Hello Rejuv devs. I don’t know if this question has been answered yet, but will Rejuvenation have multiple endings?
-
Bro where are they finding these killer soundtracks? Give me the full song ASAP!
The highlight of the commercial is Gengar's Max-Ghost type move with it throwing around what it looks like furniture? Other than that nothing new.
I like how every time they show us a new perspective of the Galar areas the more fascinated I am with it. Still very much excited to explore this new region.
Also, I saw Pikachu dynamaxing. The leaks stated that it'll become fat retro pikachu when it gigantamax. Hmm guess we will have to wait and see.
The day that they will reveal Sirfetch'd is the day I will combust to smithereens.

Did we or did we not.... already met the champion?

So we got another trailer! I see the english ver. has been posted so I'm just going to post the japanese ver. also.
I like this one betterAnyway!!
Ummm so for the new pokes.
Alcremie is... sweet. Didn't know how to feel about it at first but just gigantimaxing into a whole wedding cake is so hilarious
I kinda love Alcremie for tickling my funny bone with that one.
Yamper is a cutie and that's what's important so let's not just talk about that ability. Though yeah maybe it will be useful for catching pokes.
It really makes me wonder if Hidden abilities are still existent. I don't know, I hope it will. I just have a feeling because they already got rid of mega evo and z moves.
Rolycoly was my fave!!! I don't know about ya'll but Rolycoly is clean. He looks sick. You can probably say he's coal (cool)....... yup
I also like his ability. I'm hoping it benefits him though. S/M had mons that have great abilities but with poor stats (that f-in speed), it didn't get to use its full potential. Hopefully SwSh will be different.
Duraludon is.... okay. The typing is dope though! It also looks pretty powerful with you know, battling Tyranitar out of all mons. But the one thing that bugs me is.. how am I heavier than Duraludon?? 40 KG??? He sexy.
Because of its weight, I'm afraid light/heavy metal will benefit it in any way. If Heavy Slam somehow gets nerfed or it has another hidden ability, maybe it will have a chance.
9 hours ago, Majin J-Awesome_One said:Also, is it just me or does this regions theme with Pokemon seem opposite with Alola? What I mean is the Pokemon from Alola mostly seemed like they were slow. Galar seems to have this thing where the bulky looking Pokemon seem to be surprisingly quick. It just seems interesting to me.
If they're not making them quick with decent speed and following the trend of Alola mons, I'm suing.
Seriously, imagine if Gen 7 mons had atleast above 70 speed. They would be staples imo. Such a waste tbh. Still love them btw.
SO THE NEW CHARACTERS!!
If there's one thing they nailed in this game, it's the characters. The designs are all
THE HEAT IS IMMENSE
My personal fave from this trailer is Allister!! He's giving off creepy puppetmaster vibes. Bea or should I say Bae-a, is a bea-uty. We STAN!
But making them both version exclusives....... why. Drayden and Iris were the same in Gen 5 but both were the same type. I mean........ sigh. What to do.
Moving on let's talk more about that japanese trailer.
That trailer showed more of the areas in Galar and more clips of gameplay.
You know I'm really liking how SwSh is presented graphically. The game looks beautiful. We'll probably appreciate it more when we get to play it ourselves.
Okay so.... Gigantimaxing.
Don't really have much to say about it. It may be something that I'll get to enjoy if I play the game myself and capture that feeling of hype. Seeing as it is now, 50/50.
This very much confirms that Drednaw, Alcremie and Corviknight doesn't evolve due to it having gigantimax forms. Welp, that's that. I was really reaching for Corviknight but well, the form looks good nonetheless.
THIS ALL very much confirms yet again that leak back in may.
I'M REALLY HYPED FOR FARFETCH'D'S EVO. I really am. I am willing to forgive GF of the things they've done if they give justice to one of the most forgotten mons omg.
It's so sad how desperate I have becomeSo that's that.
I saw the trailer first thing in the morning so it was quite a surprise. Didn't expect we'll be getting news but here we are!
I'm going to be honest, ever since the whole fiasco happened my hype got down a little.
Nevertheless, I am still going to play the game since I'm pokemon trash. It's just a shame that the community has been divided, considering it's our first ever home console game.
I'm still clinging onto hope for improvement. I'm really praying that we will get another Gen 5 game. I'll just enjoy what we have for now. No shame in doing that

I can tell that Zumi is really excited for this version to come out. I’m hyped
unless she be giving us some more pokedex quests on catching another set of rare mons..... um-

Ame has graciously given me some gifs of the pokemon moves I did thank arceus and Ame. Ame's computer is not a toaster unlike mine so these are probably close to the frame rate they will play at. Hope these will help tide over the wait just a little bit and I hope that all of you have a amazing day. There is one more I have but probably will post it at a later date
We have been getting some crisp bread because of your awesome toaster. Good job and nice work smeargletaiI!

