Well the let's go models were identical to the 3ds ones only uprezzed as far as I know which points to them being taken from the same master doesnt it? I dont think that was a lie.

Cant wait for super sword and shield next year to add 50 more pokemon per version and that being the only new content. :cheerdoge:

I just wish pokemon had a good postgame again. I personally would be happy with just fwiggin 151 pokemon if that was the case.

Man the online stuff for raids is dire. No one ever joins mine and 80% of the time the ones that pop up are already expired.

By pop up you mean right after pressing x to refresh stamps?

It only lets me refresh seemingly at random, like every 20mins, otherwise I'm stuck relying on them popping up in my feed naturally.

God please Nintendo do something about how horrifically bad this sticker system is online. Love to be shown raid prompts that were active over 15mins ago for some reason.

Beat the story yesterday. Pretty let down at how uneventful 90% of it is. I'm not expecting much but the fact that there was basically no meaningful "B-plot" and you mostly just walked from gym to gym with nothing interesting happening in between kinda sucked. The climax was cool but it was the only really cool moment in it at all which isn't a good thing.

Only just started the postgame but hearing that it's also a bunch of nothing that takes an hour to finish and then there's literally no new area or anything to do other than Battle Tower and 5 star raids kinda blows.

combining the villain team 'story' with a gym and having that constitute the entirety of a town, and then having that gym leader not even engage with the big gimmick of the game was inspired corner cutting

Team Skull was such a good deviation from the typical world ending villain group that it's baffling how much they hosed up with Team Yell.

Is there any new clothing or hairstyles or anything in the postgame or nah

It's bad to expect more from the most profitable game series in the world.

Team Yell owns though? They're literally a group of ultras in a game heavily riffing off British football culture. It rules.

They show up like literally 4 times and do nothing of interest at all. The idea behind them is fine, their implementation was complete garbage.

I've done it because I'm a horrible human.

"Honestly, even my own boycott was only meant to last for the initial few weeks because I just didn't want to contribute to their key opening sales."

lmao

Also there's a whole thread of posts of just people posting that they are replaying the old pokemon games instead. It's so good.

I'm not entirely sure why anyone thought a boycott would do anything, especially in this case. If every adult fan boycotted the game it still would be a top seller since kids would be getting it anyways.

why is it whenever someone brings up any sort of complaint with the game people feel the need to create a strawman like this instead of just responding like a normal person

I don't understand why we can't let our Pokemon follow us again if they were capable of adding all these overworld Pokemon :sigh:

game freak said around the time of b/w or x/y that they aren't going to do that anymore because it would reduce the 'value' of playing HGSS or whatever

I genuinely would not be surprised to learn that fashion was meant to only be in x/y but it was too popular for them to not bring forward.

I thought YW4 was a top charting game in japan for a while after it came out though? I know sales don't equal quality or anything but that seems a bit at odds.

It was only the top charting game for a single week before it dropped off the chart. Also the merch sales and interest in the characters absolutely died. They closed the Yokai-exclusive stores and the anime apparently got super-wrecked in ratings after (ironically) they changed the catchy theme song that was maybe responsible for its popularity in the first place.

Oh ok, you're right. Thought I read multiple weeks not just a single one. That's a shame. I tried the demo for the first game and didn't really like it but the move from handheld to console seemed good...Shame that I guess didn't turn out well.

I think Hop might be the only time I felt bad kicking a rivals rear end. Hes so eager and happy to battle you each time that just one shotting all his pokes everytime he showed up made me feel like I was beating up a child in ways the other rivals never made me feel. Definitely dont think that was the intended takeaway though.

Did they ever fix not being able to get people to join your raids? that was a huge issue at launch. Booted this up for the first time since for the dlc.

Are you sure you're online? I've never had issues with people joining raids.

EDIT: Oh my god you can get Safari balls from the Cram-o-matic.

I was. Whenever I would try abouit 90% of the time itd just search endlessly. And most of the time I tried joining ones that popped up on the feed it'd say they're no longer available.

I fell off the first DLC before getting too far but I've been enjoying this one alot. Dynamax Adventures are really neat!

Do you have the full roster of Dyanamx Adventure legendaries from the getgo or do you have to unlock more from doing DLC stuff? Mostly curious since I've been running into the same like 3 alot. Just bad luck?

Ah, alright cool. Yeah I was able to get Articuno from talking to the girl so that was nice. Good to know about the UBs though. I really want those so I guess I'll finish up the other things first.

Man I've had not really any issue with any other legendary but Zygarde is a pain. Every time it seems everyone just has the worst possible picks for them and we get blown out at some point once it transforms.

Man is my game bugged or something? Peonia literally only gives me a raid for Xirkitree, which I already have. Past 6 times she's been trying to send me back to fight this thing. Even after accepting it and then fighting something else I come back and she does it again!

I was pretty let down by the base game...I don't even care about ugly trees or not having a full dex either.

Crown Tundra was a lot of fun though!
