>There was a point in time where Pokemon copied Yokai Watch and it was considered a legit competitor>Now Yokai Watch devs are so irrelevant and creatively bankrupt they openly use ai throughout game development and official concept art and illustrations while Pokemon always uses real artistsWhat went wrong?
>>58803702Ai replaced real artist because its superior
AI is, sadly, the new industry standard. Some companies are just smart enough to not tell people this.
There's nothing wrong with using AI for this kind of stuffI've been using it to refine logos and designs and once I get it honed in I can spend the few bucks to have an actual person give me the exact changes I'm looking for
>>58803702>NowThis looks old though
>>58803702A lack of passion, unironically. If you use AI, it means you don’t give a shit and just want to put slop out for the sake of it. If you go out in the world, truly use your mind and senses, and then utilize your own labor to craft something, even if it’s imperfect, signifies that you’re passionate about what you’re making.
>>58803894>muh passion Ironic to say this about a zombie franchise like Pokemon
>>58803716Brown third worlder post
>>58803702>Yokai Watch devs are now selling official shota AI galleries on PixivWhat a timeline...
>>58803702Despite what most people believe Game freak cares a lot about Pokemon as a franchise
>>58803702>There was a point in time where Pokemon copied Yokai Watch and it was considered a legit competitorPeople here are so underage that they don’t remember this started because the first Yo-kai Watch sold as well as ORAS in Japan, and Game Freak went into full panic mode.It’s funny how some retards here claim Gen 7 was good when many things were a literal copy-paste from that game.
Yokai was truly a fad. Like people thought Pokemon was in the late 90s. Pokemon Go came out shortly after the Yokai Watch craze and proved the franchise still had enormous staying power.
>>58803702We know from the recent Teraleak drops and from what a few of the dataminers like Moot confirmed, that Gamefreak has been using AI for quite a while as well, including for their Pokemon designs, is it any fucking wonder shit like Mega Raichu looks like AI slop or shit like Mega Feraligatr looks so bad? Gamefreak has no standards either or any passion left. The only one who gave a shit about Pokemon was Masuda and thanks to Ohmori selling him out after the spat the former and Sugimori had, he's banned from directing games anymore. They even saddled his name with the failure that was BDSP just to screw him over out of sheer pettiness. Ohmori does not care, he literally admits as such in several documents found in the Teraleak, he's the reason Megas were done poorly in XY and ORAS, he's the reason the gyms in gen 6 suck, he's the reason Megas were shafted pretty late into gen 8 and for that matter why gen 8 was so shit. The faggot wanted to ironically make gen 8's focus sex, as in male and female, in spite of how nonsensical and retarded that sounds. He's a lazy apathetic pedophile loser with no creativity, and he has been allowed to direct Pokemon games since gen 6 after Masuda was kicked out halfway through XY's development. You can immediately tell when Masuda was kicked, because all the ambitious and interesting things found in the betas like unique dynamic animations during battles, dynamic lighting, interactions with the overworld and several other soulful little things were suddenly scrapped.There's no hope left for Pokemon, how can anyone be stupid enough to still pretend this series hasn't hit the shitter after gen 8? Fuck ZA was a boring slog to play even on an emulator backed up by a powerful CPU, the pop-in, the flat textures on walls, the horrible art direction, the awful grinding, it was bad.
>>58804007Green first problem post
>>58803702Most of the Yokai Watch devs went on to create the new Inazuma Eleven game which is better than any Switch Pokemon game
Literally all Pokemon has to do for any "competitor" is wait for the hype to due down.Pokemon was one of the last franchises of its kind.
>>58804244>Playing this nowThere's no way they're making their money back on this, but I'm glad whoever kept telling them "delay it again" didn't give a shit. That is a game I don't feel bad paying $70 for
>>58803702Nothing wrong with using AI faag, and also Level 5 is based, they made GOTY 2025.
>>58803702>sl*p buzzwordAh, you're one of these fags.
>>58803702>while Pokemon always uses real artistsdoubt this after SV desu
>>58803894I have a passion for AI, because I use it to create what I enjoy.Now what?
>>58804538>I have a passion for typing keywords into a box and clicking a button for 12 hours until it generates my ideal image because I don’t even have the ability to edit something let alone draw itCool bro
>>58804399Its almost at a million sales something Level 5 probably didn't expect
>>58803702In the leaks they were already experimenting with the technology so don't be surprised if during the gen 10 era it starts popping up
>give up we won :(you will never have a soul and the second your AIgrift is exposed your company will go under, sorry but I don't make the rules
>>58803702>they openly use ai throughout game development and official concept art and illustrations while Pokemon always uses real artistsYet still make better games than ZAss
>>58804146>The faggot wanted to ironically make gen 8's focus sexSo this was meant to serve as foreshadowing
>>58805206They've been using AI since gen 8 what theyre playing with in gen 10(and mega dimensions) is procedural generation
The joke to me is that Yokai Watch is also published by Nintendo, at least globally, the same Nintendo that uses their cut of Pokemon to survive every failed or flagging piece of hardware they've ever released, or other things. I can see them wanting to distance themselves from Game Freak but nothing this new partnership would produce is going to match the global entrenchment of Pokemon anyway (something GF also should have a little more about).>>58803721Yup. We just won't know the extent of it in every project. And different things will be too much for different people, too.>>58804146When was the Sugi falling out supposed to have happened.
is this >>58804146 really true? Ive been trying to get back into Pokemon but outside of a few cool monsters and moves it looks terribleGlad its not just me
>>58804244Victory Road was so fucking good
