We're 4 generations in now (6-9) of games with either shit performance, or content/feature cutting and they still get rewarded for it. Everyone knows the product quality is fucking abysmal but a bunch of people are still buying. Who are those people?
>>58950172shit performance existed in gen 2 and gen 4 already
>>58950172I like how you had to specify >(6-9)because even you know someone could have reasonably easily included gen 5
>>58950181How?
>>58950194>cut battle frontier>cut contests>cut secret bases>cut being able to obtain ribbons>cut berry farming>cut following pokemon>cut pokeradar>cut fishing rods>cut the bottom screen actually being useful
>>58950172>shit performanceAlways has been an issue. Gen 1 was buggy garbage that didn't work as intended across the board, and every game has had some issues.>content/feature cuttingGen 3 cut the day/night cycle, pokegear, apricorns, and a shitload of pokemon got dexcut.Gen 5 cut berry growing, the poketch, a shitload of pokemon from the games, contests, the VS Seeker, following pokemon, and the Pokewalker.Gen 6 cut the PWT, Pokestar studios, the dream world, and did not include several pokemon.Gen 7 cut mega evolution and several pokemon from the games.Gen 8 cut hundreds of pokemon from the games entirely, pokeamie, super training, and the option to disable EXP Share.
>>58950214So that makes it more apparent.Why the fuck is Game Freak STILL getting financially rewarded for all that shit???
>>58950206This. And gen 4 had shit performance.So, really, it’s 6 generations in a row of Game Freak being rewarded for abysmalslop.
>>58950172>Who are those people?Pokemon fans
>>58950322Shills aren't fans
you know pokemon is not only video game 90% of sales is merchandise cards etc..
>>58950393Pokemon games still sell like 20 million copies. Let's not pretend that's not a lot.
That also existed prior to you growing up, so I don't know why you're acting like it's suddenly a dealbreaker now you shit eating retard manchild.
>>58950784It's almost as if Pokemon games got worse over the last decade
>>58950172>gen 5 didn't cut anythingI know most gen 5 fans started with it so they don't know any better, but google exists.
>>58950214Technically Gen 2 was also going to have to cut a lot of Kanto until Iwata saved their assesGF have always been hilariously incompetent, they just got lucky with the concept and monster designs
>>58950848No, it started off shit and stayed that way, because they got supported by gobshite kids who were there to do a job from the outset, then be cast away for the next set of shithead kids up on deck.The problem is shithead kids think they're somehow deserved anything beyond their era of importance. When they grew the fuck up and realised the franchise's expectations for them (continue supporting us or fuck off, no inbetween, no compromise, you're an irrelevance, handle it) did not extend into offering them anything the level of attention they got as retard children, important as fuck to wring every red cent out of them because they're retard shithead kids who won't know the difference.
>>58951215It wasn't that bad back then.
>>58951239You weren't born. Yes it was. Sorry reality paints a different picture to the lies you told yourself, but it didn't suddenly hit the extremes of quality and production values, then drop because (You) showed up (though I do not doubt your mother's life would likely be in better shape had she not fucked it and demanded he wrap it up instead).
>>589502267 if you count the shit design of gen 3. Actually, no, gen 2 had shitty balancing, gimmicks and tiny soulless region design so we have 8 generations of slop.
>>58950172you have no sense of scale for how many people 1 million is. just none if you think any appreciable percentage of that discusses the problems with the games online
>>58950172All of the games up until now are trial and error. Once they introduce a new mechanic or feature boom its gone in the next new generation. None of these games were consistent to begin with
>>58950172not me. i stopped buyboughting at gen 4. i like the discussions tho and i play unofficial trash like hacks or showdown
>Who are those people?Millennials who never gained self awareness
>>58950224They literally get rewarded for being an incompetent company off of two years of buzz and nostalgia for it. Franchise will always shit money and GF will never fuck off.
