I enjoy the gameplay, but I wouldn't call it tight. If such a simple change as GTI getting rid of your ability to tackle multiple requests in a single dungeon outing turns it into a slog then its gameplay is greater than the sum of its part instead of being really solid.
I think they only showed a logo and a no-gameplay trailer for the DLC because very little work has been done on it. I doubt much of the content has been created yet, just planned out.
I think the implication is Raichu's megas are in the game day 1 but they're locked behind purchasing the DLC.
Nope, the information was already leaked out but the mouse isn't coming until next year along with the other Hyper Luminose City stuff.
It tends to vary from location to location (stores that stop stocking them tend to have major problems with scalpers) and Walmart sells a lot of its TCG stuff online.
It’s basically the latter, the same investorfags and cryptofags that decimated the sneaker market pulled to much and shoe companies decided to go scorched earth on ‘em by pumping out enough shoes to meet demand.
I actually tried to preorder last night & it already sold out. (Nephew asked for more. He's currently deep in the Pokemon TCG collecting hobby - I blame card pack opening TikToks).
I live in Oklahoma - I imagine there was one too many violent methhead fights over Pokemon cards to justify Walmart continuing stocking them.
Yeah, with Pokémon Center drops you really have to pay attention to those stock watcher accounts on Twitter if you want a chance at getting anything.
Unfortunately he's picked a really bad time to collect cards right now, even with sealed products being sold out everywhere some scalper groups have learned the "wonderful" art of price manipulation and are trying to inflate the prices of certain modern cards.
Card opening TikToks are only a small drop in the bucket if we're being honest here, the real culprits (as far as streamers go) are rip-shippers on sites like Whatnot.
A lot of kids don't get into pokemon as a game. They're balls deep in youtube and tiktok investors using pokemon cards. They want to open a box not for the cards to play with but to open something worth a lot of money.
Wait, how bad was Diamond? 'cause I remember playing Platinum as a kid, and being annoyed there was barely any fire type Pokemon in Sinnoh. I probably wasn't the best player/don't think I used any guides, but for a normie who wasn't trading Pokemon over from older games, the best fire type you could find in grass was a freaking Pontya
Lord help me, if there's some sorta Pokemon card collecting to cryptobro pipeline.
Fire types in DP were starter and Ponyta. That's it.Wait, how bad was Diamond? 'cause I remember playing Platinum as a kid, and being annoyed there was barely any fire type Pokemon in Sinnoh.

If I had to crap out some “justifications”…
In DP it was literally just Infernape and Rapidash. If you didn't start with Chimchar then Rapidash was your only Fire option. Platinum added Flareon, Houndoom, and Magmortar. Your best Fire option in Platinum if you didn't start with Chimchar is probably Houndoom. It's low-key really good in in-game playthroughs, but there's barely any games you can catch it in during the main story. You can catch a Houndour in Platinum just before the 4th Gym.Wait, how bad was Diamond?

Diamond kinda almost killed my love for pokemon. I didn't like the starters, it was slow as balls, no fire types (wtf), the lake trio catch rate pissed me off, the fuckin honey bullshit, and I couldn't find a croagunk in the swamp. I just wanted a croagunk and a drifloon, and while drifloon was easy enough to get, fuckin croagunk always evaded me.Wait, how bad was Diamond?

Yeah, I remember finding it to be super slow. Also, I remember a lot of the game plot felt locked behind special events? Like, without an Action Replay to hack in special items, so much of the plot/new features were just missing.
Technically it was, someone in Hearthome City gives you an Eevee... in the post-game. Platinum just had her give you the Eevee first time you're there, making all the Eeveelutions available during the story.
I kind of like it, it works for the oldie and relaxed feel the Sinnoh games are going for imo. I think it also feels much slower because all the tiles are smaller on the screen too, so to traverse an environment you're traveling more distance. Even the grass patches are noticeably bigger.
