    The double edged sword of being a fan of Kalos' potential is that on one hand we could get everything XY didn't have about character arcs and such but on the other hand we could be waiting for a year of slop.

      I have the same sentiment. I have lost all good will and faith in Game Freak. I will be more annoyed that it will sell better than the thousands of other indie and big name games of the year it comes out, be undercooked, and crazy kids trying to aggressively defend what is a mediocre at best mess.
      If it is somehow more glitchy, bugged and underdeveloped than Scarlet and Violet, I will be laughing like the Joker from Batman.

    I just wanna say something. When it’s Pokemon’s 25th anniversary, they have a 5 minute long gooning session over their past self only to announce LoL. Meanwhile Mario gives a “Hey it’s our 35th anniversary. Anyways here’s Mario themed stuff”. The contrast between those two directs will always be hilarious to me.

      Same here...just...they need to change things. The team is overworked to the max. If fans can make stories with more guts than they do, because "ITS A CHILDRENS SERIES!", (and when they do try to make it serious they (Game Freak) bungle it), then they don't really seem to care all that much about the universe they have created...I think it's time to hand off pokemon to a new crew completely, and dismantle game freak to being a support studio. Time to make pokemon great again.

    Honestly I was kind of relieved with the lack of announcements, the biggest problem with Game Freak has been their need for a yearly new main series release.
    I’m down to have a slow year if it means higher quality titles in the future.

    Another baffling thing about PLZ-A is that the entire game is apparently going to take place within the confines of Lumiose City.
    My question is, how is that going to work in a Pokemon game? Sure, there are other games that entirely take place with a town/city, but how do you pull that off in Pokemon? Sure they might make Lumiose City an acual gigantic city that contains parks where Pokemon gather, but how are you going to fit 400 different species in a confined space a la Noah's Arc?

    @friendlyotaku9525 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    The CGI in the teaser is meant to represent a blueprint albeit in 3D, since the concept revolves around an urban redevelopment plan. I believe it'll be set in a more recent time than Legends Arceus was but still in the past since the game seems to be inspired by the real life Paris renovation that happened in the mid 1800s so I expect it'll be set during that time period and we'll be turning Lumiose City into the city that we know today. And what the blueprint represents in the teaser is what Lumiose WILL become but when the game starts it won't be that yet.

    Not very hyped by it, but at least it sounds interesting.

    It looks very experimental tho, since it only focuses on 1 city.
    The renovation project is something I'm waiting gameplay on.
    Yeah, I'm honestly scared that the reason they essentially said and shown nothing is because they had nothing (also a bit concerning that no veteran staff from GF mentioned this present apparently?).
    It's interesting in a "what are they cooking way", not so much because what they've done really is (surprising maybe, but really not worth them fuss, at least show something besides the worst written mechanic returning and a nonsensical game title).

    I find it hilarious how I've spent more time with Pokémon Sleep than I ever will with Modern Pokémon (Gen 8 onwards) because somehow an app solely focused on sleep and just taking care of Pokémon plus a Snorlax has more effort and heart in it than the actual games do.
    When I woke up and saw all the alerts about the present I just skipped through all the stuff I didn't care about (which was basically 90% of it) and then gave a surprised "Oh." when I saw Legends Kalos. But yeah, that and Sleep are the only things I care about, but I don't care about the former enough to where I'm gonna buy it.
    Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised when I hear in 2025 that it's way better than Arceus but I'm not getting my hopes up. Also thank you for another fun video Ludo ^_^

    not a regular watcher but i’ll be honest as a pokemon fan: with how bdsp turned out as remakes, i *really* think we should hold off on wanting black and white remakes with the current state of the mainline games. you can say what you want about hgss and oras (and let’s go) as remakes and as games, but they seemingly set out with a goal to improve and expand on the original games’ story- your opinion may vary on if they succeeded, but i’d rather wait for longer to get remakes like those (or hopefully even better than those) rather than “black and white but it’s 3d and has more pokemon now”.

    It's been annoying because I feel like everyone just forgot the original Pokemon Legends also released the next year, the thing we're missing is a remake this year which was outsourced last time. Unless the game releases later in the year they're really not slowing down at all.
    Okay to be clear, I don't think the lack of extra time matters. Legends Arceus was a fantastic game and Z-A will more than likely be the same, comparing this to SV is ridiculous. At the same time I just think it's dumb to pretend like it's confirmed that the game is getting more time. Currently nothing confirms this and even if it is it could be releasing in early 2025, there just isn't enough info to go off and the underlying logic of most people who are pointing out how we're not getting a game this year is insanely flawed.
