There has been a lot of buzz around Pokemon this year, with this year marking 20 years of the iconic franchise.
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.
How did Trubbish and Garbodor not make it on this list?
Klefki is pretty damn awesome design wise. Dismissing it because 'lol it's a keyring' is just shallow man.
Klefki is a f***ing homerun, design-wise. Faeries that possess and steal keys (among other small objects) is a real superstition, and its ability is *Prankster* (and Magician is its hidden, which lets it steal items held by the opponent, lol). Its got excellent flavor and it aids an all-around good design- especially compared to some other Pokemon out there. On top of that, it's an excellent Pokemon with solid defensive stats, status moves (Thunder Wave, Swagger, Substitute if you're non-Smogon), and Foul Play.
Trubbish and Garbodor, who are just worse Grimer and Muk (Muk has higher HP, Attack, Defense, and Sp Def, while Garbodor is slightly faster but still extremely slow, notwithstanding Muk gets Shadow Sneak for priority). The only thing Garbodor is good for is setting up Spikes, as his coverage is awful. Not a fan of Muk's design (I'm one of those guys who started with RBY, but still think Muk/Electrode/Jynx were awful), but Garbodor is a random assembly of four colors and shapes somewhat resembling a... thing.
So... yeah. This list is... all right. Klefki doesn't deserve to be on a list that's so short since there are plenty worse than it in design, flavor, and utility.
Ice.
Cream.
Cone.
