TPC finally realized that human characters have become more popular than the pokemons and is focusing in themhttps://www.pokemon.jp/special/trainers_festival/Can we expect a dating sim mechanic in the next mainline game?
>>57203742Now they need to step it up to be a women only campaign.
>>57203746From a marketing perspective...ARE YOU INSANE?! DO YOU HAVE IDEA HOW MUCH MONEY THAT LITTLE SHIT OF KIERAN PRODUCES FROM THE FUJOS?!
>>57203746Thought we hated le evil oppressive DEI
Well yeah. Pokemon are designed to be flawed on purpose, but human characters are not. It's only natural.
>>57203751>Gayfag seething xe cant date menApparently you love it
>>57203742Checking Japanese Twitter, people is going insane, the merchandise is starting to sell out and it has been just minutes.
>>57203742
>>57203813
>>57203742That specific campaign is just a code for a (probably outdated) unit in masters>>57203813>>57203817Masters only gets actually purchasable merch for the second time, in 5.5 yearsLook at how they massacred this boy
>>57203742funny how that gen 9 character looks so much better here due to celshading and outlines
>>57203813The train twins being popular will never not surprise me.
Even more Iono merch for her already big collection.
>>57203757>Pokemon are designed to be flawed on purpose, but human characters are notPenny.
>>57203750I don't think they even know lol. Or they'd make more of his cards and plushie and put him in Master Sex
>>57203742I TOLD YOU MOTHERFUCKERSLILLIE IS THE FACE OF THE FRANCHISEYOU DIDN'T LISTEN
>>57203742>pokemon is becoming less and less about pokemon>people unironically praise thisFucking embarrassing.
>>57203742I can't believe N took two of the most popular Pokegirls for himself and he also kicked Hops out.
>>57203742that's cool and all, so when can I buy a Zinnia/Courtney/Helena body pillow?
>hope for affordable Subway Masters merch to exist again (aka anything below a 60 dollars sleeves set or a 250 dollars plushie/figure)>it's just tin pins and acrylic standsth-thanks
>>57205021In fact most of the merch is just the trainer official artwork or its masters ex's 3D render stamped into random shit.
>>57203813>They’re selling the Trainer Lodge artNice
Does Penny get anything?
>>57205214No
>>57203742>saying this when pokemon master, a game focused exclusively on the characters, flopped so hard the dev team had to make a public apology your favourite character will never be popular, just a shadow under pikachu
>>57203742>They're only pushing pre SV trainers & IonoLmao I wonder why
>>57203742Related, maybe not, but there's a new trainer plush line.
>>57204920>put him in Master SexTPC has to lift the embargo first, DLC characters take years to come to the game>>57205051yeahthere's nothing original here outside of the plushies maybe, if they're not just based of the lodge ones that is
>>57205365The cards may use Master EX 3d models...but those poses are new.
>>57205349Kieran and Grusha would unironically move loads of money.
>>57205349Rika and "my parents are assholes!" Faggot are also getting stuff.
>>57205415>"my parents are assholes!" FaggotSilver is not a Paldea character.
>>57204904>PennyBeing a smelly dog fucker sounds like the perfect human to this board.
whens poppy
>>57203742>>57203813>>57203813>>57203817>people are flexing this shitbro like 9/10 characters are fujobait
>>57205349there's not a single johtoflop character lmao
>>57205463Well who the hell do you think is buying this stuff dumbass?
>>57204977>Human Trainers get a positive reception>Money driven Company decides to maximize profit>Consumer likes that Company is pandering to himIt's basic equation, anon.
>>57203742>most Arven stuff is already sold outFuck being a yuropoor wageslave ;_;
>>57205516Who else already sold out?
>>57205438I said "parentS", PLURAL, if i was talking of Silver i would have said "my FATHER is an asshole".
