I want to KILL whoever coined the term "Donut Energy"

>>58731348
Waiting to see more from others before deciding to buy but as of now I’ll probably be skipping this like the last two DLCs. Mega Staraptor is cool tho

>>58731348
It’s the opposite of the teal mask and indigo disk where on the outside it’s barrent and has nothing to do but the plot and characters are peak and the areas are fun, while with indigo disk it looks content filled but holy fuck was it torture to play through, from beginning to end I hated every second of it.

Pic related is the verdict.

I see people are crying already because 1h30m of content was locked in the disk for the price of 30 dollars, as well as some sidequest-tier chores and a handful of megas.

But you all bought it.

It is funny that Expedition 33 won the game awards and instead of rewarding itself, it released a free DLC that is 12 hours of content.

Meanwhile you have to pay 33 dollars for this garbage copy paste and voiceless, soundless cutscenes.

>>58731348
It pretty objectively adds "less" than the last two DLCs while being the same price, which is ass, but I'd be lying if I said I'm not having more fun playing through it than them either. The Hyperspace->do tasks->get Hyperspace Berries->use Berries to make better donuts and enter Hyperspace again loop itches my Roguelite/like rotted brain given three of those are in my Top 10 games of all time (Spelunky, Nuclear Throne, TBOI).
If this was only 15-20 bucks I think most complaints would disappear desu

4/10

>>58731348
It's alright. Costs too much for what it is, but my only gripe with the content is that the grind towards getting the 5 star zones is retarded.

>>58731348
It started being fun when I cheated in 900 of each hyper berry and didn't have to worry about the shitty time limit.

And for the people who thoroughly enjoyed it and think it’s worth 30 dollars?

>time limit.
Okay i havent gotten that far in, but i just made a 3 star donut that gavs me like 17 minutes in hyperspace. How are you people struggling with the time limit.

lmao was it really disk-locked content? fucking game freak

>>58731588
Its 'technically' disk locked because people who dont own the dlc get the content so they can trade and interact with dlc players.

But it was not actually on the disk.

>zone shows the silhouettes for Munna and Musharna
>run for 5 minutes without a seeing a single one
>get kicked out
I genuinely don't know how this is supposed to be fun.

This dlc isn't even worth $5, this dogshit should have been free

>>58731588
No, the update with it came like a day before release. The ‘it’s just a code’ thing was a code to unlock that stuff.

>>58731631
Spawns can get fucked if theres a lot (happens in higher level ones). If you safety save with a pokecenter then go back in, it’ll reroll who spawns where, but it seems like the active spawns will stay the same.

You don’t know what you’re missing out on. It’s like buying slop from McDonald’s for the same price as a bigger and better tasting burger from an independent burger spot, which is right next door, and fighting anyone who suggests you try the latter. And McDonald’s can afford to do better, but won’t because they know people will keep buying it.

You’re supporting a corporation doing the bare minimum for their customers (many of whom have been buying product for YEARS).

>>58732340
I dont think thats true. Not many games really capture the feel of pokemon.

Random but does someone know why sometimes the menu just refuses to open during battles, no matter how much I spam X?
I know that you can't open it while a move is going on, but it also happens when no move is happening at all.

>>58731571
People can have wrong opinions.

>>58731571
No one that willingly pays 30 dollars and enjoys a piece of content entirely based around shamelessly copy pasting the base game's scenario with the smallest changes imaginable can be referred to as "people".
You're subhumans.

>>58731348

>>58733644
Some battles just don't let you open the menu at all, I'm mostly noticing it happens in sidequests that involve trainer battles.

If you make a Japanese Nintendo Account (or just switch your region to Japan, but that's a lot more involved) you can get it on the Japanese eShop for ¥3,000, which is equivalent to about $20 USD. If you have trouble charging on the actual eShop due to Nintendo being dicks about your payment method, you can get it on Amazon.co.jp instead.

