- Pokemon news has been lacking since the announcement of Pokemon Legends Z-A but recently GameFreak and The Pokemon Company have just given amazing news that is great to hear for the future of Pokemon. With Nintendo's next gen system the Nintendo Switch 2 successor just around the corner as well, this could be great for Pokemon on a brand new console. Get all the details here!

This is definitely the biggest W for Pokemon in a while 🎉
I think we are getting the best of both worlds here. The experienced personnel can help improving performance and overall quality of the graphics. The newer staff can bring fresh eyes and offer new ideas regarding the story and potential battle mechanics. With how popular, Pokémon is, I think this is a big step forward for improving the overall quality of their future releases!
Big but worrying.
.
Funny how it was after Palworld beat their sales.
@@donellebullock7404it sucks how Palworld is working with Sony now the one company any indie dev should avoid working with
Finally, after over 9000 years, the human dex at game freak will exceed 150
They finally got a gen 2
@@anthonycurby4606maybe in another 25 years but for now they finished the first Gen of humandex
They have hired people just for a few days multiple times, I wouldn't be surprised if it exceeded 150 for only half an hour lol
Missed opportunity to say 151
You guys do realize they have been in the gen 2 numbers for a while
Gamefreak is just hiring more ppl. That's the vid. You're welcome.
you singlehanded decrease this youtuber's engagement lol
💀
saves me 9 mins
Thank you
yeah this video is a waste of time cause he fails to mention that they lay off all of their employees after a project is complete.
go look at the reviews for working for gamefreak and translate them.
They're a useless company.
I'm only now learning that Gamefreak only had around 200 employees. That is INSANE. Like....damn. No wonder these games feel unfinished. 1 game a year with that few people working on it?
looking at the games they've been making lately I thought it was 30 people max
To be fair witcher 3 had a tiny team, and cyberpunk had a multi-thousand team, a bigger team is not always better. Time and Management is always more important.
I really wish I could find the source again, but apparently another problem was Gamefreak also being run by essentially older people that could barely operate a microwave.
@@TheDivineImmortalsthat’s the point that they are making. Game freak has a tiny team AND short deadlines, lol. You can’t have both of those disadvantages if you want to create games that are not mediocre. I have been saying this for years but if game freak needs to be putting out games this frequently then they need a staff of like 1,000 split across 3 teams, like how COD does it.
There hasn't been a new game since 2022, so that yearly game narrative should be dismissed
I’m an artist, my dream since I was 4 was to draw new Pokémon for a living. Im 30 now and need any and all information on how to apply to do character design
google it
Hi
Hello
You could probably look it up. Also id recommend you organize a portfolio of all your designs (at least the good ones, not something u did when u were like 4 and had no idea about art principles like composition)
Fuck yeah dude. Go for it. google shit on how to get there, make a portfolio, do some freelancing and commissions so you can get some experience, and keep doing your designs man, non stop. It'd be awesome to see where you go with it.
This is long overdue. I think GF and TPC finally hit a breaking point where they couldn’t maintain a minimum level of quality while still producing yearly releases. I’m personally thrilled that we’re getting a gap year this year. The last time that happened was 2015 and after that we got sun and moon which were a sizable step up from Gen 6.
No wonder i loved SM but hated all the other 3D pkmn games
I don't mind waiting like 3 years for a Pokemon game as long it is finished
less is more
Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon were probably the most fun games Pokemon has produced.
I liked all the recent Pokemon title personally (except for BDSP), but yeah, I'm glad that Gamefreak and The Pokemon Company are stepping up their quality big time.
Hopefully, fans get what they want so they can stop complaining all the damn time
Finally forced to put out a good looking title considering the generational leap. Glad the pressure is on them a bit considering the billions they bring in from low effort/poorly managed projects. Pokemon fans might get what they deserve soon
I suggest keeping your hopes low until we see the result of this thing play out.