>>57203742they realized that sane straight people left the franchise for Palworld and only pedophiles stayed leeching off Pokemon
>>57205525>sane straight peopleI want to bang and marry Celesdir
>>57205470>Jasmine has like 4 alts>all her threads are necrobumped to the extreme here in the circlejerk>she even appears at the lodge>got a new card>zero merchwhy are gen 6 characters considered a flop when all gen 2 bitches are in the same situation?
>>57203742>No Helena stuffSad.
>>57205343Why did Masters do so horribly when Go became the biggest thing ever? It’s not like Go was a high quality game since it barely functioned half the time at the peak of its popularity.
>>57205390If they're different from the ones traditionally used in menus then they come from other already made assets like model viewer poses, scout poses or animations
>>57205523Arven only has one parent.
>>57205577Masters wasn't advertised as much as Go and people don't care much about human charactersAlso it kind of feels like Nintendo begged for the thing to exist in order to give a job to their mobile game partner DeNA, while the rest of TPC wasn't initially excited by the idea
Masters only went bad at the beginning, that is why they pulled a FFXIV and rebranded the game as Master EX.
>>57205609human characters seems like something that appeals more to the japanese
>>57205577Because its stuck with a PG rating, and can't suckered in big whales with lewd costumes. It would've made way more money if it could, even by a little like Genshin.
>>57205577Because GO was appealing to millions of normies who only knew the original 151 mons (of which many didn't even ever play the game), plus younger kids who ate up any popular mobile game.Masters is for those who are really into games and play them passionately enough to care about the human characters at all. It's a much, MUCH smaller subset of fans. I would count myself to the latter obviously, and even I dropped Masters pretty quickly simply because it was boring. I started playing it again last year though, it's actually pretty good now, inherent gacha game flaws aside.
>>57203742>N with IonoBlasphemy, Iono is for Grusha only.
>>57205525>they realized that pedophiles left the franchise for Palworld and only straight people stayed leeching off PokemonFTFY
My FUARKING HERO, N!!!!!
>>57205768All the humans in Palworld are adults>BUT D-DAZZI!I'd tell you to eat a dick, but you probably enjoy that.
>>57205630Go and the GF games still make bank with that rating
>>57205455Most of the people here hates her, sometimes a weirdo makes a thread of her but most of the people there is irony.
>>57205810Correct, because the pokemon (collecting and raising) and adventure aspect of the game are the main focus. Masters doesn't has that, so it has to now compete with other waifugames for people's attention. The game itself is not awful, and I quite like it myself, but in no way is it making the top of the charts, beating out Blue Archive or Nikke, with these designs. They are absolute cute, but not the type to make people waste all their savings on, much less atrract new whales that only have a casual or no interest of pokemon. It's just the sad reality that you need fanservice to thrive in the gacha space.
>>57205546it's not related to the trainers campaign, but she has a scale world figure coming next month at leastGenuinely have no idea why Karen of all people was chosen for a sticker, when there are plenty of other more popular Johto characters. She doesn't even have a single actual alt in Masters. But Silver, Morty, nad Jasmine got 2 new outfits each.https://bside-label.com/archives/57675
>>57205577these >>57205646 >>57205630 >>57205609 are all wrong. Don't listen to them. Master flopped for two reasons. First is boring as fuck and does nothing new, like literally nothing new and the market was already oversaturated when it released. There is currently no demand for more basic gacha clones menu scrollers. But there is demand for open world slop. That's why Genshit impact succeded despite being boring.Second, the game was just poorly designed, some characters suicide because of recoil moves so yeah , it was that bad.So there was really no reason to play the game unless you really really really liked the characters. And the lack of budget reflected the lack of revenue
>>57206175I (second post you quoted) literally said it was boring and that that's part of the reason why it was poorly received.
How it would be and works a Genshi impact style pokemon gacha game?
Master Ex should have focus in building the characters relationships with other characters, having them all obsessed with you, a mute self insert, is boring.
>>57205577How has nobody said that its because you can catch pokemon in Go. No shit the pokemon game where you catch pokemon did better.
