If it's Sinnoh, I'll change my pfp to Garchomp.

 

[Mythra]

If it is Sinnoh Im doing nothing because I already sentenced my sorry *** with yolo bets.

 

[Deleted member]

Sinnoh would be super hype.
I do have Pokèmon Diamond.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Detective Pikachu Trailer had Blastoise! Yes

I have not seen you in a while.
Howdy partner.

 

[praline]

I’d hate if we got a reveal for a remake of Sinnoh and not gen 8.

 

[Deleted member]

I would be hype for Gen 8, Sinnoh, Let's Go Johto and Black 3 and White 3.

 

[Deleted member]

If the region is based off Brazil, I'll change my avi accordingly

I don't think I'm getting Let's Go, but if they make a johto game I just might. My gen 2 team is one of my favorite teams

If it's a new game and the region is based on Ireland, I may actually have to play a Pokémon game for the first time in years.

On the other hand, if there ever was a region based on Ireland, I'd be afraid of it just being full of leprechauns and **** instead of actually interesting stuff. So maybe it's better if Pokémon continues to not appeal to me any more. :p

you, an average lad: "oh boy i hope they make the new generation off of [insert their home country here]"

[Mythra]

Region based on México to finally have Pokémon FIERRO and Pokémon Pariente.

 

[Idon]

We all know Gen 8 is going to be based off of Italt to capitalize on Japan's fetish for Jojo part 5.

I do not know anyone in SB that lives in New Zealand, but there are probably one or two users that live there that are active.

Well according to my personal theory that every region for the forseeable future will be based off of a country with a decent sized Pokemon playerbase. . .

It's not the worst suggestion I've ever heard. Not the best either, but not the worst.

 

[Aurane]

I hope the next gen games are based off of Mars.

 

[Mythra]

I hope the next gen games are based off of Mars.

....Im okay with this.

 

[Arcanir]

Sinnoh I'd be OK with, but I'm honestly in the mood for something new. USUM was a revisit to Alola and Let's Go was a revisit to Kanto, I'd like the next game to be a new region we haven't seen before.

I mean, while there's no denying the monsters themselves look decent(I mean, at least they still look like Rathalos and Gore Magala).........who the hell wants to watch your standard everyday military soldiers fighting the monsters? Or did they only play Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker?

At least Peace Walker remembered breaking parts and cooking meat was a thing, the movie seems to be generic military characters in a generic plot with monsters thrown in.

 

[Deleted member]

I hope the next gen games are based off of Mars.

This could work.

 

[praline]

I’d like the gen to be in India.

Or Canada... obviously.

Ooo, that would be fun.
I am sure Fal agrees with you.

Or Canada... obviously.

That works too!

Pokemon Pls Come and Pokemon To Brazil

 

[Erureido]

I'm a Sinnoh fanboy, and as much as I'm eager for the remakes, I don't think the Sinnoh remakes will be announced for tomorrow. It's generation 8 for sure.

Remakes usually come later into a generation, whether it'd be the middle (like FRLG and ORAS) or at the end (like HGSS and Let's Go if you want to count the latter), so if we were getting Sinnoh remakes, I'd say Gamefreak needs to give the first Gen 8 titles some love first. Maybe like one year or two into Gen 8 until they announce those remakes.

And honestly, I'd prefer we get a new region announcement first. Let's see something new first!

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Sinnoh is the region that introduced Empoleon and Luxray.

This makes it the best region by default.

 

[praline]

I want a moose finally in pokemon

 

[Will]

I’d like the gen to be in India.

Gen 8 will be a superpower in 2020

Me: Time to play Final Fantasy 9

Also me: watched YouTube for hours instead.

 

[Moydow]

I'm not interested in Pokémon, so have another 9 paragraphs of me nerding about EO Nexus. Maybe more than one person will read it this time?

Spoiler

- Petal Bridge was easy. The maps don't get any more circular, though. Disappointing. Even the boss. I was doing like 2000+ damage per turn with Charged Volts and stuff.

- The Ancient Forest being a mid-game dungeon instead of an early one is really disorienting. Especially since you go there after Petal Bridge, since both are from EO2 where Petal Bridge comes way later. My characters keep dying to Clawed Moles (even the enemies are all reused from past games, for the most part) and it's like "why? These guys shouldn't be this strong!"

- Also the bats are still ****ing annoying. You kill them and they just immediately respawn. They're not very challenging since they die to one or two hits of Charged Volt from my Gunner, but they're still really bothersome. So... I guess that means they're doing their job? I get that being annoying is the design intent of them (like a lot of stuff), but that doesn't mean I have to like them. Even if there was a delay of just a few steps before they respawn, they'd be more tolerable.

