I've noticed recently that i haven't seen a single person talking about this and looking at the social media shit from nintendo its getting a few hundred likes and a few dozen comments. Its more popular in the direct pokemon feed but as its been long established theres a lot of pokemon enjoyers with zero standards that will consume any slop shovelled into their trough but even then its far lower metrics than usual.
I think the last time i saw this little interest in a Pokemon release of any kind was Black and White 2 which while fun games were also massive disasters for Gamefreak financially and lead to them kiboshing the idea of direct sequels in favor of releasing "ultra" versions in their following products instead.
Do you think Scarlet and Violet were just so fucking absymally lazy people finally burned out and are waiting for the next mainline entry or is 2023 just packed with more interesting stuff and its been overlooked and forgotten?
seek help
Speak for yourself. A brand is not your god nor your leige lords firstborn daughter seeking a knight to raid to miladys defence. Nintendo isn't going to send a Gardevoir to fuck you bro.
meds
>liking a game = worshiping a company like a god
you really do need to take some kind of medication
You should swallow some for your compulsive repetition.
you should shallow your meds, they are good for you
Mindless consoomer moment.
>being excited for pokeshit in 2023
This. Last two generations ran like shit and some of the pokemon designs are just laughable
Yes, I enjoyed Violet and pretty sure I will enjoy the dlc
bro, can you give me a pair of your exclusive ancient mons or w/e they are called?
> Does anyone give a single fuck about the upcoming pokemon dlc?
no. It will still outsell every other vidya release despite of this.
you get to walk around some Japanese looking festival town and catch some green thing with a mask. Not much to get hype about
>a fucking bridge
>they actually sold you a fucking bridge
>verification not required
Kek how can they even market these shit designs anymore? No one wants a plushie of that thing.
They'll be able to make a transforming toy out of it, because it only resembles a bridge when it charges that attack.
It evolves from the lame-ass skyscraper dragon from Sword/Shield. Nobody really cares for it all that much.
After I saw that fuckin bridge dragon I couldn't be less interested. SV had potential and i was hoping they would do something to live up to it in the dlc. I can see clearly that they still don't give even half a shit about making a quality product
We've already seen the leaks of what to expect, what we have seen isn't too interesting, they decided to opt for Japanese culture again instead of continuing the Spanish stuff, the actual interesting stuff is part of the second DLC, and the only really interesting thing is any quality of life changes or additional boxes they'll add.
>they decided to opt for Japanese culture again instead of continuing the Spanish stuff
this
I absolutely fuck hate the new pokemon designs, and all the new characters too
But as a lore schizo I am interested to see where they go with the imagination machine plot, which is shit that nobody even knows exists
the secret lore of pokemon goes really deep
also looking forward to having Alolan Ninetales again, I will once again try to make Glaceon a sweeper with Trick Room, fail and quit

See Werster correctly seeing how gen 8 DLC would play out and maybe people are agreeing with him now.
>Third versions improved the game
>DLC is just an overpriced side mission you'll play once and excuse to sell you back removed pokemon
It's not like this is a particularly clairvoyant take. Anyone could see this from a mile away as long as you didn't have Ohmori's testicles blocking your vision.
Though third versions shouldn't exist either, they should just be allowed to have the extra year of development.
>>DLC is just an overpriced side mission you'll play once and excuse to sell you back removed pokemon
They're not selling shit back when you can just transfer them in without buying the DLC at all.
You can't
You need the dlc to be able to get those mons in
Blatantly false. I can move a Crobat in SwSh just fine as long as it's the move recent version, even if it doesn't have the DLC. Stop getting your talking points from retarded reactionaries arguing in bad faith
>in SwSh
Well the DLC for SV isn't fucking out so we can't really test it there can we? If they change it I'll eat my hat, but that's probably not happening
They're gonna drop a surprise trailer showing off the Tera Masks at the last moment to get people excited.
Or they want people to find Tera Masks by surprise during their plathrought and get people excited through social media hype.
I was mad when Pokemon DLC came out for Sword/Shield. The base game was far too barebones to release a PAID DLC right after the game comes out. It felt like they intentionally held content back to sell it later.
Same deal with Scarlet and Violet, it's stuff that should have just been in the base game. And the base game is a fucking mess as is.
Pokemon Company and GameFreak are too greedy and incompetent

This was posted less than an hour ago and already has close to 2000 likes and over 100 comments. Why lie about something so easily proven false?
decided to scroll further for more Pokemon related shit to see if this was an outlier

