Gaming Journalists Let Pokémon Fans Down

Imagine you had knowledge of a brand-new game; when would be the best time to share its existence with people that cared? If you chose “on the day that its predecessor finally arrived 9 months after it was announced”, you might just be a jerk. That’s exactly what Tom Phillips, and gaming site Eurogamer, decided to do on the release of Pokémon Sun & Moon with the revelation that a third game, codenamed Pokémon Stars, was in the works.

Two months and one giant Nintendo Switch press conference later we’re still no closer to learning about whether or not the game exists. Other gaming journalists, eager to capitalize on the buzz about the title, even casually doled “info” on Reddit (yes, I’m referring to Laura K. Dale).

I like rumors. I imagine that most people visiting my site like rumors. What I don’t like is when professional gaming sites build up hype for a title that seems like it will be revealed soon, but ends up being a no-show. With Sun & Moon being announced a full nine months in advance, it wouldn’t be too crazy to assume that we would get a five or six month advance notice of Stars if it was going to be a Summer 2017 release (which was later “pushed back” according to these same sources).

Just because you have information doesn’t mean you need to share it right away. Professional gaming sites (which this site is not, we’re a fansite) should temper expectations and let fans have at least a little enjoyment of a game’s release before they’re bombarded with news about a successor that may or may not exist.

You all may feel different, but I had to weigh in with my disappointment on how the “professionals” have handled things.

  1. How is it a let down? Eurogamer/Laura Kate Dale/Emily Rogers don’t have any power over when the game will be announced.They simply reported on what they heard while the information was still fresh to them. Did it seem like the right time to release the info on the release date of SuMo? Maybe not, but in no way did it take away from SuMo. Either way you can’t blame people for saying what they hear. Info gets leaked to people all the time. Sometimes rumors come out months or even as long as a year from when the games actually get announced. That doesn’t mean the people reporting on said rumors are trying to string people along. They’re just getting the info out when they can. Let’s say Stars did get announced without any prior rumors. then Eurogamer stated that they knew all along. People would be calling them liars or just wanting to jump on board then too. You can’t blame people for saying what the DO know and not what they don’t. None of the leakers for Stars ever stated that it would be shown off or even announced anytime soon. And once again I doubt the idea of a new Pokemon game ruined SuMo for anyone. It’s pretty obvious at some point we’ll get a new game. It certainly didn’t ruin it for me……..Sorry for the rant hahaha

    • Journalism isn’t just about sharing news, it’s also about when to share news. Gaming isn’t the most life-or-death news genre, but I think it should be handled in a way that respects fans. I think in this case they just wanted the big $$$ that came from Sun & Moon being a hot topic and they knew it would drive traffic.

      Reply
      • That may be, but you have no way of knowing what they were really thinking. Again I’d say that yes maybe the actual release date of SuMo may not have been the most appropriate time to do it, but it’s not like it really ruined anything for anyone. News site/stations report news in this fashion all the time. I’m sure you have also thought at one time or another that certain rumors or news could help this site out a bit. You just gotta play the game. Them posting about Stars so early may not have been very tasteful, but it’s not like it was hurting anyone. either way everyone has a right to their opinions lol

          • yes, Im pretty sure every person had a different translator, they just happened to give that guy most of the work

          • i do feel bad, it must suck messing up. I’d be nervous too if i had to translate for 500,000+ people

      • Honestly it’s probably not the that the guy got fired. After the internet had a good laugh at his misery, People pretty quickly realized that most of the presentation was scripted, but Suda51(being him) pretty much went completely off script needing the translator to translate in realtime. Made worse was that apparently filled his speech with old Japanese fighting game references that even a vet. translator would have trouble picking up on.

          • Yeah, but that’s because most people are kind of idiots who would hate on someone for little to no justifiable reason rather then look deeper and see who’s at fault.

          • yea i understand, i didnt think he did that bad of a job, i think was more focused on the game trailers lol

  2. Gaming “journalism”, similar to comics and film “journalism” isn’t journalism. These industries are little more than fan sites. And guess what, there’s nothing wrong with that. As long as these people don’t turn out to be lying trolls, gimme all the info your heart desires. I’m not 5 years old. I know how to temper my emotions and expectations and on the off chances that I fail to do so I don’t blame other people. Has responsibility for oneself delapitated to the point that people are blaming news sources for creating too high of expectations for a product? Seriously… Screw modern society.