- The boss, the Chimaera, is no slouch either - I think I spent the last 20 turns or so with a party of 2 people because everyone else died and I forgot to bring any Nectars because I'm dumb. Still managed to scrape past, but damn, do I hate having a party with imbalanced levels. Google suggests I'm actually underlevelled for this point of the game, because I was at level 39ish when everyone else at this point seems to be saying they were 45+, and on lower difficulties too. Maybe I just accidentally found a really strong team.

- My Ninja just passed level 40 which gives her access to Drawing Slice (the skill formerly known as Tagen Battou, of "killing the post-game superboss in one hit" fame - they relocalised all the Ninja's skills' names to be in English). I'm not sure whether I want to actually go for it yet, though. Mostly because the Ninja's STR is kind of lame, so it may be hard to get any decent damage out of it. I may wait until I get access to subclasses, and go for a Ronin with Ninja sub instead. Which also makes it possible to just have a party of five Ronins (plus a Protector so they don't die) to murder everything. tl;dr Ninja as a subclass is probably ****ing busted.

- In terms of story, the Ancient Forest has you actually meeting the Seafarer princess, only for her to run off straight into danger because she doesn't want you to capture her. You end up saving her from being eaten by the boss, of course, and further ingratiate yourself to her and her people - but they still aren't interested in reconciling with their "ancient enemies". I'm still expecting something to turn up that either proves the "ancient enemies" bit to be bull****, or proves the existence of a greater threat, but if it pulls an EO3 and makes you choose between the two, I'm sticking with Maginia because strong warrior princess in proper and tastefully designed armour >>> whiny boob lady princess.

- ...Even if the former gets sick just because of some dude ringing a bell. The nameless explorer has a name now ("Blót"), and every time he shows up, a bell rings and the next thing you hear at the palace is that the princess has fallen ill again. I know Hexers aren't in this game, but they have bells that they use to cast hexes on enemies, so maybe there's some connection there? In any case, I don't trust this guy.

- At least they aren't blowing the Seafarer plot arc out in the space of like three floors, like they did with Lili and Solor's story in EO5. It also has the NPCs actually doing story stuff - in this case the guildmaster leading the town's army to provoke the Seafarer soldiers and distract them, while you infiltrate the labyrinth nearest their base and run off with all their important documents and stuff. Said labyrinth is the Undersea Grotto from EO3 - in that game, it served as the "bridge" of sorts between Armoroad and the Deep City, so I'm sure it's no coincidence that they're using it at this specific part of the game.

- Also the Undersea Grotto is another really nice area. Why are all the EO3 areas so pretty? I need to actually play that game eventually. I keep hoping for an Untold version of it, but unless that's what they're doing for the new game it seems unlikely at this point.

(The effect going on in the last image is a vortex that drags you along if you walk into it. Navigating these is one of the dungeon's main gimmicks.)

Detective Pikachu looks amazing. New trailer got me even more excited than I already was.

Beyond a reveal of Gen 8 I'm really hoping we get a look at the starters.

Pipe dream though? We get new features, specifically a difflculty option, and new megas. They announce those and I'd be ready to preorder.

 

[Ivander]

On the subject of Pokemon:

Spoiler

Of course someone had to do this for some reason.

Also, my thoughts after Resident Evil 2's success in a nutshell:

 

[Z25]

My money’s on gen 8 being in England. Makes a lot of sense from what we know.

 

[praline]

If the new region is based on the UK like people think, there's every likelihood that Ireland will be in the game in some way.

(Yes, I'm 100% aware that South Ireland is in no way related to the UK).

 

[Hat N' Clogs]

Hi people. How's everyone doing?

Playing Paladins. It's pretty fun, so I'm doing okay.

I always find people saying "Southern Ireland" to refer to the Republic of Ireland funny, because there are parts of Donegal that are further north than so-called "Northern Ireland" (including the northernmost point of the whole island).

If this happens and there's a subplot about the Ireland region being subjugated by the England region for 800 years, peace eventually comes along, and then the England region decides to **** everything up once more by pursuing Pokéexit to leave the Union of Pokémon Leagues, I might be interested. :p

I referred to it as "South Ireland", and then remembered "Oh, yeah, it's Republic of Ireland." but decided not to fix it (mostly because it was too late).

I find people calling Jersey (where I live) part of France funny, so I know where you're coming from.
