i remember a reply on twitter to narvaez's reaction saying "imagine being a kid who doesn't know who queen elizabeth was and then being told that the character you just met is dead"
"The official Pokémon website says that "you will need to have begun your Treasure Hunt in Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet", which essentially means you need to get to the school. This takes roughly about three hours of gameplay unless you get very sidetracked in the open world of Paldea." the beginning of the game is such a slog and so slow that it takes three hours??? it gets worse every game
@Dev9417 people will obviously know, but the point is that it denies them from going to that area because the balloons could explode any second and any stray shots towards them could cause that as well
ok, i understood the last few raid events (even if i hate that gamefreak is favoring the most overrated pokemon) but these are pokemon that you can just get in the game normally- the last few were unable to normally be encountered in raids. like, sure, they have perfect stats, but you can do that with any pokemon now
@UmbreonsPapa yeah i was about to say that they managed 700+ on a 3DS, plus its not like pokemon are hard to code in for a multi-billion dollar company
as a massive pokémon nerd, i have a huge passion for the series and i wish i could see every pokémon in one game and catch them all WITHOUT an unstable subscription service (yes, even volbeat and the rest of the forgettable ones)
@Octane i mean i'm fine with them not all being technically catchable or having a national pokédex, but i feel like they should all be transferable into the game at least
@Fizza i'm sure you could build some calculator-like contraption with the item physics that files your taxes (now we just wait for somebody to make one)
@BenAV the reason most people dislike wahoo world is because one of the two entrances to mid is on-and-off every 30 seconds its annoying for ranked modes and such
my main problem with the fact that you don't technically choose a gender in this game is that even if youre non-binary and choose an appearance that you think looks the most like you, the game will still just use either she/her or he/him pronouns depending on how masculine or feminine you look, defeating the entire purpose of genderless options (also i'm 90% sure that you cant change your "gender" after picking it at the beginning of the game just like past installments did, so that sucks) i appreciate how in splatoon 3 the game will go out of its way to use gender-neutral pronouns and terms for the player, c'mon gamefreak it's 2022, representation and inclusivity matters
i never understood these; they just give strong pokemon away for free with no apparent reason i wish it was like older games when they hosted events where you could actually visit new areas to get the pokemom

Re: TMNT: Shredder's Revenge, LEGO Star Wars & More Crowned TIME's 'Best Video Games Of 2022'
noooo where is splatoon 3 my beloved
Re: Feature: 30 Changes We'd Like To See In The Next Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Update
my main problem with the fact that you don't technically choose a gender in this game is that even if youre non-binary and choose an appearance that you think looks the most like you, the game will still just use either she/her or he/him pronouns depending on how masculine or feminine you look, defeating the entire purpose of genderless options (also i'm 90% sure that you cant change your "gender" after picking it at the beginning of the game just like past installments did, so that sucks)
i appreciate how in splatoon 3 the game will go out of its way to use gender-neutral pronouns and terms for the player, c'mon gamefreak it's 2022, representation and inclusivity matters
