>3/10 game selling better than 6/10 game is good news
>>58819507>Imagine being happy this garbage series with lame combate sells wellkys
>>58819507makes sense, plass was basically memory holed 2 weeks after its release. za has longer legs. plass basically just lives off a few agp infected fags spamming "it's le step in the right direction" despite it being an ugly 2/10 empty tech demo with dogshit combat and mobile game dex tasks
>>58819520>garbage series with lame combate sells wellBut enough about PLA
>>58819507>pla releasing in a highly competitive market at a shitty time>IT FLOPPED>za releasing right before the holiday season with dlc and for 2 consoles>barely outsold pla and sales have peaked and will only continue to drop until it's forgottenkek you are retarded, it flopped hard
Japan loves kalos the most
>>58819525PLA didn't have predatory shitty DLC and unexisting post game, also Volo > L
ZA is objects better than PLAss in every way that matters.
>>58819544>troon genie fetch quest, the worst rematches in the series, and rollslop arceus fight after doing all your mobile game dex tasksza dlc the fuck out of pla's nonexistent postgame and slop update
>>58819557Explain how the grinding in ZA is somehow better than PLA, both are tedious
Arceus had no longevity without PvP, and the battle system was half hearted anyway.ZA bringing back Megas with fully interactive battles is the best change they've made since original XY first added it.
>Boss fights actually involve using your pokemon instead of throwing bags of cocaine.>Actual trainer battles instead of watching bidoof use tackle 40 times >Memorable characters instead of forgettable memberberries
>>58819507ZA >megas for the original and new starters, forever promoting them to shillmons >has PvP>redeemed Zygarde >takes place in Kalos the region of beauty >made for the western man Plass>nada for the original starters and regional replacements for the new starters >empty field with nothing to do except change goodra's shitty diaper>gardenia but a trannymanny >takes place in Shitnoh, home of furries and "marrying Pokemon" >made for perverted nips
>>58819507don't care lol pla is still the best mainline switch game

>>58819623The irony is Japan doens't give a fuck about LA
>japan only sales>ignoring context of a game released in january's "launch-aligned sales" being greater than a game released at trad release window AND with DLC launching before year's endYep, megas flop, we knew this when XY series killed the movies.l
>>58819632They don't give a fuck for kalos either, given laiunch week sales of paired games obliterate L: Z-A's, what 9 week sales marque? And it couldn't even touch L: A's "launch adjusted" sales (it itself ignoring the fundamental difference between selling 2m+ copies in January-march vs selling outright less in Oct-Jan).
>>58819507I don't get ithow does this change how pla had better first week launch sales than za and still has higher total sales than zacope numbers?>>58819632nice fanfic bro

>>58819729 No wonder they don’t give a shit about PLASS, it ruined their remake

>>58819610Jeets are the only ones shilling ZA cause it has more children for them to jerk off to
>>58819741it's genuinely impressive how you manage to type sentences where every single word is a lie
>>58819776It’s genuinely impressive how that post is 100% correct and you’re only attached to plass because seeing mtf flint helped you with your own transition
>>58819766Makes sense, ZA is the newer game too so it needs them more
>>58819784nice projection faggot, is that why you're so obsessed with "plass" and using their tactics?

