        It's worse, because before you could skip the beta version of the game, and just buy the finished version for the cost of one game. Now you need to buy the beta, bug test it for Game Freak, then pay for the patch to make it a complete game.

            But we're not discussing third versions anon. We're talking DLC, which is by its very nature wholly new content, given they hadn't made it before launching the paired games, unlike during Emerald or Platinum developments where they took the lion's share of "content" from the previous entry then added a couple new hallways.

                Yeah? That doesn't contradict that. A third DLC wouldn't be another game, that'd be DLC. Could easily be Teal Mask, Indigo Disk, Mystery DLC, then Legends Kyurem or whatever.

                How likely is it that the DLC finally gives us gen 9 battle tower? I kinda doubt we wont get one at all but I think its only in part 2. I hope teal mask has at least something like the dojo in gen 8.

                We dont know for certain obviously, but Blueberry academy might function as this gens battle facility. The website mentions that you get BP (which are Blueberry points) that you use to upgrade your room, unlock throwing styles, etc.. Obviously that's a reference to Battle Points, but it also has baggage mechanically-- The game's already have LP (Which Home even uses as this games stand-in currency), so having a separate currency necessitates that there's a need to obtain them separately. Basically, it'd follow that after whatever we do with the E4 stuff at the academy, it seems it may function as a Battle Tower afterwards for us to grind and get points for upgrades and the missions and shit theyve been talking about.

                Also iirc Khu did say prior to release that the battle tower was saved for DLC

                get real please. pokemon is yearly releases and there's no way that pokemon is currently in the process of translating the unova game that's 2 years away. the chinese translation team is how khu gets his information, that means it's being worked on right now.

                Again, nothing about that contradicts the possibility of another DLC. If a Unova remake gets announced, itll almost surely be on Pokemon day. This would mean the release date for Unova is almost surely around Sept-Nov next year, as is the cycle.

                Considering Indigo Disk is coming out "Winter of 2023", this means that a 3rd DLC could VERY EASILY fit around a Summer release date. This also lines up perfectly with

                There's also this that, though its hard to interpret, could imply a second DLC after 'The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero"
                Remember that its technically a DLC split into two parts, whereas this so-far accurate leak implies a outright second DLC.
                Or maybe I'm dumb, but either way, graphical enhancements would be nice.

                claiming that there'd be a performance update with another DLC, as the Switch 2 has a chance of being out by that.

                And this is all assuming worst case scenario where Pokemon sticks to a rigid release cycle, timing wise.

                you're coping hard dude. they might do a small free update like legends arceus got, but there's not going to be a third dlc like teal mask and indigo disk. they abandoned legends arceus like 1 month after it released to move onto the next pokemon day announcement. next year the focus is this unova game. besides, khu would have hinted at a third before starting to hint at unova and he hasn't

                Not even. I'm not saying there's 100% DLC coming, just that it's a possibility given the timeline of releases. The 2 DLC releases we have are unusually close together and coupled, and there's a big span of time between the 2nd DLC and a potential release of a new game. Hence, Unova does not contradict the possibility.

                >dlc1 is teal mask and dlc2 is indigo disk

                DLC2 having a performance update for a non existent console makes 0 sense. They're not gonna couple that with the DLC release. So unless something changed internally, this doesn't make sense.

                >they abandoned legends arceus like 1 month after it released to move onto the next pokemon day announcement.

                Yeah, a lesser game compared to a full blown generation. We've already got more DLC, so that's an irrelevant comparison. Also keep in mind, this DLC was announced alongside Gen 9 on Pokemon Day.

                it's literally no longer than any other year when the game releases november and the next game doesn't release until the november a year later. so idk what you're talking about.
                >DLC2 having a performance update for a non existent console makes 0 sense.
                the new switch has been delayed a few times, the leaker was probably working on outdated info. they will probably just bundle the game and dlc with a patch when the new console releases. nintendo sits on things for a long time like the metroid prime remaster.
                >Yeah, a lesser game compared to a full blown generation.
                scarlet and violet was the full blown generation. you're now equating a third dlc to be equivalent to scarlet and violet which is an irrelevant comparison
                >We've already got more DLC, so that's an irrelevant comparison.
                yes we did, they've supported the game for a year and will promote a new project next year while ignoring scarlet and violet outside of vgc.
                >Also keep in mind, this DLC was announced alongside Gen 9 on Pokemon Day.

                The fact that there is a time frame long enough for extra DLC, anon. How long they normally go between games is irrelevant (and not entirely true as we saw with BDSP, PLA, and SV), so long as there's a time frame long enough. It's like saying that they couldn't have released PLA between BDSP and SV just because they normally span out that length of time... yet they fricking DID do that.

                >the new switch has been delayed a few times, the leaker was probably working on outdated info. they will probably just bundle the game and dlc with a patch when the new console releases. nintendo sits on things for a long time like the metroid prime remaster.

