It's so surreal to see normalgays shitting on Pokemon like this.
They already gave Game Freak their money for this. And they'll do it again. Their complaints are all talk.
Same thing happened in Gen 8 when Reddit went ape over the dexcut and started noticing the issues they previously tolerated.
Nothing will change. If anything, GF profits even more from negative press.
It wasnt that soon and that prevalent. The youtubers I follow who bootlicked previous gens are shiiting on this one.
It's amazing we went from "lol who cares about dex cuts incel" to "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" because there's some bugs
The ones b***hing about bugs aren't the majority. Most are just laughing and loving the game in all its jank. Hopefully the buggays frick off just like the dexitgays.
>It's ok if the game isn't playable
can't believe this is real holy shit
>A mainline Pokemon game is fun for the first time in 3 gens
>It's also the one where normalgays finally see through the bullshit and start clamoring
I just don't get it
that's because you're just a contrarian homosexual who doesn't understand what is actually good or not.
I hope gen 10 absolutely bombs and nintendo/TPC then attempts to step in. it would be hilarious
Anon, TPC is as much to blame as Game Freak, maybe even more so. They're the ones who run the franchise. Hell, if Nintendo cared, they would have stepped in years ago.
This. People still bought S/V, and despite the backlash, I don't see anyone demanding refunds.
why should they step in/care if sales continues to do well? it'd be funny if sales became so bad that they would consider having to step in and embarrass gamefreak.
This is a systemic problem. It isn't GF that entirely decides their schedule and budget (although they could always ask for more). The ones who make those decisions are higher management.
Everyone is to blame for the current state of Pokemon, and tossing it off to another studio is not a panacea. People in upper management need to realize that they need to either go back to 2D if they want to be cheap, or invest way more money if they want to stay 3D. It's one or the other.
>It isn't GF that entirely decides their schedule and budget (although they could always ask for more). The ones who make those decisions are higher management.
Anon, WHO the frick do you think are the "Higher ups"? Nintendo just partially owns the rights to Pokemon, they are not Pokemons principle developers. TPCI was created specifically to manage GameFreak so I supposed you can argue that they're the ones in charge. But ultimately, GameFreak is given free reign since the games are the biggest source of profit for the franchise and TPCI isn't going to deny GF a proper budget over it. Besides they're too busy managing merchandising and everything else. The problem is Shigeru Ohmori and Masuda are like the Japanese versions of Todd Howard. People with much larger visions than means to pull them off.
Nintendo and Pokemon Company are still the ones who decide things like budgets, just like EA or Activision or Bethesda decides budgets for various smaller studios.
>the games are the biggest source of profit for the franchise
No, it's the merchandise and the TCG.
>No, it's the merchandise and the TCG.
There's just no way, when each game sells around 16 million copies, that's a massive profit margin.
You underestimate merch sales too much. A normalgay family will what, buy 2 copies of a game for their kids? And then they're gonna buy a bunch of stuffed toys and other paraphernalia for their kids. There's a reason why a something like Winnie the Pooh is way bigger than companies Rockstar and Activision even though the latter 2 sells a bazillion copies of their games.
Anon, the games cost $60 while official merch can reach up to $500.
Nope. This WAS that last chance. It's officially over.
bw remake will save the franchise
I like how the Diamond and Pearl remakes were SO forgettably shit that not even shitposters or the most diehard shills feel the need to bring them up. Everyone would rather just move on from those pieces of garbage kek
If CACA handles Gen 5 remakes you know damn well same thing will happen.
Do everyone a favor and go straight to gen 6. Gen 5 is as perfect as it gets.
No. We want BW3.
People will buy the next game anyway.
Just like Madden
Just like Call of Duty
>Just like Call of Duty
Say what you will about CoD, but they are always really polished games. Newer Madden titles are janky as frick though.
If S/V wasn't followed up from Legends and instead had another stinker going from SwSh - > Trash -> BDSP -> S/V, it absolutely would've affected sales. Obviously, not a bomb, but S/V being so successful is because it was riding the coattails of Legends and normies thinking it would be more of that, but bigger.
This
At least Activision has the common sense of dividing their titles between multiple studios and every instance is high standard.
Why are people suddenly pretending to have standards now?