@@hikaru9624 I’m not talking about legends ZA, I’m talking more about gen 10 which will probably be on unreal engine considering their hirings in the past two years point to them transitioning. I still think Pokémon games will be mid, just way less kid than before. I even said “might”. Trust me my expectations for game freak cannot be lower.
I was about to say they're definitely working hard 😂 it's the management that's the problem
@@anonwalkerr and I was speaking generally. I still advise you keep your hopes in check until we've seen more than 4 games come out. Then we'll know if Gamefreak has improved or not (likely not).
@@anonwalkerr those games are still great IMO and it will not be mid at all anymore! Trust me they got this now thanks to the hiring!
Part of me feels like its too soon to see a trailer for the new game but id like to be surprised
I want at least concept art
How is it too soon it was announced 6 months ago.
If they have nothing to show after the teaser they showed 6 months ago then that’s kinda concerning
@@richardtaveras3593 or maybe they just don't want to show it?
@@Crafty_boy70 Its coming out 2025. They have to show it. Last time i checked im a consumer i want to see what im gonna buy.
Tbh I saw this coming. They were ONE more strike away from getting dogged on by Nintendo. Scarlet and Violet sold well, yeah, but Nintendo issued an apology on THEIR behalf, and frankly that’s embarrassing. They’ve been coasting on this annual release for so long it’s about time they step back and reevaluate what’s more important: quality
Do you have any source for this?
@@Superstar5_it takes 5 seconds to google search this
@@Superstar5_ Their source is some journalist who made it the f*ck up. There *was* an apology in the patch notes for an early update, but patches are Gamefreak's job, same as everything else to do with the games.
I think they are preparing for Gen 10 which is likely coming out on the year of the 30th anniversary of Pokemon
considering legends za would prolly release in fall 2025, gen 10 is reserved for 30th anniversary to be released in 2026.
which i am fine with as it feels like legends arceus released yesterday.
time flies so fast. let the gamefreak take its time a deliver a better game. its the quality that matters not quantity
If they give us Gen 1-3 on eshop it would easily give us something to do
I wonder why we haven’t seen the older games on the NSO since we have game boy games
@@smartstuf1026 I heard it was cause of Dexit or something
@@smartstuf1026 I heard it was supposedly about dexit
Probably the issue we had in games since sword and shield
I would buy if they let us shiny hunt Deoxys and Mew.
I hope that some how in some way they lift the shiny lock off of the starters and everything
Absolutely, that’s why I think BDSP will always be great, at least for shiny hunters. It’s because they didn’t have a lock on anything.
@@thehungrypandagamer2742 what ticked off most was the fact that every single legendary in SV was shiny locked even the returning ones.
Who cares, it's not important
@@leonardoferrari4852 maybe to non shiny hunters it isn’t but to those who enjoy the hobby it is,so please kindly respect our thoughts on this.
@@leonardoferrari4852 maybe for most people, but there are those who like to hunt for something with a perceived rarity. Even if it is tedious. and boring. and time consuming. and may cause people to get stuck in a specific place because they want a sparkly god of time for their playthrough.
No matter what the company does, i REALLY hope they use the same pokemon models from scarlet and violet because they look really awesome!
And have the shinies make a jingle sound when you encounter them of course
magnemite always looks shiny in pokemon scarlet and violet :(
@@AlmostNamedOnethat's most likely poor lighting choices
@@gargoyle42069not necessarily they are made of metal
I’m all for stars coming back and the lighting in violet sucks.
They better Work more on those animations tough
Am I the only one that hopes generation 10 is kind of like generation 5 where up until post game you can't use any old Pokemon
I'd love that personally but I don't think they will ever do that again after getting so much backlash during Gen 5
@@ActualAero which is weird because Jen 5 is right up there with Gen 3 for me as favorite and all my friends hated it when it first came out but now they talk about how great it is like they loved it the whole time
@@Whelp140yeah that’s the problem, the generation were they put more effort was the most hated
@@rullocompressore1550 yeah because everybody that couldn't play with Charizard and Gyarados thought it was trash
@@Whelp140my whole thing on that is what if you didn't like a single Gen 5 pokemon you were forced to use them whether you like them or not I like a lot of Gen 5 pokemon I'm not saying I had issues with it I'm saying that I can see why people had issues with it
Long overdue if you ask me. I mean this is a long time coming for Gamefreak and I am surprised it took them this long to realize it.
aghhh i was so interested in the pokemon hiring part but i'm only 18 and don't have a 12 year experience and can't even think of a starter job LMAOO
Keep your mind on the prize. A lot of opportunities will present itself in life.
