    why do people care more about the horrid anime characters than the actual pokemon creatures?

      Unironically the new anime is the only good Pokemon thing we have right now, not amazing, just good enough to be entertaining.

        That might sound like moronic talk, but I unironically like the new shows a lot more than the games rn. Probably because of the directions they could unfold. Horizons is despite all the shitflinging on /padt/ a comfy trip at the moment. And while the web series seems more like a paldean version of the Twilight wings format, the art style and studio behind it catches my interest a bit. The games on the other hand are still playing it too safe and what not. Plus except for the footage, there was barely more to it than actual gameplay footage.
        Doesn't help that they're still not fixing shit or probably not bothering with QA-testing.

      This guy knows what's up. Romhacks and special anime series are the only thing really enjoyable about Pokemon imo. everything else is bogged down by bullshit, from lazy companies, profit prostitutes or poke-adult fans.

        It was a typical Pokemon direct. Anyone saying otherwise had their hopes in the clouds because of delusions fed by Poketubers/leakers/other clout chasers.

    Since the series went open-world with overworld encounters, Pokemon became exciting again for the first time since Gen3 for me.

    Do you at least know what kind of things could have got you excited ?
    Because a lot of people here simply hate anything Pokemon-related that isn't directly linked to their childhood.

    I haven’t bought a single Switch Pokemon game, not even the one people insist “shakes up the formula and is super good guys I pwomise!” The shit standards of 20 million people are not my problem, I don’t buy or even play official Pokemon games anymore and I laugh at those who do.

    I like pokemon and i have very autistic sentai related reasons to be excited about the DLC,

    but the artstyle in this gen just doesn't work pokemon never had these fricking semirealistic textures before, it makes it hard to look at the game, but by far the worst thing about this gen is that the switch can't fricking handle it, it runs like shit, like even worse than the worst parts of gen 7, i wanna explore all these new places but then i look at the game and remember it's a fricking chore to play because the framerate is shit

    and yes i will buy it anyways and i am part of the problem there's no denying it this time, i just wanna catch stuff for my living dex

    >Playing mainline pokemon past gen 3
    Absoultely heretical, every gen past 4 is just a bigger insult to the IP. I thought gen 7 was the lowest pokemanz could go. WEW this gen, I mean wow gamefreak should no longer be allowed to touch the IP. Pokemon is a global brand yet they keep on forcing the most moron Japanese children shit adding in new moronic fricking gimmicks every generations. Just makes you cringe thinking what the next gimmick is going to be DIGITAL FUSION POKEMON WITH UP TO 4 TYPES. SOUND AND LIGHT TYPE POKEMANZ!!!!!!

    Srsly dude stop hurting yourself and only play romhacks and everything else post-gen mainline games. Snap/legends was amazing and the final nail in the coffin. That GF are hacks that are ruining the IP. Megas were the most insulting cringe to every happen to the series, sure if they were like alt evolutions at level 70+ that would have been fine. But pokemon digivolving now is just fricking god damn I hate gamefreak.

    Largest&most profitable IP in the world and they make the worst games imaginable gamecube titles look better. Every game on the switch they have made is so poorly programed&made beyond lazy too getting rid of so much shit.

    That's because it was the exact same shit as the last direct
    Some shows, mobile game updates, SV dlc
    I don't think detective pikachu 2 was there last time I guess but we've known about it for a while anyway
    They got me for a second since I was skipping through and they showed the GB TCG, I thought "oh shit new entry" or something, no it's just being added to the NSO emulator. Why would they have good news
