Re: Guide: Pokémon Sword And Shield Gen 8 New Pokémon List - Full Galar Pokédex Including Returning Pokémon

Well, if they really wanted to balance the battle system, they could just limit the pokemon available to use in each competition (like they already did before). With things the way they are now, as soon as the next game releases sword and shield will become obsolete for competitions or even casual battling between different versions.
They could even make different tiers (something like smogon) based off of the online usage statistics and have them be an option when battling online.

I was really looking forward to this game, but it seems, even with their A team, GF is using the same generic bootleg-like attack animations they've been doing in the past 3D pokemon games. And with the few information we have so far on the actual gameplay, I'm gonna jump on the "waiting for reviews" bandwagon before buying. The OST however is absolutely amazing, props to Toby Fox and Hitomi Sato for the arrangements.

Re: Pokémon Sword And Shield Will Soon Be Treated To A Mysterious 24-Hour Livestream

I think The Pokemon Company saw people asking for more info on SWSH on social media and decided to exaggerate juuuust a little bit with this stream (seriously, how many people are going to watch this whole thing?), but I guess it’s nice that they’re doing something different.
If only they could address the elephant in the room that is the national dex (showing that they care at least a little about their fans’ requests)... a post release patch wouldn’t kill nobody, you know.

So, they are going to show us the game development system that unfortunately, due to time constraints, failed to port existing assets to their most anticipated game ever (and, most outrageously, continues to fail by denying to release DLC half of their fan base desperately pleads for months)? Interesting timing, to say the least.
