The very start of the stream was them changing what they were going to do and him being utterly confused at why.

My favorite Pokemon is Charizard and I appreciate that its Gigantamax form looks like something straight out of Digimon: Our War Game. I like all the other Gigantamax forms a lot better, though, especially Longcat Meowth.

it sucks that only kanto pokemon got megas

non-kanto pokemon have megas including the one that needed to be banned into its own tier

I'll take absolutely broken pokemon if it means anything beyond the original 151 being relevant.

I was kind of thinking about that Gigantimax Eevve, and how G-Max Cuddle only works on opposite gender pokes kinda makes it sound a little weak compared to the other g-max status attacks.

Charm still only being opposite gender feels a bit weird, all things considered. Like I get it from a gameplay perspective, but let eevee be gay.

e: The more I think of it, why is gender still important in pokemon? Like they've always kinda subverted the breeding thing a bit with "weird, an egg just kinda showed up" - why not double down and make it so gender isn't a factor and it's just some wholesome thing about pokemon who have a super close bond or something?

Like I keep coming back to this feeling that a lot of pokemons nittty-gritty mechanics run against all the "spirit" of the game/series being about like, friendship and poo poo.

Dynamax is poo poo but saying Pokemon should have done nothing new in order to make sure everything old was brought forward is also poo poo.

Also I made the mistake of searching Game Freak on YouTube to try and find the anniversary stream without the link and wow, what an absolute trashfire those results were.

Yeah. If they'd just made it a Persian it would've been fine but tying it to an unevolved Pokemon is really stupid.

Does it really need to be a binary?

Can you not have both?

I can get it no longer being feasible to carry every legacy mechanic forward. But I would rather they have stuck to Megas or Z-Moves and continued to introduce new ones instead of what overwhelmingly feels like Lamer Mega-Evolution.

To keep starters and various other pokemon at a 87,5% male population, for reasons that never really made sense other than mere spite.

Has anyone said anything positive about little town hero yet.

I feel really bad because this was probably a game concept they had in a drawer since the early 90s and couldn't do much about it because pokemon happened.

If Game Freak wanted to escape Pokemon’s gravity that is probably not the game they’re doing it with

I don't think anyone has any interest in it really. I certainly don't have any time to try it... Interesting concept though. Instead of fighting with weapons and spells you fight with IDEAS. Ideas like "AXE" and "BLIZZAGA"

Well so far, from the demo they're showing it looks like you do not have a childhood girlfriend who scolds you for being lazy and then is the healer during combat. I'll notch that up as positive.

From what I read, it's a big battle system with random elements. Tiny town with a very, very simple story premise. Some really like it, and others find it ok, and GameXplain loving hated it.

Very limited animation, and odd performance issues, too.

Giga Char looks better than either of his Megas. Charizard needs to be two things: a little chunky, and on fire. This one achieves both.

charizard is easily the best looking out of that bunch but when your competition are a butterfree and eeevee that look basically the same and a meowth and pikachu that are stretched vertically and horizontally that's not exactly high praise
