Yeah, I sort of have this gut feeling that Gen 7 is going to be a tad rushed for that reason. How little they've shared for a game coming in less than a year, when we got a plethora of footage and info on X and Y when the game had a larger gap to go along with it. It really seems more like despiration to get it out for the 20th year when they could be spending more time to make it even greater.Have we not been speculating what the CoroCoro announcement of an announcement means?
I mean. . .I almost get the impression that Pokémon Company is going to roll out the first gameplay trailer BEFORE CoroCoro starts showing off stuff, and CoroCoro will just be the initial source for additional details and more minor Pokémon from the Region. Granted, that's just one possibility, but with how big of a deal they would likely want to make the 20th Anniversary game I figure Pokémon Company might want to show off their best material themselves.
And I just realized: XY was announced in, like, January, and released in October. Even if Sun and Moon are released in November, we're going to have a shorter span of time for Pokémon Company to shovel out information.
And then there's the fact that this is the longest time the fandom has had to wait for a game since, what, Gen 4?
And it's not like they don't have 3D models for all the old Pokémon at the ready now. It's not like sprite recycling hasn't happened between generations before, so if they ported the models over, that would leave them a lot more free to make more Pokémon. And the fandom reaction to how few new Pokémon there were in Kalos was pretty strong. . .
Basically I think there's a possibility that we're going to get a huge deluge of information starting in a bit less than a month. How much info depends on how much they want to keep hidden for players to discover for themselves, but with the shorter timespan they could be trying for a rapid fire marketing approach, timing announcements in a way to keep the hype train chugging along without slowing down. Even the cryptic display could have been a planned method of trying to get the hype train started, leaving people knowing the game exists and giving them a few hints about it but leaving them craving the Starters and Legendaries and speculating like mad about them. Then, right before they are predicted to run of steam, Pokémon Company puts out a proper gameplay trailer that people are even more hyped to watch because they've had time to anticipate it.
I don't expect a trailer to drop within the next two weeks, granted, but I think there's a possibility that Pokemon Company might pull something prior to the next CoroCoro leak.
Heck, they might start doing dedicated Directs once a month until release for all we know. It's unlikely, but I may as well throw the possibility out there.
Well, they've also been working on this game far longer than normal. We never even got a Pokemon release last year and prior to that it had been a very long time since they skipped a year. And they're even releasing it around the holidays, so we're basically getting two years worth of development time instead of just the one that we usually do.Yeah, I sort of have this gut feeling that Gen 7 is going to be a tad rushed for that reason.

I'd like to think that's just paranoia though.
Lumas never transform into black holes...Fine, Luma can transform in other things either way.
Pull Stars, Launch Stars, I think Black Holes as well?
Yeah, it took dozens of the little buggers to SURPRESS a black hole. If you're talking the smaller ones, pretty sure those are just as natural as a ? Block that forms on a planetoid.Lumas never transform into black holes...
Oh I don't doubt they've been working on it long before the announcement. It's just a general 'fear' about short span announcements I have I guess.Well, they've also been working on this game far longer than normal. We never even got a Pokemon release last year and prior to that it had been a very long time since they skipped a year.
Hopefully that reassures you a bit?

I don't think you need to worry. XY's problem was to much advertisement, and less of a focus on the core game. I think XY was merely a test. They wanted to see what it be like to put out pokemon on the 3ds and explore new ideas with their new technology.Yeah, I sort of have this gut feeling that Gen 7 is going to be a tad rushed for that reason.

No, people use that meme to mock GTIf you can't tell who I plan on maining without me telling you, you don't know me well enough.
... Sans "actually" being Ness is a meme now? Really? Memes these days get more and more disappointing.
As a small platform, yeah, he could. But Dedede's much smaller than even the tinier planets in Galaxy.
I agree that saying this in Q1 '16 is pointless when we can do nothing about it until Q4.Speaking of Sun and Moon:
There was a problem fetching the tweet
Why are you taunting me with this Nintendo?
Posting this on the day that Pokeichi airs in Japan, out of the blue when we got nothing on the game in corocoro or even after it's announcement!
Stop trying to make me think we are getting info soon...
Well they gotta keep us on the edge of our seats until whenever a trailer actually comes out.Speaking of Sun and Moon:

