>new Pokemon MCs LITERALLY use identical models that can barely be costumized
I want to go back to when we thought Sword and Shield would be as bad as it could possibly get.
It's All Fucked Shirt $22.14 |
CRIME Shirt $21.68 |
It's All Fucked Shirt $22.14 |
Yeah we already know that
Crazy to me how these games are completely mogged by the 3DS games, even when those were flawed.
>people are going to wax poetic about trashfires like XY because they managed to be better than 8 and 9.
It happens on every release since LGLP. The games went desproportionally worse on every possible aspect regarding every previous title since USUM
X and Y are good though
Sun and Moon had the cutest girls
>X and Y are good though
See it's already happening.
Yes the truth is being revealed
I hope you are aware that people really started shitting on xy only when gen5 kids became majority on Ganker...
Crazier how the 3ds games are complete shit compared to the gameboy games.
I hate how morons like you think excrement like X/Y is acceptable now, no it isn't frick off.
I hate how morons think ANYTHING after Gen 1 isn't troony homosexual shit.
BW/B2/W2 are the best Pokemon games ever made.
No, now it's SV and it's not even close.
Nice bait.
Play it.
How's the sidequests?
Yeah it's insane.
SV are actually good games for once and morons now defend XY, SWSH
the games get worse but the sales keep rising. just forget about pokemon, it hasn't improved in nearly a decade
>the games get worse but the sales keep rising
what is the explanation for this?
Games becoming less frowned upon by society and more people playing them. Notice how every entry on the Switch is outselling previous entries in it's respective series.
pokemon go, happy reinforcement circlejerks, switch being nintendo's only hardware for the generation, many reasons
"vote with your wallet" they said
>game series keeps pandering to the lowest common denominator and morons
>the number of morons grow every year
Simple as.
The games original market was children and it still is lmao.
Mindless masses consume (and think) whatever the TV tells them to.
people just buy something, they don't actually play it
population is rising
more ads
More people exist.
china + growing world population
Target children and you have them for life and eventually theirs too.
It says Pokemon on the cover.
You are a moron
Pokemon™ and the mindless masses are smart
Simple as
pokemon kids grown up forcing it on their own kids. buying two copies
zoomers and manchildren
Capitalism doesn't care about your feelings, sweetie.
reality doesn't care about your feelings and you will never ever be a woman
L comeback
Pokemon is the "new" Star Wars. So long as the logo is slapped upon something it'll sell.
Has never been true Pokken and PMD sell like trash, only the mainline games do well.
Except they don't. Gen 1 is still the best selling gen and mainline game sales have generally been declining.
>and mainline game sales have generally been declining
Shart and Shit was the best selling Pokemon release ever, Gen 1 was essentially 3 different releases that all need to be counted as one in order to put it ahead of SwSh, but by that logic you should count DP, P and HGSS also as a single number.
>but the sales keep rising
PLA flopped and had no legs. SwSh only sold because of the novelty of it being the first console Pokemon mainline game.
PLA was dull and tedious, feels like they made a decent foundation for a game and then sold it without adding the actual game ontop. Deserved to sell less than it did honestly.
>PLA flopped
It sold as much as a Pokemon game would without the 2 versions, and it had no Holiday bonus.
>it hasn't improved in nearly a decade
Try two
>NOOOOOO WHY CAN'T I MAKE MY YOUNG FEMALE GIRL CHARACTER SEXY
Chud moment.
The customization is fine, there's a ton of different hair, lashes, eye brows, colors and such.
>wahh we won't have cool MCs ever again
None of the fricking MCs in Pokemon are cool. I'd rather customize my character a ton that have some moronic kid in a cap for the 50th time.
Zoom zoom go back to gen 6
Yeah, loving this interesting design. So glad I'm stuck with this instead of being able to design my own MC now.
XY had good core designs that were also more heavily costumizable than the SV ones, you dishonest rat.
Literally every mainline game since XY, except ORAS, had superior costumization.
Nobody gives a shit about eyelashes, you can't even change their fricking uniforms.
>Literally every mainline game since XY, except ORAS, had superior costumization.
No they didn't. All the clothing customization in Pokemon has historically been shitty recolors of the same design.
Meanwhile here I can change eye shape, add freckles and what the frick ever I want.
>fricking FRECKLES is worth not being able to change clothes
You're not gaslighting anyone into thinking that adding freckles is more important than being able to put your character in a different shirt, have a nice day troony.
You literally can make you character wear anything Black person
There is a entire shop ingame for fricking SOCKS
But you can't change your school uniform.
>you can't even change their fricking uniforms.
The frick are you even talking about? They have already shown clothing customization in the fricking trailers.
S/V already looks bad for so many other reasons. You don't need to lie to come up with arguments for why it's shit.
>None of the fricking MCs in Pokemon are cool. I'd rather customize my character a ton that have some moronic kid in a cap for the 50th time.
Holy shit, this.
Gen 2 guy was cool and i wish i had his hat
I genuinely don't understand this need/want to customize your characters to begin with. Like sure we had it in X/Y, and I thought that'd be like a 1-off thing. There's nothing wrong with Tajiri's old designs at all. They all look like they should for their release period. I've never really cared for character customization in Pokemon. Other games, sure but I've always thought this sort of thing to be incredibly dumb.
Because half the fun of these games is expressing yourself through your team and strategies, customization is another layer of expression on top of that. I don’t give a frick about Red he is just my vehicle
>I don’t give a frick about Red he is just my vehicle
This is exactly what I mean, the MCs have always just been a vehicle for your experience in the games. I've never wanted to do customizations in this game. Like idk maybe it's just me and how Nintendo does customization as a whole, but I've never been interested in customizing my characters in Nintendo games because their character designs are usually good enough.
I bring up this point because Fire Emblem had customizations for their games and I never cared for that either.
You just gonna disregard the entire first point? Not everyone only plays this as single player experience, distinguishing yourself from other players is part of the fun.
if we had cool designs, maybe I'd accept no/minimal customizations
the S/V trainer designs are basic b***h shit to the point where everyone assumed that you were expected to just change everything
>the game genders you two seconds in
like, why the actual frick did they bother trying to make the characters absurdly androgynous in the first place
they're not that androgynous by default, you really have to mix it up in character creation. The outfit isn't flattering in either direction though.
The androgyny is to make customization universal. They've gotten a ton of slack in the past due to males having significantly fewer customization options. I'm pretty sure XY is the exact game that started that meme, not just for Pokémon but in general for gaming. Giving the player one model across both genders means a single customization option can be used regardless of player gender which means there's no discrepancy there. The tradeoff being that all options have to work for both genders, so they limited the outfits to androgynous school uniforms.
I will say this, S/V's designs look generic that a CalArts student could probably draw something more interesting even with those generic models in like 10 minutes.
>None of the fricking MCs in Pokemon are cool
Get a rope.
gen 5 protags cuckolded?
