Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet

Recommended Posts

It's still a Palindrome, and it's a Pokémon that desperately needs an evolution. I massively approve!

I don't approve of crafting TM's though. I hate crafting mechanics in open world games. It sucked in Legends, it's gonna suck here.

At least it's not every item...

Shhhh don't jinx it.

Not a bad lil presentation, they need to work on the script and timing for this... "narration"

> Evolution animation happens

> Woman "oh, could Girafarig be evolving?!"

Having that Pokémon as the thumbnail for the video also didn't help in the surprise.

One thing that bugged me the most is that the top half of those picknick sandwiches look extremely realistic and not fitting in with the rest of the art style at all haha.

Wait, what!? Seriously!? That's completely stupid if true.

Trading is one of the defining features of the damn series!

To be fair, it could be a day one update. 

Also, I noticed that the Wild Pokémon we saw in the trailer were just standing still when the player approached them. That's a massive downgrade from Arceus if that's the case.

Massive upgrade, in my opinion.

Catching Pokémon was such a non-event in Legends. It also made battles utterly pointless, why whittle a Pokémon's health down when I can just chuck balls at it from behind?

For sure, I was just referring to the Pokémon standing still when you approach them. Not about catching or battling them. They just seemed like dolls.

Then it's likely performance related then.

Price you pay for having a big massive empty world.

In my mind, if you can't match something like Pokémon Snap in terms of overworld Pokémon, then you might as well just have random battles.

Speaking of performance, pretty jarring performance on that windmill, huh? Yikes.

Ah, about that. If you watch the Japanese trailer, the frame rate is more standard.

There's something very odd with the Western trailer.

Yeah. Terrible and off-putting. As if real life influences aren't terrible enough... 

With each trailer they put out, it seems like they are trying to push me away from the games.

Irrelevant these days, because of two reasons.

It's more likely then not that Oak won't show up, and it's not even the same voice actor anymore.

Not to mention that short little voice clips in a 5 hour game is a lot easier to get right then full dialogue in a 30 hour RPG. Costs way less too. And you can be damn sure TPC will take the cheap option.

If it’s not Jigglypuff as seen from above then I’m going to flip over a table.

Ed Sheeran has a song in the game so it’s already ruined.

I was certain that it was only another of those TPC commissioned songs they've been giving pop stars recently, but I just Googled it, and you're right, it's gonna be in the game...

As if I needed more red flags to worry me, the last one I needed was for this to have an English pop song.

You know what else debuted an English pop song into a series, Final Fantasy XIII. And that game is the second worse entry!

I played Lightning Returns, I gave up after 20 hours. It's horrific.
