Looks like I’ll just get the game then

Really enjoying pokemon unite (Slowbro is fecking shit on this though my God)
Pokemon Presents live in 30~ minutes.
English stream. 29k waiting so far.
Growlithe has a new form?!
I thought that was a noivern but it's a braviary?!
Yeah they've unsurprisingly put a few new forms in. PLA looks more interesting, and nice they'll get Pokemon Home support in 2022.
The 3 starters in PLA has to have new evolution forms considering what they've teased with Growlithe and the others right?!
I don't think so as the professor brought them in from other regions but I don't think we've seen any of them in their evolved forms in PLA so there might be a surprise.
Legends Arceus looks really good, although is it just me or did the textures look terrible in the video?
That makes sense. It just struck me that all these new forms pokemon basically went extinct that's why we didn't see them in Sinnoh in the main games
It's gamefreak, expectations have to be set low when it comes to visuals.
This’ll be the first time I’ve pre ordered a Pokemon game. Definitely going for both. I’m so excited 
Btw just a heads up there’s an ongoing event for sword & shield til the end of this month. Go into your local GAME store and they’ll give you a free code to (I think) encounter a legendary pokemon.
Started playing Pokemon Unite last month and I was stomping kids in early ranked matches that I felt bad about it. But near Master rank, in soloqueue the game did my head in, you are matched with either team mates that don't know their roles (how did they climb the rank then??) or against a premade team that stomps you because they're 10x more coordinated than a soloque team. How are they matching soloqueue team with premade team, I don't know. The match making is fecking shit. But I love this game, have always wanted Pokemon MOBA.
Brilliant Diamond / Pearl worth picking up?
Can't wait for for Arcues
I want to be excited for it, but the gameplay looks quite shallow in my opinion. So I'm holding out until we get a few reviews in.Can't wait for for Arcues
It's really, really good.
I'd suggest playing it and enjoying it for what it is first, but once you have, I'm sure like most people you'd think there is so much they can improve on. If they do that, the future looks promising.

For 2022 is it really though? I just cannot get past how poor the graphics are for a game in 2022. It's just not acceptable.
But do the graphics affect your enjoyment of the game? Pokemon has never really had good graphics and it's made for weaker systems.
I'm not quite sure why the graphics are such an issue? As said above, Pokemon hasn't really ever had great graphics. I enjoyed Sword & Shield and Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl as well.
I thought Sword and shield had better graphics. Nonetheless its an enjoyable game and fun dynamics in catching pokemon whilst being rewarded for different methods
That duck be like
I ordered a Switch mainly for Pokémon and Zelda. Even though the Switch is not officially supported in my country and the device comes with no warranty! I have played most gens on an emulator on my phone.
My Switch is coming in tomorrow. Currently going to purchase SwSh, but proper excited for Gen 9! And yes, I know, it’s the same old Pokémon and the devs suck. But I’ll still love it, cause it’s Pokémon!

Never will be bored of them bringing out new games. Take my money!
Is the new region meant to be Spain?
Spain and Portugal, apparently.
I wonder if there will be a pokemon or character based on Ronaldo.
Why are the Reddit community so obsessed with shiny Pokémon? My God!

Looking forward to sorting out the National Dex again.
New trailer out for S/V

Looks like Gamefreak reverted back to static game mechanics. Shame. So Legend Arceus was indeed an experiment.
Looks ok though, they should really add voice acting in the mainline games. It's getting silly now.
Don't get your hopes up the four players mode will add to the experience. It will be very gimmicky.

Why is there a pokemon game or two every year? These guys should focus on producing a proper RPG game. Arceus, whilst enjoyable, lacked in so many aspects.
Feel like pure shit, just want a gen 1-3 super remake for the Switch
Money.
The Pokemon Company is on a strict schedule. The marketing needs to line up for the toys, cards, anime etc. They're quite restricted in how long they can actually take to develop a particular game. They've branched out a bit more lately to bring us different experiences, but the main games are typically on that three year cycle. What is frustrating, however, is that Pokemon makes so much money that they could definitely increase the size of the development team to produce a much more polished title if they wished.
Unfortunately, the difference in cost of development vs. Increased sales from making a more aesthetically pleasing game would result in less profit (I assume), so it isn't something they'll actively pursue. All of us internet nerds actually make up a minimal percentage of people who buy the games. It just seems like we have the bigger voice because it's the only one we see. 90%~ of the sales are still kids (parents buying who have no clue) and people who don't bother to go complaining online about how nice the trees look.
Regardless, Scarlet and Violet will have been in development alongside Legends Arceus or maybe even a lot of the development before it. They took a risk with Legends to see what we thought, but realistically with them making the games at the same time, they didn't want to go 'all-in' on something that might not have been well received.
These games are actually far closer to Legends Arceus than I thought they'd be. I was expecting them to be much closer to Sword & Shield.