>No Gold from Gen 2 there to mog everyone
They're right to be afraid
Gold is the one next to Bulbasaur. Red never turned his hat backwards.
Too bad the series didn't keep this artstyle.
shouldve used the pokemon mystery dungeon remake assets and used those from now on.
it would at least mask how ugly and barren the open world is
>I'd rather customize my character a ton that have some moronic kid in a cap
you mean you want choices, like having a boy or girl? too bad only option is this androgynous mii. have fun putting different hats on him lmao
>i cannot relate to someone who doesn't look like me
why the current gen is full of psychos?
Too many factors to count. All we can hope for is a nuclear war at this rate.
It's the generation born and raised on the internet and thus their entertainment is from Youtube, Twitch and TikTok where it's nothing but "People Just Like Me" doing stupid shit for clicks.
It's just going to get worse as other media scrambles even more to attract these broken minded 'people' in the coming years.
>It's the generation born and raised on the internet and thus their entertainment is from Youtube, Twitch and TikTok
Because his shitty parents allow unrestricted access to social media, i see 5-year-old kids witn iPad watching tiktok garbage.
>i cannot relate to someone who doesn't look like me
he never said anything about customizing the mc to look like him or about needing to relate to the mc. Who actually cares about relating to the player character in pokemon games? Customization is good if there are good options because even if the default design sucks you can make one that's better. That being said it sounds like there aren't a lot of options for this new one so it's a bit of a moot point.
>shirts and pants aren't separate
It's shit
They should took the Harvestella idea of making the main character a Non-binary by default. How the genderless trainer can compete with gendered humans or whatever shit.
>None of the fricking MCs in Pokemon are cool.
Lmao, this.
Your create a character garbage will never out do a design that is sat down and ironed through many drafts to be settled on the design for the protagonist. You're one of those morons I'm sure that probably thinks linear design is a bad thing too.
These two mogs any other pokemon MCs.
They havent even reached puberty yet and you can tell their Big Dick energy.
These two are donstantly drowning in pussy, fr fr nocap
>None of the fricking MCs in Pokemon are cool. I'd rather customize my character a ton that have some moronic kid in a cap for the 50th time.
/thread
Pokemon Scarlet & violet ftw
The 'Guy in poke cap' designs were a million times more iconic then this shit, what the frick are you on?
None of the new Pokemon protagonists are even remotely as iconic as Red or Gold
I don't get it
Choosing the look at the start selects your skin color and pronouns (he/she, trannies don't get they/xe/whatever the frick)
You can then customize your character's hair, facial features and such and that's your MC. Both the boy and the girl use an identical model so you can have a femboy still being called a boy or a tomgirl still being called a girl.
>tomgirl
Naughty naughty anon.
They have different body models.
how is this shit even possible? pokemon is by far the most profitable franchise in the world and the games are steadily getting worse.
unbelievable.
I mean this 100% with every single atom of carbon in my body: Call of Duty is more soulful than Pokémon now.
I mean yeah, t-b-h. The animators passion are seen through the whole thing
SWSH were the second best selling games so far, at the end of the day they are children's game no matter how much people whine and throw a fit and say "but children aren't idiots", "but they could appeal to both" it'll never be true, the games already have far more depth than they did in previous generations and if they go too far they risk losing their child demographic as well as the turn off the your brain pokemon go audience
Why is this hard to understand
>Pokémon is an incredibly popular franchise
>The games don’t make up that much of the revenue
Complaining that Pokémon games don’t match the Pokémon franchise value is like comparing the Avengers games didn’t match the value the movies had.
You left out that Pokemon is also one of the biggest videogame franchises by sales you disingenuous Black person. Its listed as top 5 in any list you look up yet its getting mogged by tiny studio games at this point.
shalom
can't even be a cute girl dropped
This, combined with open world with rolling around and shit being the new series direction, means we'll never have a main Pokemon girl with a skirt again.
This is the future you chose.
I didn't choose this, the israelites ruining our world did, and i guess by extension the amerimutts who fight and die to maintain the israelite's empire.
>God, I can't wait until we get a proper Pokemon game for the Switch
>It will be so cool
I was so stupid
bait thread AND twitter thread. the female is curvier. although hairs are not gender locked.
have a good day
twittard tried to hide boobs (or lack of them) under convenient ui overlay but the difference is still visible even on the fricking screenshot.
Why are you samegayging to add to your moronic point, everyone is aware that the body shape is slightly different.
kys yourself op and then die
Where are the sexy little girls
This isn't the pokemon I used to love
Iono and Poppy.
I think he means the head model specifically.
>"yas no more male and female, take that chuds"
>it's now totally same model, no difference
>"err, we didn't mean it like that"
They regret making characters like Nessa and Sonia because they were too feminine and sexy. That's why the new characters are androgynous and bland.
Can you even change clothes? Are there at least skirts?
>Are there at least skirts?
No
You can change a few parts of the outfit like socks, but you can't change the uniform.
So in essence, no, you can't really change the outfit.
Thank you. Not even porn can fix this. Holy shit, frick cultural globalization.
what the frick
Weren't even true skirts in SwSh, they were all weird "skort" things because little kids seeing panties or even spats might turn them into cannibalistic rapists or something.
No, it's literally in universe laziness since you're not allowed to change your school uniform and the whole game takes place at the academy.
YWNBAW , oh wait.
That's nothing to do with laziness it's just an extension of the body type shit, splatoon is the same
don't attribute to incompetence what can be explained by mallice
It's both, they're farming ESG points but under the guise of doing so, they also conveniently can get away with doing less work.
If it wasn't a matter of laziness and purely ESG pandering then they would've added a lot of outfit options, or at least as many as the past games, but you literally can't even change out of the uniform in this shovelware trash.
This. Really concerning how almost no anons talk about the death grip that BlackRock has on the game industry with their ESG system.
I am struggling to understand how Pokémon fans can’t see the obvious issues with the series at this point. It’s fine to still love something because you love it but to outright pretend there aren’t so many things wrong with the games now is just stupid.
They're morons man, there's no reason to dig any deeper than that
I'm a pokemon fan and the last game I bought was Sun/Moon because I see the issues
Was USUM bieng a story reset instead of continuation your breaking point too?
pokemon peaked at gold/silver
prove me wrong homosexuals
Crystal. It peaked in pokegirl design in Sun/Moon or Sword/Shield. Depends on who you ask.
>Pokemon peaked at gold/silver
Almost no one had good moves, you were supposed to use TMs.
The problem with that is the good tms will only ever go to the best pokemon you can find.
Gen 1 > 3 > 2
3>2>1
Let's jam
Any progressives want to weigh in on this?
They're just gonna deflect and try to pretend it's not a big deal, because they know this cringe isn't defensible.
See
>Ungenderlocked hair is literally white genocide
When did you gays swap places with the troons?
Ha ha ha
I don't know what kind of sexual dimorphism you'd expect to see in a 10 year old boy's face depicted in this shitty anime style. You can at least be glad the whole body models do differ and the game genders you two seconds in, so just wait for the twitter meltdowns.
