How do you have this presentation, and the Pokmon day presentation and announce 0 new games? My expectations were low but holy fuck.

DLC looked decent but the presentation as a whole, YEESH.

Not even regarding the lack of new game announcements (I didn't really expect any) but to spend so long talking about events for mobile games and stuff. Ew.

Yeah, it was pretty bad. Zero new games, almost entirely side game stuff and stuff we already knew. But...

The new paradox Raikou might genuinely be the stupidest Pokemon that I've ever seen and I love it.

Probably because its too early for a new game? Outside a Mystery Dungeon anyhow.

I mean, I'd love if they announced RBY and could load your mon onto Stadium.

Imagine the cross compatibility of RBY on other pokemon games for the Switch, it'd be great.

Future reference, the only showcases worth watching are

Nintendo Directs
Certain Nintendo Exclusive Game Direct (Smash, Mario, Zelda)
Squeenix Direct if a mainline game is the focus
Summer Games Fest
TGS but only big or mainline JRPGs
Game Awards

Anything else is a waste of time

I'm glad they didn't announce any games. Pokemon Scarlet/Violet couldn't have had more than a two year turnaround, and the game was a broken, unoptimised mess on launch. The team went from SwSh and its DLC into Legends Arceus into A/V over the span of four years, give Game Freak a break.

That being said, it was mostly just "here's competitive Pokemon, here's some live service game updates, here's some DLC". They released a couple of sidegames, one that I'm not interested in playing and the other one on a service I'm not interested in paying for. It was a waste of my time.

They could have released a Pokemon R/B/Y pack on the eShop and it would have been something. Like companies release packs of their ROMs all the time, look at the Puzzle Fighter collection and a bunch of those SNK handheld collections or the Castlevania Advance Collection. I'd rather them come to NSO, but selling them again is an option.

I don't care that they didn't announce a new game. I actually hope they go for a year or two without announcing any new games, I want the devs to finish up development on S/V and begin work on a new project in earnest before we have the Pokemon Company going "NEW GAME NEW GAME THIS AUGUST THERE'S A NEW GAME GET EXCITED", releasing a broken product and having a swarm of turds assert that the game is fine, it's just a broken piece of shit because the Switch isn't powerful enough to run it.

I would have liked a more personally accessible way of playing some of the older games though.

Pokemon Presents are always underwhelming. They waste so much time on fluff and when they finally get to the actual game news, they tend to reveal little at all.

In the last one, they even spent more time on Pokemon Sleep than the SV DLC. And even here, they only dedicated 5 minutes out of a 35-minute presentation to it.

What the fuck is that? Is that supposed to be an evolved form of Raikou?

This is coming from someone who's only finished up to Pokemon X and Y.

Its a Paradox Pokemon. SV introduced them as sort of alternative takes on Pokemon. Scarlet utilizes more prehistoric designs for Pokemon while Violet is more futuristic. So Dinosaurs versus Robots

I'm so fucking lost. Shit I need to continue playing through the games and this is convincing me to finally get off my ass and do it.

They've pretty much given up on spinoffs that they can't also or exclusively release on mobile platforms.

Granted, I supposed a Ranger game would theoretically work on mobile, but could phone screens handle how much you'd have to spin circles around Pokemon?

Or really that sort of spin off was really made for one system in mind.

It still is. Even taking aside the visual/aesthetic bugs, Tera Raids (especially the online experience) are some of the jankiest crap I've ever seen in the entire franchise. At least the Sword/Shield raids actually more or less worked properly, even if they were slower paced (in fact, I think part of the problem with Tera Raids is that they try to have too much happening too fast, to the point they shoot themselves in the foot and ironically end up looking bogged down as a result)

But yeah, I agree. After BDSP and SV, I have no idea what else people are expecting from trying to push even more rushed releases. Do they not realize by now that if they get what they want, it's just going to be more of the same?
