For such a highly successful series, Pokemon still remains highly experimental by constantly adding new concepts. While the core gameplay remains the same, the method and means keep changing…and not for the better, at times. Since we’re entering the realm of digi-volving your Pokemon with some special ring, why don’t we look at seven ideas that didn’t quite pan out.
From HalfBeard's HUD.
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.
Pokecology is a real book based on the behavioral science and ecology of Pokemon, and it's coming (to Japan) in mid-June.
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.
1 - no comment. I NEVER used the Berry Crush EVER in Gen III
2 - EVs and IVs are still there, but I love the inclusion of Super Training. No more fighting the same old Pokémon 252 times for just one stat! And real men don't use Rare Candies! Real Pokémon Trainers grind the Elite Four over and over again!
3 - I don't know about you, but I just hatched a shiny Fennekin a few days in 48 eggs. Sure, I used MM, but the chances of finding a shiny that way is still less than 1%
4 - Darn. Vs Seeker not back in X/Y. We'll have to wait until the disc-loc... I mean remaster is released a year and a half later with Z
5 - If there's one thing I hate more about caves in Pokémom than Zubat, it's a gotdarn horde of Mime Jrs that slow down the frame rate
6 - 4 moves is okay by me. It's perfect the way it is. A Swords Dance and an attacking move. What do you need 5 moves for?
7 - I also personally hated the contests in Hoenn and Sinnoh. Didn't care about them. Good thing they haven't been back since.
One thing I gotta add though. For the love of Arceus, please remove Cut as an HM. Just give the MC a key item like a hedge clipper or something. Cut is a useless and wasteful move. I feel embarrassed letting my HM Slaves learn that move.