>>58731588
No. People who don't buy the DLC basically have to download all the DLC data, just like with SwSh and SV, because the bulk of the DLC data is the Pokemon added in the DLC, which can be traded to people who don't have the DLC (or, when Home compatibility drops, can be transferred in from Home to Z-A). None of it is actually on the cartridge if you bought it physically, nor was it included in the initial digital download that came out back in October. It's the same dumbass argument people made about on disc DLC back when that was actually a hot button issue in fighting games, where yes, you did in fact need to download the DLC even if you didn't buy it, so you can play against the people who did buy it without the game crashing because it's trying to load assets you don't have access to.

>>58731348
overall solid and adds a lot more replay value the game was sorely lacking, but definitely not worth the price. if it were $20 I could MAYBE say it's worth it, but definitely not $30

>>58734214
You can get it at $20 on Amazon JP, just like >>58734060 said.

>>58734225
the point is that they're charging too much for it
even $20 is pushing it, but there's at least enough to do with the DLC that it would feel easier to justify

>>58734225
not worth $20

It's great. Poorfags crying as usual.

>>58734263
We can afford it, it's simply not worth the asking price and can purchase better games for far less.

>>58734422
>not parroting talking points from some engagement baiting eceleb makes me a fanboy
I'm sorry for committing the horrible crime of thinking randomly generated pokemon gauntlets are better than repeating the exact same twenty battles over and over for the chance of getting a metal coat or a love ball
should have just been in the base game anyways, but I'm not gonna screech about how it's the worst thing of all time when it definitely isn't and I've played plenty worse shit

i'm not sure i understand the gameplay loop of hyperspace lumiose

every time the difficulty goes up, both the quantity and quality of berries required to generate a good timer also goes up. you find higher quality berries in higher difficulty portals, but the quantity remains the same, so eventually you just break even?

how do you get a net positive of high quality berries?

>>58734440
thats essentially what you're doing this gamemode dipshit its not
>solid
It mediocre the annoying timer the donut making its all grindy and boring it's not even the entertaining type of grindy and the fact you found that fun makes your taste in games rotten but don't get me wrong everyone is entitled to what they like i have nothing wrong with that but if its mediocre then its mediocre just like the fnaf 2 movie that people praise as a good movie when it's not

>>58731348
I thought this was really boring not a fan of it at all
Easily my least favorite pokemon dlc

>>58734446
as long as you're breaking all of the balls you find in any given portal you're generally going to come out of it with more than you put in
plus there's item boost skills that can get you extra berries

would have been a much better system if the recipes weren't so RNG-dependent

>>58734447
christ, do you know what a punctuation mark is

>>58734450
nta im the guy bellow him but i agree with "Weren't so rng dependent" it feels like i had to grind out battles just to get them just to find new donut recipes and honestly i could only stomach half an hour of that gameplay

>>58734454
Do you know the definition of what solid means cause you sure as hell used it in the most wrong way possible

>>58731413
I prefer pokemon to be voiceless. Zelda was ruined once they gave it voice acting outside of grunting and laughing.

Mega Dimensions is a reading simulator.

>>58734463
>I prefer pokemon to be voiceless. Zelda was ruined once they gave it voice acting outside of grunting and laughing.

but didn't this work for games like lego city or sims why was Zelda a bad example i thought it was done correctly

>>58731348
The rng encounters are bullshit. I will probably have to take a break before finishing the dex since it is getting incredibly boring resetting the zones to get the encounters I need. I was burned out from the 1000 battles before and am getting burned out again. That's never happened to me when playing a pokemon game. Whoever designed the gameplay loop is retarded.

