all he had to do was buy more. in a real episode he'd have to go to the factory and actually get to the bottom of the fad and there would be a joke about why the made them in the first place. now it just went directly back to trump and satan with no real explanation as to why it was happening.

>>214348276
Yeah it wasn't literally Pokemon 1 for 1, it was something they made up to represent Pokemon, and the plot was about the Japanese secretly using the fad to try and control America. The plot wasn't itself about the real Pokemon franchise in real life, such as what South Park does not which is just reference a real life topical thing and the plot is ABOUT that. It is absolute slop writing and no cope will change this.

The show is 25 fucking years old. Are there seriously people out there who think south park is this infallible magic show from another dimension that is able to completely avoid season rot and stay consistently good for its entire runtime to the point where anyone clowning on it must be mad and not because it's simply out of touch and not funny anymore? There's been so much to criticize south park about since season 12, the show hasn't been good in well over a decade.

Why are you faggots arguing over how similar this is to chinpokomon? Newsflash dipshits, a lot of their episodes are similar to chinpokomon, so many of their fucking episodes are just making fun of a fad, kids liking new thing, and it huts the ever-loving shit out of the show because it horrible dates some episodes in particular. I don't remember liking the faith hilling episode much when I first saw it, but I re-watched it recently and it was downright fucking painful watching it now. Matt and Trey really aren't as forward thinking or super in touch with social commentary as faggots like Blooms make them out to be, at the end of the day they're two rich out of touch old hollywood jews. The airsoft episode was actually fucking embarrassing, it really did feel like watching a corny old facebook boomer complain about zoomers for 22 minutes.

Not only is it pathetic that you set the bar that ludicrously low but it is indeed getting there, bottom line the show needs to be cancelled, it should've ended with you're getting old, I'm going to talk my shit, I will still talk shit after it eventually does die, and there will be nothing you can ever do about it except cry harder.

Trump has been a subject of ridicule far before becoming political, purely because he's a caricature, he's almost a parody of a businessman. Now that he's gone political and all of his skeletons have fallen out of his closet, he's more far-fetchedly Evil than most fictional bad guys in media. And somehow still a clown.

You gotta admit its popularity was cut in half in about 5 years.
Sure Pokemon cards and games still sell, but ultimately so does all nostalgia. Westerns were a fad in the 50s, that doesn't mean Yellowstone isn't a hit for CBS, that doesn't mean There Will Be Blood wasn't a massive hit and Oscar worthy.
It's never selling 32 million games again, it's never gonna have a Blockbuster Kids Movie released in theaters to massive fanfare on the playground again. It's just something to bring autistic people into contact with nostalgic people in their 30s.
You can still go into a lot of stores and buy Beanie Babies, hell they still make Cabbage Patch Kids and Furbies if you go to the right store.

Trump was deep in mafia dealings before you were born, Rudy (who was the DA at the time) was shielding Donald from going to prison (apparently it became a job for life).
Donald has rused and swindled every investor, bank, business partner, lawyer, employee, contractor, student, charitable donor, SPOUSE, mentor and pretty much every human being who doesn't share his DNA.
He was a legendary real estate Jew like his old man, and a draft-dodger like his grandpa, all before he started fucking around in politics.

He's always been a cowardly bully who 100% believes he has a super-IQ but is in fact just a midwit bullshit artiste.

>>214351845
yeah what i find weird is Pokemon STILL has a following, who might complain, but clearly they like them. i guess the 'competitive' side of battling is good, in a Magic: The Gathering way? but i skipped from the GBA ones to Sword and Shield, and it's utter dogshit. just as an RPG. even the dungeon maps were just straight corridors, fucking text-based/Rogue-like games can manage an interesting dungeon map.

but it is just a brand at this point, like those others. Pokémon Go, specifically, was a newer fad. but the franchise will always sell. even the quality of the games doesn't matter.

i've seen people play the newer Final Fantasy games and they're full-on action games now?

i think what bothered me about Sword is it just fucking TELLS you what moves are super effective. i remember when you didn't even know what moves did (i had a magazine explaining them all, which was great).

i know someone would get pissy that the game isn't giving you all the information, but figuring that stuff out WAS the one bit of strategy the games had.

These guys don't even look into anything they're parodying. They didn't even watch Inception when they made the Inception episode they based it on commercials they saw on TV and a collegehumor video (which they ended up plagarizing). They probably saw this labubu garbage on the news for 2 minutes and decided to shit on it because they have no ideas.

Thing with Labubu is that, usually something first appears and then becomes a fad, but Labubu is the fad, Labubu is popular because it's popular, you had furbies that offered a novelty, but with Labubu is just that it's popular, that's the appeal, that's the whole and only point.

Which was a dumb opinion because the original 151 Pokemon are memorable and well designed and they were based on a game with a unique and compelling gameplay loop.