Maybe in 10 years
This comment made me laugh. TPC is a terrible place to work. Do some research
How about we just get older titles available on the Switch? Would love the GBA/DS games available on Switch.
We got mystery dungeon so there you go
@TheSpeedfoever Because that's definitely on the same level as Emerald, HGSS or BW2, right? Lmao.. my bad, I forgot Pokémon is a small indie company, so they don't have the resources to release old games.
@@Clooger- its better than emerald
@Clooger- Financially, It doesn't make sense to release the kanto games on online because of let's go, and DS/3DS games aren't being released on the Switch online, probably due to the dual screen setup. So practically, only hoenn and maybe johto would be released on the Switch.
@@TheSpeedfoever Doesnt count because its locked behind a larger paywall than just putting the game on the eshop. I shouldnt have to get an upgraded subscription or even a subscription at all to play the game, I should be able to just outright purchase it from them digitally at the least.
I’m gonna be honest it sounds like they are desperate for employees because either maybe they’re not going so cheap anymore and things won’t be as easy so maybe people quit or they just have a lack of people who have the motivation and skills for higher quality Pokémon games and that’s why they are hiring
Applying American knowledge to the Japanese job market. I think you're way off there buddy.
apparently gamefreak is run like dog water according to some japanese company review sites so i wouldn't be surprised if they had a high turnover rate
@@DaBwownGodthiwaIf memory serves, half of the reviews are super positive, and the other half are extremely negative, but we can surmise that the positive side likely comes from the art department (a lot of the good reviews mention how they felt their voices were heard and ideas considered by the older devs on the team).
@@hollowfox213 that's what i heard too, but yeah i'd still hate to be like an actual game developer there lol
@@DaBwownGodthiwa Oh yeah, I agree 100%, I was just adding a little more info. Their turnover rates are still god awful, even for the art department lol
Just as soon as I got on RUclips, this video showed up. I noticed the audio difference from your microphone and I wonder what microphone it is.
Bro hearted the message and just didn't answer your question 😂
@@TheWahab2002boosts the algo!
It's the Earthworks Ethos!
@@ActualAero why’s it sound like 144p then
Nevermind I think it’s your voice it sounds a lil muffled
@@ActualAero Your voice definitely sounds deeper and more rich, but now there's a lot of popping in and out. Are you using a pop filter to offset your 'p' and 'b' sounds? The sound in your old videos wasn't super rich but the audio felt consistent from start to finish. Maybe there's a setting you can tweak on whatever brand mic you got.
ZA is most likely a launch 🚀 title for the new switch, can’t have it with controversy
Honestly my original prediction would have been that Nintendo would have had a reveal trailer for the Switch 2 and that they would show us a sneak peek at Legends ZA in the trailer similarly to how they did with Super Mario Odyssey in the Switch's reveal trailer. After the Switch 2 is revealed, then they could've had an actual trailer for Legends ZA with more info than just a 2 second clip of gameplay.
I won’t hold my breath. People are going about this the same way as ever. Never realizing the day and age we are living in.
I suppose that is what happens when a collective echo chamber of people are so blinded by nostalgia.
I really hope the Switch and Switch 2 are compatible. I don’t want to have to buy both just to play Gen 8/9 + ZA. I’d rather trade my switch for a switch 2
Normally they are, you can play ds games on 3ds you can play wii games on Wii U so most likely
What I want to see, are more Mystery Dungeon series games, and new Pokemon Ranger series games too; hopefully we do get some more of those!