>>58734461
it's solid in the sense that it's functional and what flaws are present don't actively interfere with my ability to engage in the core gameplay loop.
>the timer-
is hardly a problem when you use stronger donuts. the game actively tells you how much time you'll have going in, and if you decide you want to use a 2 minute donut on a large portal, then that's on you.
you're free to not like it, but don't be a whiny little bitch about me thinking differently

>>58734488
but that's grindy as shit and no one likes doing stuff like that and why do i have to constantly make the same recipe for a longer time, not to mention the endless battles for just those ingredients and just like i said you're definition of solid is wrong, solid would be like 8/10 which this game mode wasn't, its grindy and too tedious to a point that its boring it's not even like Minecraft levels of tedious its past dokkan levels of tedious its rating would most likely be 5/10

>>58734475
Lego works because it's fun and doesn't take itself seriously. Maybe cause it's already an english thing. Idk about sims since I never played it.
If Zelda was ruined for me because all the games from N64 to Wii had the potential for voice work but never did. If you like it that's fine. I think I would only be happy if with a fully voice acted Zelda if they made a conlang with subtitles but I know 99.9999% of people would absolutely hate that. They kinda did some of it with BotW Gerudos with things like Sav'aaq or Sav'saaba. Otherwise I'm fine with only HEY or OI type of voice work.

>>58731348
I'm glad I got this DLC instead of the Bananza stuff.

>>58734503
welcome to opinions, which you paradoxically claim to acknowledge the nuance of while consistently proving that you actually do not

My question is
This is the only DLC being released?
Is Legends ZA done?

where can I expect the physical release of the "complete edition"

>>58734561
an opinion that's correct since there's a bunch of people expressing the same opinion you fag try again in the next 2000yrs also I'm not buying it (i emulated it)

>>58734567
yes and there's a bunch of people expressing the opposite opinion too, so it proves absolutely nothing

>>58734579
>w-well a bunch of people agree with me so im objectively right!!!!'

>sperging out for speaking my mind and getting mad when i give out actual criticism for the game that other people share as well

that's how arguments work numb nuts both sides bicker and show off their points for the thing they are arguing about, big example is the game we are currently arguing about and like i said it isn't perfect, but you saying "its solid" doesn't automatically mean it is and like you said right here >>58734488
>flaws mean you don't care about the problems with the game just like the people you proclaim that have the same opinion as you are one of the reasons why this game would never get better.

hell i even said you are entitled to like what you want but don't be going trying pull other people into the game without giving them the run-down of pros and cons of the game or dlc they are about to get

I think it introduces a lot of cool new megas that will be very interesting in future turn based games, like absol Z and Garchomp Z, and hopefully that also means megas are here to stay (gen 10 leaks apparently have a mega stone bag in them), and gamefreak can just selectively choose which mega stones to have in each game. I also think it's nice that through the switch titles (sw/sh, pla, s/v, lza) almost every pokemon is obtainable not from just event besides a couple select few likely being saved for gen 10.
I also enjoyed the main story

But yea, utterly grind fest and the maps suck. February 27th needs to hurry up so we can move on from this IDEA GUY generation of half fulfilled concepts

I gave a brief opinion. I don't need to make a full in-depth list of pros and cons for said opinion to arbitrarily become valid.

>>58734638
>I said it's perfectly fine to dislike the DLC

doesn't look like to me
>so it proves absolutely nothing
i mean if other's feel the same way even if you don't agree with it you have to acknowledge that everyone is not you. i acknowledge that there are people like you who have the same opinions, but that doesn't really make it a solid game even if it is your opinion saying that it is

I can respect your mutual opinion, but that's (idk if im saying this right) consciences of the whole game it wasn't made with thought and was rush and im pretty sure the dlc could've been better if they put more time in it but it's really not a solid dlc

>I gave a brief opinion. I don't need to make a full in-depth list of pros and cons for said opinion to arbitrarily become valid

i mean its optional but it's not really recommended considering someone asked if they should get it and you said it was "solid" which can be misleading for the person you're trying to endorse for the game even if you half assed it, you might even lead the person down two paths between them regretting to buy it or they love it

it's not really necessary but it is very helpful for people

not reading past this. if THAT was your takeaway from that post, there is no point to engaging seriously with you
me saying 'it proves absolutely nothing' was to you specifically saying
>an opinion that's correct since there's a bunch of people expressing the same opinion
>an opinion that's correct
make sure to read this a few times so you understand what you actually said

