Are you interpreting that as being multiple regions or something? It's gonna be basically the same as RSE, one region with lots of water in the middle.

There are a bunch of morons who thought the one island you saw in the trailer was the whole game.

I have no idea why, considering the starting town alone took up a 3rd of the island

>>338171873
Fire is the most edgy.
>>
>>338171873
Because they're usually the strongest pick
>>
>>338171873
because wild fire pokemons are rare and late games, and fire is a really good offensive type early game when everybody has insects and grass type

Fire types are usually among the rarest types you have access to in a region

>>338171873
strong early pick, and a lote of the time a regons fire type options are lackluster. while grass and water always have something either nifty+usefull or super strong.

Ah. Well I guess that seems logical then. I pick based on looks since I don't play PvP and Pokemon games aren't terribly difficult.

>>338171526
X and Y made good changes to the core gameplay as well as made breeding so much easier.

Character customization was also a plus.

The worst parts about X and Y is framerate drops in battle and lack of post-game single player content.

I thought the first half of X/Y was really good. It was pretty slow paced, but still really entertaining and had a lot of Pokemon variety. It's a shame that after the first few gyms it went back to being

B/W had a story beyond "becum champion" and gym leaders that actually did something.

Those are all popular JRPG tropes though. Slime monsters are so common to the genre that it would be weird if pokemon didn't have a pile of slime with eyes. Voltorb is a chest monster. Robotic/cyborg enemies are also pretty common. Those gen 1 inanimate pokemon were just adapting the pokemon concept to a video game genre

There's no fucking excuse to have a keychain with eyes though.

The main kicker against that analogy is that Pokemon graphics barely change over time. Whereas the difference between even Doom 2,3 and the remake is drastic by comparison.
If 6 different games with Doom 1 graphics were released over a span of over a decade, that would not go down well. But it does when it's Pokemon?

Mimics are a trope of RPGs, but saying "robot monster" is painfully generic. If anything the "robot monster" is golurk, and he doesn't show up until gen 5. Slime is super generic too.

I think the problem with Game Freak is that they've tied themselves too hard to the past games.

Removing HMs now is impossible because if you battle or trade with somebody that uses a previous generation, what are you supposed to do?

Pokemon would benefit design-wise greatly if the just trreated each game duo as its own installment, instead of trying to get everything working under the same conditions. This just leads to stale garbage. They already had the balls to cut off the first generation before, they should just do it again.
>>338175596
Who gives a fuck about the graphics on a handheld game you stupid, stupid child?

I couldn't give less of a fuck about the graphical change in Doom. You still do the exact same shit like before. That was your entire argument. It's not like Pokemon is still Monochrome either and just stayed that way until now, there were graphical changes over the generations as well.

Or maybe someone on the design team noticed a similarity between eggs/seeds/nuts/etc. and designed exeggcute with facets of both, kind of like how watchhog is a meerkat, but has many rodent characteristics despite meerkats not being rodents?

No, it's a metallic fairy that's also a lock, keychain and key at the same time. It collects keys and blocks enemies/opens portals with them. Pretty funny thingy.

When did they cut off prior games? Only time I can think of is due to not being able to transfer from 2nd to 3rd gen, because I think you can find a way to trade up from there.

because it's stupid for a living object to look like a literal shoe. But it makes sense if a ghost were to inhabit a shoe.

Can you not read? I'm not saying exeggcute has no similarities to eggs, the designers will very commonly take inspriation from two different things, such as doduo looking like an ostrich and a kiwi, and then retards will argue that it's only one or the other when neither are right. Obviously exeggcute takes inspriatioin from eggs from a design standpoint, but in a biological sense, they are seeds, even pokedex entries say so

Several pokedex entries state that klefki was mistaken as eggs. Makes sense that's what their species would be called then.

I'm not the same guy.

Voltorb and Electode are round balls who coincidentally look like the basic design of a Pokeball. They've adapted and learned to mimic Pokeballs

Electrode is one of the fastest
Pokemon, yet it hunts by staying still. That's what a mimic is, and is very common in RPG (mimic chests in Zelda series come to mind)

Klefki is a representation of a fairy in old lore. It steals people's keys because that's the origin of it. It doesn't need to feed because it's an inanimate object. Inanimate objects are common in RPGs.

>The gameplay was garbage because of the Gameboy's limits
No, it's because Gamefreak had mostly incompetent programmers. Explain why the Focus Energy glitch was there "because of the Gameboy's limits", and how Iwata was able to compress Johto to the point where they could add Kanto as well. Gen 1 was originally meant to have about half of the Johto dex, wasn't it? I'm guessing they had to make the dex smaller because the programmers were too bad to compress shit and make things fit.

Also, just because it's turn-based combat at its core doesn't mean that the background mechanics have stayed the same over the past 20 years. Just the special attack/defense split in GSC proves that.

>>338178779
>That's dumb. Besides, battling was awful before the split.

There's no Pokedex entry or anything that tells you how Electrode hunts. You see it do that because you disturbed it thinking it was a Pokeball. Nothing else. Maybe it was sleeping or resting too. Electrode feeds on electricity.
