I think that is more Nintendo's conservatism and unfamiliarity with how to implement those practices, rather than for a lack of desire.

If you think about it, RBY were the first games to have a "toxic" mechanic for artificially gimping the final product to double sales: version exclusive Pokemon. This was not Satoshi Tajiri's original intent, it was incidental to the game philosophy. But Nintendo immediately became aware of it and built the restriction into newer games even as the sociality of the mainline games gave way to online trading.

Something like this is a big deal for Nintendo. I think it's crazy that we're all expecting paid DLC from a franchise that never officially offered it in that form.

Not to mention, I think it will be mandatory. $60 for a national dex and no ability to battle those who have the DLC? You can't say no.

I think it's more the cynicism of the gaming community in general these days, we've hit the point where we just expect this shit from anyone and everyone. We expect the worst because due to shit like EA, Ubi and Activision, we see it often enough. I think at best Nintendo's leaving the option there, but they won't launch with them because frankly there's a hell of a lot of bad feelings around SwSh as is, and until those are cleared, DLC could very well be the nail in the coffin.

Wild Area gameplay.

My beef is this looks super slow and a slog to have to get through in story mode, even with the editing in this video to cut out most of the actual turns.

The intro, the Pokemon release, the Gigantamax, and the capture are all a slow process. The pace of play is more an issue with the 3D games than anything and it's one of the reasons 3D Pokemon was a mistake.

First I'm hearing of this, and believe me, I'm keeping a sharp eye out. Are we sure?

No we're not, since Kaphotics hasn't said anything yet. There's also been multiple false positives throughout today. But we'll likely know very soon if it actually is.

Nice to know that I'm not the only one who's been occasionally checking up on Kaphotics throughout this prerelease season, I guess. Ż\_(ツ)_/Ż

Yep, here we go.

There were reports yesterday that Latin America had acquired carts, so it looks like someone was able to supply Kaphotics.


...

Fff, there goes the last bastion of credibility.

Yeah, a continuing reminder that preload encryption is bonkers and the game will probably not start getting datamined until someone breaks street date per the usual.

Well, at least it'll give the thing some semblance of relevance for the first time in over a decade and a half. If nothing else, it should wind having a terrifying neat design.

There's no real confirmation on any of the leaks and a lot of fakes are going around.

I think the Sobble, Grookey second stages are the only real ones.

The other interesting leak is Marnie is the Princess of Galar, while Team Yell are her undercover bodyguards.

That would be very #onbrand for Junichi Masuda.

It looks like the masses believe the Grookey and Intelleon designs are real.

I am laughing so hard, my voice sounds like a mix of Emperor Palpatine and a braying donkey with tuberculosis.

Here's all the leaks. I'm convinced that Meowth is real at the bare minimum.

There's magic inside.

Gigachamp, Gigacrab, Gigamar?, and names of the fully-evolved starters:

Actually not Malamar sadly, a new Pokemon called "Hatterene".

I've uploaded all the current pictures in that imgur link.

Rillaboom
Intelleon
Cinderace

x2 waifu starters, what a world we live in.

...Oh. That's a bit disappointing.

Giga Lapras seems to have a pretty solid signature attack, at least. Aurora Veil without the need of Hail? Sounds good to me!

Looks like the last one for the night is Gigapras.

And with that, Ben Affleck becomes the second most accurate prophet of our time.

My thoughts on the starters:

Im avoiding looking at most of the spoilers but the starter evos look really bad.
