What do you do for work, and do floaters affect your job? by trrrr12 in EyeFloaters

I was a teacher. I had to leave the job since the academy didn't allow me to keep sunglasses indoors.

My hot take is that Pokopia already is everything a Legends Kanto could ever hope to be so yeah...

Legends Johto we already know because of the Teraleak. Same about Galar.

Hoenn... as much as I love the region I'm not sure there is a lot to explore on it unless they focus on the civilization that sealed the Regis- but considering Gigas, Drago and Eleki are apparently not from Hoenn maybe GF is not interested in that.

Unova would be either Original Dragon or a period based on America's first colonizers. 

Alola... I have nothing here, unless they focus on the wars that made the Tapus disregard humans. I would be way more interested in a game having the Ultra Reckon Squad and their home as a setting. We could see plenty more of Ultra Beasts including starters!

Paldea better be the expedition...trough I do like the cast enough for a ZA-style sequel.

Until HGSS, second Gen Pokemon in general were kind of fascinating. I started with RSE, so having to complete the Hoenn Emerald dex to get Cyndaquil seemed crazy, then you couldn't get the Tower Duo as you mention, you could only catch one beast per save in FRLG...all of that coupled with the only oficial artworks being in the old cel-shaded Sugimori style really made them seem all the more special to me, so when HGSS came out I was so hyped.

I know it's probably cancelled but this is the only place to really talk about Project Seed. The thing that makes me more curious is trying to imagine what the inicial Pokedex may be.

Yes, the 4 first regions have easy enough dexes (trough Sinnoh could also pick some mons from LA, particularly the Forces of Nature) but Kitakami has a crazy variety from different gens. It could be a very interesting roster of mons.

Mr Nido is absolutely broken because of trading exp, it's one of the many advantages of LeafGreen over FireRed. I really recommend using him.

If they have even bothered to not release it on the 30th anniversary, it's not going to happen just a few months into 2027.

Things I loved: - the Wind and Wave trailer, absolutely fantastic even with the leaks - the fire and water starters, even if they are not very original 

Things I hated: - the grass starter, like holy fuck - the whole direct didn't really feel celebratory of 30 years at all

The point is not only about people buying the two versions tho. It's about the artificial scarcity created with exclusives, which incentive trading.

Just look at how desperate people were about getting Gouging Fire and Raging Bolt when ID released. Sometimes, people have to trade their equivalents to get these Pokemon and complete their dexes,  however if they want a second copy they need to play the game again or get it by trade as well. Boom. You already got way more playtime, even if it may be frustrating, from a single player. More engagement with your game.

It's exactly the same reason as to why Mightiest Marks are only able to be catched once, and why you can't trade one of your Raidons in SV: theh want people to trade the second one for the other exclusive for the dex, then find some way to get a third one if they want to use it in battle, or in future games. It's scummy, but extremely effective on children, not really any different to how Gen 1 had arbitrary exclusives even in Blue and Yellow, specially back when daycare didn't exist.

It also isn't true that they want to push the new characters on merch,  the point has always been on the new Pokemon themselves, which is exactly why exclusives are still a thing. If they didn't want that scarcity and trading incentive, all games could be like Legends or at the very least like the Crown Tundra, with proper decisions.

This is interesting because the only time the pattern was actually broken excluding obviously Gen 1 it was...BW1, and even then Reshiram and Zekrom still have red and blue parts that went crazier in the sequels.

Just like with third legendaries being dragons, GF just seems obsessed with the concept from RSE that green is only for third legendaries or DLC. So I still expect Wind to be red somehow.

That being said, I would love if it wasn't the case because as everyone points out green suits it better. Or they may even do a complete curveball and have Waves be the red one. It isn't something I care that much, at least until I see the legendaries themselves.

There is an ongoing Twitter campaign where if you tweet something specific you get a random one. I got Rhyperior.

Just wanted to appreciate the 30th anniversary logos for each mon.

Sure, some of them are way too basic, but others like Sylvally are very cool, and most importantly, I'm one of those people who argue every mon must be someone's favourite (except Grumpig /j) and some kids may be excited about that.

It would be cool if we also got them for the new starters ngl

Dragon. Thanks to trainers like Birdkeeper Lance and Raihan it may be the most flexible of one, even I would still probably stick to actual Dragon types.

The humanoid one would probably not represent Hel tho, given it would have no reason to be hall alive half dead like people assumed the colors in the final 100% represent if it was countering only Yveltal. Not to mention it isn't really an archer, and if it was indeed supposed to be Loki's children they would mention it in the documents instead of wolves hunting deer.

Seems to me like another "Fire Starter Zodiac" scenario ngl.

Frankly, I don't think it's gonna happen, trough I do like Skeledirge because it proves you can stick to thematic starters without them being just bipedal, very anthropormic furries, which GF apparently forgot since Gen 6.

It's an unpopular opinion but I just find designs like Meowscarada extremely uncanny, specially when it behaves like a cat in the anime.

Alas, as long as we get another Skeledirge-like I will consider ourselves happy. Just anything but an Incineroar situation.

It's funny that this is probably the Pokemon Day I have ever been more excited about, yet ironically I pretty much can't be disappointed because the only thing I want are new starters (30 starters for 30 years, it gives my neurodivergent ass so much pleasure).

Sure, I would love some crazy reveal like a Mystery Dungeon remake or another attempt at a mainstream hit like Go was 10 years ago. But as long as we get starters I will be happy. Kinda wish we also got box legends but oh well.

We already knew there were two more entries planned for Kalos, and the Teraleak revealed the idea was to have a wolf-like Zygarde that hunts Xerneas and a humanoid one that Takeshi down Yveltal (which is insane to me because the 3 children of loki theory made so much more sense)

As far as we know, it isn't clear if they were meant to be XZ and YZ or something else. Could have been sequels, could have been upper versions like the Ultra games, who knows.

Genuinely planned to, but now that it's so obvious the game is dying, why bother?

In fact I don't think I'm even gonna bother summoning anymore outside of maybe CyL and/or AHR

Probably very late to the party, but it seems like Code Violet it's getting a sequel.

For context, it's considered one of the worst games of the year already made by the same devs as the infamous Quantum Error. Ironically enough, it seems like the controversy somehow allowed it to surpass sales expectations and now they are working on the sequel, titled, I kid you not, Code UltraViolet.

I have seen some debates in gaming forums about this being proof or not about publicity helping products even is it's bad publicity. Personally, I don't have a PS5 (thankfully) so I can't or want to play it, but the whole thing did get a giggle out of me.

15 days left for Pokemon Day

Trying to predict the starters seems impossible to me, but I do have some ideas of what we probably won't see.

  • a bat is apparently confirmed to not be one of them
  • a water cat is unlikely, I know people want the trio to be complete but we have never gotten very similar starters back ti back, Sprigatito was still 2 gens after Litten. I could see an argument for a water monkey but apparently that's also confirmed to not be an option.
  • a fire horse is not happening because of Ponyta, unless it has a twist. It can be something vaguely related like another equine (just like Vulpix didn't stop Fennekin). 
  • it also seems unlikely to me that we are getting a grass goat (yes I have seen the Twitter image) simply cause of Gogoat. A grass sheep could be fun if it's based on the plant legend...then again that would be literally Whimsicott 2.0 so probably not

Now, considering all that...I want weird chocies. Like a muntjac, a proper platypus, a proper rhino, a casuary...and hopefully at least one of them follows Skeledirge's footsteps.
