Also two other predictions:
DP remakes bring megas back

Regional forms will be included with no official national dex but all Pokémon will be available with its release.

Not sure on the underground but I hope it-returns

My daily doodle went along pretty well today

drawing front facing perspectives is a ***** though, took me a few tries before I was happy with the result

 

[TheMightyP]

How much did you overlevel, even I had difficulties with Ghetsis and N.

Alder though? Yeah he's easy because of his terrible team building.

I was around the same level iirc. Like, I legit didn't have trouble with either of them.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

Spoiler: Persona 5 Strikers

I got to anime Tony stark in P5S, i like how his voice actor is trying to kinda sound like the voice actor who plays the cartoon Tony stark in the Disney Marvel cartoons.

Yeah, he's meant to be since you fight him right after N with no breaks iirc.

This is also implying you have the legendary in your party.

I mean N is also kinda a hard fight so you'll probably be out of or low on potions by the time you Ghetsis.

Yeah, N was definitely harder than Ghetsis, I agree on that.

Watch the underground return, but just be local wireless only, like the original games.

Honestly, online underground would be my most wanted feature. Never had a friend who played D/P, so I never got to experience most of the features.

The problem isn't that Pokemon's become too easy. Its that its laughably easy, to the point it just insults your intelligence. I don't feel compelled to try to figure anything out in these games because they purposely stick the answer in your face without giving you the opportunity to even think about it.

 

[TheMightyP]

I'm betting on Unite news, and...

Yeah,

 

[Noipoi]

Totem Battles could be tricky, I liked em.

Oh yeah and a Pokémon Presentation tomorrow. What a surprise

Even as someone who purposely tries to find ways to make the games I play as easy as possible(whether that is through glitches, exploits, or just raw automation) the Pokemon games are so laughably easy trying to do any of that is completely pointless because you're already going to stomp through most of the game anyway.

 

[Aurane]

I remember fighting Ghetsis for the first time and seeing him send out his Hydreigon. I think it was the first time I've ever seen a Hydreigon. And you didn't have Fairies back then, so you had to fight this three headed king **** that you later find out doesn't actually evolve at the level Ghetsis has it.

Ah, those were the days.

Gen 7 did legit get hard at points, like Lusamine took me a while to beat because all her Pokemon had the broken modifiers that also burnt the 3DS with all the particles.

Doesn't help that Hydregion got ****ed the next gen so the novelty wore off fast.

I don't feel compelled to try to figure anything out in these games because they purposely stick the answer in your face without giving you the opportunity to even think about it.

It's why I like Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh so much. You have to figure out where to go most of the time. It's much more rewarding figuring out something yourself than having the game do it for you.

 

[TheMightyP]

Interestingly, I think Sinnoh and Kalos both have the same issues, with being kinda large yet empty and boring worlds that, tbh, is a step down from the more sprawling and robust world that came before it.

The main difference is that Sinnoh got an enhanced version that fixed that, whereas Kalos is still empty and boring.

 

[DerpingPikachu]

The newer Pokemon Games certainly are a lot easier. Last I played was Ultra Moon and I'm pretty sure I beat the Champion in one go. I just remember the end being a lot more intense in the old games and I was actually like super proud when I finally won lol

 

[TheMightyP]

I will agree though, Gen 8 is definitely the easist. I only had trouble with Leon because his type coverage and Pokemon are actually really good, but aside from that, it was a steamroll.

The DLC is actually challenging though, esoecially the Crown Tundra which has Pokemon well into the level 80s.

 

[Deleted member]

People (rightfully) criticize the modern games for being easy, but looking back, the seeds can already be seen in Gen 5, where you got a free elemental monkey that's strong against the first gym, as well as free healing on routes from doctors.

And then came BW2 with simultaneously the best and worst idea in the franchise history, difficulty selection. Who the hell had the bright idea of not only making it post-game, but version exclusive as well? Like, what the ****? It's been nearly 8 years and I still don't get it. And instead of improving upon that idea, Game Freak pulled a Game Freak and just removed it completely. Good job, guys.

 

[Deleted member]

why do these two fit together so well??

 

[TheMightyP]

Pokemon: Irritating Stick

 

[drag0nscythe]

We need another megaman rep.

 

[Mellowy Yellow]

On today's episode of WHAT THE **** IS FILE COMPRESSION?

Activision has warned that the base 500GB PS4 may no longer fit all of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Warzone's content:https://t.co/l4dKGLVKWW pic.twitter.com/dVvPwKyUjV

I'm curious why they didn't design the tail to look more like Pikachu's actual tail. Design constraints maybe?

Pokemon Z's cancellation really ****ed up the whole generation.

I'm...uh... just gonna assume that's a typo...

 

[Hadokeyblade]

We need another megaman rep.

Protoman and Bass would have made perfect echoes.

 

[KingBooGengar57]

Protoman and Bass would have made perfect echoes.

They're in Mega's final smash so... no.

 

[Deleted member]

Oh hey the Kingsisle Live is today. Didn't even know that.

Now please just tell me that we're getting updates relatively soon.... I don't want to have to spend money on memberships if I don't have to.

 

[Deleted member]

They're in Mega's final smash so... no.

They could've been excluded from Mega's Final Smash so... yes. Also Chrom exists.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

They're in Mega's final smash so... no.

Protoman literally has the same moveset as Megaman but he has a shield on top of that, i think it would have been perfect.

definitely would have prefered him over Dark Samus TBH

 

[Wademan94]

This is modern Pokemon we're talking about, of course she won't be difficult.

She won't be though, kids don't have the patience for it according to Gamefreak.

Can y’all just let me hope please?

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Planteras theme has no right to slap so hard

 

[Wademan94]

We need another megaman rep.

X or Proto Man echo

Protoman literally has the same moveset as Megaman but he has a shield on top of that, i think it would have been perfect.

I think Proto Man should adapt some of the custom moves from the last game into his moveset

 

[Hadokeyblade]

Can y’all just let me hope please?

Hope is one thing, diludding yourself is another.

X or Proto Man echo




I think Proto Man should adapt some of the custom moves from the last game into his moveset

That is also a good option.

 

[Z25]

In other words we have no leaks and only know of the most obvious thing possible:

We're not going to spoil more from the Pokémon Presents tomorrow.

If, like last week's Direct, contents are leaked by a known insider, we will put them in an external link with a spoiler warning.

i mean ewe all know that a lot of companys indirectly kill kids but for example nestle is much more direct

 

[Pokelego999]

A thing of beauty, the internet is.

 

[Roguewolf]

I'm...uh... just gonna assume that's a typo...

You haven’t heard about Nintendo’s penchant for murdering your garden variety child?

where have you been the 80s where child murder wasn’t allowed?

 

[TheMightyP]

In other words we have no leaks and only know of the most obvious thing possible:

Wait, Pokemon ISN'T leaking?
Something's not right here...
