Oh yeah, there's no doubt that whatever will come next will be better than SWSH on a technical standpoint considering that the assets are all there
A lot of people are gonna have high expectations for gen 9, and I don’t blame them, but for me I really just need to see three things.

Better graphics

A story that isn’t stupid

And you can’t really tell what the stories gonna be from the first few trailers, so I guess I just need to see two things.

We're getting the first two no doubt, considering the Wild Area is something they really want to pound in lately, and it doesn't feel like a Gimmick that comes and goes like Dynamax, which they just gave up halfway through the generation.

after all these years...I can still never be able to look at the face of Rey Mysterio without his mask on

I'm just too damn used to him with a mask on

I don't think we'll see Gen 9 'till next year, though. They've been on a roll with one set of remakes every gen for a while now, so my best guess is Diamond and Pearl will finally get acknowledgement they exist this year.
Definitely not seeing gen 9 till next year.

Ive been flip flopping on D/P remakes or Let’s Go Johto this year. Or maybe it’s something nobody thought of.

if Atlus were to know better for their newest of anniversaries for Persona...they would force Smash to add in another rep


since that won't likely happen...but if it did...and besides the GOATED Makoto Niijima/Queen...who would y'all pick to represent the Persona/SMT franchise alongside Joker?

Probably the protag from the upcoming SMTV

I also thought I'd mention Let's Go is very underrated. Much better than SWSH in every way.
Kind of my thoughts. I enjoyed my Let's Go playthough a lot more than my SwSh playthough. Easily the best version of Kanto and a fantastic OST.

Demi-fiend is the most logical choice.

I mean yeah. And I would love to make games. But it's also like... not as special? Like... if you make a game yourself, you know everything about it already ya know? There's no discovery, there's no fresh experience.
The special experience comes from creating it and imagining the joy on people's faces as they experience it for the first time.

The discovery's in the creative process. The entire development is your fresh experience of that game. Sure you may not be able to 'play' the game from a fresh perspective and developing video games is a different journey compared to actually playing them but that doesn't make it any less rewarding.

I suppose. It's just not the same.

Was thinking about your SEGA Racing game, and I had a thought. Why not have Axel and Blaze share a kart instead of having just Blaze?

Of course its not the same. YOU are the creative drive behind the project. It is YOUR world, everyone else is just a guest.
I mean like... I wanna know if people actually play the games they make themselves beyond like... play testing. Because unless it’s a rogue like... I just can’t see a game I made myself getting on to my all time favorites list or becoming one of my happy places, no matter the quality. I don’t think I could get the kind of experience I want out of a game I made myself.

Let's Go was cute and all but it was as barebones as Pokemon gets. It was just Red/Blue again but with motion controls no somehow even less content then the previous Kanto remakes.

At least SwSh had raid battles and online matchmaking, as well as some cool new pokemon designs. I wouldn't say Lets Go was better in "every way".

Yeah, Ive put many hours into games I've made. It's normal.

Plus, making a video game is the best "game" of them all imo. While I like playing video games quite a bit, making them is even more fun. That experience (which takes far longer than simply playing just about any game) can be enjoyed even if afterward you didn't wanna play your game a whole ton.

I don’t know. I just... don’t know. It doesn’t make sense to me to craft, say, a platformer, and then be able to get any enjoyment out of it myself. I already know how to do everything and I am obviously skilled enough to get through it. I know the story already too so... why would I play it?

I still can’t believe Grey Griffin will be in WandaVision...


...I also can’t believe Mary Jane Watson remembers the Marvel 616 timeline before OMD and has to suffer cause of it

You make a game (or anything really) for the joy of creation, and for others to play it. The enjoyment comes from bringing something new, something of your own into the world and watching people enjoy it. Ya numpty.

DRAW THIS AGAIN.png


I decided to take this challenge with a VERY old piece I made when studying my career, in the Mixed Media Class...a class I didn't like in the slightest, and I have that same sentiment towards the old piece. So I decided to remake it today as my first drawing of 2021.

Well then the common sentiment of “if you don’t like the games that are coming out then make them yourself” is kind of void then isn’t it.

I probably shouldn't be answering this since I've only played P4G and P5R, but I'll answer anyway. I think Yu Narukami and Goro Akechi would be pretty cool Smash fighters. I also think Yosuke Hanamura would be a great Joker echo.

Well yes and no.

But mostly yes.

The statement has some truth in it. Be the change you want to see in the world and all that.

But most people just use it as a way to shut people up.
