AlroIf we get into another era where they're doing a lot of spin-offs, like back in gen 4 when the had mystery dungeon, ranger, rumble, and more all going at the same time, I think it'll happen
20:35
AlroI think it's very possible but not soon.
TestalosAt least not officially.
TestalosBut they will never dare to do that.
TestalosI would love to see a game with reburst type of gameplay, that would give the whole genre a new touch for sure.
Silkeregnhey
DroncarOh hi silk
AlroI could not find a translation for the second half of reburst
20:34
TestalosI'm not sure, I did start to read a few chapters years ago and now I got reminded again.
AlroYeah Reburst was kinda neat
Alro@futuresushi tru
DroncarAre those officials?
TestalosThe latter is reburst I think.
futuresushiemerald possibly one of the ugliest character designs of all time
TestalosThere is another manga where the pokemon have more "realistic" or mature designs. And there is one more where humans and pokemon kinda fuse. Not a bad manga.
AlroNot a bad place to stop tbh, the HGSS arc is dogwater
20:33
TestalosOh I read the manga until maybe Emerald.
TestalosYeah I have the pickup table open in another tab. The pickup table in this game is very different from others.
20:32
AlroI didn't like Cryogonal until the manga happened. Manga can make anything cool.
DroncarThey felt ok to me
Entropyninesall three of those pokemon are baller though?
futuresushivanillite my beloved
DroncarThere is actually an insanely highg number of montypes in G5
TestalosCryogonal is kinda good in terms of design. I don't dislike it.
Silkeregnkeep in mind that the items they pick up vary by their level
20:31
TestalosTime to get 6 of these then.
AlroI just like to think they were at the end of development and the only ice type in the game was Kyurem and they were like "quick think of three cold things" "uh.... Snowflake, Ice Cream... Polar bear?" and then they just made those pokemon without coming up with, like, a signature move or ability, a secondary type, a gimmick, or anything
Silkeregnnose thing
Sulidthe shrew thing
TestalosThanks
futuresushishrude
TestalosCan I ask again, which early pokemon in Harsholme had pickup again?
20:29
TestalosOh interesting.
Silkeregnyeah, even missingno
Droncarnothing is locked
TestalosNice.
Droncaryes
TestalosSo are all pokemon available in their shiny form?
DroncarSome of the design were dog rayquaza, but having all new things to catch felt kinda refreshing
TestalosYup.
Primaloh this guy :mon_00xpd7jk:
AlroGolett
20:28
TestalosThe ghost ground golem thing
Entropyninestrubbish!!!
DroncarHmmmm i disagree with you both lmao
futuresushitrubbish my son
Entropyninesgen 5 had some of the best designs in the series
TestalosCan we catch all pokemon in their shiny forms here?
Primalwhats a golette
Entropyninesoh i'll fight you on that
Testalosgg
Alrocongradulettions
DroncarGG
MajiiNShiny golette
Alro"owning pokemon is okay because you guys love eachother" does not pair well with a region that has none of the old pokemon and a lot of really really weak designs
20:27
DroncarYeah my prof is an international wrestler
AlroUnova kinda tried something but it's really muddled
20:26
Entropynines...actually no i would need to give that to unova then
TestalosAlola had one of the more interesting professors.
Entropyninesbad
Entropyninesinstead of
Entropyninespassable
Droncarbased
Entropyninesbecause it was like
Entropyninesi still think alola was best
DroncarOh no they were all rayquaza
20:25
AlroAnyway, I think the statement that Scarlet and Violet have the best storyline of any pokemon game is more about the competition than the subject. What other Pokemon game even has a story worth mentioning? Sinnoh has kinda some meta-commentary about the series? Alola has some goomy to say about abusive parenting? Kalos has that one cutscene with floette that's better than most whole pokemon games?
20:22
TestalosIt used to be 400 or 350 earlier though.
20:21
TestalosThe switch is sub 300 Euro here right now.
BigBootyJohnswitch is a $400 mario kart machine
AlroSun & Moon famously do not create or destroy matter, every character is loaded at all times outside of the map.
demonycits a combination of both really
20:20
TestalosI think its not solely because of the lower specs of the switch its just poor optimization.
demonycalways love trash talking nintendo here
Alropokemon is really poorly put together, they are gonna still have some problems
demonycwelp gtg
demonycor maybe they would just ignore optimization and it would still have idk
demonycif switch were better t least pokemonn wouldnt suffer so much from performance issues
Alroaccording to the leaked specs, the switch 2 is basically just a pocket ps4, so I think these problems will get a lot smaller soon.
20:19
TestalosNah I don't hate either just stating what I have observed so far.
demonycnot hating on pokemon devs but its not even comparable, for a lot of diferent reasons
TestalosThat's true. But I just want to point out its not because of the switch that we get poor quality pokemon games mostly.
Alrolike, sure, some other nintendo games use it better than pokemon, but idk if y'all have played smash bros for switch, it takes like 10 seconds to load the png for the character you pick on the selection screen
20:18
demonycbut zelda had an actually good team working on it
TestalosBut not many games can follow in these footsteps.
Alrohonestly, I think the switch is a bigger problem than most people are willing to acknowledge
TestalosZelda proved that switch has big potential and can use it.
20:17
demonycbut its still a huge limitation
TestalosYeah its a game system designed for casuals, which most pokemon player are more or less but still they can't ignore most people playing their games from gen 1 and so they grow up.
demonycthere are some good games
Droncartrue
demonycthey can
Entropyninesnot half-ass it
Entropyninesyou just need to like
Entropyninesswitch can have acceptable games
demonyci see, bc they want to increase graphics and have open worlds in an hardware who cant barely run anything
20:16
DroncarI agree with that
AlroI'd prefer difficulty options too, but I think just because we've had such low difficulty for so long a lot of pokemon fans are really over-valuing difficulty. Kinda the magic of pokemon is that you can make your own team and win with whatever you chose, and if there's fights that you strictly need to change your team around for, that kinda steps on it.
TestalosAnd I don't see any problem with that.
