One use TMs are back

Why

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

Just hack into the code and steal premium for free

or just be a God Speculator like me and get a free year lmao

 

[Will]

Reddit & Pokemon is arguably the most toxic combination

Nah, just the Pokemon GO Reddit community, because they actually go outside.

take me Marvel

 

[Pokelego999]

Why

There's a lot more reasons. Apparently there's a lot of bugs and glitches, and people are still pissy over the music and lack of Megas and ****.


I'm praying to all heck that they kept at least the Distortion World so my entire feed isn't flooded with people saying that Pokemon is worse than EA.

 

[TheMightyP]

How so?

They overhyped the hell out of BDSP, and now it's coming back to bite them.

It turns out, faithful remakes to D&P meant faithful remakes to D&P.

What do you mean there's no Battle Frontier? Don't worry guys, I'm sure it'll be unlocked once you finish the game and catch Heatran, believe me guys!

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

How so?

People getting up in arms because the remakes are, in fact, largely faithful to the original Diamond and Pearl games, which means none of the improvements that Platinum made.

At all. People had some hope for things to be okay but **** this is bad.

 

[cashregister9]

Turns out a game that is advertised as a Remake of Diamond and Pearl

Is a remake of Diamond and Pearl

EDIT:

 

[Pokelego999]

Only thing I'm really pissed about is the limited use TMs cause I mean why

 

[Noipoi]

I can understand if BDSP isn’t your cup of tea, and that’s not to say it can’t be criticized-

But you can tell exactly what it is just by looking at it. I don’t understand the surprise from some crowds lol

Megas? Really??

If there were Megas, you feel they would have been shown by now.


Unless they intend for us to use all 4 Megas as the postgame.

 

[Noipoi]

Alright leakers

Check Mindy

 

[TheMightyP]

Being upset that it's not the Platinum updates is valid.

That said, r/Pokeleaks is pissy about things that were probably never gonna be in the game and yet they somehow hyped themselves up for that

I'm just waiting for the datamine cause if BDSP and Legends Arceus have connectivity, than that means we may see those regional forms in BDSP's code.

KillerCage !

If they're available, I'll try to have their AMA sometime tommorow. If that won't work, we can figure a time that'll work better

I should be available tomorrow around 1;00 pm Eastern Time onward.
I will be heading to bed early tomorrow as I got work the following morning.
EDIT: Also

 

[Will]

okay thinking back on it maybe a demon skull may not be the wisest

tell me what avatar is the coolest (if its the demon skull ngl you'd be right but i gotta be sure)

Spoiler

 

[TheMightyP]

Also, the leaker did trade like half of his team to himself so like half the team earns double xp as a result (because traded mons earn that much more) but they wanna blame the odd level scaling to exp share when it's probably balanced.

The demon skull is the coolest

But I’m going with the second one cuz one of the little creatures looks like a devolved Homer Simpson.

 

[Shroob]

I mean just tho


Why one use TMs no one liked that feature and it was such an improvement why go back

 

[TheMightyP]

Also, it's time we admit it:

Megas are never coming back.

Ever.

 

[Noipoi]

Faithful Remake

Gotta be faithful

Even if it diminishes the experience gotta be faithful


Even though they kept other modern QoL improvements goddamnit we gotta be faithful

 

[Will]

Also, it's time we admit it:

Megas are never coming back.

Ever.

They slaughtered a perfectly blossoming mechanic idea and then shamed everyone who was having fun for it by making it torture in the lore.

That and they have max affection, effectively quadrupling EXP.

Yes they are. In the gen 6 remakes in 2029.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

these poster reveal evolutions tho

they are just tiny little creatures

90% of DGD's albums have the same artist who plasters a ****ton of these animals on their album covers and the artwork is always super nice to look at.

 

[Pokelego999]

Night boards smash good.

 

[ZephyrZ]

I binged all of Amphibia. It's alright.

"Alright" is technically a positive opinion so I'll let this slide but you're on thin ice buddy.


Jk, I don't actually care that much if other people don't like my shows.

Yeah man, I really like it. The coloring is really comfy. And I like the artstyle too.

To be fair to people hoping for Megas, there was the Mega Lucario merchandise that started circulating a week or two ago. I don't think it was an entirely unreasonable hope to have, even if it was always a long shot.

It should've ended when it was pretty much revealed it was for the anime, but they just did not give up.

 

[Noipoi]

yo why tf this Cerberus boss so hard?

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

It should've ended when it was pretty much revealed it was for the anime, but they just did not give up.

The anime often ties in to the games though, so again I don't think it was too far of a hope to have.

At the very least it's not as unreasonable as y'all here are making it out to be.

 

[TheMightyP]

yo why tf this Cerberus boss so hard?

Two words

ATT-ACK

 

[TheCJBrine]

I get being a faithful remake, but I don’t think being faithful means they have to leave out some QoL stuffs and be 100% faithful, especially when they’re making some improvements and not being 100% faithful anyway…

One-use TMs don’t help balance imo, the infinite-use ones were perfectly fine and that way you don’t have to go back to buy more or, you know, get disappointed when you can’t find anymore of a certain TM because it’s not sold in the marts :S

The lack of Platinum’s stuff is weird too if there’s not gonna be any DLC or anything, but I’ll still have fun.

iirc the music should be fine but idk I only heard what was in the trailers and one updated track on Twitter.

 

[TheMightyP]

That said, the single use TMs are bs, idk why they brought that back because it doesn't make the game any harder or really anything.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

The return of TMs is an objectively bad decision and are my only complaint about this.

Oh well, guess Bidoof will finally be relevant again, at least.

And like, you can't even say "Faithful recreation" because now NPCs give you multiple of them.


You had a system in place to fix this
And you went back to a defunct one

 

[TheMightyP]

Here's where it gets odd:

HMs are nonexistant. They been 100% replaced. So bidoof isn't relevant anymore... or... I guess you can run an all Bidoof team
