idea for this game sounds so bad I hope they scrapped this shit
>>59491518What idea? Exploring the origin of the pokeball? Idk it's weird to do that story in galar of all places, but what's the problem?Like the origin of pokeballs doesn't need to be johto, but surely people understand when I say revealing pokeballs originated in galar seems werid, right?
>>59491566Darkest Day
>>59491566gameplay
>>59491589What about it? Legends galar has nothing to do with the darkest day and takes place 1,000 years after it happened.Same as legends z-a not being about the war in kalos 3,000 years ago.
>>59491595The pikmin stuff? I think g-max only really works as a big boss battle mechanic, to the point where they tried replicating it with tera battles and while I never played gen 8, the tera raids seem incredibly lame compared to fighting a mountain.Also really funny to see people say pokemon needs to be real time and then they make it "in gamefrek's own words in the leaks" "pikmin style". Oh is someone upset real time doesn't mean making it devil may cry combat :'(
>>59491518Sounds a thousand times more intresting than Legends ZA and no they're not scrapping it, cope
They should outsource it to Pocket Pair
I wish the games would take a break from inventing new mechanics every time and focus on the story.Like all the crazy shit England used to get up toThe crusades, but with pokemon All that mummy and pyramid shit, but with pokemonColonizing Unova, but with pokemonI don't need an electabuzz with a moustache, I need an electabuzz in a pith helmet ripping cofagrigus from their tombs. Also this particular one has a moustache because it's England of course it fucking doesAlso ships. Go out to sea on an actual navy vessel, see what's out there past where your bitchass lapras chickens out
>>59492779I'd rather have them focus on making the games more replayableEvery iteration makes them less so by a large margin with a ton of content backloaded after the E4, which is good, but also you never get to use the things you get in the "main" game
>>59492779They've already established in-lore that shit can't actually work as Pokémon games, due to creation of the pokéball being set at the beginning of the 20th Century. But you're an ignorant cunt who ignores the actual story to squeal you want games that focus on the story.The pokémon world is INSPIRED by the real world. But it's not supposed to BE a carbon copy of the real world (which is why they didn't include Ireland in their game featuring Great Britain, despite Northern Ireland being part of the UK political umbrella).
>>59491518Gamefreaj should make it a RTS
>>59492828The Isle of Armor is the Ireland stand in
>>59492837That's funny. Because the official channels claim it's based off the Isle of Mann, a UK crown dependency.Japan is an educated country. They also had an Englishman working for them on the very project we're talking about, which is why they added NO physical part of Ireland to their game based off Britain. Relax lad, TPCi establishing an Irish foothold ensures Ireland will get a game based on it in the future, so we don't need to claim representation in games that hold no such identity.
>>59491518If Zacian and Zamazenta have a namesake with cyan, magenta, then is there a Zayellow, Zayero or something like that out there that somehow is a thing of the past?
>>59493155RegilekiIs eternatus black??
>>59493158No namesake there, buddy.
>>59491518do poketards even want to play pikmin style pokemon with 30 different mons on the screen at a time tanking the frame rates?this game sounds even worse than pla, and that was a literal beta test sold as a full priced game
>>59491518Sounds more interesting than ZA, glad we're going back to the Past, ZA was complete shit
I'm tired of the focus on the most dogshit games and places in the series. "A whole game set entirely in Lumiose" was the biggest fucking cancer idea and of course they'd follow it with garbage like Galar. Who are these games even for?
once pokemmo releases, no one is going to play the other lamefreak games besides hardcore lamefreak bootlickers
>>59493250Atleast we'll be able to visit the entire region unlike ZA's ONE CITY
>>59493462half the region is just the large open space of the wild area, which will be even bigger without some of the cities being fully founded
>>59491518Only because of Dynamax.Z-A gave us ONLY new Megas. No new regional forms and cross-gen evolutions like in PLA.Now at least Mega Evolution is a cool mechanic. But Dynamax? That crap SUCKS.And the last thing I want is a game where all the new designs are exclusively GMax forms.Would infinitely prefer that work effort on new designs go to regional forms and cross-gen evos.Galar as a region is actually okay. And there is potential with the whole Darkest Day thing.I will admit that Dynamax would lend itself decently well to raids with ALL of your Pokemon.Kind of like the raids in Palworld. But anything good would come with ONLY new GMax forms, and I cannot support that.
Can't Wait
>>59493462What's makes you say that? The 1 single town that was in legends arceus?
>>59493638Its going to have new GMax forms and Regional forms, we already know about a new Slowking Regional that's a chef
>>59493659GMax Tinkaton Incoming!