They will probably either prevent them or fix them, such as correcting over leveled pokemon.I agree that saying this in Q1 '16 is pointless when we can do nothing about it until Q4.
But I am still curious how the stuff you can get from glitches will be handled when connecting to Pokémon Bank.
They should just cut out the middle man and gives us the trailer right away! It would still be hype!Well they gotta keep us on the edge of our seats until whenever a trailer actually comes out.
As mentioned before, you'll get action commands after you get through the prologue. TTYD fixes that though and you automatically start out with them (As well as your hammer).I dunno how reasonable having Luma transform into a planet would be in Smash.
Ridley fans might call bull if they did.
Yeah I am feeling the drag of the beginning. I was expecting this game to have Attack inputs, but I'm assuming that's a TTYD or Mario & Luigi thing now.
Also, I've actually already played Super Paper Mario, which is why I have an interest in the others. I personally love that game too. I actually generally prefer action RPGs to turn-based RPGs so it's a natural fit for me.
Also, I have a question - are there stat caps in Paper Mario? Like can I theoretically only upgrade my HP stat, and never the others? Or is there a cap for each? I know the Level Cap is 27, but I'm wondering if each stat has a cap so you can't just upgrade endlessly, or if it's entirely up to you to balance them.
Which is why I think it will be interesting to see what the result is.
Still hoping for missingno to become cannon....
TTYD has a much higher level cap of 99, and the stats max at 200/200/99, which I suppose are high enough that the average player wouldn't think about them. Personally I find the caps obnoxious because you can't hit all of them at max level, and BP (objectively the best stat) still has a fairly reachable cap. Still a marked improvement from the first game's, at least.As mentioned before, you'll get action commands after you get through the prologue. TTYD fixes that though and you automatically start out with them (As well as your hammer).
Paper Mario is also the only one with a level cap (Which I thought was level 30). As you get through the game, weaker enemies will drop less star points and eventually none. There's no reason to really max out your level cap as the game doesn't get that hard (That doesn't mean you shouldn't fight enemies and level up obviously). I'd recommend just balancing out each stat as you level up (HP, FP, then badge points, then you do it over again).
Leveling up HP only isn't a good idea though, since FP and badge points are really useful and with the limited amount you'll have, it makes the game harder than it should be (Talking from experience). However, if there's one stat that's great to max out, it's badge points. There's a lot of different badge set ups you can do later in the game that add to battles (Especially the badges that allow you to do more damage at low health, those are hard to pull off, yet also work really well).
TTYD gets rid of the level cap I'm pretty sure. I would want to go on about certain aspects abut TTYD and it's battle system, but I'd rather wait for you to experience the game first.
As if the amount of footage shown and info disclosed before a game's release was still relevant in gaming industry nowadays. See The Last Guardian, Horizon: Zero Dawn, Zelda Wii U (even if only the latter has a launch window for itself and for us to base ourselves on atm). They could as well be released in two months with no further footage revealed pre-launch and that'd be fine. At most, they've got, each, around a total of six minutes of footage in the three past years or something. If that were to happen, would you label that 'bad marketing/advertising/promoting'? I wouldn't. In fact, I'd be glad if Nintendo stopped following the pattern of smothering us with 90% of a game's content before it even launches. There wasn't much left to imagination for SSB4 one month or so before its release, and following that trend, Hyrule Warriors, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Mario Maker, Fire Emblem Fates, Yoshi's Wooly World (etc.), I feel as if the near entirety of their content had been shoved down my throat before anyone even got a chance to see them standing on the shelves of their local stores, due to how Nintendo overpromoted them with trailers and whatnot.Yeah, I sort of have this gut feeling that Gen 7 is going to be a tad rushed for that reason. How little they've shared for a game coming in less than a year, when we got a plethora of footage and info on X and Y when the game had a larger gap to go along with it.

