@Bobb @RupeeClock All returning Pokémon have been leaked (through data mine of the base game), so we know the Primal Reversions are coming back as well as what other legendaries are returning.
Ummm…you guys do know the entire DLC Pokémon roster has already been datamined…? As well as all the new Mega evolutions introduced in the DLC. This information wasn’t even part of the Teraleak, the data was found in the base game’s files through data mining, which ironically means that it wasn’t obtained illegally like information from the Teraleak. It feels ridiculous and performative to pretend we don’t know what’s coming when we already do for a fact. Through the data we’ve known since the game’s release that Primal Groudon and Kyogre were coming back in it…
@Dr_Lugae You’re right. To be honest, it’s been a while since I played a Digimon game so I completely forgot how many palette swaps there were/are. The Yo-Kai Watch games on the 3DS, if anyone remembers them (?), had a similar problem, though not as bad as Digimon (off topic but Yo-kai Watch 3 is still a masterpiece though and the series is still criminally underrated imo). I do respect the fact that Game Freak has been committed to never adding palette swaps or minor redesigns to pad out the Pokédex numbers (except for maybe some of the less exciting Paradox Pokemon (like Scream Tail or many of the future ones), or like…Silicoon and Cascoon.)
I did somehow forget about Mega Evolutions for a sec there, but at least in MY opinion they aren’t fully the same since they’re only temporary forms and transform back after the battle and don’t have their own Pokédex number and especially because you can’t, like, see them and “collect” them in your PC box (even though you can of course collect the mega stones themselves). But it is true that that does actually fairly strongly increase the actual model count in the game. Thanks for pointing that out.
Also, off topic, apologies if this counts as a spoiler for someone or for you, but the game only has 230 TOTAL Pokémon in it, which is something I found out before I even played the game for the first time when coverage of the game started dropping on Wednesday on Serebii. (This doesn’t count Mega Evolutions, of course, which does lessen the impact of that slightly.) This really did break my heart, as it’s actually ~13 LESS Pokémon than Arceus. Part of that is my own fault, though, since I thought that because this game is a sequel to Arcues, and the fact that X and Y still to this day have the biggest single Regional dex in the entire series (with over 450 Pokémon not including National Dex/post-game Pokémon), I thought this game would have a TON of Pokémon in it, like 400 or 500. I clearly set my expectations way too high in that regard. The game has kind of had an uphill battle in my own head after finding that out. That being said, the game has over 100 side quests, which is a LOT (certainly way more than ScarVi’s ZERO) but I don’t know how much of them are actually quality. I guess I will have to see for myself, since it is and always has been my plan to 100% the game since that’s what I like doing. As I said, I do genuinely hope to see the good in this game!
Thanks for having a discussion for me too, you’re very civil and respectful which is definitely a rarity on the Internet and I wanted to say I appreciate that.
@iLikeUrAttitude Thanks for the advice, bro. You’re right lmao. I REALLY hope Time Stranger gets a Switch 2 port as I prefer playing on handhelds now and don’t have a Steam Deck yet. Though that game seems to have its own issues too from the many reviews I’ve read on it. But it still looks better and wayyy more ambitious than the Switch Pokémon games though. After all, ZA only has 230 Pokémon (an ABYSMAL number), while Time Stranger has almost double that despite the fact it’s going to sell a fraction of the copies. I also LOVED Digimon Cyber Sleuth on the PS4 as a teenager.
About TPC: That is what Google says, because that seems to be the common consensus among fans, but I don’t think it’s remotely true. We don’t really have much of any “primary source” documentation on this whole thing, especially in regards to the last decade of Pokémon, so this whole discussion seems to be lead by “trust me, bro” internet dweebs whose primary goal is to absolve their precious, innocent Nintendo of any wrongdoing. Despite that fact that what we DO know about the TPC from corporate/legal filings seems to show how much power Nintendo really does have over this franchise, with what I talked about in my original comment.
@Jeronan I‘m glad you’re having such a positive experience with the game. The context for my original comment was my frustration in how slow and unfun the game’s opening proved to be. I felt the same way with SWSH, PLA, and ScarVi, and I ended up really liking the first two despite their many flaws. I’m continuing to play the game, of course, and I hope you get proven right with how much better and fleshed out the game gets over time. Every time I notice the game’s flat balcony textures glued on to many of the buildings, I get this horrible “THIS is it?!?!” feeling in my stomach that makes me worry the game’s many vocal critics are right. I do hope to see something truly good in this game as I continue playing. (I do hear the story gets really good, though, so that has me at least a little optimistic.) Despite everything, I do love Pokémon.
