osby osby Noipoi Noipoi @Wademan94 Cutie Gwen Cutie Gwen Dutch Raikuna Dutch Raikuna Lamperouge Lamperouge @Speed Weed yo sorry for the masstag but I really wanted to check on feedback regarding something.

So yeah, my birthday is coming up in less than 2 months and there's a problem: there's too much stuff coming out before It even happens.
So yeah, I do feel the need to make a selection and while I do know what non-videogame stuff I want, I feel that I may need some feedback regarding videogames, as I'm thinking about choosing just three.
So yeah, thought I could share the stuff I'm most interested in at the moment and maybe ya'll could tell me which ones do ya'll feel would be more worth It. Anyone else who I didn't tag is also free to bring up any feedback too.

And before anyone asks: I'm not putting Dread or the amiibo as I'm buying those at launch day (my mother is helping me out with that).


This one I want It mostly just because I haven't played a Monkey Ball game before and the character roster is really interesting

This one I want for similar reasons as Monkey Ball, but also because I see a lot of hype for this franchise between Discord circles I'm in. I heard It plays similar to XC which I liked so yeah

This one is because I already have the other two LEGO Marvel titles and I always wanted to try out this one. Apparently It comes with the DLC included so that's cool.

This one is because I really liked No More Heroes 1 and this new one seems to be packed with a lot of cool content. The visual artstyle is also cool.

This one I want because I really liked the story in Yakuza Like A Dragon and apparently this one has a lot of parkour and movement shenanigans which I quite enjoy.
Not sure if I have to play the game before to understand It doh, that would be a sort of problem as I can't find its physical version anywhere (for PS4 that is).

So yeah, those are all the games which release before my birthday and I'm interested in. Take all the needed time ya'll may need to help me out.
Super Monkey Ball is extremely fun
Tales of Arise has a demo up on PS4 right now so play that and see if you like it or not, these games can really vary in quality, like Zestiria was mediocre but Berseria was excellent so I'd wait and see if you're still uncertain after the demo
Lego Marvel Super Heroes is the best Lego game imo
If you liked NMH1 then 3 should be a good get, if you haven't played 2 then get to it
I'd say just bite the bullet and go digital for Judgment if you really want to play the first one, it's one of the best Yakuza style games too imo.

Tales of Arise and Monkey Ball.

Tales is a great series and of itself. I've followed for seven years now and been impressed in one form or another every step of the way. I'd recommend getting Berseria or Vesperia first if you want to experience the pre-new tone. Both are cheap as chips and Vesperia is on sale on PSN right now.

Monkey Ball is a great series and Banana Mania looks super fun. However I wouldn't maybe get at full-full price but like a €10 off sort of thing.

I haven't read the Diamond and Pearl arc of the Pokémon Adventures manga yet, but I wonder how they'll handle Legends there, if at all.
They had a massive Legendary Battle Royale in short.
It was the Lake Guardians, Shaymin, Manaphy, Cresselia, Regigigas, and Rotom working to free Dialga and Palkia against Heatran, Darkrai, and Giratina controlled by Charon.

Also reminder there is one more new Pokémon we don’t know about:
View attachment 326810

I have no idea what this could be, but considering the other leaked silhouettes were for braviary and wryndeer, this has to be a new Pokémon evolution or new form perhaps.
Honestly?

It kinda reminds me of Nuzleaf becahse of the head tuft.

my office, probably

This description sounds like a child playing with their Pokémon toys to make up a story and I love it. It's part of the appeal of the manga imo.
I need to get around to reading it one day. I got the box set so I have every volume, I just don't have time and there's so many other manga/comics I need to catch up on.

I don't see quite what's wrong with turn based battles
I just really want an action RPG Pokemon spinoff like FF7R or P5S
I mean, there was new stuff there. It's not step by step if it's adding on new things to the original.
I suppose that's true. I was moreso talking about them revealing the names of the professor or the first gym leader like we didn't already know them just to pad out time. But yeah, there were a few new things in there.
Why the spongebob cops?

Like a Kamen Rider looking Ledian fits the look of that Pokémon imo. Or an evolution.

Give it taller legs and arms, make the antenna into on and have it more arched, and it would match that image well. Plus make sense for a bug fighting evolution.

I'm not familiar with the first two games you mentioned, but I can get you on that.

These two concepts actually capture the idea well:

So apparently Turtwig used leafage in the trailer.

Leafage wasn't a thing intil Gen 7, so new moves are indeed comimg back for BDSP.

Edit: and Movepools are updated as well since Turtwig couldn't use it before.
Cynthia’s Garchomp gettin wrecked by Moonblast.


Guys, the fish pokemon in Hisui region looks great, right?
Well, I like it.
Basculegion is based yes

Also Stantler needed the love for sure.

But come on, let’s get that Dunsparce evolution!

there’s so much potential and so many cool type combos, I just want it to get the love it deserves.

And then give it to Ash in the anime, since he’s tried to catch one twice now.

This may be a hot take but I never found Cynthia to be that hard (in Platinum and Diamond that is, I don't remember how hard she was in Gen 5).

Granted I did use my Typlossion from HGSS which had quite a good chunk of levels against her, but even without It I still didn't find the battle as hard as people say.

For NMHIII, you'll need to have played NMHII and Travis Strikes Again to get a full understanding of it which I assume you haven't, so I'd say it can get scratched off the list until then, as for Lost Judgement, it's not an RPG like Yakuza 7 but the traditional Yakuza beat em up style, so you should keep that in mind if you pick it

She's very difficult without overleveling or getting full counters to everything.
Spiritomb's lack of weaknesses, Milotic's bulk, Lucario and Roserade's mix of speed and offense, and Garchomp are all hard to deal with.

Their movepools were annoying too. Spiritomb prevented healing with Embargo and had the Omni boost move Ominous Wind and Silver Wind, Milotic had Grass coverage in Ice Beam and Mirror Coat to punish special attackers, Lucario had coverage to boot, Roserade has utility, and Garchomp covered a lot of bases.

Oh and Gastrodon exists.
That was never a problem.

The main mojo of Regional evolutions is pretty much make underused or overlooked Pokemon and give them life again, which is a stark contrast to Mega evos where they just gave already popular Pokemon even more noticability.
I mean, say that to Banette, Beedrill, or Audino, among others.
