| The community's reaction to TPCi's lawsuit is overblown and largely unfounded Posted: 26 Nov 2019 09:05 AM PST This is a post adapted from a comment I made in another thread so that it can get greater visibility to try and combat some misconceptions. I'm not a lawyer and this post is not legal advice. This is general knowledge about contract actions and complaint drafting. Okay there is a lot of misinformation going around about this issue, and there is a feedback loop where misinformation breeds more misinformation. People looking to be mad about something that simply isn't worth getting mad about. What this lawsuit is NOT about: Going after random people who uploaded the game, datamined the game, or exposed issues with the game pre-release. What this lawsuit IS about: Locating contractors who worked on a strategy guide, who signed NDAs, who breached those NDAs, and preventing them from leaking any additional secrets they might have. (Small edit thanks to helpful comment by /u/newaccountwut below: The defendants are unknown at this time, and the nature of the suit will change when/if they are located. They may not specifically be contractors, although it's reasonable to assume for our purposes that the leaks at issue initiated with people who had access to the guide. The rest of this information about the language of the complaint still applies.) Basically this is a breach of contract action against contractors who broke NDAs. "Damages" is the term for what you get when someone breaches a contract. There doesn't have to be literal damage, the damage is the breach. The default remedy for damages is money, either the cost of replacing what you lost or the difference between what you got and what you would have had if the contract had been fully performed. "Irreparable damages" means that money can't repair the breach, either because it's impossible to calculate the loss or because it's not something money can fix. You claim "irreparable damages" when you want an injunction. An injunction is when the court makes someone do something or prevents them from doing something. If you actually go and read the complaint, you'll see that this is exactly what TPCi wants. They want the court to order the contractors not to give out any other information they might have about TPCi's products. Why is TPCi doing this? To protect the enforceability and strength of their NDAs going forward. Basically it's a signal to all their other partners not to breach their agreements. This isn't about heroic leakers exposing the flaws of a game. It doesn't matter whether the game was a best seller or a dud. It's a mundane, totally standard, run of the mill breach of contract action against a handful of specific people who had specific access. The community needs to stop searching for things to complain about and stirring up controversy about issues that are utterly non-controversial just to feed the disappointment-discussion loop around these games.

| Posted: 26 Nov 2019 05:50 AM PST GameFreak said the franchise is not their top priority anymore. (And it showed) I think Nintendo should give GameFreak a year or two off from making Pokemon games and give it to a well trusted studio that is passionate about the Pokemon franchise and knows the ins and outs of the games. An example would be when Bethesda gave Obsidian a shot at making a Fallout game (New Vegas) and it's regarded as one of the best of the Fallout Series. [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 26 Nov 2019 04:16 AM PST After more critics have finally gotten their hands on copies of the new Pokemon games (only 25 review copies were sent out before release), the Metacritic rating is currently sitting at 80 for Pokemon Sword and Shield with 61 reviews: https://www.metacritic.com/game/switch/pokemon-shield These are the lowest-rated Pokemon all-new (new region, generation etc), core RPGs in the series ever. They are also the third-lowest overall behind enhanced versions Let's Go (78/100) and Emerald (76/100). They are tied with Pokemon Black 2 and White 2, also at 80/100. [link] [comments] | ||

| Sword and Shield has encouraged me to approach the game differently and I love that. Posted: 26 Nov 2019 06:52 AM PST Typically I get a team of six rolling and stick with that team for the whole game. I'll swap a few out here and there but usually 5 of the slots are "set" and I bring in a type advantage to each battle. Now, with access to the Box Link, the wild area and exp share making it less of a grind I find myself playing with all six slots. Carrying around one or two high levels to train up a team specific for each gym. I've been playing with a larger variety of Pokemon than ever, and it's not too time consuming or grind oriented. I'm really enjoying playing this game a big differently than I have in the past. I definitely credit the Box Link for a big part of that. I know a lot of people aren't happy with the game, but I'm having a blast with it. Edit: Yes, I know that the Box Link isn't new to the franchise. [link] [comments] | ||
| Ten reasons why dexit is great for the pokemon franchise Posted: 26 Nov 2019 07:37 AM PST Dexit was a controversial move on GameFreak's part but now that we've got to play the new games it appears that dexit is not as bad as it seems. Mr.Ohmori, director of GameFreak announced the national dex won't be returning in the future. For this post GameFreak is "GF" (oh boy I can think of so many similarities between GF and your girlfriend). So now here are ten reasons how the cut of the pokedex benefits the franchise :

