      Yeah, that sucks that this was overlooked, but ultimately it isn't that big of a deal. In essence the handful of evolution moments was just another event based picture taking opportunity, so as long as there are plenty of those, which there seem to be, it's all good.

      Not only that at all. There are now over 200 Pokémon (more than double the original's roster of 80-ish) and while that one just had Mew as and end-game special, this sequel has over 6 Legendries! The evolutions never really were a huge pull for me in the original anyway as you meet evolutionary lines in both games. Though, yes I would rather they had not dropped them. Anyhow, you also get the most beautiful visuals in a Pokémon game ever; I find them even better than Mario Odyssey's honestly

      @@netweed09 Yeah, I'm nearing the end of the game now "campaign" now, and I am completely pleased it. The star system alone more than makes up for lack of evolutions since with every Pokemon there are 4 different ways to trigger a picture type with every single one of them. That is way better, and effectively more content, than it simply being an event trigger to check one of 80 ish Pokemon off a list.

      While Pokkén looks good, the support for the Switch version sadly got dropped way too early. They never addressed for example the awful customization and achievement system.

To unlock all of the clothing one would have to play about an hour each day for four years nonstop anyways. XD
      The titles thing was only odd because there were a few ( I think 1 to 3) that nobody knew how to unlock, not even customer service. Nintendo directs you to the Pokémon folks who direct you to BandaiNamco who then directs you back to Nintendo.
      Had fun playing through Pokkén and leveled every fighter to 100, only thing that has been impossible for me to get were 2 draws. I always either win or lose a match. That two Pokémon knock each other out happens pretty much never. Even with two players cooperating I couldn't make it happen.
      Also while the DLC fighters were fun to play with, for their price there should have been at least two more Pokémon.

      I'm sure in the next 3 years some talented modders will make it possible. Yuzu and Ryujinx are already really great, so the first step is already done. Someone just needs to get it to render properly stereoscopically (harder than it sounds) and map the headset gyro to the controller gyro input. It wouldn't be as good as a native implementation with head and hand tracking but it would be enough to give the illusion of 3D depth and probably look great.

It was nice that the game is beatable in like, an hour, they quickly got the hang of it and adored it so much, they joined the notion of it needing to be remade for the Switch.

    Kinda sad that we lost some of these interactions. I loved the way they implemented the interactions in the first game. Being able to unite three magnemite to evolve into a magneton, throwing charmeleon in the pool of lava or the shellder on the slowpoke tail. Or even saving the jigglypuff from koffing so he could sing at the end of the stage. Such unique ways of evolving, giving another points of view with such personality. Even a pokemon getting mad at you for throwing a pester ball, finding out that a bulbasaur was in fact a ditto transformed.

    I'm glad to hear such a postive review to this, but it didn't really address the one concern I still have about the game and was hoping to find information about: The amount of different stages. Having split paths and different times of day sounds like a fantastic way to make the most of each stage, but that only helps so much, and if the game only has the 4 stages we've seen shown off so far, then even with those things, It'd still be a pretty major mark against it, IMO. I assume that that's something still under embargo, but I wish it was something you could have at least alluded to a bit in terms of if there's still a few more stages beyond the Park/Forest, Beach/Ocean, Desert, and Jungle or not.