                Maybe. It's a possibility that I alluded to. But that's still a guess, and doesn't disprove the idea. Also the Switch 2's delay was from ~March of next year to ~Late Fall, not Winter of 2023. Even at the earliest interpretation, that was still further than the Indigo Disk's release date.

                >yes we did, they've supported the game for a year and will promote a new project next year while ignoring scarlet and violet outside of vgc.

                source needed

                >it was a small free update. you're not talking about a small free update but a third instalment after tm and id

                I literally never specified what I was talking about because nobody knows, just the notion of some form of 3rd DLC. Maybe it is a relatively small free update. Maybe it's not. Who the frick knows, the point is that there's potentially room for something else in between releases.

          Its possible that this could be in reference to another batch of DLC, yes. The first batch being both parts, internally seen as "DLC1", and "DLC2" being another stand alone or coupled release.

          What adds further credence to this, is that a Switch 2 wouldnt be out by the time Indigo Disk is out, so a performance upgrade couldnt be paired with that release.

          a 3rd DLC could add the remaining legendaries and fossilmons and the last pokemons not on any switch games and strectch out the gen9 for one more year at least.

They use quarterly determinations when revealing upcoming release dates (because they're as much for the investors or interested parties as for the playerbase - you see the date you get to play thing, they see the day they get a bump in yearly dividends/quarterly profits).

    The potential trend is that the Gen 8 dynamax Pokemon are getting evolutions to make up for lack of Dynamax.

    Someone was saying that the regional form may not be Sinstea, rather Gulpin. I don't think that is likely because Gulpin the Hoenn form exists in Violet as a version exclusive.

      Gigantamax stat boost you mean. Which was desperately needed for things like Flapple/Appletun. Duraludon in terms of BST not really. I could see Sandaconda, Centiskorch, maybe Copperajah being added to that. Anything with a third evo is already fine.

      >Sinstea, rather Gulpin
      Sinistea is already in the base game as well though. More likely something not already in the game. They are currently adding a lot of the Switch generation Pokemon that are only available in BDSP

            The last trailer straight up showed terapogos is in area zero. That was the last part with "once you beat the dlc you can return to area zero for new content" and then they show the turtle.

            They also promoted the ability to reacquire the flying ability for your mount so I assume they're connected. Like there's a door on a ledge that's patched in for the second dlc you can reach after beating it.

      Have you already played Scarlet? Either way, I'd just wait for the DLC. Unless it pulls an Isle of Armor and forces you to have an exp charm, it's going to be balanced for an early game party.

        Yeah last time I played Pokemon Sw/Sh on release I ended up canning it and never playing it again. Never tried the DLC when they came out. I feel like if I don't do it all at once I'll just never do it. But that could just be me.

          To be honest, I can't answer that question. When Sword and Shield release their DLC, it was incredibly fricked. The first part, Isle of Armor, was meant to be a early route where you were still traveling and doing gym battles (the rivals for Isle of Armor had pokemon that were level 10). The problem is, the DLC came out months after the release of the original game, so everyone was highly overleveled. Crowned Tundra, part 2, was balanced much better since this part was actually meant to be played after you beat the main story.

          However, this is even worst for Scarlet and Violet, especially since this game is not played in the traditional sense of pokemon. This game is open world and have three storyline and you can play it anyway you like. However, there is no scaling. You can literally traveled the entire region with no roadblocks but you can end up fighting someone 20 level higher than you just because you took the wrong turn or even fight the 8th gym leader first before the 1st one. People made guides on what route you are supposed to take if you want to play the game in a balance way. Since the DLC is, again, month later after the original release date and the game have no scaling, the first part is going to be shit.

Nothing about a bundle. I even explain to him if he is someone who cares about the scaling for the difficulty of the game that the scaling is all over the place, literally. What was your plans here?

    I trained some Pokémon for the main story, then for completing the Dex and revisiting every corner of the region I had another team including the other to starters and where able to train them from lv 5 to their 60s by battling trainers I didn't battle before.
    Now in the DLC I'm sure we'll get a new Pokémon at the beginning same as in the Isle of Armour. I will use whatever we get together with some Pokémon we weren't able to catch before like Clefable and use a totally different team!

    Idk what is coming next but I don’t think it’s going to assuredly be a gen 5 remake or legends kyurem. I only say this because as stupid as GF is, they haven’t ever followed a pattern across generations since maybe gen 2 with crystal after GS if you compare that to yellow after RG/B.

    Gen 6 gave us ORAS, Gen 7 gave USUM, not DP remakes, and then let’s go. Gen 8 gave us dlc than an outsourced BDSP and legends.

    Also considering the reaction to BDSP and recent talks over reevaluating yearly releases, I think that now more than ever we can’t predict what comes next. Before legends got announced, people argued between a second year of SWSH dlc or straight to Gen 9. Though I will say that prior to the announcement of BDSP/legends, once the SwSh dlc came out, gen 4 had the smaller percentage present of any generation in SWSH and if the dlc datamine about SV is correct, gen 5 will be missing the most pokemon.