  3. Usually, for rumors like these, I can expect that it has a high chance of being fake, so I take in a grain of salt. Plus, I’m not really expecting Stars to be announced right away, taking in consideration the the fact that PokeBank has not released yet and Battle Competitions have just started (basically) for Sun and Moon. I will expect it to be announced in May at the latest, though.

  5. Since this article is a little negative, I’ll tell you something pretty cool and that makes me happy. I got my first ever hunted shiny last night, it was a Rowlet that I got at fourteen eggs. I have only ever done one hunt before this, for Chespin. Needless to say, I didn’t get it. P.S. I named him Roy like red arrow.

    • Not really, if SuMo gets sequels they make more sense to come out. And tbh, it has a lot of plot threads to be resolved

      Reply
      • Yeah, but plot thread’s being unresolved wouldn’t be new in Pokemon. Look at gen 6 and a lack of any squeal games. As well you can’t really ignore the elephant in the room that their’s always going to be a stigma to making a direct sequel to any pokemon game after the considerable lower sales of B&W 2.

        • XY didn’t have any astounding ones though, compared to say, Lillie going to Kanto or the whole ordeal with Mohn. XY just had minor plot threads like Zygarde and the ghost girl

          Reply
          • Yeah, but your points pretty subjective. Lillie’s point is pretty much taken care of by talking to Wicke at some point in the game saying that she’s going to see Bill since he’s a good bet on curing her mother, and Mohn’s kind of not important in any sense. He might be their father, and he might not be. However anything about him would be pretty irreverent. It wouldn’t really add anything more to the game since he’s barely mentioned in the story and him coming back really doesn’t have that many options to explore from a story telling point.

          • I mean true, but it’s undeniable that the plot points are at least more apparent than XY, not to mind the fact that SuMo were a phenomena and a sequel can cash in on that

            That’s not that tied up though. Do they ever meet Bill? Can Bill even help Lusamine?

            Also Mohn is obviously their father. He looks like them, is mentioned inadvertently if not by name (can’t remember if Gladion does say so or not, but he mentions his father’s role in Ultra Beast research and the pioneer mentioned in the dimension lab place is called Mohn), and is the reason that Lillie, Lusamine, and Gladion are where they are now. It’s his absence that drove Lusamine insane and caused her to isolate her children, which drives the whole point of SuMo. From a story telling point, it’d just be interesting to see what happens when someone is reunited with a long lost loved one and how they’ll cope with that change and then, cause each other to possibly change once more or to reflect on how they’ve changed. Saying he’s irrelevant is just unjustified imo

  6. I sorta felt the same way you did PJ. Everyday on my way to school I check pokejungle, and if I’m being honest, I was kinda dissapointing to find out that the game that I was so excited to play was going to inferior to this next game, the announcement timing was pretty bad.

  7. I need help with something in Emerald:

    So I’m not sure what levels my Pokemon should be when taking on the Elite Four, I’ve been doing a little bit of training and this is what my team looks like so far:
    Sceptile (lv 47)
    Hariyama (lv 43)
    Slaking (lv 44)
    Crawdaunt (lv 44)
    Manectric (lv 43)
    Flygon (lv 45)
    The first Elite Four member’s highest leveled Pokemon is level 49, so I am trying to aim for there. Though, in your opinion, how much more should I train up to? And is Victory Road the best place to level up at, or are there other ways to get exp faster in Emerald?

  8. I actually agree with this article. It wasnt in their place to reveal anything new. Sure they are journalist, but you have to know when to reveal information. Pokemon isnt a topic we NEED to know about. If they do reveal early, they could have waited a couple of months. They revealed Stars maybe a month or two after SM. Give us some more time with the game before you start making everyone talk about a new game. Honestly, I feel like Im being rushed with sun and moon, everyone is making hope list for Stars, and I barely even compiled a top 10 list for things a love about this game. Heck, I havent even finished everything in my Sun (stupid battle tree)

    However, I don’t if they even know when Stars will be officially revealed so they probably just revealed asap it just in case (Which I do not agree with). I think it was very unprofessional of them to reveal it this early.

