Is Pokemon Concierge their answer to White Lotus?

@sketchturner survival kids! I never got to play this one, but I’ve played the spiritual successors lost in blue, which were decent. I’ve always wanted to play this one! It reminds me of playing harvest moon 2 on the GBC. That was the *****. Love your list.

I couldn't wait for the Switch release so I preordered on XBOX X from Gamestop. Gamestop let me know that it's coming 3 days late! Just gonna have to do some barrel rolls to avoid spoilers.

Mario party! I need some new maps!

But here’s my wish list:
Tears of the kingdom epic trailer like we got in 2017 for breath of the wild

Pikmin 4 info

Mario Party DLC or new game

Pokémon DLC for scarlet and violet

Addition of mods N64 games or a switch game

Ends with Metroid prime 4 details and a Metroid prime 1-3 release.

This would be EPIC

@Uncle_Franklin I purposefully look for your comments to just imagine Franklin saying them XD effin legend!

Johto for sure! Followed by Alola. I think they could do some really cool stuff for either.

Cannot wait! Super pumped!

@Serpenterror wut! I just assumed it came with Dawn of the New World. Ooof. That is concerning

I loved this game! I played it on the gamecube when it first came out and then replayed it on the ps3. Let's see if I go for one more time! The best tales of game in my opinion!

Just bought the game due to this article. It is very relaxing and I'm enjoying living out my fantasy of basically running an apothecary.

My OG switch sounds like a jet engine, even when docked! Luckily I got the OLED for Christmas. My partner was sick of hearing the very loud fan while playing lol. Does anyone know what to do with a switch that sounds like that?

Hopefully I'll have learned my lesson about pre-ordering games before reading the final review! The lag is so bad, it makes the timing of some of the attack commands laughable. Another Paper Mario clone bites the dust. Guess Bug Fables still reigns supreme on switch.

Happy to wait I'm very interested in this game and Witchbrook!

As long as team rocket doesn’t barge into every damn episode in the new anime, then I’m good.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika agreed. The GOAT. And I started playing the OG on the game boy!

AMAZING game! Loved this series. Mario Kart meets SSX.

AMAZING game. I wanted it so desperately I got it on STEAM before it could get spoiled for me. It was an addicting game for sure. I absolutely loved the first portion of the game, each subsequent "chapter" went a little down hill for me. But I'll give the game as a whole a 9/10. Don't read anything. If you are vaguely interested, just get it! It will be unlike anything you thought it would be.

I bought it and accidentally got 2 copies lol. Started it today and… I want to play it! But the problems stack on fast. I’m getting lag while doing the action timing commands (that’s critical in paper Mario games!) and also an obscene amount of loading before EVERY fight. I’m talking 5-15 seconds. I’m talking, you can consider taking a break and peeing when you run into an enemy.

It’s very fun, but you need a lot of patience to play it as it is currently on switch.

Love watching these! Can't wait!

Getting the Outbound ghost on Tuesday! Played bug fables. I just didn’t get the charm. Still a good game though. Here’s hoping the outbound ghost gets me right in the nostalgia!

I'm having a much better time in Scarlet than I did in Pokemon shield. What a FUN game! It's not the best technically or graphically but it's a joy!

I don’t think this game deserves a refund. Yes it’s glitchy, but we all heard about those in pre-reviews. It’s by no means unplayable either.

8/10 for me. It is glitchy, but it's hella fun. Enjoy the auto battles for exp farming. I also enjoy the open world much more than I thought I would. So much freedom! There's almost too many Pokemon! I'm having a hard time deciding who to keep in my party! Should I keep my grass starter and my Charcadet which is very weak until I can evolve it midgame? Or should I scrap both and raise my Capsacid for a Scovillain and have an open slot to try another new mon? Decisions, decisions.

FUN!

While Turo is HOT AF, I’ll be going with scarlet. Ancient and the past sounds more fun to me!

🪴 🐈‍⬛ weed kitty all the way

Going for a grass starter I think! First time I’ve ever went for a grass starter!

I am in Seattle and my God is the crime bad. I moved to the suburbs but work in Seattle proper. The crime and homelessness and drug abuse is disgusting. The politicians DO NOT CARE about the average working citizen. They only care about letting criminals and homelessness run rampant and blame the system (that they are running) and treat the criminals as the victim. I've been attacked by homeless people twice while walking near work. Absolute BS Democratic stronghold of a government that refuses to actually make the city work for the average citizen.

I have played many Harvest Moon titles over the years. Multiple on the GBC, GBA, DS, 3DS, and Gamecube. NOTHING prepared me for the majesty that is Stardew Valley. It is a flawless game in my opinion.

From the same-sex dating, the fun combat and cave system, the characters, and the farm itself, it just hits every level for me.

Friends of mineral town was the best in the genre until Stardew Valley came to town. What an achievement and it will continue to be written about for a long time. To me, it is one of those games that will be remembered in history as a game changer akin to Zelda OoT, Mario 64, Goldeneye, Half-Life, Halo, etc.

