Admit it. You're excited for this. It's like 1 week away from release datewhat if it leaks early?
>>722543239>It's like 1 week away from release dateWhat?
Eh...I'll play it if I can, but I haven't been too impressed by what they've shown despite liking PLA. Feels like they kind of missed the appeal
the last pokemon game i played was in gen 3
>>722543239I really don't want to be mean but like, time stranger just released. Why would anyone be excited about pokemon? I might pirate it in 3 or 4 months, maybe.
>>722543239I kind of want to do a new campaign of Violet on the Switch 2 beforehand, but there just doesn't seem to be enough time.
>less then a weekIt's 1.5 weeks away, but yeah very close.The real question is how early will the XCI leak? Anyone remember legends arceus XCI threads?scarlet/violet XCI threads?We should get waiting threads going soon
if it's as braindead easy as the last game then I have no interest
>>722543793There's already plenty on /vp/Even got Cory in the House
>>722543843>/vp/Pussy threads. the real leaks happen on /v/ 100% of the time
>>722543880Nah they're always on /vp/. Leakers post shit there, leak reposters repost shit from there, it's the ecosystem
Arceus was decently fun when I got it on emulator last year. Hope it's entirely packaged with an emulator like on Fitgirl quickly after release. Otherwise I'm waiting another year probably. Dawn's child pussy is so fucking hot though so idk if there's any appeal here if she's not in it
They took everything I liked about Arceus and changed it, so no.
>Pokemon game in almost 2 weeks>No hype, not even on /vp/Is pokemon dead?
>>722545070...wow
>>722545138/vp/'s collective hope for the series was crushed into oblivion 7 years ago
>>722543239lol no, I much rather play ching chong crypto miner blue protocol than that pokeshit.
>>722545563blue protocol is getting a rerelease soon I think? I'm still on that hopium copium for it, esp if they'll show kiddy panties unlike amazon's ruined kike global original release
>no special edition switch 2Not buying til we get one in nice colors. I'll just buy this shit later.
>>722545664I think it releases next Thursday, I'll try it to see if the game let me make a loli running around in underwear.
>>722545885Who is "Shanghai Bokura Network Technology" and "A Plus" even?"
>Avatar / Signature use
>>722546071>Schizo / pokedrone
>>722543239Hex Milf model rips when
>>Avatar / Signature use
i'm excited to pirate it but only when the dlc releasesi want to plan out a full mega team
>>722546032Who knows, probably some shady ass ching chong companies behind the game.
>>722546071>>Avatar / Signature useDoro is a social phenomenon, double retard and in your image you can see the image has several filenames too so is not even the same user.
>>722543239I didn't even bother with Arceus out of spite for the intentionally sabotaged DP remakes, so I definitely won't bother with the same thing but in a shitty region.
Somehow the graphics of every 3D Pokemon game looks worse than the last. How are they regressing?
>>722543239still don’t have a switch 2
>>722546289You can use more than one mega?
>>722545138/vp/ is dead, ESL Sharty cucks constantly spamming the place with bait ruined it.
>>722543823>pokemon>not easy
>>722545138>Is pokemon dead?Yes, please.
>>722546879There's easy and then there's the literal nothing the new games are. I can't even pretend to take it seriously when trainers have one fucking pokemon each.
>>722546435>intentionally sabotaged DP remakesqrd?
>>722543239plass was already the worst pokemon game no way ill bother with plass2 set in a single city lmfao
>>722546480Small company.
>>722543239why would I play this when superior romhacks exist that aren't made for babies?
>>722543239What exactly am I supposed to be excited about though?We are 1 week away from release and I don't actually understand the appeal of this game. What do you even do in it? My only exposure to it is seeing it in directs a few times and I don't see the selling point other than "pokemon game but set in big city"
>>722543239I USED to be excited about it...then it was revealed that it doesn't happens in the past and that human character models are still using the "dull and weird" style SV used where 3D human models just look WRONG. This is actually depress me, I really wanted to enjoy Z-A but now it depress me.
>>722546386I love Doro so much, I wish she was a Pokemon and capture her.
>>722547228And have sex with her
>>722546071>you can only use an image once
>>722543239It feels like this game has completely missed the mark of what made PLA special
>>722546386She could be using a filename randomizer
>>722547215Pokemon products always sell no matter how shitty they are.
>>722543239Fuck no, ZA looks like a damn downgrade from Legends Arceus, which was already just an ok game
>>722547310>what made PLA specialsuch as? sure it wasn't the empty fields, shitty crafting mechanics, ugly ass regional pokemon like goodra wearing a diaper, shitty battles, 3 total settlements, genderswapped tranny OC characters, horse palkia, no abilities, no pvp, mobile game dex tasks...
>>722543239If it was more like TLA I would have been excited for it. I'm not interested.
my ssd broke recently, am I supposed to use ryujinx or yuzu? I think I remember having both and swapping between them as anons worked out which settings worked better when games leaked
>>722547336Or be different users because there are dedicated Doro threads where anons exchange doros and doros make good reaction images.
>>722547073Not really much of a rundown to be said. No one was free because GF were working on PLA and SV so they ended up giving the game to ilca who haven't really done any games themselves so it wasn't really sabotage as much as ilca suck ass.
>>722547310pla was trash so dont worry next game will be trash too
>From Time Strangers cutscenes to thisYeah gonna be a no from me dawg
>>722547424>goodra wearing a diaperlmao
>>722543239I didn't even know what the release date for this was until you told me
>this will sell our game
>>722547448I miss Doro threads.
>>722547498MH Stories mogs this game so hard.
>>722547542Kek wtf, this reminds me when that Multiversus game tried marketing with the NHL, literally no one that's watching this is interested in Pokeshit
>>722543239I didn't even know it existed. I haven't played a Pokemon game since 2004. Gen 3 was pretty meh.
