slowpoke_tail

I understand the qualms people have with some of the decisions made for these games. But I think if people are truly that upset, they should speak more with their wallets rather than their keyboards.

At the same time, the producer’s comment that future games will leave out some Pokémon makes me feel like they’re not open to feedback/constructive criticism at all. As a fan since the beginning, that’s discouraging.

@Manah Or eating Slowpoke tails.

I hate that so many of these neat-looking third-party controllers are wired. With how light the Switch is (even when docked), one wrong tug could send your console flying.

@Matthew010 Wynaut use Poké puns?

At least in the U.S., Walmart has had first-party Switch games at $50, so I'd rather do that than buy something that could expire due to my forgetfulness.

It almost looks more like a Wooper than a Squirtle, though that's hard to avoid with the Funko features.

Beautiful work, makes me want to go back and play LeafGreen. I'm loving how it looks like the Slowbro is waiting for a snack to fall out of the vending machine.

@Itzdmo
The amount of dialogue in AC games is insane, so I'm sure the localization process alone takes a lot of time to make sure everything is of quality.

@Citano
Is Sableye not based off an imp? I always thought it was for some reason.

Edit:
Ah, @ThatNyteDaez beat me to it haha

@Zidentia
Haha but wouldn't being binary limit it to two things? Maybe the non-binary dungeon, or, better yet, the non-conforming dungeon.

It'd be a bit ironic for them to work their employees into the ground while making a game that's all about leisure and relaxation. I'm glad they made the decision to delay the game; I'm sure we'll get better writing and gameplay because of it.

I believe the politically-correct term is dungeon of color. 😉

Lame joke aside, it’s great this dungeon is back—I’d have been disappointed if it didn’t make a return.

After the events of Mario Sunshine, you’d think Mario and company would learn not to vacation haha

I'd definitely need to see some actual gameplay before passing judgement, but hopefully this game will scratch that Kid Icarus itch I've had ever since beating Uprising all the way back in 2012.

Why does Milo look like a toddler’s face on a bodybuilder?

I'm loving the pigtails on Wooloo.

@MegaVel91 While the argument can certainly be made that they're "flat," I think Team Rocket actually makes a fair amount of sense compared to any of the other villainous teams in the franchise. They're just a gang that wants to profit using Pokemon, and if Pokemon were real, I don't doubt that such people would exist.

@Reigestugatensho All joking aside, I’d actually be stoked if Prof. E. Gadd made the cut. If they can make a legless character like Piranha Plant work, I feel like they could do something really fun and whimsical with E. Gadd! 😄

@ReaderRagfish Pink Gold Peach and Gooigi

@MH4 Agreed! My Jigglypuff amiibo isn’t compatible with hardly anything besides Smash, and I’d love a jiggly-villager.

I’m still using my launch-day aqua blue 3DS, so this news is a bit disappointing.

The ice cubes in my Joy-Cons must’ve melted, because I’ve not yet played a game that seemed to take advantage of the HD rumble feature. Glad this game is using it, though!

@123akis I definitely agree that the second player looks awful, but adding Mario would cause a pretty huge plot hole!

Personally, I wish they’d just have added in a regular-looking Luigi with a different colored hat. Or even Daisy would’ve been neat, and it’d give her something to be in that’s not a sports game.

The award system is a creative solution to the problem, but I feel games that don’t get the “recommended” or “essential” labels will be viewed the same way that a 7/10 or below score gets treated in the minds of many readers.

I can definitely vouch for the realistic nature of this game—my parents own a goose (fondly referred to as their guard goose) who likes to chase my dog and me when I visit.

@Andrew5678 I'd be a little disappointed if they didn't give Springtron his shockwave move, since it's pretty much the only thing that sets him apart from Spring Man. But I think making him heavier, slower, and more defensive than Spring Man would still work pretty well.

While I’m desperately wanting some ARMS representation (think of the echo fighter possibilities!), I kind of hope they take it easy with the DLC this time around. Hoping Spring Man gets announced soon!

@molliolli182 @setezerocinco
Both good explanations--thank you! I clicked around on manufacturer's website, and they actually offer a few explanations: "Why wired? No batteries or charging to manage, reduced lag times while playing, and nearly half the cost of wireless! Plus, our cables detach for storage/display or if someone happens to trip." The tripping part seems a bit far-fetched; the Switch is really light, so I feel like it'd still go flying if someone tripped on the cord.

These controllers seem to be getting a lot of hate, but I may buy one as a spare for when I have friends over. The price is good, they look unique, and I'd rather not shell out $60+ for a nice controller if it won't get used often.

I'm sure this question has an obvious answer, but could anyone tell me why the cord is removable? It doesn't have wireless capabilities, right?

I feel like this is probably the result of a non-gamer making a gaming-related product 😅

I love Kanto as much as the next 90s kid, but there are already so many Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charmander plushies available. But it’s good to see some more obscure Pokémon represented here—I may cave and get a Corsola!

@Alikan thanks, good to know! I’ll definitely have to try it out

I got my Switch about a month ago, and I discover a highly-praised game I’ve never heard of each time I come to this site—if only my time and money were infinite 😆

It's interesting that all of the Pokémon in this trailer were first seen in Kanto/Johto, with the exception of Zeraora at the very end. Makes me wonder if Fura City is in/near the Johto region?

@Kalmaro Or he got a glimpse under a Mimikyu's disguise. Gen 7 confirmed for GO?

With all the dancing that's shown in the video, I'll be extremely disappointed if Mirror B doesn't make a cameo with a Ludicolo or two.

@Serebii The website does mention that pokémon who are spawned through the use of lures/incense will not appear on their map, so perhaps that explains the inconsistencies?

I've seen a lot of businesses use this strategy around town . My own boss applied to make our store a pokéstop (which I was ecstatic about).

The ghost looks like the result of a Pikachu getting dropped off at the Day Care with a Shuppet.

It could be a new 7th gen Pokémon. That would be cool way to reveal it.

Robotnik makes much more sense because he's always creating different villain robots. I always assumed Sonic and his friends came up with Eggman as a way of making fun of him.

Such a great game. I hope future 3d Mario games go back to having large overworlds to explore like 64 and Sunshine. Linear approaches are fine for 2d platformers, but I like feeling like I'm actually in the Mario universe.

This article sums up what I've thought for years. Gen 4 is when I got really into the competitive battling scene, and that carried on into gen 5. However, I quickly realized I didn't feel fully engaged in the Unova region because I was so focused on stats for competitive battling. I made it a goal to not do that in X/Y, which is apparent because I always use a Dedenne in my Kalos adventures.

I can't believe I wasted my time watching that. They literally just spewed off a bunch of fun facts that were mostly common knowledge. And the jokes were mostly cringeworthy.

@Dakt I've thought the same for ages. 😅

"It all comes together in an all new adventure." Hopefully that means this will be a multi-region game!

The world looks great, but I can't see myself feeling any type of attachment to that main character. It just seems a little generic, but I'll probably give the game a try.

I never did get around to playing the sequels. I don't hate gen V, but very few of the pokémon designs appeal to me. I'll have to pick up a copy of Black 2 or White 2.

I like Sceptile, but I wish two of the three starters in the game weren't third gen pokémon. It just feels unbalanced to me.

Jiggs is my main in Smash, so I'd be thrilled!