The real crime here is the outfits. As great as a push for gnc acceptance is, this game just went in a bland, tasteless route.
>As great as a push for gnc acceptance is,
At least you outed yourself as a deranged troony enabler instead of dishonestly pretending to be a sane person when making your argument, props for that.
You don't understand who your enemies are. The people who are trying to claim your tomboys and femboys are troons in the making are the people who want to do away with gender nonconformity. Don't fall for their propaganda. You're just regurgitating the same shit twitter trannies try to gaslight people about when you say feminine boy = 41%
Gender nonconformity benefits everyone and without it we get travesties like the recent Bridget fiasco.
I don't think traps or femboys should be in children's games either.
Why are tomboys or otherwise appealingly masculine women allowed, but not femboys?
He's afraid of being turned on
People with fragile male egos are too afraid of people breaking the gender barrier.
If anything, tomboys and muscelgay shit leads to way more degeneracy and trans enabling slippery slope cuck shit than femboys
Because only men become trannies and femboys destroy the fragile brains of children, you know they're incredibly malleable and weak to suggestion, they'll believe anything anyone says and eagerly throw themselves to their deaths with the right mental breaking.
>Bridget fiasco
It's still baffling that they totally 100% support parents choosing their child's gender without the child's consent because of a superstition so long as that gender isn't their actual sex
You're using their terms. You're almost based but you need to stop playing by their rules. Gender means your born with a dick or a snatch, it has nothing to do with anything else. You can't "conform" to a gender, you can conform to gender stereotypes.
>you can conform to gender stereotypes
that's quite literally the only context gnc exists for, no one's gonna write/say "gender stereotype nonconformity". It's not used in relation to sexaul characteristics and phenotype regardless.
Unless you're implying you based and redpilled cool kids have a better way to phrase all this?
You used the words that people still use all the time, that describe exactly what gender nonconformity means. Tomboy and femboy. Succinct, simple, and self-explanatory when used in the correct context. Hence why those terms endure until the ways that we express what we mean by 'fem', 'tom', or 'boy' change.
"Femboy" is a recent thing. There didn't used to be an accepted feminine male inverse of a tomboy. People used to just call those homosexuals.
Fair point. I'd call that progress worth celebrating, frankly.
And I still will continue to preserve the use of those words for the people they apply to, but there's more to the story than just femboys and tomboys. You wouldn't want to fall into the same trappings all over again by using just two extra labels as a catch-all.
I don't think you got the point of my post. Tomboy and femboy are the better way to phrase all this, that you mockingly dismissed as not existing. They're better terms because people understand them when you use them, without needing to explain what you mean.
I didn't say femboys and tomboys don't exist. When I wrote "your tomboys" to anon I'm sooner trying to give the average idiot on Ganker a wakeup call to reasses and realize who's really trying to ruin their favorite characters. It's not the liberal anon like me who'd much prefer to let characters whatever flavor of men and women they without seeing a bombardment of "troonytroonytroony" because a boy looks too cute.
Tomboys and femboys are a real thing, yes, but they're just drops in the bucket of gender nonconformity and aren't better terms for anything in general.
They are much better terms, and I'll put it to you as simply as I can; little girls will be labeled tomboy's and theater kids will be labeled femboys, long, long after the last time anyone seriously uses the term gender non-conformity.
>Gender means your born with a dick or a snatch, it has nothing to do with anything else. You can't "conform" to a gender, you can conform to gender stereotypes.
No, it seem like nowadays millions of persons want remove his/her own genitalia ( penectomy and orchiectomy; full removal of uterus, cervix, ovaries, Fallopian tubes and vegana) if they want ignore the gender stereotypes.
I don't think the amount of people obsessed with "Non-binary" increased nowadays, it's more likely that the amount of people willing to share their Non-binary diagnosis, had increased.
Boomers are of the kind who think Non-binary are becoming too much, because these days, you can broadcast your life so we see how many people are actually going through it.
men and women are the same
now excuse me while I take hormones and cut my dick off to be more like a woman
I'm progressive and trans and have always wanted clothing options to work on both the boy and the girl but I wanted the trainers to be like SWSH. They are just too lazy to model how girl clothes rest on boys so they are taking the easy way out with the soulless model designs and unsexy characters.
I'm trans and progressive too and I just default to the girl because of my Gender Identity Disorder, we should not be creating purity tests each trans progressive will do what they believe that they are comfortable with (me including)
Btw Gender locking clothes is an anachronism.
I have nothing against trans folk and wish you well, even though I stopped my exploration into gender identity and settled on being gay for my own future and safety. I hope you find what you're looking for.
That being said. Why do you frickers always have to use words that I have to look up? Speak English motherfricker, it's like having to look up a rare kanji because someone decided they wanted to sound smarter than average.
>Why do you frickers always have to use words that I have to look up? Speak English motherfricker, it's like having to look up a rare kanji because someone decided they wanted to sound smarter than average
Well for me it is due to my high functioning autism.
Hum. Well, you posted cute and funny, so I can forgive your autism.
But careful around 90% of the population that learns only the baseline English, especially those who's native tongue isn't English. It's not fair if you want the world to adjust to you, but don't want to put in the effort to keep little things like that in mind.

Pokemon went to shit immediately when it transitioned to 3D environments. You can see the marked drop in quality at X and Y and it has never recovered.
Just curious, how many of you have been making the same complaints about pokemon every new generation since, I don't know, X/Y? Or even before?
Probably zero of us have made this complaint in the past, given that all previous main characters had different models.
The question was meant to be more in general, though this isn't the first time people have complained about the character designs either.
Here's one it seems, when did it start for you?
>Just curious, how many of you have been making the same complaints about pokemon every new generation since, I don't know, since they were valid criticisms to have?
Why would I want customization when I have canon gaming?
Man this comparison does SV no favors either, the new genderless blob protag looks like a generic NPC that challenges you with his level 4 Pidgey and level 3 Raticate.
No kidding.
>Why would I want customization when I have canon gaming?
Because you name your character, you pick their gender and they have no traits other than they have parents. Might as well let you design the whole character so it can properly be an avatar for your Pokémon journey
>Not attempting to construct a canon image of the character you spend over a hundred hours using
One of the biggest draws to Masters was getting to see the silent protagonists all have voices and interact with other characters, it was like seeing a new perspective for each game.
>Expecting discordnigs to have imaginations outside of what twitter trannies killing them in their sleep
They will never know the joy of making an oc who looked up to one of the gym leaders, beat them, and then was forced to discover a new goal to keep going as a trainer.
Never.
Why does the newest one look like a huge weenie?
because he knows what his cat is going to evolve in to and he doesnt know if hes going to be able to hold back.
Why the frick do they look like the region's Youngster? Did they forget something?