>>722543239I can't say I'm hyped, I don't like that it entirely takes place in the city and I'm skeptical about the new gameplay. I can begrudgingly accept the city part but I'll probably pay attention to leak threads to get opinions on the new combat before deciding if I'll buy it
>>722543239nah, mega evolution is cool but the battle system looks dumb and the thing with not being able to transfer back to previous generations with pokemon home makes me super not interested if they're deliberately trying to break legacy again
>>722543239>Admit it. You're excited for this.Lol, what's wrong with you OP? All the other switch games have looked complete arse, why would I care about this one?
XCI LEAK WHEN
>catch the pokemon 60 times>catch the pokemon without being spotted>number defeated>beat a pokemon with a super effective hit>number you’ve evolved>postgame: catch 3 genies and summon 1 trans geniekek @ pokefags calling PLAss "the best game in years" when it's literally a poor man's charmless BOTW ubishit clone where the gameplay loop is doing boring tasks similar to the shit you'd see in a mobile phone shovelware game for dailies
>>722547674I'm mexican and didn't even knew about that until 5 minutes when the stream went live
>>722547498>cutscenesI don't play games to watch movies Sonybro.
>>722547712More than likely you won't be able to transfer from Gen 10 back to older gens either
>>722543239I'm playing digimon so I don't care
>>722547847No shit anon you can spend thousand hours playing multiplayer but even I being a pokefag am disgusted by the lazyness of gamefreak, its like they are still using a modded red/blue script system for cutscenes
>>722547924Unfathomably based.
>>722547867LOL they went all in on this huh, only to get probably one kid in the crowd interested in maybe buying the game
>>722543239>finally releasing z>twelve years lateI cannot fathom a fanbase more buckbroken than pokefags
I still haven't finished Arceus and this game looks even more boring and lifeless than that one.
Pokemon hasn't been good since the Game Boy. Prove me wrong.
The combat system looks like Digimon World but without a Soul, I rather wait for Bandai to do another Digimon World game than play Game Freak's attempt
>>722548124GBA and GCN were a shitload of fun, spent hundred hours playing multibattles with bros
>>722547424You failed to mention PLASSfag's favorite point of derision, "replacing the battle frontier with a tranny genie fetch quest"!
>>722547424>like goodra wearing a diaperWhat the fuck are you talking about?
>>722548219Battle frontier isn't even fun people just want to avenge their 11 year old selves
>>722548124HGSS was the peak of the franchise for me, they kind of hit again with BW, but after that the franchise went below shit tier and Game Freak never looked back because retards kept buying their literal shit on a platter over and over again.
>>722548440If I haven't played since Red and Yellow, should I do Crystal or Heart Gold?
>>722543239I am excited as I am excited for my bowel movement In a rush to get the shit out
>>722548495Black and white 2
>>722548425True, but it still gets brought up as a point of bitching and moaning even though what everyone ACTUALLY means is they want the Battle Factory to come back, because it was the only facility that actually felt accessible thanks to using rentals instead of expecting you to build up perfect IV, perfect EV, perfect nature bastards, because all of the NPCs use perfect bastards in order to maximize the odds of getting the RNG necessary to beat your ass.
>>722548124None of the switch games were good you are wrong about gameboy beimg peak though
>>722548495I'd recommend Heart Gold, it's like Crystal with a lot more content and quality of life changes
>>722543793We'll get the rom most likely by Thursday or Friday
>>722548219sounds about right, removing infinite replayable content for landorus in drag you can chase through in empty fieldsplass is objectively the worst pokemon game ever made, even more offensive than oras
>>722548219I can't even read your post, what is this abomination you posted
>>722543239GOD I can't fucking wait
>>722543239the magas are some of the worse shit I've seen
>>722547498
>>722548554>all of the NPCs use perfect bastardsNot true at all, only frontier brains have 6IV mons. Not to mention how easy it is in modern games to max out everything with items anyway, there's no more excuses for you being a shitter anymore.
>>722548861How do I backport my easily-trained mons from the QoL era back into PtHGSS so I can use them in the Battle Frontier?
Cautiously looking forward to it.Legends would have been the best pokemon game in the last 10+ years if the world didn't feel like a tech demo
>>722547027are you talking about legends arceus? because there were only like 10 total battles in that game, battling wasn't the point.
>>722543239Why would I ever want to play this fucking Palworld knockoff?
>>722548901You either stop being a baby crutching on IVs or use pkhex like everyone else.
>>722548901pokesav or whatever is used these days
>>722548807Don't forget MHS3 which also humiliates pokemon.
>>722548746These new Mega designs in ZA showed me that Game Freak doesn't have a single creative bone in their body
>>722548901learn to rng manipulate or inject, retard.
WHERE ARE THEY GAMEFREAK
>>722548970>>722548985>>722549016So at that point, I don't bother engaging with the frontier because I can just edit my save to give me the Gold Symbols since I'm already editing my mons? Cool, thanks for confirming the Battle Frontier isn't worth my time!
>>722547424>>722548219>>722547786Here's one of the ESL Sharty bros I mentioned.
>>722549038they forgot about them
>>722549039you can't backport any pokemon from any game, unless you count the time machine from gen 2.
>>722549039You could have just closed the thread and pretended you already got the responses you were expecting instead of having out the pointless argument manually, but you chose to do it anyway because you find it fun. This logic applies to the battle tower as well, or indeed any game where you could just edit your save to have it already beaten.
>>722549038They aren't Red, so they'll never make an actual appearance in the official games because they have to maintain ludonarrative cohesion, whereas back in RGBY it was easier because there was only one gender to choose from, and the version differences hadn't become so important that your own personal choice of protagonist and version would be invalidated by a future installment presenting you with choices that do not line up with your personal memory of the previous title(s).The best you'll get is a gender-neutral mention of "that really talented kid who beat Diantha a long time ago" and that'll be the end of it.Also, Xerneas and Yveltal will be exclusive to the Mega Dimensions DLC in order to dodge the question of "which version is canon?" since they can just have Hoopa pull those two from different dimensions and/or timelines, leaving the fates of the game's native Xerneas/Yveltal ambiguous.