| Posted: 26 Nov 2019 08:40 AM PST Title. I've compiled a list of features that should have become series staples after being introduced but somehow were dropped soon after for GF's bullshit reasoning, or are only implemented in some games but not others. These range from things that contribute to world-building, making the in-game world seem more realistic and alive, to features that enhance re-playability and extend the post-game. I also included suggestions for improvements to such features. These will be separated into categories and ranked from most to least important to bring back, in my opinion: WORLDBUILDING / IMMERSION:
GAMEPLAY:
CUSTOMIZATION / AESTHETIC TOUCHES:

| Posted: 26 Nov 2019 06:26 AM PST Its the one thing I feel Yu-Gi-Oh! has done right in one regard and its given us an interesting new face to look at every new generation of the show. Plus the writers of the show don't have to come up with weird or stupid reasons why a kid from 97/98 is still "10 years old". Especially now that Ash has won a league it would be nice if he took a retirement and allowed a new protagonist to take over. Maybe I'm in the minority on this opinion, but I would of liked to have seen Gold, Brendan, Lucas, Hilbert, etc be the protagonist during their respective generations. [link] [comments] | ||

| I think a big leap forward for Pokemon would be if you played an adult trainer. Posted: 26 Nov 2019 07:36 AM PST I know it wouldn't fix gameplay problems those would have to be addressed by GF but i imagine the story would immensely benefit if you could be an adult. They could drop a lot of the childlike themes, develop more gruff looking pokemon, maybe step away from the handholding, and create a story that has a more adult feel to it. [link] [comments] | ||
| The Battle Tower in this generation is the most disappointing it has ever been. Posted: 26 Nov 2019 06:44 AM PST Spoilers ahead for anyone wanting to find out about the battle tower themselves. Before I tell you about the battle tower from this gen, let me outline the battle tree from last gen. It had normal singles and doubles matches and then after a set streak, you unlocked super singles and super doubles. The super versions offered more varied and difficult challenges and offered better rewards as you climbed the tiers. For every 10 teams you defeated(up to 50), it would award you more BP than the last tier. If you lost your streak, you had to start over again from the beginning. At the end of a 10 win streak, you would face a "boss" trainer who varied from previous champions, rivals from previous games and elite four from previous games. There were some BS teams, but I liked the challenge that it brought to team building. I played a TON of the battle tree and used all the BP I earned to create new teams with different pokemon. Now for the battle tower. There are several tiers that you climb up through that give you more and more increasing rewards as you climb. This is pretty cool, however it reaches a maximum after several tiers. After that, you no longer get rewards aside from BP. Now, I don't think this would be a big deal if it actually offered a decent amount of BP. But you get 2 BP no matter how high you go. Aside from this, losing has no impact on your tier or ranking. Losing literally does not matter. But with the new option of having rental teams, it's hard to even do that. I went through the entirety of the doubles tiers with just the rain team and barely ever even lost a pokemon. It's laughably easy, as the only person who actually dynamaxes is Leon, who is also the only boss the battle tower offers. All in all, it's very disappointing. I know that a lot of people didn't like how previous versions of the battle tower/battle tree/whatever have turned out, but I was happy that they usually at least offered a challenge with scaling rewards. This just sucks and feels bad to play after you get to master rank. I was going to set up a team to use in the battle tower but I've just sort of lost interest after learning how difficult it is to earn BP in it. [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 25 Nov 2019 10:28 PM PST After playing through SwSh, I initially met every encounter with Ballguy with a sense of endearment. After all, it's hard not to love the funny Pokeball man who gives you rare balls for free every time you meet him. But now that I'm in the postgame, I can't look at him the same. After beating the game I spent countless hours finishing up my dex in order to get the shiny charm. From there I started my quest: to breed a perfect IV shiny Obstagoon. Countless hours of breeding and EV training later, and I have it. Ok, nice, all I need now is a Flame Orb to complete my Guts set. But it's not that simple. For some god forsaken reason, there's no way to find the Flame and Toxic Orbs in the wild in Sword and Shield, and they can't be purchased for BP or Watts. Instead, it's only known location is as a reward in the Championship Rematch Tournaments, as a random chance of it being granted to you by Ballguy. I've run through the trainers in this "challenge" for hours now, with my level 100 Obstagoon essentially one shotting everything. But still no flame orb. Each time I grind through the supposed nest trainers, Ballguy greets me. But instead of handing me my desired item, instead he gives me 5 great balls. Or 3 Quick Balls. Or 3 Nuggets. I am essentially the most powerful person in the entire continent, with millions of dollars in my pockets and more pokeballs then mons I will ever need to catch. And yet somehow he thinks he's helping me. He walks out every time, congratulates me, does a little dance, and hands me garbage. I hate Ballguy. I hate his smile. I hate the nerve of him, using RNG to gate me away from a vital competitive item then taunting me by rubbing his Nuggets in my face. Each time I see his dance I am reminded of the painful grind in this game and I question every decision I've made in my entire life. [link] [comments] | ||