So this happened
Masuda released a statement regarding the recent issue.
This caught me off guard though. The backlash seemed to have been really unanimous for them to respond to it. It’s the first time they’ve done this.
It pretty much confirms that patches or dlc’s aren’t planned for the games. Not surprised.
Let’s see how 2020 will turn out.

my final team
It’s really nice to see Simipour and Relicanth on your team. Hope you continue using them! They’re capabilities are really underrated.

One thing I wish for is that I hope we have trainer customization with this one too! I’m a bit sad myself a little bit because Dawn seems to be missing in the game, but I have hopes. Also for Marley, whom I dearly miss.

Stolen picture of beta testers working their way up to Rejuvenation V12..
Seriously though the percentage is going fast it's really crazy. Everyone's crunching! Best of luck to all of you~
I just want to say that I'm still terrified of the Geara/Zetta double battle cause idk if it's going to be nerfed easier or MUCH harder..... welp

About Dynamax ...
The stat boost is thankfully only a HP boost. Pokemon will become more bulky and have strong additional effects such as setting up fields, weathers or lowering/boosting stats. I don't know what defensive moves do though.
The power of these moves is average. Just like Z-moves, it depends on the base move but I've seen Double Edge turned into a 140 BP Max Strike. It's not broken then.
I am looking forward to how it will work in the competitive stage. But I'm more confident about it now. What do you guys think?
I'm confident about it too. Dynamax might be that thing that looks weird and doesn't fit at first but will eventually turn out to be something vital that's going to shake up the competitive scene. The way it works is really like Mega + Z-moves in a sense.

Don't know if this has any merit to it but I've heard some people theorizing that the reason gamefreak is not putting all there staff onto newer games is because gamefreak feels like nintendo is phasing them out and nintendo doesn't need them as much because pokemon go apparently is making alot more then gamefreak has been making them. Hopfully pokemon never turns fully into a mobile cash grab series.
Pokemon GO is indeed making a lot but I don't think Nintendo is phasing GF out, for now at least. The games still take priority as they are the catalyst that pushes the franchise forward. Pokemon turning to the mobile world seems probable and looks like we'll eventually head that way, but that won't be for a long time.
GF has Town now and other projects that will soon come about, so that's probably why. Masuda has done a lot for Pokemon, but I think it's time to give that to the newer generation.

Someone on reddit made a better model in under a day apparently.
It's just bants until about 20 seconds in, but it looks pretty slick.
Yikes.
If there’s even a small amount of possibility, hopefully GF will FINALLY learn from this experience.
If not then whatever floats their boat I guess.

Atleast they’re aware that we’re still starving. Give us that sustainability!
Masuda should take this chance to elaborate on the decision further. We still need more clearance.