>>722549039https://youtube.com/watch?v=Xd5KcrdWOXELol you can do the frontier with 0 IV Pokemon, you shitter. If you actually cared, you’d learn to RNG abuse wild encounters and eggs, it’s piss easy in Gen 4. But you’re just a babbling faggot trying to dick such shitfreak removing content.
>>722549117here's the mentally ill plassfaggot coming to defend his dogshit tech demo
>>722543239even if it leaked, how would you even play it? There is no emu or exploits for the console yet.
>>722549289Its a switch 1 game with a switch 2 upgrade available you dumbass
>>722549321I forgot about the switch 1
>>722549148kek I remember stadium 1 telling me my pokemans had illegal moves
I became jaded, all I see in Pokemon games now is problems after problems but I don't like to be like this. I wanna be able to enjoy Pokemon mindless again, a capacity that I lost when the fucking dexit happened, now I can't ignore all the problems.
>>722543239I am only interested in the new pokegirls and what porn scenarios I could insert faithful to the game.I was actually thinking about taking out my 3DS(since it was my first pokemon game) and transferring my cute Chesnaught but then after surfing the web it seems I no longer(legally?) can do it since N took the some poketransfer app offline along with the servers sooo I guess I will wait until they release all the DLCs and for a discount after I am done playing the entire pokemon series.
>>722549624>but then after surfing the web it seems I no longer(legally?) can do it since N took the some poketransfer app offline along with the serversThe servers are still up and Bank can still transfer mons. If you didn't download Bank before the eshop was shutdown, you can still install it if your 3DS is jailbroken.
>>722549490That sucks, just don't give a fuck about it and have fun with the game, it's not a big deal and nobody cares anyway.
>>722549694>you can still install it if your 3DS is jailbroken.it is jailbroken I think. Would there be a problem If I transfer it to ZA? would they ban me from online or?
>>722550030Nah, Nintendo doesn't care if your 'pirate' Bank and install it to your 3DS. They even made it free when the eshop was shutting down.I think they would only ban you if the Pokemon doesn't pass their legality checker but that would only be flagged if you tampered with it in Pkhex or somehting
>>722549490Why would you want that? There are hundreds of other games that are actually worth your time just forget this garbage exists. go finish your backlog or something
>>722547424mindbroken by sinnoh chads
>>722549490You genwar on /vp/ too much retard, go play some videogames for once.
>>722548953Id imagine he just means the last decade or so, like the "rival picks the weaker starter" games onwards
>>722543239X & Y were raw potential that was never met and instead the marker flag of the years of mediocrity to follow.Why the fuck would I be pumped for a Z version that decorates its foreground builds with a plain texture wrap?
>>722545078Yeah I'm really disappointed by the location. I fucking loved arceus and finding pokemon in all the different environments, now I get to do that in a few parks, and only half the time? Fucking sucks.
>>722550228>legality checkermy pokes from Y are legal but I was actually thinking of doing a full pokemon play through(one game from each gen) but most of these would be emus and pirated.I take it GF does actually check if my other starter moms come from pirated games?
I mean I'm not losing sleep over it but I'm always up for a new pokemon game
>>722550547Pokemons from emulated games are still legal, only if you use cheats, glitches, gameshark/gamegenie, pkhex, etc they could be flagged as illegal.
>>722550547pirated and emulated games should be finejust load your saves up on pkhex before transferring and itll tell you if you have any illegal mons with a red triangle
>>722550623I am not gonna cheat in the game but are you telling me the big N doesn't actually check if a poke comes from a pirated rom??I would think they would put an unique string on each poke to check for rom/console versions and stuff.
>>722550828There would be literally no way for them to do that, a rom file is identical to a retail copy. If you can connect to bank at all then all it can do is check if the mons themselves are "legal" and if they aren't they just aren't allowed through
>>722550828lmao no anon, when you emulate the game you emulate everything, even the function that determines the pokemon data based on the legal rom. Hell you could even use bootleg games on pokemon stadium 1 and 2 no problems whatsoever.
>>722549490Want to know something? This is a problem exclusive to braindead pokemon fans such as yourself. Dexit in particular wasn't an issue for us monster tamer fans but an inevitability since every monster tamer series cuts monsters for each game.
>>722551221That's not the image I wanted to post but let's roll with it
>>722543239Yeah, I've always been pretty hyped for this game. I was actually quite surprised to see how like 95% of people already hate it before they played it. Kinda feels like people can't really think for themselves or are like bots or something.
Digimon time strangers is more fun
>>722551221>it's your fault for liking one of the biggest features that distinguishes the series from every other copycat nobody playsImagine being so spiteful that you're glad another game is worse because it's closer to yours.
Wake me up when pokemon finally GROWS up
>>722550412I don't even post in /vp/.
>>722551331So suddenly Pokemon shouldn't be like other series which are apparently superior?
>>722551331You think it's a matter of spite? No.It's literally inevitable as you continue to add more monsters because it requires supporting and altering each and every one every single game. Naturally there's going to be a breaking point where it's just not feasible.
>>722550941>>722550950oh sweet this does save me some time then.Thanks.
I'm going to be getting it but it's coming out way too close to digimon for me to get to it right away
>>722543239
I'm glad at least pkm became so stagnant people are more willing to try other monster-collecting games
>>722551472I'm pretty sure I said exactly the opposite, actually. When people complain about pokemon's failings they aren't thinking about other games at all, they want the bad new games to be more like the older, better games, not whatever fotm junk like digimon or palworld you contrarians flock to.
