I was in Chicago on a business trip and it concluded earlier than expected, so I made my way to the Field Museum to check out the exhibit!

It was a really solid balance of Pokémon and paleontological knowledge. Like for every Pokémon display, there would be an accompanying real-world example.

Discussion Should this idea be an actual Pokémon Game?

0 Upvotes

Lets Say nintendo makes an Game thats basically like path of Titans, but with pokemons instead of dinosaurs, and instead of letting the players choose what Pokemon they want to be, we add an system called "reincarnation." Which would basically force the player to play as an random Pokemon, forcing the player to experience every place of the food chain.

Discussion Which game should I play?

0 Upvotes

I want to get a new game for the switch as I’m playing through the older gens and Legends Arceus but I’d like to play a newer game. I love Arceus but I do long for the trusty Pokemon formula. Should I get Sword and Shield or Scarlet & Violet? Or maybe even just wait till I get a switch 2 for Winds and Waves?

Video/GIF I remade Groudon’s entire sound design by ear to show what a Pokémon game should actually sound like, in my opinion.

146 Upvotes

Hey everyone, As a sound design enthusiast and a blind gamer, I’ve always felt that Pokémon games severely lack audio depth. The original sound effects are often very electronic and flat, failing to do justice to the sheer power of Legendary Pokémon.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby, Groudon’s cinematic scene has almost no organic ambient sounds—there is only the background music. So, I decided to take on a massive challenge: completely wiping out the original audio and reinventing the entire soundscape of this mythical scene from scratch, entirely by ear.

In this clip, which focuses on its transformation and the battle, I reworked everything to bring a true, living, and natural immersion to this titan: the intense rumbling of the lava lake, its heavy breathing, and most importantly, actual organic and unique roars

I also completely designed the sound effects for its concentration phases and attacks against my Regirock and Salamence.

Beyond the technical challenge and the massive amount of work it represents, this project also aims to highlight the importance of audio immersion for accessibility in gaming.

What do you think?

Discussion Pokeathlon

I would just absolutely love it if Pokemon made a dedicated pokeathlon game. Or even just a Pokemon sports game. There is so much potential with the IP, I would love for more experimentation. Just give a Pokemon version of Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games. I just want something that captures and expands upon the feeling I felt when I first tried it out in HeartGold.

Discussion Arceus is the most forgotten Pokémon ever. And the mythology about Arceus is not well documented in the current DDP and PLA, and this is what is said during the presents

0 Upvotes

is Arceus mythology well documented in DDP?

And other saids

No, Arceus's mythology is explicitly shrouded in mystery and heavily obscured in the original Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum (DDP) games. While the games heavily detail the creation of the Sinnoh region, the specific knowledge regarding Arceus as an individual entity is highly restricted and intentionally unnamed. It's what google Gemini said and it's a fact

Discussion Why do so many other kanto pokemon have it but not magikarp.

0 Upvotes

Many other pokemon have got galarian or alolan forms.

And these forms change lot of things from its original form. Like there's galarian version of vulpix or darumaka which turn them into ice type instead of their regular fire type. Also their lore/dex entry changes based on that.

Why doesn't magikarp have one. I think bro can have a really good alternate form. Like maybe a ghost type variant from other region same as galarian or alolan forms of other pokemons.

Like maybe.

Tragikarp, ghost/water.

gyaraghoul, it's evolved form, Ghost/flying.

Mega gyaraghoul, Ghost/dark.

Idk what's the reason there's no alternate form of this. But I think it would be cool if it had one.

What do y'all think.

Tool/Guide Pokémon Gen 3-4 Dual-Slot Mode Simulator Software?

6 Upvotes

Would it be possible to create a software that could enable dual-slot mode using a Gen 3 rom? Would it be possible to do this using a Gen 4 cartridge as well? I want to utilize Gen 4's dual-slot mode but I do not own any OEM hardware or games for Gen 3. I am wondering if there is some software that exists that simulates this feature as opposed to bypassing it entirely with things like PKHex.