>>57203742I like the logo featuring Iono, Lillie and N, it makes them feel much more important than others.
>>57203746Stick it to the libs by refusing money from some of your biggest spenders.
>>57204977Deal with it furry
>>57206787KekHonestly the people here are so far removed from reality, it's funny
>>57203742Is this NTR?
>>57203813>>57204849>>57203817>No leaf or Klara merchI appreciate the Iono and bellibolt stuff though
>>57206787Don't males in any gachas that have both genders typically fail pretty hard compared to the typical female banner unless they're broken. I don't care about males being datable. Just give me the option for yuri
>>57203742Nobody cares about the humanshit characters. Also that campaign is only for masters ex which is a mobile game that focuses on the humans and it flopped hard.
>>57207178more people care about N than whatever your favorite shitmon is
>>57207185N fell off. People would rather talk about a soccer rabbit.
>>57207160NTA anin but I assure you that if they add Kieran, masters ex will generate insane amounts of revenue in short time, people in general love the kid and fujos in particular ABSOLUTELY ADORE HIM.
>>57207111No, it's NIL: Natural, Iono, Lillie.
>>57207293that's the thing though. They always claim to want to be pandered to more in gachas but when they are, they refuse to spend
>>57206468Agreed.
>>57207293I think yumes like him more than fujos.>>57207329Every single girl I know likes Pokémon has insane amounts of merch, both official and fanmade. Trust me, if they have money, they are absolutely ready to spend it. Kieran merch sold out in literal minutes.
>>57205663Why they look so good together?
>>57205577Personally I think it's because it wasn't really marketed eitherBack when in 2019(?) I think that I came to know of it only by chance while browsing the board, otherwise I wouldn't have known about it.
>>57207522I guess maybe it could work for Masters since a lot of fans are already conditioned to pay premium for merch, but a lot of gachas I see males either fail to perform or they're not as common because they fail to perform. I already see complaints on ZZZ about "why trick me into thinking this was going to be mixed if they barely release any males after launch?"
>>57203742So it's a booster with just a bunch of trainer cards? Wouldn't that be like if Yugioh had a card series that only contained spell cards and zero monsters
>>57207619No. The gimmick is that there are Pokémon who are owned by trainers which, in conjunction with the trainer cards, make up an archetype. It has happened before in past sets such as Gym Heroes, Gym Challenge, VS, and EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua.
>>57207619is Promoting the incoming se of pokemon TCG which features the humans in the image (nad hops but he got cucked from the banner and the logo althouth he appears in the page if you scroll down a little) plus loads of new merch from masters ex focused on human characters.
>>57207160That's because "mixed" gachas are very reluctant to actually pander to women because they are scared of backlash from male players. Look at Genshin. Mihoyo constantly shits their pants because whiny male players complain about "male eyecandy" while also claiming that the waifus aren't eyecandy enough. So what you get is some really half-assed shit where there's maybe a slighty muscular twink who shows one third of a pec if you're lucky. It's very half-hearted pandering, so obviously women don't spend as much. It's literally only a question of whether the developers actually want to make what women want or not. That's why you don't have many examples of this happening in "mixed" gachas.Now look at Love and Deepspace, Chinese mobile otome game that panders fully to women. It had a revenue of over 200 million dollar in one year, of which about 40 million was from Japan, where it was the most downloaded story game for a while. If you properly pander to women, they WILL spend money.>>57207545Yep, see above. Mihoyo is too scared to actually pander to female players.
>>57207670>>57207668So it's just this shit again
>>57207682>Yep, see above. Mihoyo is too scared to actually pander to female players.Thier fault, they opened with MASSIVE pandering to male players and those became their main consumer group, if they had opened with loads of hot girls and hot guys like Marvel Rivals did, they would have a more diverse consumer base.
