could they have really delayed her JUST because of the teraleak?
>>56890340no
>>56890340please understand, they've never made a city with more than 10 (actual) buildings before
>1000 total buildings>can only access 30 because muh aesthetics n'shiiiiieeettttI will never understand this
No you stupid cunt, it was never planed for an early '25 release and fuckwits like you STILL fucking expected it, to the point you spent all summer, even AFTER Game Freak announced the tera raid and outbreak events for the summer, saying they'd ABSOLUTELY air a news video at Worlds.
>>56890408That's because you think they're not just making a kid's game, but instead trying to entertain you, an adult, playing a kiddy game above age-appropriate efforts.
>>56890410They honestly shouldn't have even bothered teasing it, they should just adopt the new nintendo marketing strategy where they just announce it a few months before release right when they'd normally start the dedicated marketing push.
>>56890432they want brownie points for spending extra time, like the fans wanted, they can't redeem them without putting in their clock-in ticket early.
>>56890432Oh no, they were right to, to nip the endless bitching about NO news for the entirety of 2024 right in the bud. Not their fault the majority of you cunts are illiterate and unable to think critically to save your lives (ie "game announced for '2025' not 'early 2025', like last game, so maybe game isn't early '25 release"). I'll admit, I didn't think we'd get a gap year. But I expected something like LGPE or by ILCA/similar shat out for '24 to give them time to make L: Z-A for their traditional window in '25. When that didn't happen, I knew gap year was on. They DO take them every ten-ish years give or take.
>>56890340>her>49.9% male
>>56890442Even at the MOST optimistic timeframe, they're still only giving this shit two production years, same as ALL their mid-Gen projects' total time and all their new Gen pair projects' development time. They announced it so early because the last time they took a gap year, they had nothing to head off their newest challenger. This way makes it harder for any new kids IP to emerge and catch a march on them, as they have a new project incoming before their next New Gen pair in the anniversary year.
Even if it was delayed by the leaks, the revelation that it only had two years of development is a blessing-in-disguise. Look at the technical problems of SV which had three years, you think that they will pull off something better with even less time?
>>56890340No. Everything else gets going and revealung just fine (merch, mobile games, SV raids, anime) why would just this game's promtion get a delay? No. There's something weird going in with this game, right from the start. No trailers, no details, no updates, no nothing. This is either gonna end up a great game or a total failure because by calling it "an ambitious new project" (by themselves!) they've set thr bar quitei high. If the game will be poor after all this hyping up and long break (for GF standards) then they'll become a huge laughing stock. Way bigger than recently
>>56890410Mental illness
>>56890518What is? Pointing out you're all either illiterate or ESL?Probably should have worked harder on your comprehension skills when they were giving you school for free Pedro.
>>56890340The game itself? Maybe not. But news/info regarding the game? Almost certainly.Personally I think info for Z-A has been delayed twice. First, I think the Switch 2 delay made them rethink/push back revealing information since it'll probably be a cross-console launch. Then of course the TeraLeak probably made them cancel any new information until Pokemon Day of next year. Like any news events they probably scrapped.
>>56890790You're delusional then, if the Switch 2 was a concern, they wouldn't have announced it flat-out, as Nintendo wouldn't have let them (there's already scuttlebutt from industry insiders claiming they're excited for the amount of "big boy" game series' new entries listed for PC/Xbox/PS and Nintendo's new system but no official word from studios about their plans, because they're waiting on Nintendo). That they announced L: Z-A for Switch meant whatever was happening with the new system was irrelevant, leaks said backwards compatibility and Nintendo eventually confirmed it, meaning they weren't leaning on Pokémon to make it happen, but could get Pokémon players to potentially upgrade early. And if they weren't bothered about Switch 2 noise, why would they bother with Teraleak, when leaks of that size and nature generally result in studios showing their plans earlier than intended, not pushed back, much less pushed back conveniently to the timeframe they'd long established as one of their big news reveals days. Ocam's razor says it's most likely they weren't planning on saying shit until next year and kids needed to believe they'd get their security blankey by november to fend off the winter.
>>56890340There is definitely an internal change to their plans after the leak. They can't surprise people with mega Zeraora now since everyone knows it exists
>>56890835>cancelled mega for a dumbass furry shillmonsabsolutely based if true
The only people more annoying than the people who want news are the people who feel the need to chasitize those who dared to want to see news. We get it, you're the mature adult... on the 4chan Pokémon board...