I want to say thank you to the one who put up the spoiler tag
Apologies. I think I lagged the hell out of this forum topic with that post lol.
15 hours ago, Majin J-Awesome_One said:@Maqqy I agree with everything you said in your post but I just have 2 things to say.
1. Why is everyone SO in love with Corviknight? Lol. I mean it looks cool but... It just looks like an evolved form of Skarmory. Not saying it is btw.
2. If you look closely at the screen where you're battling Hop (Btw, seriously? Hop? What kind of name is that?) if you notice the amount of Pokemon he has, there's 2 PokeBalls and 1 of them is grayed out which means that 1 of them is fainted. A lot of people are speculating that since his brother is the champion, he gets both of the starters.
1.
Cool is an understatement, my dude.
He just looks so medieval I love it. He's kinda like the Pokemon version of Dracula or something.
Some people are saying Corviknight would be the regional bird of the region, the final stage perhaps?
2.
Hey that's nice! I never noticed that. I would have no problem if he has two starters. That's different!
That would certainly be unlikely though. According to the leaks (if these were to be true), maybe Bede or Marnie might get the other starter.
Also, Hau also had a Pichu at the very start of SuMo. So maybe it'll be the same for Hop's case, having his other mon to be Hoppip.
Get it.............See what I did there14 hours ago, The Swordsman said:I mostly agree with everything you said but I can't do this. My favorite pokemon are deal breakers, if by some miracle all 6 of them is in and I get the game as a result, my experience will still be brought down by this decision.
This part of my message is mostly directed to the people who are taking it too far in instigating hate in the community. The decision has been made, so there's really nothing to do now.
Although like I said, with people like you who play Pokemon differently, the case is not the same. I find it perfectly understandable in playing SwSh with spite or not buying the games at all.
For those people like yourself, maybe I suggest taking on a different approach, just this one time for these games if you do plan on playing them nonetheless.
Try only using the new mons, explore every new ability/moves and take on every new mechanic that was implemented in this gen. Continue to find that motivation to play the game by being excited about what's to come.
It's still a new Pokemon game. Let's be positive
13 hours ago, seki108 said:He's good, but let's see if he's Alder level before trying to measure up to the true champion
Either way, this does reek of gen 1 pandering.......again. I'm almost embarrassed to admit I started during Gen 1 because of how much they keep harping on it. I get that it makes money, but after Let's Go side game they've maxed out on how much could be called reasonable.
Are you rating it top because of it's presumed splashability? We don't have all the info yet, so maybe it and Gigamaxing will have a yet unseen downside?
Maybe the new mons and features will be enough to make up for everything lost or maybe not. If I was planning on getting this game, I would definitely need to see more before committing actual money to a product. Unless they really screw up, it wouldn't be the complete hard pass that the Let's Go side games were. They've still got months to reveal more so people can make their decisions on this one.
1. Or he might be like N...... who sinister in disguise
2. It's never gonna stop. At this point, "nostalgia" should be tattooed in GameFreak's logo.
3. I rated it to what it seems to give out but I think the little info we had was enough. I agree and yeah we haven't seen Gigantimax yet (if it turns out to be true).
The mechanic just seems to be more stable than Mega evos and z-moves. Not entirely sure though, we will see.
4. I personally would get this game (#TeamSword whatupp) just cause you know, my
toxicsheer love for Pokemon.This isn't me being bias believe me, but I think it's going to be worth it. A new pokemon gen game is always worth it. It has never failed in my opinion.
14 hours ago, SilverAngelus said:Why would Hop receive two starter Pokemon? Just because his brother is the champion doesn't mean he'd get two of them -_-
Don't be greedy Hop...
He's a spoiled little kid and he needs some arse whoopin... we going to wreck this kid.
What I would get for an evil rival tho. Not like Silver who's a baddy, but like N in a way. Though the difference would be that this rival will be totally maniacal in the end. That would be awesome.

