Top five new features that have to make their on to the new Pokemon games for the Nintendo Switch!
There are many worlds out there brimming with wondrous creatures ready to help you on your adventure beyond Pokemon.
Temtem is actually really good as a single player experience or as a co-op game. Played the shit out of it when it released
Even if Pokémon Scarlet and Violet have not yet completed their first anniversary, it is possible to predict exactly when Gen 10 is arriving.
The Nerd Stash: "There's been a lot of talk about Pokemon and Palworld recently, but if anything, Pokemon's new competition should be a sign to change."
Fortunately for Nintendo, the legal team is separate from Game Freak’s development team.
Unfortunately for us, as their legal team seems to be more competent than Game Freak's development team.
they do tho .. IF there is something to sue for. IP infringement is such a delicate thing.
but absolutely agree on the change
That, have longer dev time, and absolutely get rid of Nintendo as the exclusive platform. Imagine a AAA pkmn game on current consoles or next generation.
But money, they'll make billions with little effort.
Gamer Freak, Creatures and Nintendo all have a stake in the Pokemon franchise, Nintendo especially will never let them go, I don't know how Creatures or Game Freak feels about it. Plus, the other two don't have a financial incentive to ditch Nintendo, they make mega bucks regardless. Although I think Nintendo should help Game Freak out more since they're clearly struggling, other they'll all just have to accept longer dev times and bigger gaps between games, or maybe just make some cheaper low-tier games in-between.
Idk yall. I'd take a Pokémon jrpg over a Pokémon with guns, online play etc. Plus wasn't Pokémon mobile pretty fking big like 4 years ago then covid hit.
Even Scarlet/Violet had sold 24million as of early November (and undoubtedly sold even more during the Holidays), its not like they are currently suffering.
Yes, there are plenty of things I would like Gamefreak to do better, and yes I happened to like Palworld, but not because its a Pokemon clone, because its not, but because its a good survival game, something that I have zero interest for the mainline Pokemon games to become.
Most publications keep bringing up these topic ls just for clicks, because clearly the game is your typical survival game (most who do well on PC) with some Pokemon sprinkled in and not a Pokemon competitor, the core gameplay loop is clearly just Ark with dinosaurs swapped for Pokemon like creatures
And again, while I’m enjoying the game itself, I hope it doesnt set a new precedent for what we expect from game devs these days because, based on their other games, this developer really seems to basically just try to go as close as possible to ripping off other games without getting into trouble and then not really following up on those projects as promised (Craftopia players seem particularly angry).
I doubt they ever expected the discourse around this game to reach this level of popularity to push those insane sales numbers, and they actually take the opportunity to increase the quality of their work
I'm going to say something somewhat controversial, the last set of Pokemon games weren't that bad, it wasn't a great game, but a good game if we ignore the performance issues (and I personally didn't have many bugs).
They just need more interesting towns and NPCs (give them interesting dialogue, there's literally no reasons to talk to NPCs), interesting areas/locations (like the sunken ship and Bellsprout Tower), and some decent side quest, there isn't really any interesting side quests in those games, and fix the barely there lore for the game (Idk even know what was going on with those 4 "legendary Pokemon"). And maybe add less new Pokemon into the next game so they can transition more of the older Pokemon into 3D.
I think Scarlet/Violet had the potential to go from a good game to a great game if they implemented most of those ideas, but they also needed more development time to optimise the game as well.
Yeah agree id take a remake of red in the style of the links awakening remake any day of the week
No they don't I don't want any of the gameplay anywhere near Pokemon the only link between them is the idea of Pokemon except there's guns you enslave humans and Pokemon and there's a survival aspect.
Pokemon is fairly family friendly can't see Nintendo going ok let's give them m16s and slaughter each other
Mine would be
1) Back to basics - Remove Mega Evolutions, Primal, Z Moves, Ultra Beasts and other gimmicky things. Get back to creating good core Pokemon. Start with the original 151 again and add in the evolutions/baby Pokemon that were added in later games so it's all updated.
2) Better character creator - Most of us have grown up by now, do we still have to play the same "10 year old kid wanting to become a Pokemon master" there's lots of trainers out there in the world of Pokemon they aren't all kids.
3) Change of story - Do we have to start out moving into town, meeting the professor as he gives us our starter Pokemon which is the same old Fire, Water, Grass types while our rival picks the opposite. Why not a rookie roped into Team Rocket and you are going to rob the Pokemon lab with someone in the gang who is your mentor but you decide to not go through with it, helping the professor instead only for your mentor to become your game "rival". Despite helping the Professor your rival still gets away with the Fire, Water and Grass types so the professor offers you new starters which are Psychic, Dark or Fairy types instead while during the game you recover the three original starters back over time if you go out of your way during side quests. See just made that up in 5 minutes, I'm sure Nintendo could do better.
4) It's got to be one game...not splitting it into 2 games like the handheld versions. That set up won't work on the Switch when not everyone compared to the handheld versions will take their Switch out and about. You've got to have the full packaged game so we are allowed to sit back and collect everything over time...but obviously the game will be done so it will be more of a challenge to collect everything.
5) Build our own Town - I want to see a town we save which is very small and run down, over time we can do quests and invest money into making this town into what we want. There will also be a gym aswell we will be able to set up into what we want and battle random trainers who come inside or if we go online let people from all over the world interact with us.
