Illusion of Terra Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Have you heard about this? I knew they were planning on releasing a new Pokemon game in 2019, but I didn't know there actually was a trailer out! Here it is What do you think about it? Is this the big Pokemon-RPG they were promoting? Kinda expected it to be different, although I do think the more open world theme looks decent. I don't know about the starters though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geano Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Yes indeed I have, and I have been following it closely as I do most new Pokemon games. I love how it looks, and the new region looks pretty cool too. You can tell though that they are starting to get slightly less creative with the Pokemon designs. Though with that said with as many as there are now, and understanding Gold & Silver were supposed to be the final games in the series I'd say they have done a good job so far including with the now 8th gen games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illusion of Terra Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 (edited) I also think that the franchise in general has done a fantastic job at keeping it interesting. The only thing is that when they announced that it is going to be an "RPG" like Pokemon game I kinda expected something different. Don't really know what, but the name "Sword and Shield" also seems to go into the classic RPG direction. So far it seems a lot like the classic pokemon games only on Switch. Not saying that that's bad, just saying that for some reason I thought they would change it more. As for new ideas on how they look, they should just take a look at the variety of animals there are (especially the lesser known ones). There are some crazy looking animals out there.

Crevanille Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 I'm kinda getting tired of their lazy marketing of Pokemon. I love Pokemon too but C'mon! Sword and Shield? Really? What's next? Pokemon Chair/Table. Pokemon Military/Citizen Pokemon Peanut butter/Jelly Pokemon Pulley/Crowbar. Pokemon Head/Arm Pokemon Smile/Frown Pokemon Noodle/Soup Pokemon Sour/Sweet Pokemon Country/Rock Pokemon Angry/Happy Pokemon College/Grad Pokemon Jupiter/Mars Pokemon Thanos/Warlock Pokemon Ice/Cream Pokemon Tokyo/Beijing Pokemon Apple/Orange Pokemon Hero/Villain Pokemon Grass/Dirt Pokemon Employed/Unemployed Pokemon Rich/Poor Pokemon Flash/Drive Pokemon Baby/Adult I understand their original reason for doing this was not being able to fit a bunch of Pokemon in 1 game but this laziness is becoming ridiculous.

Crevanille Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 I'd actually like to get Pokemon employed/unemployed. Wonder how that game would turn out... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_Sama Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 My brother loves these Pokemon games. They release one every year and it keeps him preoccupied, so he can come home relax and play his video game. He's been playing them since day one and as long as you have dedicated fans like him, this franchise will never die. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is true that it is getting old starting to well show its age shall we say, but Pokemon is one of the most popular game series of all time. It may not be quite what it once was, but it is still awesome for what it dose pull off, and nearly every time there is a new generation something innovative happens both with how you play as well as graphics among other new aspects to this ever growing numbers game. Lately though with the last couple gens in particular 7th I was not all that impressed. I know they were trying to scale down in terms of spicness so I am glad in gen 8 they are bringing it back more toward the original formula. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illusion of Terra Posted March 28, 2019 Author Share Posted March 28, 2019 @ArchieKun I haven't played the latest generations yet but in general I think it was great that they always included something innovative like you say. The games keep to the core concept, making them Pokemon games, but always add something new, and because the style always changes, at least to me, it always seems that there are just enough new things. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, and this time they will be on the Switch so of course it is a bit better of a system then the 3ds/2ds so the game can be more like a full fledged console game with console game graphics as well as features. Though of course the Switch can also be portable so you can still play it on the go like any other Pokemon title so far from the main line games which I think is hella dope personally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seshi Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Probably not @Digimon_Sommelier could you think of a plausible Pokémon named eel roll? Or how about Unagi Don! The real problem would be their attacks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digimon_Sommelier Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Pokemon Lunar and Pokemon Solar Editions would be - oh, wait . . . it's too similar to Sun and Moon!! Dang it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serge heartless Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 as much as I like Pokemon, their wifi battles have always been pretty trash. Pokemon lets go wifi battles you might as well not even play if someone has mewto and melmetal on the same team. You think they would have a option to ban legends from wifi battles.
