Pokecology is a real book based on the behavioral science and ecology of Pokemon, and it's coming (to Japan) in mid-June.
Nintendo and The Pokemon Company's Pokemon Gen 10, codenamed Gaia, will be exclusive to the upcoming Switch 2, based on a new rumor.
Is anyone expecting anything less? It will be exclusive to Switch 2 eventhough it will still look like a 3DS game
To be fair, The Pokemon Company operates quite independently, so it wouldn’t have been that strange for a Pokemon game coming out in just the 2nd year of the S2’s life to still be crossgen. I mean, just how long into the PS5 and SX life are we and we are still seeing plenty of crossgen stuff
not surprised.
nintendo was prepared to have some games sell the console.
im sure the game will still look like its from the ps2 era tho.
that is in part because of the chip shortage when everyone over reacted to sars in 2019.
I've lost interest in pokemon, the mega evolve stuff was a poor digimon rip off, then the stuttering mess the 3d versions are.
I'd love a remake of gold/silver in a top down view like lets go pikachu had, but sticking with the traditional pokemon mechanics.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are set to receive upgrades for the Nintendo Switch 2 to improve performance when the new console launches later this year.
For anyone who somehow missed the news over the weekend, Pokémon developer Game Freak suffered a data leak in August which has just come to light, with various internal docs, source code to games, and other material finding its way onto the internet.
I imagine if the source code for legend ZA gets dumped online, even in an unfinished state, modders will finish it, clean it up and it would punch a hole right though the games sales numbers
I wouldn't think they'd have enough to make much more than a tech demo, obviously the game would be pretty under baked at the moment (plus that would be a lot of work for a small group of modders).
Some of the stuff from these leaks is pretty wild, particularly the human/Pokémon relations, I imagine Game Freak spends a lot of time reigning in the lore guy (supposedly it's a girl) who's totalling into that mythos. Makes me wonder if some of the stuff we see in game is toned done versions of that stuff that has been sanitised for the audience (some of that is really interesting though).
