It's very easy to read that title and say "Why would you want that?" No, it's not like that. There's no stamina, there's no switching at all (on death/on down-b), the movesets of the three Pokémon should be exactly like it normally is in Project M, and is from what I've tested.

I've primarily worked on it in Legacy TE, which allowed me to use the 50 Costume Code to give each Pokémon a unique trainer, in exchange for each Pokémon being limited to 20 costumes each, and an untested Alt-Z/R. I haven't made a full version yet but hypothetically, you could give Red Charizard, Blue Squirtle, and Leaf Ivysaur, with each having their own unique voices (if Windows 10 didn't break it, I'd already hav

Pokémon has become a very stuck franchise. There's a large majority that's happy to get more Pokémon, as if that is all it takes. Cut Pokémon, trimmed gameplay, shrinking the game as a whole matters little to them because they get more of the formula. Game Freak lack the ambition to innovate because they're happy with where they're at, and that means they won't feel they need to get better. They claim to want to listen to feedback but the best features of Sword & Shield are tweaks and not additions. Gen 8 is a Quality of Life game, without the game to make it good.

We look back at the peaks, mainly the DS Era. The features introduced, abandoned swiftly. They don't need to keep what is

I've been a pretty outspoken critic of the series since Gen 6 took a turn for the worse, but now that Pokémon are being cut, I'm worried that people will see that as the only issue. Of course, that's not to say it isn't an issue, but to me, it was the next logical step in the franchise. They've been shrinking and messing with the games so much and, in my opinion, prioritising the wrong parts of the games.

Exploration is a big part of the series to me. Taking paths to places you never need to explore, looking deeper into dungeons and discovering secrets... I feel like the series has abandoned exploration for exposition. Long winded stories while your player character stands there with a smi

I'm very disappointed in Pokémon Sword & Shield. I feel like what I've seen in marketing, the thing designed to convince me the game is good, has failed to do so. Statements from individuals have made me lose faith in the series that I love. But I've seen a lot of people defend the games, but I haven't seen much of their reasoning.

So! I'd like to see it! I'm all hears!

This is very much an opinion piece, so to save time and avoid opinions being presented as facts: °in my opinion

Pokémon Sword & Shield has changed wild encounters to completely remove random encounters. This is being called the best of both worlds, and I disagree with this assessment.

The overworld appearances are fine°. Immersion, interactive, etc. That's fine°. But the changes to grass patch encounters did not need to change from the formula°.

The grass now need you to look for the occasional pop-up. Essentially, it's Let's Go without seeing them. Or even shaking patches of grass from Gen 5. The player is no longer taken by surprise, therefore never punished for being underlevel°. T

I recently tried to find where Proof of a Hero was stored in SFV's game files, because I wanted to replace it with this. I had some basic knowledge, but I couldn't find it at all. Does anyone know where I can find it? It doesn't seem to be stored with any other DLC songs, and searching MH doesn't show any results. If someone could help with this, I'd really appreciate it!

Not a problem I have but a friend didn't know where to report. The picture shows the desktop app, but the image within the image is what the person having the problem sees. They fixed it by restarting the app. Not urgent, but probably sometime to look at. I'll probably refer any questions to them if there's any.
