The Situation Room 3.0

So...? Both are cool, regardless.

Snake pokemon are probably my most hated type... I catch them for the pokedex but... [censored] will I ever use one.

I spent this morning working on more preparations for my LP. It's exciting.

Certainly is.

Any chance we can have some spoilers? See the art? whatever?

You've already seen the overlay and very first scene comments.

Spoiler: another step closer

>.< Of course I did lol... I need sleep.

 

[Maniacal Engineer]

I’m almost done creating scenes for the first episode.

Can't wait!

So my solution to Let's Go Eevee?

.. I just traded and hatched an Eevee egg on my copy of Ultra Moon and I'm using that as my starter

 

[Wispy Willow]

Boo, that's a cheep cop-out. The best solution it to kinda just ignore it and wait for the next Pokérman games.

 

[Snowy]

Eh, I like starting with Eevee... and while USUM aren't my favourite games, they are still good so...

That said, I'm not sure there'll ever be any pokemon games I'd be able to play again

Oh? Why?

 

[Snowy]

Because Let's Go is the future of the franchise. Unfortunately, these "games" sold better than any of the real Pokemon games... which gives Nintendo and Gamefreak a reason to keep making Let's Go games and to ignore the Red, Blue, yellow to ORAS style (I exclude SM/USUM because they don't have gyms...while I did enjoy the trials, I don't think I want them in all future games)

Isn't it too soon to say that?

 

[Snowy]

I don't think so.. I mean, look at the trend in the gaming industry.

EA's glorified casinos sell well, so they keep making glorified casinos.

Ubisoft's "games as a service" nonsense sells well, so they keep doing it (Can I get a refund on FC5 yet? Please?)

Bethesda keeps releasing buggy, glitch filled games, but they sell well, so they keep doing it.

Activision releases... Okay, don't even get me started on activision.

The point is, when a big business sees something they do... good or bad... selling like hotcakes (As the saying goes), they'll keep doing it.

I still say it's too soon to conclude Game Freak's gonna do that same kind of thing. But we'll see later on.

 

[DarthWolf]

Can Metapod even learn that move?

You're asking that to THE METAPOD person here... He knows his stuff

Actually Eevee, I'd have to go look for a source (and it's a bit late so I won't x) but It has been confirmed by gamefreak employees that the 2019 game will be closer to a core game experience.

Unfortunately, these "games" sold better than any of the real Pokemon games...

I would also like to know where you got this data from? As Let's Go pre-orders where massively dropped after multiple trailers where shown and Smash Ultimate was announced. Which has been confirmed by amazon earlier this summer.

All hope ain't lost yet. While Let's Go is definitely a fun and enjoyable game; it's not the same as a core game experience. Thus I will never see it as one. Let's go is a side game, and I enjoyed it as one. Next year we'll have a cool new core game, and while another let's go game coming to switch/future consoles is definitely a possibility. I very much believe it's too early to throw in the towels and say pokemon is doomed.

Also, not to bring your point down, but just as some 'fun' facts.

EA's glorified casinos sell well, so they keep making glorified casinos.

EA's stock prices have been dropping MASSIVELY. They definitely aren't doing well in the slightest as a company.

Spoiler: stock

I should specify, that they're currently at 82~$

Bethesda keeps releasing buggy, glitch filled games, but they sell well, so they keep doing it.

While I believe could've definitely done better in regards to Fallout 76 in a lot of areas, and they rightfully got low review scores across the board. From a game dev's perspective I don't think they tried to "milk the community". I actually think they believed they were doing the right thing, but sadly just failed in the delivery due to short production time and a small budget. The idea of making the fallout experience online multiplayer was interesting, the execution was mediocre at best. Maybe modders & updates will fix the game. But regardless, I think Bethesda has learned their lesson.
We'll see how Skyrim 6 ends up being, will it be a buggy mess? There's a chance. From the small trailer we've had, it at least appears they're using a new engine. If that's the case, old bugs at least won't return. Says nothing about how many bugs we'll have yet. But hey, I'm hopeful. While they're definitely not one of the best studios out there, I have a bit of faith in Bethesda.

Ubisoft's "games as a service" nonsense sells well, so they keep doing it (Can I get a refund on FC5 yet? Please?)

Oh ubisoft... Ubisoft is a weird one. They seemingly seem to want to try, and then I feel somewhere mid development someone just goes at the table "Hey, did we make sure to add some way to piss off our users yet?". Some of my favorite games are Ubisoft games, and a lot of people share that with me. But they are also a very messy company when it comes to so many things. I don't know what you mean exactly with "games as a service" (please elaborate ^^; ) but yeah. I definitely will still be buying their next instalment of Anno if it's any good (which I hope) but that'll be about it.

Activision releases... Okay, don't even get me started on activision.

*snickers & mumbles something while walking out of the room*
