Pizza Tower x Pokemon crossover is finally happening
-
I still have no idea what the game‘s about
-
It‘s likely cross-gen with the Switch‘s successor and I hope it‘ll be technically more competent than their last Pokemon game - especially since it‘ll have to run on the original Switch again

We all do but S/V sold like hotcakes so I highly doubt it. They really have no incentive to spend any more time or money that absolutely necessary to churn out games.
Legends means it'll use the open world battling and catching mechanics seen in Legends Arceus.
Also features city planning, could be post-war reconstruction in the past (3000 years ago).
Also, the mega symbol at the end implies new Mega Pokemon.
And since it has a 2025 release date, hopefully it will have enough time to bug fix. Likely, it will use the existing Legends Arceus engine so hopefully that allows them more time to refine.
That's probably the point here. They're intentionally not showing anything and not saying too much because this is the launch game for the Switch U or whatever it'll be called.
Wonder how much last minute changes are taking place in the wake of Palworld
They have to compete so they have decided, this time, you can fuck the pokemon.
Get the deviant art dlc day one
Let's see if we can't get some sound out of Mr. Mime.
This comment made me involuntarily shudder

Vaporeon cover legendary lets go!
They don't have to compete, palworld offered little resistance or trouble for them. You are comparing 3m sales of a base game to 30m. The only thing they might consider is either adding more functionality in game (which is good) but still based on Arceus, I doubt art or optimization and graphics will be of importance.
lol it's a joke my man. I know they aren't in the same league.
I would buy
Well Palworld is just a bland survival game that has pokemon in it. The major interesting thing Palworld does is a base/farm simulator where your workers have different specialties and can assign jobs. I highly doubt Pokemon will go that route.
So the only other thing Palworld does is that it doesn't run like dogshit and is concurrent multiplayer. So if we get either of those from Pokemon I guess that's a win?
You think that will happen with GameFreak as developers? lol

None, I'd imagine.
Pokemon Z is finally real. Seems like a futuristic setting instead of the past like the last Legends game?
I think it'll be the recent past, showing how Lumiose came to be what it is in X/Y. A prequel story could do wonders for X/Y, fleshing out Lysandre with an actual backstory could make him interesting.
I might consider it if they finally give it more than a year to cook.
I am guessing this is meant to be the Switch 2 launch title. With that system being delayed (it was supposed to be released this year but now it's 2025), hopefully they'll use the extra time to heavily polish the game and make it pretty.

I enjoyed megas far more than dynamaxing, so glad they're bringing it back somehow!
This looks cool but will probably watch others play instead of getting it myself. Waiting for a Pokemon game on the next console. I think we’ve maxed out the Switch.
Gamefreak has yet to make a Pokemon game on the switch that doesn’t run like garbage so hopefully they can do a little better this go-around. I won’t be holding my breath though.
Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee actually ran well, with only occasional dips. Not sure how their first Switch outing was also their most polished...
You’re right, although I’d hope the reskin of a 20 year old game would run ok.
It was more than a reskin, with a new catching system based on Pokémon Go, but yeah, the area design was pretty much already done

I wish they‘d stuck with what USUM did visually but in higher res and obviously with more eye candy. Neither the hardware nor the studio seemed to be ready for full 3D Pokemon.
The hardware is more than ready, there is no way in hell that 3D Pokemon would need more hardware power than Monster Hunter Rise or any Xenoblade game did. Monster Hunter Rise even had a horde mode of all things, using models that are way more complex than any Pokemon.
Have they released any gameplay footage? Or images?
Who cares it says Pokémon on the cover so I will buy 2 copies of it and then complain about quality going down.
There's your answer. And why nintendo doesn't care.

Fuck I hate useless trailers like this.
2 minutes to basically announce a title and nothing else.
Let's see how many bugs this will launch with.
