3rd mainline game on the switch (if you count Arceus) and it still looks like complete shit lmao.

And those starters.... what the fuck do these japs need to start smoking?
 
I was listening to Shofu an hour ago, and the point he made on BDSP makes me sad, bros:

It's just a half-assed holiday cash grab, that was overshadowed by PLA literally from its first announcement. And now Gen 9 is revealed? I've never felt so cucked as a Gen 4 fan, and I never even purchased the game.

But good thing Shaymin's coming, amirite?

5th, if you include all titles that Game Freak lists as mainline titles on their website:

-Let's Go Pikachu/Let's Go Eevee
-Sword/Shield
-Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl
-Legends: Arceus
-Scarlet/Violet

Also if these are all included, That means the Switch is now tied with the original DS for most mainline titles(9 when you include paired versions), and I doubt these newly announced games will be the last titles for the system.

I guess I should've clarified. I didn't want to include the remakes because those were more about creative liberty than actually pushing the series forward.

I have to say it's real sad that out of all these games, the Let's Go games are the ones that look the best.
 
I like the kitty and the gator, not a fan of the duck, that being said, I will scream bloody murder if any of them has fighting as a secondary. I'm sick to death of fighting/buff starters.
 
Duck probably based on Don Quixote or Columbus so someone made an edit

It could become just general "Mediterranean" with a focus on Spain like how unova had shit all over america despite being based off of New york

Game Freak, slow the fuck down so you can polish up your games, Jesus.
 
My first thought is that all the starters look ugly AF. The grass-type starter looks a little more appealing. I wonder how “open world” it will actually be. Or if they’ll still have gyms or some equivalent. Also, at this point, I’m never expecting polish/refinement from a Pokemon game.

I’m kind of surprised that gen 9 is coming out now, but Gen 8 was 3 years ago. Seems like ever since Gen 5, the generations have always been roughly 3 years. I don’t remember why Gens 3 and 4 both lasted roughly 4 years.

From what I gather, this region looks like it's based off of Spain or maybe the Iberian Peninsula in general (so Portugal as well). Since the national dex controversy, I wonder what Pokemon will be cut or included this gen.

It's just weird since they announced that despite gen 9 being a focus, hissui is getting some webanime focused entirely on itself, so its not like they are dropping gen 8 immediately like they did for other gens when they ended. I think SV has promise but still wish they could slow the fuck down because pumping shit out just results in market oversaturation eventually

I was gonna say, I like the look so far, but they aren't giving us a lot of room to breathe. I used to play the absolute shit out them until a new one was out, just breeding for shinies and having a blast. It's like they have to keep pushing more games out because they know the games only have enough content (even with a few updates) to keep people interested for a few months, max.
 
I mean, compared to yesterday’s nothing burger Digimon video - seriously, I just want a release date for Survive - I’m not too surprised they announced Gen 9. Frankly, I’m more surprised they’re actually making it more akin to Legends. For how much we’ve bitched about this series needing to change, it’s still amazing that they’re actually making changes.

Definitely not giving Pokémon as a series any room to breathe though. I’ll still argue that the New Gens serve more to get new Merch going than actually sell the games at this point - it’s fucking Pokémon, it’ll sell hotcakes no matter how shit the games are.
What the shit said:
Scarlet and Violet look alright. Looks like another SwSh for me with hint of PLA. Just hope the starters don’t look like shit and the pseudo legendary is cool.

My only hope is that the starters don’t turn into blatant Anthro Furbait. I feel like that’s asking too much at this point.

I’m never gonna get my Coliseum or Gale of Darkness remakes, am I?
