Seeing Pikachu finally back in its correct proportions is nice. Longcat is…long! I almost feel like it's a GCL tribute just because this is where I first saw that meme. :P

Overall I don't care too much about the gimmick Gigantamaxes to be honest. In fact, I don't expect to know what I'll care about until I play it (maybe I've said this), so I haven't been keeping up with the reveals.


I totally agree I was so happy to see the big Meowrh!
It brought back many memories of memeing longcat
here on GCL

If spoiler tags were working I'd have quoted one of those posts from Admins Suck. Hard to believe what a big difference two years in age felt like back then.

Also…just two weeks till release now. Wow, that kinda crept up fast.

I want that to be a prophetic dream, especially considering it would mean they ran into space constraints even when working with a limit of 32GB.

Reports are saying the download size
is 10GB, which is not much and Im getting
the feeling that its only that size due to bad
compression on GFs part.

or good compression with a lot of entropy as an input

Even the best compression algorithms don't do so well if the data doesn't repeat a lot. This is why a large file filled with all 00h bytes compresses so well (something like 4TB to a few MB) but a file filled with PRNG output doesn't compress very well. The fewer repeating patterns, the bigger the compressed file.

But yes like, it would be a good Pokemon and MissingNo. reimagined as canon, Game Freak/TPC do it  :D

Looks like the entire game got leaked online somewhere–leaks have been coming out pretty consistently over the past two days or so. There's a full Pokedex out there circulating, along with images/reveals of all the new Pokemon. Won't post about it here for the sake of spoilers, but if you wanna look for that information, it's out there.

time to look for an installable dump, then. (Shame I can't play it…)