>>57207691Yes just with the trainer being feature in the image itself in FA, BUT this already happened before with non "trainer owned" pokemon cards which feature a human in the FA like pic related for example.
>>57207712Another one, i really love this one.
>>57207726This one is also cute.
>>57207693Yeah they put themselves in a corner. I think what happened is that they started to pander to female players because they noticed they spend pretty well, THEN noticed the backlash from male players and backpedaled on their plans real hard. I mean the backlash was so extreme that retard players collected like 12k dollar to put a fucking anti-Mihoyo blimp up the fucking sky in China because one female character was designed by a "feminist" or some shit. Mihoyo is fully aware that this is their audience now, so they are scared shitless to upset male players.
>>57207524Their colors complement each other.
>>57207693>>57207743Stop being disingenuous as if Genshin didn't hit its lowest point in every way when they only released males from Fall 2022-2023 and permanently poisoned the game's reputation. Women historically don't pay that much for gacha, and LaD seems like an exception to the rule because it is the only exception available.Pocket Monsters btw.
>>57205353Pokenuis, guess I'll have to keep an eye out for... I don't know. Calens?
oh i was hoping for diantha/hilda and diancie sync pair stuff, i guess there's nothing for me...
>>57208097People like you are the reason why it's failing.
Does anyone know which sync pairs sold the best in pokemas? We can debate all day about other gacha games, but it doesn't matter how much girls spend in other franchises when we can look at numbers for the franchise we're actively discussing instead.
>>57208450We can guess by the number of alts each girl got.
>>57208271I got both characters on current rate up and I will C6 another in a couple of weeks, so nice try.I'm sure you'll do the same for Wrio, fujofilth,
>>57205577Games like Go, TCG Pocket and even Sleep focus on the monsters and you only have to recognize a few of them to enjoy the game. Any amount of experience with the mainline games is enough. Masters is a terrible game if you only like one character or only care about a few generations. If you aren't in the audience that plays EVERY mainline generation it's not for you. Most people aren't autistic enough to play every generation and only know the generations they know and the monsters they know.
>>57208450You can check the revenue in this site, and last year's highest earning month was in September with the Arc Suit banner (Cynthia, Lance, and Steven), but that's cause it was Anniversary month. The site goes more deep into it, so you can check day by day and week by week, but it'll all go back to this. >>57208472. Biggest money makes = characters with the most alts. https://game-i.daa.jp/?APP%2F1442061397
>>57208623Also if the character is rather new, the speed of it getting an alt determiners if it was successful. I think Iono was one of the fastest alts.
>>57203742>pokemons
>>57206787>Just appeal to faggots by introducing males bro!!! But the money bro!!Go back to taking it up the ass from your furfag top
>>57204977>>57205508>Game Informer Interviewer: "Are they sentient?" >Masuda and Ohmori: "They're just getting by. They're just living."https://youtu.be/5SlzAXoO6CE?t=360Pokemon is becoming more humancentric because GameFreak's leaders and TPC think pokemon are mere beasts and won't let anything cool and interesting be done with them. This is a mandate which has been ruining the Pokemon creatures for many years.Denounce all animalfaggotry.
>>57204920Yep sweaty fat shoutapedos have the most cash to splash on lil boys, they know what they're going by including them
>>57208642Bro I know you haven't seen one in years, but believe it or not, women exist too.
>>57208623It's been a while, but I remember last time I checked, lillie and steven were up there with the most alts. I know blue also had a ton, but he's got a lot that reuse outfits, so I find it hard to count those.
>>57208816Steven has been the one with the most alt outfits, getting roughly 1 per year. Lillie just caught up to him a month ago, though 2 of her alts are the same dress in different colors, so it could be debatable. Blue has the most alt pairs.
>>57207522>I think yumes like him more than fujos.NTA but I notice people tend to use fujo a lot when they mean yume, and it's such a minor thing but it always annoys me to no end.