>>58734688
Alright im back and i did re read what you had said and all I'm getting for this is that you think it's more of opinion than a fact and even though i gave out my opinion you're opinion for what i said was "it doesn't matter to me so i won't care" and all i can say for that, is that you don't really care for the criticism that was given to this dlc which is one of the reasons why i said it was correct since it was replaceable experience that people from either social media (and no I'm not going to look for Pokémon fans irl considering that's a waste of time) had experience the same problem

another reason is just because you didn't experience it doesn't mean it's not a problem idk why you glossed over the fact that its grindy as hell and can be a huge turn off for people who truly don't like that kind of gameplay

anyways this is my last reply i hope you have great day though it's best not to get heated over something so trivial

>>58731571
retards exist, unfortunately

>>58734463
I prefer my games to be held to the same standards as their peers instead of being treated differently because they're special needs

The DLC is not fun chore work, it feels very unfinished in a fucked up way, and they frontload any attempt at effort.

The writing is a bit schizophrenic as well, as if they took into reddits opinion on Urbain and Taunie before setting up scenes.

To put it in perspective, there's like three total wormhole dimensions. You're asked to enter roughly 100 times to complete the main scenario.

Like most recent DLC for pokemon games, it exists only to give you the opportunity to shiny and alpha hunt pokemon you'll want moving forwards. Likely in champions.

The three musketeers and the lati twins are available to shiny hunt, another secret reason to buy.

If you're just buying to "enjoy" wait and pirate.

Speaking of which, does anyone have the DLC unlock XCI? The one on NXBrew is outdated.

>>58734463
>I prefer pokemon to be voiceless
I woud say this, but Pokemon of all franchises not having it just comes off as lazy and fucking cheap

The DLC is reminding me about how pissed off i was that they didn't give us a real means of travel outside of specific fast travel spots. Every time i have to run across the city, i just wish someone would throw a pair of roller-skates at my character to wear.

garbage of the worst kind, like all modern pokemon games

I'm right before Rayquaza and not really impressed. Not getting exp in hyperspace makes the progression feel weird, as all the new Pokemon they added aren't worth using unless you have a stack of exp candies. Donuts are stupid and tedious, I don't like that the whole food bullshit in recent games is leaking into actual gameplay content.

The biggest positive is the rogue mega battles, this is the one area where the time limit mechanic is actually an improvement since it adds challenge. There's also a shit ton of new sidequests that I've barely touched, so at least base Lumiose gets some new content.

>>58737620
What a fucking horse shit game and garbage combat system

It's not bad, it would have been better if you could co-op the 200lv megas and it gave you more points out of it. Missed opportunity.
Also I don't get why you can't 1vs1 in this game still. Both these features would extend the game lenght a lot, while now it's doomed to die soon (less quickly than Arceus).
It kinda sucks that this DLC was not in the base game. I got 60 hours overall and I would say I'm satisfied but I spent 100€...

>>58739173
>Not getting exp in hyperspace makes the progression feel weird, as all the new Pokemon they added aren't worth using unless you have a stack of exp candies
This was my experience with the DLC, and what made me really dislike it. They add a bunch of new Pokemon to use, but they're all extremely underleveled and there is no elegant way to train them. Not to mention how half of the megas are locked behind RNG encounters. I still haven't seen a Golett and I'm almost done.

I dislike how literally everything is grinding and RNG-based. You can't even reroll special scan 5 star hyperspace.
Also autosave is really annonying, you're forced to use backup save if you don't like donut powers or hyperspace spawning locations

>>58740879
>You can't even reroll special scan 5 star hyperspace.
You actually can. When you get the 25k points, put down a save, and if you don't like what you get, reload and go do all the missions in a different hyperspace zone, then roll the Special Scan again.

>>58741126
Fuck this game

>>58741139
It's because of exchange rates.

It's "cheaper" in Japan because the Yen is weak right now, and they're still pricing things in the Japanese market as if 1Yen was 1Cent, which is about what it was for the last ~20 years. To a Japanese person living in Japan, it's priced the same way that it always has been, both previous Pokemon DLCs were the same price despite the Yen being worth more when those came out.

