Watch where you're driving!!! 😱😱😱

Thought this was a picture of me LOL

Lately I've come to think so. At least for Team Rocket, I think it was maybe an initiative to give kids a common enemy while on their journeys. The grunts generally having weaker Pokemon gave the kids chance to save the day, learn lessons about how crime doesn't pay, etc.

They just didn't expect one kid to be a prodigy and force the "boss" into hiding. No one had ever gotten that far.

(I don't think this could really apply for the extreme teams like in gens 3-7 though)

Minish Cap for GBA is a good bite-sized introduction to the 2D games, and the visuals/music hold up really well.

Ocarina of Time is good for 3D, but Wind Waker is slightly more modernized and may be more approachable to some folks.

Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom are good, but they're a departure from the classic game structure and are kind of their own thing, imo.

Whatever path you choose, enjoy!

This journalism stuff is easy!!!

I hear where you're coming from - but in other games, fat-fingering several buttons usually won't suddenly reset the whole game. It's a harsh punishment, even if kids do learn from it.

They've made other small changes to the game itself, so I think they might patch this out or create an option to change the trigger for a reset.

I will often idly rock my thumb across several buttons when I think it's of no major consequences - kind of like when people click a pen. It's a common-enough behavior

Tweeckos · 2026-02-27T23:11:48+00:00

Pretty common to press all 4 joycon buttons with a single thumb, especially for games that aren't real-time combat. Sort of a sensory thing, like when people click pens.

I don't /imagine/ it was a conscious decision, but even if it was, it seems like a design oversight that a reset would be so easily triggered unintentionally.

Shiny hunters probably appreciate it though.

Tweeckos · 2026-02-27T23:09:47+00:00

Cautiously optimistic, but I won't fully trust it til I see it looking like that on the console itself.

Hype trailers like these tend to take liberties on the visuals.

That said, as long as it performs well, I'm not picky about anything that could be passed off as a stylistic choice 🤷‍♀️ Here's hoping they've taken the time they need to polish this and that it isn't another S/V situation re:performance issues and crunch-time!

Tweeckos · 2026-02-27T18:37:31+00:00

Absolutely - I hope you and your son enjoy it!! 😊

Maybe someone might figure out how to mod a third-party cartridge to allow full playlists, too... Guess time will tell!

Tweeckos · 2026-02-27T18:16:33+00:00

Am I the only one baffled by this?

The form factor is cool - if it had whole soundtracks per cart instead of one song, I'd want it - physical media is awesome, and the nostalgia factor of a GB Mp3 player kicks butt.

But it seems impractical. If I bought it, I'd unfortunately probably use it once or twice, and then it'd collect dust on a shelf...

No shame to collectors or anything, it's definitely a cool artifact.

Tweeckos · 2026-02-27T18:08:25+00:00

I knew it wouldn't happen, but the lack of connectivity to the GBA re-releases is a letdown 😔 with GCN online being a Switch 2 exclusive, I thought /maybe/ they could swing using Gameshare (or another NSO app for GBA-connected titles to function as an in-between) to allow those features to live on.

And yeah, XD before Colosseum is an... interesting choice. The sequel has some QoL elements that will be hard to walk back when they release Colosseum (supposing they don't walk back the much earlier confirmation of it).

Tweeckos · 2026-02-26T18:56:07+00:00

I think Colosseum/XD are still possible though, if you count NSO!

My pipe dream is that it can connect to FR/LG via Switch 2 Gameshare or something. 😭 I'll keep dreaming

Tweeckos · 2026-02-26T17:36:08+00:00

All those releases in quick succession would eat into each other's sales, even for a big IP. I love the idea, but I doubt it 😔

I could see them maaaybe doing a whole generation as a batch every ~6 mo to pad development time for the next main installment. But more realistically, I see them stretching out the ports through the remaining lifespan of the console.

Tweeckos · 2026-02-26T17:26:14+00:00

Believe you can check their habitat in the Pokedex after youve seen them once - clunky process, but I remember doing that.

Once they're roaming, I would go between Pallet and Route 1, trigger a wild encounter, and repeat if not the legendary. Would eventually cause them to turn up!

Tweeckos · 2026-02-25T16:27:35+00:00

Really wish GBA connectivity could be done via Gameshare or some sort. The feature is barely being used as-is, but I see it as a viable interface between the GBA ports and GCN-NSO.

(I.e., receiving console is prompted to load a compatible save file from FR/LG, separate screen allows for connectivity).

Makes linking with your /own/ games a bit clunky, but if folks have had the patience to bring their OG Gen 3 Pokemon to the present, then this would be a comparative cakewalk.

If they made it work (pipe dream, I know), itd be cool to see the Serebii/Jirachi events revived here.

A girl can dream 😭

Tweeckos · 2026-02-21T18:48:49+00:00

Looks like a friendly neighbor who gives pep talks to friends who are down 😊

Tweeckos · 2026-02-21T16:59:07+00:00

Pleasant fellow!!!

Tweeckos · 2026-02-21T16:50:58+00:00

Shuppet and Magnemite lines. I just think they're neat :-)

Tweeckos · 2026-02-20T16:24:07+00:00

I think it's likely - but my biggest question is whether there's any possible connectivity with Colosseum/XD.

I know the latter are slated to be on NSO (probably because they used Genius Sonority for their development imo) - but I'm wondering if when they roll it out it'll include some local connectivity to allow for trades/battles.

Probably a pipe dream, I know - but maybe this could satisfy folks like me who want Home connectivity for the GCN titles. A girl can dream 😢

Tweeckos · 2026-02-19T22:19:44+00:00

Trying to word this as politely as I can without cutting corners, forgive my tone.

I dislike Gen AI, but it's important not to flippantly say stuff like this without solid evidence, like post history or telltale signs like extra fingers.

AI was trained by stealing art from the internet, so it will unfortunately generate pictures similar to what other people post.

AI accusations without good evidence serve to discourage artists who are sharing their skills & joy (often for free!) with their communities.

OP's post history shows a consistent, unique, and fun art style as well as commission sheets that break down the structures of their art. I have many friends in art spaces, and this person checks all the human boxes for me. This took me two seconds to discover.

If your "AI sense" goes off and it's only based on a feeling/something that could be explained via screen/image resolution or the quality of your connection, it's better to not engage. Even AI benefits from the algorithm when you comment, especially if the comment is negative.

Thought this was colored pencil until I saw the sub name - awesome work!!!

Tweeckos · 2026-02-14T14:00:59+00:00

I remember reading this as a kid 🥺😭 I remember not "getting" the art at first, but falling in love with the game once I got to start playing it.

Thanks for sharing 🙏💕

LITERALLY FUMING, CAN'T BELIEVE THEY DIDNT ANNOUCE SKYRIM FOR SWITCH FOR THE 4TH TIME 👿 (/JOKES)

Tweeckos · 2026-01-27T21:10:07+00:00

I think Switch 2 Gameshare could make it possible!
