So the first images we got was from the guy proving he had the game to a potential buyer, who then posted the pictures of the case and cartridge to reddit.

This new one apparently he realizes how many people wants the game and in the comments has started advertising that he's selling. Probably a full leak soon.

When are the remakes supposed to drop again? I ask because I'd like to know when we can expect the same for Legends Arceus.

Isn’t Home also tied to the GTS though, cause that part used to be a pretty fun part of the games for me as an antisocial loser.

I mean it is for sword and shield, but they could include the GTS building in sinnoh where it was before.

New leak video out. Maylene is 3rd and has her Diamond and Pearl team.
one thing I noticed: due to the experience share, the vast majority of their team is level 32, meanwhile Maylene's ace is level 30.

it's not that big a deal, but it's kinda disappointing that not even gym leaders have a level advantage on you.

And yet only a small part of why I hate the forced exp share any time I see it crop up. Even worse, I've even seen fangames starting to do it. It's become an instant deal-breaker for me, and I'm honestly considering skipping this one altogether.

(then again, I may not. Who knows. We'll see.)

They also have all 3 starters. Unless they traded eggs over to the game and hatched them, aren't they getting some boosted xp?

Platinum doesn’t have Fairy type or Home support. :v:

Also I can’t play Platinum on my Switch so there’s that too.

I honestly thought I would be getting every new Pokemon game on release day for as long as they are releasing them but I've pretty much checked completely out of the series at this point. I'm not even angry or anything, I've been trying to give the series as much slack as I can manage, I always love the mons but the games just bring me zero joy now.

I'm sure the series is going to continue to print money but I can't afford as many games as I used to thanks to life stuff, but it feels weirdly sad to finally give up on my absolute favorite childhood series.

Same. It looks new and interesting, with a somewhat darker feel to it I always enjoy in Pokemon. It's probably not a day one purchase for me but I'm almost certainly getting it.

Dude just do what I do and get the ones that appeal to you. Getting every single one regardless of whether they're something you want to invest time in ain't worth it.

I’m thankful for the Pokewalker from HG/SS. It let me take Raichu with me to work while I was a over night Janitor to keep me from getting too lonely. It also let me get flying and surfing Raichus.

I’m mostly just thankful for Raichu. Been with me in some form since Day One. If a game gives me a Pikachu, he’s getting a thunder stone shoved in his face.

The pokewalker was a wonderful peripheral. I remember a Gizmodo article calling it the best pedometer on the market at the time.

I would shake mine every day while checking my e-mail at work until I hit 10k steps and would start hunting Pikachu that could fly and surf. Such a great memory, thanks for sharing. Check your PMs!

HootTheOwl posted:

I'm thankful for the Gibberish monster:
My first pokemon game was a GBC rom of pokemon Gold version but it was poorly translated, you only have five characters for names and nicknames and after the first gym the translation mostly failed. So my sister and I called it "the gibberish monster" that ate all the words. Because if it didn't eat the words it wouldn't have pooped out a rom and I wouldn't have been able to play pokemon.

This is such a great story! I love it! I'm reminded of fellow goon OgreNoah who I knew growing up. He imported a copy of either Gold or Silver from Japan while we were in middle school and played it in Japanese without really understanding a drat thing.

Check your PMs!

Xatu is one of my favorite Pokemon, and I've hated seeing it in the 3D games because of the awful pose they gave it. If we can just get standing Xatu then I will be satisfied.

You can pass mine to the next person. Got myself a code yesterday while picking one up for a friend.

The Pokeball plus just didn’t have the same charm as the Pokewalker. Though, I did use the heck out of that thing for a while too.

Looks like gym leaders are strictly using their DP pokemon, but movesets are updated at least, like Maylene's Lucario having Bulk Up.

Beyond that, the only new feature is that apparently your pokemon following you gets you the max bond stuff faster.

At this pace, we're like 24 hours from a video where we can see Flint's glorious "fire" type team.

What's the point of TMs being breakable if some of them are effectively unlimited? :psyduck: Just make certain ones unlimited!! Was the TM/TR distinction so hard to implement that they just didn't even try?

I will forever be terribly amused that the poo poo they remove from previous games is always either stuff that while nonvital was pretty cool, or was actually a really convenient QoL life thing. Pokemon, forever two steps forward, one step back.
