Been looking forward to this, but this drip feed of info is so tiring. I feel like I’ve seen this trailer like 3 times now with tiny bits added each time. Not a huge fan of that rival’s character design, but some of the Indigo Disc characters looked cool.

Oh my goodness. 😳

Did not expect so much Galar ‘Mon love. New evolutions for Dura and Applin is really cool to see! Dripplin looks more like a different form than an evolution to me though.

Also in love with the Paradox Raikou. Cute little giraffe fella.

I also didn't expect new forms from galar so soon!

[–] handhookcardoor 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Honestly, I’m all for it! I think Galar had a ton of great designs!

Nice, new areas for me to ride through at 15 frames per second, running into Pokémon that pop in right in front of me. I really want more overly long cutscenes attached to every fucking interaction! More of that delicious slog please

I wonder if they'll use this opportunity to sort of "relaunch" the games and include a huge performance patch at release. The DLC was the best part of Sword and Shield, and these look like they could be the same.

It's also easier for me to get excited because I really didn't have crazy performance issues. Definitely some bad slowdown in places, Pokemon battles occasionally had some interesting glitches, but I don't think it ever crashed on me. I played mostly in handheld, so maybe that helped.

They won't do anything about the performance.
