I mean technically ZA is still in first place...

@fenlix I'm referring to developer's spending their time to make a quality port. Elden Ring wasn't quite in the state that they wanted the game yet which is why we haven't seen it release. I applaud that kind of time to make sure the experience is as good as possible.

@the_beaver At this point, all 3rd party titles should be coming to Switch 2. Both because it's an opportunity to capitalize on along with the Switch 2 being powerful enough.

@fenlix Ports are handled differently by different companies. Don't take a port that was handled by Ubisoft to be considered the "height" of what Switch 2 can handle. Elden Ring and Cyberpunk should be better examples.

Why is this considered an "impossible port" when the game is playable on Series S?

What’s the deal with the Special releases? Are they just timed or placeholders for when they permanently add the tracks/playlists?

They really need to roll out more music quicker. All new games should have playlists available on release day. They are still missing several titles released this year.

The Aegislash for Pokemon is probably the greatest yet...

@Tyranexx Battlefield has never sold as well as top performing Pokemon games. If digital was included, I assume Pokemon sold more than this Battlefield.

@swedetrap Don't worry about dying on that hill... it's a very crowded hill.

My favorite Pokemon game of all time. It's just a lot of fun.

I'm excited for the next quarterly report from Nintendo to learn about official numbers sold.

Excited this was #2 for the month while only being available for half of October and only including physical sales.

Also, a recent report came out that Switch 2 sold only 300k units in October in the US. Can someone explain to me how that makes any sense? That's such a low number and doesn't add up for sales figures leading into October (June through September).

I'm surprised Call of Duty sells that well in Japan.

@Solid_Python different company. But Saudi Arabia is pushing for it.

Please give us Trump and Daly as playable golfers in this!!

Also that trailer makes the game look like a PS2 game on Switch 2. Is the console that underpowered?

Omg there's day one DLC for this game?

@FaroreAbhorsen As much as I dislike SV, the DLC did a lot of heavy lifting story wise along with a couple new mechanics I won't spoil for endgame content. Definitely my favorite Pokemon DLC thus far.

Mega Dimension is probably going to clear that for me though... very excited for this.

@FoxyDude It's a RogueLike game mode. Bananza did the same thing for the same price (with arguably much less content than this).

Hoping they show off more of that "area" that seems new... assuming they show off two more Mega-evolutions. Hopefully they don't ruin the surprise of who the big baddy is in the DLC...

@LightSpirit The entire internet could hate Call of Duty... and it would still sell 30m copies overnight.

@Axecon Gen10 is definitely releasing between October-December of 2026 due to TPC's timeline for Pokemon cards. Good news is that there should be 12 months this time between the Legends game and the Gen10 game (unlike Arceus with SV). Gives them more time to polish/implement ideas from ZA.

Going to be a little frustrated if the new battle mechanics aren't in Gen10 along with the catching mechanics. With some mild polish and use of abilities and otherways to implement new strategy features, could be an absolute game changer for competitive moving forward.

@Pillowpants I get it... but you also don't get access to DK Island or Emerald Rush without the DLC so...

@beartown You had to be there. We really didn't have anything better to play until Super Mario World and Donkey Kong Country came along.

The best thing to note is, regardless of my opinion on the arbitrary rankings, Nintendo has a lot of really good games.

This list, as I noted on IGN, is all over the place.

Mother 3, Diddy Kong Racing, Goldeneye, Banjo-Kazooie, and Donkey Kong Country 2 should all be so much lower on this list.

Placing Mario Kart World well ahead of Diddy Kong Racing is absolutely absurd.

Also, placing Odyssey in the top 10 but having Bananza not break the top 20 is a choice.

Only a matter of time before Lego partners with Pokemon to release sets...

@OmnitronVariant If Nintendo has to keep updating the game after release, they shouldn't release it until the game is fully complete!! When will they stop with releasing unfinished games like Bananza and ZA? Way too much cut content.

@ShadLink You can't counter my point and then throw up exceptions. Keep you system offline for a couple days and tell me how many games you can play that you own. ZA doesn't even work and that game just came out.

@ShadLink All of my games on PC are physical releases as they should be.

@WheresWaveRace There are no "perks" with digital games. Ever.

@WheresWaveRace Don't tell me what to buy please. Pokemon is swill water at best and this game looks worse than ACNH and Palworld. And those games cost so much less than whatever this game is. And it has locked content to digital distributions and Amazon purchases.

@MamaSymphonia Because of Greedy Nintendo's virtual cards, you do have to "swap cards" just to play digital now too. If your system is offline for more than a day, you cannot play any games you "own".

@Alcea Right?! Boycott them all. Review bombing any and all Switch 2 games right now. Going back to Xbox for my physical games.

Omg and it's $90?!?!

Boycott Nintendo - do not spend a dime on their products this Holiday season.

And just like that this game is dead in the water. I will review bomb all Pokemon and Nintendo products going forward for this. Back to Xbox for me.

@Kingy The details around the development of this game are in the Tera leak last year. This DLC was not planned/developed at that time and was not "cut" out of the final base game.

@Rayquaza2510 Still vastly more content than what we got with the Bananza DLC. More megas, characters, Pokemon, story and a rogue like element. There also seems to be new areas not revealed yet too that were teased. TPC cooked with the SV DLC and this looks better already than at least part one of that package.

@shoeses It is a quest for free in the base game. We get the stone only as a gift. Seems like TPC will be adding free quests to the base game every so often.

@Sonicka Oof... that would be cooking. I still want them to add Real Time evolutions and trading too.

@HyruleWanderer Just like Arceus before it, if Gen10 is more like SV and not ZA, I will be a big sad panda once again. Hopefully at this point TPC has learned their lessons on which teams/outsourcing to use for their mainline Pokemon games going forward. They have cooked with their Legends games thus far. Stay on that path.

@Sonicka Yeah still seems that it's tied to its planned release schedule is all. ZA was clearly delayed and they finished up on the DLC fairly recently.

@Kingy If you like Arceus, I highly recommend it.

@Kingy Referring to SV I assume? While I agree, I wish the game was more like the DLC in that game. Had a great story that was washed out by terrible graphics and gameplay.

@Kingy Cheaper still than Scarlet & Violet. Over $100 for base game not including DLC. This at least is one version.