>>722551562You would had a point if the models weren't so shitty and the animations non existent.
>>722546071>a bunch of different filenamesretard
>>722551654The problem is that they're realising how much better pokemon is.
>>722551654by the time Level 5 gets their Yokai Watch successor out maybe it'll be a huge hit again and repeat the cycle but with gen alpha shitposters instead of zoomer shitposters
>>>/vp/
>>722551675Yes anon, because animations are the only thing that goes into a mon.
>>722551675And everything else?
>>722551696And Nintendo is too busy seething about Palworld to care about what Level-5 might be doing... if Gen 10 leans too far into nostalgia pandering, the Jap kids might start seeing it as an old geezer franchise again, giving perfect opportunity for history to repeat.Unfortunately, history's repetition will also include Level-5 getting greedy and going into full oversaturation, killing its own success, but it'll be hilarious to watch Pokemon once again shamelessly rip off aspects from Level-5 in order to help Pokemon rebound with the Jap kids.
>>722551654Any recommendations? I'm playing monster sanctury atm and its good but i'm not sure how long it will last
>>722551675Every time someone tries to discuss pokemon animations it just sounds like they think SwSh's rendition of Double Kick is what every single move looks like.
>>722551892Even beyond that, it doesn't help that they actively downgrade what good animations do exist. Compare signature moves like SWSH's Pyro Ball with SV's, or Behemoth Blade/Bash, it's fucking pathetic.
>>722551892>SwSh's rendition of Double Kick?
>>722551960It's almost as if they have to change the unique animations when a move stops being unique.
>>722551846wait for roco kingdom look up it on youtube
>>722552009You've never seen vid before?
>>722552093Did any countries get a special Pokemon themed Switch 2 for this? Australia's just getting a regular Switch 2 bundled with the game, and having a Pokemon themed Switch 2 probably would have prompted me to buy one. I don't have a Switch 2 and likely won't be getting one at any time soon.
>>722551654I only wish to fuck Kirlia-tan
>>722552272>Mounting and gliding mons @Nintendo@FBI@CIA@therealdonaltrumpDo something!!!
>>722552385Fun fact: any pokemon game that features good animations wasn't done by gamefreak, even more funny when you consider that those games are recycling models yet they still put effort in good animations.
>>722552423>is that a pokeball?
>>722552093Pyro Ball is still exclusive to Cinderace, and Behemoth Blade/Bash are still exclusive to the Hero Dogs.
>>722552385FOOTA
>>722543239Yeah I'm excited. To see how shit it's going to be lmao
Why Gamefreak can't do why monster hunter do and have several "skeletons" that can be reuse to several different creatures? It would make the world more easy and allow more time to make good animations.
>>722552624Is that suppose to be legendary?
>>722552624>does even react to itis there any feedback when they make these games?
>>722552659It has different forms.
>>722552654Why you can't speak fucking english?
>>722552659Zygarde you dumbass
>>722552704Doesn't fare any better and frankly, doesn't excuse how lame the dog looks
>>722551327>can't really think for themselvesCogito ergo game looks like shit
>>722552787Because it's 1 am over here I am tired, maybe I should go to sleep.
>>722552809It's definitely just Palworldfag seethe.
It's just a retarded premise on the surface of it. Why would there be so many WILD pokemon inside a fucking city? Why? Where is the police force? Does law and order simply not exist?
>>722552806This thing doesn't actually look too bad, compared to all the abominations I've seen after Gen4
>>722553003It's based on the modern world now since Sword Shield. So it's some modern nigger or jeet world.
>>722553003It would have been much better if it was a story about the creation of the city.
>>722552927Listen, I was excited for the game, and while I think it might be decently fun, in the end its another shitty product vy gamefreak
>>722543239>Admit it. You're excited for this.I'm not. Why the fuck should I be? The worst mechanic, in the worst setting? I'll be excited for the next gen, not this regurgitated bullshit.
>>722553003Kalos is a canonical shithole region obsessed with vapid surface-level beauty and ego trippers while hiding and punishing the "ugliness" that taints the region's image (society's failures such as the poor and homeless), as well as ensuring good deeds are twisted into mistakes on the do-gooder's part because it's every person for themselves in this cutthroat world, and kindness is just something to take advantage of.Lysandre was unironically right in wanting to perform omnicide to get rid of humanity, because the people of Kalos didn't learn a goddamned thing after he announced they were the reason why he was going to nuke the world with the Ultimate Weapon.
Well at least it should be emulatable
I loved arceus. Absolutely nothing about ZA looks good
I've enjoyed every pokemon game, even the ones trannies cried about and tried to boycott like SwSh and Violet/Scarlet
>>722553003It's all part of a project to make the city better for humans and pokemon, so that means wild pokemon can live there.
How's siralim ultimate?
>>722543239This shit looks like a $20 game tops. Still no voice acting too.I dread what the Black/White 1+2 remakes are going to look like.
>>722552663if they did that, don't you think the games would be better by now?
>>722545138The Switch era of Pokemon has soured so many fans' taste in the series.Scarlet and Violet were colossal buggy pieces of shit and Pearl/Diamond remakes were lazy trash.
>>722543239Arceus was great, so I am giving ZA the benefit of the doubt. I had a voucher left over, so I used that to get ZA for a little discount. Let's see how good/bad GF does with action combat.
>>722552659>>722552806Zygarde is more than a decade old, moron.
I like how every region set in america is a hellhole except Alola which is basically just a tourist attraction
>>722553631>region set in america???
>>722553631Alola is a lowkey hellscape too, lots of people with broken dreams, as seen with Team Skull (island challenge rejects who rebelled against society because of their failures) and cases like the Eevee Trainer who had to give up on his passions to work retail because he grew up and suddenly had to provide for a family and home of his own.
