Pikachu is a middle-tier Pokémon made bottom-tier through overexposure. See also: Charizard.

Sorry I should clarify: Fat pikachu is top tier

(and alolan raichu is good too)

These days it’s about fifty tiers tall! Also you saved your opinions from being bottom-tier with that Raichu edit.

[Squinty]

I haven't, but it instantly looks lots like Toy Soldiers: War Chest and I liked that in coop!

Forgot about that game. Really enjoyed as well.

The -ette suffix is typically feminising so there is probably some halfway interesting etymological effect going on

Also peachoo sounds dumb

Leave him alone you big bully. Look now he's sad

It's weird how pikachu is a top-tier pokemon but both pichu and raichu are bottom tier

Raichu > Pikachu.

[Balladeer]

Alolan Raichu > Pichu > Fatchu > Raichu > Normal Pikachu > any of the nonsense with hats on.

[OrangeRKN]

Take that back

[Pedz]

Pichu in 2nd?

Guess I know who to ignore when asking for opinions on something.

[Balladeer]

Pichu’s adorable and I’ll hear nothing to the contrary. Look at its stupid oversized head! (Also the others are all meh.)

Luchachu is okay I guess, but I can’t help feeling it robbed Hawlucha (a far superior design) of a Pokken slot.

[Pedz]

Yep, definitely know what opinions to ignore.

[Balladeer]

Rude. The irony is, your avvy’s one of my favourite monsters. While we’re on ‘montroversial opinions, the original starters are way overrated. They’re not bad, but they’re not great and have been improved on plenty since.

Anyway I’m actually playing Digimon Cyber Sleuth at the moment and enjoying it more than I did Sword.

[OrangeRKN]

Cyber Sleuth is a great game so that's not really any slight on Sword

...amazed they’ve not brought something like the Selects range over to the Switch yet, although with it just about to turn 3 years old maybe it’s a bit soon?

It'd be neat to see a budget range, Robbo, although I suspect that this may not happen due to the cost of cartridges. As with the N64, the cost of the physical media can be a challenge to publishers.

Although the Switch has ushered in a period where a high number of indie games are gaining physical releases, they're generally using low data amounts and so use cheaper carts (1 / 2 / 4 Gb carts) but still sell at circa £30.

Nintendo may - as they did with the N64 - put out a few of their own big titles at a reduced price; say, Breath of the Wild, Mario Odyssey and Splatoon 2 at around £29.99. Margins would likely be small and third party publishers unlikely to follow suit, though.

It’s not like it’s unprecedented for a Nintendo to do something similar though, they did on the 3DS and that used carts! It wouldn’t surprise me if we don’t see anything like this for the Switch (definitely not until things start to slow down a bit) considering how well nearly everything sells, why only get £30 for a sale of Breath of the Wild when they still get nearing £50 with each sale?

Oh, definitely, Robbo - I don't see Nintendo reducing their prices anytime soon! If they eventually do for some older titles, they're in a decent position to do so as their games tend to require relatively low storage requirements in comparison to most AAA publishers; they'll only need a max 8Gb cart for most titles.

Of course, once games are digital-only then a budget range is way easier to implement; all storage costs are passed on to the consumer!

The answer is indie game selects double packs - 2 games on one cartridge