>>59493663For every new GMax form, there could have been a regional form or cross-gen evolution instead.PLA gave us 29 new designs (Only 26 individual Pokemon) and Z-A followed suit with 26 new Megas.Assuming the same number, they would at least make a new GMax form for every type. So 18 new GMax forms would be a safe bet, leaving just 8 new designs for everything else.That sucks balls, man. GMax is commonly considered the least-popular game mechanic.Don't waste work effort on making new designs on those. If you doubled-up each type perfectly for only 9 new GMax forms and had 17 new designs for everything else, that would be better.
>>59493663I like GMax forms more than Megas so I'll take it
>>59493729>Commonly considered the least-popular game mechanicAccording to who? Smogonfags?
>>59493660the entirety of the map in za is lumiose city
>>59493659>>59491518They won't do it. Alola was supposed to have a cruise ship battle facility, XY was supposed to be about aliens...They don't follow through with all their plans and this one is one of the most outlandish yet. The Pokéball is iconic, they wouldn't deviate so much.
>>59493729Gmax is my favorite
>>59492849Why does it need Ireland when Galar covers all of the British Isles' climates? Ireland wasn't excluded so much as not highlighted. I'm not even part of this argument but you're being pedantic.
>>59491518I’d love a Pokémon Legends game set in Galar during the Middle Ages, featuring new Gigantamax forms treated more like unique monsters; people back then wouldn't have known these forms were caused by Eternatus's energy, so they likely would have viewed them as a curse or a demon escaped from the underworld.For instance, it could explain the myth of Gogmagog or the tale of Jack the Giant-Killer, or feature a Gigantamax Charizard that steals gold for its nest.As an added bonus, it would be great to finally include Ireland, even if only as post-game content.
>>59493884Those things are not comparable.>XY was supposed to be about aliensNo it wasn't. Even in 2014 that was pure conjecture from some random sourceless anon making shit up. Now we know for certain that it wasn't from the leaks.
>>59493918>As an added bonus, it would be great to finally include Ireland, even if only as post-game content.What an absolute waste it would be to throw away a perfectly good region candidate. It would like if Italy was XY's postgame area.
>>59493884>The Pokéball is iconic, they wouldn't deviate so much.Two "Legends" games suggests that GameFreak is willing to treat this more as a spin-off where the devs have more freedom and don't have to adhere strictly to what will benefit TPC as a whole. Of course, we only have two titles and the new megas HAVE been introduced in Champions, so it's not a total throw away. But it's not outlandish to suggest if a Legends titles decides to downplay iconic imagery of the franchise, they'd be allowed to do so. The exchange is that the mainline title has to go totally fucking ham with shit like Pikachu, Charizard, Pokeballs, Pokemon Center, your rival, gym leaders, etc.
>>59493659oooooh this looks interesting
>>59491518>Pikmin-Style Mechanicsit's dead on arrival
>>59493898Yes, it wasn't included because IT'S NOT FUCKING BRITAIN, you retarded little shit. Just like Kalos didn't have any of Spain or Paldea in it or why Unova didn't include Canada or Miami.And Game Freak have based regions in countries where TPCi has a presence. Meaning TPCi Ireland ensures it'll get a region based on it in due time. As if Game Freak adding characters of Irish ethnicity hasn't already hinted at THAT eventuality.
>>59493659Now I'm mad that ZA wasn't set in the past
>>59493884>The Pokéball is iconicOh yeah, so iconic, there's half a dozen creation scenarios for it, WILDLY inconsistent presentations of historical pokéball tech and a BIG fucking hard limit on how and when they can set historical Legends games, as Legends; Arceus set a hard creation dtae for pokéballs in the early 1900's.So yeah anon, if they intend to follow through with setting a pokémon game outside the 1900's and the existence of pokéballs, they will in fact replace them with some era-appropriate replacement, to work around the fact they're not supposed to be created until some time before the events of Legends: Arceus in the overall timeline of the world.
>>59493951They never once call it a spin off, do not in fact treat it as a spin off and even describe it as a main story, albeit separate from the games aimed at the 7 year olds (as they DO tend to change the formula, meaning it's not the greatest for 5 year olds to pick up and start getting into the series).
>>59494069different regions can create pokeballs independently whenever they want and it will be fine because international travel is more rare than a full odds shiny at that point in timeonce people are able to travel easier with actual tech instead of just pokemon and small wooden boats, the pokeballs can be equaled out in terms of design across the world
>>59493951As if the official Jap website AND the recent 30th Anniversary merch shilling hadn't already stated that fact for the world.
