Hey, kind of likePokemon Legends
As spotted by NintendoSoup, the upcoming duo ofPokemon ScarletandVioletwere lumped together as justVioletin the Singapore ad, which adorns every tray at this particular location (and likely more).Interestingly, the collab also involvesa “Charizard McPepper Burger,” “Eevee Pies,” and “Pikachu and Scorbunny Frappes.” Oh, and it’ll have a trading card game tie-in.
This silly snafu had me thinking about how much I appreciated a lot of high-level choices inPokemon Legends.Of course, there’s room for improvement there. But in addition to the new capture mechanic, the idea of just buying one game and being done with it was a relief, especially for completionists.
The continuation of the dual game method has become a hot-button issue in recent years, especially since the series moved off of its exclusive home on handhelds. “More money” is a chief contributor to keeping that gravy train rolling, but the originalRedandBlueidea of encouraging trading via the community did make sense. But with cold online trading as commonplace, the logistics of pushing two versions with every generation makes less and less sense. It’s likely not going to stop anytime soon, but moreLegendsreleases would be a decent compromise.