    I’m not really banking on any option but I expect something unexpected. Maybe they’ll do a dlc IN unova, or a BW3? Both sound moronic to me but I’d expect something like that over the same type of games as last gen.

    • 9 months ago

      I find it really funny that people put so much stock into the "unpredictablity" idea. B2W2 was not them trying to be funny; it was them trying to make third versions more efficient.
      They liked to act like it was some grand shift; but there's a reason why the only game that had a third version post BW had 2 versions.
      X2Y2 getting canned and leaving a dead year was not them trying to be fancy either; there's interviews from the time that they wanted to get different IPs; so they put Pokemon on the backburner and thus those games got canned.

      I don't really get why you'd think outsourced games would suddenly get canned after working(BDSP sold normal remake numbers), even with a statement that people seem to think implies GF is even thinking of slowing down; though that is pretty unlikely with full context.
      More than likely its just talking about how their recent pipeline stuff they've been showing off in expos and clearly been getting off the ground in gen 9.
      Hence why they talk about a "shift" to release games at the same quantity but at a better quality.

        Also just to point out the obvious, as long as a prequel/sequel comes about; it makes sense to release the ILCA remakes.
        So GF avoiding hard remakes made by themselves would essentially force this. I feel like GF wouldn't want people to feel "forced" to buy the ILCA remake though, so I doubt you'll be getting "B3W3" in name.
        Course your legends Kyurem or whatever could be that sequel in actual context. Just not named such. It doesn't make sense to ditch the legends subtitle as it has garnered a decent reputation; something pokemon has in short demand.
        Not like it'd be that weird to have proper time travel stuff in a legends game.

        I feel like a hard region DLC probably isn't on the tables atleast until the annivesary, since proper dual regions is such a over hyped thing.So kanto in gen 10 I guess
        Like its technically possible but the timing here feels really wrong. Feel like even a DLC would still come with an ILCA remake regardless.

          Not him, but I agree. It’s not good for marketing when you release a numbered sequel for a game that your target audience hasn’t played.

          I’m not a huge fan of Gen 5, myself, and I know gimmicks are caught in a love/hate thing within the fanbase. However, the world tournament would be the perfect way to incorporate all existing gimmicks into a regular game, assuming they were willing to rework them (mostly dynamax) for balance. I doubt they’d do it, but it would be a cool thing for them to surprise us with.

        Okay even if BW2 are a more efficient way to do a third version, they still went against their previous norm instead of just making a Grey version.

        I’m just stating my observations, I’m not claiming that they’re going to follow any path for sure. For BDSP I’ve just seen more of a unanimous dislike for it than other releases. Again, just an observation. I also didn’t outright claim that they are slowing down releases, just pointing out another thing that’s come up recently because it’s interesting if they’re even having that conversation in the first place. I wouldn’t be surprised though if they did eventually halt releases. Every series that has moved to yearly releases and even try for more than one in a year has eventually bit off more than they can chew. It may not take effect in gen 9 but I think it may eventually.

          Contextually Pokemon is slightly less than yearly. And really if that does become the issue, it'd just make sense to make ILCAs game the main for that year rather than this weird half baked case.

          BDSP is actually a pretty interesting case all things considered, its clearly a product people want and will buy; its aggressively inoffensive in a sense.
          Yet people absolutely hate the graphics, something ILCA can easily fix if allowed(they clearly weren't the ones who wanted the weird super accurate art style).
          If TPC did take something from those bad reviews, I'd expect the visuals thing to be shifted rather than canning the idea as thats not very logical.
          I doubt people would even think of BDSP if they did that anyway.Suppose BW is the last gen they can even pull this anyway

          Also the lack of QA but people can just take that, plus if ILCA BW is a thing; they probably had a lot more time(and a game to work off of).

      I agree with your sentiment, but only in that it makes it unpredictable and not necessarily one thing or the other.

      If we're going by whats been leaked, I have a feeling that it's going to be "Legends Kyurem", but also "Paradox Unova" as one game. I think it'll be a Legends game, set in Unova's future.

      Khu teased Legends with his poll, but the fact that there was an option for "Paradox Unova" was a big red flag-- its a title that doesnt exist and nobody ever expected, so it being in a poll should be an eyebrow raising pick. Khu also hinted at Legends being a possible option given his comment afterwards.

      A Legends game set in Unova's future would make it a sort of "Paradox" equivalent to PLA-- past vs present kind of deal. It also fits snuggly with a lot of known context (Future paradox swords of justice, Unova's existing past vs future theming, the Strange Ball existing, Blueberry potentially being Unovan, Drayten potentially showing up as an old man). It'd also be a way to delve into the Original Dragon stuff without having to be utterly ancient-- PLA was the recent past, not ancient. Pokeballs wouldnt be a thing that far back.
