The son of a gun actually did it
>>59000560Pokopia is finally bringing back the soul this franchise lost years ago
>>59000560Holy Fucking Based
>>59000560A new K-K-Ka-K-Kanto game??? OH MY FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD KANTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'LL TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK
>>59000560>>59000568>>59000586>>59000597Imagine the smell
>>59000560So he traded his machoke at some point?
>>59000615That's the most annoying thing about this franchise is its always lore second to the shoehorned gameplay mechanics nobody likes
>>59000615Nah, he traveled back in time, found a Linking Cord in Ancient Kanto, traveled back, and used it on his Machoke
>>59000615Given the line about it being something his family wanted for generations it may have been his son that finished it, so it evolved when Machoke was passed down.
>>59000733Damn, that's deep
Random Team Rocket Grunt
>>59000615Traded from father to son
So what's the deal with this game? Is it set in Kanto? I thought it was an alternate universe in a procedurally generated world.
>>59001722It's Kanto after humanity fucked off from Kanto after it became unsutiable to sustain life (IIRC, it's supposedly set in the far far future from when we see Kanto in Gen 1/3).
>>59001722>Is it set in Kanto?Yeah, it's in Kanto, something happened to cause humans to leave the region, and Pokemon are trying to rebuild it, while hoping humans will return
>>59001798So they're not dead and just fucked off?
>>59001842It's debatable, but the way it's talked about, it seems humans simply left the region for some reason
>>59001842That's what I gather.Also, it's fucking Pokémon and done with heavy Game Freak input, did you honestly expect the humans to die out, rather than all up and leave?
>>59000801Where’s part 2?
>>59001935>did you honestly expect the humans to die out, rather than all up and leave?Eh, PMD does hint at that to be fair but then again they fucking hate it for some reason
>>59000560How'd you get this?
>this game will have more lore/story than any pokemon game
>>59001996I screenshot this from a review, and they didn't show the second part
>>59002001PMD doesn't imply that. Everyone knows what a human is and isn't shocked by the existence of one in contemporary times.If anything, it implies some weird alternate universe where humans and pokemon never lived together in the first place.
>>59001935The last mainline entry had a guy's parents die after neglecting him for most of his life, so yeah.
This may or may not be the remains of the SS Anne
>>59002070One, for the sake of the plot. Not "every human in the region got killed by a rampaging puppy/cat bike".
>>59002071Wait. I haven't been paying attention to this game. Is it just Minecraft? That looks like fucking Minecraft.
>>59002214Only really the breakable things in the world are block shaped
>>59002214Dragon Quest Builders. There's a demo of the first chapter of DQB2 on the eShop if you want to get an idea of how Pokopia will play since it's the same team.
>>59001864>it seems humans simply left the region for some reasonbecause TPC would keep shilling the fuck out of kanto, people got fed up
>>59002071I'm getting "shitty mobile game Minecraft knockoff" vibes.
from the way the pokemon speak it's like humanity is a fairy tale to them with the ditto you're paying as emulating them just becauseKinda reminds me of those ultra worm holes where shit went bad like Guzzlord's hole where it was munching on garbage from a long destroyed Alola region where some kinda power plant experiment fucked the entire region over I guess the most accurate way to put it is that pokepiea is another elseworld removed from the mainline games where pokemon and humanity still florish together
>>59002065The Pokémon Center ruins and lab tho
>>59002423Which was that in? I don't remember it from Red Rescue Team or Explorers of Sky.
>>59001826I'm going to assume it takes place around the time humanity fuck off from earth after fucking it up. So basically, the same future as ultra ruins or something like that..
>>59002431Red/Blue Rescue Teamhttps://www.bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Decrepit_Lab>An abandoned lab built by humans long ago. Left to fall into disrepair, it is now home to Pokémon.
>>59002065>>59002423>Rescue Team implies humans used to exist between myths about Ninetales/Gardevoir/the human that apparently became Gengar and all the ruins>Explorers implies humans will exist in the far future with Groovyle's partner becoming the player character>Super implies the games all take place roughly in order given it implies the Medicham from Team Meanies left to join Team Charm, as well as showing a pretty sizable map with several continents on itDid humanity get lost in a Mystery Dungeon? Did they all move to the Dark Continent and all the PMD games just take place in a lake in said Dark Continent?We just don't know.
>>59002224It's an accurate asthetic for pokemonThe early games are tiles and blocksThis is a 3d render of course but it's what Kanto would actually look like
>>59002379>the ditto you're paying as emulating them just becausePretty much confirmed the human you're taking the form of was the Ditto's former Trainer (Likely a girl in universe, since all the marketing uses the female design of the human form Ditto)
>>59001842>>59002627>Pixar theory-style pokémon timeline where Pokópia fits between mainline games and humanity dissapearing leading to the PMD timeline
>>59000560>average reading time 4.5 hoursimmersion broken
>>59003393>... ... ...That's actually dark, but can't justify getting a Switch 2 just for Pokekino.
>>59000650In-lore there's multiple ways to evolve.The gen 1 zukan implies trade evos happen without trading already.
>>59004605It also explains why sometimes we see Pokemon of a lower level being evolved when they shouldn't be yet in the earlier titles
>>59002627Medicham from Team Perfide is the same one as Team Charm?
>>59000560Such a disappointment in Gen II to not see anything built there. Even greater disappointment in Gen IV to STILL have nothing built there despite the massive expansions to Kanto. I feel like they could've directly ported over contests from DPPt and put the contest hall there.
When will we be able to see part 2 of that rocket grunt journal? I really want to see what it says…
>>59004680When the game comes out
>>59003786>leading to the PMD timelineit ALL makes sense now....
>>59000560Who is this guy? The constructor guy from Vermilion City?
>>59004705Yes, the one that walks around near the center with a Machoke.
>>59004761dude managed to pull off a construction project with just himself and a Machop? freaking legend indeed
You must continue his legacy, locate the ruins of his building and restore it to its former splendor
>>59004675they couldn't even be assed to fix the level scaling
RIP Fuchsia City
>>59006049I see, I guess that makes sense as a starting area with the safari zone right there
Might be cool if one of the characters you meet is revealed to be a human who used Bill's machine to turn into a pokemon.
>>59006896Some people think that's the twist of the game.
