the game may get shoved out a week early but the vortex is definitely endgame plot. all the leakers for swsh and pla took several days to get to the end of those games respectively and doled out random shit along the way to string people along. by the time the games hit actual release date they were at the end of their games and could spill everything at that point.
same shit will happen with sv
The vortex is a way not to design the center of the area. The area got big and instead of creating the content they just covered the area with the same clouds they use for outer margins of the maps. Ez pz lemon squeezy.
>"What's under the clouds?" >"Soil. Probably. No go play with your DLC."
Yeah, while I appreciate the higher quality models, I wish the art style still looked like SwSh's. You could have the modeled eyes and mouths with the Sugi look, and going more stylized would make the overworld look less shitty since it's not trying to be realistic
SwSh was shit but it at least looked good outside of animations and the wild area
Not super impressed. To be honest region design has been my biggest gripe in the 3D era. Kalos was the beginning of the end. They haven't felt like real lived in regions with lots of cool little nooks to explore since the DS era. I want to believe it's going to have cool towns and points of interest but considering Galar and the general look of the map I don't have much faith.
I agree with this. Alola was the best of the 3D era but still mediocre. It was full of soul on the surface level but had zero depth and was just a guided tour of an amusement park basically.
Considering Galar was missing alot of staples of the series region design, I'm pretty worried.

Galar just felt like one of those North Korea propaganda cities where it's all just set dressing. I think they used to design awesome regions that felt lived in and now they're mainly just concerned with it merely *looking* like something cool.
Tapped out after gen 7. So when gen 9 was announced, I had no intention of buying it.
But then I saw that the legendries can be used to glide, swim, ride and that it's gonna be open with the gym order...I'm a little interested. I'll still wait to see reception, but I'm interested.
World feels barren. Most new character designs are gay or bland. Crystal hat gimmick is moronic, even worst than just "gettng bigger". Pokemon designs are mostly fine except the motorcycle legendaries which is completely fricking stupid. Gameplay seems intriguing but they'll probably frick it up.
>2 months for Yamper 2, worse Duraludon and brown Wooper
That trailer was shit and not worth the 2 month wait, the only good things were Arcanine and Slaking coming back.
Leakers once again carrying this incompetent franchise.
I like the region design a lot.
While level design looks to be as comically shit as Gen 7/8, the region has what's equivalent to 20 routes.
With some places being pretty clearly optional, I think I'm not reaching too far by saying this is the biggest region since Kalos, or potentially ever.
There doesn't seem to be any postgame area, though top-right looks like it leads somewhere.
Goddamn that looks murky as hell. Kinda shocked Pokemon looks so blurry where Xeno3 basically perfected the art of a dynamic resolution without looking like a pixel soup.
that I want to know what the vortex is about
you will continue to feel that until release day when someone who got an early copy is already there to leak the information to the internet
The game will be leaked at the very latest a week before release day.

You said this about SS but it didn't happen and people were pissed
SoulSilver? That’s a loooong time ago, dude
>you will continue to feel that until release day
>he thinks it's ever going to be explained
You must be new here. The vortex is Zygarde 2.0.
The vortex is a way not to design the center of the area. The area got big and instead of creating the content they just covered the area with the same clouds they use for outer margins of the maps. Ez pz lemon squeezy.
>"What's under the clouds?"
>"Soil. Probably. No go play with your DLC."
I wouldn't be surprised if you can't even access the vortex in the base game.
Well there is that building in the crater but I think it's not gonna matter much. Just like weather institute in Gen 3.
>Whole story is after controlling weather effects.
>You visit once.
>Fight 4 grunts.
>Grab Castform.
>Never set foot there again.
the definitive death of Pokemon
I'll see you next gen when you're saying the same thing
Leak dex gets me hard but they show a cake dog, a pig and other shits
And i really like the map i want to EXPLOOOOORE
>That 30 year old explooorer
Looks better then SWSH not much of an accomplishment but still something I didn't expect after BDSP.
The returning Pokémon pool looks great so far, the new ones not so much.
New Gimmick is boring as shit as always.
Character designs are shit.
I miss SWSH artistic direction, best thing gen 8 did hands down was the character design.

Looks comfy at least

Exactly right. Galar was such a rushed shit show of a region. All reused assets from Sun and Moon too.
well put
>Galar just felt like one of those North Korea propaganda cities where it's all just set dressing.
Best summation I've read about these games.
Looks at least 4x better than Galar. Hopefully the soundtrack is good.

the gym levels don't change from whatever they are initially coded in as as the official "order" so there's no real point

Looks like a theme park
Looks like a shithole with no sense of fashion

Frick off
no
Don’t make me tell you again
More like Pals Deap in shit
More like Paldiarrhea.
It’s no pronounced “día” it’s “dÉa”, you fricking dumbass. Learn a second language before embarrassing yourself.

What is happening in the middle of the region? Devil's Anus kind of gimmick?
It's a barren wasteland.
It's quite lonely looking and ugly
All I know is that my starter is going to be Sprigatito and his name is going to be Miguel.
Spanish names for my whole team.
Dude that's an excellent idea.
Miguel is a Portuguese name, buddy.
>The name Miguel is of Hebrew origin and means "who is like God." It is the Spanish and Portuguese form of Michael. Syllables: 2.
As I was saying, Spanish names for all my team.
Honestly it seems like an acceptable job
It’s all gay
I just call it pal region
Goddamn that looks murky as hell. Kinda shocked Pokemon looks so blurry where Xeno3 basically perfected the art of a dynamic resolution without looking like a pixel soup.
