Pokemon Pokopia
- Thread starter DHR-107
- Start date
So it turns out this a fully priced game and some say is at the same price as Mario Kart on Japan (which would be a big concern about future Nintendo games).
With that and the decently big file size for a nintendo game it may be a bigger deal than what me and many were anticipated, really hoping it has the same level of quality as Animal Crossing to excuse the price, this could be the best spinoff game we have seen in years, or a bad experiment, that trailer better doesn't disappoint (why not reveal all this stuff until after the trailer anyway?).

Pricing in Japan has always been all over the place. In other territories it's standard price like DKB £58.99/€69.99/€69.99
I'd also say 10 GB is probably about average these days, even for Nintendo. Mario Kart was like...24gb? DK Banaza was almost 9. This is also being partially made by Koei Tecmo. (age of imprisonment is 44 GB jesus christ)
I mean maybe it was just me but I never expected this to be a tiny, cheap download only game from how they were presenting it. Honestly could have believed it'd be higher than 10 GB.
I was expecting it to be a full priced game. The first thing I thought when the trailer was shown was "Oh hey this is Dragon Quest Builders but with Pokemon", and that is a full priced game as well.
Now the question will be, is it worth 70 bucks. Probably not, the Pokemon games are never worth the full price, but you can also only get them full price. We'll see.

The ever-so-chilly Delta Snorlax from Pokémon Insurgence:
I mean I think that’s a pretty important contextual difference there…
- Bloodmoon Ursaluna was introduced in promotional material for a main series game
- These were not
That alone is a significant-enough reason to doubt that these will appear in the main series games instead of standing in the hall of spin-off variants alongside Primal Dialga, Shadow Mewtwo, Mystery Dungeon’s purple Kecleon, and all the Magikarp patterns from Magikarp Jump.
"build a paradise for pokemon" wrong. torture facility
Primal Dialga is just an enraged Dialga with nothing special other than plot. Shadow Mewtwo is in the same spot as Shadow Lugia and shadows in general that they haven’t been introduced into the main series and they look exactly the same other than purple aura. Meanwhile Snorlax having a grass type form with grass growing on top of it doesn’t seem out of place for a regional. The others I’d argue sure, not enough has changed to be considered a new “form” for the main series, ghost pikachu could work with the smaller tail.