>soulless Red, Ethan and Brendan instead of their original designs
no thanks
I will always be mad with how they changed up Red and Gold in gens 3 and 4. OG Red was a no-nonsense stone cold motherfricker while OG Gold was a bit more of a punk with a mischievous streak going on. They're both pretty sanitized these days and I don't care for it.
>Red
>Serious, no nonsense man
>Several generations later
>Actual little boy/girl looking b***h
Feminization at it's finest.
The only difference is the eyes getting rounder over time
Expression.
Face shape.
Posture.
with the exception of BW1 (snivy), XY (chespin), and SuMo (litten), these were all my first picks for each game. And even then, I ended up with the water starters in my team in XY and SuMo anyway
its unbelievable with how piss easy this game is, you lose against the rival and it still lets you win. just got to the town with the academy
>the game is easy guys
>I lost to the rival by the way
I was watching reetard-kun streaming the game and lost my shit at the second rival fight
>ok I am going to still go easy on you, I’ll use TWO Pokemon
>She terastalizes her second Pokemon and one shots half his team
just like Hau's raichu. Good times
Why bother improve the games, while mentally ill manchild nintendies (most are amerimutts) keep buying the games?
I actually doubt they end up saving much money on dev costs
I think Pokemon's issues probably stem more from incompetence than laziness
Idk I see a boy.
>you now remember lily having 20 different models
>thought customisation not being gender locked is going to be a good thing since I'll be able to finally play as a shota wearing a skirt

augh
npcs a few feet away have seriously only 5fps for their animations, this is pathetic.
>cute girl
no
>cute girl (male)
YES
The worst sin is being stuck in that boring as frick generic school uniform.
fight me.
I've never played beyond red and blue back when the original game boy was relevent.
Every single thread I've seen for years on end is about people complaining how much nu-pokemon sucks.
I'm motivated to play the sequel. Should I play gold or silver? Which one has the better pokemon?
Play Crystal if you want the definitive experience. HeartGold is also a perfect remake that iterates upon the original. It's also the only game you can track a Nuzlocke run ingame
Thanks anon, very cool.
I couldn't help but laugh when I saw this in context to most of the thread.
>you can track a Nuzlocke run ingame
what you mean?
Go anywhere, do what you want to do! But no changing clothes, that's a no-no
Do you ever wonder if this is all being done because some rich and powerful israelite's transgender "daughter" can't get laid?
I mean you're right about the israelite part but it's nothing that personal.
Stripping people of identifying features, emasculating the men and commodifying every aspect of the human condition is a great strategy to keep a population weak and unable to organize meaningful resistance.
israelites are just evil, no need to get more complicated than that
You can "swap" tops and pants I assume but I haven't gotten that far yet.
You can't actually, you're stuck with that uniform.
This is why mods will save Pokémon, too bad OFW owners can't partake.
Shut the frick up. Modders didn't save Sw/Sh. They didn't save Legends Arceus. They're not saving this. Always a no show.
There are 4 uniforms one for each season but the game never draws attention to the option to swap it is just hidden
The pokemon center attendant tells you.
And you just have to press a direction on the d-pad, not exactly hidden.
Even 4 per character is pretty dog shit. Do you at least get the ability to change the colors later?
Why lie?
why lie dude I can see the options greyed out for tops and pants. They wouldn't bother with those cons if you couldn't
Man Pokemon games look so damn cheap and yet they make millions with it, guess the fans will really eat anything the Pokemon company shits.
boys make the best girls
>Have to roll a Olive ball into the goal in order to meet the Gym Leader
Great. Whatever happened to just finding trainers to beat and then finally meet the leader? What is this bullshit.
Pokemon for the mentally ill.
But the ceremonial olive roll is great
Did you REALLY want to beat up 3 grasshopper shitmons before the leader?
oh
>Have to roll a Olive ball into the goal in order to meet the Gym Leader
i swear there was a fangame that nintendo took out that had something like this for the gym, and even in that game there were trainers.
Puzzles in gyms have existed since Gen 1. My biggest lament in modern Pokemon games is the elimination of dungeons that you would need to solve puzzles/navigate/avoid getting lost in. I think Gen IV was the last one with what I would call a 'proper' dungeon (the cave you find Giratina in) and even that was extremely neutered compared to gens 1/2.
I can’t name one single Dungeon in any Pokémon game that was anything but a fricking chore to get through, with an obnoxious encounter rate and way too few wild Pokémon to populate those encounters.
man if gaia had a pixie cut she would be perfect
Optional romance for her and Ryne with the WoL would be perfect, imo. Would give you a reason to keep going back to Novrandt too.
>Whatever happened to just finding trainers to beat and then finally meet the leader? What is this bullshit.
They haven't done that in a new game in nearly 10 years. Sun/Moon and Sword/Shield both had mini-games or "puzzles" or sometimes just nothing before the gym leader, only remakes of old games still have old-style gyms.
Gen1 had puzzles in gyms like Surge's and Sabrina's, along with other ones like the trick room puzzles in R/S/E.
There are literally two trainers to beat in that gym.
>literally the same
>female has small budding breasts
how could this detail be ignored?
What should I call him?
Adolf Kitten
Nigatito
Has the clothing all been revealed yet? Do they have actual normal clothes available or is it all literally just different variations of 'school uniform'?
Trailers have already shown various outfits.
I imagine ScVi will have a fashion town later on in the game.
ITT: we need more room for Pokemon, so we removed player customs
The game genuinely makes Sword/Shield look good and it runs like total shit. No level scaling was a mistake.
>Cut over 100 pokemon
>Less customization
>Lazy borderless models
>Less post-game
>Less graphical quality
>But it's ok because it's open world
I FRICKING HATE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU homosexualS WHO PLAYED AN RPG AND COMPLAINED IT WASN'T LIKE SKYRIM.
FRICK OPEN WORLD GAMES.
>B-B-B-B-B-B-BUT THE HIGH QUALITY ANIMATIONS!!!!!
>>Cut over 100 pokemon
People who complain about not every pokemon being available are the real cancer on the franchise. Seriously no one complains that none of the Digimon games have a full roster.
>Seriously no one complains that none of the Digimon games have a full roster.
Digimon didn't have that in the first place and then take it away.
Digimon didn't promise higher-quality animations in exchange for not having a full roster, then deliver webm related instead.
Digimon didn't spend decades marketing itself on the basis of "catching them all."
And let's not forget: before Dexit was announced, Pokemon fans always cited the lack of a national dex as a cripping flaw in Digimon and all other similar franchises. Now they pretend it doesn't matter anymore because they're shameless brand addicts.
I'll never understand the "Gotta catch em all" mindset. Not even as a kid
Some Pokemon look like shit and are a gigantic pain in the ass to get, why SHOULD I catch them all?
To be the very best.
To fill out the Pokédex. That was the entire point of the older games. Technically you still can now that stuff like Home exists outside of the games to track your progress across multiple titles. I've never actually used that or the one on 3DS so I don't know exactly how they work beyond mon transfers, though.