.................................. Hey ya'll.
I'm so late I can't believe. So can anyone explain why so many things happen when I'm busy? Then suddenly becomes deadass quiet when there's not? It's a conspiracy.
ANYWAYS!! Moving on. We had so many content the past few weeks it's not even funny. Finally had the time to catch up on all of them. There's a LOT. So I'm just going to post my thoughts about all the chaos that had transpired.
We have some really great news!!! Although there's that teeny weeny one..... we'll go on to that later.
I intend to compile everything we know, all in here. While doing so, I'll give a little bit of my own feedback.
Warning: Long a$$ ted thread ahead
So first off, I want to talk about the glimpses of Galar's different places we've seen.
Yes that's right I posted the last pic for Ame. I'm sorry to say Ame but you're worst nightmare came to life. Budew practiced capitalism and was able to form a company. The power that it has.
SO we didn't get to see so much of Galar but that's cool let's keep it that way. Leaves room for more exploration!What is up with that Dugtrio Cave I don't..
I especially love seeing that huge dragon castle which I'm guessing is the center of the region. It's just so BIG. The city on the third pic too. It gives off a feeling that each city, routes and town are gonna be larger than they seem on the map. That excites me!
Now for the FIRST time in the history of Pokemon...
The Wild Area.
I wasn't really expecting this at all, so I'm really happy.
I have seen the gameplay in the wild area through the demos and I must say, it's not perfect. There's still that whole thing with using same USUM engine.
HOWEVER, this is the first step!! We're getting closer to that ideal open world Pokemon we are dreaming about. It all takes time, and we're slowly getting there
Now let's take a look at the new characters!
It's no mistake that I put Sonia in the middle because yes that girlie is SMOKIN. I see that little twirling on your hair sis. She's killing it!
So Sonia the region's prof's granddaughter and childhood friend of Leon. What do you think is her purpose in the game? To hold TIGHTLY to our hands gaddamit. Well, I HOPE she atleast battles us and pose a challenge. But that seems unlikely... she's still serving tho.
Now onto Professor Magnolia. I like the fact that we started with an old dude (Professor Oak) in Gen 1, now in SwSh the very first mainline game on switch (I consider let's go as a remake sorry), we start with an old woman now. It's just a nice slight detail.
Now Hop..... Leon's brother. Okay. I feel Hau vibes in him mixed with that feisty attitude Hugh has. He reminds me of Barry in a sense.
The thing is with Hop, I had hopes. HOPES. But when I saw this..
............ why did he picked the weaker starter? I'm just sad.
Enter the gym leaders!!! With the CHAMPION holy cow.
EE-GAD. WHY ARE THEY ALL SO GOODLOOKING? Individually I can say that they have some degree ofhotnessattractiveness on their whole design like... what even. People are really gushing over them the community's reaction to them is priceless.
I love all three of them! They all exude personality. Give credit where credit is due. Art team in GF did a good job on the characters. Visuals alone, they stand out compared to other gens.
Now Milo! Why is he so buff???? I'm guessing he a farmer so he probably eats spinach all day.. *cricket sounds* But he seems like a fluffball too with that kiddy face of his. I like how that both compliment each other. A good combination.
Nessa is just the QUEEN. BOW DOWN. I am on my knees as we speak. Best water gym leader hands down (sorry misty). She has bad bish energy all over her aura and I am all for it. Hit me with that dive ball Ms. Nessa!!
So Leon..... how ya doin? Leon looks awesome honestly. I like how he was styled and the way he seems like the baddest guy in Galar. He has that charisma. Almost competing with Cynthia's with only that GAZE he has.
Some are saying that he would is 100% a villain. Hmm. That would cool if he was. He looks the part too! Maybe he'll be like Lusamine and go ultimate psycho on us.
Now Leon had a Charizard, shown beside him in the trailer. That could only mean one thing, that Charizard is his ace. THIS fact just makes me believe on the credibility of Armor evos. That Charizard is going to have something, we betting on that.
Though it might be that his Charizard will have a Gigantimax form? Maybe. We'll look into that further down.
Now for the exciting part of them all.. THE NEW MONS!! Let's get it!!
I just want to lay it all in the open right now. The best one out of all of them is CORVIKNIGHT and if you disagree then.. that's okay. We going
Corviknight enthusiast. But we are also here to stan IMPIDIMP. Impidimp gang rise up!!!
Let's go on to them one by one.
WOOLOO. Normal type and has the ability fluffy. It is 100000% CUTE but.... is it bad if I prefer Mareep more? No? Then good.
If it evolves to something like this..
It's getting dropped immediately.
Wooloo might be the first "rodent" of the region if I'm saying it correctly (i.e. Rattata, Sentret, Zigzagoon, etc.).
