Okay, quick Pokemon-related question: Has Nintendo mentioned anything whatsoever about a potential Switch version?
I've been wondering about this lately. I dont actually play the current versions very much, and the entire reason for that (pretty much the only reason) is that I cant constantly crane my neck down at the blasted 3DS when playing it. That's a recipe for major pain and/or a lockup, and too many painkillers. But the Switch can connect to my monitor. A big thank-you to Nintendo for THAT one. I'd actually be able to really jump fully into this instead of having to always do it in small bits at a time (hate that).
On the note of the topic here, I thought of a couple of other favorites: Forretress, which I may have spelled wrong, was always one I really liked. The idea of it was just cool, it had a neat design, and it worked well as a defensive floaty thing. And back when the ancient Gameboy versions came out, I took a particular liking to Venomoth too. Something about it really stuck out at me. Though of course the problem was that Venomoth was... not exactly very useful back then, since Poison types were just so easily wrecked in that version of the game (was hideously imbalanced, with Psychic types being nigh-unstoppable, and I dont mean Mewtwo). Heck, I remember even the Ghost types were easily smashed by Psychics, because all 3 ghosts were part Poison, and there was not much in the way of actual Ghost moves to use, so despite that they were supposed to counter Psychics, they... never did so. Same with Bug types (there were hardly any actual Bug moves, so they couldnt use that advantage). And Dark types didnt exist.
Really, it's amazing to look back on those and spot how terribly balanced they really were. But boy were they a good time. Lots of fond memories of the very first ones in the series.
Ugh, this is making me want to play some Pokemon, but I've had alot of pain lately, no way I could use the 3DS right now. Feh.
