I was pumped for this, but I’m getting cold feet due to the following:
1) Very tight review embargo window. Not a good sign usually.
2) Pokedex cuts and I heard the open world is somewhat empty and bland from what was previewed.
3) I used to play all the Gameboy Pokemon games and I don’t recall them ever being that difficult or challenging. It felt like you simply level a few Pokemon and use the correct one in each situation, ie don’t throw grass at fire. Not much depth. Maybe this was a limitation of the Gameboy in that you couldn’t have a lot of depth?
Best Buy has a $10 preorder credit and I have GCU so maybe I’ll bite the bullet if reviews drop on Thursday.Union Strong. Workers are stronger together.
The GOP is a criminal organization who despises the middle class and working poor. Name one policy they have pushed for that increased worker pay, union strength, or worker influence in a corporation.

I only played 2 Pokemon games before: Red on Gameboy and Pearl on DS
enjoyed both of them but it's not like I'm the biggest Pokemon fan there is, I did pre-order Sword since I'm curious to see what became of the series
so I'll pick it up Friday but probably will not start playing it before I finish Luigi's Mansion 3 though+++ miscin' at work crew +++

In on most disappointing game of the decade thread
- only 400 Pokémon’s because they said they wanted to focus on animations and model quality
- data mining shows that the EXACT same wireframes/models are used as the previous 3ds games. That means for most Pokemon, they have the same polygon count as sun/moon so this game has literal 3ds graphics. they're on record for saying they rebuild all the models from the ground up. this is objectively a lie.
Spoiler!
- animations are reused and copy/pasted from sun/moon.
- graphics worse than n64 games. It’s honestly atrocious how bad some are. The trees look better in ocarina of time...
Spoiler!
- 30fps with often dips to the single digits
- 140+ removed moves
- xp share always on so game is easymode
- ZERO post game content, game beatable quickly, 14ish hours
- catching wild Pokémon is locked behind your gym badges. See a lvl 31 but don’t have the third gym badge? Nope can’t catch it. If it’s shiny? Tough luck boyo
- plenty more. Battle backgrounds being blank canvases, the world freezing while climbing ladders, sound options locked behind a key item, it goes on for days
This was my most hyped game of all time and it is the single most disappointing media(encompassing games, film, music, etc) of all time imo
Rumors have it that they couldn’t get their importer to work so they couldn’t import all of their Pokemon. instead of fixing it, they wasted a lot of time being terrible devs, cut significant content, and decided “well, people will buy the game anyways so whatever, let’s just release this alpha anyways”. No thank you. This is the highest grossing media franchise of all time, ahead of DISNEY and you’re telling me they couldn’t throw some money at hiring more devs to build ALL new Pokémon/animations from scratch for their first home console game? They had to reuse all the assets from a 3ds game? Once again, no thank you. It’s a kick to my stomachLast edited by bartosh; 11-13-2019 at 07:19 AM.

Dexit makes this a no for me dog. That was one of the things I do in these games, build my shiny living dex. I mean the game isnt that deep or exciting. The tag is literally "Gotta catch them all".
Hoping for ultra SwSh or something with the full deck. Also have to see what is in Home that you have to pay for rather than being in the base game.libs gonna lib

To say that i was disappointed would be an understatement. But the more I learned about game freak, the less surprised I was. It's the singular worst AAA game dev studio out there in terms of raw talent.
there's a reason why #gamefreaklied is currently the #2 trending hashtag on twitter currently
The best part is, they want you to pay monthly for their pokestorage app service to store pokemon from previous gens for a "maybe they'l be included in future games" from somebody high up in game freak. don't care to find the interview but they want you to pay for a MAYBE you'l be able to see them again.MS, Computer Science

I haven't followed Pokemon since the fourth grade, but even I'm aware that this game in particular is a trap.
It's so bad that instead of my usual dose of schadenfreude, I'm actually empathic with Poke-fans for what a crock this game is despite the franchise printing money.
Anyone actually considering this game should re-re-read bartosh's post, along with the datamine confirming that it's a zero effort cash in.
Also, apparently not even onion lizard or super soaker turtle made the cut, which is crazy to even my Poke-ignorant ass. If it weren't for that movie, Deadpool mouse might have been axed... although the pun "Dexit" gave me a laugh.I will stand firm, I refuse to kneel - The fury in me is divine

What will happen is there will be another cashgrab UltraSword and UltraShield released next year that will be an iteration upon this game containing:
- all pokemon
- probably more endgame
- minor QOL changes like the ability to turn off xp share
but still not the game we deserve with updated graphics, true open world, etc..
They did the same thing with black/white -> black2/white2 and sun/moon -> ultrasun/ultramoon.
b/w and s/m were ok games, decent enough but their sequels were the good stuff.MS, Computer Science

Reviews are better than expected. I may still get it due to $10 preorder bonus, GCU, and an old $10 coupon I have.
Still blows my mind the stuff they ****ed up with this. Literally coulda been GOAT.Union Strong. Workers are stronger together.

I've played every mainline Pokemon game, and honestly I had no idea how many sociopaths the pokemon community had until a couple weeks ago.
Mfers are seething and threatening staff over a children's game. This is supposed to be a new journey. I didn't even know we were entitled to have Gamefreak give us every Pokemon ever made in every game they release.
I'm gonna pick Grookey, he looks cool.

Its hard for me to feel immersed in pokemon games ever since I played red/blue like a mother****er as a kid.
What really throws me off if this. in a real pokemon universe, every single Male above the age of 12 would have a harem of Jynxs
Why is no one ****ing their Jynx?
