The game itself looks incredibly mediocre and basic, even if there were 0 bugs. Because there doesn't need to be standards for games that only children play.
Fricking this. No one’s going to play this game for more than ten hours anyway. We’ll buy it, look at the cute girls, then put it down next week. Why put more budget in a game that no one really cares about? Besides, at least it’s not Cyberpunk 2077.
I know you joke about it a lot, but GF literally is a small indie company that barely gets any of the money TPCI makes. Chalk it up to extreme mismanagement and obsession with side projects but it is what it is.
for all the newbie zoomers ITT, imagine having seen this shit happen over and over for 20 years.
You once were the moron that liked these games, and they were bad then too. Admitting this to yourself is the only way to be free of the mind prison that keeps you engaged in this farce.
The one real consistent shittiness to the series has been GF's complete and utter incompetence in programming. Despite that, they were still capable of making really good games, and mainline Pokemon had remained consistently good for years up until gen VI. I think something about XY's development just broke them as a company, because the game came out blatantly unfinished, and after that point they just stopped trying to deliver in terms of game content. ORAS had the same problem, missing content that was expected from an RSE remake(remember that HGSS incorporated elements from Crystal as well as Platinum, so the excuse that it's not a remake of Emerald doesn't fly when we have an example of better from the same company), and then SM had even more signs of rushed and unfinished content... and it's gotten progressively worse.
I was a gen I kid growing up, and like many I had a drop off in interest after GS. But you know what pulled me back in? Gen IV. Because Platinum and HGSS were releasing at a time when video games were becoming more and more gated by paywalls, and here was Pokemon offering hundreds of hours of content for one $40 pricetag. Now they're asking $60, plus likely more for DLC, for content that doesn't even stack up to what was in vanilla releases literally twenty years ago. And that doesn't even get into the problems GF has with the user experience, going out of their way to tailor it to a very specific experience and spiting any other playstyles.
Pokemon's programming was always trash, but the content used to be really good.
Sure it did, it had Emerald. The original Battle Frontier, which they could have even expanded on a little if they felt like it. But instead, we got the Battle Maison copypasted from XY, which sticks out like a sore thumb in Hoenn, despite SIMPLE FRICKING CHARACTER CUSTOMIZATION being left out of the game entirely due to "being a Kalos thing" according to GF. Like that makes any sense.
It's no coincidence that the same man responsible for directing ORAS is also the same man who directed SM, SWSH, and SV.
>Sure it did, it had Emerald.
No it didn't, you fricking moron, that was 3 fricking gens earlier on a different handheld. HGSS literally COPYPASTED the frontier from Platinum, from a year before. And then you complain it about doing the same thing with XY?
How fricking dumb are you jesus christ.
Well, for starters I thought you were talking about the whole of Kanto considering that's already a pretty decent chunk of postgame. But fine, you want to talk about why copypasting the Battle Frontier from Platinum was acceptable, while the Battle Maison was not?
For starters, GS didn't have anything like it to make its own from. Crystal DID have the Battle Tower, but it was a very different beast from what became standard in later entries. We could have just gotten gen IV's Battle Tower: Johto Edition, and that honestly would have been acceptable, but instead they went all the way and gave us the whole Battle Frontier from Sinnoh. And it worked. It worked because they went out of their way to make a place for it, and they went to greater lengths to make connections between Johto and Sinnoh through events not even RELATED to the Battle Frontier. HGSS was that game that just added on more and more that no one had any expectations of seeing, just because they could.
Meanwhile, the Battle Maison was less a case of "let's do it because we can" and more "let's do it because we can't be fricked to do any better." Because unlike GS, RS actually DID have a modern Battle Tower, and they could have given us that with the Maison's formats, and even reused some major npcs as Tower Tycoons, instead of copypasting the Maison wholesale. Copypasting a french style mansion, staffed by french style NPCs, right in the middle of a region based off of mother fricking kyushu, and then in the same game omit one of the gen's best new features on the grounds that it didn't fit with the region. Bull, fricking, shit. They even made an exterior Battle Tower model just to remind everyone that the Battle Frontier was a thing, but that we wouldn't see in this remake, because they couldn't be fricked to go any further than that.
People on twitter said that the videogame division doesn't get that much money compared to stuff like merch and the TCG and that GF is also not used to develop for modern consoles so it's justified that their games look bad
>GF is also not used to develop for modern consoles
The people saying this are desperate for a Switch 2 because these excuse is getting more hollow with each release
>playing on an emulator
I can’t wait for you gays to be silenced when the actual game comes out
Even the fricking shill reviewers can't deny the issues with performance. You're being silly
The game itself looks incredibly mediocre and basic, even if there were 0 bugs. Because there doesn't need to be standards for games that only children play.
yeah this, doesn't matter how gay and bad the game is, my daughter will still spend hours watching me play it because zomg pikachu and eevee
>I-ITS AN EMULATOR
cope harder pokedrone, this was captured from real hardware
lmfao holy frick I'm buying this game tomorrow but jesus christ
Congratulations on being part of the problem.
This is going to be the best selling Pokemon game of all time and it infuriates me.
Your fuming impotence is funny to me
Doesn't matter. The games don't have to be good. The fans don't want good games.
tendies would eat shit if it had nintendo logo on it
but anon the N64, gamecube and wiiu all failed
When are you people going to learn that the games are THE ADVERTISEMENT NOT THE PRODUCT. The games ADVERTISE the merch.
Also, Roppongi Hills is the most luxurious place to own store or office space in, and is the most in demand. The rent there is absolutely absurd
have a nice day moron.
>The games ADVERTISE the merch.
Merch sales? So women are behind them making money?
Fricking this. No one’s going to play this game for more than ten hours anyway. We’ll buy it, look at the cute girls, then put it down next week. Why put more budget in a game that no one really cares about? Besides, at least it’s not Cyberpunk 2077.
>You shouldn't expect quality advertisements!
Frick off.

Still buying pokemon violet

Nah pokemon is better than ever. Cope and seethe.
weird cope.
old games were great, new ones are trash. simple as.
Based. Another way of thinking about it:
>new = R*ddit
>old = Ganker

ORAS didn't have a game to simply effortlessly ctrl+v a postgame though

have a nice day.
Why are virgin beta males so obsessed with hating pokemon?
it's sad that the name Satoshi Tajiri isn't as known as Notch, Toby Fox or fricking Phil Fish. nibba is the true og indie dev
>Pokémon Sad and Pathetic
Sounds neat
Adult pokegays are as bad as a dult Harry Potter fans.
Because they have an army of virgin losers buying every single product they produce. Truly a powerful market
People on twitter said that the videogame division doesn't get that much money compared to stuff like merch and the TCG and that GF is also not used to develop for modern consoles so it's justified that their games look bad
The video games are where the merch and card games get everything from though
>so it's justified that their games look bad
No it's not
He's just telling you the twitter cope, not advocating for it.
>GF is also not used to develop for modern consoles
The people saying this are desperate for a Switch 2 because these excuse is getting more hollow with each release
>People on twitter said that
The problem is women. Women don't care that pokemon sucks, only nerdy guys care. Women will buy it anyway because OMG ITS SO LE CUTE OMG OMG
