Social The Social Thread 3.2.2 - Switch 2 Hype Time!

[TheMightyP]

I keep getting Master Balls and Beast Balls from the Lotto.


Which is great but

I've finished the dex already

And there aren't any Ultra Beasts in Gen 9

Not yet

 

[Shroob]

Not yet

As much as I wish that were the case, I think they're kinda, done after Pecharunt.


Hopefully they fix some bugs tho cause there's a bug with one of the new TMs in that you can only craft it with Violet exclusive drops.

 

[Wario Bros.]

I finally turned the Shantae fan comic, "Shantae: Wrath of the Djinn" into an eComic file (well, where the author stopped at before going on hiatus)

Will read it down the road, once Shantae: Advance: Risky Revolution is closer to release.

I think they may have tricks up their sleeve on Gen 9 beyond the whole Pecharunt sidequest. Maybe not major stuff but more mons in raids is something they always do.

I'm
Doubtful on that lol.


That'd basically require an update to include new 'mon data. Doable, but they also have a decent list of Pokemon they can pull from that are transferrable into Scar/Vio but not natively obtainable like the Wolves or the Regis.

Ya'll ain't ready for 5 weeks of back to back Regi raids with version exclusive Regieleki/Drago and ending on a 7* Regigigas raid.

If not that then I would imagine they want to give every mon an updated model (aka not the 3DS textures) and into a Switch game in some way. Idk how much are remaining left but I would imagine the last few will get in somehow, whether that be here or whatever they do with Unova.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Hearing that Rosalina was revealed as a newcomer for Smash 4 nine years ago already just made me feel old.

Realizing that this video released ten years ago made me feel even older.

And Fallen Kingdom is even older than this.

Well, the only 'mons currently not available on a Switch title as of now are like

The elemental monkeys
Patrat line
And Furfrou


.....It's alright maybe we can just leave those ones behind.

Well good thing the Gen 5 remakes/sequels/farming sim/adults only game is coming, so we'll get two of these.

Poor Furfrou fans though

Pokémon Legends: Palpitoad that also happens to feature a new Furfrou form

 

[Shroob]

There is something 'weird' that keeps cropping up on the shadier side of the fanbase.


While I'm not giving them too much credit, leakers like Riddler keep bringing up a "Paradox Unova" remake.



I have NO idea what that could even mean.

Maybe one version takes place in Unova’s past and the other in Unova’s future? The games already had a very slight past & future theme, just look at Opelucid City.

And it’d force people to buy both versions

Finally, the newest Paradox Pokemon we were denied gets its chance.


Big Apple.

Don’t forget Alolan Ratata and Alolan Raticate (I think they’re in Let’s Go but not a Gen 8 or 9 game so I’m counting it) and Spinda (in BDSP but can’t be transferred in or out because bug so I’m counting it as not in any game)

 

[TheMightyP]

It's really just a matter of Creatures Inc updating all the Pokemon models so they they're properly textured and detailed. Like I'm gonna assume all are gonna be on the Switch at some point but many still gotta be reworked so that they have proper definition, textures, and extra animations so they don't look like...

You know

It's so faithful that you have to buy a second Switch so you can replicate playing the game on two screens.

It's so faithful that it uses the same sprite animations from the original games, so you'll have no idea if any Unova Pokemon have had weird attack animations this whole time like Floatzel did.

It's so faithful that you'll STILL have to transfer over a specific Celebi/Legendary Beast to get Zorua/Zoroark.

It's so faithful that the remakes will be delisted once they reach exactly 15.64 million copies.

It's funny cause despite everything SwSh was, it was that animation that broke the fandom.

Like there was a party when Legends Arceus showed that Pokemon had proper turning animations man we really were in hell.

Is it odd for me to treat this image like GF's learned their lesson?

Like there's no real reason for those grazing animations to exist outside of ambience in the overworld, and if they made animations Pokemon only need to do to feel more alive while you're roaming around, certainly we'll never see something like spinning Zamazenta again...right?

Nah, they've been trying to make the Pokemon world feel more alive lately. There's a lot of unqiue details about the Pokemon in SV and especially PLA, some mons do have special animations/interactions that haven't really beem seen before hand.