>>722551846Monster Sanctuary's only weakness is how short it is, but it's otherwise very good. Monster Hunter Stories 2, World of Final Fantasy, and the Spectrobes games are pretty good. Coromon is firmly mediocre.
>>722553680NTA but pokemon regions reflect real world locations.
Don't want to talk about it too much ITT because of the RA "controversy" but I recently got a Everdrive for my GBA and I knew I had to slap Pokémon Clover on there. Any tips for going in first-time? Haven't touched Pokémon vidya since 2023 after Renegade Platinum kicked my ass, great challenge though.
>>722551327I have pattern recognition and realize GF are not good developers and their ideas tend to be inconsistent based on my experience playing every pokemon game except ORAS and BDSP, most twice or moreI appreciate the experimentation, I'm interested in how the new battle system will go, but it doesn't appear that the things I otherwise liked about PLA are present and the new megas are so far largely mediocre to bad, which isn't promising if that's what they decided to lead off with. I have no faith.The biggest hook for me is just seeing what's up with AZ and zygarde, and hopefully getting access to eternal floette after 3000 years. I like floette a lot but the usable version of the little bastard has been locked away all this time. These are unrelated to the quality of the game however
>>722554116Yeah but there isn't a region set in america
>>722554281Unova, alola, and orre if you want to count GC
>>722554281Unova is literally New York City, and Alola is literally Hawaii.
>>722543239kind of, but i already got this for my switch instead, so i probably won't pick it up for another while
>>722555059>Januarydo you live on the moon or something
>>722555502it's a preorder for a japan only physical release coming out on christmas, so i may as well as far as delivery distance goes
>>722554261>I'm interested in how the new battle system will gothe combat is the only reason I'm bothering to keep up with it. I like it as a base, but I think making the battlefields larger and the combat faster paced would be more enjoyable. Giving options for combo attacks would be a great addition
>>722543239They still release games for switch 1?
>>722552423its chinese so i doubt nintendo can do shit
>>722552272You have no idea how disappointed it makes me to see other monster catching games with ridemons knowing pokemon did it once somewhat unsatisfyingly then never again. Fucking LGPE the game everyone blasted ass over, now look at the series
>>722552272Why can't pokemon games look like this?
>>722552272Somebody post the webm of MHS3 gameplay.
>>722547424Fuck you FemSilver was cute.
>>722543239If it leaks early I hope it runs on an emulator.
>>722545138>Pretty refreshing game with Legends Arceus>Scarlet and Violet try to do the same thing but they run like dogshit and the open world is too fucking empty and boring>Diamond and Pearl remakes leave a ton to be desiredPeople thought they were establishing some good faith again by giving people something new and then they went right back to the same old bullshit. Easy to understand why people might be skeptical of this, even IF it's a Legends title.
>>722552624Looks fun.
>>722556640SV was also just a much more clunky feeling game. You'll notice no one really complained about the battles in PLA because they were snappy and didn't take control away from your character, while SV just does it gameboy style. I forget if you can even throw pokeballs in the overworld in SV, and I'm pretty sure you couldn't have multiple team members lingering out unless you were in a camp. The mounting felt slightly more stunted as wellArtstyle was vastly inferior tooAnd as a small complaint, I liked that PLA had icons for shinies in the party/PC. SV doesn't for whatever reason.The longer I sit on SV the more I just don't like it
>>722543239I was thinking about it till I found out you have to pay to upgrade to Switch 2 version, I'll just wait
>>722552624H-he's fast!
>>722548219What's this Pokemon supposed to be?
>>722543239Literally who?
>>722559471You know the gen 5 weather geniesThey're based on some god myth in Japan and the pink one is supposed to be the one they missed before or somethingI don't remember the details because it's ugly and remove genie
>>722543239Not at all. I will however continue playing Palworld.
>>722559471the 4th chinese sacred beasts
>>722551221Dexit was stupid specifically because they didn't actually improve anything about the games, that's why people were laughing at how fucking awful SwSh looked in every way. It also retroactively makes them look even dumber for future proofing the 3DS models so much that they lagged the shit out of the console as soon as there were more than two on screen at a time.
>>722559640>>722559847So that thing is a female dragon? It's hideous.
>>722560186No, it's the tortoise.Landorus is the tiger, Tornadus is the bird, Thundurus is the dragon.
>>722560449It's ugly as a sin.
>>722543239I'll play it religiously but only if it runs on emulator perfectly. I have so little hype for this turd that it doesn't even warrant going through the effort of updating my CFW switch
>>722543239I have 0 excitement for the game because everything seems to be saying that the game is literally just the city with some story scenes and fights at night. They've shown basically nothing about the game.
Can't wait to explore this beautiful game
>>722559471Enamorus. All the genies represent a season and Enamorus represents the breeding season for pokemon once winter ends.
>>722545138>No main or "main" game since 2022>Every Pokemon Presents announces yet another mobile game people don't want>Gamefreak getting tired of making the games and it's become obvious to even the hardcore fansPokemon could stop having mainline games and it still wouldn't die because the merchandise is the real seller nowadays. In 10 years you might start seeing new Pokemon introduced through merch rather than games.
>>722543239I feel compelled to engage in sexual intercourse with plant monsters
>>722547498why lie? The in-game cutscene presentation time stranger is no different from the Vita games. it has more voiced cutscenes, but it's still the basic bitch persona shit 90% of the time
>>722551654>series that flop so hard it no longer gets localized
>>722543239I am excited. Legends Arceus is the best Pokemon game on Switch, so I have full faith in this team.
Gamefreak really needed to put RBYGSC and maybe even RSE on the virtual console in the past years while we wait for the main game in 2026.
>>722562540Put it on your phone
>a 200+ thread>crying about the quality of a children's video game IPthere comes a time when you retards have to self-reflect. You still like Pokémon, that's why it's an issue at all. No amount of coping and saying you won't buy changes the fact that you'll still be in these threads next year, crying about the next one. You're putting in just as much time
>>722562729If kids don't deserver quality, why do adults?
