I have only reached the first Pokemon Centre, so I will reserve the right to review my judgement later on. I am completely unspoiled (I only actively know the starters first stage, the Legendaries, and the Pokemon I've caught so far). New designs I've encountered (Fidough, Oink Oink Normal...

I would like to tip my hat to my Ukrainian brothers, I have a respect for their straight spine that I cannot express in words. The same is true for Russian people manifesting against war and getting arrested by the thousands. Here in Italy your community is 280.000 strong and a lot of your...

The problem is that we got (so far), nothing for Dexit. PLA is a massively easier title to manage from this standpoint due to its much more close-chained structure. Plus, this is an exercise in confirmation bias like I have rarely seen: "See? PLA is this good because of Dexit" said with no...

This. Absolutely this. There is a huge lack of causation evidence here and nothing prevented games from improving in presence or absence or Dexit. I will try to formulate something more elaborate later.

You both think that it looks significantly better than SwSh? (and you're not alone, it appears) I played a little bit yesterday and I still have to admit that it still feels off to me. Maybe it's just my eyes or my sight not adapted well to the improvements. I'll see if it is just a "getting...

I have to say I am thoroughly enjoying this even though I foresee some problems. Mind you, I only have level 15 mons at best and I've just crossed the first bridge (the one where you're challenged by the Diamond team member with a Munchlax, to be clear). Initial pros and cons (for which I...

Cufant. Not bad at all.

I am pretty sure to get this game despite being one of the most critical people in here regarding how Pokemon has handled the transition to Nintendo Switch, and I can give you some reasoning that could sway you one way or the other: If you are looking for hook-ups, links to the general lore...

I'll kick myself if I could for not considering Glastrier enough. Congrats and massive props. Still, I have a couple of updates to give, two brief ones and another accomplishment I've been working on for longer. First, two not record-breaking but still noteworthy streaks for Ice and Dark...

I agree with your last sentence, but the prove is in the pudding and so far we only have Alola and Galar as evidence. Alola did it somewhat right, Galar however butchered it completely by not providing the option. Breeding made it far more confusing, by the way. Who the hell decided that...

I'm actually far more positive that I should be given SwSh track record (I still have a few concerns, but well that's me not giving anyone the benefit of the doubt in this industry these days). How I would rate the various pieces of news: Amazing: Mons, region, characters. Good but under...

All right, sounds good. I'll check the list later today when I'll be back from work and let you know which mons are available in Gen6. Whelp, I already got one, so no worries. I have to update the wishlist.

No problem! What are you interested in? I am sure I can work in some ball/mon combination.

Hi there. Of course I am still open for business. Please note that the vast majority of the collection is in gen 7 (and, by extention, in SwSh), not 6. But I can easily use bank and move things around (the only constraints, I think, are the compatibility checks). To sort things out the...

Since a man can dream... *disclaimer*: it will never be like this. Competitive Milotic is a thing. If it's somewhat decent in terms of IV/EV distribution, it may also live Luxray's attack if you're underleveled/uninvested. Imagine you switch Luxray to OHKO it...it lives. Competitive triggers...

For what is worth, I remember some of them, even though not their English names, so it would be pointless. It depends, because for example I also play Pokemon a lot because, outside of the excitement of wild encounters you described so well, I also love the battling challenges a là Battle...

Well, this sounds very, very interesting. Once again, I find myself speculating about what the game may include or not in terms of mechanic, (hi)story, references, new ideas... It remains to be seen if this is a "catch-only" game or if battles between trainers will still be a focal point (it...

24 hours (and some) afterwards, 8 pages of reading opinions to see if someone else's perspective could actually clear my mind with something I have not thought about yet, and I still cant' wrap my head around how I truly feel about the release of the remakes (I feel a lot more confident with my...

I feel like I've been thrown in a spin cycle and can't wrap my head around what I saw. I will give it clear thought after re-watching all of it. As I suspected there is some good and some bad, but one thing is certain: please take out your notebook, this is a textbook example on how not to...

I like all of your points, especially the bolded part, hence I'm going to play devil's advocate for DLC3 because it makes the most sense. Developing a new game would require much more effort: this includes Gen9 and Sinnoh remakes, which would effectively be entirely new games (little to...