Make Pokemon great again!
Idk if I would have noticed the audio change if you didn't mention it, but since you brought it up yeah it is for sure better
Pokemon Fire Red and Leaf Green release in 2006. Pokemon Diamond and Pearl released in 2008.
Game Rant article; This is totally the first time the franchise takes a 2 year break guys!
Legends is likely to launch in 2025, and they don't seem to be counting the S/V dlc since they're listing that as 2022. So, it's three years between games with a technicality. Correct with a technicality is a step up from what you usually get from game rant.
EDIT: typo made "likely" correct to "looking". I believe we're not getting Legends until 2025, but I don't want to make it seem like it's confirmed.
I hope this means we get the 3 gen games too sometime down the line.
I'm really hoping Gamefreak isn't hiring contract workers just to delegate a small project, but rather to expand to improve the quality of all their games across the board. They share the amount of work and releases that Ubisoft does but they're only a fraction of company size and it's really starting to show with the quality of these recent Pokemon games. Japanese work culture is really conservative and we don't really know what goes on at the building so only time will tell when we start seeing them drop some new stuff. It's wild when you realize that they've been such an established company for decades, with their Pokemon franchise costing billions of dollars, backed by one of the mainstay gaming companies (Nintendo) yet even in 2024 the quality of their games look like it's coming from an indie studio.
0:42 I can vouch if that helps, I noticed an increase in quality pretty quickly
If they bring back the full national dex and all the cut content, I'd actually be interested in playing the series again.
In the newest Pokémon go fest they had 3 starters spawn, Charmander, Snivy, and Mudkip. What if that’s the starter line up for Z-A
Excellent theory
It will be such a shame if we don't get a Kalos variant Empoleon with Napoleon's color scheme
@@theministeroftruelies4655Thats a great idea But I fear that it Will be a bit controversial considering Napoleon’s status in history (the Napoleon movie got people talking about how Napoleon was like H!tler)
Oh god is Mega Charizard Z coming to fruition?!
Says a lot about this franchise that increases in worker numbers and development times are more hype than the games themselves.
Don’t you love how Gamefreak is not willing to make anything on the side of Game Balance
Like I hope someone just gets hired that buffs old Pokémon and keeps new Pokémon from just being a better version of the same Pokémon
Big Facts. Gove all eeveelutions more expanded movepools and their second normal ability. Give me my Slush rush Glaceon.
Yeah I'm just saying go back to gen 1 and play a psychic Pokemon then tell me that they haven't balanced the game
As someone who used to work temp. They always say you could become permanent, but they never intend to make you permanent. They probably just put that there for legal reasons.
@@JoiIsakYT yep i have had that experience as well as temps i was working with at [redacted] we all stayed in contact with eadhother and confrirmed upon the end of our contracts no temp was hired and there was 78 of us, 85 but 7 of them never showed
I am still not trusting a word they say until the product is out and peer rewiewed.
I really hope that one day we will look back at the Switch games as an awkward phase the franchise went through and eventually grew out of
🎵It's about damn time🎵
They can hire as many as they want. But if they don't fix the company problems first then it won't matter.
Wow that's a LOT of jobs!
I really liked Scarlet and Violet. Now I'll be frank that I liked it because of how easy it was to go out of bounds. I hope the next games are graphically great, but let me slip into another dimension with ease, the void sea calls to me!
I'm keeping my expectations low for the quality to be better now but if they have more people and more time to actually make the damn games then I'll be hopeful
Honestly I'm glad that they are going to have alot of people working on the new game and happy that they admitted to wanting to improve the game design and performances since scarlet and violet had alot of bugs and lag and whatnot and it felt like they didn't take the time to work those out. So glad they working on that
Unfortunately with how greedy the Pokémon Company have been, this probably means quantity over quality for our games. Quantity = more money for them.