>>59493918Monkey paw: you get Pokemon: Galar and it's the middle ages and the crusade fighting against the dark but the gameplay is making a team of 3 pokemon trainers and their (singular) pokemon and the combat becomes like that of the Tales of games as you fight against/to stop gigantamaxed monsters
>>59494083Nah, because we ALSO saw the Galaxy Expedition introduce the concept of pokéballs to Hisuians, of carrying pokémon in a capsule to afford travelling greater distances and ultimately not be harmful or cruel to pokémon as the Hisuians claimed due to not theorising the concept of catching a shrunken pokémon in a capsule prior to meeting the western man.There's also the fact Laventon's Galarian, travelled to both Alola and Unova, to acquire pokémon from those regions, indicating the west got the idea first (like how in the OG lore, Pokémon were discovered and studied by a European named Baron Tajirin, as a reference to the father of palaeontology Baron Cuvier). But this is, unironically, why they're hashing out Legends: Galar as being set when it is with the themes it's displaying. Because the Legends series affords them more scope to expand on lore introduced in the other set of games, where they're too busy focused on getting kids to collect the plot tokens to fight the champion and beat the game).
>>59493884What if Gamefreak,,just this once, actually puts thd effort, time and budget into the project?
>>59494122They do put "time and effort" into their cycles and since Switch 2 affords proper vidya presentaion (and WW's improvements over SV highlight) they're putting more budget in too.The issue is even with all that, they don't care for you spastic cunts, never have, thus never will do what you want them to do for you with their series.They're number one doing what they do, why try harder?
>>59491518i unironically agree they should just stick with real time battles instead
>>59494137turn based gameplay is as iconic as the pokeball as is pikachu
>>59494137Do you know why people never really talked much about ZA besides the megas? Because the gameplay was garbage
>>59494083>different regions can create pokeballs independently whenever they want and it will be fine because international travel is more rare than a full odds shiny at that point in timeThis is retarded. Yeah on an individual level it was rare that any random person would ever leave the region they were born in much less their country or continent but that doesn't mean international travel was rare, there were people who made their entire careers off of travel and trade and any sort of new technology would spread fairly quickly, especially something like Pokeballs that are obviously useful and incredibly easy to transport.
>>59494156You say that like the gameplay of all the turnbased games haven't sucked since XY onwards.
>>59494137After ZA, fuck no, Game Freak are so fucking incompetent, I rather this series go to another developer at this point, they cant do turn based or real tike battles right at all.
>>59491518>galarshitthey're gonna double down on it
>>59494498*time
>>59494501Yep Japs love Galar
>>59493660Makes sense lore-wise
>>59491518>Galar>Unova>etcAlso Galar sucked as a region and story. I couldn't even force myself to play the DLC or postgameI'd rather a Johto Legends that explores more of the ruins of alph, the dogs, and ho-oh/lugia. Maybe some tie in due to sinjoh ruins. If they keep it confined to "one" city, maybe just have Goldenrod as central hub like Arceus. Just go to the past.>>59492820Games since the end of the DS/jump to 3DS seem less replayable as time goes on. I haven't replayed S/M because beginning is awful. Haven't replayed the switch games. I replayed USUM once.Might replay S/V, but giant open world is sort of annoying. I wish they could go back to routes rather than open world and maybe have an area dedicated to open world (like wild area), but not make in the sole focus.>>59492779>I want edgyreborn just got a remake, go play that.
>>59491518Based Galar
just make Legends Johto. Nobody gives a shit about Galar lore
>>59494506Japan has good taste.
>>59495572Johto Lost, Deal with it!
>>59491518Oh shit was this confirmed?
Is it gonna look like a gamecube game again
>>59496597Maybe they improve the graphics and it will look like Battle Revolution?
>>59493918ireland fought too hard for its independence to be treated as a footnote to the UK region, in a spinofff game no less
>>59491566Britain is the origin of all good things in the world.
>>59495549>Might replay S/V, but giant open world is sort of annoying. I wish they could go back to routes rather than open world and maybe have an area dedicated to open world (like wild area), but not make in the sole focus.I think Open World could save the franchise, but they need to scale it properlyI don't like non-linear adventure games because you always feel like you're not improving, but perhaps having the center part of the game (like Gyms 2-7) be more freeform where each of them upgrade and you can tackle them in any order could be coolBut they need to be far more difficultSWSH and VC have this problem where there are diverging paths of things you can do but simply doing a couple of battles already makes your pokemon outlevel the opponents.Also EXP Share is way too strong and I really genuinely hope they allow a way to turn it off in WW or far harsher exp penaltyI tried replaying BDSP recently after my LeafGreen playthrough and I just gave up at the Mist Mountain part because all my Pokemon are just 10 levels above anything I come across and I am skipping all the side contentNow that I think about it I think that's my main gripe with the switch games; I feel punished for wanting to do all the things the game offers me to doLeafGreen or the GB(A) games were really good here because it had parts where you were slowly trailing behind in the later parts of the game and you had the option to do some VS seeker and also farm some money, find an area you didnt clear yet, grind/catch some mons or go capture articuno or somethingI have to actively hamstring myself at every corner to have the battling portion be somewhat enjoyable