>>57208906It's not minor, it's self-inserters vs. voyeurs. Yumes like imagining themselves with Kieran, fujos were/are into Brassius getting dicked by Hassel.
>>57205797>All the humans in Palworld are adultsDoesn't matter faggot, only pedos would care that they're adults.
>>57208623>Biggest money makes = characters with the most alts.Blue has the most "alts", but half of them are freebies and he sold the worst on 4-th anni (he peaked at 20 on the sales ranks, Leaf was 15, Red was ~12)
>>57203742Iono being one of the poster characters for this event makes me happy.
>>57203742>Masters modelsI hope for the day a higher poly standard is employed.
>>57205349Juliana's cooler incarnation isn't canon.
>>57209744Still better than SV's models.
>>57209642If it doesn't give a new outfit to the trainer then it's not a real alt, so this makes sense
>>57209764That's a shading and art direction problem, not a high poly problem.
>>57208941Oh yeah I know the difference. When I, said it's minor, I just meant that in the grand scheme of things, anons misusing a Japanese term isn't something worth stressing about, but it annoys the hell out of me nonetheless. Calling every female fan a fujo make it sound like they all want to watch their faves take it up the ass when most of them aren't into that and just wanna date their husbando.
>>57208806>Thinks women are rare enough to not see one in yearsLook like you need to touch grass buddy
>>57205343>flopped so hard the dev team had to make a public apologySource? I NEVER cared about master ex (because it's focused on humans) but I'm curious if that really happened
>>57210016https://pokemonmasters-game.com/en-US/announcements/Other_M2_W2_1
>>57210001You're the one whose mind jumps straight to gay people when discussing male characters. Believe it or not, women are more common than gays.
>>57208623Do you happen to know how Penny's banner did?
>>57210043thanks anon
>>57210043So... what they did wrong and how they can fix it?
>>57203742Good, pokegirl bikini summer cameltoe calendar when?
>>57210443Master EX was the fix.
>>57203746Fuck off yuritroon
Pokemon company will visually harass players with 500 roidbeast "women" and blacks in the games, but when it's time to make some real money with merch (75% of their income) they're totally shameless and the only SwSh character you see on the shelves is Ionofunny how that happenswhere's the Ryme and Grusha acrylic stands?
>>57211402I want Dendra :(
>>57211419If your NPC has "clones", they're just as much an individual character as a Jenny or Joy.
>>57211402Because is not a Paldea only campaign retard, why are you not complaining that the only gen 3 Rep is Steven?
>>57208906Yeah I figured that was the case, but I will correct anons nonetheless so they finally fucking learn that there's a difference. It's fucking annoying.
>>57211534because he has an agenda and that goes against it so he just conveniently ignores it
>>57211402>Iono>SwshAre you fucking RETARDED?!
>>57211402Iono is from SV, you fucking twat.
>>57204977Didn't the recent leaks say that someone at GF feared this scenario?
>>57212300No.
>>57212300>>57212496Iwao basically said who cares about the human characters Pokemon is about building le bonds with your Pokemone etc. etc.Basically he's a retard
>>57212575I'm pretty sure this quote was specifically about the cancelled movie.
I want more human focused pokemon merch.
>>57203742Mini skirt...
>>57212660What cancelled movie?
>>57211343>Wants to date men insteadFaggot
>>57208623Does anyone play Pokemon Masters EX in 2025? Those numbers are very low.
>>57211402I have a Grusha acrylic stand. And an Arven. Ooga booga.
>>57203813Man, the trainer line a couple years back was so much better. It even had fresh new art for everyone.
>>57214160And it had erika :)
>>57205546>why are gen 6 characters considered a flop when all gen 2 bitches are in the same situation?Whitney, Jasmine, Clair, Karen, and Lyra are easily recognized by anyone in the fandom, and some of them are recognized outside of the fandom (Kris being the only exception due to her not having appeared in over 20 years), which is not the case with the Gen 6 girls. Even their most promoted girl, Korrina, is incredibly unpopular.