To piggyback off what I said, Junichi Masuda literally said this back when they announced the SWSH dex cuts... _"Rather than any actual feedback from players, it's more accepting the realities of modern life. Kids these days or even people who grew up playing Pokemon everyone is alot more busy. There are a lot more things competing for a person's time than there were back then. For example, there are so many free games you can play on your phone now, there's so many entertainment options, so making it a little easier to play is the reason for that."_ The perfect excuse for laziness. With that said, don't get your hopes up, I'm trying not to as well.
@@NaniTCGYeah, it’s true that a lot of companies, including Pokémon tend to care more about money than fans. However, that has been biting them in the butt recently as they were endlessly mocked for the Scarlet and Violet glitches. Hopefully, they are starting to listen. All we can do is watch and wait.
pretty sure we heard the same thing with S/V. This is just common to hear this, it doesn't mean anything at all.
It seems as they're going to outsource for the new IP *(They have to, since there team is small)*
and lets be real. GF can't do new IPs. GF at best they can do is Handheld/Mobile like games and even then it's still a big of a deal to them.
They intentionally keep their Dev team tiny to maximize profits for everyone. It says they're hiring, but never mentioned any layoffs or people quitting throughout the years.
It's more than likely replacing said empty slots that were open.
All in all, my expectations for GF will stay the same as always, down to the dirt. They can surprise me for sure. But this news says pretty much nothing at all.
and also, i get being all optimistic, but we can't simply ignore the years of evidence we have from this Dev team and what they've given us.
Its very unfortunate that while we wait for Legends ZA the Pokemon team dont drop updates for Scar/Vio. They could improve the graphics, improve certain special moves animations eg Fire Blast, new arenas to fight in, new music track, new costumes just to name a few. Sigghhh talk about missed opportunity to keep Scar/Vio relevant
Eh they don’t really care they know Pokémon fans are chumps and are akin to simps

Two things I'm hoping for. Firstly, a launch that takes way longer than Scarlet and Violet/Legends. Last few Pokémon games came out feeling rushed and under baked. A longer dev time is needed for this game to feel fully polished and refined. Second thing I'm hoping for is a switch two launch. That way the game will run on stronger hardware and as a result can probably run at a solid 60 fps and higher resolution. Game Freak are never going to push for higher fidelity so at least let us play at a decent frame rate.
I hope Game Freak doesn't take this to mean fans were unsatisfied with the graphics, animations, story, features and open world of Scarlet/Violet, cuz those were amazing. We want more like this, but better, always better.
The graphics could have been a lot better but I do like having textures on Pokémon. Everything else? Meh. The story wasn't bad but it wasn't breaking new ground either. The animation needs rehauling. You can't give empty air for a Pokédex anymore.
This. I love what they did with it, I just wish they'd patch up some problems. I'm hoping the Switch successor has backwards compatibility just so we can play SV at 60fps. I don't want these to go down in history as "the laggy one" or "the buggy one". Totk is in the same spot as SV which is even more of a reason I think the Switch 2 will have backwards compatibility but that's just my opinion.
Yeah I just want to be more polished really
@@hikaru9624I mean, it's a turn based game. Pokémon's story is all based around action we're told happened because they can't make pressing "A" feel like a history changing experience. That's why I REALLY hope they implement a Pokénn Tournament style battle system in the future (Obviously, an improved, Pokénn Tournament battle system) and possibly the PLA catching system. I feel hopeful that after all the criticism AND all the praise Game Freak has gotten during the Switch era that they'll take it all seriously and take the next game slower so it'll be higher quality.
@@Manopat243 I'm not convinced. They'll just carry on regardless.
To be fair witcher 3 had a tiny team, and cyberpunk had a multi-thousand team, a bigger team is not always better. Time and Management is always more important. We can see this with the halo trilogy and now infinite had the same problem, fallout new vegas vs fallout 76, battlefield 4 vs 2042.
A big team usually causes more confusion and lack of cohesion.
I hope they do it right.
The issue with Pokemon right now is that they keep hiring temp workers because their current team is outdated and don't know how to do anything that's new. with each new game since they're not using the same people as last time they're not carrying over good features.