>>722562729Where do people get the idea that media for kids has to be shit and unenjoyable for an adult? Did they grow up on Spiderman Elsa or something and think that's how it's supposed to be?
>Don't care if the entire game is set in a city>Don't care if it doesn't have all the monsDoes it look any good you don't care about these things? I want to to play it with my nephew, but not so badly that I'll buy rancid shit.
>>722543239I have digimon to hold me over the next couple of monthsNo gameplay ive seen so far of ZA looks good
>>722562979You've got eyes nigga
>>722563085I can't be bothered digging up details about a pokermon game though
>>722562979The game is going for a new battle system so it's hard to say how fun it will be, I guess we just have to wait and see.
>>722543239Yeah, I'm planning on choosing Chikorita as my starter and I want a Barbaracle and a Hawlucha for their new megas, plus my boy Altaria, idk what else I'm gonna choose to round up the team.
>>722562729Retard
>>722549490I haven't played a game since X and YI dunno, to me this looks pretty goodMaybe you just need a break, or go back and play some romhacks of the 2D games
>>722547786Z-A seems to be distancing itself from the general structure of Arceus, all that shit you mentioned is framed around the idea that Hisui is an untamed region and you have to explore it and create the very first pokedex, ZA is set years after XY, in modern times, and the game is clearly shifting focus from capturing to a more dynamic battle system.
>>722550340Because he wants to play a game that has Pokemon in it.
>>722547424Horse Palkia was better than Icy Pole stick leg Dialga. At least there was an attempt at a design.

>>722545138The idea of being locked inside one city sounds desperately unappealing to me
>>722548219The definition of the eyelids already makes her look slightly more feminine than the 3D model which is repugnant. This is true of most of the gen 9 mons really.

>>722548380It's some schizo from /vp/ that hates PLA and tries to push the idea that snail shells are diapers/vp/ breeds many schizos. Or at least shitposters. There's was unironically a sharty wiki page that had guidelines on how to destroy discussion on /vp/
>>722562021woah that's a cute darkie, niggers wish they could be even 1% as cute
>>722543239i dont even own a nintendo console other than my n64, id rather play palworld
is this some sort of palworld mod?
>>722543239announcing dlc for your first mainline pokemon game in 3 years knowing full well the last one ran so poorly that the eshop just gave out refunds for it is certainly a choice
Heard there's some retarded one way restriction with Home but otherwise can't wait.
>>722567385By all intents and purposes this is a Switch 2 game, they haven't shown the Switch 1 version ever since the original announcement.
>>722543239Haven't been excited for Pokemon since XY, and in hindsight even that was a mistake>>722545138It never will, but at this point I feel a mercy killing wouldn't be unreasonable
>>722543239Idk mam buying mainline pokemon is kinda on reflex for me.
>>722552272it's funny how good the chinese are at stealing gamespalworld wishes it was that good
>>722567774They keep showing the S2 version because they want latecomers or those on the fence to pull that triggerThere may be overlap of famdoms that lead to hardware sales, but there's plenty I'm sure there are holdouts until a specific IP gets a release, so what better way to coerc-I mean, build hype, than spam the 2 version and not 1?
>>722543239when i get to rank A i will enslave all men in the city and turn them into eunuchs. they will be servants to my harem city
>>722568094They're showing the S2 version because aside from the fact it looks objectively better for marketing, Legends Z-A is unironically Nintendo's holiday bundle beast for this year, they have nothing else big enough that'd work aside from Mario Kart (and everyone that was already interested in that has it.)Just wait, they'll completely stop giving a shit about it in 2026, whatever games are lined up that year, ESPECIALLY Pokemon's 10th generation which also serves as the franchise's 30th anniversary, a very big occasion that'll be chock full of nostalgia pandering to get the millennials invested.
>>722567774*for all intensive purposes
>>722543239I'm not gonna get itgamefreak have put out way too many absolute trash games in a row for me to be interested in their games anymore, and until I get some kind of indication that something might change I won't get their gamesI didn't get sword shield, I didn't get scarlet violet, I didn't get sun moon, I won't get this
>>722552272looks terrible honestlyA good pokemon game should be about exploring caves and forests not running through open fields
I hope the story is good, Zygarde is long overdue for his time in the spotlight.
>>722568769Pokes that only take on a specific form temporarily like during a special move, phase, or state, are fucking retarded.
>>722562979>>Don't care if the entire game is set in a cityI'm honestly surprised that people don't consider this a good thing or at least a novel concept for Pokemon.Pokemon has been pushing open design for several games now and all of those (SwSh, Legends, SV) are heavily focused on large open expanses and natural biomes. Which makes sense, absolutely. The series has never tried to do a large scale city on a scale big enough to be more than simply a small aspect of the world itself. So going all in on making a large scale city big and varied enough for a Pokemon game is a new angle for the series. Do people seriously not think that's at least novel? I'm genuinely confused why people treat it like a bad thing.
>>722569452I just hope you can enter some buildings aside from the story-relevant ones and the cafes, it doesn't need to be that many but it would really help make the city feel more real and not just a cardboard set like say, Mesagoza in SV. It would be especially cool if there were entrances on roofs since you can get up on them, imagine if there was an abandoned building you have to get to the roof of fist before entering from a hole and finding an alpha Pokémon inside.
>>722543239>playing nu-pokemon
It looks worse than the first Legends game.Why would I be excited for it?
>>722568950You don't like Ditto?
>>722569756Is that real?
>>722543239is it going to be anything like digimon world? if so, yes
>>722569756Hijab porn when?
>>722543239Nah, I'm skipping this one. I play Pokemon for it's combat and Legends don't give it to me. Hope they announce next game soon.