Fluffy is a good ability to have, Though it will be wrecked by Scorbunny early on, I think its evo is gonna be good. I'm hoping for like a dark and enchanting goat type! That would be sick. I don't mind if it's cuteness fades away. Wooloo would be more unique.
GOSSIFLEUR and ELDEGOSS. Super like the name! Their designs really fit the Britain theme with them looking like royalties.
When I first saw Eldegoss I immediately thought of Whimsicott, given that big cotton on their backs (though in Eldegoss' case I presume it's a Dandelion?)
Both are pure grass-type with a brand new ability, cotton down. Cotton down reduces the speed of the mon that will hit both mons with ANY TYPE of move. That's clean!! If that ability affect both mons in double battles, that would be sick.
DREDNAW, water/rock type mon with themost obviousability Strong Jaw. Drednaw already looks like a final evo, though it might be a secondary stage.
I also feel like Drednaw would be the fossil mon (If they still hadn't discontinued fossil mons since Gen 7 had none).
Overall, he's a big boy. Maybe 8/10.
CORVIKNIGHT. YES!!! YES!! There is nothing more to say.
Corviknight is a mon that Batman would have. Also Raven in Teen Titans.
Given its ability Pressure and steel/flying typing, I think it would be a bulky offensive mon.
My one hope for Corviknight is that I wish it will still have an evolution. It looks cool now but I bet it could become more awesome if he has one. In the gameplay at E3, I saw it holding an everstone so maybe that's a sign it will evolve. Hopefully, it will!
YAMPER. Electric type with the ability Ball Fetch. Now in battles, Ball Fetch is pure trash. Yamper would be an adversary in catching/collecting mons though. If it has false swipe and thunder wave, then he would be my boy. He's confirmed to be a good boy.
Yamper could be Electric/Fairy given on how Corgi's are classified as magical creatures in England. ALSO, it has Play Rough in the demo. Hmmmm
I've always wondered on how Pokemon would represent a Corgi mon and with Yamper, they've nailed it. Yamper is cute as fvck. Queen Elizabeth would be proud.
Now GF please make a Dolphin mon.
IMPIDIMP. We are out here for Impidimp!! I think it looks fine dawg. It got that whole troll-theme going on.
Dark/Fairy is FIRE. I loved my Delta Roserade in Pokemon Insurgence so with typing alone, we got a winner.
Impidimp has Sucker Punch and Play Rough which means it would be a physical attacker. I think it would evolve into a joker/devil type of mon. We have all decided to STAN nonetheless!!
Now, let's introduce the legendaries for this gen, shall we?
....... Alright here are the real ones. These ones just made me laugh lmao
This might be an unpopular opinion but I love their color scheme. It's just right. I bet their shinies would look even better.
I like Zamazenta just as the same but bruh. Zacian is here holding a sword in it's mouth. I was straight up sold when I saw him.
I wish we could have seen their typings but just seeing them I guess is enough for now. Prediction!! Both will be Fighting/Steel.
We still one last mon to cover here!! Want to guess who it is?
The big chungus.
Peeps are speculating that this will be the Pikachu of this gen. Looking at that very blurred image of him at the first one, he kinda looks like patrat mixed with pachirisu. Well, WE WILL SEE.
Now that we are done with all the mons I just want to add this little pic right here:
....... They are ADORABLE. They look so good in-game. I also want to say that I have...
... picked my starter
For Scorbunny....
Everybody seems to think that this will lead up to him being a fighting type. Well, maybe. There's still a chance it wouldn't. I mean I kind of expected him to have the kick moves (Double Kick, Hi Jump Kick) I still believe he will be Fire/Electric. Just a strong hunch.
Now, onto the star of the game.
The new mechanic.
DYNAMAX.
I'll just summarize what I think about Dynamax.
Mega Evo > Dynamax > Z-moves - Visual/Appeal-wise in criteria.
Dynamax > Z-moves > Mega evo - Competitive-wise in criteria.
Nothing still beats Mega Evolution for me. The idea was just really good and there are still so many things GF could've done with it. Unfortunately, they didn't. New gimmick in every gen is just eh, though I'm not a hater of Z-moves cause I actually like them.
The only thing I still don't like about it is that it was given to mons that didn't even really needed it. Now, mons like Gengar and Alakazam are a little bit understandable for me. I mean, they have to give the popular mons mega evos cause it makes sense from a marketing perspective. But... sigh. Giving two forms to Charizard AND Mewtwo?? C'mon. There's Dunsparce, Farfetch'd, Lumineon and Ledian and many more that needed that more than anyone. It just sucks. Still salty lol.
Anyways we're going off topic. Now DYNAMAX. When I first saw this, I think it was a little bit overboard. I had mixed feelings with it. Even now I'm still in the middle of yes/no.
I only say that it's good competitive-wise cause by looking at it, I don't think it would flood the metagame with more brokeness.
A player will need the Dynamax band in order to Dynamax their Pokemon, but it's currently unknown if there is an item a Pokemon will need to hold.
Okay well that might be a problem. Let's not be scared though. Let's just pray..