So they have tons of new stuff that they have to consider and way more work to do but with an absolutely tiny amount of time in comparison
if anyone reading this is hired, can we get massive buffs for the delphox evolution line?
I wonder why your asking that
@@rebeccasutton2401idk man, i don’t see _anything_ that gives it away
@@rebeccasutton2401 Truly a mystery of the ages
hopefully new designer brings back the permanent Typhlosion back flames in his 3d and 2d models as well as the green shiny flames
I hope they don't mess this up
based on pokemon's track record i'm going to assume they will
Friendly reminder that not only have they been functioning off of that small team this whole time. Theyre budget for the mainline games has been the same since red and green/blue
I just want a game where we can do more things with our Pokemon. Been waiting forever for another Pokemon stadium game, why not just incorporate that into a main game. Not all of us want to battle with our Pokemon.
You hate Pokémon battling but that was all you did in stadium? Did you actually even play the game?
i can feel they all know that almost every fan saying "without the bugs and lags" scarlet and violet can fight for the game of the year or even be on par with the games in it. really hoping pokemon company let gamefreak expand and give them the support needed for a pokemon main line game to be nominated in that award or if not atleast give the fans a great graphic(i dont need HD if it will just remove content from my game), compelling storyline, and a new iteration to its predecessor. and i can feel those contractuals maybe will serve as a groundwork for the gen 10,, it must be big since it was the 10th gen of pokemon..
Please please let the new information release soon I am about to explode because ORAS AND XY were the first games I truly knew how to play Pokémon and beat while my first game was Pokémon black when I was 5 and didn’t know how to play but I got halfway through the game somehow and XY was the first Pokémon series I understood the show and story because I used to watch black and white but I enjoyed it and didn’t know what was happening so XY has a special place in my heart ❤🎉
I just hope the character designs are cool and actually look like trainers again…
Thank you Palworld you woke them up. 🎉
If I heard correctly if they are really skipping black and white remake I'm actually kinda upset as that's my favorite pokemon game 😢
I hope they hire some Voice Actors too 😆
I'm with you there, it will be a night and day difference no question about it.
@@codyblack7496 I loved duck detective simply because of how well the voice actors brought out the characters such a shame it's short game
People talk a lot about how TPC or Game Freak or "Pokémon" won't lift a finger to improve the series quality, but will outright refuse to acknowledge the steps they have taken to ensure future releases will be improved in both quality and development.
Over 9 minutes just to say they hired more people
Typical for Pokemon stans
The amount of high quality pokemon fan projects that are made shows there’s talent and passion out there, these big companies just need to set aside any pride and embrace them. These fans mirror the spark that gamefreak had when they first made pokemon games and together they could make amazing things.
Make sure our waiting is worth it
I just hope, whether directly or by backwards compatibility, the games can still be this ambitious without being on a console that's power is over a decade behind.
Breath. It sounded like you held your breath and tried to say everything on your mind in 1 exhale.
Finally. This is the biggest selling franchise in the world, Pokemon makes more money than most countries. But the problem is that it's almost entirely merch sales; this company is known for just putting out new designs, scraping by with the bare minimum in titles, and keeping their enemies series running on various levels of life support just to put out new designs, that they can put into plushies on cards on shirts and on stickers and sell to people.
The problem is that Pokemon has a massive massive overwhelming amount of potential. There's so much that you could do with the games and the people who played them, and I know it's a stupid decision to leave that on the table because that's so much more money this franchise could be making--not something I care about, but it's something that Nintendo and the Pokemon Company should 100% be invested in.
The announcement of a new groundbreaking title with amazing graphics and incredible new design and actual finished game development, could be something that shakes up gaming, even if you're just talking about stock prices and public hype.
After just watching the huge layoff of Bungie and death of Destiny 2, finally good news!!
Going from like 180 to around 210ish isn't going to do that much if they're working on multiple games at the same time. Pokémon franchise has made more money than anyone can even fathom and they still operate like a scrappy little indie studio in someone's garage somewhere, just makes no sense.