>>722543239maybe i would have bought it if digimon didn't just come outbut the various changes from the first look unappealing to me, and the setting is also not something that interests me. i may emulate it, though.
>>722569756>French region>Full of ArabsYou can't make this shit up
>>722548807why does the parrot stop and roar instead of crushing them to a pulp with its massive momentum?
>>722569995Can't you tell it's AI from the sudden snap?
>>722570184No, it looks exactly as shitty as a current day Pokemon game.
>>722559471Transgender Landorus
>>722569867I meant pokemon that temporarily evolve, X/Y forms, shit like that.But yes, I'm not a big fan of Imposter. I'm also perpetually pissed at gamefreak for giving Zorua only Illusion.
>>722570423So you don't like ditto?
>>722543239It's kind of incredible how a box illustration can have the most critical elements of a game's appeal (Pokemon battles in the city streets, mega evolution, all drawn in a series-appropriate style) and still look so unexciting. Even the old "key art of a plot-relevant monster + title logo" shit would be better.
>>722570423>Doesn't like transformations>Wishes more pokemon had this transformation ability???
>>722570504You're a special kind of retarded, huh?
>>722570548You wanna re-read my post there bud? Because I literally did not say I wish more pokemon had transformation ability. What the fuck are you talking about?
>>722570504>>722569867you are being purposely obtuse, he clearly said "specific form" while ditto's whole point is that he changes into anything.
He will be back.
>>722570615>I'm also perpetually pissed at gamefreak for giving Zorua only Illusion.>>722568950>Pokes that only take on a specific form temporarily like during a special move, phase, or state, are fucking retarded.???
>>722570686Yes. I am perpetually pissed that gamefreak gave Zorua only illusion for it's ability, so it will always transform unless placed in the last slot in the party. You cannot farm or breed it to another ability that would keep it from performing and this annoys me.Are you fucking retarded? I directly replied to anon asking about ditto, I repeated what I meant earlier and then I answered him that I don't like ditto and then added that I also don't like Zorua having a similar ability. Are you genuinely struggling with following this discussion?
>>722570825>pissed about Issusion being it's only abilityMy bad, I read it as "I'm pissed off that ONLY Zorua gets this ability (because you wanted more pokemon to have it, I assumed).No need for name calling, kid.
>>722549278The loreheads who actually give a shit about "ludonarrative cohesion" have already had to swallow the fact that Pokemon operates on many worlds logic and every save file in any Pokemon game is an equally canon version of events. There's no real problem with shoving player characters from past games into new ones in that sense, the reason they generally don't do it has nothing to do with what you're talking about.
>>722570894>No need for name callingSorry, I didn't know Fucking Retard was your name, I just assume it was your genetic trait. What is your name you fucking retard? Is it Derp? or maybe Herp? It's gotta be some inbred shit for an illiterate double-nigger. "WaIeWoWiE I CoNfUsEd It" yeah, if you asked like an actual sentient human being and not just spammed ??? I could have just answered you and THEN there would be no need for namecalling, you fucking retard, but as it stands, you earned or moniker so now live with it, you fucking retard.
>>722543239I hate gen 6 and I think the city setting is dogshit because it lacks the adventure element which is key to Pokemon but I will still play it day 1.
>>722571010>Sorry, I didn't know Fucking Retard was your name,It's not, it's why I said you were "name calling" instead of "using my name".Why are you so upset?
>>722570654He dead
>>722545138Yes, Pokemon is dead, even though the TCG has never sold more and the games are among the best selling ones.Retard.>>722553489I don't give a shit about the bugs, and neither should you. I didn't even ecounter a single bug playing through Scarlet on emulator once and twice on switch.Everything else is the real problem but with the release schedule it's unavoidable.I think Arceus and Sarlet/Violet are good games, all things considered, and not deserving of the hate they get here. They sparked back my love for Pokemon as a 36 year old man.
>>722554281Black and White...
>>722549278Splatoon 2 and 3 feature your player character from Splatoon 1 as an NPC and simply ask you what they looked like if you want them to match up, 3 even let you carry over your savefile from 2 to skip the questions. It's something games have been doing for a long time. If Game Freak doesn't want to bother with even that, they could just tie Calem/Serena to whether you picked the male or female MC. I assure you it's not a matter of caring about continuity. They even obviously made the MCs of Arceus the same ones from DP but older (with their room from DP being made for the opening but cut) yet they pretend their identity isn't explicit.
>>722547424Story, atmosphere, music and gameplay were kino.Cope, seethe and dilate.
>>722543239I haven't played a pokemon game since gen 2, I just jerk it to the critters sorry.
>>722547712>mega evolution is cool
>>722570142> paris region> you can backstab other trainers at night instead of starting a proper fightToo realistic
>>722571303Only in Y. In X he got hit by Xerneas' immortality beam and is forever crushed under the rubble of his base. If they wanted they could make him AZ 2.0.
>>722548124GBA, DS and Switch exist. Checkmate.
>>722569756Its illegal to wear this in Paris though
>>722549490I don't give a shit about catching every single existing pokemon in a single game. Why do you? It's just an arbitrary requirement, it doesn't make a game worse.
>>722571680>it doesn't make a game worse.It does.
>>722543239i am. haven't had a console for a long time, got a lot of games to enjoy soon.XY was also the last pokemon game i played, so it's kinda neat coming back to this.
>>722572436No, it's arbitrary. More doesn't equal better.
Is there any reason to get the dlc day one?
>>722572708>No, it's arbitrary.Why? Be specific.
>>722572719Why would you buy a $30 DLC for a game you've never played, day 1?
>>722572719No, the only thing available on day one is a couple accessories for trainer customization.
>>722572748Its just you deciding to bitch and chise something random and irrelevant to bitch about. Being a castrated yapping bitch is why all your complaints end up being arbitrary.
>>722572748Why is it better? You argument will boil down to more is better, or?
