Naganadel is the best thing about USUM and makes up for the fact that the combination of dragons and liver spots exists.Naganadel is best Gen 7 Dragon. FITE ME!
I still stand by this.D/P remakes won't be good: I agree with this one because of this trend of overhyping unreleased products like it's the second coming or something. We saw it with ORAS, and you'd think people would be more cautious when the game dropped, but then you see posts and comments hyping the gen 4 remakes all over again. I love ORAS, but I think Gen 3 didn't really need a remake like Gen 1 or 2 did, and Gen 4 needs it even less since Platinum is a very polished experience already with little to improve (aside from the HM syndrome).
It's called "self induced delusion".I feel as though a chunk of the damage done by the pokemon fandom is self inflicted. A lot of fans get hyped for something like gen 4 remakes and then get mad when Gamefreak doesn't say anything about them.
tfw P5Royal and Scramble got announced and released way before SMTV even gets a second trailer....It's called "self induced delusion".
Us SMT fans know this very well
...unless you want to fight Sabrina early for some reason...
I share the frustration with a lot of the fanbase lately, but why stop wanting something because other people are obnoxious about it?Well, the whole Unite thing has finally converted me over to the "I don't want DP remakes" crowd. Not because of a sudden drop in confidence in Game Freak or anything but because of how I've become exhausted over the whole concept with how much people have been begging and screaming for it and upon mulling it over I'd much rather GF expend the effort on other projects, Pokemon-related or otherwise.
Anyone familiar with GF and Nintendo's core series marketing strategies would have known that DP remakes weren't coming. For the past eight years, Nintendo has aimed to publish a new core series game just before Black Friday (aside from the 2015 gap to presumably line up the 20th anniversary). When they do this, new regions have more content to show off and draw out the hype, so they're revealed about 9 months in advance (which since 2016 has lined up nicely with Pokemon Day). Games that aren't new regions have less content and get revealed about 5-6 months in advance instead (which instead lines up nicely with E3).Well, the whole Unite thing has finally converted me over to the "I don't want DP remakes" crowd.

Like DG said, if something Gen 4-related must happen, just go with Platinum Remastered or something. Honestly nah I don't even think I want that anymore, just slap a couple of ports of DPP onto the Eshop and be done with it.
I think the appropriate time for a DP remake is sadly behind us. The games were out in 2006/2007; kids who grew up with them are way outside the target demographic for Pokémon already.In any case, there's no way I can believe we're ever getting a DP remake announcement until something like May/June 2021, May/June 2022, or May/June 2023. (This means that if E3 2021 comes and goes with no hint of a DP remake, we shouldn't expect it for another year.)
I think you forgot something pretty crucial. MMO is short for MMORPG, and Pokémon GO isn't an RPG. The whole point of the game is that you're not roleplaying another character, but rather controlling yourself -- to the point that physically walking around your own city or town is the primary gameplay. When the purpose of MMORPGs is to escape into another world, Pokémon GO can't fill the brief.Y'know from time to time I still see people talking about a Pokemon MMO. I don't think the dream is as fervent as it was 5-10 years ago but it definitely still exists. I mean look at all the fan-games tryna fill that niche.
What I find most interesting about these requests is that the Pokemon MMO has already been made and is currently running. You may know it as Pokemon Go.
No really, think about it
-Constantly inter-connected, massive open world (in this case the Earth itself)
-A handful of factions that each player joins and supports as they play the game
-Raid battles with big drops that emphasize player cooperation and coordination
-PVP system with Leagues
It checks off a ton of the staples of the genre, don't ya think?
Yup. What will make people love the games is much more detailed, realistic -- and therefore immersive -- worldbuilding. The over-the-top apocalyptic storylines have the opposite effect because they're usually so farcical. The same obviously goes for the battle gimmicks.IDK if I said this before but Pokemon games should abandon the "deep" and "complex" villain stories and motivations. It worked once with gen 5, and then every time they try to pull that shit again it falls flat. XY "Oh I hate ugly things so I must destroy all pokemon." SM "My husband disappeared and now I'm obsessed with a space jellyfish, whilst driving my family away from em because I'm an abusive PoS" SS "I GOTTA SOLVE THIS ENERGY CRISIS THAT'LL HAPPEN IN A CENTURY RIGHT NOW AND INTERRUPT EVERYTHING BECAUSE I CAN LITERALLY NOT WAIT A DAY FOR THE CHAMPION TO HELP ME!"
Honestly I think we should remove villains all together and have a game that focuses more on the journey of becoming a pokemon master, while fleshing out the gym leaders and E4 more. Namely because while gamefreak can make some decent to good characters, their overall narrative skills aren't really that good.
Eh, for some of those (XY and SS especially) I wouldn't describe the villain stories as deep or complex. I'd describe them as trying to be deep and complex and falling flat on their faces. Though I'm with you in wanting to drop the villain plot altogether. Giving each mainline Pokemon game two plots that are almost entirely unrelated to each other (the champion plot and the villain plot) is such a bizarre choice that I'm baffled not only as to why it's continued, but as to why it was done in the first place.IDK if I said this before but Pokemon games should abandon the "deep" and "complex" villain stories and motivations.

Besides, honestly if the whole yell/rose plot didn't exist, SwSh would have a pretty solid journey storyline about actually becoming the champion.Eh, for some of those (XY and SS especially) I wouldn't describe the villain stories as deep or complex.

This has got me wondering how it'd be if the secondary story from HGSS - the player proving themselves worthy to encounter a legendary - was the sole focus of the game, without any antics from Team Rocket or any other group of evildoers being involved in the story at all.*IDK if I said this before but Pokemon games should abandon the "deep" and "complex" villain stories and motivations.

Well yeah, that's the problem. If the events seemed believable and you could buy into them, the stories might be effective. But they are usually very far off. Plotlines like Team Rocket trying to poach and sell Slowpoke tails, on the other hand, are totally credible and therefore work much better. But these people want to go for a big spectacle every time.Eh, for some of those (XY and SS especially) I wouldn't describe the villain stories as deep or complex.

Yeah, but the legendary plot does exist. And you have to jump through mental hoops constantly to try to justify the big Pokemon gimmick to yourself to avoid having that ruin things. And you have a soon-to-be "professor" looking at statues in restaurants to study history, or whatever.Worldie said:Besides, honestly if the whole yell/rose plot didn't exist, SwSh would have a pretty solid journey storyline about actually becoming the champion.