>>56890946she's right though
>>56890408Don't play a GTA game, you'll have a stroke.
>>56890835But they can because no one knows what mega Zeraora or Zygarde looks like and honestly those probably wouldnt be used in promo campiagn just like Dialga and Palkia forms werent revealed until post Legends Arceus release.
>>56890340No I don’t think things about Z-A were delayed. I still think they’ll show the next true news of Pokemon Legends Z-A on Pokemon Day next year.
>>56890340No. It was always a late 2025 release.Learn to accept that they took an off year. It's better for the game
It was blatantly obvious they announced this game early because of Palworld
>>56891217hell nah bitch
>>56890790Switch 2 was never delayed.
>>56890457>>56890470>>56890818>MUST>RECONCILE>PATTERNSSSschizophrenic is back
>>56890408>>56891140MURTI BIRRION COUMPANEY PURISU UNDERSTANDOH
>>56890340Or maybe it was cancelled quietly. They havent updated as with any tiny news, heck even acknowledged its existence since February. To say its bizarre in this day and age, especially when mobile games/anime/SV are getting regular news, events and updates is like saying nothing
>>56891217Get well again zygarde I believe in you
>>56891677>To say its bizarre in this day and age, especially when mobile games/anime/SV are getting regular news, events and updates is like saying nothingThat's pretty standard for anything that isn't a fighting game dude. Hell you're lucky it's not a AAA game where you get no news for like 5 years.
>>56890340>Calling a video game a herDo pokesluttas really?
>>56892355Not a standard for Pokemon and GF, especially in the last 15 years or so
>>56890790>Then of course the TeraLeak probably made them cancel any new information until Pokemon Day of next year. Like any news events they probably scrapped.How can anyone think the TeraLeak has any impact when, first, it's been shared everywhere that the leaker won't give info on these games so even GameFreak has to know that but, secondly and more importantly, you really think a company making that much money cares to delay a game or info because a few dumbasses will learn shit in advance through leaks? Gen 10 would be finished and leaked 1 year in advance, they would still sell it as well as they would and they wouldn't change anything in the game they wouldn't have anyway during that time.Little Jimmy and his parents aren't aware of some leaks and will still buy the next popular vidya game and the merchs because Jimmy watches some anime call Pokeyman, which is what you can easily expect from most of their consumers. Anyone thinking they will waste time and money to change their plans is delusional, we have no say or power with these leaks, it won't change anything for us and for them : anyone calling ZA or Gen 10 shit even before knowing any info will keep on hating, anyone who were interested already will still buy and no amount of new info will change what the majority will and has always been doing. That's why swing states are a thing, only a minority has a change of heart, most will stay the fucking same and keep buying or hating.
>>56891677Having some memory issues anon? Arceus had the same exact treatment, we didn't get news until the very end and it wasn't that much info, it's not a main game for them so they don't bother to get early news out. That's also why the game leaking a few days early was crucial in me choosing to buy it or not this time, we learned so much about the game compared to what they shared at that time (and even after tbf)
>>56893299Arcues was revealed in February with a trailer, starters, protagonists, gameplay. Then it got the second trailer in August and later on got further reveals every once in a while. Legends ZA has a small teaser and a logo. Thats it. And we're nearing 9 months since the reveal with not a single sign that something may come anytime soon.Dont be surprised if by the next Pokemon Day there's no ZA news and instead you get another mobile game reveal.
>>56893492Ignoring a whole shitload of context there kid. L: A was announced alongside BDSP, as they were two parts of a whole. SV was also set for November '22, meaning they had to launch L: A as soon as possible after BDSP's Nov release, to ensure they COULD start reveals and marketing for SV. They also have to hold to Nintendo's marketing roadmap, meaning no massive gluts of information about new upcoming games, until the game is 6 months from launch.L: Z-A wasn't intended to appear any time within the first 6 months of 2025 and as it still hasn't passed 8 months to launch (for localisation to start) or 6 months to launch (for video reveals to begin running) small wonder there hasn't been any info about the game. And likely won't start until around Pokémon day, as that's about 8 months before any eventual November release date they've launched with. Can you mongs stop chimping out every time vidya game studios confuse you?
>>56890340Did they even leak any info on ZA?
>>56894076Leakers are keeping a tight lid on it, despite claiming they have the source code and a native PC build.
