Let me guess, they’re introducing base-building and crafting elements that they somehow patented ten years ago.

They did have a base building mechanic in diamond/pearl, if you can call a hole in the ground a “base”.
Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
They had that in Ruby/Sapphire

There was something similar in ruby/sapphire/emerald if I’m remembering correctly.

Ahh, memories of playing Emerald and coming up to the parts of the map that rained. I’d use the secret base and imagine me and my pokemon getting out of the rain to dry up and use potions. Too bad pokemon is shit now.

Did anyone ever actually use those things? I never bothered in any of my playthroughs.
CosmoNova@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Good. I have no empathy for huge corporate bullies. In fact if the leaks are true, they deserve it even more for their audacity. I mean a survival monster catcher game? Seriously?

Nintendo deserve everything bad that happens to them

Quick, someone patent it all!
anarchyrabbit@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Zero sympathy for them. Glad I sold my switch.
Psythik@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Nintendo deserves every bad thing that happens to them. They’re never getting a single penny from me ever again.
maskquerade@ttrpg.network 2 weeks ago
This is the way.
AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
You’ve got to catch them al, but now there’s an endless stream of them being generated by the Nintendo IA.
garretble@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Honestly, it’s looking like Monster Hunter Stories 3 will by my next “game where you collect monsters in some fashion” game.

any link to leaked data?

Is there a link for more info on this?
TemplaerDude@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
It’s going to look like a PS2 game and play like the almost 30 year old original.
WALLACE@feddit.uk 2 weeks ago
So a massive step forward from their recent games then
capuccino@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I’ve lost any emotion for new games of this franchise since, like, 20 years

Coromon is a pretty good indie if you liked the old GBA games. Trmtem is one I had fun with in the 3d space.
Nelots@piefed.zip 3 weeks ago
Cassette Beasts is another great one.
Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
TemTem is going to, or already has, announced the servers for the game were going offline, but that you could still play single player. A noble move when big companies are just shuttering their servers and leaving their games unplayable.
Elextra@literature.cafe 3 weeks ago
Second coromon! Its my favorite monster catcher besides Pokémon. Nexomon doesn’t take itself seriously and is a nice filler for Pokémon as well.
maskquerade@ttrpg.network 2 weeks ago
I recommend just playing, or replying, the older games instead of wasting money on some indie trash to fill the void.
yermaw@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Mine went away when they discovered like 400 new pokemon and still told me I gotta catch em all.
No mate.
150 (151 actually omg you didnt even know that what kind of fan are you you didnt even…) was plenty. Took me fucking ages to get them all. Im not going through that shit again.
Nelots@piefed.zip 2 weeks ago
Idk, I completed both Gen I and II fully, getting all 151 (plus MissingNo.) and 251 Pokemon respectively in those games, and it wasn’t that bad. If you’re just doing the regional pokedex each game I’d probably find it fun because I like collecting things.
Trying to complete the national pokedex in later games sounds miserable though. 1,000+ Pokemon in one game?? No thanks. But I’m fairly certain you can’t even complete the national pokedex anymore because many older Pokemon just aren’t in the newer games.
maskquerade@ttrpg.network 2 weeks ago
You don’t actually have to catch them all.
I’ve never bothered doing that in any of the pokemon games I’ve played and still thoroughly enjoyed them.
rafoix@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
That will change once they add sex scenes.
maskquerade@ttrpg.network 2 weeks ago
Yeah, the series died with Pearl for me.
Still good games up to that point, though.

Ok boomer
Psythik@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I rather be a Boomer than be foolish enough to pay $60 every year for the same exact game. Pokémon has changed so little that I could pick up a modern title 20 years after playing my last one and still know exactly how the game mechanics work with no tutorial.
