Now that the dust is all over the place, what is your current hype level for Scarlet and Violet?
Personally, 8/10, never been higher for a Pokémon game, even if I wanted level scaling for the gyms and important battles. But it seems pretty good anyway, better than SwSh and SM
I've never wanted one of my favorite franchises to fail so badly. 1/10
>t. Preordered SwSh, SM, XY
who preorders pokemon games, besides retailers?
The only games I've preordered were Atlus games, and Yokai Watch Psychic Specters as well as two copies of Yokai Watch 3.
YW3 unironically btfo all 3DS and Switch pokemon games.
To consooooom those yummy preorder bonuses, amirite?
>Atlus limited quantities
beats having to hunt down a game like Etrian Odyssey III, later. I'm not doing that again.
Probably a 4/10. Leaks got me pretty excited for some of the new Pokemon but upon being revealed they're inevitably pretty disappointing.
Sounds like we won't be getting much of a postgame again minus RNG raids which some of the cooler pokemon are going to be locked behind.
No level scaling at all coupled with forced EXP share on an open world game guarantees you're going to be overlevelled so it's another easy one too.
Seems meh.
Same as this anon. Leaks had me interested but they blew pretty quickly with the reveals.
7 or 6 out of 10, cautiously optimistic. Everything about it besides shit graphics and no voice acting seems genuinely good, but I feel even after PLA gamefreak is gonna make another broken mash A simulator. The let's go mechanic has me even more worried cause it doesn't look engaging at all, but we'll see
skip it and wait for gen 10 or wait for more legends games
Say what you will, but my only investment in modern Pokémon anymore is via Pokémon GO, so the prospect of a bunch of new evolutions and regional/paradox forms is the only thing really on my radar. From the perspective of its contributions to the Pokédex, it might be a 7/10 for me assuming the leaks are accurate enough. While I'm not a huge fan of it, I'm glad that this game gives pic related some competitive opportunities.
I'm not gonna actually buy it until this board makes a good enough argument for me to play it (not gonna emulate it either, if it's worth playing I'll buy it).
2/10, looks like hot garbage. That said it can't be worse than XY.
x and y at least tried you big meanie SWSH didn't
>euthanasia
Is this the new Wondetbread-tier meme fetish?
???
0/10.
I'll be playing PLA instead.
yess please PLA is very fun to play hope you have fun anon ^=^
like a four, ill play it and im sure ill enjoy it but im not really hyped for it either
I'm yet to see even a single good reason to care about these games. 0/10
Did you ever find one for the last gens?
Frick you that image looked cute until I opened the thumbnail. Way to sour my expectations.
Sorry I now feel bad
3/10
>Pokemon designs suck
>Character designs suck
>The overworld looks worse than SWSH
>Terra Types were an ok idea but the hats killed it
>3 types of stories sounds cool but then you remember this is GF which means each story is going to be short and rushed
>Leakers have implied there's no post-game
6.5/10
I'm curious about the unrevealed pokemon designs, and this gen's gimmick seems interesting.
I'm probably around a 7.5. Worth noting that I'm usually not the type to really get hype for Pokemon games, I play them on reflex. But I'm genuinely looking forward to SV, I think it has a lot of potential. I enjoyed the SwSh DLC, especially just being able to explore at my leisure, so I hope SV provides a lot of that.
2/10 because I at leats want to see the new designs and how the open world plays out. Looks like complete shit otherwise
2/10
it's just so tiresome
Nothing.
I got nothing.
Open world and non-linear gym progression are cool but I just know GF will frick it up. The only Monster design I like so far is Fuecoco, I hate what they've done to the art style and I hate the human designs. I don't think I'm even interested enough to pirate.
>non-linear gym progression are cool but I just know GF will frick it up.
Doesn't the Gyms not having level scaling mean that they aren't really non-linear?
I slept while playing Ultra Sun like 5-6 times, endangering the integrit of my 3DS. That was the final straw with main pokémon games.
I have no desire in adquiring a switch or playing pokémon at release anymore. It's all rehash of the same thing but worse.
Harvest Moon/Story of Season its all rehash too, but at least each game feels enjoyable and they retain good features.
I have more fun playing GBA and DS pokémon games.
