Pokémon Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet General Discussion

[CylieDanny]

What I like in these games, are the battles that you grind for (Because I love grinding,) and yes it's very rewarding to complete the story, and then compete against the champion,

However, one reason Im such a fan of Sword, X/Y, Alpha Sapphire/Ruby, is because of the side options the game offers, and what I hope they carry into this new game:

Is the option to do other things, and get to know your Pokemon. Which is why I love Y and AS, because you could bond, play games, and enjoy your Pokemon's company, and also max them out in mini games. Which adds some verity. Plus friendship benefits, and your Pokemon tend to dodge more frequently.

Now Sword took that to the next level. Because of camping, though some people find it a bit tiring, its very fun, and relaxing. Where you get to bond with your Pokemon, and play with them, all while making them stronger.

So you could technically raise a verity of species, and feel more like a breeder rather then a gym challenger. Which is kinda cool. Playing with a verity, raising all kinds of Pokemon, evolving them to their final forms?? That excites me the most.

I am up to playing Arceus, stunning, looks really interesting. But Ive never been a collector, so that's kinda boring to just go around collecting. But I do like other aspects from what Ive seen.

So now I'm really hopeful that they will carry friendship into this new game, and maybe inhance it more, and you can bet Im spending time with those Seviper.

But if they carry on either in a traditional fashion, or into a different story, I kinda like the new verity, because it opens new possibilities. Id love to see what the game offers, what you can do, and I hope they offer another friendship mechanic.

If I can walk around with a Seviper, I will be sooo happy. Because Seviper is my baby. I like the attention to detail, but graphics don't matter for me, its the other goodies that do.

So Im hoping I will be able to play with my mons, or raise them in a different fashion.

Anyway, my opinion on my favorite aspect of recent games,

Also its 2022 Nintendo. Give the boys long hair, or a ponytail option. Ive only been to two hair salons in sword, so if some I havent gone to, do give out long hair, thats real cool.

Just thought Id drop this here.

I'll drop this along with it

This was quite sudden for me, I only found it from a Facebook Pokemon group, and almost thought it was fake. I guess the shock value and not really know enough at the moment; I haven't felt much about the games just yet.
Always nice to see a different country connected to the new region, always fun.

The starters are quite interesting, I guess. XD
The fire type I am more interested in, almost looks like an apple! Then almost like his whole face is a skull.
Grass type is my second fav, as a cat person of course! I don't think we need to worry about it standing on two feet. I also think there's a possibility it might look more like an Ilberian Lynx either in the middle or end of it's evolution. Maybe it's fur will be more moss like, bushy. Ohh imagine it being like a sabertooth tiger?
The water type, I'm little unsure about. That upside down mario hat has me worried, as long as it doesn't have a foamed shaped moustache, maybe the final evolution will look nice. I think it is more duck than ducklett since that evolution was a swan. We could have a 'ugly duckling; middle evoltution and then something else?

Though I am waiting to see their final evolution, since I may like the fire and grass type but the final evolution speaks for itself.

The design of the playable characters, don't look - they look like they're from boy/girl guides! Like the lil patch on their sleeve? Hopefully we can change clothes soon.

I also loved how they showed my lovely Seviper in the trailier, I gasped lol. If I can walk around with Seviper, Im happy~

Same, I loved seeing Seviper once again, my absolte fav pokemon~ <3

I know that customisation will return but I really prefer the Violet default clothing over the Scarlet.

I'll wait until version exclusives until I'll make my final decision but I'm leaning toward Violet at the moment

Oh my, well Im playing as a school kid it looks like. They actually look legitamlly ten lol. Customization pleasse.

But please tell me the boy is wearing a small sun hat, why do some male characters get so many derpy hats. If not, hat removal asap.

Boys do get a ponytail in Legends: Arceus, you can see it in the third picture of Snek's post in the Post Your Pokémon Legends: Arceus Trainer Designs thread. Frankly, as someone who always plays as the girls in Pokémon games, a few of the male hairstyles are better in Legends: Arceus (I particularly like the male's Curled and Messy Ponytail options) and I wish Pokémon games were like Animal Crossing where the hairstyles could all be chosen by either gender.

Oh nice! Those sound pretty cool, I love using messy ponytails. I was more refering to Sword, but Im glad Nintendo gave the guys some ponytails in Arceus!

Yeah same, Im glad you can wear any style regardless of gender in Animal Crossing, it would be nice if thar carried into other games, I agree

Youtuber Austin John Plays released a video called 78 Things You Missed in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Trailer.

Plan on purchasing both and starting Scarlet first.

 

[marea]

Oh, wow!! I totally did no expect gen 9 to be announced so soon, but i am so excited nonetheless. I Like the designs of the new staters, but the look of the new trainers is..... They look different from how the characters have looked so far, is what i mean.

GameFreak likes to give the player characters hats because that's sort of the standard for a Pokémon game. I personally hate wearing hats, even in real life, and many people probably feel the same which is why customisation will 100% return in S/V. Since this is a true open world game, hopefully a boutique will be available in every town.

 

[Romaki]

The only thing I care about is that the overworld looks like Legends Arceus.

 

[sleepydreepy]

I'm so thankful they decided to keep the open world theme from legends Arceus going!!! I'm super excited for that. I also love the texture details on the up close shots of pokemon.

HOWEVER the background graphics literally made me want to throw up it looks like super mario 64 lmao. I am hoping its just because these shots are still in early development, and that when it comes out it will be better.

I am also super surprised they announced another game so soon when we had 2 come out just in the last 3 months. I wouldn't have been mad if this game was set for 2023 for example, and they spent an additional year working on the game. But I guess I can understand the need for gen 9 since VGC has been stuck in gen 8 for so long.

So much outrage over Fuecoco. From not being part of that zodiac theory to having an American cheese just like Scorbunny. It really makes me want to protect him even more.

Game Freak on every new fire-type starter every 3 years:

 

[Midoriya]

I don't know why people are so hesitant to like Fuecoco. It probably has the most unique design out of the three (when comparing to past Pokemon). I mean, another cat and a duck? Get real.

It would be interesting to see where the starters fall on a poll.

 

[Croconaw]

If I get this game, I’m going with Fuecoco. I’m so glad there is another crocodile starter. I think 90% of people will choose the cat, though.

Consider it done!

This game actually looks amazing and I really hope we get more information on available Pokémon to obtain in this game.

Unfortunately, this sort of information won't really be known until either the game (eventually) leaks and is datamined, or the game is released and Serebii updates the site's Pokedex.

 

[Snek]

All of the mons that are still stuck in Gen 7 need to come back in this game. The Gen 6 starters in particular. I mean...Kalos is just north of the new region so it would be weird if they didn't return.
