Also, was BDSP that dissapointing? Aside from the forced Exp. Share and seeming lack of Platinum content, it seems pretty solid.

Don’t forget that you have to spam the bitter medicine in order to stop affection bonuses from happening. Combine these complaints with the $60 price tag and the graphics/presentation being arguably worse than Sword and Shield, and I can see why people are disappointed.

The game isn’t even out and they’re already telling people they need to download a patch first

How fucked is this game? Not in the sense of people buying it, it’s a Pokemon game so it will sell but fucked as in how it will work without the patch?

Since @Love_Machine011 didn’t explain, I will.
Without the patch, there’s:
no intro video at all
no Dialga/Palkia on the title screen, it’s just a black screen with the logo
no postgame at all
those awful MIDI versions of the battle themes
and stupid graphical shit like a lack of shadows in certain areas or Bibarel being behind you when you use Rock Climb

Hahahaha suck on that one game collectors.
 
I'm kind of shocked that no one covered this, but apparently a new collectable-related reality show is going to be on Netflix and it's going to feature the Pokemon TCG.
A reality TV show for trading cards and sports collectibles will soon be coming to Netflix!

Brent Montgomery, the producer of Pawn Stars, has inked a deal with Netflix to create an unscripted show featuring Ken Goldin and his company Goldin Auctions.

For those who don’t know, Goldin Auctions is well-known in the hobby industry for arranging auctions of sports collectibles and trading cards, including Pokemon. They’ve brokered the most valuable Pokemon TCG auctions of all time, such as a PSA 10 Charizard that sold in March for a record-breaking $390,000. They deal with other card games too.

In phone calls to PokeBeach, Goldin’s Jared Mast and founder Ken Goldin confirmed the show would “definitely” feature the Pokemon TCG.

The premise of the show is currently under wraps. However, I would assume we’ll see auctions of rare items, meet collectors, watch how Goldin conducts their business behind the scenes, and hear expert testimony. (As a director and producer myself, that’s what I would do! :x)

If you would like to be involved in the show, Goldin is asking PokeBeach’s readers to send in photos of valuable or meaningful Pokemon TCG items they would want to auction off. Readers are asked to submit to <sell@goldin.co> with the subject “PB Collection Photos.”

The show is currently in pre-production but hasn’t begun filming. A pilot episode has already been filmed, which is standard affair in the entertainment industry for new shows. As of writing The Pokemon Company is not involved with the show. (Despite their upcoming Netflix Pokemon show, though that’s still in its early stages.)

This collectibles show was pitched to several cable channels and streaming services this year, including The History Channel, but Netflix ultimately won the bid. Lately, streaming giants are aggressively purchasing reality shows to fill their slates. Not only do viewers want to binge them, but they’re cheaper and quicker to make than scripted shows. Last year, three of the ten most popular shows on Netflix were reality shows, including Tiger King.

From I can gather on article's comments section and and the QRTs for a Tweet from Pokebeach's admin mentioning the article, people aren't happy about it at all.

The least they could do is reprint the game with the patch(es) on the cartridge…but I highly doubt that’ll happen.

People assumed that SwSh wouldn't get physical copies of the games with the two DLC packs in 'em but it's available if you know where to look.

Their comments are exactly what immediately popped into my head. Netflix is chasing a trend and plans to make a quick buck off the back of TCG scalpers and the current internet craze over the cards. It's going to further turn the TCG into an investment game where rich people buy cards to turn a easy profit.

It can only end terribly. Grown men are already getting into irl slap fights over Pokemon cards which makes it hard enough for people to get product.

Anti Piracy has gone too far.

Maybe don't pirate a game literally days after its release?

Like, at least wait a week or two.
 
Well, I'm looking at the information from Serebii and these remakes are getting lazier. Seriously. They couldn't be bothered to put in some elements from Platinum outside of the DLC skins? I have always found Diamond/Pearl to have the worst Pokedex out of all the generations, due to the lack of Fire-types aside from the Infernape and Ponyta lines. It's a sick joke that the Electric-type gym leader and Fire-type Elite Four members have teams where half or more their members are not of their respective specialties. At least give the fans the Platinum Dex. I'm guessing that there isn't even a postgame and at least ORAS gave us the Delta Episode.

The caves to my knowledge are suppose to make up for the lack of fire types as you will be able to easily find them there.

There is a post-game if the patch news is any indication.