>>56890340Remember when we said it was because of Palmeme?
>>56892365she's not wrong though
>>56893726Except LA had a full ass reveal a year before it was relessed. LZA still has nothing at all despite the fact that it was revealed almost 9 months ago....
>>56890835I hope that Mega Zeraora get scrapped
Jesus Christ what is with this wall-typing schizo?
>>56896373>Why are people writing text in this text based medium
>pokenerds can't handle no news
>>56890340LET THEM COOK!
>>56895949>STILL ignoring contextThey also said it was launching "2025". 2025 is 365 days long and immediately half of that is ruled out by the fact they didn't announce it as "Early 2025" (proving they didn't plan or intend this shit to launch mid-January, because they had no other releases around it FORCING it to launch mid-Jan, like the last Legends game, tied so heavily to BDSP, in essence Game Freak's Gen 8 Sinnoh game while simultaneously being planned to be replaced by the next new Gen pair of SV later in 2022).Sorry (You)'re a retard unable to read context but that's why you're crying over a kid's game, because they took a year out to protect their IP.
>>56891217More like because of remake expectations. Only retards thought palworld wasn’t a timeflop
>>56896648To protect what exactly. I think you're the one missing the point. The various insiders hinted at spring release. Even if thats not the case and it would release in November 2025 its still unusual for GF to go completely off for such a long time about a game that they revealed for some reason. Something's weird going on right now and the fact they're making the very first Pokemon game focused on a big city makes me think there are some big issues with the development and thats why they cant show anything.But then you have Khu who says ZA merch will be on sale in January so i suppose we two months to find out. Unless he's wrong again though that would fuck up his credibility even more than it already is...
>>56896665>we two monthsWe have two months
>>56896665Their empire, you blind little cunt. Yo-Kai watch sold some toys and everyone lost their collective minds that pokémon was slipping. Well, the window for any cunt to do that again was 2024 because after Pokémon day '25, we have 9 straight years of game releases again. They took the gap year by inserting it between releases meaning slim chances of anyone pulling a fast one on them again and absolutely not leaving the end of the Gen fallow like in 2015, where they hamstrung themselves cancelling a rehash then watching as they had nothing to promote their brand with until 2016. By the very fact they're releasing something in the last year of the 10-year stretch they're killing off any chances of anyone getting brave and trying to steal their demo.
>>56896672inb4 za just shadow releases in a week and a few days from now
>>56896712>the window for any cunt to do that again was 2024I can believe we wasted our once a decade pokemon killer birth on fucking palword
>>56894076Stunfisk is in
>>56896722>chinkshitWas never a "pokémon killer" kid. If anything, it was what would have been a perfect filter removing the edgy tards from the Pokémon fanbase by being "pokémon but edgy as fuck for teenagers too kewl for kid's games". But as soon as they gave it a 12's with weaponry, it lost all hope of being approved for kids (contrast L: A which while also a 12's, earns that as a result of pokémon directly striking the player and explained as being a defensive measure against territorial threats while the rest of the game is the same kiddy-friendly pokémon games everyone's played prior).
>>56890340Hope they canned it and have started working on gen 10 instead. Nobody asked for pla 2.
>>56890340I hope they keep working on it and cancel gen 10. Nobody asked for another gen.
>>56890432Say what you will about Netflix (and I realize a streaming platform is different than a video game company) but I like their strategy of putting out a trailer for something that is usually releasing within a month or two. Or maybe I'm just impatient.
>>56890342Fpbp/threadOP BTFOThis
>>56890432I wish more games would do that in general.
>>56890340are you retarded?
>>56897027Dude, they announced L: A as being "a new direction for the pokémon series". That meant barring an utter unsellable dud, there was going to be MORE Legends games as soon as time passed. They're finished with rehashes, they've divested themselves of remakes, they were going to add some kind of new series to fill a third year when they go back to 3 year Gens.
>>56890413I have less desire to enter every building as an adult, but would go insane I couldn't as a child.
>>56890340It's not delayed, it's already 99% finished.The plan was always "announce on Pokemon Day 2024 so retards don't spout 'POKEMON IS LE DEAD!??!!?! PALWORLD WON!?!?!?!?!?!?!', but don't show anything until Pokemon Day 2025 because we legally aren't allowed to do so under Nintendo's terms of not being able to fully market a game traditionally until it's six months from release."
uhhhhh no uhuhuuhuhhuhuhu