I also want to say that I like how the pokeball gets larger when dynamaxing. It's cool.
Now let us talk about..
RAID BATTLES.
Raid battles are a thing in Pokemon Go which I'm not very knowledgable aboutor not give a care at all. So I'm kind of good with it for now.
Raid battles encompass the whole Dynamax thing and I think that's what were they intending to do. They managed to integrate a Pokemon Go feature by implementing Dyanamax while making it a multiplayer asset at the same time. Killing two birds with one stone,
good move.
I especially loved this one.
If I would ask for one thing, it is that for Raid Battles to be hard. It's about forming strategies and using those tactics in battle so if they are all about that, make it challenging.
Steelix gaining that mysterious barrier when it reaches half hp, that is sooooo nice. In the gameplay, it seems to only take little by little damage and I love that (or just because Steelix is highly defensive well oop).
Lastly, I want to give credit both Rift Gyarados and Giant Steelix for making this happen. We all know they started the trend. Have to pay homage to the real mvps.
Now then,
I think I've covered everything in the trailer as of now.
Next up, we're going to shift our focus to that credible LEAK that 98% accurately depicted Sword and Shield.
Here it is.
He got about almost 90% right. That's both wow and creepy.
BEDE AND MARNIE. We have two more friends/rivals to face! That gives me a little nostalgic feeling inside because a trio of friends reminds me of Cheren and Bianca. I hope we get to bond with Bede and Marnie like with them in Gen 5
TEAM YELL. Okay. What kind of team name is that? Team Shout or Team Scream would be more fitting or something. Yell? Really.
It says that they are fans of Marnie. I'm guessing Marnie would be a girlie? Like a celebrity or some sort.
You have to get endorsements to take part in a gym challenge. That would be a nice side thing. Since gyms would be like a sports event thing, that's a nice touch
ETERNATUS, the evil legendary. BEST NAME SO FAR. It's the mon that did the whole wind thing in the trailer with Zacian and Zamazenta I presume? If they are wolves, maybe Eterantus will be a bird-like mon.
Eternatus is speculated to be the origin of the dynamax phenomenon. Let's see! I would like to see how Dynamax is explained in these games. Hopefully it'll have a good backstory.
GIGANTIMAXING. Now this one is just Mega evos but bigger. The Meowth one is a no no. Lapras with musical notes? Sure. Retro Fat Pikachu? Okay okay.
Sonia is Leon's former rival. It's already been confirmed that she is her childhood friend too. Being Leon's rival, it is now confirmed to that she a BAD bish. She's going to be formidable and that is A++++++
Farfetch'd will get a regional evolution...
OUT OF ALL OF THESE, THIS IS THE ONE I WANT TO BE TRUE THE MOST!! PLEASE!!! I just want irrelevant mons to get the spotlight they deserve. GF please, please please please.
And stop giving Meowth everything like seriously.
SKWOVET and GREEDUNT are the chipmunk mons. So we will get two? Kind of like Plusle and Minun then. Aight. Weird names though. Chungus would have been more fitting.
The gym leaders! Milo and Nessa are confirmed. Kabu and Opal are next in line. I like Opal already (reasons being, Steven Universe lol).
He stated Yamper as Pamper, which leads me to think that he saw an early stage of the games. Which means that some of these leaks might not be final. Okay good, but keep Farfetch'd's evolution. I am on my knees.
The Wild Area, Dynamax and Raid battles were spot on. I am really curious about those "league cards" tho and that pack of potatoes or somethin. Pokemon getting really weird each gen.
Camping is....
Confirmed. It sounds fun too. A nice replacement for Pokemon Refresh
Pokemon will not walk beside you in the overworld map. Well that's okay, maybe next time in Pokemon Gun.
Last ones!! The starter evos.
Scorbunny will be pure fire type with fighting type moves....... -_____________________- #Fire/Electricmovement
Sobble will have a spy theme evo. Okay. A crybaby turning into James Bond? How is that going to work. Well, let's see. Intelleon sounds nice tho.
Grookey will be end up being a giant gorilla. It was expected but I was hoping for something different.
I'm still looking forward to their evos. I get a feeling that I'll be surprised.
NOW.
Everything is pretty much covered.
This will be the last part.
The most controversial part of course.
I've only known about this recently and with news like that, I expected there would be an uproar. Indeed, there was.
Let's dive in.
https://www.usgamer.net/articles/pokemon-sword-and-shield-interview
Junichi Masuda, Producer: There are a couple of different parts to the thinking behind it, but really the biggest reason for it is just the sheer number of Pokemon. We already have well over 800 Pokemon species, and there's going to be more added in these games. And now that they're on the Nintendo Switch, we're creating it with much higher fidelity with higher quality animations. But even more than that, it's coming down to the battle system. We're making sure we can keep everything balanced and give all the Pokemon that appear in the games a chance to shine.