  11. I’m more upset by the Mario Kart rumors. “Oh, I’m hearing 16 new tracks for the Mario Kart port.” And then it comes out that there will be no new tracks lol. I’m still excited to play Mario Kart on Switch and the new battle mode, but that’s false hype right there.

    In regards to Stars, I didn’t expect it announced at the Switch event.

  12. Something just occurred to me. When Kimishima took over, he said that Nintendo directs would take on a new format in 2016. Well, here we are in 2017, and directs are just more sparse, they’re still the same.

  13. maybe the pokemon company going to reveal Pokemon stars in a later month like may to the pokefans enjoy sun and moon because if they reveal in January everyone forgot about Sun and Moon play Stars that is actually the same game just the difference (spoiler alert) is that Necrozma is the main legandary and Cosmog evolveinto that and also no exlusive found.Passimian is available at day and Oranguru at night and Rockruff evolves into lycanroc(midday) in the day and Lycanroc(midnight) also Tortunator is found at day as well as Alolan Vulpix Drampa and Alolan sandshrew at night.So everyone be disapointed in september if they reveal in summer.

        • No because that’d be boring, imo the gimmicks are the only stuff keeping the game alive

          Not to mention that why just shit out Pokémon when you can store and release

          Reply
          • (I honestly think you just go out of your way to disagree with me)
            How could a large selection of Pokemon be boring? I mean what’s honestly more important features or the damn thing it’s based on aka Pokemon

            Why don’t we put it to a poll
            Who votes more Pokemon less features
            Or
            Who votes less Pokemon more features

          • No Earthen, just because someone doesn’t share your opinion doesn’t mean they’re out against you

            And its my opinion, I don’t need a poll to assure my fragile ego like you do

          • Bah, Gimmicks are killing the games
            They oversell the idea and sacrifice a lot to give into them

            They show just focus on decent sized rosters and a actually solid story

          • SuMo was solid for a kids game

            Gimmicks appeal to kids

            Do you get the recurring theme here

      • Technically the sequels count like that, you know B2W2, Platinum, etc….they add no new Pokemon and keep most of the previous things the same.

        Reply
      • Personally My favorite complaints have been people complaining to Nintendo that Skyrim going to cost $60, despite its still being the same price on the XB1 and PS4, and console makers don’t actually set the prices on games; dev’s do.

        Reply
          • It most certainly is. It’s just that people want to have a reason to be angry. Like that being a reason. People saying the new Mario looks like sonic 06 because one level appears to be taking place in a city. That Nintendo doesn’t care about Metroid any more, despite Reggie openly saying give them tine to announce that a game might be coming. That the controller’s are way to expensive despite the hardware that they have in them probably being half the cost alone(Yeah their expensive, but remember that Amiibo scanner in the joystick. The only price we can go off of with those things is from the 3ds version which is around 20 dollars, so seeing something cost $70 isn’t impossible to understand.)

            People just want to have a reason to be upset about everything because the simple truth is that it seems that we’ve kinda reached a weird point in our culture, if you’ll allow me to rant. Where in saying for years “vote with your wallet” we’ve kinda twisted it around that people see the end consumer as the most important thing and thus anything that isn’t to our advantage is bad, even if what the consumer wants varies. That really I’ve seen people openly say that they wished that they held back the switch for a holiday release simply so that they could have an insanely strong launch lineup, not not realizing that those games would largely hurt one another’s sales,and is the likely reason why nobody’s trying to release anything to compete with Zelda across the board. That the system should have been sold at a loss and expected to make a profit from the games like Sony and Microsoft, but at the same time Microsoft’s been losing money from the XB1, and while Sony’s making bank from the PS4, the company’s openly talking about merging divisions of their company to save money do to their poor sales across the board in their other divisions, and that could easily change in the future.