This is also why the Japan only Switch 2 console is a thing, so they can sell the console at a price that's appropriate for the region.

>brings up digimon out of nowhere
Obsessed. What does this image even have to do with digimon? Did they also call a black void a basement?

>>58741126
How is this shit actually legal

>>58741126
We don't hate Game Freak enough

>>58741179
You bought it, sv, bdsm, plass and swsh anyway. you have nobody to blame but yourself for willingly getting scammed

>>58741126
The two fans of volcanion must be so mad about this

>biggest positives
Story is fine, especially for a pokemon game. Nothing really to add honestly. It's just ok.
New side quests are nice, and some of them even unlock new stuff. There's a guy who lets you take photos of your mons sleeping if you do his sleep based side quest. There's a lot of cute stuff like helping a mime jr. during his mail job.
Most of the new mons are good picks. Most of the megas are either good or justifiable outside of the z's.
All of the new moves are great. Just having a better physical steel move makes the pvp meta change.
>Biggest negatives
The grind is completely retarded, pre and post game. The groudon and kyogre fights being back to back was great and then everyone is hyping up the ray fight only to be met with a 100k research made me want to drop it.
Donuts being locked in to the auto save and making people abuse their backup saves is just asking for people to fuck up their saves. This mechanic alone gives enough ammo to never make autosaves forced ever again.
The 5* portals needing a 25k research isn't so bad until you realize you can't pick what you are getting and could end up with a humiliation ritual battle zone. Locking specific legends and popular mons behind this is retarded. You can't even fix this with backup saves either. Most people won't even have a bax by the time the stone comes out because it's fucking locked behind seven levels of rng.

>>58741126
Game Freak are the worse devs on the planet

8 in a fucking row before I got a single one with actual Pokemon in it.

the whole quest is a meta joke about how Volcanion is forgotten, but it's honestly not even funny.

>>58741110
Thanks anon, I will try it out later. Hope it actually works

the dlc confirmed anime lore of magreana and hoopa.
hoopa liking doughnuts was a anime thing untill za game.
magearna being made 500 years ago was a anime movie thing before za introduced it to game lore.

point: game lore and anime lore tends to correlate with each other.

>>58741190
>You bought it, sv, bdsm, plass and swsh
I haven't bought a pokemon game since xy because it was so garbage that I knew it was over. I eventually played them years later on emulator and they weren't even good for being free.

>>58741126
>Map doesn't load
Cool game.

>>58741407
They probably make a bunch of lore that the games and the anime draw from. Sometimes it get implemented in both but not all the time. Latias being able to transform as a move or a Zoroark type ability would be cool.

>>58742124
No, that is the map. It's a solid black void on purpose.

>>58742145
Oh I'm guessing that's the pokemon that's constantly asking for help and also saying stay away?

>>58742148
No, that's Darkrai. Volcanion is inside of a hacked Pokeball.

>>58742152
Thanks for putting a spoiler tag on it. I should just finish the game and find out myself.

The grind soured me on it very quickly. I have 4 Pokemon left to get and they're all behind special scans, I'm so fucking tired of grinding points for ANOTHER FUCKING STARTER ZONE FULL OF SHITTY POKEMON I CAN GET IN LOWER STAR ZONES

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST. Yes, I'm mad.
Like every thing else this shitty fucking company does, it's a half-baked great idea executed like a retarded child would have done.
Literally ALL they had to do was let you choose what you want to scan for.

I shouldn't have to be happy I can use backup saves to reroll my donuts because GameFreak thinks meaningless grinding is the absolute height of entertainment

>>58742145
It's supposed to be a dark basement, but good lord they could have atleast tried

>>58734422
If you don't like Pokemon, feel free to fuck off back to Discord where trannies like you belong anyway.

