Zander 14,910 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I guess with each new Pokemon series they have to have some sort of gimmick in order to sell it (even though I think they don’t need to adopt this approach by now), and so it can give the anime series something to. I’d be happy with just updating new mega evolutions of older Pokemon and new forms based on regions. I’ll buy the game but it’s annoying to see what is basically upscaled 3DS graphics on a console that can handle so much more. I know it won’t change anytime soon as long as GF take the reigns.

Haroon 49,685 Posted July 10, 2019 Author Share Posted July 10, 2019 I'm so excited for the next few months I'm gonna be finishing Ultra Moon over the next week or so and then over the next few months playing it now and then to train up Pokemon with competitive builds. I want to eventually have a bank of competitively viable Pokemon to battle online in SwSh or future games, I already have a bunch in X but I took a very long break clearly From Friday I'll be playing Hollow Knight so I'll see how long that lasts me, I'm quite a completionist though so I'll be milking it for all its worth and I've seen online how it's quite a big game actually so I'll have my work cut out for me On 7/8/2019 at 10:20 PM, Zander said: I guess with each new Pokemon series they have to have some sort of gimmick in order to sell it (even though I think they don’t need to adopt this approach by now), and so it can give the anime series something to.

There are so many other things that could be improved though and really cement each game as a big improvement. Maybe I'm obsessed but graphics is one, they could actually use the Switch's hardware to make a leap in the presentation of the Pokemon games and people would rush to the stores to get it and it would be such a milestone Kinda how XY made their mark because of their presentation, it shook up the entire thing in the most positive way. And yeah agreed, I know I'm getting the game because I like the adventures overall and the competitive battling system but there's always that negative feeling inside me knowing that there's so much untapped potential and so much is being held back On 6/30/2019 at 7:29 AM, River said: There was a mess with the cartridge, they didn't fill it with all the game so people required to download some extra 2gb, so they postponed all the future shipments and the Europe release to fix that and to give the full game on the cartridge without any additional download.. Thank you for this Sorry I'd forgotten to say it at the time Only a few days left now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zander 14,910 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Interesting they released a lite version but more interested to see how it sells - stats wise it’s a very basic version of the switch but at a good price point. It’s basically the new 3DS and towards that demographic. Why call it a Switch when it refers to how you can switch up how you play.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I must say, the introduction of Mega's did lead to a lot of people using the same Pokémon (Kangaskhan during XY for example) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haroon 49,685 Posted July 11, 2019 Author Share Posted July 11, 2019 I mean it was rumoured or we’d made guesses at an only handheld version for ages so I wasn’t shocked or surprised It’s a nice option for people who have a schedule or lifestyle that makes them need handheld more while offering it at a cheaper price. Not a fan of the design though, it actually looks cheap I mean I know it’s meant to be a cheaper version anyway, but it just looks lacklustre to me Personally it’s not for me, I mostly play mine in docked mode. I want a Switch Pro though, give me those better graphics and higher speeds But still I’m fine with what I have anyway Another nail in the coffin for the 2DS(XL) though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea of the switch lite just seems underwhelming to me. eh. OH HEY, some guy I started talking to online the other day bought a $70 credit for the nintendo eshop. What should I get?

No but loads of fans want one It'd be the normal Switch we have but just juiced up (for me), so slightly better graphics (1080p locked) and constant frame rates or better frame rates anyway Ooooh nice Which types of games are you into? There's so much to get and play Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haroon 49,685 Posted July 11, 2019 Author Share Posted July 11, 2019 Okay so they've revealed the first special edition of the Nintendo Switch Lite, it's for Pokemon Sword+Shield It actually looks nice, I'd want joycons available in that colour scheme Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katamari Damacy is a ton of fun but I'd suggest checking the demo out before buying. The switch pro is purely speculation (highly likely soon tm tho) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haroon 49,685 Posted July 11, 2019 Author Share Posted July 11, 2019 @Bear Now that you've graduated, treat yourself with a Switch and join the family They've released a new version of the Switch which is purely handheld as well - you have a current Nintendo handheld so maybe it's time to upgrade, or if you're not a home console gamer Don't know if that'll entice you more or not, the screen is 0.7" smaller but it's cheaper and has a longer battery life than the normal Switch: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guarantee I'd never plug it into a second screen so this seems like a good idea. Do you reckon it would be harder to play stuff without being able to remove the joystick? like do you guys play it often as a handheld/is it harder than removing the joysticks as a controller?

I play mine almost exclusively handheld except when I'm playing co-op with my brother. I can't think of a game besides ones that rely on co-op play (like 1-2 Switch) that make you detach your joy cons, so get a Switch Lite and join our Nintencult Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
