Thread: BREAKING: BOTW Themed pokemon game finally being released

Its about damn time.

Looks like its based in the Sinnoh region.

gonna be honest, not super psyched about this. I'm actually more excited for the Diamond Pearl Remakes that arent even being made by Gamefreak.



Legends just looks bland. Being open world doesnt' mean it will be better off for it. I hope I'm wrong though.
I just don't think gamefreak has the technical chops or design chops to make a "great" pokemon game.

That would be a top 5 or top 10 goat game for me.

yea but this is gamefreak we are talking about. Maybe I'd have faith in something like that if it was handed to a developer like Monolith Soft.

You mean Pokemon Yellow?

Will probably look cool, but end up not feeling like a "Pokemon" game.

hhnnngggg

fuk the other 1000 pokemans, we just want the OG 151

lag and stuttering in a trailer doesn't bode well for the final product

this game needs 2-3 years to be potentially good and it's coming out in early 2022. that's a "wait for reviews" for me

My childhood dream come true. If anything would make me want to buy a Nintendo this is it.




But this looks like super early footage. Hopefully it looks better in the upcoming months and they get the framerate locked. Keen to see how it ends up being, if there's a chance, i'll still pirate this for PC and play 4k60fps than be tied down to chitty switch specs. BOTW on PC is a completely different game than playing on switch.

Are you guys talking about the Zelda game that ran at like 20 fps? I dont think anyone should be taking advice from that team.

Will save my hype for gameplay and reviews. Last Pokemon I played was Sun/Moon. They really need to evolve their formula and stop making the newest entries so fukking easy. They sure as fuk didn't hold back on the challenge when WE were kids.

Remember the OG elite 4? Mewtwo? Zubats? Miltank? They actually kicked our asses sometimes. Now they wanna act like a kid can't enjoy a Pokemon game unless it's the most simple, braindead game there is.

I know I'm not their target demographic, but I don't give a fuk. Kids don't want a super easy game either.

I’m still disappointed with how easy Sword and shield were. Over powered literally every single battle and didn’t even grind up my Pokémon. Quit playing after like my 6th gym badge. Felt like I was playing a game for 4 year olds (which it was)

Also that phaggot Hop was so cringe and always talking to me every got dam 5 mins. Couldn’t take it.

At least the red/blue/yellow games didn’t hold your hands throughout the full thing. You actually had to figure out where to go and what to do. Sword and Shield basically walked you through the whole dam thing.

Oh yeah, team Yell were cringe also. Not as cringe at Hop but still pissed me off just as much as him.

Just hope this new one doesn’t hold your hand and also if there’s gyms, actually to make them hard to beat

This new game looks like ****.

Fck gamefreak

The first few generations? The gym leaders, rival, and elite four were usually several levels higher than you, and would OHKO you often.

I remember actually having to grind in the old ones.

****, remember Brock if you decided to go Charmander?

I saw that. When that happened it totally threw me.

Man, forgot all about that. You had to put up with bitch ass zubats n chit while pushing rocks around, and if you fukked up, you had to leave and start over/ reload.

I do like some of the new stuff though like reusing tms, hms not mandatory for your Pokémon, and not having to click strength over and over.