I got tired of waiting. I just started playing the OG advanced wars on GBA while at work. I’m good now.

@NoodlesAndBeans meh. Bug fables was mechanically good, but the characters were just not hitting the levels of Bow, Vivian, Ms Mowz, Sir Grodus, Bowser, and more. Also the chapters themselves did not cut it either. There was not a single story segment that hit the levels of PM genius like, "Of Glitz and Glory", "For the Pigs the Bell Tolls", "The Key to Pirates", and "The Invincible Tubba Blubba". These stories are all so damn memorable. I just finished Bug Fables 2 months ago and I can barely remember the different areas.

Bug Fables was a good game, but it wasn't great.

@Nanami_Ataraxi wow. Thanks! This is going to help so much!

Some of my complaints so far (just finished the first area)

1) The map does not show town names or route names which can make it really hard to contextualize the region.

2) The quest system is not for me. It was confusing and convoluted and not really helpful

One of my fav games of all time. My introduction to the tales series and still my favorite. Makes me happy to see that people can pick this up! I probably won’t as I’ve played it too many times to count. But who knows!

@Sequel I’m in total agreement. IMHO these indie games are trying to recapture the magic of a couple of genres that many fans feel are losing their luster. We all know the most successful was Stardew Valley and what it did for fans of harvest moon. I’m currently playing TemTem and I’m very pleased by the choices made to set it apart from Pokémon so far. Personally I’m very excited for the outbound ghost and hope that it gets me close to the level of joy I got from paper Mario and paper Mario TYYD. Bug Fables was great but it just didn’t have the charm to draw me in.

Nintendo has left being many fans behind for a number of franchises. It seems like many games are getting the Stardew valley treatment these days. But none so far have completely knocked it out of the park like SV did. But boy am I happy with the choices!

@Bunkerneath I tried to get into Octopath. Couldn’t. Thought it was going to be a good RPG for me as I loved games like Golden Sun or Chrono Trigger. The branching story lines were not for me. I couldn’t get into the story. Unoriginal. Oh well. Maybe this one will be better

Playing Temtem right now and I’m losing some steam on ScarVi. Refreshing to play a Pokémon game with some good ideas.

Personally very excited for this game. Bug fables was good, but it just didn’t have the Mario charm. I’m hoping that I care a bit more about the characters and story for this game. Thousand Year Door is one of my top 5 favorite games of all time.

I personally think it’s a 7. When I see the reviews on ign and whatnot at 9s, it makes me feel like I am maybe losing faith or interest in Pokémon? That’s fine if you all LOVED it. I didn’t. Something about the magic of the games disappeared after Sun and Moon for me. Is it because I’m maturing and am losing interest in the genre? Maybe. I am personally excited for the TemTem release. The added difficulty and that the monsters seem to all be viable competitively (around the 450-485 stats) it makes me happy to know that people have the opportunity to make cool teams. Much unlike Pokémon where most are just downright unusually competitively.

Just preordered it for switch. Im very excited. Haven’t played the beta. I am so happy with this era of indie games reimagining different genres and improving them. Paper Mario like games bug fables and the newly announced “The Outbound Ghost” are some good examples of this. We all know the GOAT is Stardew Valley. That game revitalized the crumbling harvest moon genre IMO. I am all for a Pokémon style RPG that will hopefully fix our own concerns us long time fans have over the last few games. TemTem feels like it may be the stardew valley of Pokémon.

One thing I’m very excited for is the balance of stats for the Temtem. The competitive scene is going to be wild. Many of the monsters seem to hover around the 450-485 range. So many pokemon are basically unusable for making competitive teams. It really seems that in TemTem you can create a team to work with your favorite mons.

Also, anyone else think that the characters look like the art style from the Freddi Fish games?

@Not_Soos Correct. I loved Paper Mario and Thousand Year Door. I played Bug Fables and liked it, but it missed the Mario charm. I just never connected with the characters or the story. I am with you in hoping that Nintendo realizes that there is a huge market for Paper Mario games. Until then, PM clones is all we have. I'll probably wait for a review from Nintendo Life and then see what happens. The art style does seem more appealing than Bug Fables, so that's a plus.

The reason I won't get this game:
My boyfriend and I have a switch and we play online with his family. In order for this to happen, we need 4 switches and each person has to buy the game? Ridiculous. This should be able to support 2 people per switch for online. I'll stick to super mario party and the amazing 2v2 mode thanks

The Dream: WW and TP remasters, Advanced Wars 1+2 (ridiculous that it was delayed), and BOTW2 title/more information.

Man I wish that Pokemon would return to pixel art. I think that if they made the games in similar style to Eastward and spent much more time on story, characters, and difficulty (maybe add a "hard" mode), the games would be amazing. I think the move to3D have made them lazy.

Very interested in this three story idea. I haven't truly enjoyed a Pokemon game since Sun & Moon. BDSP was such a let down. Especially the art style. I honestly would have preferred pixel art to chibi.
