Someone either at or using my works ip address keeps getting banned on 4chan for posting racism. I think it might be intentional since I go out of my way to argue against racists on /v/

Please be true, please be true.

Though I don't trust Nintendo Everything greatly as a site, I need another of my dream games come true.

Also in regards to the sword and shield graphics and complaints, keep in mind GF now operate out of Nintendo headquarters. I would not be surprised if this was so Nintendo could help in house to make the games in future have a smoother and better development. While also addressing problems people have with modern day Pokémon games and not just Sword and Shield, because it be even easier money.
This pretty much sums up how I feel about Pokemon atm.

Honestly, I'm pretty hopeful things are gonna only get better: I doubt the move-in with Nintendo HQ was just for laughs and giggles. Will things improve dramatically and everything the fanbase ever wanted will happen next game? Absolutely not, but I imagine things like the graphics and PokeDex issues will be solved sooner rather than later.

Om a scale from 1-5 seconds, how short?
5 seconds, 1/10 if I had to give a rating.

Seriously, look at Max reaction here.
Like, for all the problems Ultimate has, having trailers that, you know, show stuff & make you excited for the game/characters isn't one of it's problems, far from of it in fact.

I mean, this isn’t a big jump. Pretty much everyone was guessing this.

But yeah, it’d be rad if this is real.

How much are graphics going to be solved when a lot of it was done by Creatures and not Game Freak?

To my knowledge, Creatures only provides the models themselves, which are fine. The main issue is how those models are being used, IMO.

Things like animation and all that jazz could receive help from internal Nintendo staff now, heck, maybe even Monolith could help out: Nintendo loves throwing them onto projects. :p

Guess they got inspiration from the Catwoman Basketball scene with the amount of jump cuts.

So yeah, I dwelled on the Pokemon Warriors idea, and I think a solid roster would be this:
Eevee
Charizard
Squirtle
Pikachu
Jigglypuff
Gengar
Mewtwo
Chikorita
Togekiss
Heracross
Tyranitar
Blaziken
Metagross
Plusle and Minun
Gardevoir
Snorlax
Lucario
Rotom
Zoroark
Greninja
Aegislash
Incineroar
Melmetal
Necrozma
Cinderace
Toxtricity
Sirfetch'd
The enemies would definitely be varied, but I'll have to put a story together for that.

I'm guessing that Wandavision is gonna want to have a "baby yoda", some sort of cool callback that makes people NEED to watch. Here's my bold prediction for who will show up somewhere in the show: Ultron.

If i'm right, please don't let me know so i can go into this show as blind as possible

Yeah, but it's the spring form, yet again.

Press F for the seasonal deer's gimmick.
Yeah... One of the neat aspects of the deer gets locked to one generation and they never bothered to include a way to allow future players to get it despite doing the same for other mechanic locked features like Milotic. It also doesn't help that Spring form isn't even the best one, so it's just more salt in the wound for it to be the only one that gets used.

Small write-up incoming.

Problem with Pokémon for me at the minute is that it didn't really do a grand jump to Switch as to when Mario, Zelda and Fire Emblem did, it just felt more baby steps that I've been seeing since X and Y. Comparing it to Three Houses, Mario Odyssey, Breath of the Wild, Smash Bros Ultimate, New Horizons which made grand jumps and become some of the best in their series and GOTY nominated at least, it was extremely disappointing.

It's part of why I've always seen Pokemon as kinda strange in gaming. It's a franchise that I'm so surprised has not been nominated for GOTY or won multiple awards but it sells really well. I see it as a JRPG but I don't see as one of the big series in a way as I do to Final Fantasy, Xenoblade and Persona. It's like it's own section, just there but not part of the line-up. And honestly until the series really starts stepping up it's game in certain ways like the graphics issues I won't really see it as like the ones I've mentioned.

I'd be over the moon if this year if we had something like the Pokemon Diamond/Pearl Remakes in which it was a grand step in graphics, gameplay, interactivity and ended up being nominated for GOTY up against the likes of Horizon Forbidden West, Halo Infinite, Resident Evil Village etc. It'd be amazing.

Until then it's just a weird sheep of a franchise in my eyes.

Now obviously I wasn’t there so I don’t know what happened, but my personal theory is that sw/sh started development as a 3DS game, and development shifted to the switch later on. It could explain why the games feel smaller scale. We have it on record that overworld encounters were only implemented after people reacted positively to the overworld encounters in let’s go.

Like I said, it’s just a theory.

I just beat Final fantasy 7 remake.

...I', immensely confused but caustiously optimistic.

That's because it's not in the same genre as the Final fantasy and Xeno games.

It's a monster catching game, that's technically a different genre, which technically Persona falls into.

It's hard to explain but I see your point on that. Monster Catching is said to be like a different sub-genre.

My contact who leaked me the announcement of Skate 4 has told me that the next Smash Bros fighter is Joe.

"Quick! Call in THE LAWYERS!"

Door bursts open and people in Nintendo themed FBI gear surround him

"Take him to the Lavender Town Room!"

NO! He screams.

And that my friends is the theory of how radio signals transmitted into the Pokemon Tower are cries of people from other worlds. Thus connecting Pokemon to ours.

Do you guys think the next fighter is going to be a highly expected character (ex.: Dante, Crash, Lloyd) or a completely obscure one (ex.: Rash, Ezio, Axel Stone)?
There is a very high possibility that it is a character someone, somewhere, may have possibly been anticipating but maybe not.

Possibly.
