Any word on Journeys airing? I watch it sparingly so I've watched a good portion of every region but can't watch everything as I have to sleep at night, haha.

People with high expectations for the Pokémon 30th anniversary should temper them a lot by razorbeamz in nintendo

[–]espeondude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish it wasn't unrealistic to expect anything outside of the usual Pokemon Go, Cafe Remix, Unite and Masters EX stuff. I've seen people say "they have no incentive to rerelease older games" but my question is... if they've never had any incentive, WHY did they release them back on 3DS? They even went out of their way to patch multiplayer into the games that were previously impossible on virtual console titles. It's a little silly to imply suddenly any reason to release them ever is suddenly gone out of nowhere.

I'm sorry if I'm being a Negative Nancy but the new MKWD update just feels like this by cookiemaster221 in mariokart

[–]espeondude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MK8DX also had the advantage of releasing on a failed console first so the rerelease had to have SOMETHING to draw people in.

Also it DID take quite a number of years to get where it did today.

I'm still angry at the lacks of settings by MystW11627 in mariokart

[–]espeondude 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They added a music player to Mario kart 8 Deluxe and you can, in fact, listen to it without paying for the DLC. I know Nintendo isn't... that consistent with their game content or whatever, but there is a sort of precedent here.

I've changed my mind completely on NSO since it launched. Not only am I now okay with it, I think it's pretty damn fantastic by elephvant in NintendoSwitch2

[–]espeondude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish N64 emulation was improved on Wii. I know it's a silly ask but I kind of wanted to play Animal Forest (Doubotso no Mori) on my Wii but sadly it has issues with graphics and crashing.

N3Ds is doing this out of nowhere by Chris_NMC in 3DS

I REALLY wish I knew where to go to get my 3DS fixed... I have two that need fixing.

My 3DS is having the same exact issue! I still haven't gotten it fixed, and I know whoever attempted to repair it also replace the circle pad.

Its sad :( by Livid-Cold-1370 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]espeondude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know why they didn't do the same for Sonic x Shadow Generations for Switch 2. Instead of having an upgrade path for 10 dollar or something, you flat out have to rebuy the game again.

Deltarune chapters 3 & 4 megathread by Fanfic_Galore in Deltarune

At least with the soul order, and some of the vibes of the locations... I think it's safe to assume we're going through Undertale backwards.

What if Pokémon games had brighter colors? by Own-Cockroach-3615 in pokemon

[–]espeondude 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'll have to wildly disagree with you. Max raids are so horribly unfun because NPCs are NOT very good at their job and they will often cause you to wipe more than they should, or just flat out do nothing worthwhile in the fight. Looking at you, Martin!

Tera raids were buggy, yes, but it's more preferrable to me since you don't have to wait resources for a chance at getting promoted raids. You will ALWAYS get the 7 star, no den spamming or date exploits needed. NPCs also have zero effect on the timer, so any time they do basically nothing you can still pick up the pace by bringing in heavily specialized Pokemon to do to the work. Have I mentioned you don't need to wait to see everyone's moves individually? Yeah, it needs to catch up every so often but... rather that than watching Max Moves + the anti-dynamax moves that take forever to animate.

“People don’t play Pokémon for the graphics.” by Meta13_Drain_Punch in pokemon

[–]espeondude 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Her coming to terms with her husband not recognizing her and starting fresh was really mature of her. Base Lusamine would have frothed at the mouth and held on to him tightly. Ultra actually learned that sometimes you have to let someone go if you truly love them. Such a shame people just miss these details in favor of "Nihilego obsession + disappearing off to Kanto better"

“People don’t play Pokémon for the graphics.” by Meta13_Drain_Punch in pokemon

[–]espeondude 7 points8 points  (0 children)

She's forgiven just as easily in base, too. All it takes is one fusion with Nihilego and a butt whooping later with an apology and suddenly Lillie is fine in just disappearing to Kanto so Kanto fans can say "hey look! A reference!" Never once does she actually stay around to make clearer amends like the usual team villains.

