So seems like after all that, guess Gamefreak just doesn't want the National Dex anymore for whatever reason and were just lying about the workload.

If they had just come right out and said "We won't be supporting every specie in every game anymore because we want a tighter grip on competitions/we regret some older designs/we made too many/etc..." instead of "We tried our best and couldn't support all Pokemon in the game because we had to work real hard on curry recipes", then this might not have been such a debacle. There'd still be people pissed, but it would come down to just "That's a stupid decision" instead of all this investigative hacking/journalism to figure out what their problem was.

I don't understand how people go to the gym before work. Like, you need to get changed, drive there, exercise for about an hour, shower, get changed again, drive home, and then continue with your day. That's like an extra 2 hours crammed into the morning.

There's more time in the afternoon. But when we go at like 5:30pm, the place is empty lol.

Most of the positives of a soft reboot without throwing out the National Dex; an actual attempt at writing a good story; excellent soundtrack on par with RSE.


These.

The game genuinely had a good story, something that no other Pokemon game has come close to.
Not just the plot but even the storytelling itself. Despite being Sprite-based still, they found ways to MAKE it feel dynamic and lively. Hell, the way the game ends was WAY different and really cool compared to most Pokemon games.

World felt fresh and new for the first time ever, mostly due to the fact it was the first or set outside of Japan, but also cuz of how they locked away every single older Pokemon and forced you to use new ones. (BUT unlike SwSh, lets you have them post-game)

Like Pug said, it actually felt like a brand new direction/soft reboot for Pokemon for the first and only time IMO. The game as a whole felt polished and like GF put a lot of effort into it compared to most other Pokemon games.

Came in to say BW, BW2, or HGSS.

BW definitely had the best story hands down, but BW2 had the overall most amount of sheer content and stuff to actually do in the game. Plus Gen 5's fly animated sprites were fucking gorgeous.

HGSS were just GSC but remade, with new content, and all the modern QOL stuff we have now.

Which is the stronger-smelling pasta dish? Pesto or puttanesca?


Need opinions for an indie game I'm working on. It's part of a gag involving one of the character having a divisive/strong smelling dish as their favorite food. Not necessarily something repulsive, since I wanted it to be a legit dish, just something with a strong odor. Narrowed it down to these two, since I grew up in an Italian house and am well-acquainted with how much fucking garlic they use lol.

Pepper chicken, the Chinese-American stir fry which uses cracked black pepper as one of its main flavors.

Here's the thing, it's not that these features somehow detract the experience. The problem is Gamefreak said they were removing content like all Pokemon, evolutions, attacks, etc... BECAUSE they wanted to work on polishing the graphics and animations to be great.

So either they lied, or amateur mistakes like that are the best they can do.

I was getting real sick of Christmas myself. As an adult with no kids it boiled down to being a money exchange so to speak, and often that money was better spent elsewhere.

After having kids though, my Christmas spirit was rekindled and now I look forward to it every year. The joy and excitement on their precious little faces makes me so happy. Plus they behave better in December because they don't want Santa skipping our house.


Not trying to start shit, but why didn't you enjoy giving gifts to family, and instead saw it as just money exchange?

I only ask cuz I can sympathize with the second part, but not with kids. One of my favorites things about Christmas is finding the right gifts for my wife, parents, in-laws, and siblings. Like you said, when you get them something they really like and they l they're happy about it, it makes me way happier than when I get any gifts myself. You didn't feel that way with any of your adult family?

50/40= 1.25 + 1 = 2.25 x 50 = 112.5, did you forget the "+1"?

and are you saying you just replace [skill power] with level for standard attacks? Cause that sounds like bad scaling.

Never been a fan of level in attack formulas, its already implied that your strength rises as you level up.


Oh yeah, I think it might be a decimal then, like .1
(I'm not at my computer right now so I can't say for sure)

Basically I wanted the base power of a skill to be the most important part, and the defense/attack to just be a modifier in and of itself, by becoming a decimal.

It might seem iffy in that example, but I have it balanced in-game since I'm going for a lower-end damage/HP scale compared to most RPGs. Not as low as Paper Mario, maybe closer to SMRPG. There's too many RPGs where you're level 20 and your attacks are doing like 700 damage against bosses with like 12,000 HP just s few hours into the game.

I'm with you, tc. I hate formulas like in Pokemon where it's like doing fucking rocket science.
In my indie game, I think the formula I'm using for skills/magic is the ((attackers strength / targets defense)+1) x (Skill Power) x (Modifiers like power ups)

So like if your strength is 50 and the enemy's defense is 40, and the skill you're using has a base power of 50, it would do 62 damage.
(Regular standard attacks I base on your characters level since a standard attack doesn't really need a base power.)