A fucking Detective Pikachu promotion tweet with 24k likes, which it'd probably be lucky to sell in it's lifetime going by the (lack of) reception I've seen to it thus far

Next DLC related Tweet, posted about a week ago. 6.5k likes, almost 200 comments.
Your assessment is so blatantly untrue that I'm wondering if you even bothered looking.
>using twitter as a measurement
Aren't there classes that teach not to do this?
>OP specifically says "social media"
>nooo don't use social media to refute the point!
????
we hate sv here
Everyone hates that fucking game and for good reason. Everyone excluding the most mind broken goyslop consoomers who love taking it up the ass from gay freak to buy worse and worse products over time. Even on /vg/ people hate this shit barring the most cucked fanatics
pokemon is only relevant for the first month it releases. normalfags completely move on after that. pokemon games are like big hollywood blockbusters that everybody goes to see, but nobody cares about after the hype dies.
Everyone is waiting for Part 2 of the DLC instead, Part 1 is just more wooden sandals jap shit
I'd rather do drugs than buy pokemon dlc
Looks like actual shit but unfortunately worth a play to experience the music alone if S/V are anything to go by. Absolutely horrible games but the music is very high as far as the whole series goes.
Nah, more interested in the Cassette Beast DLC.
Those monsters look better than the ones in the base game. Shame
>tried the game on gamepass
Shit mechanics, plot about satan, you dont even catch monsters but become them. It was ass.
You didn't like it? But it was so inclusive and progressive!
I actually thought scarlet and violet were fun enough for what they were and hadnt bought a mainline game at launch since black and white, but I have zero interest in the dlc, the designs look like shit and outside of a quick fotm experience the games aren't worth playing now.
the silent majority do
Fuck no the base game was already shit enough
For so many years I dreamt of a big console pokemon game. But for some reason the switch pokemon games are fucking awful, not even nostalgia goggles make them enjoyable. More than being angry, i'm really impressed they can make so much money from literal trash.
>But for some reason the switch pokemon games are fucking awful
>they can make so much money from literal trash.
It truly is a mystery on why things are the way they are.
nips even know the game is shit but still play because it's pkm
Legends Arceus is pretty nice. I like how since it also cut out all the online shit it’s an entirely self-contained game.
The true final boss also manages to catch a lot of people off guard
I like the free liberty catching in Arceus, shame they didn't kept it
Different teams, the PLA is actually team B made of newer and test hires while S/V was made by the A team. Both games were developed concurrently if I remember too
>by the A team
Wrong, Game Freak's A Team focuses entirely on their Gear Project AKA the "oh God we're so desperate to make a new successful IP that we fully own ourselves oh fuck" Project. Pokemon in it's entirety is B Team shit to GameFreak.
>Wrong, Game Freak's A Team focuses entirely on their Gear Project
Shut the fuck up you moron. The last Gear Project game-Little Town Hero-had a whopping 15 PEOPLE working on it. This "Gear Project is destroying Pokemon!!!!!!!!" shit is just cope from retards who desperately want a scapegoat for the state the games are in and you're a dumb gorilla moron for parroting it
Not to mention he’s just being pedantic.
We’re talking specifically about the pokemon game teams, not the greater GF web.
I bet he thinks a single team also does the mobile games and spinoffs.
arceus is good and while it obviously has an assload of flaws it's much closer to what "console pokemon" should be
I fear for Entei come December.
Walking Wake was so cool. Why do this to Raiku? At least change the face
Those designs look god fucking awful. I don't even know what I'm looking with the thing on the left holy shit
I am but it’s pointless to try and talk about it because angry autists crawl out of the woodwork bitching about the dex cut
tsmt
reminds me of those autists that complain about diseases whenever I try and start a shit eating thread on Ganker
I'll pretend to be broke and get my friend to buy it twice lol.
This is the first time I’ve even heard of this dlc
It's because the main game was a technical disaster. SS may have not been very ambitious, but it looked like a Pokemon game and it wasn't a buggy mess. The fact that SV are still like this a year later doesn't make me want to support them further.
People can just play the old pokemon games if they have the itch. They are all the same.
Can't wait to play Kino DLC tomorrow.
>Actually paying money for this garbage
People lke you are the reason why we can't have nice things anymore!
Have they improved the base game at all? Does it still run like shit?
Yes, still shit.
It'll probably sell gangbusters but I'm sure as fuck not touching it. S/V were unfinished trash and I don't see any reason I should reward GF's laziness and unfettered greed.