@Anti-Matter That’s fun! Glad you found some way to make the game interesting! I wish you luck in achieving full left brain right brain symmetry. You will truly be unstoppable.
@Dee123 Nintendo owns the ENTIRE the Pokémon franchise legally (in terms of trademarks, etc.) and 33% of the Pokémon Company. Maybe even more in practice since the final third is owned by Creatures Inc. which is almost a non-entity compared to Nintendo and Game Freak, and it was also created by Nintendo/GF at the same time they created TPCI. That’s a lot more than “no say.” These are some of the first-party biggest games the Switch, and some of the biggest (in terms of sales) games in general. Nintendo is absolutely invested in the continued success of Pokémon and holds more say in the final product’s quality than people give them credit for.
@Anti-Matter I respect the balls it takes to be the only fan on the entire god damn Earth of Everybody 1-2 Switch. That and the fact you only play the game single player is fascinating. Your brain deserves to be studied.
@Jeronan The game got very good reviews from critics actually. It’s sitting near an 80 on Metacritic and like someone else said that’s higher than the recent Digimon game. The intense negative reception is coming from the players and fans themselves. Game-journalist hate not actually based on the very real problems the industry has is getting very tiring.
Also, you can’t really be upset that people who are forming opinions only played the main story or even only part of the game. Most gamers, both children and adult, DO really only play the main story and a fraction of the side content, so if the game’s main story experience is disappointing that is absolutely the game’s fault and not the players. Shouldn’t the main story be the most important part of a game anyway? It’s where most of the budget goes, after all.
Also, first impressions do matter and I reject the opinion that you need to finish a game in order to form an opinion on it. Things would be different if you’re a professional critic, but again they actually received the game pretty well so that’s not the problem. This game has an atrociously long, aggressively railroaded tutorial, just like every other modern Switch Pokémon game, and that’s creates an extremely negative first impression. That is absolutely Game Freak’s fault, they should know better than that by now considering how much of a blowback they received for this exact same thing in SWSH and ScarVi.
Finally, the map isn’t “so called” small, it is objectively small. You can run the TOTAL circumference of the map in less than 7 minutes. That is objectively small, and unfortunately it’s not as densely packed as you claim it to be. You can barely enter ANY buildings that aren’t part of the main story. To be fair, I agree with you that ScarVi’s map was too barren, boring and empty and it is an improvement over that. I also believe that it, and the game as a whole, are also not nearly as bad as the internet claims, but I do feel like people have a right to be disappointed with the final product and GF/Nintendo should have seen this abysmal response coming.
@RupeeClock Those Tears of the Kingdom news articles freebies were all stuff like general consumables and weapons that you could get in many other ways just by playing the game. As of now, there are no other ways to get these items if you don’t play in the week they launch. Very disappointed in Nintendo for this, at least they’re just two nearly worthless cosmetic statues and not anything actually interesting or meaningful. That may change in the future, though. Nintendo has just become so greedy and manipulative the past few years, they could do with some humbling.
Not a fan of this FOMO bull crap straight out of a mobile game. At least the prizes are almost worthless but as a completionist who doesn’t have this game yet because I’m not made of money this is very disappointing.
Also, Ryujinx isn’t a ROM site. It was a site to download the Switch emulator Ryujinx, but contained NO actually ILLEGAL content. Emulation isn’t inherently illegal, despite what Nintendo tries to claim, it only becomes illegal if you use ROMs that you didn’t dump yourself using legitimately purchased games, or use the private, personalized Switch “keys” to make the emulator function that again, you didn’t dump yourself and downloaded online instead (which, to be far, most users of emulation do do these illegal things, but that IS different from being inherently illegal). The Ryujinx website contained neither of these illegal items. Unlike Yuzu, the creator of Ryujinx was very careful not to do anything that actually breaks the law, which is why, unlike Yuzu, the website and its corresponding resources never got DMCA’d and the creator never got sued for millions of dollars by Nintendo—he never broke any laws. Instead, Nintendo simply offered the creator of Ryujinx a presumably large sum of money to sell Nintendo the website domain (which of course they promptly destroyed all functionality for) and to cease all development on the emulator completely. That is obviously a very different from being sued—instead of them having to pay Nintendo money for breaking the law, Nintendo ended up paying HIM money.
