I love how the Pokemon community was all "No way is Gen 9 coming this year, PLA just released, and it's too soon" As if BDSP didn't just release 2 months ago, and that 3 years for a new Generation has been the norm for over a decade.

Anything else good in the Direct? Both the main and UK channels overdubbed Ishihara, so I lost all motivation to watch it live.

I was impressed and I've been very unhappy with Pokemon's current direction for a while now.

It may look nice and be time for another generation, but I feel PLA is the direction most Pokemon fans want at this time. We'll see soon enough, however.

i'm hoping for a nice blend of traditional and arceus. keep a lot of the arceus gameplay but bring back some of the traditional things they got rid of. more trainer battles would be nice and i really miss TMs and certain moves (RIP return, double edge sucks ass).

The graphics and animations still look like shit. I wish they'd take some pride in what they make by adding some much needed polish, Pokemon deserves better.

Also, no Pokemon Bank support for BDSP. It's been 4 months since launch and the game is still missing basic features.

So if SV is based on Portugal and Spain, does that mean we might visit Kalos in either postgame or DLC? :0

It's the direction that I don't want, but it's the inevitable direction as Pokemon becomes one of those titles like Dark Souls and Zelda.

Sword is bad and you shouldn't play it. If you want to do competitive, play showdown in the meantime.

Sword is bad, but it has redeeming qualities. It has a lot of features and quality of life changes that makes competitive more accessible. Things like vitamins can fully EV train instead of just going to 100. Pokemon in the daycare can teach each other egg moves. You can give Pokemon mints to change their nature. The DLC added Hidden Ability capsules. Etc. Also decent game for shiny hunting, but idk how much people do raids and adventures anymore, which is like the main things for getting shinies and they're multiplayer too.

One could argue that this new buddy is in fact the snek rep, since they already played loose with the rat rep, I suppose.

I would like a fire sheep starter, though, tbh. Sounds cute.

Well is there really a point in playing it if the next generation is so close to being released? I'm going through my Steam backlog right now anyway so it would be a long time to even touch it.
