Grew up the NA version and it still looks cool with zero in a dynamic pose just wished it wasn't cropped so awkwardly. The Japanese version gets my vote for showing not just zero but also Omega ( the big dude on the right) giving you a subtle hint about the story.
@SillyG that would make sense. I think the Pokémon company would rather make a dedicated make a dedicated app for the mainline series. Annoying? Sure! But it would be convenient.
Kind of wierd especially because the dx version exists but I'll take it. That said I can't say for certain why we haven't seen the mainline pokemon games yet. Maybe compatability issues with home?
35 years man I remember my Gameboy color and my first two Gameboy games were Pokemon red, and Super mario bros. Deluxe. Now if you excuse me I'll get my cane.
Like others have said I liked both games, though for a lot of tha sames reasons 3h for it's story ( can't say I care about the crimson flower route).And engage for it's focus on gameplay.
@iNintendo I wouldn't waste your breath he only likes a specific kind of game that he matches his specific taste and if It dosen't fit the criteria then it's awful According to him.
I enjoyed symphona on the game cube but have avoided it on switch. The game is still good I just fail to see how Bandai namco could screw it up this bad.
It depends on the game I only use save states for games that save via password, or if I need to run an urgent errand so afterwards I get back to the action quickly. As far as rewind I just play the game without them the first time and then on repeat playthroughs all bets are off.
That's great news! It deserves this success. It shows why they ported it in the first place. Not to start an argument but i feel deluxe is the definitive way to play mk8. Now with the booster course pass and an actual battle mode. My only concern is because of how well this game has done the next entry is going to have some big shoes to fill.
@Fangleman32 that's a plausible theory but unfortunately their efforts to rebrand sonic has mostly been in vain. I'm not saying this out of animosity but through experience seeing each rebrand attempt crashing and horribly collapsing in on itself. I think it's more so Sega doesn't have a clue where to take this franchise or what direction to go because each gimmick shows for one (two if your lucky) games and then switch to something else the next. Latley it seems like they are clinging to the past.
Looks like I'm gonna have to grind out some herba mystica and ( especially for alolan raichu and beldum) and hopefully get a shiny gimighoul this time.
Losing sucks I get it. Especially if your having a really bad losing streak, moments like that call for one to just put down the controller and step away for a little bit. You know go for a walk, read a book, heck see a movie ( not that there's anything good on right now) instead of flying into a childish rage and threatening lives.
It all comes down to brand appeal Metroid prime while a fantastic game I'd even argue a masterpiece. It's still not as popular as Mario, Zelda, DK, etc. That being said I do wish the price was lower.
Characters like Samus and captain falcon could use more brand recognition. However I would rather it be anyone other than epic, or Disney lets keep their greasy tentacles away thank you!
all I can say is this is such a stupid take from ubisoft. Though not surprising, Ubisoft in my eyes wasn't like the other AAA studios and was closer to the village idiot rather than a studio that was ruthlessly trying to Nicole and dime it's already existing user base with justifications that were as flimsy as cardboard.
@Anti-Matter yeah I think your overestimating the general appeal of something like nexomon. I just looked at the games steam page and I don't know how else to tell you but from my observation it look's like it's going to copy S/V. I mean imitation is the sincerest for of flattery but going by the series history on the eshop, It'll probably release at full price and maybe not even weeks later go on sale for almost bargain bin prices like the first two games.
While it wouldn't be against remakes of pokemon xd and Pokemon Colosseum unfortunately one big hurdle is the Pokemon company. After all they really have the say so on what's being done with Pokemon, I mean there are plenty examples, from the pokemon amiibos seeing almost no use outside of Smash Bros.or the fact that the Pokemon games aren't on any of the Game Boy online apps which is weird because Pokemon is a Nintendo franchise not directly owned by Nintendo but still it's mostly a Nintendo franchise at this point.
@-wc- it was called item bagging in short some players would purposefully drive in reverse or stop at the item box's to pull strong items in order to gain an advantage.
@Anti-Matter I know we butted heads in the past but in this case I agree it would be wild and definitely Very Nintendo of them if the next console was a 3ds successor than a switch one.
