Was anyone else surprised this ended up being peak sovl?
>>736413803Eh?It was just Dragon Quest Builders, but with fewer mechanics and a Pokemon skin.
>>736413803Scyther looks so weird with his little head
>>736413803>Was anyone else surprised this ended up being peak sovl?No, it was pretty obvious from the reveal that this was gonna be peak. It was sad to see how many people have not taken the Dragon Quest Builders pill. You should give the sequel a try, it's the more expansive of the two. Pokopia has it beat in vibes and charm, but I still think DQB2 is the better game overall even though I'm more attached to Pokémon.
>>736413803>Pokemon fans when they get to play any other genre of games besides the main game snoozefest
>>736414364lol yes
>>736414084Builders has an interesting hook of "what if the hero in DQ1 did take the Dragon Lords offer and side with him and the cost was people losing the ability to imagine or create new things?" but it ultimately, like most Dragon Quest games, abandons it midway in favour of same shit different day.Pokopia sticks to its idea of "humans destroyed the environment and abandoned the earth, leaving the pokemon in the PC storage system till the world was habitable again" from start to finish, but with a nice twist that its actually Team Rocket being the reason Ditto was released and why the worlds being revived at all.Both had that "visit a place from a game you played as a kid, but now in ruins" stuff going on but i feel Pokopia actually pulls off the balance of melancholy and upbeat slice of life far better whereas due to the nature of nobody knowing what they lost in Builders its largely "WELL THATS WELL WIERD INNIT BRUV? AH WELL, TOIME TO BUILD THIS BIG SHIELD AND THATS FER TRUE" and it just doesn't hit as hard as the whole Tangrowth story you get from his lines and Oaks notes left behind.To say nothing of all the stuff like "the reason you are finding CD's is because AI datacenters consumed so many resources music streaming became a thing of the past and owning a Compact Disc that didnt charge a sub became a novelty for our great great grandkids as the world slowly became uninhabitable". That stuff hits hard, all the more so because Ditto cannot read so you know all this stuff but the pokemon never do.
Do you eventually unlock like a main storage where you can put in everything? Building a hundred seperate storage boxes in a game like this seems like a chore
And they'll never update or add new content to it and just abandon it like every single other Nintendo game when it's the perfect candidate to be updated regularly for years
>>736414561Best i ever got was a 5 page inventory on ditto, the 3 page chests and Swallot and Gulpin.
>>736413803YOU CAN TRANSFORM INTO A TOILET AND POKEMON WILL SIT ON YOU. 10/10 GAME.
>>736414605I'd pay good money for an expansion that adds places like Ecruteak City.
>>736414605>full release game doesn't get content updates like anon's favourite live service sloppa fr nigga gaming is dead ong
>>736414735Johto...home...
>>736414773Minecraft is still getting regular updates 15 years later. Meanwhile Animal Crossing got nothing and this will get nothing.Sorry you hate literal decades of replayability and value for money all for free you good little goy cuck. Go save up for next pokemon product
I liked it more than ZA and that shocked me. But in hindsight i think i like the more rural settings of pokemon more. Maybe thats why Gold/Silver is my favourite with its whole "rural countryside trying to preserve its roots as modernity creeps westward" vibe?
>>736414084It was Dragon Quest Builders without the worst feature of Dragon Quest Builders (combat).
>>736414820We've known about Pokopia getting DLC and what the DLC will be since last year from the Teraleak. The DLC should've been out by now, but they delayed the base game from fall of last year to March of this year.
>>736414469I mean plot wise sure, rock what you're gonna rock, but I feel like if you're playing these games for the plot, you've kinda lost the point. The plot is an excuse to slowly tutorialize you on how to build things, manage resources, ect. You'd never read a 30 page tutorial on how to adjust humidity or whatever the fuck, so the main story exists to make that digestible. It can be good and that's good, but the point of a game like this is, well, building shit. And if all you're gonna do is the bare minimum to get credits to roll, I don't know what else to say.
>>736414953whats the dlcs my nigga?
>>736414978The other parts/ cities/ towns of Kanto.
>>736414735If people make this stuff, are other players able to explore it?
game looks fun but the gamekeys are the hill i have decided to die on.
