I have been eagerly anticipating this hack since many months ago. Even more impressive is the game being a binary hack instead of a decompilation hack.

By the by, are you familiar with Pokémon Amethyst?


...I jizzed in my pants. /joke/
I downloaded it but still didn't play yet. The good thing is the longer I wait to play, there is probably more time to improve the hack as the time goes on.

Almost all new pokemon look terrible and I don't know how can anyone with eyes like them
Well, pokemon designs were never good in the first place. I would rate any Shin Megami Tensei or Digimon monster design above it, they look cool and monstrous.
 
I just got an email from Pokémon Center saying my package has shipped and it’s supposedly arriving tomorrow. The weird thing is that the charge on my card was lifted a couple of weeks ago and, if the pattern from my last preorder is any indication, it’ll probably be properly charged either the day of delivery or in the days after (with Sunday and Tuesday being the most likely days).

That said I’ve received word that the Pokémon Fossil Museum exhibit at Chicago’s Field Museum is giving out a stamped Archeops promo card and it’s reselling for around $200. The only other Archeops card to go for around that much is the Secret Rare print from Dark Explorers (the Staff Archeops from Silver Tempest’s prereleases is around $25 and the IR from White Flare is less than $10).

I hate what the hobby’s become… :(

Have you seen the weird pumping on the prices of bulk cards? The dunsparce from JTG is rising to $4. The hobby is going to get much worse.

To be fair that’s because JTG’s Dunsparce is the preferred Basic for Dundunsparce draw (which is proving to be a viable draw engine if the results of Utrecht Regionals is any indication) since the only other Standard-legal Dunsparce is the 60 HP one from Paldea Evolved, a max HP you really don’t want in a Dragapult-heavy format.

Also, prices for Dunsparce JTG were decent until rotation. After that point it’s been rising until it hit said $3-$4 range at the beginning of the week and now it’s starting to drop.

EDIT: I forgot to mention in my previous post that tickets to the Pokémon Fossil Museum at the Field Museum are separate from general admission, tickets for the museum cost $30 and the tickets for the event are an additional $30. That still doesn’t justify the $200-$250 price range for the promo.

That makes more sense, but it’s still dumb to see people trying to pump and generate FOMO for bulk cards. It’s a common card still in print, you can find a playset in most bulk boxes.

It’s just like the ho-oh promo from gamestop: the prices you see for them are now determined by resellers and the retarded collectors who buy from them.
 
Bad news for Pokemon GO

Mega Mewtwo X and Mega Mewtwo Y:
Pokémon GO_2026-05-23-20-29-02.jpg
1000113900.jpg

(The second picture is a rumor, but it seems to be very likely since I think you can calculate the final mega evolution cost for all Megas)

Starts with a cost of 7500 Mega Energy, then 150 energy per Mega Evolution on subsequent

Maximum Mega Energy Capacity is 5,0000

It's a Z-A Mega so if you want to remote raid you need to pay Link Cables + Remote Raid pass (don't bother unless you are truly desperate)

Likely no bonus Mega Energy for completing raids and still 450 energy per Mega Mewtwo raid

Only saving grace is if you catch a Mewtwo in GO Fest it will always have at least one Mega Level in


This is going to be borderline unplayable like Eternatus last year especially for old players/veterans.

(For context Eternatus in Pokemon GO requires 8960 XL to max the level of but the Max Battles only give like 50 to 90 candy XL and you can only stack a finite amount of Max Particles. There's a LOT of Eternatus Max battles but it doesn't matter. You also get only one so 96% of the chance it has bad IVs. It's some legitimate DSP "GAIS GIMME SUM SUPPORT" level cynical pay to win bullshit to the point where it has caused a gigantic crash out for around 2 days as massive as Scarlet and Violet or Pokemon Champion's release.)

And if you're wondering about Niantic and Scopely remember they can't get anything through without permission/enabling GameFreak, so if a P2W crashout happens remember GF is likely accountable too.

Note that no other Niantic-Scopely game has this issue, not that I am aware of at least, seems like ONLY Pokemon GO. Not even Monster Hunter, not even Pikmin.

