I will mention, there is a surprisingly high lack of Unovan Pokemon in Scarlet and Violet. There tends to be a running trend of this occuring before said regions remakes. (Sinnoh lacked many Johto mons before HGSS, Kalos lacked many Hoenn mons before ORAS, Galar lacked many Sinnoh mons before BDSP and PLA) Whilst there's a high probability of SCVI DLC being the next thing on the chopping block (For a whole ton of lore related reasons I'm not gonna mention rn), it's highly likely we'll be getting some Unova based games this generation.
To continue on this: There's been a weird amount of Unova callbacks these past couple games.
In the big city from Scarlet and violet there's a guy playing guitar and when you approach him you hear the guitar playing on top of the cities theme music, something that only Generation 5 did before then
They kinda brought back the thing where the Gym leaders last Pokemon has a theme song associated with it, something Gen 5 did.
They randomly added new Pokemon associated with Generation 5 in Legends along with the fact that Ingo is the only returning character in the current era of Pokemon. A Gen 5 character.
The Pokestars studios Logo is on Iono's gym trainer clothes, Pokestar studios a thing from BW2.
I'm basically building a conspiracy theory blackboard around this idea that will most definitely be outdated by the time February rolls around.
It's also not surprising that Strange World is kinda struggling considering how it went up against Black Panther 2 in several theaters.
Oh well. With Bob Iger back, hopefully this sort of thing doesn't happen again with a while. I hope it doesn't happen to Elemental, that movie looks, well, fire
Well, It has been quite a long while since I last talked with ya'll, so let's try to do some quick catch up, sha'll we? Gonna use spoiler tags as to not flood the chat of course.
-Well, first and foremost I finally went back to university... And It is going great! I'm passing every exam with good success, I made a lot of new friends in my class and the overall enviroment has been really healthy and strong. We truly are doing a lot of great things at class, and I'm proud of It. Thinking I'm doing well enough at shaping up my future as an English teacher.
-I declared to my Crush. It went way better than I expected! We still aren't a couple, but she told me she is quite proud of having known me and that she wishes to stay with me for as long as possible. So It is quite a great start.
-My family... Is actually doing stuff to improve our relationship! And they are doing a cool job at It. There hasn't been any major Family drama in over 12 months or any weird chapter, and things have been really chill overall, so that's nice and relieving.
-On some minor stuff, I got a PS5 and recently a 4K TV! Been playing Ratchet & Clank, Miles Morales, Pac-Man World Re-Pac, Sonic Frontiers, Klonoa, Horizon Forbidden West and some more cool games. All great stuff.
-Been going to the psychologist a lot, she has helped me a lot to gain a lot of mental peace. I have reflected on a lot of stuff from the past and seen how I am today and I feel at a healthier mental state. There's still room for improvement, but I'm not the emotional Wreck I used to be. All awesome stuff.
-My IRL Friends are all doing great too! (At least as far as I know). We are still doing meetups, we met for my birthday to go watch Black Adam all together and we even reunited with my old Friends from our old group. Things are overall way better between us.
So yeah, overall really nice stuff. Quite proud of everything I have achieved this year.
And with all said, I think It is time to owe an apology to three people in concrete.
Dutch Raikuna@Lamperouge@Wademan94 ok, so I know we haven't talked in a really long time, and I was extremely rude to the three of you back then. Ya'll tried your hardest to be near me... And I kinda treated the three of you like poop.
I didn't realize It back then because I was an emotional wreckage as I said earlier... But yeah, ya'll deserved better. And I hope that with this new mindstate I have achieved, with all the successes I have gotten and just the brighter mood inside my head... We can all make the experience for everyone here as pleasing as possible.
So yeah, sorry for being quite the jerk back then. I forgive the three of you for all the actions I took and wish the best for the three of you.
And yeah, with all that said... Let's get to it! For a good end of year!
Good morning ya'll! Just read all the messages. Glad ya"ll are happy for my return!
I also have been playing Scarlet & Violet and I do agree with Ramen TengokuNoipoi
and the other people who wrote me. It is kinda buggy but what I played is really fun in humour, I really enjoy the characters+the Story way more this time which is neat and the Gameplay can be quite enjoyable. Easily a really good time.
Hm, I was wondering something about Pokémon Scarlet. Wondering if any of you could help me out.
Basically I already completed the Legendary Beasts missions (just need to beat the ending of that route) and currently I miss one medal and one Team Star Battle. The problem is that It seems my team is severely underleveled (around level 44 when my opponents all have level 60-so mons), and since Pokemon Bank isn't compatible yet with the game I was wondering if ya'll had any good feedback to either grind levels or get my team to the proper pace.

Honestly auto battle makes grinding in this game really easy. Just find a place with Pokémon that are weak to your Pokémon's types and it will probably take you about 30 minutes tops to get your team to the right levels.
Honestly I envy you since my team was severely overleveled throughout most of the game due to me catching pretty much every Pokémon I saw and battling most trainers. They may be optional but old habits die hard

Will try to do a lot of autobattles then, thanks Jondolio!

Happy Thanksgiving! Presenting, a demo featuring the 1st level of the cancelled Segapede for the Mega Drive, developed by Sega Technical Institute! Special thanks to Craig Stitt and @MasteredRealm for making this release possible for the community. https://t.co/ReyCGRhkB8 Enjoy! pic.twitter.com/cdYn4qxmsB
Not sure yet if there's Gameplay footage besides what's shown in the article, but I find It interesting that the level shown uses Hidden Palace Zone assets from Sonic 2.
Reading some replies It seems that this Game was at one point intended to be a Donkey Kong Country-kind of deal where It was a spin-off/side series to the Sonic franchise, which would explain the use of these assets.
Honestly, I've been thinking a lot about how they would be able to handle DLC for Pokémon Scarlet, and I feel that something quite ideal would be to use a setting inspired by the Canary Islands (the place I live in funny enough).
Not only are subtropical islands a really interesting setting for DLC with the towns, cities, beaches, volcanos and forests; but you could also justify them being separated from Paldea in the map with the IRL distance between Spain and the Islands (with the latter being at the left of Africa), this also making for a really good excuse to justify them being loaded into the game separatedly.
Lol, everyone in my friends group is also playing the game. On launch day we were all sending screenshots to each other with our teams and everything.
And yeah I personally am currently using the NSO subscription for the profile icons and the N64 games such as Banjo-Kazooie (which btw, in case Noipoi
reads this I ended up really liking a lot and enjoy exploring the open maps It has) or the upcoming Goldeneye. Feeling they need to spice Up the content with the service and improve some of the servers for certain games.