    • I’m complaining about the rumors that there were 16 new tracks which turned out to be false. I’m still excited for the game being on the Switch. I think MK8 is the best in the series history.

    • Well technically ‘third’ versions were done away with almost 10 years ago. But yeh I see what you mean.

      Personally I never understood why people buy both versions of a new generation…But let’s not get into that.

      Reply
    • In what way, exactly?

      Pokemon gives us an altered story, more character development, tons of new features, etc. and MK8 deluxe is supposedly giving us a few purely aethstetic characters and a battle mode (which does look fun, I’ll admit).

  17. What’s with the whiny blogpos…uh..I mean “article”?

    That’s just modern journalism for you. But just to be clear, nobody “let” anybody “down” here.

    I didn’t let rumors of Stars “ruin” my enjoyment of Sun, why would it? Sun is an awesome game and I still have lots of fun with it (I haven’t even finished all the post game quests!)
    Why would the news that there might be a third version in the works take away from that experience? Aren’t you underestimating the capacity of people to enjoy things? Of write them off as too fragile, easily marred by some morsel of news/rumour? (bonus: Marshadow hasn’t even been release yet, so no marring possible :-P)

    In addition to that, I did not expect any news of Stars at this point, the rumours already said Stars was pushed back and Sun/Moon are still fresh so Nintendo is unlikely to reveal it at a period when it still could negatively influence Sun/Moon’s release. We might hear about it in a couple of months, or longer.

    The rumours are not at fault for what fans might make of them or any expectations that were deduced from them, but not explicitly stated.

    I don’t really see the problem here.

          • I recommend you choose a partner where your first pokemon is faster than there’s because then you will be taking most of the initiative, and you wont have to rely on them to attack the right one. And your partner is up to you. Just build a team around their strengths and weaknesses.

          • I have Wally ulocked as a decent partner, but after a couple of 20+ streaks losing due to the incompetency of the AI partner, I haven’t bothered much further.

            I only do Super Singles for the BP, when I have time

          • I might beat super singles recruit some good teammates then comeback to multi. I have done this so much I have 800+ BP

  28. To be honest, nobody said it was due to be revealed soon. More even, common sense dictated that it would be a while before it got shown, since they still have 3DS copies of the game to sell. Blaming people for sharing information too soon all because you set up the wrong expectations yourself doesn’t help anyone.

    That said, I feel the agonising pain of rumours, but I do believe all will be revealed in March a week or two after Switch launch to garner some momentum for the console.

I don’t know what I like more, blue on the right or blue on the left.

  34. I have something to say for all the people out there that say they want to buy an extra coloured joycon and make them all blue or all red. You know you cant do that right? Like the left and right side work on their own sure but you still have a designated left and right, and not all buttons are present on both. So unless they make ones that you can buy that have the other side in the same colour. You’re stuck with blue and red together.

    Reply
      • yeah, but thats what I mean, you would have to buy them separately. So you’re better off getting the grey with the console if you want to have matching sides. Otherwise you’ll end up with like 3 red and 1 blue or vice versa

    Playing a Rom hack called Order and Chaos
    I decided the fire starter (A scorpion) was really cool
    Basically need to grind to level 20 on level 3’s to get past the first area
    Got sick of the shit and used rare candies
    Saw other bullshit
    Added Walk through Walls on to avoid said bullshit
    Game gives no indication on direction, walks into area with level 40s vs my level 20 starter
    Begins to break the game trying to figure out what to do
    6th gym is a Koga’s gym clone that doesn’t properly work, hence a half an hour on the damn puzzle… in and out
    Game breaks from this point onward
    Forced to restart
    Hacks in the badges so I can actually story and skip that gym
    Game breaks and becomes unplayable

Under their cold hearted exterior, they would risk death in order to protect a trainer who treats it nicely enough.

    Elitist: This Pokemon chooses to only able to use moves of its own type. Moves of its own type do 2.25x their normal damage. Super effective moves it uses do 3.0x their normal damage

    Pokedex Entry: This spirit like Pokemon is said to be able to cross to the realm of the dead. A tradition is started where those who have lost loved ones would wade into the rivers and catch Luvdiscs and let them fly into the sky from their hands. It is said to bring their feelings of love to the dead. Important fact; hurting Luvdisc is discouraged as the consequences are said to be disastrous.