Two of my favorites are Chansey in PLA who will run up to you and heal you if you were to get injured, and Ditto in SV who acts in a very bizzare manner if you were to approach it if it were transformed.

Games have made more money than Movies for a while now, so in a way, this was bound to happen.

But much like the over-bloating of movies, games are likely to have budget issues like this now if games that sell more than a million units being priced anywhere from $30-60 dollars new still can't break even. This likely part of the reason why some AAA games are now $70 and things could be better if lower scale(and not even Terribly lower scale either)games were made again.

Games being more profitable this year (+plus the Covid timeframe) makes sense, but unless they were making more money for most of the 2010s it feels weird…reasonable…but weird. The price increase would explain why tho. And if most of the AAA games end up like how the movie industry is this year (and possibly moving forward) then that’d be depressing to witness.

Though that might be a slight point of no return, cause TotK didn't need to be 70 bucks on 7 year old Switch hardware, you just know Nintendo knew they could get away with it cause Nintendo fans tend to show out hard for their first party titles.

if lucky, Nintendo will keep TOTK as their only $70 base game for awhile longer

I legit don't think people would have batted an eye nearly as much as they did at this animation if SwSh was more open-world from the get-go and the story (or at least the "Darkest Day" part of it) didn't completely falter near the end.

Tbh what done SwSh in was the dex cut, primarily the reason for it. They said it was for high quality animations and balance, but they can't say stuff like that and then drop an ugly game with 3DS models and animations, and is also arguably the most unbalanced Pokemon has gotten.

 

[Z25]

Speaking of the Rosalina reveal.

I was also there live but I was in high school lmao

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I have blocked Several ads for bras on my twitter all in a ****ing row

Please stoppp

 

[TheMightyP]

Oh yeah, Rosalona reveal.

I was in middle school when it happened. I too watched it live. RIP Kirby in Mario Kart.

I actually think the DLC gives us the exact answer.

Spoiler

Think about the DLC, you know what never gets mentioned?

The greatest threat the region ever faced that was so bad they came back again.

I imagine people would still be out here worried of the threat of plasma returning.

no mention that I have seen feels wild. On top of the fact we are looking at a Unova that is at least 10 years ahead of BW timeline.

By paradox Unova, I think we are going to see a story where plasma surfaces way later. With massive redesigns and a new twist of Unova’s design that’s different but familiar. With new and old leaders in rotation and probably a lot more.

would be that Perrin and the academy also come back.

The academy will manage to transfer terra energy to the region allowing the gimmick to stay.

Original dragon is bought about by that energy.

I can't help but wonder how the game would have actually turned out without the dex cut. It wasn't even an issue that bothered me much once the DLC dropped. And isn't SwSh's competitive gameplay actually considered fairly balanced?

In any case, the game's sadly flawed but I still enjoyed it for what it is. I hope people can look back more on it's strengths than weaknesses in the future, while still acknowledging it's faults that kept it from being up there with the majority of the other Pokemon games or from quite reaching the Switch's standard of quality.

Home Alone may genuinelly be a top 5 funniest movie of all time.

Like it's phenominal at the verbal comedy and the slapstick.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

2024 will be the 10th anniversary of both the iconic Spider-Gwen/Ghost-Spider and the beautifully designed Earth 65. Comic wise, Peter’s 60th anniversary (this year) had them **** his life over while killing Kamala Khan. As for Miles, his 10th anniversary have him the tracksuit costume and a delayed movie. The very first thing they have set for Ghost-Spider Gwen Stacy and Earth 65…is to permanently take that Gwen Stacy out of Earth 65 and keep her in the 616

…**** Earth 65 I guess

Honestly, it probably wouldn't have the controversy but it would still be very mid. Maybe better than base Gen 4, but it'll still be considered a letdown for the first Pokemon game on a much more powerful console.

Tbh, I don't think history is gonna look too kindly on it. It had good ideas but it was a breaking point for many for a reason, especially with the last 2 games getting much better reception.

Ya know I jokingly suggested it but now that all the Regis are in Scar/Vio I wonder if they'll do a 7* Regigigas event with the caveat that its ability is ignored, or it starts with a big shield to let it get going.

If you don't wipe it out by the time his slow start expires, he immediately team wipes everyone.

Or it starts with a big shield to let it get going.

This really feels like something they'd pull