We knew at some point we weren't going to be able to indefinitely keep supporting all of the Pokemon, and we just found that Sword and Shield would probably be a good point to go back and reevaluate what would be the best selection of Pokemon that appeal to the widest audience while keeping into consideration the balance of the battle system. It isn't just going to be all-new Pokemon in the Galar region Pokedex; there's still going to be a lot of favorites that fans will be able to bring over that they've adventured with previously. But yeah, it was pretty much just balancing and getting this optimal selection of Pokemon for the adventure we wanted to provide.
...............
Maybe I'll just make this short.
Their reasoning for not adding all the mons,
is just pure poop.
I mean, c'mon. For the sake of quality?
Everybody out here saying "It's normal to not use the final version of the game in the demo"........ okay sis. I really want to believe you and I really do. But I also believed that in SuMo and it ended up looking exactly the same.
This is the gist of all of this.
Delaying the game furthermore is OUT of the question. You know, because of all the things that come with it after. Anime, Merchandise, TCG, Movies and Mobile games. All of that must be met accordingly to a timeframe.
That's why a game is released every year or every other year. It follows the flow of the business. That's how the franchise works.
So the inevitable happened, GF wasn't successful in meeting their deadline. Surprise surprise.
Does that make them innocent?
Course not.
There are so many factors that are in line with this predicament but it all just goes down to them not going for that extra mile anymore.
Though do you remember when SwSh was announced to be slightly delayed way back in 2018? From being released early 2019 to late 2019? I think they did give a crap. Only a minor one sadly.
It's okay if it was just something like graphics or what not. But no, this is just something unprecedented and uncalled for. Not having all the mons is just........ ???????
The Switch is powerful enough to handle ALL they want and need. There's no excuse in that. I understand the reason they gave and why they said it, but it's complete BS and that's the truth.
For me personally, I'm not that affected by it because I'm one of those "playing the game for fun and enjoying the ride" type of human being.
But for those who dedicated most of their time breeding, shaping and caring their mons from previous games, that shit hurt and I feel for those people.
They've done that out of sheer dedication and then suddenly news like this breaks out, how would you react?
Some fans were out of line obviously with all the death threats, attacking people with opinions and other content creators and everything. Seriously, stop being trash.
The backlash to GF and Nintendo though? 100% deserve. Like, long overdue honestly. They've been doing the same mistakes for a long time and now they are finally paying for it. I don't see it as a punishment, I see it as a wake-up call for them to finally step up.
I feel like this was also intentional though.
I've read an interview where Masuda stated that this is the new direction that Gamefreak will also be doing for the future games. Not adding every mon but only the fitting mons for that respective game.
I still don't know if this is part of an excuse or not but if it is, then welp.
I mean if you think about it, what's the purpose of HOME then? Maybe their intention with HOME is that it would be a standalone gaming hub for the previous mons that cannot be in the future games.
Expanding it further, TPC is focusing more on mobile now. Pokemon HOME may as well be the start of that direction. By not having every mon in SwSh and putting them in HOME, it will gain more attention.
Pokemon fans would actually download the app and pay for in-app purchases. It kinda makes sense.
This is saying if it is intentional or not. Catching them all is the core part of Pokemon, so them getting rid of that doesn't really line up. Unless it was for a reason that is needed business-wise.
Okay.
I think I've said enough.
It kinda took my whole day off to write this lol but I'm glad I got to share my thoughts with all of you.
I just want to pass on one more thing.
If you still choose to be a part of Pokemon and everything that comes with it, then you should've known by now.
We just can't have expectations.
Accept the fact that the TPC will only cater to business, not the games.
Accept that not everything you want Pokemon to be will happen, it's only mindless dreaming.
Accept that the future games will never be perfect as you would hope.
Have ZERO expectations.
That way, you won't get disappointed. THAT way, you'll appreciate every little good thing they will do.
It's your choice to be a part of this community. I mean, I'm here solely for the deep love I have for this thing. Pokemon is a part of me and it'll always make me happy.
The same doesn't go for everyone.
Just don't be a dick. That's all I'm saying.
Enjoy the stuff we got and stop being babies.
Let's all play SwSh with a smile in November. Can we do that? Good.
Okay that's it. Nothing more.
If you've read through all of this,
How?
I appreciate it though