>>58819915>OP, [which proves me wrong]correct>nopeyep, not even japs liked japwank: the tech demo. humiliating defeat to be outsold by za, and less remembers than xyplass lost btw
Arceus was doomed to fail because as a Pokémon game it doesn’t have the inherent replayability. Once you’re done, you’re done and there’s no reason to come back or start over. Z-A is one it’s 5th post release season.
>>58819927B-but catching 59 bidoof and dark souls rolling is revolutionary! B-but the “vibes” of an empty shithole n64 map!!
>b-b-buh muh shitty realtime online battlezNot exactly a compelling hook for replayability. Especially since the rewards are something only *dedicated* spergs would see as desirable past a certain point (namely special balls, to go play the game to use them on shinies). Normies ain't gonna give a fuck, they're more invested in shininess for shiny's sake than becoming a battletard powerleveller or ball matching like the autistic among the dregs of the fanbase.
>>58819920>OP, who is retardedcorrect glad we agree>yepNope, it doesn't even prove that japs don't like it outside of your delusions>humiliating defeat*victory, ftfy, since pla outsold za>less remembers thanMorning sir
>>58819945>Not exactly a compelling hook for replayabilityYes, online multiplayer is always a hook for replayability, which is why it’s been Pokémon’s for the last 15+ years
>>58819959>OP, who [made my asshole bleed]correct>NopeYep, it proves japs don’t give a shit about your slop tech demo that you desperately want to be validated for liking>humiliating defeatcorrect, hence za outselling it>sircorrect, thats the way you speak to your superior, faggot
>>58819927You are delusional
>>58819964see>>58819959
>>58819979see >>58819761
>>58819752I don't know why sinnohfetuses are always so assblasted when it comes to Paldea but it only makes me like gen 9 more
>>58819961Except online multiplayer lags HEAVILY behind actual long-term playerbase. VGC has the same faggots for a ten year stretch, with scant little new blood growing in, as the younger set either realise how retarded playing comp pokémon is past 16 when they discover the opposite sex, alcohol and drugs. 27m sales of SV, but there wasn't even 1m spergs trying to be am vewy bestest, liek no-ones wuz. Same with L Z-A, same retard monkeys playing to reach A each season, but the actual endgame players are shinyhunting. Because shiny hunting can be done without needing to bother playing with spergs beyond two battles to get to S and the seasonal event stone.
>>58820341if no one cares about one line why did Game Freak try to shill the ZA starters by giving them broken megas?
PLAbros....
>>58819507/vp/....lost
All legends games are shitty filler between waiting for real entries
Mainline pokemon games have become boring after doing the same thing for almost 30 years and I'm glad they're trying to experiment with the legends games. They just need to use the results of those experiments to make better games in the future instead of half-assing everything like they've been doing for both mainline and legends up till now.
>>58819507Well, plass is shit.
Based. ZA is genuinely good.
I like that there's a board for people that like bad things.
>>58819507>make a legends game with regional replacement >it flop harder than bw>make a legends game with mega>become the fastest selling pokemon game of all timeReally makes you think
>plza is a game set in kalos that pander to kalosfans>kalosfans buy the game>pla is a game set in sinnoh that pander to unovafans>neither sinnohfans or unovafans buy the game.
>>58819507>singlehandly killed pla and regional forms as a concept press s to spit
>>58820714Regional variants are fucking overrated and I'm tired of this fanbase clamouring over it like it's pure gold when we had designs like fucking Alolan Golem and Alolan Persian.
>>58819757this is insane.........
Its pretty funny how people are still playing za today when pla died like three weeks after it came out
>>58819507I feel like I'm the only person in the world who ISN'T retarded! Consoomers just consoom!
>>58820714Regional variants are shit. Convergent evolution is based.
Common CHADLOS W
>>58819516>sales = qualityyes.notice how only fans of flops say otherwise
>>58819623> LA is for JapaneseThat’s why the only new mon is a tranny genie?
>>58820740People only started praising regional forms because Skibidigatr was such an embarrassment it warped what people think of megas
>>58820917>2026>/vpiss/ is still trying to push the "mega feraligatr le bad" meme
>>58820959>she say while shilling legends of on hub and troon Cynthia
>>58820959>shilling Legend empty n64 tech demo of BotW AsseusWhy are zoomers like this
>>58820602I mean we already know Legends 3 is its own thing entirely with pikmin inspiration. This is why you can't get too attatched to any one battle style or mechanic. But supposedly gen 10 takes inspiration from Arceus to an extent with dynamically occuring player vs group battles
Za chads wonned>>58820914Plass takes place in great nation of india
>>58820714So good, these mogs megas
Why are redditors obsessed with using thread titles and homo brackets like that?
>>58819507Clitties leaking itt
>>58819507>Garbage is selling more than Trash!wow
>>58820914It's based on an asian deity...
>>58819507Great for whom? Are you a stock holder?
>>58821151Post playtime.
death to all companies
>>58821001Yeah, I know. I don't actually expect them to go that route, I just want them to instead of the usual GameFreak one step forward three steps back bullshit. It's going to suck if they stick to what was leaked.
>>58819517It would be bad news if that were the case but luckily ZA outsold PLA
>>58819507Z-A had Christmas sales. Nobody will be playing Z-A in 3 years, PLA is still loved.
>>58820714I bought PLA just for H Zorua/Zoroark, too cool
>>58820771Because PLZA actually has an endgame.PLA you have:>Complete the Pokedex>Do the 30 minutes of postgame story>Shiny huntWhich is the absolute bare minimum, and exists in virtually every Pokemon game, PLZA included. If you reeeaaaally want to stretch it, you can include "do sidequests", but thats not particularly compelling, and again PLZA has those too. There was no real "game loop" outside of catching Pokemon and collecting mats while doing so.PLZA on the other hand, has an inherent game loop built into it with the ZA Royale. Raising Pokemon actually requires resources beyond just "that trash you get for releasing Pokemon", and you cant craft infinitely, so there's a direct need to engage with the game loop. And, to really seal that, it has an entirely new gameloop added onto it with the DLC (of which PLA hardly received anything of), AND online vs play. If you engage with the latter, it means effectively endless replay-ability. PLA wasnt capable of that.
>>58821179Great for everyone with taste. Gen 8 was Pokémon's lowest point
>>58821614They knew what they were doing with thosePeak regional design, smart of them to bring out the merch too