What else were you going to play mainline Pokemon for? The primitive DQ1-style battles? The nonexistent story? The dated graphics and animations? The mediocre music? Catching them all was the only thing that ever separated Pokemon from those 500 low-budget RPGs that Kemco floods the market with every year.
I unno
Get your favorites and a few nice teams for playing with your friends
Then said friends are shitters and want their perfect pokemon with perfect breeding and training values to dunk on the team of friends you've assembled. They do so with the greatest of ease since, unless you've done the same, their stats are miraculously stronger than anything because you messed up the unspoken game of Russian roulette. Frick comp pokemon players.
Why is her eyebrow flying at her?
Because it knows you'll buy SV anyway.
Yeah because digimon fricking sucks shit
bending the knee to amerimutts were a mistake
>that bald hairline
lmao even colosseum bodybuilder is better than this
>nu-pokemon keeps introducing cool kaiju inspired shit like this despite barely even resembling a video game anymore
>gen 5 remains the most wholistic pokemon experience even though almost all of the designs range from mediocre to dogshit and complately miss the point of what made pokemon cool in the first place
Is it just me who thinks this? I almost regret skipping SWSH and PLA
A FRICKING PENGUIN WITH AN ICE BLOCK HEAD
PLA is good. SS is the worst pokemon game ever created
T. someone who recently binged the entire series.
SS was so bad it finally set me free
>PLA is good.
I played it on yuzu up until the Scyther boss fight, where I did nothing but fricking pelt it with bags. It felt like I was playing a student project. There was no "game design"
I agree with you on PLA and SS, but SV is feeling worse than SS in every conceivable way so far.
>someone who recently binged the entire series.
>SS is the worst pokemon game ever created
I call bullshit
What anon? You doubt somebody playing the series for a month would be mad he can’t transfer his 8 year old Pokemon into the newest game?
mainline?
easily.
Your opinion on the series doesn't count at all if you're binging these games.
why
Because your complaints are probably pretty moot vs people who have been cultivating their dex for years.
why? people who cultivated their dex would have a bigger issue with dex cuts than those who just play through the games fast.
you know Sword/Shield are dogshit even if you ignore that aspect.
No, if you played any game before bw you would consider it the worst.
It's literally the worst possible pokemon game experience, routes never were super cool, but in bw you can't even pretend to explore, they all just path from one trainer to another.
There literally no other way
BW is pretty bad but it's not rock bottom, that's sword/shield.
There is nothing seriously wrong with Swsh other than having to avoid abusing the wild area if you want challenge
>People rushing to defend it can't even decide on what the "only" bad part of the game is
lol
lmao
the only good part of the overworld is the fairy village too
These are two basically non issues
In B/W you can catch only like 4 species before the first gym
and in swsh you can't catch hundreds of pokemon at all
SwSh still has 400 Pokemon without DLC and the Wild Area gives you access to shit ton of Pokemon early on. Not defending the dex cut at all but it really doesn't effect solely ingame playthroughs much unless you can't get your old favorite.
>but it's not rock bottom
here from bw2, but bw1 routes were even worse
No pokemon game before or after had shit like that
And let's not forget that until sm fixed it, bw started trend of you being able to ignore types and just fight fire pokemons with your grass ones, or water with grass.
>No pokemon game before or after had shit like that
SS has caves like AND roads like that.
>you can’t explore
Black person there are two optional paths here, one of which leads to an optional cave
>bw
>optional paths
>optional caves
I want people who never played pokemon to leave
swsh is very easily the worst mainline game
what else do you think could be worse? even if you want to count bdsp I'd still maybe say that's better
No, BDSP is objectively worse than the games it's trying to be a remake of.
When that happens you fricked up bad.
>swsh is very easily the worst mainline game
swsh only real problem was time being locked until you finish the game
SwiSh was bad, let's not kid ourselves. From frame drops to weird animations and basically a brain dead game that holds your hand from beginning to end with very little exploration in the middle. Gen 8 is hands down one of the worst generations of Pokemon, no cap.
>a brain dead game that holds your hand from beginning to end
All pokemon did that, swsh wasn't even worst offender
G1: Hand holding? You were literally told to pick a mon, grab a package for oak and he'd give you 5 balls in exchange for doing a chore.
G2: You grab your mon and meet up with the profs and go to violet city for first gym.
G3: g3 was a bit hand-holdy at first what with meeting your rival and railroading you a bit near the beginning but the majority of the game let you go from one place to another at your leisure. Sure it was still linear, but you had paths and places to explore along the way.
G4: Just a long ass tutorial section at the beginning. Nothing past that.
G5: Way too long of a tutorial section.
G6: "Here's a gen 6 mon and a gen 1 mon, have fun."
Gen 7: "I walk a lonely road..."
gen 8: literally made for babies.
>Gen 8
You are given pokeballs and the game skips the catching tutorial if you catch any Pokemon. Everyone is just hellbent on maintaining the "swsh bad" story
it's not a narrative, why does every idiot out there think people hate Gen 8 just cause it's the trendy thing to do? Gen 8 was bad, fans and non-fans have said this. This isn't some randoms online opinion, people lauded this game. Reviewers looked at this shit and laughed. If it was just randos on this site saying this I could partially agree with you, but people looked at this shit and said "THAT AIN'T IT CHIEF!" very loudly.
>why does every idiot out there think people hate Gen 8 just cause it's the trendy thing to do
Because you obviously only played your favorite black and white, this post confirms it
>People look at this shit and said "THAT AIN'T IT CHIEF"
Starting from the day the dex cut was announced and based on absolutely nothing besides that. That is literally all Gen 8 discussion revolves around, "my favorite Pokemon was cut this game is trash"
I don't think dexit was the only reason people were butthurt over Gen 8. I certainly wasn't super upset about it. Was confused, but not upset. I knew at some point they'd have to make a cutoff. Like I knew this would happen as far back as gen 3 when the National Dex was first made a thing.
and since pokemon is entirely pased on, well, pokemon, that is a massive issue yes
And who the frick does this issue affect? Not your average person playing through the game because there have always been Pokemon not available during a playthrough. Not competitivegays because comp is restricted to the regional dex. So the vast majority of people aren't fricking affected by it, it is ONLY people who keep trying to extract something out of the game that isn't there.
>And who the frick does this issue affect?
people who care about pokemon
which is 99% of the reason why pokemon became the biggest thing ever tm
even if you didn't make a living dex like most people didn't, you would very likely have a pokemon you liked, and cutting it to like 200/900 or whatever it was at the time was shit
>People who care about Pokemon
You are being disingenuous and vague as frick let me spell it out for you.
In B/W I can get 6 species of Pokemon before the first gym
In Swsh I can get 40+
The issue of dex cut doesn't kick in until you are transferring stuff in, which has no impact on the majority of your playtime.
I don't give a frick about BW dude, back when it came out I was so underwhelmed by it I didn't even buy BW2, which in addition to SWSH are the only mainline games I haven't played.
