The first Ittle Dew is finally coming to Switch.
Hopefully it’s the fixed PC version and not the Wii U version that had a massive amount of bugs and crashing issues.
Nintendo has updated their eshop with it too. Price point is $10. Nice.
I want Ittle Dew 2+ but I don’t $30 want it. I’ll wait for the eventual price drop.
Yikes.
What’s the yikes for exactly?
It just looks bad.
Who the hell was clamoring for a Zigzagoon evolution?
Wtf is team yell even supposed to be? The antagonist “team” have become less and less relevant since Black/White. Maybe even DPP. This is just actually stupid.
Why does your rival look so stupid and somehow have an even stupider name?
Top hat mustachioed weezing and Marnie are great. Everything else is just gross.
Like, I gave sun and moon the benefit of the doubt despite me thinking it didn’t look great. I ended up getting burned on that. I hated SuMo. It’s the only mainline Pokémon game I’ve never finished.
SWSH looks actually bad on almost every front. Drednaw and the Waifus have been their only redeeming qualities so far.
Looks fine to me. But I haven’t played a mainline Pokemon game since Blue so I’m hyped, lmao.
Yea video seemed fine to me. Designs seem perfectly fine to.
Kinda beginning to think Pokemon fans are spoiled brats…they bitch and whine about everything.

(Sorry this is really long and kinda hops around. I tried to make it as coherent as possible)
I absolutely love Pokémon and always will. I’ve never had any real issues with the mainline Pokémon games until Sun/Moon. Even though I thought Diamond/Pearl was a bad generation Pokémon design wise it was still a very good if not great game. Black and White was really good too. It just lacked in a few departments, imo.
X/Y was a much needed breath of fresh air for several reasons. Even though it was never presented as such it felt like a soft reboot or a “hey. Let’s start with a fresh slate” since they knew DPP and B/W weren’t the best received. X/Y ended up being great if not fantastic. To have a title that good to follow it up with Sun/Moon was really disappointing.
I get wanting Pokémon to be accessible since it is and always has been a children’s game but the hand holding in Sun/Moon was so incredibly frustrating and absolutely killed the pacing of the game and sense of exploration. Which is one my favorite parts of Pokémon. It made me hate the game. They made a lot of other changes I didn’t like but the handholding, start/stop pacing and lack of exploration were my main points of contention.
Sword and Shield just feels like they’re taking even more steps backwards.
I just don’t like the presentation of Sword Shield. Almost all the Pokémon we’ve seen are boring. The world we’ve seen so far is boring. The gimmicks are just too gimmicky. A lot of the NPC’s we’ve seen so far are either generic looking or lifeless.
My issues with Team Yell is they’re just another disappointing antagonistic team. They’re literally just a cheering squad for Marnie. While Team rocket is always considered “the best” antagonistic team, team plasma and team Galatic were great too. Team Flare from X/Y was fine. Team Skulls dialogue was funny and creative. Their leader Guzma was cool too but they were irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. Team Aqua and Magma are laughably stupid because their goals are dumb (cover the entire water and land respectively) but they’re remembered fondly because their leaders, Archie and Maxie were awesome
What I do like about Sword and Shield: The gym leader designs are great. I also like the fact they are presenting Gym Battles as major events like we always pictured in our heads as kids and how they were presented in the anime. Drednaw is great Pokémon design too. As is Galarian Weezing. Marnie’s design is simple but really cool.
So there are things that I do like about the game. Just not enough for me to think it’s a going to be a good game or purchase it.
What Most Pokémon fans have against sword and Shield and why they’re “boycotting” it is the lack of National Dex. Which is a version of the Pokédex that unlocks after you beat the main storyline. Since Ruby and Sapphire they’ve had a “Regional Dex” and “National Dex”. So it’s been more or less a staple for almost 20 years. So it being omitted is a huge deal deal to a lot of players and has caught a much deserved amount of criticism.
I personally dont care about the National Dex. I haven’t cared about catching every Pokémon since Ruby/Sapphire. I play Pokémon to experience that region, that generations Pokémon, to face that generations gym leaders and elite 4.
While I agree the lack of national dex is an issue. It’s an issue I don’t care about.
The rage over Pokemon Masters. What did Pokemon fans not expect a mobile game to be microtransaction cesspool?
It’s not even out yet?
News about it’s monetization spread fast. The Mario Kart mobile game looks to have pay to win from stuff that come out from the beta.
Ah. Not surprised by either.
Doctor Mario World just ended up being a somehow even more MTX aggressive candy crush. So. 
I worry that much about what I looked forward to in the new pkmn game will be overshadowed by the mobile game. The main line won’t be relevant anymore if the mobile succeeds.
Got notification that my 8BitDo SN Pro Plus will arrive tomorrow. I’m pretty stoked about it, but also a little anxious about the D-pad being worth a shit. Everything I’ve read on it says it’s great, so we’ll see.

I like prime minister Weezing all he needs is a monocle.
I’m already in love with all the uh…fan art of Marnie. She’s probably my favorite character design from Sword/Shield so far.
There is also a demo now available for the game in the eShop as well. Which I will absolutely download
Sega Ages: Space Harrier and Puyo Puyo are releasing on the eshop on 8/22
Edit: Just picked Wind Jammers. It’s on sale for $7.50 but I had some coins to spare so I got it for around $4.
Also, has anyone played Wonder Boy: The Dragons Trap? It’s 50% off right now. I really like the art style but I wanted some opinions on it.
I have Wonder Boy and it’s a good game but it’s fucking tough. I never did end up beating it and don’t know if I’ll get back to it, haven’t played it in like over a year.
I just unboxed my 8BitDo Pro+ and plugged it in to charge. Initial impression, having not played anything yet, is very good. I compared it to the Switch Pro and a DS4 and I can honestly say it feels the most comfortable to grip of the three. The buttons are nice and clicky, the D-pad feels just like the SNES Mini, but the ends of the cross taper up for extra ergonomics- a welcome addition. The triggers are nice and squishy (they’re analog, but I don’t know if Switch has any games that will use that function. Will test with Rocket League later). The weight is perfect and it doesn’t feel cheap at all.
I’ll play some Mario later and give my thoughts on performance, but so far so good. If I can find some Kontrol Freeks for it, this could become my main controller for Switch, pending performance evaluation. I’ll post my thoughts on that later, but so far so good! 
I have it too, and the controller feels incredible to just hold right out the box. Havent played anything with it yet but will soon.