    Love Blessing: This Pokemon’s stats double if the opponents get attracted. Further attracts raise stats by one stage.

  40. Golbats are the most annoying Pokemon ever.
    In Victory Road, I’m trying to train up my Crawdaunt, and there’s always a Golbat that spawn. And because Crawdaunt is slower, it’s very annoying to take out one, because they love to spam Bite, Wing Attack, and Confuse Ray.

  41. So my boredom makes me create, i feel a slithering hissing from below the earth, Serpentine Ghost Pokemon that dwell in haunting places hoping to sink their fangs into the realm of the living
    I want to create a Ghost/Dragon Snake Pokemon that hide in the shadows of the underground (and so happens there is a recently discovered species of the same name, pretty convenient)

    Slithysis (Slither and Ecdysis (the process of shredding) WIP
    Ghost/Dragon
    Shed Skin/Regenerator HA: Cursed Body
    The Shedding Pokemon
    a very long serpent Pokemon with bone white skin and black rings all on their spines, long streamers of grey pale translucent skin are wrapped around their neck that freely blow about, their heads have a “turban” of wrapped skin wrapped around the top of their heads with no visible eye sockets but a green neon eye light is seen through this shroud, and a pair of extremely long fangs, and a grey plated underbelly
    “Whenever a Slithysis is gravely wounded they immediately shed and discard their skin, some say that lost souls inhabit these shed skins and are reborn as a new Slithysis”
    “This Pokemon cannot smell, hear or see, it flicks its tongue the air and can taste the location of pokemon nearby”

  42. I find it hilarious that the first shiny I wanted in Sun and Moon was Morelull and yet its probably going to end up being the last fairy I get in S/M.

    Also Mimikyu is a pain to SOS chain

  45. MESS, why are people expecting Pokemon stars anytime soon? the game is just rumor after all and not to mention Sun and moon came out just a few months ago ( even though it feels like ages) i’m not expecting pokemon stars till next year. Get ready for pokemon drought again

    Reply
    • Because the original rumor said that it was developed side by side with SuMo and regardless if it’s a sequel or third version it’ll be recycling a lot of assets. It’d make sense to launch it on Switch year one if Nintendo is serious about making it a must have console because Pokémon is a system seller. It’d make more sense that the Pokémon drought would be 2018 if 2019 is DPP remakes since they have to start from scratch remaking the Sinnoh region.

  48. Except what they stated was their reasoning was spot on.

    For those of us who were obsessed with it and/or have decent access to funding to buy all the things, it doesn’t matter… But some people were just getting back into it.

    If you were one of those people, wouldn’t you rather know a more expensive system with a better version was coming fairly soon so you didn’t waste your money on buying the current lesser system with a lesser version?

    From what I’ve seen them say, the original article probably wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t better for consumers to know. There is no argument against that reasoning.

    Those of us who would buy them anyway are the ones who SHOULD be okay with waiting as long as necessary meaning it’s a problem with us, not the article.

    And yes, I say US because I mean me too. I have zero patience but I’m perfectly okay with waiting for the announcement.

    If anything, I’m more confused as to why they don’t just say it since it’s been leaked. The only game that has EVER moved more consoles is Mario in pure sales numbers. Keeping it a secret only stands to hurt them as the Pokémon GO fad fades away.

  49. Well Emily Rogers started to talk about it, only to have Liam Roberton tell her no, also it’s not like they purposefully do it. Nintendo actually altered their presentation reveals. They had other games to talk about but have chose not to reveal them. Pokémon Codename Stars is not to be discussed until E3 now.

    Some companies don’t like leaks, so when they happen, these companies try to make it out like they are false. Take a look at all the previous Masuda Switch talk, he has confirmed such a title in his own way, but Nintendo are sitting on it.

    Also a switch Pokémon game was first leaked by MCV, it was said it would release in September, October.

    • I actually don’t have much doubt about it existing; will expect it to be revealed at E3 or even maybe before. Don’t blame Nintendo for delaying it really
