A constantly rotating roster sounds pretty fun. I mean thats basically what the anime characters do.
I think I'll give your idea a try!

The thing is, though, that many of the issues revealed today don't come down to resources. It wouldn't have cost anything more to use Platinum's improved encounter tables or to add an Off button to the Exp. Share. These were conscious decisions no amount of resources could have made a difference with. That's what seems to make people so disappointed. That they went with the decision to implement things the stupid way instead of the improved way.
Yeah I don't want to do that so instead i get saddled with a play style i dont enjoy or exp problems i also dont enjoy
if only there was some sort of....simple on/off switch.....with which everyone could enjoy with jsut a simple option.................................
I kinda just see it as "TRs are now TMs again", since the most relevant learnable moves in SwSh were TRs.
With that said, I hope TMs in BDSP are as easy to get as TRs, and not locked as something like 64 BP prizes. If any TMs are finite like in original DP, then it would absolutely suck.
The Trainer Battle theme in this
Someone truly did take the concept of "faithful remake" too literally.
They stuck to the MIDI and took it too far to a point where the music actually sounds worse holy shit.
You might as well just stick to the OG DPP soundtrack since that sounds way better LMAO.
Yung Dramps
awesome gaming
So apparently this preview was done using an old-ass build of the game. As in, a build that predates some of the most recent trailers. Coupled with the fact this exists and yeah it's confirmed.
What the fuck is wrong with this game's marketing? Who's making the active choices to make their product seem inferior? First the nonsense reveal, now this.

Oh. That explains the awkward low-budget MIDI version of a Trainer battle music; it’s just a placeholder to let musicians know about what the melody is for them to replicate in a much higher music quality.
Yeah, the marketing being from awkward to outright bad is nothing new as far as Generation 7 or the beginning of SwSh’s ads are concerned. A 24 hour long of livestream in a still of forest with very, very few interaction in-between hours
As a side note, the final build has likely been sent to the cartridge manufacturers already.
To use Gold and Silver's development as a comparison, one of the last-minute changes for GS happened on October 11th, '99 before their release on November 21st.

You hear that sound boys? Thats the TM Black Market returning
...it probably wont be that bad but hey, an excuse to post colosseum music is good enough for me.

Calming if you look at it right.
Please kill me. How did it go so wrong so fast.
Wonder if ilca is resonsible for most of what they show.
They've not really put out a lot of games, they might just be putting together footage that looks good at the time, as they make it.
And let's face it for 80% of the audience who sees these things they're not really going to notice. Hell I'm probably one of the 20% and even I didn't think twice about any of it unless I saw side by side comparisons.
Explicitly confirmed.
Today's update pretty much confirmed our greatest fears. The real question is whether this can even beat out the original Diamond & Pearl, forget Platinum.
DP has horrible AI but BDSP's Exp. All almost completely cancels that out in my opinion. I think DP's slow speed might give it a worse ranking, but wow. I can't believe I'm even entertaining this question in my head.

I don't care that much about EXP. Share but why? Who the fuck asked for it to be mandatory? Why do they keep doing this?
I dunno man. Bad PR combined with decisions people don't like/are questionable with both SwSh and now this.
It's safe to say that Gen 8 has been an utter debacle so far. Legends: Arceus better not screw up and invoke yet another debacle for the franchise. My hopes are on that. That game better be something that truly wows people with Pokemon.
Its kind of weird how many people bemoan the exp. All change. Fuck grinding. I know you guys like to make things a bit more diffocult but lets be honest, pokemon games were never hard. We were either in our single digits or early teens if we were struggling with any trainer, and because most of us are adults challenge goes out the window by virtue of the knowledge we gained over the years.
That being said, i remember when i was told that ORAS was too faithful with the environment layouts and i wonder if the strict "faithful remake" is a response to the vocal minority voicing complaints all across the media the last few years... Either way i wasnt expecting too much so i cant say I'm let down, just gonna wait and see what happens.

I have no problem with features that decrease grinding, or having them on by default. Hell, I like them. Grinding is exhausting. The problem is that you can't turn it off. People who would like to make the game more difficult literally just do not have the option to adjust the difficulty in that way. Why.
Personally I don't mind exp share (in my playthrough of Shield I never felt overleveled at any point (regardless it should still be an option)) so I'm still going to play BDSP, but the one use TMs are going to be a pain in the ass
It's just so interesting how in one fell swoop they instantly angered a lot of the people they managed to win over after the first trailer

I do not like being super over leveled. It feels bad, for me, and the extra levels absolutely do matter at various points in the game.
The appeal of the old system was: I could keep it off and have a reasonable enough challenge since the enemies were generally some levels above me or at least about on my level as equals. If I felt I was ever behind, I could throw it on for a route or so and be just right. I got significantly more enjoyment out of XY than my friends did because of this, and the occasional level spike got me sweating a little in the various games, which was novel.
Meanwhile, folks who don't care about that can leave it on and enjoy it to their hearts content. Or they can be like siggu and use it as an excuse to get a bunch of party members
It's great for everyone! Grinding is easier if you'd like it (especially with all the other ways to pump up exp), it offers extra play styles, wonderful!
Making it permanently on just sucks for people like me, and it is such a supremely easy thing to offer an option.
The thing is, disabling Exp. Share does not make the game more difficult. Taking more time does not make it harder...
