With WiWa delayed, would it turn out good since GF is finally taking their time with it?
>>59228601Gamefreak could spend 10 years on development and it'll still be a mess, so no.The game is likely already done and they're already onto other porjects
>>59228601we already saw with ZA getting one more year how it turned out to be, you have to change developers
>>59228601To do what exactly? Add MORE fucking water?
The budget for development likely wasn't increased all that much, they're allergic to spending money and complained when SV DLC came in over budget.At best it will get a year of testing and bug fixes, but I don't think it's getting lots of extra content.
>>59228601>wiwaKill yourself, the game is finished, its was delayed because of switch 2 delay.
>>59228601No.
>>59228609Fippy
>>59228601Probably won't make much of a difference, if any. This board doesn't want the games to be good anyway, so no real loss there.
>>59228601>open world againProbably not. I’m gonna temper my expectations. If you have flight, swimming and climbing right from the beginning it is guaranteed garbage.
>>59228601They aren’t doing any more work on it just because it got delayed. Game is done
gamefreak is too autistic about traditions to ever fix the series' most fundamental problems so no
>>59228661It's not that we don't want it to be good, it's that we know it won't be good. Slight difference.
>>59228674What are the series fundamental problems
>>59228675Not the posters, the board itself. The thread turnover wouldn't be half as high around release if the games were good, this place and most Pokémon fan spaces thrive on a near-constant supply of negativity.
>>59228695>this place and most Pokémon fan spaces thrive on a near-constant supply of negativity.Welcome to the internet. *It's been like that since phoneposters joined en masse and corporate interests saw a point in pissing off the rank and file over everything.
>>59228601Will entirely depend on how deeply Nintendo breathes down GF's neck. GF as a development studio has dogshit technical skills, are completely content to release turds and keep coasting on their floor of guaranteed sales, and genuinely seem sick of developing Pokemon games. Nintendo had to step in multiple times during late SwSh development just to get it out the door and SV were glitchy, janky, hideous games even compared to shovelware on the same console.The devs seem intent on pushing the mainline games in the "immersive RPG with a focus on open world nature exploration" direction but they have struggled on technical development even with old school slow-paced topdown hallway RPG gameplay.
>>59228601>GF is finally taking their time with itNobody tell him...
>>59228799Kek
>>59228799This is the other reason I'm inclined to say there's not extra content being made for WiWa.ZA was "done" for a very long time before it actually released.
>>59228601There will never be another decent pokemon game again, never mind good.
>>59228816According to twitter people, they might have delayed WiWa to make space for a second Pokopia DLC. Regardless though, if anything this delay should be a good thing in the sense that they've got no excuse anymore to make their future games rushed.
It's taking this long because they have to translate everything to Portuguese with Google translator. Did you knew that Caterpie is an 'Earthworm' and Blastoise an 'oyster' and you use your 'Big Balls' to capture it if you play in Portuguese?There's a hell lot of other pileshit of crap translations like that, and now with everything translate, there will be even more. So they're taking their time to do it the dumbest way possible, and add as many memes as possible like.
>>59228837They have a schedule. Taking longer to release a new gen doesn't mean they will take more time to do the next one.It just means that they will all DLC ready for day one, and will make gen XI before anyone ever play gen X
I swear to god if they don't add back in the set mode I'm going to lose my fucking mind.
>>59228816>ZA was "done" for a very long time before it actually released.I already felt it when NPC constantly doing brofist in ZA like if it was a new trend. Must've been the thing during COVID.
>>59228954All the gens of switch 2 are probably done or in the making already, just like they did in GBA, 3DS, and Switch.Games will be pretty much same shit but different storylines. The only same console gen with innovations was 5, but still pretty much same engine, just graphically different. And the only one not developed at the same time with the previous one was 2.FRLG was mostly done when RS was released
>>59228601If they dexcut Heatmor, I'm gonna riot and burn down my local game store.
>>59228609ThisEven with the best of circumstances Gamefreak is neither competent nor passionate about Pokemon anymore. Just play romhacks bro.
>poop still pushing his failed acronym
>>59229071Be ready. There's no anteaters on Malaysia/ new Zealand
>>59228601>WiWa
>>59228601They aren't "taking their time with it", they're being held back by Nintendo, who has full publishing rights that dictate when and how Pokemon can be released.Game's already finished based on the fact its very first trailer had actual gameplay. They aren't touching the game to improve it in the meantime because they've already moved onto making DLC, Legends: Galar, Gen 11 and MAYBE Project Seed if that's still in the works.How do I know? Legends: Z-A didn't get to "use that extra year" for anything. The build from 2024 that leaked was nigh-identical to the build we got in 2025 on release day, because they had to shift gears to finishing up development on Mega Dimension, WW, and their involvement in Pokopia.