Pokemon games would be great if they parnered with bandai namco. Pokemon's biggest issue is the environment's are lack luster... bandai would hit it out of the park if they worked with game freak
Namco got their hands full with the Tales series
Hell no. I no longer trust Bandai after their recent anime games of Naruto to Boruto and their new Jujutsu Kaisen game being rushed slop.
Do you not remember Poken Tournament for the Wii U?
(Or Poken Tournament DX for Nintendo Switch?)
Gamefreak was still for a long time with the DS game dev mentality, where they could pump a game every year or two, have it be great compared to the standards, all that with smaller teams. Glad to see it seems like they're taking their time here AND expanding their team to fit more modern standards
The amazing news I'm looking for is "There's a new Pokémon game that is LIKE World of Warcraft but only Pokémon; a TRUE massive multiplayer online game!" I have been hoping for a mmo Pokémon game since a few years after World of Warcraft. It's a total no brainer! The fact that they haven't done it yet is infuriating.
Wow 38 new devs? They can make 19 more games a year now.
Gamefreak getting more time for the title is more reassuring than them looking for new staff tbh. New staff needs to be trained and more often than not slows development down on current projects if they are to be placed there.
Put project blue on hold until pokemon is fixed!
wtf do you mean fixed? What's broken about it? Is the battling broken? I don't get it.
wdym "fixed"? wats broken?
Well first off, there's the whole issue of cutting content from pokemon, such as pokemon and moves, that needs to stop. Then there's the issue of designing a game with buggy collision worse than even sun and moon.
And let's not forget how they ignored the QOL improvements from pokemon legends Arceus that they ignored in S/V.
@@suroguner for the last one at least, I believe it's not that they ignored the QOL improvements, but they developed the games with different teams at the same time. So each team tried things that were great on each game, but since they acted independently, the things they tried for legends arceus ended up not entering scarlet/violet. That being said, after both the good and bad criticism in both games, I believe we can expect the QOL features to make a definitive return from now on (or actually complain for being ignored if they effectively don't return)
The hype for pokemon legends Z-A will gradually build up come 2025. I'm hoping they revive or follow up Pokemon Ranger.
Honestly I wish Legends was for the switch 2. I’m just tired of un optimized first party games half the time. Just as bad as games that look like there trying to break through the switch in the hopes of finding a better system.
I hope gen 10 get the sword and shield art style
I will get my hopes all the way back up once the national dex is brought back.
Yup
I still have a mythical stuck in Pokémon home
Me too i would love that
If the pokemon franchise will be ending, then they need to release a game with all pokemon and you can get them all
@@JustAnotherTailsProfile I have entire boxes worth of Pokémon stuck!
Cautious optimism, as always, lest you set yourself up for disappointment. But a step in the right direction.
NO WAY!!! does this actually mean that GAME FREAK is heading in the right direction When it comes to quality titles??
Edit: i’m really hoping that S/V will be fixed someday because the game is still run awful.
Never. The state it's in now is it's final state. And I'm not convinced. This is Gamefreak after all. As things look to me they're just hiring more hands to crunch. But to be kind to a multi billion dollar company I'll say this much; at least they are hiring.
Game FREAKY
The game runs pretty fine, except some few rare bugs/graphic glitches. I played it absolutely OK. But need to mention, I played it on Ryujinx with my Ryzen 9 5900X/RTX 3080 10 GB
I can't wait to use my Mega Blastoise for ZA.
Non-sprite Pokemon games aren't real Pokemon games. Pokemon died with Black 2 and White 2.
It's very unfortunate but I can't really enjoy Pokemon anymore. It's so low effort, there's such little content, it's embarrassing to have so much money and resources and create the same exact "toddler hand holding friendship is beautiful Pokemon are our best friends bullshit over and over."
Every NPC says something about loving your Pokemon, or how to open your menu, or tells you love is the most important thing ever and at this point it's just fucking gay and boring. Pokemon is such a small narrow unfulfilling experience, every time.
