaw dropping Scramble looks. I didn't really see a quality drop. If any, it'd probably be during combat, but didn't really notice it.

@tendonerd Yep. FE games are not horrible shovelware, but they're not that great. They're pretty much a nice little way to break the tedium if you want to play something different from the other games you normally do. I don't feel like they're a waste of money as I did really enjoy the Sparkle series.

@Snivy102 wasn't implying anything. I'm an outsider to the fighting game community, but I swore I heard about that chanting happening in Evo. I have a bad impression about Melee players due to local players being elitists about it, and all they focus is Fox and Falco. Sorry for any confusion, and unintentional disrespect.

From what is said, expect another FE character, while Travis Touchdown of No More Heroes and Rex from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 have an increased chance of joining as they use swords...

@Snivy102 during Evo 2017 I heard there were demanding chants in the crowd of "Melee." repeatedly while Ultimate was going on. That's pretty rude, and gives Melee's fanbase a toxic appearance. If we have that kind of behavior, it's not a good idea to bring Melee back if that happens again.

And no offense, it's pretty much just Fox or Falco for competitive Melee. That's pretty quick to tire watching everyone using the same two characters.

@Sully5246 You aware what happened when they WERE? That's not a good idea.

Let's see... Not very likely, but maybe by chance Drakengard 4? That 4 seems kinda similar to what's used for 3.

Sakurai fulfilled Iwata's request and is going above and beyond with it. Even though he would not do that, Sakurai freaking deserves to retire with all that he's done. At least let him do a different project that isn't Smash.

@cmk8 Just stick with the free version to be safe. It'll not be as problematic.

Okay... $5 year for existing Bank subscription for the 3DS+ $16 Home Premium +$30 DLC x2 + $60 Pokemon games x 4 (LET'S GO and SwSh)+$20 NSO subscription = too much for a completionist who wants a complete National Dex for Gen 8... I didn't bother with the math but that is EASILY Over $300, not counting the cost of the systems. Not attacking, but this is very disappointing.

Edit: did the math for transferring from Bank to getting Home
Even with just one version of SwSh and skipping Let's Go. That is STILL over $100...

Let's not forget that Temtem is ONLY 50%done at this point. So there's still a lot of room for improvement.

@Reigestugatensho Can you create hybrid Pokemon like a Charmander-Bagon hybrid that is a unique species that aren't found in the wild? you fail to understand where I'm coming at here. I'm just talking to a rock at this point, so it's pointless to explain any further. I'd say play Temtem but you'd do some excuse like the price, it's an MMO, or stick to that naive belief that Temtem is a carbon copy.

Watch some let's plays.

@Reigestugatensho Temtem actually has done things unique that Pokemon doesn't do. For example, they really have it where attacks can upgrade in various ways, like in priority if the partner is of a certain type, the two Temtem perform a special combo attack together that isn't one of their regular moves, buff each other if they can, evolve midbattle and have it where breeding can allow you to have true crossbreeding. Some of these things wouldn't be in a Pokemon game due to being too complex for children, the target demographic for Pokemon. Temtem was created with adults in mind, and has diversity enough to not be called a clone. It's got similarities that leads one to think it's a clone, but one shouldn't dismiss Temtem without looking at the fine details first.

@Reigestugatensho it's either they want the MMO aspect, or have an actual challenge in the Pokemon games without doing Nuzlocke. You can't deny SwSh is the easiest with the always on Exp. Share, and the Exp Candy where you can get a Lv100 Pokemon easy before the first gym with them.

Pokemon NEEDS Temtem to succeed for them. Why? It'll help push Pokemon to improve. If I recall, Temtem only has 50% of the planned content for now, and people are saying it's already better than Sword and Shield.

From gameplay that is ACTUALLY challenging, to the flexibility of playing solo or with friends, I'm hoping this ends well for both, with Pokemon having a strong rival that pushes it to truely innovate while learning a few things from Temtem, while the new IP becomes the strong rival that is needed for healthy competition.

We joked about the final character of the first fighters pass being a Fire Emblem character and it actually happened! I feel we brought that upon ourselves...

Let's hope we get NO FE in the second pass.

Saw some gameplay, and it has an enemy that behaves exactly like a Guardian from BotW, just looks different.

Feel they're going to show off Home, which leads into mentioning about the 35 Non Galar Dex Pokemon allowed in, claiming you're allowed to bring in more than the Dex, even mentioning Gigantimax Melmetal. After that, officially revealing Detective Pikachu 2, and announcing a Switch port of the original. Finally, more info on Pokemon Sleep.

May not be in that order, but those feel like the likely announcements.

Xenoblade X feels the most deserving. The Wii U squandered on the potential for Multiplayer that it tried doing.if they take time to actually make it proper with co-op. It would be gorgeous.

Seriously... Guess the lack of info about Pokemon Home is not a concern. Pretty much at this point. Love the National Dex= Everyone says Screw you.

@johnvboy scroll up to 8:30AM to read my post. It's too long to list them all off again.

@jowe_gw EXACTLY my point there!

Dexit killed my initial hype, but I accepted it and regained some excitement, untill the leaks destroyed what was there completely. I also feared Dynamaxing would be just as broken as Megas before for competitive, and I was right, considering Smogon's stance on it. The amount of Pokemon cut feels too steep, especially with how unpolished and barebones the games are. There's not really anything that really justifies all this, and if one thinks about it, the QoL changes for natures and breeding were practically done just so the Gigantimaxing Pokemon can become viable with breeding mechanics and Nature mints. Emphasis on a one Gen gimmick guaranteed to be gone in the next. On top of the lying and the fact the games crash randomly for people- Oh yeah, WHAT CAN WE DO IN POKEMON HOME BESIDES TRANSFERRING AND TRADING?! Anyone able to answer that in detail? I want to support Pokemon, but I won't support Game Freak anymore. I'm going to Digimon and Temtem.

Seriously. TELL US ABOUT POKEMON HOME ALREADY!!!

There doesn't seem to be a case, but kudos to Suda 51 to allow free publicly for his game and Envato.

Lesson we must take from this: DO NOT PRE-ORDER POKEMON EVER AGAIN untill we learn Game Freak learned their lesson and actually deliver what's promised.

Outer Worlds and The Witcher 3 proved Bethesda's games are trash now, no offense Skyrim and Fallout fans. Blades just feels like subpar shovelware from what I hear of it. And that's being generous.

SOMEONE NEEDS TO INTERVENE!!! THAT MAN NEEDS A VACATION!!!

@dacangri12 No problem, happy to help out.

@dacangri12 I'm going to Digimon, which embraced it's longtime fanbase by making their games darker. Play Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth, and look up Digimon Survive, that is basically Digimon as a Fire Emblem game and it's said choices in cut scenes can potentially lead to character deaths.

I'm going to drop off the fanbase. At the rate of things, I just keep getting more and more disappointed that everyone didn't stick to their guns, and those who did became disgustingly toxic. I had hoped to hear news of changes in Game Freak's stance about possible Dex expansion through updates, or get new info regarding Home. Not saying that I wanted to have the whole Dex in the game, but I can't support a series that's now just becoming even more barebones each year, even if they're still fun. Yokai Watch and Digimon added some who were missing through updates.

I'm not going to rage, I'm not going to defend. I'm done...

Is it too much to ask for new info on Pokemon Home now?!