I'm going to guess because the games were marketed to have a similar level of polish as a game like BotW and when that turned out to not be the case it caused a kneejerk reaction. Think about it, if SVs marketing was more honest about its graphical quality, people probably wouldn't have been as upset.
I think what is happening is that dexit actually did work, but everyone was still trying to be too forgiving until this shit happened. you can only be fricked over so many times. they gave them 1 last chance and they fricked up hard with this game
>Dexist actually worked
That's a pathetic cope, frick off.
the only cope here is you, dude. clearly it did something to normie brains since they are so up and arms now. as stupid as the masses is, they don't just flip over night.
The games still sold like crack, their screeching won't change anything.
>up and arms
>masses is
Who you callin' stupid?
god when will stupid people (you) start understanding that english is not the only language people know. i'm so sorry i don't understand how to spell every fricking phrase english has. ignorance is bliss i guess
the idea that the tards defending dexit gave was that it would make the games better, ignoring the fact that it did not make swsh better, they're still shit, so maybe that's what it is?
So you think this is them waking up to the fact removing the natdex didn't improve shit and there's no higher quality coming down the pipeline?
well i hope so at least but unless gen 10 sells like shit it's too fricking late
i think a lot of normies made a huge mistake and put all their eggs in one basket with defending the dex cut. after gamefreak fricking up again, they are out for blood now
Tiktok gave everyone high functioning autism if you think about it. The timespan between the last games and now was when Musical.ly died and Tiktok took off, then we got 3 years of people having their heads fricked with by the algorithm. Many of the mass populace are now spergs who activated to resist the conditioning to varying degree's or brainwashed
TikTok was 2016. SwSh was 2019. What the Frick are you talking about?
Yes but Tiktok popularized it. Social media wreaked havoc on many people's mental states but none have been as chaotic as Tiktok. Twitter users are only deranged because Tumblr users were exiled after the porn ban and merged with them. Discord is full of pedophile/grooming echo-chambers, Facebook is used by boomers and millennials lurking on increasingly ironic shitposting pages. Tiktok is an combination of them all based off data harvesting and conditioning. Human beings were not meant to process such information without something going wrong
>Yes but Tiktok popularized it
No they didn't. God damn you sound so underage right now. People were saying the exact same shit you're saying right now back in 2010 for other social media cancer. You probably weren't even alive yet so you wouldn't know
Well you're a stupid Black person and I'm right refute that
Anon, you must be seriously underage to have made such an ill-informed statement. The cringey bullshit TikTok is doing is by no means a new phenomenon. Social Media in gerneral gave everyone autism.
I think it's pretty simple. GF has been successfully tempering expectations up until this point. But with this game we got a bunch of changes casuals were not ready for. Seriously minimized clothing options works against the dress-up aspect of these games a lot of casuals liked, and having the selfie mode probably just makes them with they could play dress up even more.
The games have been SUPER hand-holdy since Sun and Moon. And while this game does keep you on rails for far too long before opening up, it then just kind of expects you to explore and figure things out. This is the opposite of Sword and Shield which was linear as frick. And finally I just don't think the new gimmick is exciting to people who aren't looking at it form a mechanical perspective. It's not marketable. It's not really cute or cool. Terastal pokemon are just kind of goofy, but practical from a game play perspective. I don't think surface level players are going to find it as appealing as a powerful unique move, achieving a new form or growing gigantic.
At this point next gen is going to be a return to Kanto.
i hope we're not getting "open world' kanto
They'd have to hire people with talent to convert that map to something useable for open world.
>i hope we're not getting "open world' kanto
Anon....gen 1 was actually a fairly non-linear game. In fact, I'd argue Red/Blue/Yellow are unironically less linear than SwSh were.
>i hope we're not getting "open world' kanto
We just did
Nice meme
I hated Dexit until I started playing VGC and got to see more than the same 10 pokemon the first couple of months
Look Anons, as soon as you learn to cope that no matter how bad a main line Pokemon game is it'll still sell the happier you'll be
I had to go through this with Gen 6 and Pokemon Go realizing that no matter how low the bar goes these games will never get better. Just give up on it
People will still buy any main Pokémon game day 1 but I am surprised by the backlash
>beat the water gym
>game crashes right before it can autosave
thanks game freak
