That cover is beautiful. I'm curious who the artist is because if it's someone familiar, for once I can't place it...

This made me realize they missed an opportunity to have team up triple battles way back when that battle format was introduced in BW1. Like, you literally have two friends that travel with you throughout the game... -

Not dealing with the fanbase means I can tolerate the series better, so yea.

Literally how? Yeah, there can only be one protagonist ever who builds things. This one is just nonsense I'm pretty sure. Like, don't get me wrong. I don't care about someone not really caring about the FF or whatever, that's fine and I think as far as gameplay goes the only one I could imagine bringing something super unique to the table is Bunnie (which would be awesome). But if we're just talking how the characters would fit in the universe or narrative... '06 is '06, I know, but that had a kingdom with a princess! Those can exist! Lost World established something akin to roboticization (to the point where the Archie reboot portrayed what happened to Bunnie similarly IIRC). Again, Tails is not the only person who can build things, if anything I wouldn't mind if a character like Rotor too up that role so Tails could maybe do other things too (lol). Nicole is maybe the only thing we haven't really seen before in the games as far as I can recall, but an A.I. that achieves sentience is hardly a huge stretch for a series as weird as this. I never understood arguing from that angle is all.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate - PLEASE SPOILER TAG LEAKS
Celestia replied to Sonictrainer's topic in Video Games
Geno is usually among the highest results in polls isn't he? I think people underestimate his popularity. And with him already being referenced in Smash here and there, I'm sure they're well aware there's a lot of people asking for him, it's probably just a matter of time whether he's one of the final DLC fighters or shows up in the next game (whenever that happens). -
It depends on what the loss is. More to the point I don't think anyone is saying it has to be something completely irreversible, but often with ongoing storylines in this franchise (including the latter...maybe 25% or so of Archie's run) it's something where either 1) the consequences don't actually matter much in the long run or 2) it's fixed not long after. Which of course is perfectly fine in some cases, but variety is good, yeah? Some rare examples from the games: Sonic and friends win in the end in Sonic Adventure 1, but Station Square is of course still in ruins. This never really comes up again, with the next game mentioning the city in such a way that doesn't even make much sense at pure face value. Similarly SA2 ends with Shadow ambiguously dying, but he comes back in literally the very next 3D game (made worse by how nonchalant Heroes was about it, up until sort of trying to set up a mystery at the end). Now all that said, as far as the games are concerned, I don't mind that things wrap up nicely all the time. They're clearly designed to be episodic, and I'd honestly say it works fine! I do really wish they'd try to have ongoing character arcs, but I could rant about that all day. Alternate media stuff, this book included, generally have the opposite structure, which means there's more room for the kind of thing people are asking for here.

I honestly think the visuals in Sword and Shield are pretty good...outside of the Wild Area.

@PerkilatorFwiw it is mostly the trees, and some other structures, that bother me, but yeah.
And yeah the presumably more specifically constructed routes (and cities) aren't flat or empty at all. It really is like going from the average RPG right into Everything Wrong With Open World Design.

They aren't very good for a console JRPG from 2019 IMO, but, to be fair, giving a good look at Game Freak's portifolio, I don't expect big 3D projects from them. Every 3D Pokémon game before X/Y was made by different companies and most of their original titles are in 2D or just very simple games.
By the looks of it, Town will be their first big 3D JRPG.
-
@Strickerx5 Just look at them dem HIGH quality animations which they clearly put tons of dough & effort into! ;3
-
I mean yeah my expectations were lower because they've been a handheld dev this entire time, lol.
They've also said outright that they're focusing more on Town, which is an...interesting choice? On one hand I'm at least glad they aren't being forced to work on solely Pokemon forever and always ala Sonic Team or whatever, but...
-
@Lord-DreamerzThat’s one of the new starts too... just, how

@TCB Honestly I never got how Town visually looks great to some people. It is ok I guess... But nothing special far as I can tell. And I really don't think the human characters look good hardly at all personally.

I'm comparing it to other cel-shaded games like OG "Zelda the Wind Waker" or "Ni No Kuni 2" and those looked FAR better to me. I am not aware of Gamefreak's other non-Pokemon projects really.

To be honest I'm not bothered at all about the battle animations? Like, if that's what Masuda was referring to (which I highly doubt--my guess is that it's going to tie in to whatever the Amie / Refresh equivalent is this time around), in the first place I think that's a weird reason to cut Pokemon out of this specific game. I don't expect or even want them, at least with the time they get, to go through every mon and give them multiple attacking animations to account for every kind of move, even with a reduced roster. That'd be cool, but again I personally can't even wrap my head around that being a priority at all for a game that has like hundreds of mons.
Admittedly nowadays I always turn off the animations anyway, lol. Maybe I'd feel different playing a new one for the first time tho'.

Luigi's Mansion 3 - Switch, Halloween 2019

Though mainline Mario has improved on the fun cutscene animation front a lot starting with 3D World, the LM games are still.....next level. -
Luigi's Mansion 3 - Switch, Halloween 2019
Celestia replied to Ryannumber1gamer's topic in Video Games
I wonder if that encounter with King Boo seen in the trailer is surprisingly early in the game, since it'd be very strange to show off the final boss fight in like, the second trailer. -
Luigi's Mansion 3 - Switch, Halloween 2019
Celestia replied to Ryannumber1gamer's topic in Video Games
I assume the logic at the time was that while it was certainly a sequel, it had a very different structure to the original game, so localization felt it wouldn't be "accurate" to call it LM2. Which was a reasonable judgment I think based on how people seemed to feel about the game. Of course, that just makes it a little weird that 3 is called, well, 3. Also since I don't see it mentioned outright so far in this topic, it's been confirmed that the mission structure is gone. There's other cool tidbits in the preview too! -
Pokémon Sword & Shield (Coming November 15th, 2019)
Celestia replied to Sonictrainer's topic in Video Games
Yeah it's unfortunate, but Pokemon being a multimedia franchise makes it unlikely they'd delay a main series game, I didn't think about this until earlier but it'd probably be more difficult than you'd think for them to even plan for a break in the future. It'd be doable of course but it seems like TPC isn't particularly interested, which sucks for...uh, literally everyone, including GF lol. -
Pokémon Sword & Shield (Coming November 15th, 2019)
Celestia replied to Sonictrainer's topic in Video Games
This doesn't even effect me much since I've always just stuck with what each individual game gives you, but I'm definitely concerned on principle. On one hand the trading restriction was realistically going to happen eventually, especially given the series' annual release schedule. On the other hand, the yearly release schedule sucks anyway. I actually can see them just adding all the missing 'mons post-release but I'm not sure if it actually had to come to that? Ehhh. -
Literally what today is going to be like.

There were the echidnas in the flashbacks in SA1. Chronicles also has echidnas, and in the present day too! Can't think of anything in Advance 2, unless Vanilla counts.

The mid 2000s era, particularly stuff like those small moments in Unleashed/Black Knight, do kind of feel like they were rethinking their stance on Sonic and romance to some extent. It also makes sense with how Sonic's characterization had shifted during that era, he was a lot more chill (as was Amy later on). Now I can't say I mind how that didn't stick, but it is kind of interesting to look back on.
