Actually a good video. Sure it's mostly mobile games which is what Pokemon is doing now along with an app for kids, but hey, a new Pokemon Snap game we've been asking for.

NewPokemon Snap has caught my eye. I'm not interested in a photography simulator, but graphically it's where pokemon's debut on the Switch ought to be if it came from a somewhat competent developer.

As for the Isle of Armor, dataminers have been quick to work with the new DLC, and have provided a list of all new 'mons, which are available to everybody in the new update, regardless of whether or not you bought the DLC:

They also provide a separate file for pokemon still not available in the game:

So a bit of maths for anybody interested. Base SwSh had 400 / 890 pokemon available. This DLC adds 140.
Added by gen: Gen 1 +42 | Gen 2 +14 | Gen 3 +7 | Gen 4 +10 | Gen 5 +29 | Gen 6 +9 | Gen 7 +24. Then plus 5 additional gen 8=140
#Still missing: Gen 1 -56 | Gen 2 -53| Gen 3 -87| Gen 4 +-59| Gen 5 -41| Gen 6 -30| Gen 7 -25. Total missing: 353
What I want to know is if the next DLC adds well over 100 like this one did, why not just do the final push and complete the dex? I get the real reason is to set the precedent going forward, but they'd be so close and it'd be such a PR win it's crazy.

That sounds like 3 dlc packs to me, maybe 4 if they stretch it out.

Just started the Isle of Armor. First really notable reaction: I got on the water and Sharpedo started AGGRESSIVELY coming at me.
 
New Pokémon Snap? The timing is suspicious because of all the bullshit we had to go through with SwSh and this is their "We're sorry, please come back to us" compromise, I bet.

And it's fucking working, goddamnit. This should've happened when the Wii U was relevant, but better late than never I guess. Least it looks like we'll have more than 63 Pokémon to take pictures of. Too bad it won't be Todd Snap we'll be playing as, though, it's just some douche wearing his cap backwards. But who even remembers that guy, anyway? Ha! Ha ha...
 
A bigger and better Pokemon Snap sequel designed by a competent company that's not GF. Now this is the best news I've seen in a long time. And all pokeymanz are the right size to boot. Pokemon Snap was a fucking joy so I hope this one has a lot of relaxing ambience too with even more and bigger environments, along with a soundtrack that's as good as the original or has some hd remixes from it.

I just hope this means we are going back to "space out mainline gens so with spin offs so we don't need a big JRPG every year for a console release"
also does anyone else find it weird that they were showing megas in Go after dropping it in gens 7 and 8? really activates my almonds on whats gonna happen with the past gimmicks

The original Snap wasn't made by GameFreak, either, it was HAL Laboratory, Pax Softnica, and some "Jack and Beans". So is HAL Laboratory still involved, or just Bandai-Namco?

Hal is listed in the copy rights I think, lemmie check the trailer, they are listed under copyright but not as anything else so they might just be overseeing it

I think technology has improved enough to accommodate for accents and dialects to be able to pull it off, but then I remember the microphone for Mario Party 7 being sensitive but at the same time not pulling off commands right. Then again, that was still 15 years ago...

I dunno, I think a Hey You, Pikachu! sequel would be cute, but we already have Let's Go where you interact with your Pikachu/Eevee, so kinda redundant.

Personally, I want another Pokémon Puzzle League game, but it'll just make me sad because they'd have to use the current voice-actors for it and I dunno, Pokémon Puzzle League was rather ambitious for its time and was unique in that it was never released in Japan. Still holds up nicely to this day even though the 3D platform has always lagged.
 
Well, at least Porygon-Z and Palossand are back, there's my hollow victory...

Also lmao at Namco blowing GF out of the water in sheer development prowess with one fell swoop. Bravo.

And I do mean literally blowing out of the water. Look at this shit.

I really can't call anything about that game "ambitious". That's because, like Tetris Attack for the SNES, it was merely a Panel de Pon game(In this case Panel de Pon 64) with all of the sprites and music changed from the original fairy characters to a different Nintendo property.

Puzzle League Challenge for the Gameboy Color, however, was always a Pokemon game. It was known in Japan as Pokemon Panel de Pon, That is why it is based on the videogames(specifically Gold and Silver) instead of the anime, and why there are more Pokemon-themed mechanics, and over all higher production quality(for the system it is on).

If there WAS another Puzzle League game, I imagine it would be based on the games again rather than the anime, even if it was an asset edit of a main-line Panel de Pon game like the N64 entry rather than a completely original game like the GBC one.

Yet to verify it myself, but I've heard from friends that you can unlock Pokemon following you in the isle of Armor.

I've also taken a look at the new moves. Not... all of them are great, but some do have hilarious implications.

Like Poltergeist, which has a ghost possess the opponent's held item to attack, fails if there is none. Imagining someone's choice scarf strangling them to death is darkly hilarious.

There's also Meteor Beam. It's a rock type, special, 2 turn charging attack that boosts Special Attack the first turn, and attacks the second. It's a step above solarbeam, at least, but it's CRIMINAL that they don't have Minior in the roster when this move is a thing. It fits them PERFECTLY.