Labubu's are ugly as fucking sin and are only popular because chinks paid money to astroturf them and forced celebrities to market them.

somewhat /tv/-related, a big push with the PlayStation was to market it to teens/adults. here in the UK they put PlayStations in rave clubs, advertised them in alt magazines, that sort of thing: get off your tits and play Tomb Raider.

Pokemon only exists in the public sphere because Nintendo money. After red/blue it was basically a fad game and by the time R/S/E came along there was only one spergy kid in my class(was 11 when it came out btw) who played Pokemon. Kids wanted to play real games, like GTA, Metal Gear Solid 2/3, Kingdom Hearts, Silent Hill 2, and 3 and games like Burnout. I could go on. Everyone was also tired of the formula. Back then we had less tolerance for formulaic bullshit. And really, Pokemon’s only back in the eye of normalfags because of muh collecting aspect. It started with Pokemon Go and now it’s dumbass cards that people don’t even play. So yes, Pokemon is basically a fad that comes and goes and I’d say it’s on life support
>>
>>214358712
this, except that last part. i don't know who is playing Pokemon, but apparently the games sell.

but yeah i felt like i was 'hanging on' playing Gold/Silver, barely any kids cared any more. plus it meant you had to buy a Game Boy Color (i played it in black-and-white on my Game Boy Pocket ;_;)

i HAD a GBA but Pokemon was for 8-year-olds. didn't play it until years later, in an emulator. the DS ones look terrible. low-poly graphics instead of pixel art, and apparently they have a plot beyond 'win at Pokemon'.

I stepped out when they confused Ghost Hunters for Ghost Adventures (GH doesn't overreact to every tiny thing like GA does) and ripped off another parody of Inception rather than just watch the fucking movie. The desperation to remain relevant despite their inability to actually keep up with modern trends makes it all feel kind of toothless.

I've actually been collecting Be@rbrick for almost two decades and especially the last five ordering from a Japanese site (that also has doujins). Oddly enough it has a huge crossover with Sneakerheads. I see them at collector sneaker stores up the mall.
And it isn't the same as Popmart as it is by Medicom, a Japanese company. I've noticed over the past few years more and more Chinese blind boxes have flooded thr market. They have crowded out the US and Japanese brands. Sure, it's all manufactured in China, but China has invaded with their own brands to push out ones owned by the US and Japan. Aside from giving money to a CCP controled brand, the quality often is lacking.

The only people listening to the most popular popstars nowadays are seriously like 8 - 13 year old girls, and over the age of 13 its because they grew up with them at those ages, and most of their popularity is money laundering not real fame aside from Swift and Grande (with a few other names). Eventually, this bubble has to burst when tastes or demographics change, or there's a recession or crash of some sort. That's when I'd expect something like a new film style, new major film topic, or a big boom in a music genre like rock. Especially if the internet goes down through age verification I'd expect a return to monoculture.

Isn't this just the 2025 version of the chinpokemon episode.
I was more dissapointed they went with the
>labubu demonic????
angle which is basic boomer stuff instead of the chinese aspect

>pro iraq war
>ruined a season's storyline because they thought hillary clinton would be president
>sided with al gore on climate change (???)
>will gleefully shit on red team in politicsball but wont utter a peep about blue team
If you haven't figured it out already the writers of south park are a bunch of champagne socialist cock suckers who are massively out of touch with reality.

That chart is outdated. Scarlet/Violet and Sword/Shield have both passed Gold/Silver.

>sided with al gore on climate change (???)
For me, this is the weirdest one. While it was obvious that they didn’t believe global warming at the time, the whole point of Manbearpig was less about the issue and more that Al Gore was making the issue about himself. Hell, pretty much all anti climate change episodes targeted people acting like idiots over it, not the issue itself.
Cucking themselves over manbearpig is implying that an inconvenient truth isn’t a pseudo scientific scaremongering piece, which is obvious bullshit. They could easily have had an episode where Manbearpig actually is real, but people like Gore attention whoring has caused the problem to spiral out of control.

I always assumed 10 year olds kept playing while we were growing out of it in our teen, and then after a while nostalgia kicked in for millenials too and the players base got bigger.
I also have a sperg nephew, 15, whom I see only playing childish nintendo games, mario, pokemon, or sonic, and not one teen game I would have played at his age, like gta or fortnight or overwatch, whatever would be the equivalent to counter strike now, may be something happening on a larger scale.

This IS Trump Park after all. Or did you manage to forget with the hundreds of 'tiny dick' 'jokes' every episode?

There was and there always will be a group of adults with autism who will support it until they collectively die of congestive heart failure.

for me it was

pogs, beanie babies, tamagotchis, furbies, pokeman cards, tech deckz, yugioh cards, beyblades,

pure sovl

zoomers are so embarrassing with their labubu and funko pops, literal consumerist whores

Their ratings are falling off a cliff. I watched the first 2 eps out of morbid curiosity and confirmed that it was shitter than I could have imagined. The only reason anyone’s talking about this garbage is to argue with trolls saying MAGA are mad

Don't bother. Modern South Park defenders are either shills or brain-damaged.
