Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I'm really hoping that fire starter will end up as some type of bad-ass looking wolf, but knowing how Pokemon has been the last several generations, and how awful every starter has looked in the end, I'm 100% expecting some super derpy looking abomination from the fiery depths of "looks like it was made by a 4-year old" hell.

Also I can't wait for the "7/10, too much wind" IGN review.

Finally ran out of colors to use, eh, Game Freak? Bout damn time.

Considering I don't really have a need for a Switch 2, I'm probably gonna be missing out on thia generation, too, but I can't wait for all the performance issues that are going to be reported as soon as it comes out, just like the last generation. Did we even get a previous generation remake game for the last gen?

This made me reflect on recent mainline entry titles and until Scarlet/Violet, color-based names hadn't been a thing since XY in 2013 and if not for SV we still wouldn't have had one since then.

There were two remakes of previous mainline games for the Switch 1; Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee (Yellow), and Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl. Unless you mean whether something like SV got a Switch 2 version, which it did but I don't recall off hand how much it addressed performance issues that game had.


I'll give credit that visually the games look way better than SV did, although that wasn't exactly a tall order. Hopefully it being Switch 2 only means it will run better, plus this will be the longest gap between mainline entries at five years since 2022's SV so I'd hope that extra time was put to good use.

...Well, I'm just stupid lol.

Let's Go was 7th gen and Brilliant/Shining was 8th gen, though. We didn't get a 9th generation Pokemon X/Y or whatever. Sure, they were both Switch Games, but they weren't part of the same generation as SV. Must have lost too much time suing Palworld to make those games.
