okay now make the playable characters not look hideous

>>58999056
Is this just Animal Crossing with Pokemon or is it something different?

>>58999067
wayyyyyy more building and terraforming than AC.

>>58999056
TPC does not give a shit. They make billions from merch, the games are just a drop in the bucket for their profit.

>>58999056
Ok, so how can I play this physically without relying on a GKC?

>>58999266
Game Freak employees probably do know they're the issue.

>>58999056
There's no reason this isn't a Switch 1 game.

>>58999344
The reason is that you can't pirate switch 2 games.

>>58999067
Its more Dragon Quest Builders than Animal Crossing

>when the Teraleaks literally stated that GF got pissy that Nintendo tried to give the IP to other companies to do their own take
It was right in front of your faces the whole time.

They need to let Koei Tecmo do a Pokemon Warriors game after this.

>>58999363
It hilarious seeing another company come and mog the shit out of Game Freak on the first try

>>58999056
a pokemon game in this art style would be so good...

>>58999347
every nintendo console can be emulated eventually, switch 2 is no exception

>>58999449
see you in 8 years lmao

>>58999659
Gane Freak was probably just looking ove Koei's shoulders to make sure they didn't break any rules in the Pokemon Bible, Koei did all the heavy lifting

>>58999449
same as denuvo, if it's not piratable on release, sales go up because people want to be a part of the discussion
even if it gets cracked in a few months, while it still isn't releasing on it gives maximum profit

>>58999870
Probably just Masuda backseating while they take none of his advice.

>>58999870
>to make sure they didn't break any rules in the Pokemon Bible
Thats TPCs job gamefreak doesn't care and breaks their own rules all the time

>>58999794
They have a specialized team for digimon games standard Namco output is closer to slop like the dragonball games

>>58999870
koei has been making based nintendo spin offs for years at this point. i think KT is lowkey top 3 studio going today

>>58999794
You can tell the user scores are inflated by people who review bombed the past few Pokemon games. Nothing is ever honest anymore, there's always some weird culture war

dropping DQ Builders 1 for this

>>58999344
As someone who always gets consoles late, I know that feel brother

Thankfully I got Switch 2 at launch

>>58999870
No, unlike every other spin off its co-developed by Game Freak. We know they have been developing this idea for years so it's more like they are the idea guys while Koei Tecmo uses their DQ Builders expertise to do all the asset work.

I hate how even spin-offs have to use the same fucking Pokemon models from XY. I'll even take the toy aesthetic from Rumble, just please do something different.

>>58999056
This literally is a Gamefreak game you fucking idiot. There's more Gamefreak involvement here than some TPC shit like Detective Pikachu or Rumble.

>>59000802
you really wanted them to look like this?

>>59001163
Yes. I'd rather they try a new artstyle that I don't like then continue using the same artstyle I don't like for everything.

>>59001163
pokemon is pure nostalgia bait anyways
if they went back to a simpler easier to manage art style, they could focus on the game itself so that pokemon can finally get back to being good instead of AI tier slop.

>>58999794
>same score as ZA
uhh?

>Ignoring all third parties since stadium 1
Are you serious OP?

>>58999344
It could be an n64 game

its a game about exploring and building more than it is living in a town with animals

>>58999654
What makes Y better than X?

>>58999794
Time Stranger is a good game if we're ignoring the fact this game was developed for almost a decade, which wasn't that distinct visual and gameplay-wise from Cyber Sleuth/Hacker's Memory.

Then again Survive took half a decade to make, which was even more baffling and memory-holed.

I'd be shocked if that holds, even if it's only a few.

>>58999056
okay but is there any gift pokemon i can keep in Home or no?

>>58999449
Switch 2 isn't getting cracked open until WW in 2027, thus Pokopia can spend all of 2026 relishing in the sales it'll get from being a game you can't pirate.
In fact, that's probably WHY WW is 2027, to delay the inevitable that'll hurt the Switch 2 as a whole, without completely killing the Pokemon schedule flow.

>>59003089
Cinderace and Decidueye keep winning

no, there aren't even battles

so what do you even do with the pokemon?

>>59003244
the only spinoff out of the million kajillion pokemon spinoffs (minus things directly linked to main series games like dream radar) that has ever done that in any capacity is ranger, what makes you think this game in particulars gonna start doing it again now

>>59003244
Rotom Stereo Form after gen 10 introduces sound type

>>59003259
well actually im remembering the jirachi in channel but that was europe only so like whatever
primary point is no pokemon game has done that in like way over a decade

>>59003259
Pokopia is basically a GameFreak game, it's just being developed by someone else. The whole idea of using KANTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO as the setting wouldn't be possible if GameFreak wasn't heavily involved, and thus, because of their involvement, they have the leeway to potentially tie exclusive Pokemon to this game, and there's already asset reuse potential for such because the Pokemon icons are the same as mainline Pokemon.

>>59003297
the only way i could see it happening if it was a ranger situation where it was coming out nearly parallel with gen 10, but its not, so theres no reason for them to include something like that, the purpose was "ooo buy this game now so you have a cool pokemon in dp in just a few months". wind/waves isnt coming out for over a year so its basically advertising nothing since it wont be out for ages and by the time its out pokopia will be old news. it just seems like a pointless idea

>>59003319
Champions releases in April, mate, they already have a "very close to release" game to tie a Pokopia exclusive to. It'd be their easy ticket to monetizing the metagame even more by making said exclusive extremely powerful or must have in some way, and then they can start rolling out the marketing that says you can get special goodies for sending the Pokopia exclusive to WW.

>>59003333
well if it makes you happy there probably will be some inevitable purchase bonus for having pokopia on your system when w/w releases where they just give you a rando mythical for no reason lol

>>58999673
It's Banco. They have tendency for abandoning their IPs and massive amounts of jewery. Tho iirc Nintendo just bough 80% of Namco Singapure studios and is planning to acquire the remaining 20% in the near future. With that in mind, I'm curious what we gonna see from them. Snap was great, but they also had massive fuck up in the form of work on Metroid Prime 4 so shitty that Nintendo was forced to pry work from their hands and give it back to the original team.

>>59002675
>>59002711

I mean, it's implied to be post-apo Kanto fuck know how far in the future. Fucked up ecosystem and invasive species make perfect sense.

KT is one of those studios that are top tier when a tardwrangler is assigned to them (Nintendo) but does mid at best on their own

>>59003475
