The current theory among competitive players is that pure Dragon-type Pokémon will end up as Colorless-types like they were before Dragons Exalted introduce the Dragon-type to the TCG but with fixed weaknesses (Dragon-type Pokémon that got the Colorless treatment were either weak to Colorless-types or had no weaknesses at all).

As for why Dragon-types were dropped come SWSH if also assumed to be the same reasoning behind the retiring of the Fairy-type: simplifying the number of weaknesses in the game,

Nice to see that even the card game is getting dumbed down.

TPCi is run by cheapskates and didn't like that 4KIDS spent a lot of money on their dubs, so there's obvious cut corners with the production. Sarah Natochenny at least is an actual fan and they tried to cast someone who could sound as close to Veronica Taylor as much as possible, but even though she's gotten better with experience, the script and ADR director's directing (currently Lisa Ortiz) ultimately still bleed through. Supposedly it was worse when Tom Wayland was in charge.

Also Sarah was (or still is? Which is actually retarded if so) a smoker, so that's why Ash sounds rather rough.

EDIT: morning brainfarts

Explain how Sarah sounds like Veronica in any way. Ash’s balls dropped the second the voice actors changed.

One of the things that seemed so weird to me decision-wise in SwSh is that they added a lot of unique animations for the Pokémon to use, but it's all completely restricted to the camping gimmick. They really did put work into some of the Pokemon animations, but then basically didn't use them in any meaningful way.

They could have easily fixed some of the shitty Sky Battle 3D models for mons like Skarmory. He has an entire set of standing and attacking animations that look similar to his Stadium 2/Genius Sonority standing stance when in the camping mode.

I know it's all wishful thinking, but they could easily implement something like multiple battle stances for some Pokemon depending on something like their Nature. To continue with the Skarm example: Maybe a +Spd nature he has the flying animation set he currently is stuck with, but a +Atk or +Def nature he has the aggressive standing animation set.

Even fucking Pokémon Go has what I assume to be unique walking/running/playing animations (e.g. not recycled from main series games) for when you’re “walking” them as your buddy for every single Pokémon in the game so far. Not fixing basic shit like the flying models isn’t even laziness, it’s just pure apathy.

We’re not even asking for that much, we just want the mons to look like they do in Home and actually have animations when they attack.

That’s why I distinguish between laziness and apathy.

Laziness would imply a mindset like “I know I really SHOULD do X but I just don’t feel like it”. Meanwhile, I’m pretty sure Gamefreak’s stance on these issues is “...problem? I don’t see a problem here”.

And there’s no excuse for those gliding Flying-types, even back when Sky Battles were a thing. Why do the other Charizards fly but Mega X does the stupid glide?
 
Do you remember when others heaped exceptional praise on Pokémon Let's Go Mobile, that Chinese bootleg of Pokémon? That was because of the 'high-quality animations'... including Blastoise's Hydro Pump actually going out of the cannons or Charizard's Flamethrower coming out of the mouth... something that was in contras to the official 3D mainline Pokémon games.
People soon brought up tha the animations were stolen and the bootle game used way, WAY less characters anyways. Then a new article mentioned tha the game used way more identifying information than what a mobile app would use.

She's not close to Veronica's talent and range, but apparently in the auditions, Sarah was the closest to sounding like Veronica which was all TPCi was looking for (they didn't want it to be too jarring for the kids still watching). We don't know who else was at the auditions and if they were any better or not.

At any rate, she's easier to listen to than Kayzie Rogers (she voiced Ash in the first (and hopefully lost) dub of The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon) and I hate that that mental scar will never leave me.

Tha 'turn free online stuff into purchasable physical stuff' is not new. See the many people who buy physical releases of online games... especially free ones.

Same reason Gengar is just chilling in the Sky Battles, with no alternative battle stance because Levitate (RIP to that, btw. Never forget).

But what game was the Blastoise animation stolen from? If it's stolen from the Pokémon games themselves, then I'd see it more as putting those animations to actual use. Granted, Game Freak has reused animations from spinoff titles like PokéPark, but most of mainline has original animations.

Let's see which animations aren't from a Pokémon game... I know that Greninja's animations were from a Naruto game (not sure which one, though), and Hitmonchan's might come from Punch-Out on the Wii? That's pure speculation on my part, and who knows? Some animations could be original since I don't expect every animation to be stolen except for the more popular Pokémon.

But considering Game Freak can simply just reuse assets from the Stadium and Battle Revolution titles, yet don't... It's a pretty simple solution to the "high quality animations" issue to simply steal your own animations from previous spinoff titles or make a Stadium-type engine for 3D mainline titles.

Gengar isn't allowed in Sky Battles(But Haunter is). They went soley by their model's pose, so there were numerous instances of Levitate and Flying Pokemon not being allowed in them even if the rest of their evolutionary family was.

Niggers will be niggers. No matter how much you self mutilate your own culture.

Why does ash look like a sleazy grandpa now but still LARP's as a 10 year old instead of being a mentor figure for someone else (preferably non-nigger and asian since it is a Japanese Franchise

Re-using assets has always been an industry standard to cut development time unless you are supporting an individual with a passion project who doesn't just make a demo and milk their patrons like enough to notice do.

Its also why the Halo shield effect and Tie fighter screech/laser fire are now used in other franchises and games as the modern "Wilhelm scream.")


Still sad that Gen 4 isnt even getting one of the big "5-10 year anniversary" treatments and the remakes look like rushed out shovelware.
Did they ever add the national dex to sword and shield? Last I heard it was "nope nuh-uh 2 herd fer animutions"-Gamefreak and now im seeing this shit spammed all over Youtube with GEN 3 pokemon in Sword and Shield that they said were not going to be in the game at all ever:
