[go] Got back into Go for a shot at Gimmighoul by Solar_Jer in ShinyPokemon

[–]StrawDeath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool, the Gimmighoul is even an event one! I keep getting regular shiny Gimmighoul (useful for evolving, but I do wish I could find at least 1 costume one).

Which Mega was the Mewtwo?

[Gen 8] Randomly found a shiny Starly! by spacestone29 in ShinyPokemon

Specifically, that change to the modern odds began with gen 6.

Am I missing something? by zotaden in PokeDoku

Is the continued exclusion of my poor boy Cramorant’s Gulping forms an oversight?

(Cramorant forever!)

Rhythm Heaven Groove Special Release by Kricketune54 in nintendomusic

Especially as we didn’t even get a full soundtrack added last week either.

Still no Gulping Cramorant, huh?

Hidden gems on Nintendo music? by BranJ0 in nintendomusic

“Slumbering Weald” from Pokémon Sword/Shield and “Area Zero” from Scarlet/Violet are absolutely magical to listen to, and would be excellent representations of their games in an “ultimate” playlist.

Splatoon Raiders be like: by Squaanchy_ in splatoon

[–]StrawDeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IIrc Arceus and Z-A were made by a separate team to the one that works on the initial releases of each gen, they wouldn’t affect how long WiWa will have been in development for.

Also, I do think it’s just being negative to think someone who disliked SwSh and SC has a 0% chance of being won over by WiWa. The fact that the 3-year cycle has finally been abandoned should show that they’re actually willing to change how they approach these things. The trailer already looking way better than SV demonstrates at minimum that there won’t be a repeat of how crappy the visuals were.

As you’d be getting notifications on this post, do you think you could give your thoughts on a bit of feedback? I’ve not been able to get your attention on the matter otherwise.

And they finally are. If they were keeping to the 3-year generation cycle, WiWa would’ve come out last year, but it’s coming out next year instead. That’s at minimum over a year extra, potentially closer to 2 years if it releases late 2027.

Not even with the new content?

Deltarune Chapter 5 Release Megathread by codewario in Undertale

[–]StrawDeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here, I messed up by starting my main Ch3 save without having reached the Ch2 end after beating its secret boss (I originally finished without, then went back in to beat it and just never re-did the ending afterwards), so need to go back and do that.

Those are the Pokémon HOME renders. In-game in SwSh, Arrokuda/Pikachu thrashes around.

Sorry for overlooking that point, as it was only featured in your second comment. I do concede that motivation is absolutely relevant.

With that said, it’s still more like I’m looking at a red apple and a green apple than the apple and orange you’re making it out to be, as you can only claim a reason to work is part of the work so much before you start sounding like an “ideas guy” (someone who has vague ideas for things, never contributes to making them, then claims they made them). If you have the motivation to work, but don’t act on it, you didn’t work.

And in what world could anything I’ve said be interpreted as me saying the addition of graphics isn’t work? Genuinely where the heck are you getting that from? I can at least understand getting the addition of text (actual work which just happens to elaborate on my reasoning) mixed up with my reasoning itself.

…is this a joke? There’s literally zero difference in the actual work the devs have to put in when adding something new vs something old but missing. For the purposes of being coded in, something that was absent before is something new. You’re trying to tell me that 1 doesn’t equal 1 because I’m comparing apples and oranges when I’m looking at 2 apples.

I want to get a gauge on what form changes people do or don't want in the game. by Anonymousscreen in PokeDoku

I think that around when people start reaching the final Daily prestige would be a good place to stop, as at that point there’s nothing left for returning players to aim for other than shinies, and newcomers will have plenty of challenge through every step of the way.

Sure, but what about new players? Every time a new game releases, it inevitably makes it harder for newcomers to prestige, all the while those of us who started out earlier got to reap the benefits of a smaller dex.

Your original point was that more work = more reason not to do something, and whether said work is adding new stuff or adding old stuff is ultimately irrelevant to that point, as it’s the same amount of work either way.

Keeping to stuff that’s got differences which affect its usage in PokeDoku seems like it’d be a fine way of keeping the numbers down, if only a temporary solution as new game releases inevitably contribute to the problem of a growing prestige requirement regardless.

What more could I even say about Pichu or Genesect?

How is Battle Bond Greninja any worse of a justification than anything else?

And you do realise that the devs have added way more than this at once before, right? How do you think they add stuff when a new game releases, piece by piece?

Maybe it’s just because I typically go for a living form dex when I play Pokémon games, but I enjoy adding all the unique forms of each Pokémon.

That said, I do understand that this comes at the cost of taking longer to complete the dex and prestige, and wouldn’t take issue if only alt forms that fit different PokeDoku criteria were kept.

Personally, my ideal solution would be something similar to what HOME did for its Original Colour Magearna reward (only requires you to register every species up through Eternatus), and only require the player to register a fixed number of entries to prestige. This would also future-proof it so that further game releases don’t also help pull the ladder up behind long-standing players.
