This is when I realized Pokemon as I knew it was dead. Megas didn't exist to bring weaker, older Pokemon up to speed, it was primarily to make popular Pokemon even moreso. To make popular weaker Pokemon stronger instead of Pokemon who deserved buffs more than them. This is a popular pseudo legendary who's an incredible Pokemon and it got given a Mega just because of its popularity and even then the Mega is worse than the original. These new designs were for merchandise and not to improve the gaming experience or develop the world. They're soulless. Pokemon abandoned the spirit of Pokemon.

NTA but he's right that a lot of mons had no business with megas. Kangaskhan, Mawile, Sableye, Pidgeot, mons like those deserved it, not fucking Tyranitar and Salamence and Metagross.

It's scary how quickly the human mind adapts to shitty games. I played through the game and thought the issues weren't nearly as bad as people made them out to be, then I took a break for like a week, and when I went back it played like total shit.

Still love the recent VGC tournament (cannot remember which one) where one of the exhibition match players had a version of the Switch that wasn’t compatible with their recording set-up. They got the player to use their team as a rental set-up on another switch but that copy of SV hadn’t been played on and didn’t allow said player to Terastilize because it hadn’t been unlocked on that save yet. GF and TPC really don’t give a shit about Pokémon in any capacity: they’re the walking embodiment of “buy product, then get excited for next product and buy it”.

It’s so fucking funny how people on this board instantly turn into Joe Merrick-tier GF shills the second gen 4 or 5 is involved.

Because if you openly admit "okay maybe Pokemon was never all that great" then you get mocked by EVERYONE from every angle with an additional serving of "then why are you even here if you don't like Pokemon at all?"

They have Gigamax forms, which count as much if not more than a cross-gen evo, which counts as a new generation mon. I don't see the point

Besides how is it unrealistic that galarians like kanto mons more than greedent and inteleon? In real life Anglo poxons like indians and asians more than their own and have literally 0 culture if we ignore the imported ones.

Is this gamefreak being pathetic or intelligent?

I literally didn't think about the battle frontier of emerald for half a second during my entire playthrough of ORAS, so i saw this as a cool timeline reference like the others (because youre ignoring theres other statues of things work in progress like the Unova cruiseship)

And i also found the new area a cool addition rather than battle frontier copy pasted, with also nice events in it like the megastone of sharpedo and Looker's thing.

0% pathetic
>>
>>55785808
Linearity has never bothered me at all. Youre acting as if the entire game is a straight line, it's pathetic. Besides this area is like the most irrelevant in the entire game, I wouldnt even remember it if it didnt get reposted so much.

Not pathetic.

I actually hate when things that make 100% sense arent included or have another thing (such as typings).

For once, this is pathetic. Maybe gamefreak had good reasons for it, though, but most likely not. Pathetic is a bit strong here though, considering how many infinite stuff they had to program and think of in X and Y.

Imbecile it makes sense that its ugly and skeletric. It's not like you know even up to 0,1% of the pokemon lore. Megaevolution was the biggest show of the pokemon lore estabilished with gen 4, but that was built up since gen 1.

Besides your autismic brain "how dare they make new forms of the most popular characters in my pokemon game". If your trashfaggot self would actually not like pokemon, you wouldnt be here still.

The mistake was choosing UK for a setting in the first place when theres places like Egypt, India, China, south america, italy and more to make something actually worth.

Gen 5 in fact had to resort to asian mythologies anyway

Also anglo saxons arent even... italy and south america have an immense more amount of pokemon players than britoids. And lets not mention irish. Are there even irish that play pokemon. cmon now
