Tomorrow is the 30th anniversary of Pokemon and there's a Pokemon Presents at 9am EST. I can imagine there will be some announcements given that it's a big milestone. What do you think is most likely, Gen 10 announcement?

Gen 10 most likely. Wouldn't be surprised if they announce a Johto game. Either in Let's Go or Legends styling.

Have you played Legends? I pretty well only played Sword/Shield on the Switch. I've heard decent things about the Legends games though.

I bought Legends Arceus last year. Played through a portion of the opening but it was a slog. The game looks like an upscaled Wii game lol. But the premise is interesting and the catching mechanic is fun.

Yeah the graphics on the Switch games is a huge turn off for me. And just how janky they are in general. Scarlet/Violet feel like they drop to 1 FPS, fucking annoying lol.

This is the anime section! Big announcement is Ash is turning 11 and eligible for his pension
Professor Oak and Professor Elm drama movie about growing old. Flashbacks of their relationships with pokemon they lost in the war.
Brock movie about driving in road races. One day his team tell him "hey Brock I've always wanted to know: how do you drive so well with your eyes closed?" and then Brock says "wait what?" and then realises he can't see, crashing and drying. Misty tries to save him with her Starmie, but it's an electric race car and she makes the fire worse. Ash tries to use rock smash, thinking it's super effective but he just kills the firefighters.

Wow 30 years. That can't be right. It came out only 2.5 years after I was born? Or 30 years since the game began development?

Imagine being older than Pokemon. Your life is finished.

Gen 10 looks good if that's actually gameplay footage. No reason why Scarlet/Violet couldn't do that when you got Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom looking great running on the same console.

I'm guessing every Pokémon game we saw on Switch was rushed to meet deadlines with anime, merchandise, etc. Pokémon isn't first party Nintendo developed unlike Zelda.

Switch 2 hopefully has enough power to help fix most of the issues, but it will also come down to optimisation.

Most of the issues were only present if you played your Switched docked. On the Light or handheld mode they were hardly noticeable so hopefully they aren't that bad.

You're probably old enough to be my dad.

I don't think it's normal to bully someone who is young enough to be your son. You should be ashamed of yourself.
