General Discussion

With the final trailer just dropping and the game releasing next week, are you excited? The trailer made me weirdly emotional, a wave of happiness and excitement washing over me as I watched with a smile permanently on my face! I don't know why but this game has sparked that childhood nostalgia of pokemon for me once more and can't wait to play it.

Thankfully our local game stores have decided to open up sooner to get your copies and despite having classes that day, I am bringing my switch to school to play whenever I can! To think Pokemon could make this adult feel like a giddy child again haha!

I'm soooo excited. It is probably Unwise for a student to spend 60$ on random nintendo game #5 but I will always lob my money at gamefreak no matter what LOL

@Myself

big mood xD luckily was able to sell some old games I didn't play anymore to gather funds for Violet with 0 regrets! Had to stop myself from ordering the steelbook version though lol gamefreak has me in a vice grip

I'm excited to play it, but at the same time I feel like we barely know anything about the game despite being a week from release. The new ways they've been trying reveals are cool, though I miss when it was just "here's a new Pokemon!".

@MaplesHaiku

I feel that too that we really don't know much but I actually really like that! We didn't see ANY new pokemon evolve so it will be up to us to discover them and I honestly love that! Brings me back to the time black/white came out and I know 0% of the game and kept getting excited seeing a pokemon I never saw before xD

I personally like the minimal info we got but I know it isn't for everyone as someone else I know will be looking at all leaks before buying to see if the game is "worth" their time (while I avoid leaks like the plague lmao)

Super excited! Can´t believe that they are already releasing it next week. I wasn´t excited about pokemon games like this for years! And since I already graduated from College there will be plenty of time to play. Can´t wait! xD

@Silverwolf123

Wish that were me but with some luck I can no life all weekend >:3 Need to speedrun to find all the new lads cuse I need to find out what smoliv and fidough evolve into xD

Pretty stoked about it actually! It'll be my second Pokemon game proper after Arceus*, and I think I finally solidified my choice of starter!

*By that, I mean I've only ever played non-traditional Pokemon games like New Pokemon Snap, Pokemon Puzzle League, Pokemon Cafe Remix, and Pokemon GO.

I am SUPER excited! You don't even know

@Loniface

ooo hope you enjoy a mainline game!! After some debating, I think I will be picking fuecoco but man these starters are good! Haven't felt this excited for a pokemon game since black 2/ white 2!
