Shit people will ask:
>Is this season good? I haven't watched the anime in [x] years and-
It's been pretty dull and uneventful, with the occasional good episode. Watch XY instead if you haven't.

>Muh subs when?
[PM] is subbing SM. Their releases never really happen anymore ;_;

uh-oh

The current state of pokemon.

Seriously, the fan favorite picks whether its HG/SS, BW2 or Crystal still aren't even close to the arguable high points from other franchises.
Each Pokemon game is held back by glarring flaws, this can go from non-existant difficulty to lacking post game, shitty balance or how each game insists on having the player plow through underlevelled organization grunts to kill the pacing. Often its all of the above at once, not to mention how it ALWAYS needs an enhanced version a year later for the full price to get shit done right and even then there's still the shitty story and forced evil teams.
HG/SS was the closest Pokemon has ever gotten to genuinely geat game but they insisted on also remaking the horrible Rocket plot, the level curve and the teams for several important trainers.

Yes, gen 6 and onwards is far worse than Pokemon had prevoiusly been but stop pretending there ever was a mainline Pokemon game that is an actual masterpiece.
Pokemon is the definition of a franchise that's carried by nostalgia and other emotions.

FUCKING WAIFUFAGS RRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>"Pokemon can force themselves upon their trainer and there's absolutely nothing wrong with it."

I found this thing and i thought to share it with you yall.
Also, i don't fucking know japanese, traslation is recommend please

I'm still making a Stardew/Harvest Moon-like with Pokémon. What do you want to see in it?

It's still not going to be completed, obviously.

Progress is slow and steady. Largely just coding in systems so far. These systems will increase the production of content tenfold later on, but there's little content to show as of yet, besides the pretty neat dungeon-crawling seen in the last thread. Created a "gossip engine" to pick up random daily dialog, like in the HM games. Expanded the dungeon crawling engine so it can now have exits and special event tiles. Created Trainer classes with accompanying Pokemon classes... sorry, none of that stuff is interesting, is it? I'll tell you when I have something to show.

Here's the big question of the day: I'm planning on letting the player pick one of a multitude of starters. Not sure how large the pool (12-15?) will be, but I'll see what people want. Battling is a factor in this game, but it's not the only factor, so starters should not be incredibly weak, but it would be excellent if they could conceivably find/produce some resource, or assist in production. It goes without saying that most of them should be base forms.

Here are some examples:

Mareep: Three-stage line, could produce wool and batteries.
Slowpoke: Three-stage line, could fish and provide tails. But it couldn't fish/evolve when its tail is regrowing. Interesting dynamic there.
Vanillite: Three-stage line, could produce shaved ice. And just regular ice. And snow.
Sableye, single-stager, can find gems.
Bouffalant, single-stager, can plow fields.
Miltank, single-stager, can produce milk.

Don't worry about game mechanics yet, just tell me what you think sounds comfy.

If you've got nothing to say, just post comfy Pokemon pictures.

Oh, yeah, I'm going to get a trip as well. Anyone who can come up with something more creative than "farmfag" can decide what my trip will be.

There is not a single person on earth who considers this piece of shit their favorite Pokémon. If it was left out of SwSh, not a single soul would notice, let alone care.
