I see some all time favorites on it like: Coalossal, Goodra, Hydreigon, Lucario, Salamence, Altaria, Gardevoir, Tyranitar, Dragonite, Arcanine. Apart for a few new ones, I'm not a fan of the new generation designs. But nonetheless, I'll buy the game. RE: Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | New Pokémon: Greavard - Moonface - Nov 1st, 2022 I know it comes up every time a new gen gets revealed but I'm curious to hear from those who do have issues with the newer designs; what tends to be the main difference between the newer designs compared to the older ones? Like I've seen comments around the internet on the matter but it's always stuff like "the new Pokémon have lazy ideas it's just literally an x" but every gen has Pokémon that are just literally x and even then that doesn't apply to every Pokémon anyway so it can't cover the designs which don't fall under that. I'm just curious what the key difference seems to be between the two periods for people here. RE: Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | New Pokémon: Greavard - Moonface - Nov 7th, 2022 There's going to be a new trailer tomorrow morning at 6am PT: Additionally, a new Pokémon was revealed yesterday called Gimmighoul, a Ghost-type that comes in a Chest form and a Roaming form: RE: Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | New Pokémon: Greavard - ShiraNoMai - Nov 8th, 2022 God I can't believe they're putting out yet another trailer. I'm so glad I haven't seen too much cuz wow that is sure a lot of coverage of a game approaching release. Been hearing more leaks have dropped, some significant parts of the game as well. I think I heard Fuecoco's second stage evo was revealed there. Trying to keep away from all spoilers so if any of y'all have any, please remember to tag them as such RE: Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | New Pokémon: Greavard - Mr EliteL - Nov 8th, 2022 Ah, that's 2PM my time for the trailer. Might watch it live, not sure though. I'll try and remember. Gimmighoul, just happy it wasn't the chest itself is the Pokémon and that there is a tiny thing inside it which is, judging from the design of the chest which looked well, standard and nothing defining. OK, you could say it's easily noticeable to be the chest from Pokémon but that's all. Would pick the dog ghost over it easily though. RE: Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | New Pokémon: Greavard - Moonface - Nov 8th, 2022 Join Forces to Battle the Mightiest Pokémon! As announced yesterday, a new trailer for Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet is here; however, if you're interested solely in what new things were announced, I would suggest skipping the trailer entirely because it's really just a sizzle reel of the games as a whole with clips of some new stuff briefly placed throughout it.
So yeah, if you do watch the trailer you'll see it really doesn't tell you anything that was actually announced so I don't get why it was hyped up by Nintendo when the meat on the bones has to be found outside the trailer. Also no idea what on earth is up with the names of the two new Pokémon because to me they sound like move names. I thought it might be a translation error but apparently these are the official English names, and I think they're stupid. Also gg on paying money for an Ed Sheeran song for these games but not bothering to have voice acting which is a much more worthwhile thing to put money into than a song. RE: Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet - ShiraNoMai - Nov 9th, 2022 I... yeah, I'm just gonna play the game when it launches. Don't even care to entertain the official stuff now. I'm worried the leaks will make it to my Twitter timeline but I may mute that stuff. RE: Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet - Mr EliteL - Nov 9th, 2022 I went and missed live somehow even though I remembered it 10 mins beforehand, got some lunch and immediately forgot about it. Disappointed with the Ed Sheeran song so I muted the video but wasn't much there anyway. Still not sure if I really want the new Pokémon game, if I do it will be Scarlet but at the moment leaning to a no, purely because of the other games I have to play and more interested in Octopath 2. RE: Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet - aerodynamik - Nov 9th, 2022 oh shit 2 days till countdown RE: Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet - Moonface - Nov 10th, 2022 (Nov 9th, 2022, 05:35 AM)ShiraNoMai Wrote:I definitely don't care to entertain anymore announcements about trailers and reveals for this game or any future Pokémon title unless it's a Direct. This games marketing had way too many instances of hyping up trailers that are a complete waste of time to watch. As for the leaks, I looked at a lot yesterday and although it wasn't confirmed as being official or not, if the leak of Fuecoco's final evolution is real I'd rank that one as the best, followed by Sprigatitio and then Quaxly. RE: Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet - Dragon Lord - Nov 16th, 2022 Well, looks like Bagon is going to be exclusive to Violet and Larvitar will be exclusive to Scarlet. So looks like I'll be going with Scarlet. I hate giving up Salamence, but having both Hydreigon and Dragonite available to obtain makes going with the version that gives me Tyranitar a pretty easy decision. Might give that new Dragon/Ghost Pokemon a try though even though its design is, like the rest of the new Pokemon, pretty awful. In the end though, when in doubt, Hydreigon it out. RE: Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet - aerodynamik - Nov 16th, 2022 This might be an interesting read: https://pokemondb.net/pokedex/game/scarlet-violet RE: Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet - Moonface - Nov 17th, 2022 So currently this is the lowest scoring mainline Pokémon game since Pokémon Emerald, with a 78 on Metacritic. Not that 78 is bad, but why I mention the low score is because it seems the sole reason for it being so low is performance and graphical issues, which have been cited in the majority of reviews for the game. If you're wondering how rough these issues actually are, here's some excerpts: Polygon Wrote: Eurogamer Wrote: VG247 Wrote: The Guardian Wrote: GamesRadar Wrote: It sucks, because outside of that the game is being hailed as incredibly good, and I'd be interested to know how well it would have scored overall if it wasn't being held back by performance issues that I suspect are mostly the result of the limitations of the Switch itself. I expected the game wouldn't run perfectly, but it seems to be pretty bad on that front by the looks of it. RE: Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet - ShiraNoMai - Nov 18th, 2022 I'll be wanting Violet, but yeah, I really wish The Pokemon Company would really give GameFreak more than cookie crumbs and spare change to make a quality game in the time frame they give them. It's embarrassing for a billion-dollar franchise to churn out a game that operates on such an unfinished/unpolished level, and I'd also be ashamed being a hard worker for GameFreak knowing that all the hard work I've done will just be shat on because I didn't get sufficient equipment (money, time, etc) to make the product I wanted. RE: Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet - Dragon Lord - Nov 18th, 2022 I've seen some screenshots of the game and I'm pretty sure I've seen N64 games that look better than Scarlet/Violet. KEKW "Guys, this game is only going to make us like $20,000,000,000, so all we can afford is a $5 budget." Also in no way can the Switch be blamed for the performance of these games. There are much bigger games that run and look much better on the Switch, so they have no excuse. This is just a case of Gamefreak being absolute shit at optimization and/or just lazy/knowing people are going to buy the game no matter how bad they make it. They know the money is going to come rolling in, so why bother spending the time or money to make the game properly? |