The Switch piracy drama, and the larger homebrew scene, is very interesting to observe. Unfortunately, practically every mainstream outlet gets information about it wrong and perpetuates falsehoods, likely because their authors don’t actually know that much about the scene beyond what they find on other mainstream outlets…
The article contains some significant misinformation, unsurpsingly.
First of all, Switch 2 piracy is not a thing. The Switch 2 would need to have an emulator and/or custom firmware to be developed for it for piracy to be possible at all, and for that it needs to be “cracked”, i.e. Nintendo’s built-in firmware and hardware security protocols need to be circumvented to physically allow the console to do anything Nintendo doesn’t want you to do. The Switch 2 has exceptional security on both of these fronts, so it will likely be years before the Switch 2 is hacked, if it is at all, and even longer than that for emulators and CFW and other software features that actually enable piracy to be developed.
More importantly though, it’s important to note that the story that Switch consoles are being BRICKED by Nintendo for being hacked or even buying legitimate, legal second-hand games is ENTIRELY FALSE. There is not a SINGLE confirmed instance of Nintendo bricking any Switch or Switch 2 console. They put that wording into their User Agreement specifically to scare people away from hacking or modding, it does not mean they actually have the physical or even legal ability to do that. What they can do is ban your console to prevent it from access any of Nintendo’s online services (like the eShop, Nintendo Account settings, online play, etc.) but that is very different than a console being bricked, which means it becomes completely unusable. Dedicated people in the community have torn their Switch and Switch 2s apart, scanned all the chips and motherboards and put it all back together and their consoles are still working perfectly fine. False stories circulated online of people saying their console got bricked for doing this or that, but crucially they never provide any actual evidence of their “bricked by Nintendo” consoles. This is the Internet—anyone can say anything. It doesn’t mean it’s real or true.
I would KILL for HD remasters of all three of the Fire Emblem 3DS games. Yes—even Fates. While the story and characters are abysmal, the gameplay is some of the best in the series and still hasn’t been topped in some ways. Plus, having all three campaigns and all the DLC in a single game would result in a MASSIVE game with hundreds of hours of content.
@Narrator1 Damn I had no idea about either of those...
Though I am absolutely NOT defending Nintendo’s actions, I think it’s virtually impossible to find a corporation that isn’t vehemently anti-consumer in any sector of our economy, especially video games.
you have to wonder what the writers were even thinking putting this joke in the movie even if China wasn’t its biggest market or it wasn’t going to air in China in the first place. Like...what is the benefit? And the idiots who are saying this joke adds “realism”...like. Its Monster Hunter. You’re not watching it for the realism.
@nessisonett You got censored for words literally in the article too lolllll
They also censored the dude who for some reason bought up Biden/Harris, as his comment originally had a line about Biden “having a thing for children.” Like...what
Edit: though maybe the Biden/Harris guy needs to be censored by the Marxist overlords who run the government/internet/Nintendo Life every once in a while. To you know...build some humility and feel comfortable with his own silence.
He had bad stuff—he deserves far longer than 3 years. I don’t like how the title of the article implies the prison sentence was exclusively for the hacking and not, you know, the far, far more worrying crime.
Edit: Why did someone edit my comment removing the two words describing what he was caught with and replacing it with “bad stuff” when it literally says those exact two words in the article?
@BenAV Far enough—I don’t want to manually sort my Switch games either. I would love it if you could automagically sort games into “folders” based on categories like series or genre using an algorithm so I can see all my RPGs in one folder or all my Pokémon games in another. So your home menu is always convenient and evolving with little effort on your part so you always have easy access for a game to play for your current mood and stuff like that. idk...at this point i’m just rambling but you did raise a fair point about the nightmare that was/is my 3DS home screen..
@BenAV As someone with dozens upon dozens of switch games, my switch home screen is a disorganized mess as even the organization options they give you when you view all your software titles are woefully inadequate and completely moot in the first place. Folders are something a EVERY UI should have in the 21st century and the fact that THIS is more important than providing a seamless and functional UI in the first place is embarrassing on Nintendo’s part. Hell, it took nearly FOUR years for you to be able to prioritize a software download and that is one of the most basic QoL features you could have!
