Social Ultimate Social Thread: Under Construction. Be Back Soon!

[ZephyrZ]

If something exist on the internet, there will always be people who find darker, unintended meanings. Which is why I don't usually care unless it's something that's really unfortunate even in context.

Do pokemon Sword and Shield have anything to do with nazis or hentei? No? Then I'm still calling them SS and you can't stop me.

I need a hogwarts-like school in this game.

I'm just gonna call Pokemon S&S Pokemon Sand and none of you can stop me.

I still can't believe that Ultimate literally has ten times more viable fighters than Melee.

Yet we have yet to have an all tournament

You mean "Acronym".

Would y’all like to see Pokemon with a more realistic art style? Or at least protags that aren’t 10 year olds. Just wish the player avatars could be more self-inserts with customization.

I just want them to be old teens or atleast kids that actually continue to look like real kids (and not bait)

In certain circles it stands for straight shota, which is usually hentai about an older woman ****ing an underage boy.

 

[Pakky]

So… this leak was real

Man Blastoise don't get ****.

Also how is the crop circle thing a horse or a snake? Unless its the third guy.

I'm gonna call S&S Pokemon Shoto and Pokemon Star and you specifically can't stop me

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Calm down you clowns, we've literally already had Pokemon SS, remember Soul Silver? And no one lost their ****. We're all gonna be alright.

yeah but that wasnt in 2019, intelligence has decreased

I'm loving the fanart that's come from these guys.

Ooh what if this is finally the generation that gives us a gryphon pokemon?

This game better have a gryphon in it or I'm canceling my preorder.

You're right to my dismay I cannot stop you but uh wanna take this outside chief? /s

Considering my main way to travel to England was by boat, I whall dub Gen 8 as Pokemon SS Anne

 

[Deleted member]

I'm going to wait until Game Freak shows that they're committed to making a good Pokémon game for veteran players. They can say they're catering to us all they want but until I see a challenging Pokémon game that doesn't hold hands and isn't afraid to pull punches I'm not sold.

Unfortunately never going to happen. We're not who Game Freak makes the most money from or who they even aim the games at. They aim the games at children, as that's where all the money comes from.

Us older players are pretty much just a bonus to them.

They aim at both children and "core gamers". They get money from both. Otherwise there wouldn't be so much nostalgia pandering.

That said I still agree with your point that expecting a super-challenging Pokemon game is kind of unreasonable. It's like expecting Kirby to be super hard. Pokemon Sun/Moon and Black/White were at adequate levels of difficult if you ask me, I think they should strive for that.

What about a difficulty slider or a easy and hard mode?

 

[Pakky]

I hope the roster of guys aren't slow.

How many years do we have before we hit the rock bottom?

Are there any unique characters from MegaMan Battle Network or Star Force who could function as playable character in the vs. Capcom series?

 

[Deleted member]

They had a hard mode in BW2, but it was post game only and only normally accessible in one version iirc.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

seeing what I see on twitter lately, It wont take long

 

[Noipoi]

A lot of Kalos Pokemon were really fast, a lot of Alola Pokemon were really slow. Maybe Galar Pokemon will be split evenly?

 

[ZephyrZ]

A difficulty slider I wouldn't expect because there'd be balancing complications there.

I think a hard mode would be pretty reasonable though and I'd totally be down for that. I'm not sure I see them doing it though, and again, it's not like we're there's that many people complaining that Kirby or Mario Odyssey have don't have hard modes.

 

[Deleted member]

I think we can all agree. If Sword and Shield are as challenging as Black and White were, the game is gonna be fire. Still miss playing BW.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Funny thing is they tried an easy and hard mode but they didn't work. Not only did you have to beat the game to unlock a difficulty which was version exclusive, but you had to link up with someone who has the other. Even then it didn't quite work out well as hard mode ironically gives you more EXP considering now Black and White had EXP scale with your level

 

[Pakky]

I hope so, though all the starters look like speedsters this time around .

None of them are true quadrupeds which is interesting, cuz usually one kinda is.

It would be nice to have a mix of both. Becasue even dudes who max out at like 270-317 can be super good with choice scarf.

Serenade if we’re talking completely unique characters I suppose.

I agree they do go for both, but TBH they're never going to change the way they develop them because they don't need to. Pokemon sells gangbusters regardless of its actual challenge. Ideally we'd get difficulty options, but GF most likely doesn't see the need when the only people asking for it are kind of the minority compared to the rest of Pokemon's massive player base. Even if they go for both crowds, children are still their primary focus for them, and as long as they're happy, GF is happy.

In my own opinion, though, I could care less about difficulty scaling in Pokemon at this point. I'll just start up a Nuzlocke challenge if I want it to be harder.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

idk why but finding that Rarity made me happy

Never played those but from what I hear people really like Bass.exe

Can confirm, he’s a superboss in the first game and has a lot of importance in the sequels. He’s pretty cool.

I feel like Masuda’s comments on Battle Frontier in ORAS are relevant
“Put simply, the Battle Frontier wasn't included because only a tiny number of players would have appreciated and used this game feature. Players get fed up more easily than they did in the past and aren't attracted by these 'demanding' challenges.”

 

[Gyrom8]

A decent way to beef up difficulty in Pokemon slightly is for more of the AI opponents to use proper strategy. Kukui did IIRC, as did many Battle Tree trainers, but a lot didn't really seem to have any gameplan. One of the things I love about Colosseum is that each boss had a strategy e.g. protect + earthquake, rain team, skill swap Slaking etc. Though that was double battles, which are underutilised in mainline Pokemon games.

 

[Primal Cookie]

I really like the theory that the stadiums are the Gyms, and that the Pokemon League is actually a league (so, the soccer scene in the trailer). Just sets up even more for my inevitable disappointment when the game comes out.

Maybe at least one of them evolves into a proper quadruped, like with Oshawott.

Yeah. It they have a rabbit starter so who gives a ****?

 

[ZephyrZ]

Quick question. How many people who complain about Pokemon games being too easy go out of their way to dodge field trainers? I'm genuinely curious. There was a point in time where I was obsessed with fighting every one I came across for that easy money and exp. but eventually I stopped fighting them to find that it made the games more challenging and far less tedious to boot. Pokemon isn't a traditional FE game, you don't have to worry about optimizing resources and if you somehow hit a roadblock you can always still back track and grind.

Of course there's still Let's Go which gives you and OP starter regardless so let's not count that one.

Which was a BS excuse because they were optional postgame content that weren't required to progress.

I'm still salty about that one.

Am I the only one who thinks an Overwatch fighting game would be really cool?