Armor Undyne>Casual Trash UndyneIn other news, I thought this was hilarious.
What stats are you looking for? Pair-up stats or children stats? Also, what are your Boon and Bane?I'm playing M!Corrin now but I have no idea who to marry
I'm trying to focus more on stats so Felicia seems good enough(Corrin really needs that Mag and Res and her personal skill only works with him anyway)
Which reminds me
Felicia>>>>>Jakob
Pair Up onesWhat stats are you looking for? Pair-up stats or children stats? Also, what are your Boon and Bane?
Yeah, let's leave that to game theory.It actually doesn't seem like they suppress it, but I don't want to get into that stuff here.
Hey, you're the one who put that option there Toby. :VIn other news, I thought this was hilarious.
Yeah, it's pretty hard. I had 10+ resets on Chapter 9 and I'm still doing Chpt. 10. The first time, I was doing pretty well with 9 turns but then an Oni Savage 2% crits me.I started a Conquest Hard playthrough(because lol no money for the other routes) and gods, this is way harder
And I'm still on Chapter 8
Chapter 7 is bull**** incarnated because Poison Strike and its variations are the most broken skill in enemy hands
Having Odin as a Samurai this time, didn't know he could reclass into one(nice callback though) and thank god Raider Katana is a thing
I just can't wait to see how Chapter 10 is /s
Yes, Cannon can be his Back Signature move. Using science so complicated, it causes all of the opposing pokemon's stats to drop.
Now why would you want that?
But seriously, Missingno. is much more complicated in data/details unlike normal Pokémon due to the fact its information is different depending on three things: 1) The region/language of the game, 2) The game Version, & 3) The fact that there are 39 data slots named Missingno. inside each game.
There's a lot of contradictions on data due to those things:
I can't see Missingno. happening unless they put very strict correcting actions.
- Its height is 3'03" and weight is 22.1 lbs. in Japanese whereas its height is 10'00" and weight is 3,507.2 lbs. in English
- It's type is Bird/Normal in Green/Red/Blue but Normal/999 in Yellow
- The Fossil & Ghost forms of Missingno. don't follow the data (stats, moveset, etc,) of normal form but instead from the last Pokémon in your party
- Normal Missingno.'s base stats, movest, and more are different between Green/Red/Blue vs. Yellow
- Yellow Missingno. is extremely unsafe, causing crashing or getting stuck
- Some of the multiple Missingno. slots have different cries from each other.
With a HP Boon and Luck Bane, your Corrin is pretty balanced. Basically, you can practically pair him up with anybody, so yeah, Felicia would work.Pair Up ones
I don't plan on using the children(really only used Forrest and benched Soleil after falling behind the first time)
I know Charlotte is the perfect pair up for Xander so that's already decided
I feel like Effie is a good one for most since she boosts Str and Def, might get her with Niles(as his Def is really bad and more Str never hurts)
Benny might be useful too for a female unit
My M!Corrin has HP(I heard more HP really helps in the higher difficulties) for boon and Luck for bane(really, Luck is the most useles stat in the entire franchise)
I feel soooooooo bad for Swamp&co as they'll be seen as a knockoff most likelywell now

this is intresting seeing as swamp and co are working on something similar
Ness and Lucas have reflectors, FsmashReflectors -
Counters -
So, let's seeWith a HP Boon and Luck Bane, your Corrin is pretty balanced. Basically, you can practically pair him up with anybody, so yeah, Felicia would work.
For Benny, if he doesn't have Wary Fighter yet, giving him a female unit for Spd can prevent him from being doubled early on. His Pair-up stats are useful for a female who needs Def and Str. Maybe Selena would work well for him?
Swamp Senseiwell now

If you're not going to focus on Crit!Odin, then Peri or Beruka would work for Odin, as both give Odin Str and Def. That being said, Beruka would give some additional Skl, Def and Lck for Odin while Peri would give Odin more Str, Spd and Res. If Odin's Spd is doing good, Beruka would work for him. If Odin needs more Spd and Res though, Peri would be good for him.So, let's see
EffieXNiles
CorrinXFelicia
SelenaXBenny
CharlotteXXander
What is a good pair up for Samurai!Odin then?
Ugh, I just remembered I want to use Shura, I'll have to settle with a A support with Corrin then
Is Beruka worth using? And do A+ supports give the same bonus as S rank ones?
ALRIGHT! WHICH ONE OF YOU ***** SOLD US OUT?well now

Hard to say...Eh.
That's focusing more on horror icons and a dark vibe.. We're focusing on mythology and cryptology and have a much lighter vibe.
You guys think that's still too close?