Oh yeah, remember when everyone last year were all “I am done with Go because the Saudis bought it”… then slithered back not a week later.
It was predictable, those Go autists who spent years and years doing raids , community free shiny days and battling. There was simply no way they would just drop all this cheesy shit just because of a change in ownership that means nothing at the end.
Speaking of Splcopely, did something truly changed? Last I checked Niantic is still on charge

The only true negative consequence that took place was a separation between Niantic’s own games and the rest. For example, I used to play Ingress to build portals then this same data was reflected to Pokemon Go instantly. Sadly, since that Splcopely shit this can’t be done anymore
Or rather, now you have to do a double job everytime you want to create a portal in Ingress and a stop in Go.

As far as I know you still need to use wayfarer. I stopped making pokestops for a while because people were reporting getting banned permanently for bad nominations. I'm sure the reports were lying/exaggerating, but I can't be sure and don't want to risk it. No point in submitting pokestops I will probably rarely use if ever. I've made hundreds of stops and it's still not clear to me when something will be put in game or rejected. I've had some nominations rejected in the past that I was certain were good, then some that were put in after Niantic made the rejection appeal system and I appealed a rejection.

Very unsatisfying system, that seems to work, but rarely feels worth it. Doesn't seems any different under "Scopley."

I recently made some new pokestops that I was sure I would use daily and all got approved and put in game within a week. I used to use the "ingress intel map" and check before submitting if there was a chance the stop would be in game. Didn't check it this time and just guessed, but the ingress intel map would be how you would check if pokestops/ingress portals are still in sync. I don't think it is anymore because Max battle portals are now a thing and those follow an entirely different ruleset that is removed from wayfarer sometimes.

You can still check ingress intel if you want to know what stops aren't in sync with pokemon go anymore https://intel.ingress.com/
 
Megas killed pokemon.

Pokemon never grows and never evolves because it's entirely built around gimmicks now. Keep everything the same but add a new gimmick to sell the new toys. Give a few kanto pokemon the gimmick and the usual popular ones. Then do it again the next game. Megas is what stopped pokemon growing as a game series because it literally set the foundation of Get hyped for the next thing every single release.
You are a pink triangle, meaning you automatically have no worth in a discussion.

They seem to be slightly less stingy on giving out wild spawns unlike with Niantic. Although unlike with WWE Champions it seems like Scopely still can't do anything with their games without permission from something like Capcom or GameFreak, meaning that GF likely approved a lot of the scumbag moves as long as the core gameplay loop isn't jeopardized by monetization (or any other actual Scopely business practices) on a massive scale.
 
Take this with a grain of salt, but apparently, Winds And Waves will feature multiple endings.

Sounds like bullshit since it's a baby game for autistic children but then you remember Nintendo want every Nintendo game to be BOTW. I can see most of this happening due to not understanding the franchise and chasing Zelda yet again.
 
I mean, this formula could honestly work for Pokemon imo. At least when it comes to the exploration and adventure element, as it could bring back a sense of wonder to the series.

I'm honestly excited for Winds And Waves. And it has been a while since I've actually been excited for an upcoming Pokemon game.
I'm excited for Winds and Waves in the same way I loved the Scarlet and Violet launch.
It was a fucking mess, all the leaks on /vp/ were more fun leading up to the release than the games themselves, hell even now the games are still janky trash with little redeeming qualities.

I just hope /vp/ can pull this off a second time.

Leveling system breaks an open world game. You can't go any where and do anything if you're underleveled in a JRPG format. And if the game scales to match you then there's no progress. They tried the first approach last time found and it just failed. There was no sense of progression and if you tried to explore at all you ran into overleveled story content. Plus there was no sense of pokemon progression because everything was catchable straight out the gate. Who needs weedle when you can spend 2 minutes on your mascotmon and pick up a scyther?

I trust they will deliver again, at least I hope so
I personally predicting Oct / Nov 2027 as release date hence we are in for a very long drought… unless if whoever responsible for the Teraleak got another surprise for us next October

My wishlist: leaking a long gameplay footage with an animated watermark of nothing but “Nigger” all over it. Why animated? I learned from other boards this will make cleaning the footage Ten times harder
