Short and to the point, three heavy-hitting games that fans have been waiting for. Plus a sweet montage too.

Pokemon always wins, baby.

Literally, since it's the most successful media franchise in history.

A long-ass video intro that was an awkward literal translation of its Japanese version, a 1:1 D/P remake that looks like it belongs on the App Store circa 2012, and a proof of concept open world spin-off that looks like a PSP game.

It really takes that little to appease fans of Pokemon I guess

Presentation could've been a single Powerpoint slide with POKEMON in giant bold lettering and fanboys would still go nuts.

The sad part honestly though is yeah, there are some people who actually would've been like "Well you see! This means they're working on something big! So that's a good thing! I'm glad they did that!"

Good thing that's not what happened though

Gamers really are the worst community lol. there's basically three things that Pokemon fans have been begging for over the last 5-10 years: a new Pokemon Snap, a remake of Diamond & Pearl, and an open world Pokemon game that changes up the formula.

That's literally what they showed in this presentation. The only fanpleaser left they could've done was announced an MMO lol.

I must be the only one in the world who didn't think the Nintendo Direct and State of Play were pure garbage. Yes, the State of Play barely had any new games to show (there was literally that brawler that I forgot the name of...FFVII Remake was just a port with DLC) but I loved seeing more gameplay to existing games, and they look really good. The Nintendo Direct? The Smash reveal and NMH3 footage looked cool, along with that Triangle Strategy game. Remasters of older Square RPGs looked great as well.

Looks like Pokemon Legends is pretty much what people expected out of Sword and Shield?

I am a bit disappointed though that they are just keeping the same old turn base RPG battle system. It would be amazing if they could somehow implement some sort of real time action based combat. I would gladly take a big reduction in the amount of pokemon/attacks available if it meant there was a new free-flowing combat system

They showed real time battling in the trailer.

After the trailer when they did the game explanation thing, they clearly showed it is the traditional pokemon battle system w/ turns, 4 moves, PPs, etc.

This is kinda false. It is using an ATB system like old FF games. So partially turn based partially time based.

My dream would be something closer to Breath of the Wild, but instead of swapping weapons/bombs/shields, it is swapping out physical attacks/special attacks/pokemon...

But any change to the standard battle system has me super hyped!

Yo this game is looking more and more sick. I hope we can move the pokemon around the battle arena as we fight, that would just be the icing on the cake. My hype is up there boys. I'm looking forward to next year.

Also, maybe in in the minority here, but I actually really dug the timeline montage. It was crazy how they included practically everything they released Pokemon-wise. Like, even stuff that never made it to the west like cell-phone trading.

Good way to sum up 25th Anniversary.