Why is there no merchandise of Red and Blue as adults? They made aged up designs for the 20th Anniversary, but never use them anymore. Seems like a possible goldmine for Pokemon to do this.
>>57211534>Because is not a Paldea only campaignGood. I'm tired of seeing Galar and Paldea in human merch.
>>57214123Masters flopped so hard in 2024 that anniversary couldn't beat the strongest non anni month of 2023>>57214274They're probably burying these designs because they noticed they have to introduce more age-altered versions of Kanto and Johto characters for these to make any sense
>>57214186Serena is the most promote girl from gen 6... although she may don't count because MC bonus and everyone knows Hex Maniac, to GF's horror.
>>57214123>Does anyone play Pokemon Masters EX in 2025?Its the only pokemon game worth playing nowadaysseeing how dogshit SWSH and SV were
>>57214186>Whitney, Jasmine, Clair, Karen, and Lyra are easily recognized by anyone in the fandom, and some of them are recognized outside of the fandomKek, virtually no one outside of here recognizes Karen or Jasmine. At least Korrina is backed by having the megafurfag
>>57203742>No GrushaLame, he is getting non stop doujins lately so he is rather popular.
>>57214038Some homo movie about searching for the reason why a friend committed suicide over cyber bulling>where's the pokemon in thisThe setting was the pokemon world and that's about it.
>>57214038>>57214922Yeah, that. The movie was cancelled because they thought the focus on Pokémon was way too small. It was about that movie specifically, not the franchise in general. People keep misquoting it.
>>57214968If GF really wanted to make a pokemon related thing where the humans take precedence over the mons, they should give the characters to monolith soft and ask them to "make a game about them".
>>57215018But they clearly don't want that.
>>57214274>>57214586They should just retcon the Battle Tree as a time portal instead of suggest Sun and Moon was a timeskip
>>57215122Or getting help from them with normal pokemon games, MS could easily solve all their programing problems with GF is too prideful and stupid, they are literally the only ones in Nintendo that never get help from Monolith Soft.
>>57215314*But GF is too
I found this, it's four months outdated, but it helps to show which characters are the big money makers.
>>57215314Honestly the writing in SV was good, it's the graphics that needs outsourcing, which MS could also do.
>>57216145>Annoying battle obsessed girl>DEI approved freak with overused "I was bullied" backstory >Beaten to the ground kid with "shitty parents"It was shit, the only good plot was the Kieran's one.
>>57216248Why, cause you have a cucking fetish?
>>57215314Monolith Soft helped with PLA.
>>57203746go watch vtubers or something if you want that troon shit
>>57216292I played PLA and nowhere in the end credits Monolith Soft logo appeared like it happened with other games they helped like splatoon and BoTW.
>>57216399MS as a whole didn't, but there were probably a few employees used as consultants. Noriko Uono did PLA's Field Design and she's an illustrator at Monolith Soft.
>>57211402>the only SwSh character you see on the shelves is IonoAre all /vp/ users always this retarded?
>>57216440The average /vp/tard cannot fathom the idea that the pokemon franchise has "multiple canons" exclusive to their respective mediums, no, they only accept "one canon" and disregard everything else.
If only masters was actually fun to play.
>>57216427That is next to nothing.
>>57216440no, they just don't play the switch games
>>57203742Hopefully it will be better than the one from BW2
>>57217203The only problems with that one was that was too obscure and unfulfilling.
>>57217203??
>>57217348BW2 had a long sidequest that ended you going in a date with a girl/guy that is actually a super popular idol.
>>57214793Anon, don't fool yourself anymore. Everyone knows Jasmine is more popular than all the Gym Leaders and E4 of Kalos. Not even Korrina has a decent level of popularity considering her good amount of screen time in video games and anime.
>>57217613And Hex Maniac humiliates Jasmine and all the other kalos characters but Serena.
