Pokémon (Not-So) Griefing Thread - Scarlet and Violet Released with 10 Million Copies in First 3 Days in Buggy States

[Massively Strong Greed]

Regieleki at least makes sense in Japanese, since Eleki is the loan word for electric, like how they wrote out Rock, Ice, and Steel the same way, and it's possible "Regielectric" was too long to localize like that, as it'd be the longest Pokemon name so far at 12 characters. Regilectric would work I suppose, but it looks just as weird as Regieleki to me. Drago has no excuse, just stick an n on the end. I'm wondering if they had a specific reason to go with Electric and Dragon, or if it was just random. Past their names, the first three titans have very similar movesets and stats, while the latter two are just barely imitating them. Even if their movesets might be technically better, and more interesting, it takes away from being part of the group.
It also wouldn't surprise me if they only made these two to show everyone that they can do more than just capitalize off of gen one's popularity. They could've just made Galarian Latios and Latias if they wanted to stick with Gen 3, and they only wanted to make two new mons, and it would've been a million times more understandable, and more likeable.

I just wish they actually bothered translating Regieleki’s name. I don’t understand the autism where legendaries/mythicals/Pikachu clones have to have the same name in almost all languages.

Main development was probably spend on legends until the team realized, "Oh shit people still want gen 4 remakes" and this was made at the last minute, it's the only way to explain this shit.

I mean, it'd align with my old belief that Legends was meant to be a DP remake, got way too experimental, and then they asked Ilca to make a true remake.

Pal park is also inaccessible in the prerelease - which is also wild, as we actually have a map for that with extra caves that have long been the subject of speculation. So there's definitely some kind of patch coming.

There's a guess that maybe the postgame is deliberately not included pre-day 1 patch, as they were expecting it to leak.

It also doesn't have an intro cutscene.

Has the actual BDSP NSP/XCI been dropped publicly yet? For now, it just seems like one guy posting stuff which seems kinda fishy.

some fags on /vp/ claim they have it rn, case in point this retard https://boards.4channel.org/vp/thread/48645866 but I doubt anyone if they have it will leak it, leaker fags act like a gay secret treehouse fort or some shit

Kingdom Hearts 3 also did this with part of the ending, but they at least put out a statement confirming that the game disc was incomplete on purpose. Considering Game Freak's half assing this gen, whether it's on purpose or rushed is still up for debate. Beyond leaks there's also review copies, which no matter how much you tell an outlet not to spoil the game, someone will for those sweet sweet clicks.

I hope they eventually release an updated version to cart on a later run for future collecting purposes like they did with Sword and Shield with its DLC. The best way to not have leaks is to just not put it on the cart, so I understand where they're coming from on the initial run though.

SMT even has better leakers too! If half the shit that people have said about the leaks turns out to be legit I'm going to look forward to the shitshow that this game will provide for the next couple days.

Day one patch of some sort confirmed

Edit: Apparently the game itself is 10gb, which could mean one of two things:
1: Downloading the game before unpacking, and the update, takes 8gb total
2: The update is 8gb.

After doing some research it appears that ramanas is a species of rose native to Japan.

Also, I'm not too surprised by there being a gift Pokemon for having a SWSH save. I just wasn't expecting to be one of the harder Mythicals to get in the series' history. Now if it could only be Shiny...

It's been dumped, someone's playing it on Yuzu.

Fuck thanks man, was able to grab it before the Nintendo ninjas took it down, might play though this tomorrow on yuzu

Apparently there's all sorts of bugs with the emulator, as you'd expect from what's basically an unfinished game that just got sent through. Good luck.

This shit is made in unity, easiest modded 3d pokemon game, though anon is overselling how much one can do with it being in the engine
Edit: don't want to double post, played with a bunch of guys in some discord I'm in, holy shit this game fucking sucks, like IDK how to put it but everything just feels slightly off in a way I cant put my finger on right now. I think it's probably due to the music or some shit. It's like a mobile game, really a shame since I had high hopes with the artstyle looking cute and the games adding some cool stuff to the underground and contests, might play more but idk.

We get physical copies, so I'm gonna have to let my brother know ahead of time that an update needs to happen before he starts playing it.

But FFS why can't developers fucking finish their damn games and stop having to rely on day-one patches?

EDIT: Re: Galarian Regis, their designs honestly doesn't make sense to me, because they're supposed to be golems, anthropomorphic inanimate matter that was built by human hands. Which is why the existence of Regigigas kinda messes with the lore since apparently, Regigigas wasn't made by humans since its job was to tow the continents into place, and it was the one who created the other Regis. I think an electric Golem can be a neat idea, but the design just looks... Was the best they could really think of was an incandescent lightbulb?

And Regidrago just looks stupid. Dragon heads for hands isn't cool, it never was.

Also if Regigigas made Regieleki and Regidrago, then where on its body does it show electric and dragon elements? The orbs on Regigigas' body are meant to represent the Golems under its command.

Goddamn it, Game Freak, get your lore right.

With the way they did with Drago? Hard disagree. Especially when it uses it's signature move.

Goddamn it, Game Freak, get your lore right.

I feel like their intention was for them to be foreign and completely out of the blue like the galarian bird trio. I know that sounds obvious, but it's especially true for these two regis.

For all we know they likely weren't created by gigas and were instead formed from outside elements. Regidrago was probably the result of lingering energy from an ancient dragon pokemon hence why it's arms are a dragon skull and the dex mentioning "crystallized dragon energy". Same for Eleki.

 

[Fialovy]

I think the new Regis are supposed to be based on the Middle Ages and the Industrial Age much like how the original regis are based on the Stone Age, Ice Age, and Iron Age, not just golems.

Oh boy. So it turns out that BDSP are shipped together. With a byte difference patch, BD will boot into SP instead.
