    SPOILERS! Scarlet & Violet Leaks Thread - Data/Mechanics

    Yo Paradox Entei looks legit sick.

    SPOILERS! Pokemon Legends: Arceus *Leak Thread*

    As for someone who's been generally disinterested on Gen 8 as a whole, the leaks are actually making me very interested on the game, in no small part due to how ambitious it is compared to past entries (the lack of blatant and major "gimmick of the week" mechanics also helps). I'm a bit mixed...

    SPOILERS! Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl Data Dumps

    The more I see this game's leaks, the more I feel bad for the devs that handled this remake. If this isn't proof they were forced to finish their product post launch due to draconian release dates, then the term rushed simply holds no meaning anymore.

    SPOILERS! Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl Data Dumps

    It definitively is. Battle Tower/Frontier/whatever teams are usually stored on a separate spot from the main story ones, which means the boss of each facility is usually given one placeholder mon for their main story entries. That's how it works in the gen 4/5 games at least.

    SPOILERS! Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl Data Dumps

    Also do we still know if getting Feebas in the remake is as tedious as the originals? Even ORAS toned down Gamefreak's "Feebas fishing spots that change dialy" thing.

    SPOILERS! Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl Data Dumps

    Dude had one for his rematch in Platinum iirc, so make of that what you will. If we go by that pattern, I do wonder what might be his 6th pokemon though.

    Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl - Release 19th Nov 2021

    ORAS wasn't entirely faithful. Granite Cave's pokemons were locked up until you got a bike (why), Mauville City received a huge makeover, you got Latias/Latios around the midgame for free rather than the postgame, Team Aqua/Magma incorporated the grimer/koffing lines into their roster, many...

    Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl - Release 19th Nov 2021

    Legit worried they don't retroactively add stuff from Platinum. That game legit fixed the Sinnoh Pokedex and added a ton of QoL improvements to DP and the engine as a whole, so this is one of those cases where staying way too faithful to the originals can potentially backfire for them in the...

    Pursuit, Return/Frustration, and Hidden Power are gone. Welp.

    Oh cool, Melmetal did actually make it! (and has its own dynamax form apparently?) I was hoping they wouldn't leave him in Let's Go hell. Edit: Also Primarina. I guess I'll still spam the Specs set for one more gen.

    Galarian Corsola and it's evo is legit nightmare fuel material and I love it.

    Sword & Shield **Official news only** DLC Crown Tundra 22nd October

    Galarian Weezing has a lot of potential IMO. The Zigzagoon family on the other hand ain't looking that promising in the grand scheme of things (even though giving them a punk motif is kinda brilliant). Loos like a reskinned Pokepelago to me, which is a good thing 'cause seeing that feature...

    Sword & Shield **Official news only** DLC Crown Tundra 22nd October

    Someone did a pretty good analisis on the whole "3D models are hard to port" argument for those interested. The thing is - and I believe even KH says it in his video - that wasn't always the case. Back when they were still in weaker hardware, Gamefreak could go above and beyond with their...

    Sword & Shield **Official news only** DLC Crown Tundra 22nd October

    Because it's getting obvious GF would rather force the consumer to make sacrifices if it means they won't have to make some themselves? Don't get me wrong. Both The Pokemon Company and Nintendo are also likely to blame for the direction the newer games have taken these past years, whether it's...

    Sword & Shield **Official news only** DLC Crown Tundra 22nd October

    There's always the chance HOME gives you a one-week-trial to do whatever you want just like Bank does, which should be enough time to transfer everything you have into SwSh. I did that for Gen 6 at least.