>>57217628The most popular chars in Kalos are an anime shipbait and an NPC deformed by off-model and porn. That speaks to the low quality of Kalos.
>>57214186Lmao Johtimmy pls
>>57217628>but hexxx but shiprenaDesperate answer
>>57204977Furry.
>>57217991>7k Hex - 7k SerenaLOOOOOOL what a flop
Card sleeves>N and Purrloin>Lillie and Clefairy>Hop and Snorlax>Iono and her whole team
>>57218276these are so cool, there's also this from the etb
>>57218276They look cool but why Iono gets special one with an exclusive style? Seriously, N, Lillie and the annoying little shit have similar designs in the sleeve while Iono gets something completely unique.
>>57214123More people quit as time passes. The people that still play are usually in too deep and/or have no standards for gobbling up low effort slop with continuous corner cutting. The game had a horrendous launch and never found its footing. Meanwhile TCGP I'm pretty sure passed Masters lifetime sales in like the first few months.
>>57218276Where you found this?
>>57214123I log in, do the bare minimum dailies, pull when my faves drop, and read the stories (though lately I've been struggling to do even that. I'm behind on the main story since it seems boring af). I don't like the battle system and they keep pumping out more and more annoying battles, but unfortunately, I like some trainers a whole bunch, so I keep playing to get some occasional crumbs of content for my faves. I want nothing more than for this shit game to die because I hate it, but until then, I'll continue trudging through garbage for my faves.>inb4 "just watch the stories on yt"Video uploads tend to either have voices turned off or set to english, and there's less immersion when the MC isn't my custom player with my own ign. Also no one uploads videos of the smaller shit like the trainer's homescreen quotes, and reading those on a wiki is soulless. Regardless of how shit this game is, nothing heals the soul like having a character you love greet you every day when you log in.
>>57214123This game needs to die and they need to redo but with an actual fun gameplay loop. There is a world where a Pokemon game with waifus/fujobait does gangbusters but it has to be fun/addicting to play. Masters is such a chore to slog through.
>>57214123It's not great, but not bad either. Enough to earn a profit at least... should the licensing not be that expensive. I can see it being alive for another two years to the despair of some fans.
>>57218577Pokemon and trainers are just intrinsically linked together. It may be great for canonicity's sake but if you hate a trainer/Pokemon but love their Pokemon/trainer you may be more hesitant to pull. Just give type specialists a boost when using their types with non specialist trainers recieving a lower boost for all Pokemon. They already seperate trainer and Pokemon skills for whatever reason despite never being able to break them up
>>57218732Love and Deepspace being number one out of nowhere is still fucking crazy. And they say women are more reluctant to spend money on mobile games, lmfao.
>>57204977Pokemon forgot what it was built on long agoThat storyfag nigger Ohmori isn't helping either
>>57219189Can't be too surprising since LaDS is the singular decent gacha for its demographic. It's like what Genshit did for gacha except for specifically husbandofag women (they deter fujo)
>>57219359Yeah but everyone always claims it's "not worth" to pander to women cause they alleged don't spend as much as men and/or have less disposable income, but LaDS shows that they OUTSPEND men if pandered to correctly.
>>57214586The only reason the Pokemon Company isn't letting go of that sunken ship is because there are some Game Freak employees involved in the development of the game.
>>57205577I played 3 years. The game is fun but very repetitive and limited. They barely added one mode in all that time, Legendary Arena. The last thing they tried was Battle Rally, an extremely tedious mode, RNG and P2W. It also influences a lot the disastrous management of the characters, they repeat a LOT certain characters: Giovanni has 6 units and Ghetsis barely 1 (even the failures of Cyrus and Lyssandre have 2 units each). People get frustrated waiting so long for nothing while you see the same old faces parading around. Even characters like Misty, Nessa, and Bea are very badly treated.
GF should make official pokemon gijinka.
