Chit-Chat: Watch out for Ghosts...

It'd depend on how they handle it, I expect. I mean, nothing is confirmed yet...and really, divisions in a fanbase as large as Pokemon are only natural. Every new game splits the fanbase up further.

51. They seem to be going with this alternate reality phase. First oras and now usum. Also the 20th anni movie.

 

[Hikamaru]

52

This alternate universe theme is really causing issues with the official timeline.

 

[pkmin3033]

53

Timeline matters about as much for Pokemon as it does for Zelda, though...

 

[Hikamaru]

54

And then there's the director of the new movie admitting that Ash is an eternal 10 year old who won't age.

 

[pkmin3033]

55

Well, that's nothing major...I mean, there's no real need for the franchise to change things like that. It'd be far too risky a move to make, and just because the original target audience has aged does not mean the actual target audience has. As always, its the fans that change, not the franchise.

If they are doing so, they must have some plans..
But I'm sure it will affect the viewershio

 

[pkmin3033]

57

I sometimes wonder if GF have any plans at all outside of just releasing the same titles over and over again...they don't really NEED any plans, since its been working for over 20 years just fine.

I fail to see how its messing with the timeline to begin with tbh.

 

[Hikamaru]

59

I'm so bored with the lack of US/UM news, to the point I have to watch random YouTube videos to keep me motivated.

 

[pkmin3033]

Nothing else you're looking forward to that you can look up to distract yourself? Or other games you could play?

 

[Hikamaru]

61

I have to watch random comedy videos, or at least have something I can laugh at.

 

[pkmin3033]

62

Fair enough~

...I wish I had your enthusiasm, haha.

 

[alisaie]

63.

I'm doing a challenge on Pokemon Crystal, which I suppose wasn't the greatest idea when GS is coming on eshop in the few months but eh, whatever.

 

[Hikamaru]

64

Thankfully I have other fandom stuff to entertain me until the inevitable US/UM news coverage kickoff.

 

[alisaie]

65.

I actually want to play hgss again but i need another cartridge to do that. Johto is still my favorite after all these years.

 

[pkmin3033]

66

I keep thinking I should give Gen V another chance, as its the only gen I've played once and once only, but I just can't bring myself to do it...

 

[alisaie]

67.

Gen 5 would be my least played as well, I believe. Funny when you enjoy it more when doing a Furret solo run than a normal run.

 

[pkmin3033]

68

I didn't enjoy Black at all...not for a single second. But Black 2 wasn't so bad, mostly because I had a much better team from the get-go. It really does make a huge difference as to what you can use. That's why I gave up on my initial Sun playthrough too.

Whilst I preferred White 2 to Black I enjoyed the first Unova game. The monkeys being forced on you in BW early on does not help though. Gen 5 introduced some of my favourite Pokemon especially Lilligant.

Sinnoh is my least favourite region. The DP Pokedex is terrible and the pace is slow. Platinum was a little better but the Elite Four were still poor. Some of the Pokemon like Garchomp were good though.