>>736415032I wonder what they could do to make that interesting. Fuscia has the whole abandoned safari zone vibe, Vermillion has the power grid aspect, Pewter has mt.moon erupting and Saffron has Mewtwo raising the whole city into a mountain range. What do you do for Cerulean, Lavendar Town and Viridian when its all land locked?Like Cinnibar i can get. Big volcano island with an abandoned mansion lab, maybe throw in Seafoam or a missingno reference and that writes itself. Maybe Lavender towns tower collapses over or cerulean floods and becomes a marsh/swampland?>>736415112I bought it digital FUCK gamekeys, all my homies hate gamekeys.
>>736414605I'm pretty sure the teraleak had DLC scheduled for Pokopia
>>736415045Yes you just share the files. A guy made it his autistic mission to build all of Kanto when the pokecraft mods dropped.
>>736415134Ditto get Ipad
>>736415258>"Our ditto started calling Jynx slurs"
>>736415160Oh I'm fucking retarded, I thought that was Pokopia
>>736415134>Veridian City: completely swallowed by Veridian Forest, like houses have their roofs gone and trees growing out the living room floor>Ceruleuan City: Mt.Moon erupting caused upheaval and now the town is sunken ruins in a marshland>Lavender Town: Ironic Ghost town where drought has turned it into a badlands of tumbleweeds and cactus>Celadon: All the underground tunnels built by Team Rocket lead to sinkholes and a foreign jungle has grown out of the gym from all the transplanted plants>Cinnibar Island: The volcano has one of those sideways eruptions and the mansion is half consumed by lava flows, but also the remains of the launching ground for the ships humanity left the earth in.>Victory Road: Failed attempt at an underground Bunker>Mt.Silver: The last holdout of humanity and where Ditto can find Arceus at the end of it all.
>>736415134>CeruleanLeast likelyThe only interesting things about Cerulean are Mewtwo (already in Saffron), and Cerulean Cape (there's already Vermillion for the coastal vibe)Viridian has the forest, and could bleed over into Pallette and the League, but the forest is the only really interesting part, and that's also a little Safari Zone-ish.Lavender has potential, but is too small on its own. Could be a point for Cerulean.Cinnibar is the next best choice. Though, again, Mewtwo ain't here. Honestly I think Johto is the most likely case. With both Lugia and Ho-Oh in the sky as they are, they make sense. Maybe just Ecruteak, maybe there's a funny Viridian/League/New Bark/Mt. Silver area and then a more Johto proper one.
>>736415459Not yet but the builds i've seen including a working tokyo metro who knows. I think you save them as "cloud lands" people can visit.
>>736413803>Ends up being the game that made all my friends finally buy a Switch 2 when all the shit like Mario Kart turning into open world sloppa failed.fake, and dare i sayretarded
>>736415486Considering how they made Saffron into "Tinkaton gets real autistic" i wouldn't be shocked if Lake of Rage becomes a "why is garados so butt-mad?" focussed map. a big ring of national park style builds around a central lake.
>>736415614It actually did sell my friends on buying the console. I saw a lot of "fuck i can't afford a switch 2 right now" comments online as well. But people bought a Gamecube back in the day for Luigi's Mansion so you never can tell what is going to be a big system seller for Nintendo. Remember nobody gave a fuck about the 3DS and Ocarino of Time 3D. Sometimes the freak pick wins out.
>>736415614Friend, sweet babygurl, what games do you think have been selling the latest generation of consoles?Go on. Have a guess.
>>736415614nigga i know someone who bought a vita for minecraft never assume a game wont sell a system.
It looked like that's exactly what it would be. Surprise surprise it did.People on here just hate Gamefreak/Nintendo and assume anything with the pokemon label should fail for its own good.
>>736413803I don't enjoy the game but I really appreciate the love and personalities they gave to the pokemon + cool lore stuff they reference. Really soulful experience, surprised to see this from modern TPC and gamefreak. That said romhacks are still better
>>736419392It will always anger my autism that Game Freak doesn't nickname the pokemon.
>>736415614> NO! PEOPLE CAN'T BUY OTHER GAMES BEFORE MARIO KART! MY WORLDVIEW CAN'T ACCEPT IT!Seek help Mariofag
>>736418845no i just think they will whore it out for anything like evangelion.
>>736419572>hasnt met Peakychu
It's just Animal Crossing. "Ennui" is not a sign of a good Nintendo game lol.
>2026>still not a game where you can walk around IRL battling and participating in the Pokemon fantasy of walking around and battlingAnyway, don't you guys have a board for this shit?
