Akari is such a huge cumbawd she can almost rival Dawn in this regard.
also, it's finally somethng different
Frick if I know. I thought it was pretty mediocre all things considered.
it is mediocre.
but that's still a lot better than most other NU pokemon games.
these two anons get it
its a mediocre game
but the other shitch pokemon games are trashfires, so its good, but only in comparison.
that's a step in the right direction.
>shitch
Hey Eric, got banned from Ganker again?
For the 10 millionth time, Gamefreak is an embarrassment to actual Switch games
imagine going to Ganker
Because they actually try to make it an interactive experience instead of a slog fest where they handhold you through the story and you literally get to experience nothing by yourself.
because it's the only good game since gen 4
>since gen 6*
ftfy
so many homosexuals with shit taste hate on the DS games, it blows my mind
3ds was when pokemon became garbage and the next PL will be amazing
have a nice day, XY were kino
>XY were so KINO BRO you can get a CHARIZARD and PIKACHU unlike that unova SHART LOL
>inb4 unironically this, true, I see no lies, etc.
You are the problem.
>using a Red Redd n Reddit reaction image
You are the problem.
>t. SHITnova bort
UNOVA UNOVA UNOVA UNOVA GOD I FRICKING HATE UNOVA
A toast: to another 12 years of seething!
Daring opinion, mate
>return to japan
>weeb HQ approves
I must ponder this most baffling of mysteries, what could the connection possibly be?
Because /vp/ constantly is whining that Pokemon is single player focused and this game is single player focused.
Oops brain broke
Whining Pokemon is NOT single player focused, and PLA is single player focused.
All the contrarians who've hated everything for the last 12 years decided this was different enough that they would be so smart for realizing that and praising it while everyone who enjoyed the other games would hate it. Unfortunately they ignored the praise it was getting from other people until it was too late and they fell for their own lie.
Contrarianism, waifushit, and most /vp/ users grew up playing Gen 4
>Unconventional setting with mild edginess (the land is untamed and people have died in Pokémon attacks)
>Extra-Japanese setting when it looked like Japan would never happen again
>Expands on existing lore to the point of confirming that a human once married and impregnated a Froslass. And does this *without* lazily recycling any assets from the original DPPt.
>The premise of "here's a PokéDex, go out and gather info for my studies" portrayed actually coherently instead of being ignored immediately.
>Manually throwing Pokéballs likewise more immersive, in a way that triggers nostalgia for the anime
>Plot has the player getting to shape the course of history by bridging the gap between villagers and Pokémon, and includes a shakeup to the status quo at one point (getting charged with a crime, exiled from the hub zone and forced to do a walk of shame) which while not much is bolder than the games usually go for
Good post
They deserve the slightest grain of respect for doing something different and producing an almost mediocre game instead of just doing the same shit since game boy except worse
Does not change the fact that even PLA was rushed and made by an incompetent team but it's a step in the right direction, even though the journey to a actually great game would require a marathon
It's the best of the 3D games. Gen 6 ruined this franchise but the way that LA and SV have turned out have me very hopeful for the future. Those two are fun games and I like that they're trying new things
Played it on a Trinitron CRT, was max comfy
It was a breath of fresh air.
>tries to actually address the animations problem
>makes combat snappier
>focus on actual pokemon catching instead of comp shit
>far more interactive world with the player itself being in actual danger of getting knocked out
But that's about it, it was just another rushed slop because GF needed a new generation by the holyday
Because they tried
The game has atrocious presentation, but at least they made an effort to try something interesting
Same reason why gen 2 is liked, the games are objectively bad, but they tried to do something cool, and it really stands out because of it
Unironically because the average /vp/ person rates games exclusively on how much shit they can do after the credits roll, and this game pretends to end earlier than it did.
Otherwise, it is another game with bad writing and piss easy main campaign much like every other recent new game.
You have 9 generations of essentially the same fricking game, getting a game that is actually different, improves on multiple things and became super fresh, tends to do that.
It helps that the game actually has content, and we got a free update that gave us even more shit to do.
Obviously it's still flawed, but unlike traditional Pokemon, it's worth it, compared to SWSH being basic games with all their problems
because it's good
If your reasoning for liking a generation is because OLD POKEMON got new forms, then it wasn't a good generation.
Gen 6 was cool but nowhere near good as an actual game.
> If your reasoning for liking a generation is because OLD POKEMON got new forms, then it wasn't a good generation
Why?
>Appeal of modern Pokemon game
>WOW NEW POKEMON AND REGION
>Appeal of PLA
>WOW AN ACTUAL FRICKING GAME
Gee, wonder why
>pla is a pokemon game for people that hate pokemon
>/vp/ hate pokemon
golly gee, I wonder why this spinoff is popular here
I was told that its woke and I wanna know how.
The only thing I can think of is the Iscan and Palina pairing.
It's based on the period when Ezo got absorbed into Japan as Hokkaido, but they "gathered people from far and wide" so a bunch of the guys running the expedition are unambiguous Westerners (including a brown Galarian); the village is Japanese-looking but their HQ is built in Western style.
One of the not-Ainu characters is of unclear gender, but they're also a huge prick who causes trouble for everyone.
The not-Ainu are implied to be descended from an ancient civilisation of superhuman blond people who could communicate directly with God.
Throwing pokeballs as a game is boring
Because /vp/ is a dead board