>>57219895CUTE
Funny how the entire thread is that I need more fanservice in my children media when many gachas have many coombait designs and only some of them are actually popularthanks god this board and their opinions have zero effect in the franchise
>>57218276I fucking need those Iono's sleeves.
>>57219548>sunken ship>read it as sunkern shipI need to get out of this franchise.
>>57220270whining about "coom" just marks you as underage dude
>>57220353Wasn't just the fact he posted a shitty image of that frog shit?
>>57218276Let me guess, sold out?
>>57203742>>57203742N is too fucked up to notice girls, his brain works on math and formulas so you would need a literal data girl to get his attention and pokemon doesn't have a living virtual girl...wait...
>>57221729oh shit..
>>57203742Gen 5 was the start of making Pokemon disposable in place of human characters.
>>57221889Gen 5 made a story about the bond between humans and pokemon, you're thinking of gen7+
>>57221895Gen 6 characters were so forgettable that a NPC overshadowed all them except the female MC so GF overcompensated with gen 7.
>>57221729S3rl wrote a song about this…
>>57222540Who? Google gives me some ugly australian guy, please don't tell me is this guy.
I thought the main reason people liked pokeymon was the fuckbait girls?

>>57203742The Hyena girls change all!
>>57222603Who?
>>57222598I thought you mean something specific about Miku and N...not about the "math guy and virtual girl" theme...You ruined my day.
>>57222797Would not be surprised if he had some shitty miku song
>>57207682>>57207160FGO and GBF omnipander relatively successfully, but they're an older breed of game and probably cant be replicated these days
>>57222834FGO was based on an existing IP even if it was a new entry with (now) mainly new characters, if anything Masters is closer to that.
>>57203746Will never happen because this isn't an official waifu franchise.But we might get the closest thing to it, like e.g. a ratio of 2/10
>>57218242I haven't cared about Pokemon for 15 years, I started using /vp/ 2 months ago and I still don't know what Hex Maniac looks like. My cherry is about to be popped, though.
>>57203751I can tolerate DEI when it gives me attractive lesbiansI barely ever have to tolerate it
>>57224206DEI is to blame we have so many good female characters nowadays.Can you imagine characters like Iono or Sango 20 years ago? It would never have happened. They took shit way too seriously in the olden days, particularly with the female characters. It's not even necessarily a cultural change, it's just that DEI made it possible we have a lot of female characters instead of just a few one offs in the anime or irrelevant sides in the games.
>>57224485Iono and Sango are the complete opposite of what DEI wants, Penny is what DEI wants and look how unpopular she is for a character with so much screentime.
>>57224485You are insane, DEI want more "ugly girls" because pretty girls are "sexist".
>>57224485Iono is a middle finger to DEI, her hair is has the colors "they" are trying to claim for themselves but she is 100% a girl so this offends them.
>>57226265From what I've seen the only people offended by her are people are anti-vtubers who don't know that she's not a vtuber or anti-trans yelling at Harajuku colors
>>57224796How the fuck is Penny DEI
>>57226321>Ugly hacker girl >Extremely genderless look>Beaten to the ground "Bullied" backstory >Lesbian >Extremely hypocrite
>>57226366and the Tera line
>>57226374The part where she shittalks the "my parents are assholes/dead" guy?
>>57226366>Lesbianonly if you're on the shipper spectrum that is
>>57226430Dude, the bitch outright lust for YOU MOM!
>>57226457*Your
>>57224485
>>57226366>Ugly hacker girl Opinion, she's not objectively ugly>Extremely genderless lookShe's literally wearing a skirt and has a very feminine face>Beaten to the ground "Bullied" backstoryNot DEI >Lesbian Headcanon, she thinks Atticus is good looking>Extremely hypocriteNot DEICool headcanons bro
>>57228038>Atticus is good lookingThis doesn't mean anything. You can be straight and know that another guy is handsome or be a fag and know a girl is pretty
>>57228041Yes exactly, so she's not a lesbian either way, she just thinks the MCs mom is pretty