I ESPECIALLY don't give a shit about # of pokemon before the first gym though I suppose that is one of the many negatives of BW.
>I didn't play Swsh
So you actually are only judging it on dex cut like I said, which has no impact on average person playing the game
I really want to play Black/White 2 because I heard it's the last overall good pokemon game but holy frick the entire new pokemon roster for that game is dogshit.
B/W1 had no old Pokemon until the National Dex was unlocked at the end of the story but B/W2 added a giant chunk of old 'mons to the world as people complained too much about KANTOOO and other regions not being represented enough.
That's why ever game after the B/W set has to show old Pokemon off as well as new ones so people won't throw hissy fits about not having the same monsters since 1998 available.
B/W and it's sequel was also the last time they showed any actual enthusiasm in making the games, I think the complaints over it not being MORE like the old games just broke them and now they just phone it in as they only care about the paychecks now.
Masuda's revenge is complete now.
He created a successor that would successfully boicot the franchise. All of this because people didn't liked his magnum opus
>B/W and it's sequel was also the last time they showed any actual enthusiasm in making the games
Based.
When they dropped the Battle Frontier, moved berry farming to an online service, did nothing particularly different from past gens, and introduced lousy gimmicks like double battles + 1 I really felt the enthusiasm.
GBA era Pokemon was the moment in time that Game Freak's technical incompentence became obvious, but the DS era solidified it. I'm positive that a huge amount of people who heap praises on the DS games have never played them on original hardware. They're lucky not to have.
They're some of the slowest games to play in the series, because they run like absolute butthole. As far as I can tell, it never got any better.
>the last time they showed any actual enthusiasm in making the games
I'd argue they showed the same enthusiasm during Arceus
>entire new Pokemon roster
anon BW2 are 10 years old…
Gen V is obscenely overrated, it is the worst Gen but has the most stuff casuals can do so people jerk it off
>a game has fun things to do instead of catering to min-maxing autists
oh no the horror
What does that even mean? Every mainline Pokemon is for casuals
Holistic
>and complately miss the point of what made pokemon cool in the first place
Which is?
that they looked like cool animals you'd want as pets.
Female (yes, female) model still has more curves, slightly noticeable around the chest area.
The faces being literally the same is fricking hilarious though, as expected of no effort freak.
>having any sort of expectations for the Pokemon games after Swsh and PLA shit the bed
And you will continue buying them
Idk I am enjoying Scarvio right now tbqh.
Of course you do pokegays have no standards
Not true. I dont like gen 3, 4 or SwiShi
>SS
>SV
Huh? You mean SwiShi? and Scarvio?
>SwiShi? and Scarvio?
Those are the gayest names in the world.
I did not play SWSH or PLA. I am planning to get this one. Open world multiplayer Pokémon is an appealing concept.
They still address you by male and female pronouns tho. I don't know if it's lazy or not at this point to reuse the model.
NPCs still refer to you with gendered pronouns depending of if you pick Florian or the girl, so who cares
REPEAT AFTER ME:
NEVER
.
.
.
EVER
What the frick was the point of the teacup pokemon having a "legitimate" and "counterfeit" version? It even loses that status if it ever evolves
Why does Alcremie or however you spell it need so many fricking permutations
I swear there's a pokemon like that even new gen now. That ghost electronics pokemon also had tons of forms.
At least Rotom's forms changed its typing
That butterfly pokemon having different patterns depending on where in the world you caught it was always cool.
speaking of vivillon, it's in-game.
you can only get the garden form (which used to be event-only).
>At least Rotom's forms changed its typing
Not in gen 4
collectors are their primary audience, no one is ever going to take competitive pokemon serious outside of hyper autists, but gotta catch em all has always been a tagline
Even in sprite form most of these mons look like shit.
what a terrible gen
wild that this game has designs that are so shit not even converting them to 2d sprites can save them.
duckgays in shambles
>All homosexualy ass performers.
Remember when Pokemon were cool animal/monsters?
Blaziken was the beginning of the end.
A fighting chicken is a good concept.
Execution was bad. Instead of a man/bird thing it should have been a giant flaming dinosaur/chicken.
Like pic related but on fire. Not every fighting type has to be fricking rocky with boxing gloves.
GENTLEMEN
BEHOLD
They're still monsters. And I recall people using Machops and Mackokes as construction workers back in Gen 1, various bird Pokemon as mailmen in multiple gens, etc.
I think what happened is a lot of people put a lot of importance on the starter and will never switch it out of the party for sentimental reasons, so once they changed philosophy of starter design now people feel “forced” to have humanoid mons they could previously ignore
starting with gen 7 they lost something of what made starters partially "feral".
this is actually fricking vile
like i actually want to throw up all three of these are so fricking bad

I’m 34 and I played the original red and blue when it came out so I’m pretty sure the demographic is larger than that
This shit ruined Harvestella for me and I hope it doesn’t catch on because you know exactly how it will go
American Game
>Boy (Male)
>Girl (Also male)
Japanese Game
>Boy (Female)
>Girl (Also female)
And zero options for defined muscles, or girls to have big breasts, because the bodies have to be androgynous enough to be able to slightly pass as either. I was willing to overlook this stupid Type A/B stuff, but now I see where it loads and it’s terrible.
>its a back and forth kino duel bettewn two shit decks ends abruptly to acceschud
god i hate generic so much, delete the extra deck
wrong thread moron
Is the rumors real?
Do the gyms really not scale with you or gyms beaten?
Did you expect Game Freak to put effort in?
>the game is johto but even worse
I just love Americans ruining other countries games! I love everything being a bland genderloss blob so some mentally ill freaks don't get their feelings hurt!
It's amazing that homes are so expensive in America considering they live in so many people's heads rent free
>you can't tell them apart
I don't see a problem.
Pokemon trainers have had sameface syndrome since red and blue
Do you ever get to catch those funny little israelite coin pokemon?
Why do I always have to play as a snot-nosed brat?
Why can't I be a grizzled old man?
Better question - why can't I play as MILF? Pokemilfs are the best.
Too powerful, that's a measure of last resort for when Game Freak has to singlehandedly save themselves and Nintendo from the brink of financial destitution.
amen
Because you aren't their audience
I'm still in the actual demo
>Black Ops II
have you really been coping with this image for ten years....?
it's still relevant
This is what a Spanish woman looks like.
Can't even tell if that's the boy or girl aside from their shorts color. This game, Jesus..
ss?
Niglets are too disgusting for /ss/. It's more akin to bestiality with a chimpanzee.
At least come up with some new and interesting racist nonsense, grandpa.
soulsilver?
mommy
You bought it anyway. And you'll buy the next one. And if you don't, plenty will replace you.
Capitalism does not care about you, it only cares about bringing profits to shareholders.
>You bought it anyway.
I've pirated every Pokemon game since gen 7.
this
I pirated brilliant diamond because im a gen 4 gay, and Im so glad I didnt give goyfreak a single dime. what a dogshit remake, its really just a bad port at some level. Nothing feels remade.
