I hope the froakie ones are real

oh boy a soft lock

they never teach you how to despawn gooigi in this game

floor 14 is the worst boss in the game

such a cancerous fight that

got it to 12 hp then spent the next 6 stuns doing 0 damage for no reason

i had no issues with floor 14

least creative floor, but it wasnt bad

the floor was fine, the boss was horrible because it took 7 tries to deal 12 damage

oh god

leaving out the other gen 1 starters PogChamp

everything I learn about this game is another red flag

tbh i dont believe leaks unless pokemon sent it

pokemon gets leaked constantly and I trust gamefreak to make stupid decisions

but, that thing.. tf is it supposed to be?

an ice pokemon

no i mean lol, every pokemon is based off something irl

tf is it

this game is going to be awful if half the leaks are true

apparently gigantamaxing is a special trait you have to find in pokemon

so its more than just evolving and catching

ah so like special z crystals for specific pokemon like pikachu?

no a genetic thing

oh

only specific from a species can do it

any particular species get the special treatment?

whichever are capable of gigantamazing

ah, so pokemons gonna pick favorites again

its mega evolution but you have to catch a pokemon randomly that has the gigantamaxing gene

ohhh

hm

luckily the charizard you are given by the champion has a 100% chance of gigantamaxing

why did they use charizard instead of introducing a new pokemon NotLikeThis

your just straight up given a charizard by the champion?

tf

according to "leaks"

its sounds so out of character

it might be a charmander

my hype has died down long ago, im just excited to play a new pokemon game at this point

it died when i found out theres one big area for wild areas, but no smaller ones scattered around

the only place to catch pokemon is the wild area?

no, but its the only huge area

making xenoblade would actually take effort and good coders

other places consist of small patches of grass on routes

neither of which they can be bothered to achieve

i wouldnt mind like 1/5th of the size of the wild area, just placed somewhere in the region

give Kojima pokemon

give sakurai pokemon

give literally anyone but Game Freak pokemon

they were so focused on making one huge area, they denied the fact thats where everyones gonna hang out, no smaller areas

its gonna lag like hell

BotW didn't lag much

but that was made by competent devs

and since everyones gonna be there, then there is no point in exploring the region again once you completed it

if they added smaller wild areas then the exploration would be more fun

sorry for ranting abit lol, its the biggest thing in my opinion wrong with the game

but that takes effort they could spend deciding to cut pokemon because they can't be bothered to do the same shitty animations for all 1000 of them

literally just clear a field, plot down a raid battle and tada, a small wild area

"clear a field"?

how do you think game development works?

it was a dumbed down explanation

if they put low effort into creating more areas the game would look even worse

im not saying put max effort into one, im saying like a flowery field, a snowy area, etc. have pokemon walk around like the whole game is doing and it will add more exploration of the region

not just one big wild area

doesn't the wild area have a bunch of environments?

it does, but there can be more then one environment for the entire region

like 2 snowy areas, one in the big wild area, and one put into the region somewhere else

its based on britain, there's lochs and steppes and coast

britain doesn't get snow much so thats already violating the basis

isnt there literally a town coated in snow?

i'm saying there's already more snow than there should be with that town

then add the mini wild area outside of the town

just get Monolith Soft to make it and have everything be wild area

that would be great but impossible for the great game freak

i just wish for more places to go to, so when i complete the game im not just in the wild area to do raid battles

everything is in the pokemon centers now too so there's no reason to visit towns anymore

exactly

so once im done with a town, im not visiting it again unless i pass by
