I don't have any kids, so I have no need for this app.
---

I cant believe theyre doing Snap

why now
---

I was excited for Zeraora raids and then I read the small print, and it said the ones you fight can't be caught... Well better hope people kill a million of those fuckers.

---

hope that big project isnt just the dp remakes

---

Hope that the big project is exactly that

---

I hope it's not either, because I'd hate for them to come out this year and be just as rushed as Sword/Shield. And if they're not coming out this year then there's no need to announce them so early.

---

Less than 40 minutes left until today's Pokemon Presents livestream happens. It was confirmed last week that there would be another livestream happening on this day, so I'm interested to see what they will reveal this time.

DotAmon

---

The Pokemon DotA game is called "Pokemon Unite".

The game will be available on both Switch and Mobile, and will also support cross-platform play.
---

snoozer

---

This is somehow worse than that toothbrush thing
---

I will say I don't like it but I probably will.

---

I wonder why they didn't just combine the presentation from this week with the one from the previous week.

---

Fuck this

---

Also I appreciate that we all wanted remakes instead of new content so when they give us a new game we are like 'this sucks.'


---

I don't mind even if it's not for me.

I just don't get why it needed its own presentation when there was another one a week away.

---

Really its the tencent involvement that rubs me the wrong way.
Their choice in the end tho.
---

as someone who plays all too much league of legends, Im excited for this to be able to play with some of my non-MOBA playing friends. I was able to play Heroes of the Storm with them for a while and this seems to be a similar sort of thing.

i imagine itll make billions of dollars in China on mobile too, Tencent literally prints money there

---

Looks neat. The level up mechanic of MOBAs works really well for Pokemon

---

Pass

looks neat enough I might give pokemoba a try even if it's not my kinda thing to stick with

but yeah I can imagine this doing very well

---

Why so many dislikes?

I was never a fan of LoL but a lot of people are and it looks exactly like that

Of course, a chinese version of LoL, but still

---

eh a lot of people probably liking it doesn't mean it'll be in most B8's interest, I mean look at Fortnite

throw in hopes/expectations from a separate presentation and the reaction isn't a surprise

In reality though the presentation makes sense still because PokeMOBA from Tencent will be a big deal with potential broad appeal... just not universally, or for this matter, on B8

Why
What did people expect?
There won't be gen 9 anytime soon
And it doesn't seem like they will drop DPPT remakew without any hints before

---

it's more MOBA is literally the worst genre of video game

---

I think the main problem is they just had an announcement video last week and deliberately kept this out of it as a big, separate announcement, so people had an extra week to get their hopes up. If this had been revealed last week it would be less unpalatable.

---

probably could've lightened the expectations by ending the last Presents with a tease on what this was, or just like "our new collab with Tencent" or something

---

There were rumors and "leaks" all week too anyway.
---

Charizard gonna get Draven deboost.

Good!

---

8 Gen 1s and 2 non lmao

---

"free to start" is Nintendo's consistent synonymous terminology for "free to play".

Well like it or not, considering that they're trying to sell this to a slightly different audience this makes a lot of sense.

---

can't wait to ? ping my teammates in this

I'm not sure who their target audience even is besides, uh, Chinese people.

Are you ever going to stop going on about this?

---

Also they're doing a good job diversifying the brand and getting their fingers in every genre pie they can but I am personally not touching this

Nope!

Huh not sure if interested or not. Gonna need more details

Hey, at least I'll give them props for picking Talonflame rather than just going Lucario/Greninja.

Missed that pokemon unite has surpassed metroid prime federation force as the most disliked video on nintendo's YouTube channel
