The gallery series towards the later half of the SwSh era were great because they weren’t necessarily chase cards and had art depicting either the Pokemon in their environment or spending time with their trainer. There’s also a lot of full art supporters, but those ones are just sorta there.
I believe the term was "withered technology" but that's not always the case for every console. For the Game Boy and Famicom it worked because it was able to undercut the competition, but the SNES, N64, and the GameCube were technologically superior against their direct competition in most categories; only the Xbox had the GameCube beat. Once you get into the Wii U/Switch/Switch 2 era whatever price advantages Nintendo are aren't worth the inferior technology.
Back when Gen 2 was new -- already about a quarter of a century ago -- I got a Japanese booster pack at a mall in 'Murica. Didn't get anything rare AFAIK, but I didn't care. It was still neat to see what Japanese TCG was like way back then, back when the back of Japanese cards used that different art with that "Pocket Monsters" title in English. And this was back when new pocketmons was huge: going from 151 to 251. Also I think they used photos of clay models for some of the card art, like with Goldeen and Quagsire.
I remember playing TemTem during early access, I did enjoy the game for what it was, but I feel like that tried too hard to make it an mmo instead of a single player adventure.
It's still insane to me that between 2021-2022 there were 3 pokemon games in the span of a single year (BDSP, LA, and SV)
In my opinion, the last truly great pokemon game was ORAS back on the 3DS.......which was released in 2014 (i.e over 10 years ago)
The Kalos curse strikes again. I do think that the last chance for a kalos game to finish what XY started (and do it well) was during the 3ds, when pokemon still looked like it could come back from the initial poor transition (XY was still decent compared to the dumpster fire that was DP, so optimism wasn't unwarranted)
I just like Pokemon.
Unfortunately the current theory is somewhat mundane compared to past ones: most players believe that the introduction of an official LATAM Spanish translation caused a change in the Pokémon file type that makes Z-A transfers a one-way trip.
Missed opportunity to use it to "catch" Pokemon.
Horrifying to realize how long ago that was. To me, the last one I was hyped for was gen 4, though the last truly great mainline entry was Crystal.
There were rumours that e-Reader cards would have been the wa you would get Jirachi an Deoxys. The closes to reality was th Eon Ticket that gave you access to the Latios or Latias not available in your version.
That would've been awesome. I like the e-Reader concept a lot, it's like a cooler Amiibo kinda thing.
Latinxes were a mistake
I hate this with a passion, I'll stick with the original movie thank you.
Really depends on what you're looking for. Unbound gets recommended a lot for having a new story/region and the official mons up to Gen 7 IIRC. You want to larp as a compfag? Radical Red is there.
Because Gamefreak doesn't need to care about your sale. They didn't care that I and a bunch of people like myself didn't buy Sw/Sh because it still sold gangbusters. A lot of twitterfags always say retarded shit like "Um, you're going to buy it anyway???" and they pull out that decade and a half old photo of the Modern Warfare "boycott" as if it's proof you'll cave in, as if any of that is a real response to criticisms of shitty management from GameFreak.
Tinkaton should have had a signature move where she picks up a rock, tosses it into the air and bats it at the opposing Pokemon doing additional damage and grounding them if they're a flying Pokemon or use the ability Levitate. That Dex entry is too descriptive to not include a signature move where she does just that.