Outside of the ribbon and the cherish ball there isn't anything special about this mimikyu. Besides why would you teach it thunder bolt any way it's a physical attacker. Man these event just got lame over the years Remember when we got mythical Pokémon? Like in 2015 when they gave away a different Mythical Pokémon a Month
@Savage_Joe I guess I should've been a little more specific in mentioning for handhelds. While pokemon colluseum did have a story it was more of a battle simulator with a story attached. Gale of darkness however was more of an earnest attempt to make a console pokemon game though it also has it's own problems.
At the time pokemon X and Y were ground breaking showing everyone what a 3d pokemon game looks like and while ground breaking for the time it wasn't perfect. For one thing It was really apparent that gamefreak had no experience with 3D models outside of special set pieces, or even cutscenes. And unfortunately it still plagues them today.
I think it's going to be awhile before we hear talks of a new console after how well the switch is preforming. And that's fine why fix what isn't broken.
@Anti-Matter your hearts in the right place but like others have said epic is bigger then just fortnite, they also have the unreal engine which is an engine that 90% (just a shot in the dark) of developers use. I hope those affected land on their feet.
This looks sick! Can't wait to try those new levels and they gave everyone there own dedicated movest too?! You know what they say they saved the best for last.
It's good to see something positive for pokemon sc/vi for once, I mean yeah the bugs are there even though I personally never encountered any of them myself ( outside of the framerate). Also congratulations to Sonic Frontiers really enjoyed that title as well and looking forward to the last update.
@ Antimatter Then maybe stick with rachet and clank then because mario isn't going to change anytime soon. The MK8 deluxe booster course pass isn't what I would call a live service you pay for the pass ( or be an NSO member) and you get the extra courses come back when they introduce a battle pass or something.
@Anti-Matter then how about just play those games then. I Don't think a change in voice actor necessitates a change in gameplay direction. Let mario be mario and overly smarmy cinematic games be overly smarmy cinematic games.
@Anti-Matter I understand that you in massive (as large you can imagine) quotation marks Wasn't attached to charles Martinet but the majority of us were. Also let's keep the movie separate from the games all because Chris worked for Mario in the movie dose'nt mean it'll work in the games.
I love Pokemon but the art style of the kids clash with the overall design of the Pokemon. Couldn't they have stuck with a similar style for the humans? 🤔 And by that I mean match the official art style.
I remember the simpler days of buying packs and hoping to pull my favorite cards and it was quite fun. Now all everyone in the hobby only cares about making money. Thanks Logan 😡
@HeadPirate you know I feel like even if you put up some good points no one's going to read them because they just hate the Pokemon company. And well they do have reason to, I mean Pokemon unite ,Pokemon TCG live, and various other mobile games with egregious micro transactions though not going to pretend like there wasn't micro transactions in their other free to play games on 3DS Pokemon picross anyone? Heck I'll probably just get a response because I'm not blindly throwing hatred at the Pokemon company even if it is a little deserved for their past actions.
I have to respectfully disagree with Mr. Glick as a competitive Pokemon player myself I think Mega Evolutions and Z moves are the way to go. I mean the argument that Megas only made certain Pokemon viable can easily be used for Dynamax. I mean after all certain Pokemon get access to gigantamaxing which also causes them to go undergo a massive design change but also changes one of their moves that matching their type of a specific signature move which is basically Z moves but more spamable for three whole turns. I mean yeah I suppose it could survive a Dynamax if you don't mind being accosted by the same move again and again. Also in competitive Pokemon usually most players use the same Pokemon time and time again like Landorus, or Heatran, And Thunderous Theirian. Just to name two examples so I don't understand why only certain Pokemon being viable is a problem when it's been like that since the Inception of competitive Pokemon sorry for the long reply.
Hey cool one my favorites of gen 8 I already have one though. Mostly with the same move set and item. Seriously dracovish can be a monster in competitive I recommend not sleeping on this one!
at the risk of my own safety I replicated what you are supposed to do to trigger the seizure glitch I didn't stay long but yeah it actually exists. I haven't hacked my switch or used yuzu
