The art work for the map has been revealed on Facebook. It looks like the ? Unown. Not even joking. Such a disappointment. Why such a straight forward map? 5 steps forward, 8 steps back!

That music, those pokemon designs, those graphics, WTF is this crap? And here I thought Black and White were bad. This looks like a bad sonic game for the psvita that happened to feature pokemon, eww. And what is that region? England, Holland, Ireland, and Maine in one? Bleh. I would prefer cartman to paint my switch in hangover black.

Wow that was way more information than I would have expected. But the map looks very straight. You start at the bottom and finish at the top
It's almost like they wanted it to be a metaphor and made it literal. Start at the bottom and become the (very) best.

I hope at least there's a crow pokémon that's not Murkrow/Honchkrow. And a lake with a monster. And a really old queen that's the Champion of the Elite 4. OMG I'm hyping myself.

Why do they always release 2 of the same game when it comes to Pokémon?
There’s always that group of fanboys that buys both, so it makes sence that Nintendo try to abuse them out of some more money but idk. To me it seems like something that EA would do.
I mean I’m not asking them to save the fuckin children, it just seems scummy to me to suck double the money out for the same game.
To encourage interaction between players by making different obtainable Pokémon in each. It is not to get people to buy the same game twice, lol.
Trading has always been a major feature between Pokémon games, and it would be less necessary if you could just go get everything yourself in a single game.

So we won't have the companion following us. Expected. They don't really like to take time to make the games. Of course they wouldn't model 800+ pokemon.
Lame they went back w some changes like random encounter. Boring.

So, they went for the Mario Odyssey Graphic Engine, not a bad choice, not the best to be fair i would say.

But we can clearly "feel" the "out of place" of certain objects that made Odyssey stand out, this is definitly the same graphic engine and ressources.

From what we see in trailer pokemon will not follow you in this game. But anyway I can't wait to play this game. November seems really far away.

If it still piss easy like all the other pokemon games. No go for me unless some proper difficulty mods come.

Why do they insist on making the game super easy. Why would you ever want to use many pokemon that way or level them or think about what teams you use when it is so piss easy.
Yeah yeah I know in a way its a kid game. Atleast give us an OPTION to make the game hard or whtever.

Exactly my point, they release the same game twice, but change some of the Pokémon. It’s not like trading wouldn’t exist if there was only one game. There’s enough rarity that trading can be accomplished regardless.
By changing the Pokémon for the sole reason of rereleasing essentially same game