>>58741110
Nope, it doesn't work. My 5 star hyperspace is still same even after I did all tasks in other hyperspace
Fuck GF

>>58731413
>funny that Expedition 33 won the game awards and instead of rewarding itself, it released a free DLC that is 12 hours of content.
because they are faggots who wants be popular, pokemon can do whatever they want just like anything else from nintendo, literally every new series will drop free content to gain attention and popularity

>>58742820
Pokemon fucking sucks....

>>58737304
Zarude had a two distributions in Go, one in 2021 and more recently in 2024.

>>58731348
The only content being the pockets kinda stinks if you aren’t a fan of them to begin with. Was hoping for more clothing options from the stores, or new options for mega clothing (glasses, necklace, anything besides the bracelet). I’ve been wanting room customization back for years…

>>58731348
Most of it is good except the core gameplay loop which sucks ass and brings the whole experience down.

What they did to Volcanion is unacceptable...Depressing...
It's crazy considering the other DLC added entire maps for new events

>>58740879
I haven’t had the time to test yet but loading from a backup save(up+b+x) at a pokecenter before you finish the final task should work right? At least I presume the game rolls your Hyperspace Distortion when Phillipe calls you.

>>58734008
My standards are just low. Digimon released DLC that is also priced at 30 and offers way way less content than Mega Dimension.
Not saying Pokemon is a beacon of goodness here, but they’re far from the lowest standard when it comes to content/pricing ratio for DLC in the industry.

>>58744251
At least that will get discounted.

Is it actually possible to catch Hoopa in other pokeballs or did Serebii just blatantly copy and paste without remembering that you get Hoopa as a gift with the regular red pokeball?

>>58744499
Copypasta

Is there a renewable method to getting Auspicious/Malicious Armor or do you have to trade for one?

>>58744958

it's also incredibly lazy, Game Freak continues to reach new lows

>>58741139
They just hate us. Reminder that they absolutely REFUSED to port over that life-size Serperior or Ekans plush they made for the year of the snake, sold ONLY in Asia, and only IN/TO Asia

>>58744958
Use donut with special item power. Also you need to do it on 5 stars hyperspace, it won't drop in lower stars.

Is the final dlc fight even worth it?

>>58731348

Legends games were a mistake.

Arceus was fine, the gameplay changes in za just downgraded damn near everything.

>gwynn's hat not added as clothing

Shut up shut up. Just. Shut. The. Fuck. Up.
The DLC was perfect in every regard, a genuine 10/10 part of the game, making ZA a surefire GOTY contender if not outright winner here. It is perfect. It is perfect. It is perfect.
And I won't be hearing one word of shilling from any of you poorfag eric snoy cultists.

Kalos Failed......again

>>58745878
Don't forget that they locked a bunch of the new mega stones behind COMPETITIVE multiplayer
And that they had to dramatically reduce the requirements after the greninja stone one because compsweats kept being insanely toxic and locking little timmies out of ever seeing it

>>58745903
This never happened btw.

That not real. it doesnt exit. it didnt happen. that is ai generated. its photoshoped. thats fake. you lie. liar. liar. liar.

>>58745615
Do you mean Mega Rayquaza? You should get enough points from just filling up your Dex naturally for it. The real grind starts afterwards with the special scans.

Why are they still putting Shiny Lock on old Pokemon like Ray? C'mon...

>>58746033
Stop being so ungrateful. Would you rather the pokemon not be in the game at all? Huh?!?!

>>58745878
GreniggaBros......

>>58746033
I've gotten a shiny Rayquaza in both SwSh and SV, and the SV one was practically handed to me

>>58731348
Pretty fun overall, the doubles battles were cool.
>Story was basic but neat, Ansha is cute and Korrina showing up was cool but they shilled Corbeau way too hard.
>Didn't feel like the grind was too much until the Rayquaza part (100k points) and the 999 shards for magearna + 4x540 shards for genesect
>Liked most of the new megas and that they even gave them to mythical pokemons like Magearna and Zeraora
>locking new mega evolutions behind multiplayer/mystery gift is super cancer (Baxcalibur and Garchomp Z)
Overall it felt like they just wanted to give away a lot of mythical pokemons with the DLC which is cool I guess
