Social The Social Thread 3.2.2 - Switch 2 Hype Time!

[Mushroomguy12]

Let's go buddy buddy.

 

[Noipoi]

The answer was right in front of us the whole time

 

[Z25]

How many new megas do we think we're getting? Do you think it'll just be megas, or will we still have regional variants and cross gen evolutions? Will there be an Enamourus-esque addition?

I can't stop thinking about this.

I’m thinking all the above. They took a whole extra year for this game. They must be very ambitious. So building off of legends and having new megas, more regionals, and then cross gen/regional evolutions are fair game if there’s regionals.

Another legend related to past pokemon is possible to. They might want to continue adding to previous legendary lore. Maybe that’s where they speculated mythical comes in.

 

[Mamboo07]

Since it's being redeveloped and under construction, I would imagine there would a lot more than just surface level city.

Hoping we get an underground Paris catacombs inspired area.

Idk how they'll bring back Ash Greninja when Ash didn't exist during that time but we'll see.

 

[Mushroomguy12]

Anyone excited about Pokemon Sleep?

Suspicious

I was just about to say this definitely comes back in this game.

-early prototype as in it’s an irl year away from working, and years away from full power in the games universe.

-Theme of technological advancement and Pokémon harmony.

There’s no way synchro does not come back.

Given that Pokemon have been getting far more active roles starting with Gen 7, I'm betting this will be the game that does that.

PLA already had you controlling a few with the flute.

 

[Mushroomguy12]

Finally getting a Pokemon Z game after all this time is exciting. I remember how confused I was when they announced Sun and Moon and I realized Pokemon X and Y would be the first games to not receive a 3rd Version, a sequel, or anything of the sort. Kalos got robbed.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Ironically if we paid attention to dex cuts pattern,

We would have had Kalos locked in.

In SV the main missing Pokemon are like 5 from Gen 5 that are in the Kalos Dex, the Kalos legends, and most importantly, furfrou. An obvious stand out that would have clued us in if we stopped taking leakers as gospel lol

I mean. I was just going by the patterns. Truthfully they can do whatever they want there imho. I just want Black and White remakes to happen someday soon because playing those old ds games, without the modern streamlined gameplay tweaks (Exp share, accessing the box whenever you want, no random encounters, the fairy type) does not sound appealing. And BDSP only didn’t have one of those things. It had all the rest. Plus I thought the chibi characters were cute. So please please do them!

 

[PeridotGX]

a few years back I did a project where i came up with a bunch of new mega evolutions. I came up with abilities and stats for all of them... i just never did the art. But now...

 

[Mushroomguy12]

Interesting that they went from Sinnoh to Kalos for the Legends series. Although I guess they did technically have a Unova starter in the original Legends.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

I missed the live Presents.

I thought the Pokemon Z comments were a joke until I kept scrolling down the thread and realized that too many were being posted with too much hype for it to be a joke.

 

[Mushroomguy12]

Let's go buddy buddy.

Sidenote: I'd love to have more official music videos with Pokemon/Nintendo characters dancing.

 

[Noipoi]

Seemingly every Pokémon confirmed for the game so far. Though I also think I sorted Ariados in the trailer too, so there’s one more.

It is a joke. Go back to bed.

 

[Mushroomguy12]

As someone who suffers with this problem myself, I appreciate Sakurai taking steps to address this issue in the community to improve accessibility for gamers.

 

[Hydreigonfan01]

Anyone excited about Pokemon Sleep?

Time to be rather blunt

 

[KingofPhantoms]

I know this is gonna be a Legends game, but given the already mysterious nature of this line, I wonder if we'll finally get some answers and a follow-up to this?

 

[Mushroomguy12]

I remember how creeped out I was about that as a kid. That and the haunted house in the Sinnoh games.

 

[Wario Bros.]

I'm betting that we're going to get a spin-off Pokémon game this year.

I really can't see Pokémon having a completely dry year (TCG Pocket doesn't count).

 

[Deleted member]

Among this sea of Pokémania, Turtlemania has also had a cool reveal today

This hopefully opens the gates to rereleases of the TMNT 2003-inspired games.

 

[Z25]

Idk how they'll bring back Ash Greninja when Ash didn't exist during that time but we'll see.

They retcon it to be a mega. With text saying it resembles an ancient hero who once saved Kalos. Their bond echo’d throughout future Greninja who strived to to be as powerful as the original greininja and his partner were.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

holy ****ing **** YES

 

[Geno Boost]

anyone played pokemon dash?

i remember that i played it alot during my childhood and honestly its one of the most unique racing game i have seen i wish it had a sequel there is so much potential with this game

holy *ing * YES

…how did we send this at the exact same time? That’s kinda freaky

 

[Mushroomguy12]

Very excited about the Legends game and other announcments.

Little sad we still don't have Gen 1-3 on NSO, at this point I've officially given up, we're going to get the next console within 2024 or 2025...

If pumpkaboo isnt in this game, I will vibrate in anger so hard that i will go to the core of the earth

Lol a ninja'd post about ninjas.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Lol a ninja'd post about ninjas.

On the same day where Greninja returned to the spotlight, no less.

 

[Mushroomguy12]

We'll have to call in a ninja Princess to deal with all this ninja-ing.

 

[PeridotGX]

I'd be shocked if any Kalos Pokemon aren't in the dex. 100% of Sinnoh's inclusions were in Legends Arceus, no reason the same wouldn't apply here.

It would also be a safe bet to assume anything with a Mega will be here, with the possible exclusion of Mewtwo and Rayquaza.

 

[Noipoi]

It’s a Kalos pokemon. It’ll be in the Kalos game.

I have word from papa gamefrrak that not only will it not be in the game, but it will also not be included in Gen 10. In fact it's being deleted from existence

…this might actually be a once in a lifetime moment here on Smashboards. A ninja getting ninja’d by another ninja at the same time while posting about ninjas as Greninja shines and Ninja Peach begins her takeover

what's a pumpkaboo? there's never been a pumpkin based pokemon. i bet it would be cool though. Maybe a Grass/Fire type?

I guess everybody was Kung-Fu fighting here today.

 

[Dukefire]

Speaking of Princess Peach Showtime, we are not far away from getting the game on March 22. Despite it being designed for girls, Male gamers will get a kick out of it as well.

With help from her best friend who also happens to be a Ninja.

You guys think they'll finally DO something with Unown this time?
