Yeah given that it's modern day Poke'mon Company we're dealing with here, this announcement is a relatively pleasant surprise. They finally caught up with the times with expansion releases. Also you don't actually need to purchase the expansions to get the added Poke'mon as opposed to getting another game for it.

Granted the fundamental problems with Sword and Shield are probably gonna remain (The terrible writing even by series standards, dyna/gigantamax being a poorly thought out piece of shit mechanic, old Poke'mon map design that betrays the open world this game wants me to believe I'm immersed in, a switch game with production values that aren't that much of a step up from the 3DS entries) but at least they got their expansion model good this time around.

Gigantamax is an annoying thing that's not worth it. Dynamax moves are generally better than the G-Max exclusive moves and they can have egg moves. Such a shitty mechanic...I mean you can play by smogon rules where its banned but then you're just left with a bare bones meta with a low poke'mon pool and incentive to go back to Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon where the terrains and megas offer at least something remotely interesting to battle.

They could've handled it a lot worse. Like you know, like release the expansions as stand alone games like they normally do.

Articuno might finally be good...In what is one of the worst metas Poke'mon has seen. It's like raaaaaaiiiiiin on your wedding day...

...I would actually love to see terrible WWE 2K20 model zombie versions of various Poke'mon. But yeah I'd imagine as a stand alone game, it's Average Poke'mon Game/10.

They're using the same model frames since X and Y. It's been found in the data. I don't think they screwed up the importer since they clearly imported those models in. It also means they didn't actually remake the models entirely from scratch so that interview was PR lies. I think the fans should stop going after game freak and also after each other and start yelling at the higher ups in the Poke'mon Company because something ain't right there.

At least the game itself is apparently very good in spite of the development conditions. That's honestly a relief. I can't wait to see it for myself in Poke'mon Gun version.

....What?  What the hell did I miss that was the sex appeal gigantamax form?  Please don't be referring to the actual Pokémon.  Unless you mean the Eevee attract thing, which where did they say it got a boost?  Should still work only on opposite-gendered Pokémon.  I'd imagine the Pikachu bonus would still be more useful working on Ground types.

I'm cool with Person Man just wanting the new Poke'mon adventure I'm just not cool how abrasive he is in some of his posts toward those that wanted more. It doesn't make him any better or any more of an adult than them. Being more in the hardcore crowd I find the cards that Gamefreak dealt us this time to be dreadfully underwhelming, not worth the 20 extra bucks in the slightest, and not intriguing enough for me to try the game even if it was gifted to me. Yet I will respect his difference in view as much as he will respect mine.

Charizard having a G-Max is a good thing because Gamefreak is aware that its megas finally made it meta relevant and a lot of people enjoyed that. Charizard is absolute trash without megas so it needed something to compensate. Butterfree I'm cool with too because it's like an opposite day thing with Mega Beedrill. The rest is just meh whatever. Still not really demanding my full interest.

You just got yourself a spot on my invisible list of blacklisted players.
That happens to me a lot.

Well, Hydreigon is back to once again be demolished by a fairy, and a giant fairy cake of all things.
but Zweilous makes a great pet Poke'mon. That thing is sooo precious <3. A shame they won't bring back the HG/SS/Lets Go pokemon following you around thing. That would be animation work that would more than justify transfer locking.

Your hate only makes it all the more satisfying for us stall players to watch your pets struggle uselessly as they wither and die. Now if they confirm Skarmory, Cresselia, and the Chansey line I'll...still be in no hurry to get these games but I'll at least smile.

First of all nobody questions Umezono and I's public sex acts.

But yeah with how tight the development schedules for these games have been getting, something had to give. Now, the only time I could see them locking out species from transfer without significant backlash would be X and Y where they had to redo everything with models...Which means unfortunately for Gamefreak people have been using X and Y as a basis for comparison as to how much they botched sword and shield. It's only gonna get worse once the game is released and god help the internet if data for all poke'mon is found in the games (I'm pretty sure it will be for a variety of reasons such as reference material and multiplayer with other games).

I am still sure gen 8 will eventually have all poke'mon compatible in one of its games. Give it a game or two and all Poke'mon will have been fully adapted to the Switch poke'mon engine so there will not be a reason to not just throw full compatibility in a game as its selling point to "win back the crowd".

The title has an accented E. It's the closest I can get to doing it correctly.

I do believe Masuda deserves a little bit of flack for outright lying about his first PR statements with the animation and balance stuff but I don't think he should be fired, step down, or get accused of rape (Again. WHAT THE ACTUAL SHIT). I think Poke'mon needs to step down a little. They're vomiting out poke'mon titles every year and this oppressive development schedule is clearly taking a greater and greater toll. Too much growth can weaken a franchise.

That's it. I'm buying Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth for Switch.
Those animation are 10 times better compared to Sword and Shield! I hope they don't use the janky translation again.
Digimon has always had Poke'mon beat when it came to video games and the anime but it could just never match up to Poke'mon's popularity. Though it is interesting to see more eyes open as people want a new monster raising game to pass the time while they wait for gamefreak to get their stuff together and release the more complete ultra/2/gun versions of sword and shield.

Meanwhile, members of the National Dex movement have started a campaign to demand that Junichi Masuda be fired over all of this.

While another member took to Twitter to accuse him of rape.

Seems like a perfectly reasonable and rational reaction to your make-believe animal checklist not being as long as you would have preferred.
All sides of the fanbase except for competitive NU and PU players are insane. Still though, what the actual shit.
