I feel like it's a mix of toxicity against Tencent and toxicity from Pokemon fans who were speculating something more was going to come out of a Direct dedicated to just one game.

I'm just happy nobody created a page for it. That would've devolved into ridiculous complaining very fast.

The re-upload was apparently due to a minor error in the footsge showing the switch mirrored for some reason.

So uh....Mr. Trump Just signed an executive order that bans all transactions with Tencent and other Chinese companies

Now normally I wouldnt even begin to mix such a topic together with the gamer sphere for....reasons. But because Tencent is directly linked to this game I made an exception.

Considering the icy response this game has gotten over in the West, it's probably for the best.

It was probably aiming for the China money already. This is just a hiccup for TPC outside of possibly wasting some money on a useless localization.

The aim was mostly to appeal to China (Pokemon is a relatively new thing there, only within the last half a decade did they receive anything pokemon related). But I was honestly looking forward to this. Havent played a MOBA since SMITE and even with the sketchiness of Tencent I had a feeling the Pokemon Company would have had a firm grip on the data privledges.

That being said, after reviewing said order....this is not enforcable in the slightest. Even if it went through, pretty much everyone would outright ignore it. Still, there will be ripples for this as we move on to tomorrow and the days after, so we'll see what happens

I'm not complaining but the possible motivations for this game's conception still bother me.

At least people are happy that the ban got rid of Tik Tok.

Oh they’re going to be unhappy when the TikTokers start going to their websites like Youtube, Reddit, and Twitter. People will be saying that they were so innocent back then. Since there’s a likely chance that they’ll move there and that TikTok atleast contained them.

Personally I get why people don’t like it but I really hate the amount of Gen 8 representation. I could see a starting roster of Raichu, Charizard, Scizor, Crobat, Gardervoir, Garchomp, Lucario, Zoroark, Greninja, Decidueye, and Mr. Rime work out better

I thought we could use an Ice Type for my proposed starting roster though maybe Galarian Darmanitan or Frosmoth could’ve worked better

So uh...been kinda quiet huh?

Luckily we have a bit more news since the game went into beta in china a while ago. The roster is pretty varied, with surprise picks Like Crustle and Cramorant being playable, and more recently it was revealed that skins will be added, giving your pokemon costumes to play around with

There definitely had to be some dark horse picks. Can't have a healthy roster that includes tanks if you only have the starters. You'd get...what, just Venusaur and Chesnaut? I feel like a decent chunk of grass starters could be tanks, but few water, and no fire.

I kind of want to like this, but at the same time I don't like MOBAs at all. Interesting concept, though.

The problem with MOBAs - and why they die so quickly - is that most of them are clones of League of Legends. Yeah, they innovate a little, but rarely anything substantial. I really hope this game is different.

It looks harmless but until we get more information on how the micro transactions work, we have no way of determining how repugnant it is.
