(I forgot to mention this is said early because I'm going to sleep as of immediately, so I will miss the first bunch of hours of its availability)

Alright, at the time of writing this, time is about 30 minutes away from the release of Pokémon Legends: Z-A, so I will be taking a momentary leave from all social media because I'm hell-bent on avoiding spoilers for once, lmao

Not that anyone cares, but you know

Ever heard of this Pokémon known as Eldegoss?
It is pretty cool... except during camping, because the bloody thing is so cod damn slow to move that it takes literally over a minute to walk from furthest parts of the camping area... when it could just FLY towards me like a Whimsicott...

Lemon? Extremely good, for sure

TheLEGObrick @thelegobrick.bsky.social · 1d

Yep, those lot are shoving their AI garbage to literally everywhere, presumably in an attempt to make people think it's worth anything, which it is not, as that results massive monetary losses for them

I only need to say the name:
Half-Life 2

Like, that game is from 2004, and it has all the graphics I would EVER need from a video game, pretty much no need to go more complex than what it has

Show me what you think is the best looking game ever regardless of how old it is

TheLEGObrick @thelegobrick.bsky.social · 1d

This actually works, because Chikorita is somewhat flower-based? Well, less so than its evolutions but still

Pokémon Updates Bot @pkmnupdatesbot.bsky.social · 1d

Hypno has defeated Chikorita to create a flower masterpiece.

TheLEGObrick @thelegobrick.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah, it would definitely be cool, not just having to fight generic monsters

TheLEGObrick @thelegobrick.bsky.social · 1d

Interesting

TheLEGObrick @thelegobrick.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah, The Legend of Zelda has a very distinct ally-enemy system, pretty much in all (mainline) games that I know of, every character from specific races are either allies or enemies to Link, there is no race that has both at the same time (except Hylians with Yiga Clan existing)

I'm sorry, what??
They've added skins to fucking Angry Birds?

TheLEGObrick @thelegobrick.bsky.social · 1d

Yes and no. Pokémon Legends: Z-A takes everything from normal Pokémon games, and then tosses it out of the window; it is insanely different from the normal games, but that won't be a problem if you don't know anything of the normal games in the first place, lmao

TheLEGObrick @thelegobrick.bsky.social · 1d

Pardon

TheLEGObrick @thelegobrick.bsky.social · 1d

Oh yeah...

I suppose there is lore reasons to why Yiga is just presumably Hylians, as they're people who were part of Sheikah who used to work for the royal family; other races weren't part of that stuff so they wouldn't have the same spite

TheLEGObrick @thelegobrick.bsky.social · 1d

I honestly like this, means they're no longer hell-bent on keeping old things like how they were in the past; the design differences of old and... less old Pokémon, are quite considerable...

This is definitely a thing that is said in Pokémon Sword/Shield Expansion Pass's Isle of Armor story, I totally did not spend far too long to make the edit

Can't say I'm surprised, after all Tenta Brella CRE-M is its best kit

It is good to respect the official release times

TheLEGObrick @thelegobrick.bsky.social · 2d

This is... even remotely not false...?

At least Wyrdeer is pretty strong and imposing, similar to Bowser, unlike its pre-Evolution Stantler

Pokémon Updates Bot @pkmnupdatesbot.bsky.social · 2d

Wyrdeer is considered to be Bowser.

Good thing Nintendo is not present on Bluesky so it is impossible for them to become aware of this

TheLEGObrick @thelegobrick.bsky.social · 2d

New Pokémon games are so unserious...

In Sword, I was about to face the Water Gym; I came across an Eldegoss which I caught, at level 22, gave it Magical Leaf from Grass Gym, and proceeded to demolish every Trainer in the Gym, outspeeding AND one-shotting everything, with almost no preparation...

Pokémon Sword, party Pokémon view showing a level 24 male Eldegoss caught in a Poké Ball, showing it was caught at level 22.

Pokémon Sword, view in the Water Gym stadium, showing Dynamax Eldegoss and Dynamax Drednaw, with the text "Grass grew to cover the battlefield!", which was caused by Eldegoss using Max Overgrowth

Oohhh... That is very cool...

Chat, anyone know how to alleviate Pokémon addiction? I succumbed to madness and ended up getting Pokémon Sword (+ Expansion Pass) and New Pokémon Snap, increasing my currently owned Pokémon games to 5...

...Two months ago I had ONE Pokémon game...

Insane in a good way, or a bad way? ...Or both? Lmao
