Description:
Pokemon - media franchise, which started February 27, 1996 in Japan with the release of Pokemon Red and Pokemon Green games developed by GameFreak and published by Nintendo for their portable console GameBoy. In the future, to promote the game and diversification Nintendo income, GameFreak and Creatures (company creating plush toys, card games and rarely helps in the development and production of a pokemon content) created the company The Pokémon Company, which is engaged in the creation associated with the universe of Pokemon products: themselves games as the main series and spin-offs, manga, anime, cartoon, plush toys, card games, as well as in the summer of 2019 in the cinemas showed the first feature film based on the universe - Pokemon. Detective Pikachu.

The main game series:
Pokemon (main series) traditionally comes only portable consoles Nintendo and technically Nintendo Switch - the first console that Nintendo is positioned as a stationary including, where will play the main Pokémon series. Game of the main series are usually described as a kind of RPG (sometimes of JRPG), in which the protagonist (teenager 8-12 years, yes, the game is initially focused on children) comes out of the parental home with a bunch of money, pokebolov (the device for "capture wild Pokémon") and abstract the common goal to become the best Pokemon trainer.
Distinctive features of the main series:
- New parts are released simultaneously in two editions, which differ in the types of Pokemon available to catch inside, coaches, opponents, evolutions and sometimes plot details and features of the gameplay.
- in the plot the plot is secondary, usually the protagonist is opposed to the team of "villains", which seeks world domination, enslavement / liberation of a rare type of pokemon, etc. A deeper ENT in the games of the series seems to be there, but it is extremely not logical and not consistent, so much so that even the publishing company itself doesn’t like to talk about it almost immediately after it deleted).
- due to the lack of an explicit chronology and end-to-end storyline, the games are not divided into number parts, but into generations (Gen1, Gen2, etc.) related to the sequence in which the gamefics add new Pokémon to the games.
- the games of the main series will start with a brief training, after which the local Pokemon professor suggests choosing one of the three starting Pokemon with which GG begins the journey. The narration is linear, the hero is required to defeat the leaders of the halls, after which the hero is asked to defeat "Elite 4" - four "bosses", followed by the "final boss" - the coach rival, and after that the game is considered to be passed, you can just walk around the region and collect pokemon
- the map inside the game world is called a region, and it is divided into paths (Route) and hubs / cities, in which wild pokemon can be found in thick grass, in the shade, in water or in snow.
- for some time in the middle of zero, gamefricos experimented with different features of gameboy, nintendoDS, distributing exclusive pokemons or exclusive evolutions of pokemons during events (holidays, parties, presentations), and therefore in some pokemon it was impossible to get without cheats.
- usually gamefrick adds the ability to transfer Pokémon from its other games to its games, but up to 5-6 generations this is done using non-free wires, which not everyone naturally had.
The list of games of the main series by generations:

Where to start, if you have never been interested in the games of the series:

Hello everyone, who can say what is the difference between the "sword" version and the "shield"? If I understand correctly, the starting pokemon (?) And some rare ones (they were only in one of the versions) depended on the version earlier. But here it seems 3 starting



Rep: (71)
* DrKoteika,
not yet announced the differences of versions, but judging by the previous parts, it will be:
1) there will definitely be “exclusives” for a specific version of the Pokemon that cannot be caught, and to get them in the game you will need to use the Pokémon exchange feature between games.
2) Exactly in different versions, different rivals of the main character and the hall leaders have a different set of pokemons.
3) it is possible that for each version there will be unique evolutions of the starting Pokemon (mega-evolution was different in the previous parts)
4) it may be slightly different in-game mechanics. for example, in Pokemon Sun (seventh generation), in-game time was directly dependent on real time (as many as IRL, so much in the game), and in Pokemon Moon, the time was reversed (if I had 15:00, the game would be 03:00)

judging by the "leaks", the theme of these parts will be Pokemon-worn weapons / armor, perhaps for example in Pokemon Sword there will be items that Pokemon can use as a weapon, and in Pokemon Shield there will be items that Pokemon can wear as armor, but for now this is speculation.

The following news, I think, should be expected closer to the summer (E3 direct for example).

What I noticed from the video.
The mechanics from the lets go that I liked, when you can’t see wild Pokemon on the map will not transfer. At 1.26 (https://youtu.be/oOPVBm0sA7Q?t=86) there are frames where the character goes through the bushes, an invisible enemy attacks him and the action moves to the battle screen. Fight by the way is also shown standard, using its pokemon.

* Swim3r,
Yes, Pokemon again on the grass will have to look. if it is possible to extract something good from those games, then this.
more and Pokemon, following you as in Letsgo either. I do not know, it also looked interesting in letsgo, and in past parts.