Children haven't been Pokemon's main audience for 20 years, children are playing Fortnite, Black Ops, Apex Legends, Resident Evil, etc, the adults who enjoy complex stories and open worlds and narrative driven experiences are the ones buying Pokemon games, and all we get is the same AA bugged "love is the most important thing between you and your Pokemon" bullshit every two years. It's boring, and I'm not excited for a clone copy of the 3 year olds adventure. It's too childish and small and boring, every one of them.
Your voice sounds so rich, I hope we are rich in new Pokémon content soon
wake up
game freak do not learn
ever

For anyone who gets the job for Pokemon Design, if I may make a request (if Game Freak lets you I mean, since it is their studio), I vote for a regional variant for Beedril and a new evolution for it. Since it is the only Pokemon from the geni 1 Pokemon (that I know of) that hasn't gotten any love or new variation of any kind.
Pokemon would have had better treatment from Hoyoverse than Gamefreak if Nintendo cared about their games
They prioritized story and characters rather than game performance for scarlet and violet and I don’t think we should have to sacrifice one for the other.
I hope that Legends: Z-A comes out at the end of 2025, I'll buy it!! if it gets delayed to 2026, then its a immediate buy!! If it going to release at the beginning of the year with another game to launch at the end of the year, I'm never touching another Pokemon game again. I also hope that the extra man power helps as well!!
feel like the mic is peaking when you speak sometimes. Not necessary but applying an equalizer to your audio could help achieve a better sound I think
Me: I hope ZA is good
Everyone: Mega Evolution?!!
I really hope they include voice acting in Z-A though looking at the job list, I’m doubtful since there isn’t a “VA director”…
I don't get this obsession with voice acting, full voice acting in a game where you can choose a character's name is an inherently bad idea that leads to immersion-breaking workarounds. Grunt-based voice acting or heavily limited voice acting is one thing, but that's never what people mean, they always want full voice acting.
@@Missingno_Miner Voice acting could be like Pokémon Masters EX, just like you said. It helps a lot with long mute cutscenes. There's no need for full voice acting.
Pokémon can go back to being Pokémon. No matter how Japanese the series is, I would go back. I enjoy Kantō, Jouto, Houen, and Shin'ou-even with the new features that are fun.
This shouldn't have taken so long. They should've done it way back when they were barely starting to work on their Switch games, but only now that they've received backlash for the embarrasing state that their latest games have released in; they're willing to expand their work force.
If they had hired enough people in preparation for Pkmn Sw&Sh; we probably wouldn't have had de Dexit controversy in the first place.
It’s about time. They’ve made it abundantly clear that their current staff is not enough.
I'm not gonna hold my breath, that is what ILCA was for, to take the pressure off gamefreak so they could focus on main line games and we all know how that went. There best bet would have been to hire another studio to make the games while gamefreak designs the world and story. There is so much evidence out there that gamefreak is god awful at game development its a wonder how people still trust them.
Would be weird if they're hiring for Z-A after the announcement. To me this sounds like hiring for the next main series game, which is most likely in pre-production. Usually games don't get announced until they actually have a solid release date in mind which would indicate that Z-A is already in full production.
Shoot . Maybe now we can get all gen Pokemon games for the switch with no trade EVO . That’s what people mostly want
This should be a huge push towards the recruitment of different Pokémon Fan Game developers instead of punishing their fan base who are incredibly talented and inspired by GameFreak and The Official Pokémon Company to create the years worth of effort long projects they do.
Last time I checked up on JobTalk (Japan's version of Glassdoor), Gamefreak reportedly had 87 workers, in the span release S/V to both DLCs being dropped, I watched Gamefreak's score go from 4.2 stars to 3. Also contract hiring makes sense why people will leave in mass after the release of a Switch title.
Hiring more newbies then having their contract expire isnt gonna improve Pokemon. Gamefreak has to start focusing on smaller titles again so they can give their newer staff experience.