>it only cares about bringing profits to shareholders.
Close but not quite, modern ~~*capitalism*~~ is about megabank shareholders like Blackrock using their infinite fed printer money to bring money into the companies they're funding, but only if they adhere to ideological guidelines.
This decision wasn't made to appeal to any sort of market, nobody asked for this shit except deranged, terminally online troons with 50 followers.
This decision was made in order to maintain a high ESG score.
I don’t disagree but you anons should probably know that if you pick the girl character everyone calls you a girl, it is not ambiguous at all
I dont care if animal crossing does this shit because only losers play animal crossing, but splatoon doing this shit was the beginning of the end.
now every game has to be woke and cater to homosexuals
In recent years I've taken a position of being somewhat understanding, or at least accepting, to what I thought was Gamefreak's various problems.
>never actually making a console title until SwSh
>never working in HD until that point
>contractually and production pipeline obligated to deliver a game each year
>never having a reason to improve anyway so why excel
I never liked the direction of Gamefreak in recent years but I was at least aloof to it all or unbothered, but holy fricking shit I know there's been much worse behaviour such as lying about the pokemon models being remade for SwSh, but if GF is at the point where they cannot be fricking bothered to make a 2nd character model what the frick is happening inside that company?
actually making a console title until SwSh
People used this same excuse for the dogshit performance in the 3DS games.
>oh they didn't make 3D games until now!
Also SwSh wasn't their first console Pokemon, it was Let's Go, which somehow actually was a MUCH better looking game.
You can only excuse this shit for so long, just gotta accept at some point that they're incompetent and don't care, because people will buy their goyslop regardless.
Oh I absolutely agree anon, I accepted the decreasing amount of effort into games but the last excuse I was willing to offer was the yearly release structure the franchise has been in ever since 2012 (2015 being the only gap due to the alleged cancelation of Z) contributing to the games being rushed but I refuse to believe any game is rushed to the point of being unable to make a 2nd player character model.
>can make cute body type 1 characters
Holy frick it's insane how bad this game looks.
>that hair
>those shadows
>those building textures
>the player model clipping into itself
at least the trees don't look like shit anymore?
>character customization is a selling point
>frick it up by REMOVING THE ABILITY TO BUY FRICKING CLOTHES LIKE YOU COULD IN THE PAST 4 GAMES
WHY IS IT ALWAYS 1 STEP FORWARD 2 STEPS BACK WITH THIS FRICKING COMPANY
>1 STEP FORWARD
they stepped forward?
Because we come together 'cause opposites attract.
Cute girl
She's cute
>remove gender from player
>pokemon still have gender
IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY FRICKING SENSE IT'S COMPLETE CONSENSE PUSHED BY moronS AND THEY'LL LAP IT UP AND CLAP LIKE SEALS AND SQUEAL LIKE PIGS IN MUD IT'S FRICKING INSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANE
>try to vote with your wallet
>millions who go "It's pokemon I HAVE to buy it!"
I hate this industry so much, only pokemon can get away with barely any effort and still be successful
Sounds like appeasing troonys. And with a child anime avatar I'm sure this person advocated for it.
Clearly they've put a lot of effort into the game.
Jesus christ
nice emulator glitches
>pokedrone desperately defends his corporation

Not our fault you don't have CFW.
>nice emulator glitches
god if only.
Even possible emulator bugs aside that scene looks utterly dreary
The fricking motorcycle mon is the worst I have ever seen, especially the red one that still just runs because the wheels are just flesh bags. Why did we have to get rid of a normal bike??
>that'll be 79.99 times two
finally we reached the day where sex = yes
This is also the shortest title in the series, all the pirates have beaten the game already.
Now that I have about 20+ hours of gameplay time, I feel bad knowing people will buy this and somehow still be happy and deluded.
whats even the point of playing new pokemon games when rom hacks will integrate the new pokemon and mechanics within a year or two anyway, on top of all the previous ones that gamefreak flushes down the toilet from generation to generation
I wouldn't mind a playable talkative Gary since he's ironed out and already established as an butthole we all know and love.
>muh customisation
Think of that game you know that has awesome customisation, that's what you are getting.
>>>/vp/
There's a shithole specifically reserved for you morons.
Just do the same thing as Undertale and make a they/them MC
Why have Pokemon games getting more and more dislikes on YouTube videos compared to likes?
the best games in pokemon didn't have character customization. you're a homosexual if you whine about this shit. just go catch your stupid mons before you have a nice day
That's not the issue you braindead Black person.

This is the first SV thread I saw so posting it here. Right at the beginning in front of the starter house and I'm already stuck on a fence. QUALITY FRICKING VIDEOGAMING
>wtf why is that Golduck so huge
damn the gen 1 pandering is fricking real
What Gen 1 pandering? 4 old Pokemon got new evolutions: Primeape, Dunsparce, Girafarig and Bisharp. It's more Gen 2 than 1. This is probably the game with the least amount of Gen 1 pandering in a long time.
he clearly meant charizard pandering, as the fricker is still in-game and will be the first special tera raid thing.
>g5: bridge is named after charizard
>g6: charizard gets TWO megas, the only pokemon aside from mewtwo who has that
>g7: he gets to be a poke ride
>g8: LEON LEON LEON
>so angry that even after death it wants to murder
About the only good thing I've seen from S/V is Primeape's evo.
.. that is Primeape's evo right?
>.. that is Primeape's evo right?
Yes. The new Bisharp evo is pretty cool too.
POST THE LINK TO THE GAME
But at least we get to beat snoys right?
You get what you fricking deserve.
All the new Pokemon if you're curious.
>dunsparce gets an evolution
>it just gets bigger
I don't even like dunsparce that much but holy frick what a joke
monkey paw tier execution
Dunsparce was always a joke
Is that... a literal flamingo? like an actual flamingo without any changes at all just a fricking flamingo?
All of those pokemon are genuinely disgusting, I don't like a single one of them.
>All of those pokemon are genuinely disgusting, I don't like a single one of them.
People have been saying that every gen for well over a decade now.
I willy say, even as far as Gen 4, the mons were interesting. I think Gen 5 onwards, they sort of stopped trying. I mean I still remember when people b***hed about Trubbish and Vanilluxe being pokemon.
But I mean it this time, they don't even look like animals anymore, they look like toys or some shit, they started looking like that since gen 7 and has only gotten worse.
this is probably done on purpose to make them easier to make plushes out of or something of the sort.
But it fricking sucks, it should be the other way around, make something cool and then turn it into a toy.
>they don't even look like animals anymore,
A bunch of them are just normal fricking birds
I blame the terrible textures for a good amount of it, almost the 'animal' types in SwSh looked like plastic or balloon animals due to smooth no detail "fur" on them and a lot of them were weirdly shiny for something that's supposed to be covered in fur.
and meant almost all the animal types
Terrible? They look way better than SwSh
No they don't, they still no details in their skin so they still look like plastic toys or balloon animals.
