Looking forward to new gameplay of another completely mid-ass Pokemon game that looks like it was developed by three people who have only a vague idea how to program.

 

[Robb]

Hopefully they show a competent trailer for Pokemon Legends Z-A. Would be nice to see that they actually learned a thing or two from their most recent releases..

But then again if you know you can sell countless millions of an unpolished turd I guess it might not make sense to hire someone to polish it.

I'm actually kinda looking forward to it, even though I'm not really into pokemon anymore. But I enjoyed Sword/Shield a lot and S/V seemed to have some good ideas, though the execution was just all around terrible so I didn't really bother with that. Sword/Shield had absolute banger music, some great waifusfun characters and was all around just an enjoyable experience. So maybe they could actualy come up with something I might look forward to?

I'm a sucker so if they shadow drop the Gameboy games I'll have to get them..

If they make it easy to play old pkmn games, new ones are in trouble.

Can wait for them to announce another clock and an another pokemon sleep so I can sleep well on their presentation.

Jokes aside, it was about time for them to show progress on the Z project, otherwise people would forgot about its existence.

 

[N0S]

Im done with this shitty franchise

 

[Banjo64]

I’m going to offer an unrealistically optimistic take - we’re going see stand alone releases of the GameBoy to GBA games on the eShop.

We’re also going to see Z-A, which will be as good as Arceus.

We’re also going to see Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness Remastered.



lol.

I'd agree. But they survived making gen 1 & 2 available on 3DS. Unless that was the reason they killed the eShop!

Ready for another Scarlet/Violet quality game from an indie company.

I wonder if ZA will get announced for the Switch 2.

Also I guess this means no Nintendo Direct in Feb.

 

[Illyria]

I recall rumors saying ZA would get no Switch 2 boost. Haven't bought a Pokemon game in 10 years but I'm up for being convinced.

There is no reason for a Pokemon game to be exclusive, taking into the account the shit graphics of Scarlet/Violet.

Crossgen will be a better option, for the money plus install base of the regular NS.

 

[Hudo]

Are Omega Ruby / Alpha Sapphire worthy remakes of Ruby and Sapphire?

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

I don’t recall anymore, but do they usually give this much notice for a Pokémon presents?

Typically, Nintendo directs are no more than 36 to 48 hours notice. But I don’t recall what the usual Pokémon presents timeline is As far as advance warning. But it seems like seven days is a lot of time unless you want a lot of hype and buzz to be built up around it.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

I think it’s great that the lineup for switch this year is still so strong. We just got donkey Kong. Xenoblade X is next month. That’s one of my favorite Wii U games by far. And then Pokémon ZA legends is still this year. But I’m definitely at the point where I’m willing to wait a few months to play any of these games if they’re gonna look and run better on switch 2. I do not need to buy them at lunch. That’s the problem I’m running into.

Yes I meant cross gen, as in a Switch 2 version announced.

So far I don't think any full game has been "officially" announced for Switch 2 (outside of indie titles).

We got some Mario Kart footage but we don't know what the game will be called.

 

[Little Mac]

I’m reaching here … I’m well aware of that … but didn’t Nintendo say they announced the Switch 2 in the middle of January (and have us wait some 76 days for more info from Nintendo ) was so developers could announce and reveal games for the system … Maybe something Switch 2 will be shown …

I doubt it. I don't think any Pokemon game has been cross gen?

The first Switch 2 Pokemon game will likely be Gen X, followed by a B&W remake/sequel