>>59228601I'm just gonna be pessimistic and assume that the game is practically done aside from bug testing & optomization like Z-A plus voice acting. Not that those are bad or anything but if most of the main story scenes are still super shoddy after being in development for so long I'm actually gonna lose it. This stopped being acceptable after the 3DS.https://youtu.be/CgriB7fS2lc?t=6
>>59229467I wish a Rogue Mega Absol would rough me up.
>>59228816>ZA was "done" for a very long time before it actually released.and it was the Switch 1 Pokemon game with the best performance.
What would Twitter’s reaction be if WiWa gets released and it suffers from the same problems as SV?
If you say WiWa you have to say>ScVi>SwSh>SuMo
>>59229824I say all those thangs
>>59229569And it was the last game they made for the switch 1 so that’s not saying much considering they had allat experience by that point
>>59229824yes, and? all of those are correct
>>59228601It's likely already, or almost done.
>>59228677Nta, but:>Game is too fucking easy.>Not telling you if Pokemon are worth raising.>Massive power creep.>Annoying catching mechanics.
>>59229824Everyone says SWSH thoughbeit
>>59230106They're probably straight
>>59229824Swsh yes. The other two no
>>59228601>>59228816>>59229748>WiWakill yourself
>>59228601I just hope that they don't change the turn-based combat, now that competitive has moved to champions
>>59229824No one says SS for gen 8, you say SwSh, because it's 2 of the same letter. The other ones are just SM or SV.
>>59228601I will not buy the gameI will not buy the Switch 2I will not pirate the gameI will spend 10000 hours gooning to the nu Pokémon on e621
>>59230027>>Game is too fucking easy.You're playing a game meant for kids. >>Not telling you if Pokemon are worth raising.There are no bad pokemon, just bad trainers>>Massive power creep.No there isn't.>>Annoying catching mechanics.Would you rather have a QTE instead? Now that's out of the way, what are the real fundamental problems?
>>59228799>>59228816I think the difference is that ZA was just GF fucking around without a clear vision, there's a reason why in its first reveal they only showed a CG trailer, the game changed so much from 2024 to 2025 that it'd have been clear false advertisement.>much nicer graphics with actual 3D buildings>many more interiors >pokemon rides and other methods of traversal>bigger, more varied and "wild" Wild Zones instead of the small patches of grass we got in the final gameBut of course if you can't get your shit togheter the only solution is to cut all that shit out and quickly replace it with a safer approach, that's why ZA was such a boring repetitive game even by Pokemon standards.In Winds&Waves case instead, they just straight up revealed how the game looks, the starters etc., the usual stuff, which all points to the usual "it's coming this year" EXPECIALLY since it's the 30th anniversary, and that's why it took people by surprised that it's actually coming in 2027Of course this doesn't prove the game won't be trash, it's GF afterall... but I mean they could've pulled off another SM and no one would've have cared, it would still sell gorillions of copies, so... maybe this time, they actually care?
>>59232367>but I mean they could've pulled off another SMhuh?
>>59232165>what are the real fundamental problems?Lack of passion from the developers and/or developers not getting enough time/resources. That's it.
>>59232588SM was pushed out early so they could cash in on the 20th anniversary
>>59232592meant for >>59232517
>>59228638Nintendo games always have modest budgets. You've been brainrotted by Sony into thinking inflating the budget will do anything.
>>59228675You know that's not true. Fags only want to bitch.
>>59230027>>Not telling you if Pokemon are worth raising.What a retarded idea. You seriously want Rotom to come up and say "box that Pidgey".>>Massive power creep.Lmao you're actually proposing Dexit.
>>59232627Inflating the budget DOES do things anon. It distracts the easily-pleased from the fact the "games"are all low-effort. The despressing thing is it actually works (cf the retards shilling beast of reincarnation, because it's for memeboxes).
>>59229443Anon New Zealand is nowhere near South East Asia...
>>59232165>You're playing a game meant for kids.And? Rayman 2 is also a game for kids but it at least feels like it has sone challenge. Why is every trainer in the world still a complete jobber with two Pokemon? Add a fucking hard mode for people who aren't brainless zoomers.>There are no bad pokemonOkay? Would still prefer the game tell me: What moves does this thing learn? When does it evolve? And what are it's actual base stats(Granted I think they tell that nowadays)?>No there isn't.Lol? Go play early gen 1 and then gen 9.>Would you rather have a QTE instead?I would rather just fucking knock the thing out and then capture it.>>59232638See above. Why the fuck should I look up Serebi to get basic info? Who enjoys that shit?>Lmao you're actually proposing Dexit.Either that or rebalancing over a thousand Pokemon.
>>59228601Watch it be a total bugridden 90 dollar slopfest.Watch is break sales records anyways.There is no escape.
>>59232367>buildings are not flat>ridable gogoat>all not in the final releasePokemon continues to disappoint.
>>59232592Source?
>>59231687Uh oh, someones having a little WEEWAH
>>59228601>"""delayed"""They never changed the public date.