Johto starters aren't cooler than Hoenn's or Sinnoh's. The comic was always bullshit.
My point in posting it wasn't that it was accurate but to show how people have always had the perspective that the newest gen's Pokemon are the worse than the previous and so on.
totodile is a cool lil homie and I can't be convinced otherwise
Seems like the porn is going to be lacking this time.
>violet gets a bunch of robots instead of pokemon
what the frick
Scarlet gets Pokemon from the past, Violet from the future. All Pokemon in the future are robots for some reason.
Damn, that's not fair
I really wanted to buy violet version, but ancient shit is just better
>10 year old boy also looks like a 10 year old girl if you change their hair
Checks out. What’s the issue?
>we want the western troony audience
do you think the biggest and most profitable franchise in history isnt controlled by a cabal of israelites? "smarru indie deveropa, purisu undastano" my ass. theres so mucu money in pokemon, you can bet your ass black rock isnt the only one having money in there. and looking at their recent reports on how they want to approach diversity and inclusivity, its not even a secret anymore that they get a phat stack of ESG
Pokémon has been shit since Gold and Silver.
Gold and Silver are shit games with terrible level scaling.
the amount of people that didnt play vidya in their youth aka boomers, is dying slowly but surely. on the other hand, kids that grew up with video games from day 1 get born every day. we probably have another 50 or so years before the last person to not grow up with vidya has died out and only then will gaming have reached its growth limit. at that point its no different than music or film.
Too round, I want edges.
Rate the new Gym Leaders and Elite Four.
how can someone be a gym leader and a memeber of elite 4? didnt koga had to abandon being a leader to join elite 4?
he uses different type pokemon in both roles so i don't know, guess one team is shitter than the other
He is a wagie with 2 jobs.
Normal type gym leader and Flying type elite 4
Recession hitting the pokeconomy too huh
>normal type gym leader
uh...Gen 2 had a plainclothes girl as a normal type gym leader. you're telling me this dude with scuffed ass hair is a normal type gym leader? what about him makes him look like a normal type gym leader?
And this was a Normal-type Gym Leader in Gen 3, what's your point?
Aside from the hair, he looks like a regular overworked wagie. Plus his ace in the gym is Dundunsparce so he is automatically based.
He looks just as tired as a regular man around his age, wageslaving his life away, I would know, I have a mirror.
Look at how tired he looks, he chose wrongly.
>A man that looks like a girl
>A girl that looks like a man
What did they mean by this?
>the only black gym leader is a rhyme bustin DJ rapper
fricking lmao. plus its an old woman for bonus diversity points even if it looks odd
>Larry
Literally me.
Isn't there 18 gyms, one for each type?
The Team Star bases and Titans give "badges" but they're not Gyms.
Well that's a shame
If you count the leaders of team star as gym leaders, maybe
forgettable, forgettable, cute but moronic design but might be a troony, just ugly
forgettable, absolutely disgusting,
forgettable, a trap? looks gay as frick anyways.
look alright, cute and funny, forgettable, forgettable.
Is like they took a bunch of generic NPCs and made them gym leaders, holy shit, not even the e-girl can save this fricking disaster, not this time.
does this literal tiny child even understand her job properly
Green hair has a nice ass.
Why? Does she make you feel inadequate?
Uuoooh! Cute and funny child

Anyway they are still the best Pokémon game ever made.
All i care about is that Hilda and Rosa keeps getting porn, and that Red remains the ultimate trainer.
T. Never played pkmn besides red/blue and gold/silver
If this game sells less than SwSh there is no hope anymore.
The game flow is the best it has ever been.

What people fail to realize is that GameFreak is just genuinely incompetent and this is them actually putting their best effort in.
I wouldn't discard this as true, their other game sucked ass, what was it called? town hero or something? it was terrible.
GF continues to disapoint me more each day when I tought they couldn't do it anymore. That is truly a special talent for all the wrong reasons.
Trans"people" did this.
Did the voices tell you that Jimbo?
Who said you could reply to me? I only talk to bodytype 1.
the gyms in this game are kinda silly (so far)
instead of battling through a gym you do things like...push a ball into a goal
So it's like the SM totems where you do some dumb thing before?
to fight the gym leader you have to do some task and it doesn't always involve battles
Where do we rank platinum in?
probably in the top 5 so far, it's pretty good
ass tier
bro.
5 > 3 > 1 > ass > 6 > 4 > 2 > shit > every gen after 6
homosexual.
That's right baby, truth hurts, and my tier list is perfect, gen 4 was ass tier and was slow as shit too.
>gen 4 was ass tier and was slow as shit too.
True, so why did you put it above anything else? It was objectively the worst gen until gen 8 came to compete for the title.
Out of the games I've played
>the first ones tier: R/B/Y and G/S/C
>enjoyed time playing tier: FR/LG, HG/SS, Platinum, B/W, S/M
>disappointment tier: R/S, OR/OS
>abomination tier: SwSh
>Blissey's hp is still counting down tier: DP
As someone whose first and only Pokémon game was souls silver and wanted to try out the series again, should I get this? I don’t want to give money to Nintendo if they are barely giving an effort with these new games. But I really really loved souls silver
soul silver is one of the better ones
emerald is pretty great though fairly old but omega ruby/aplha sapphire is generally better unless you for some reason cared about the battle frontier, and no one sane does
Platinum is around when soul silver was made and is als one of the better ones
>It's another Twitter-tier fake outrage tier
Can't wait for the games to be released and then this board's traffic starts to "magically" slowdown like it did with PLA.
Yeah, I'm thinking it's Pokemon season. Time to binge Pokemon games.
>buy new pokemon game
>see a couple new pokemon at the start
>every pokemon in the next few routes are from previous gens
>don't catch any of them because I only want to play with the new ones
why can't we have a game with the new mons instead of all the old ones? Are they embarrassed about how few new ones there are?
Didn't people complain when Black and White did just that?
"people" are stupid then, I loved it
they did that with black and white. it was only g5 mons until postgame.
they ended up being the worst selling openers, about half a million less than Sun and Moon
Don't worry guys you can stop your b***hing about your 50 year old Pokemon gens, they added in a character to represent you too.
>60 and still kickin'
but japanese people regularly live into their 100's
He's Spanish or something, will probably die soon from smoking too much paella
>they made him wear a uniform
This game is a joke.
The number one golden rule of Pokemon: Just when you think it can't possibly get worse, it does. No exceptions.
>Gary is a normal human being, just like me and you
thank god pokemon didn't trigger me now I won't kill myself thanks nintendo america!
>check OP's twitter profile
>it's an Ganker troony pedophile
every time
Nintendo is honestly quite impressive
they know they have such a rabid so(y)boy audience they can churn out shittier products every time to more profits
>10 year old boys look like 10 year old girls
WOOOOOOOOOW
