Who would have thought that giving Pokemon a few updates to the core gameplay would lead to a game that gets a ton of praise.

which game are we talking about?
definitely not the one in op pic
who raped you
Evidently the sales charts that keep getting reposted ad nauseum to "prove" that the game was a flop and therefore bad.
Sales doesn't mean shit if people only buy newer gens and games with colorful box art that appeal to kids.
PLA is the best selling single game lol
>sold less than fucking bdsp.
its a fop, anon. find better ways to cope rather than lying to yourself
>same shopped image from months ago
lmao
>I don’t like it so it’s le fake!
stage 1: denial
Now split LGPE and BDSP into their individual components and show the sales for each version on their own.
>bro just ignore that double version are basically the exact same game beside the wacky monster on the box cover
stage 2: anger
So you openly admit it's a scam and that merging the versions together is a dishonest way of inflating the success of the games, which only serves to make single-version games look worse and incentivize turning EVERY game into two versions for the sole purpose of "bigger number make investor happier :)"?
Wrong, bdsp are two games
Which is fucking retarded as an argument for anything to begin with and isn't actually a sign of whether something is good or bad but also it's not even the worst selling pokemon game. And it sold as many copies as both versions of BDSP. Insert BDSP bad post here which isn't really the point. BDSP still sold 14 million+ and so did PLA. THat is an absolute fuckton for most games even if not for pokemon. THe vast majority of games dont sell tens of millions of copies to begin with.
Define "flop"
>SAAAAR EVERYONE MUST LIKE THE GAME OR I RAEP SAAAAR!
why do you force people to like shit games?
Nobody is forcing anything on you but please open your eyes
Everyone in this thread is a schizo, my god. Game's good and fun, sales numbers don't matter, formulate your own opinion for once.
hoping it goes on sale this xmas so i can play it finally
ancient sinnoh is gay
pokemon does better in modern/future settings
i hope game freak never does another ancient version of a region
Way too short and simple. The tech demo meme isn’t entirely wrong.
Still a decent game though.
>make Spinoff game better than every mainline game in a decade
>never do it again
It's a shame they will likely never make another.
I finally enjoyed a Pokemon game again
do it again
It's only been a year.
you don't understand I need a new game NOW
And it's been years since Let's Go came out, and both games are experimental engine test games. The best you can hope is that the next one is innovative in a way you like, rather than whatever the hell Masuda was trying with Let's Go. Personally I think the next change should be on the more structural end, how would a mission based Pokemon game work for example.
>how would a mission based Pokemon game work for example.
the Ranger games?
They're never making another game like it again. I already know this.
They allergic to pursuing good ideas.
PLA was a happy accident
Every mainline game since the 3DS launched has been boring shit.
PLA was finally interesting and new
>PLA is interesting because.................. I only play pokemon games
Even goddamn fucking pixelmon or whatever that pokeshit minecraft is called was a better PLA game than PLA
PLA was fucking boring. Anyone who dicksucks those slogs have stockholm syndrome.
The worldbuilding was there, it was a matter of harnessing that potential.
Everyone loves PLA except here, why do you have to be so contrarians?
And it's probably the same people that are somehow defending SV.
If you think people out there aren't loving SV you're the one living in a tiny contrarian bubble.
PLA and SV are both good.
>why do you have to be so contrarians?
PLA was the change to the pokemon formula the series needed, but not the one it deserved. Open world resource gathering, ball throwing simulator gets old by the 10th hour in. The only remotely challenging battle being the one vs not Cynthia and Giratina, while it was a gem of a series of fights, it happens so fucking late it doesn't really help replayability. Then there's getting to Arceus. This happens even later unless you're a turbo autist filling the dex tasks. Great music during it, nice battle, but too late once again.
So basically what you said is that if it got even more easier and casualized you would like it?
>commented on how the hard battles are few and far inbetween
>hurr, yew want gaem more cazul
Man, trying to have discussion with you guys is like pulling teeth huh.
Yup thought so. Fuck outta here casual fuck.
You ESL? I said the not Cynthia & Giratina fight was a gem. That's a compliment. You should try looking up English lessons, it seems you desperately need them.
Why are you talking about fights?
>This happens even later unless you're a turbo autist filling the dex tasks
You said this. You are casual and a retard it seems.
The same people in this thread who say "le PLA bad" probably have 100+ hours in BDSP and SwSh. Their opinions can then be immediately disregarded.
PLA bad
Dropped LGPE after Erika
Dropped SWSHit after finishing it, didn't even bother to pirate the DLC
Dropped BDSP during midgame
Dropped Arceus after Giratina. Did not care to catch them all in a game that where all you do is catch them all
Haven't even updated SV to the day 1 patch since I dropped that game during the week it got leaked
SV > PLA > SWSH > LGPE > BDSP
Yes, even SV was more tolerable than PLA
So you played through nearly all of PLA but a game that you dropped almost immediately is somehow better? What
tbf, plass is so short that you can finish it before even finishing the sv tutorial
I like both BDSP and PLA
I bought it literally just to get arceus, and the whole time I was just wishing the game would be done already, couldn’t wait to go back to scarlet/violet, which is really saying a lot
