>the definitive proof that Pokémon games need a pvp mode in order to succeed
Not only this, but PLA's battle system was really flawed.
>AIEEEE WHY DO I ACTUALLY HAVE A CHANCE OF LOSING NOW
>No strategy beyond picking STRONG STYLE
the strategy is Basic Sinnoh Team + Strong Style
you'll never lose ever
Did we play the same game?
>but PLA's battle system was really flawed.
Giant homosexual alert!
The battle system in PLA is better than the rest of the series.
>1 speed isn't god now
>poorer movepools for coverage can make use of their weaker moves with the 70~90 BP they need
The only bad part is the limited turns of buffs and statuses, and the simplified buffs.
stop being lazy
None of the winning teams have any Pokémon that currently require paying for this product.
>bubut le enamorus-
Got wiped out before the top teams were even established. Nobody is using it.
Stop cheating btw
>bubut
Good morning, sir!
>ah yes let's directly compare a spinoff title to a mainline title
Yeah so it's a spinoff. Spinoffs do make some of their money because of brand recognition, but except in rare exceptions, they NEVER do.
Now, let's put this into context. 14 million is about 0.11% of the Japanese population. This outclasses the following non-remake core games:Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon (9.15m), Black and White 2 (7.81m), Platinum (7.06m), Emerald (6.32m).
PMD:DX only sold about a million so far. PMD: EoX, the most popular in the entire series, sold about 5 million combined.
All 3 of the Ranger games sold about 2 million each, if I'm not mistaken.
A rough estimation suggests Conquest only ever sold about a million copies, though I only have Japanese sales numbers.
14 million is no fricking joke.
>they NEVER
exceed. They never exceed, my bad. Should've proofread that bit.
14 million is pretty good considering it was released in one the worst months for video game sales.
>"flopped"
>filtered non-fan "competitive" pokémon players
>killed bdsp
>made /vp/ seethe eternally
Yep, I'm thinking it succeeded entirely, especially by gouging another 15m sales at $60 while killing the sinnohtoddler 1:1 remake.
>make a Pokemon game
>but give it no multiplayer
The frick did they expect to happen? It's been a multiplayer series since the beginning.
>Tajiri wished to trade useful items between famicoms with Sugi in RPG's
>got inspired seeing a link cable and imagining a bug crawling along it
>Tajiri envisioned 6,500 separate game encounter table instances to force kids to trade for the pokédex
>comptards think pvp was the driving force behind pokémon's multiplayer
And I laugh again.
It did flop though, it outsold HGSS which was also a flop.
>rock solid 60fps
>story written by talented non-jap author in the same league as kafka and moby dick
>PvP, not necessarily ranked but I need to be able to hop online and beat some 9 year old ass at will
I have fixed Pokemon Arceus and will now buy your game.
>> its a flop because i dont like it
Well tbo isn't that true to the individual. If you don't like it, then it flopped. The game wasn't as promised. However you cant say it flopped for everyone.
Oh look, he's still at it
>the highest selling individual game in the pokemon franchise
>'flopped'
Who teaches you indians english? Flop would be literally the opposite thing of PLA.
It's sort of proof it flopped that a sequel hasn't happened
I enjoyed it, but then again I'm a severe autist who enjoys exploring every last area to its limit
>Caught a lvl 42 Machoke when I had only lv 20s
>Sat there for 20 mins pushing Wyrdeer up a cliff it wasn't supposed to go
>Ground out until I got Heavy Balls
>Caught a lvl 40 Machoke on a back stroke up a cliff I wasn't supposed to be w a heavy ball I was ahead of getting
I can understand why people didn't like it but I had a blast
I also caught the alpha Drapion way before it was supposed to be caught with those early heavy balls and patiently waiting for over 15 mins. It's not a game if you're in it only for the battles, but if you're an autist who was around for the 2006 Sinnoh Corocoro leak era, PLA is an amazing game
Evidently vgc players don't really play the games, should just make an official showdown clone for them instead of selling pvp together with pointless non-pvp gameplay
i love dis game
>15 Million sold
>"Flop"
Ok anon...
