Nintendo said it'd be a core RPG pokémon game, i still am so extremely confused anyone thought it'd be anything but a mainline entry to the series.

They basically announced that they're working on gen 8.


Breeding and making competitive mons is the easiest it has ever been, which honestly to me makes this endgame the best we've ever had.

But yes, i do really wish the upcoming games have battle frontier or PWT, or both. Or a variant of the two. I miss that kind of post-game.

with smogon existing, breeding and competitive is pretty pointless unless you plan to play VGC or some other competitive platform. And even then most of them just lowkey use hacked pokemon.

The thing that separates the games is things like battle tower, battle frontier, and the other quirky extras

A new Nintendo Switch TV dock has been revealed, and it's less than half the price of the official one.

Nyko's Portable Docking Kit (below) will be available for just $44.99 when it goes on sale later this autumn.

With ports for HDMI and AC adaptor cables, the Portable Docking Kit allows players to easily connect the Switch to a TV.

Not only is it cheaper than the official Nintendo Switch TV dock, but it's also much smaller, which means you can take it with you wherever you go.

"Portable Docking Kit is a compact docking station that allows players to easily connect the Switch console to a TV without carrying their home dock everywhere with them.

"Powered by a USB Type-C AC Adapter, the kit keeps the Switch charged while playing on the TV and includes a built-in stand to keep the console upright, with ports for the HDMI cable and AC adapter."

Unlike the official Nintendo Switch TV Dock, it doesn't come with a spare HDMI cable and AC Adaptor.

There's currently no plans for a UK release, but Nyko products typically get picked up by third-party sellers on the likes of Amazon.

Nyko also showcased its Power Shell Case during the E3 Gaming Expo.

The new Nintendo Switch case sports a hard outer shell, which is also light enough to carry around.

It also features space enough to transport your Nintendo Switch and a total of 16 games. Alternatively, you can carry 15 games and two microSD cards.

Elsewhere, the Power Shell features a 6000 mAh battery, which Nyko claims will double the battery life of the Nintendo Switch.

The case also charges your Nintendo Switch via a stowaway Type-C cable that is stored within the outer rim of the case.

Another nice feature is the built-in stand, which lets you play the Switch in tabletop mode while charging.

So excited for Metroid Samus Returns (yes I know it's not on Switch). But now I guess it looks like if Prime 4 is a thing, it's time to finally give the other Prime ones a try again. Wasn't a fan of playing one of the Metroids in 3D a long time ago, on my DS.

Mario Odyssey looks awesome too. Xenoblade Chronicles 2, this game has had so much hype from people I might give this a try. Holy crap there goes my life again in a few months

I'll have to disagree, i enjoy playing against friends and i enjoy breeding and creating new mons to use in online battles. I don't gen because it's not as satisfying.
I don't care for smogon or VGC or anything like that.

To me, the post-game is the best it has ever been right now by virtue of breeding and making 'perfect' pokémon being so much easier now.

what is the benefit of taking all that time to play with your friends on the game instead of smogon? Not to mention the formats on the game are incredibly shitty, the ladder uses the take 6 pick 3 system which is fucking horrid. I cant see any upside to playing on the real game because its not run properly. You also severely limit your options/movesets.

The logistics are just not in any way in anti-smogon favor

Because i find it more fun? Everything you listed is just your opinion, which i disagree with. I have played both for a lot of time and in the end playing with friends in the game was so much more fun, so of course i'm gonna stick with it.

So more fun is the benefit.

alright i just wanted to hear you admit that you're a homer, literally nothing I said was opinion there. It's all factual.

The ladder in the game uses pick 6 take 3.
It takes a long time to grind a team.
There are less pokemon/moveset options.
Takes 10 minutes tops to make an account and be ready to play on smogon.

These aren't opinions.

Plenty of things you said are just your opinion.

You said the ladder system is 'fucking horrid', which i disagree with. You say it's not run properly, which i disagree with.
It barely takes any time to create a team + pokémon can be re-used + it is simply more fun to me to use something i worked on to make.
Less movesets isn't something i particularly care about so it's not a negative for me, and i have access to all the pokémon i care about.

You list these things as though they're downsides or huge negatives while to me they either don't matter or are infact part of the reason i find playing inside the game more fun.

you dont provide any counterarguments though. you just say "lol moar fun"

they arent opinions if you can't actually explain how these things are good.

I don't think you've even mentioned one positive of the actual game over smogon besides "lol moar fun"

just because you personally dont care about them doesnt mean they arent huge design flaws. Pokemon homers are the worst.