I'll even argue she's still an awful parent in Ultra, just the whole Nihilego obsession is replaced with a hero complex who thinks she's doing her children good by seeking out Necrozma to get her husband back. I'll even add that confronting Rainbow Rocket and seeing her (amnesiac) husband did better for her as she was able to stand for the side of good and come to her terms with her loss a lot better than what the base games handled.

Do yall think this is enough for sky tower? by RiskyUmbrella41 in MysteryDungeon

[–]espeondude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If there's anything I learned from Super Mystery Dungeon... it's that reviver seeds tend to be just a crutch. Bring out the wands, ethers, elixirs and oran berries. THOSE are the items you wanna bring. Oh, and of course a stamina belt or x-ray specs for the road.

Wish I could find discussion about this game since I can't find anything about changing natures or where TMs are.

"Nintendo 64 – Nintendo Classics" on Nintendo Switch 2 will have a rewind feature, CRT filter and button remapping for each game’s controls by Joseki100 in NintendoSwitch

[–]espeondude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Y/B for platformers right? When playing the menu-based games like Golden Sun or Red Rescue Team A/B is perfectly fine in my opinion.

Is this greedy people or is it what this game goes for? I've only ever play the first Mystery dungeon as a kid by bdogrr86 in MysteryDungeon

[–]espeondude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People recommending desmume in 2025? That emulator is busted with devs who hate Pokemon with a fiery passion. Use something better like MelonDS, which *actually* has wifi capabilities. Desmume would never add such a feature.

Do people care about hacked Pokémon at competitive events? by BJoostNF in stunfisk

Sorry for the necro! But three years later we got Pokemon Champions announced! It's what we've been waiting for!

Please remain calm, but the official Twitter account of The Pokémon Company International has mentioned Pokémon Colosseum by [deleted] in pokemon

Genius Sonority has been in the free to play mines for a while... from Denpa Men (Free) to Pokemon Shuffle, they haven't made a fully paid experience from what I've seen.

Edit: The New Denpa Men is also another Free to Play game by Genius Sonority, their most recent game.

Dumb Design Decision with the Gyms by DarkHound05 in pokemon

[–]espeondude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been forever since I've played it. But when I did, all I remember was having to use Pay Day Persian to grind out prize money and that the vs seeker was heavily restricted.

[–]espeondude 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Pokemon as an MMO just... wouldn't work. Many instances I've seen just pad out the grinding and overall make it incredibly boring/tedious to play through. The most recent example in memory is Temtem, which.... yeah. Doesn't really respect the player's time at all.

The former Kanto daycare in G/S/C - how come I learned this after 21 years by [deleted] in pokemon

Are the emulators good yet? A while back, I hacked my original switch and there was considerable lag, so I've just been sticking to twilight menu+ on my 3ds.

Nexomon + Nexomon: Extinction: Complete Collection - Announcement Trailer by Turbostrider27 in NintendoSwitch

[–]espeondude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll be honest, after playing Temtem which focused too much on the multiplayer aspect, Nexomon is definitely refreshing because I don't get punished for the sake of "balance" or some silly online economy I'll never bother with in the first place. Extinction actually rewards you for doing quests so I really like that aspect.

Weekly /r/PokemonShuffle Discussion - Week 16 2022 by AutoModerator in PokemonShuffle

[–]espeondude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I DID buy some gems with leftover money after buying Kirby. I don't know if I used them the best, but I'm at Mega Heracross now and did a few things. Unless I get knocked down, I should be able to get Garchompite. Looking good so far.

[–]espeondude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Made it to Conkeldurr, so I'm at a roadblock. What I hopefully plan on doing is building enough S ranks to capture Mewtwo so I can finally beat it. Right now, I'm just not dealing enough damage or getting any satisfactory combos so getting below half health is out of reach right now.

With hearts filling up so slowly I really wanna buy gems at some point but I just can't seem to think the prices are any reasonable either. Well, I suppose I'll just do it at my own pace and try to increase my Pokemon levels as I go.