June 5 at 16:00 Moscow time on the Nintendo channel on the yutab will take place Pokemon Direct, which will take 15 minutes in time.
In addition to the obvious news about Sword & Sield, Detective Pikachu on the Nintendo Switch may also be shown. The game was announced a couple of hours ago, but really no details, except that she comes to the switch, did not say anything.
In addition to detective pikachu, a 3 pokemon product was announced at a press conference held in Nippon in Nipponia:

“Pokémon Masters” will arrive in the line of mobile games - toli plot, toli is not a plot game in which we are offered to try our strength in battles against Pokémon coaches from past games of the main ruler. . Here are a couplescreenshots:

The Pokémon Home cloud service was announced, in which it will be possible to “store” caught Pokémon in Pokémon Go, Pokémon Letsgo, Pokémon Sord & Shield and, most interestingly, Pokémon Bank. Pokémon pot for Pokémon san & mun is a utility to which you can transfer Pokémon from most of the previous games of the main series, which indicates that it’s impossible to catch all Pokémon in the next part of the main series, but you can transfer them from the Pokémon home.

Announced "Pokemon Slip" - an add-on for Pokémon Go, which will use the new Pokemon Go Plus + device (namely, plus +, this is a new device, replacing just Pokemon Go plus) to track your sleep cycles.

Well, finally infa! Yes, and with the release date.

Today was dire dire. If someone has not seen, urgently on YouTube channel Ninki.

The game comes out on November 15th. Judging by the trehler, everything is cool .. what strikes the eye: wild Pokémon will walk on the map like in a fly, it looks like there will be some kind of cooperative fighting with big pocks (apparently something like fighting from GO), some kind of new type of super form in which the pokemon becomes huge.
Well, they showed a new lay. One with a sword, one with a shield instead of a mane. Obviously one of them can be caught depending on the version of the game.
Well, a couple of new Pokemon.

Was on vacation, far from the computer.
The Internet (in particular, the hardcore pokemon community and the competitive scene) is furious that Pokemon S / M will not allow the game to have all 1000+ pokemon from all games by transferring the pokemon from the previous installments. While there was no special reaction from the developers. Obviously, this is due to the fact that they do not have time before the release to animate all Pokemon, but have already tried to justify themselves with considerations of balance. Some hope for patches or DLTs after release.
There will be no z-movs, mega-evolutions in the game, but there will be Dynamax modifications (Pokémon stupidly become large and inflict more damage in three turns)
The free camera looks cool, but the ugly textures have already become memes.

Revealed gameplay details. Pokemon on the map in a mixed form are displayed - some can be seen outside the grass, some are hiding in the grass.
They showed "max raids" - multiplayer mode, where 4 players are fighting with a wild giant pokemon, which remains in its dynamo form throughout the battle. One of the four players can turn on Dynamax, and in the game there are several types of pokov that cannot be caught until their max-bet versions are defeated.
From the Lektso pokémon migrated experience sheyring - now you don’t need each pokemon to earn experience separately, as in a letsgo if you won a fight - all pokemon in the party get experience. less grind, but less fun, I think.
Added indicators of efficiency before using a muve - now without even knowing which type before which one is effective, you can choose the most effective motion. simplification for the sake of simplicity.
In the game, the dynamic change of weather, and depending on the weather, different Pokemon appear with different frequency.
Pokemon can "whistle", some Pokemon will attract it, some will be frightened and run away.
The "open world" looks interesting, large maps, a lot of grass, but in terms of graphonium, of course, there is nothing to catch yet.

Sharing was a long time ago. An efficiency indicator was added in sun / moon, so that it works with a Pokemon you need to fight at least 1 time.

Page Metacritic Pokemon. The game was released, the first reviews are reduced to the fact that the game is good, but not the best in the series. Although according to IGN, quite the contrary, the best part of the series.
National pokedeksa not transferred from the past does not work, before the release of Pokemon Home at the beginning of 2020. Regional pokedeks ~ 400 Pokemon (now of exactly 400, but datamaynery found about 35 Pokemon that are not in Dexia, but the game sewn rather all will be handed out on the event).
Russian language is not even text.
The duration of the passage of about 16-18 hours, two times less so than the other parts.

I myself have not yet bought.

I think to take to introduce to Switch, from scratch, is not particularly familiar with the series will be hard to join?



Rep: (71)
* Dyuss No in my opinion. The entire series is very user-friendly, the first hour, and sometimes the first few hours you drive by the handle, clearly and repeatedly tell all gameplay elements.
And with a story point of view of the obstacles is not because the plot of the game do not overlap with each other.