>>722572885>Ask why it's worse>Lists literally no specific reasons why it's worseConcession accepted. Thanks for confirming you couldn't do it.>>722572918>Why is it better?I'll answer that when he tells me why it's worse.Burden of proof is on him, not me.

>>722573123>you are the one making the original claimWhat claim do you think I made?Quote the exact claim. You won't, because you can't.
>>722573215You implied dexit is a negative thing, to which I replied I don't give a shit.
>>722573330>No quoteThanks for confirming you couldn't do it.I knew you couldn't.
>>722572719The DLC is basically the postgame. No point in getting it day 1
>>722545138/vp/ is no different from a long running /vg/ general. At this point, the main thing keeping it alive is the waifus
Kinda wack that you cant do anything with the Pokemon you catch in ZA. Cant even send them to home. Only from home to ZA.
>>722573612>Cant even send them to homeWhere was this confirmed?You could transfer them over in the last Legends game.
>>722573406Pedantic. Here. >>722549490>when the fucking dexit happenedYou wasted my time, happy now, troll?
>>722573648>>722573612Does it count as a new gen? I think that's why. If so that's always been the case, stop bitching. You will be able to send them to gen 10.
>>722573612https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/news/pokemon-home>Once you’ve linked this title to Pokémon HOME, you’ll be able to transfer Pokémon from Pokémon Legends: Z-A to Pokémon HOME and bring select Pokémon from past games to Lumiose City.The actual limitation is this:>If you transfer a Pokémon from a previous title to Pokémon Legends: Z-A, you will no longer be able to transfer it to previous video games in the Pokémon series.Which I'm assuming exists because ZA is going to make some changes to the code that will carry over to gen 10. Pokémon caught in ZA or transferred to it (assuming they exist in ZA's Pokedex) will still be able to be moved to Home and future games.
>>722573746>happy now?Very.Thanks for confirming I didn't make any claims before you claimed "it doesn't make the game worse"I accept your concession, again.
>>722573834You are an embarrassing retard.What is even your claim here? That it was not you that posted that? If so it's not my problem, I was replying to that person, if you inserted yourself in the conversation and then claim you never said that you are dishonest.If you're saying that you posted that but you didn't mean to say that dexit is a negative thing then you're obviously lying.
>>722573834>>722573818>>722573934Forgot pic ;)Thanks for confirming you made your claim before me, so the burden of proof was/is still with you.
>>722543239my brother is a huge pokefag so we're splitting up the price to gameshare. Arceus was alright but I didn't like XY, the action gameplay might be cool I guess.
>>722574019>Arceus was alright but I didn't like XYYou shouldn't get this game then.
>>722574007Did you even read my post? Clearly not.I didn't make any claim, the burden is not on me.Good day, retard.
>>722573612You can send to Home. You can't send them to previous games if they've been in ZA.
>>722574075>I didn't make any claimHAHAHAHAHA!*gasps*AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!>>722571680>"it doesn't make a game worse."Is your claim. And you can't say why it's true or not.Concession accepted, for the third time. You lose. I win
I'm happy whenever I get to mess stuff up with my bat bro.
>>722553680Right but there is only 1 region set in america.
>>722574209Yes, because there's no evidence dexit makes the game worse, retard.It doesn't matter whether it was you who said it or someone else, for the sake of the conversation.You are not good at logic.
>>722574503Fuck you Masuda, Orre exists.
>>722574590>Say's he's leaving>replies againLMFAOu mad.
>>722574503America means the USA, so Alola counts.
>>722574650>says he wins>proceeds to embarrass himself and lose
>>722574730>Say's he's leaving>replies again>x2LMFAO
>>722556640My main gripe with ZA right now is that it has that same icky mainline smell and look to it that i know they can't just let the game be but have to meddle and push their shit.This was confirmed to me right away with that day one DLC announcement as well as shit like the online locked mega stones
>>722574915This is happening because it is in fact their mainline game for this year in the eyes of TPC until gen 10 comes out in fall 2026. They're not sending it out to die one month after announcing the next gen like Legends Arceus with no additional support aside from a small free update.
>>722575080*one month before announcing the next gen
I don't get it, does this game have gyms and the usual gameplay loop? Or is it like arceue just run around and catch poke?
>>722575405It's Pokemon, except you're stuck in 1 (one) city the entire game and can never leave.Also there's ranks Z-A, which seem to replace gyms/story progression.
>>722575405The gameplay activities are split into daytime and nighttime. During the daytime you explore the city and its wild zones to catch wild Pokémon, train, stock up on items etc. During the nighttime, trainers participating in the Z-A Royale tournament roam the street and you challenge them, you get points to increase your rank from Z to A and you fight specific strong trainers to rank up once you have enough points. Some of these will be the equivalent to gym battles.
pokefags are excited for this slop? looks empty and dull
>>722575687>pokefags are excited for this slop?No, just the most extreme of the cultists are.
>>722575687To be fair you could say that of any switch-era Pokemon game. Pokefags will unironically defend any game as long as you can throw balls at Pokemon, no matter how shitty everything else is.
>>722575936The other Switch era pokemon games look better than ZA.
>>722576062>BDSP>SVCome on.
looks even lazier than the last one. Pokemon makes their money through merch, they should just close down gamefreak and focus on other means of shilling plushies, cards and keychains.
>>722576062The only switch era Pokemon game that looks remotely decent is LGPE, which was gimmick slop made for GO normies. Pokemon has sucked balls for over a decade, it’s time to let go.
Ignoring the puke inducing visuals, I liked the concept of Scarlet, but it got ruined quickly when they introduce the shitty legendary mount. I liked how in the beginning you could spawn a pokemon to do a task for you in the open world. An item is out of reach? Spawn a flying pokemon and they get it for you. Then it all got trivialized with the stupid mount.
>>722576158>>722576335All of them look better than ZA.Yes, even SV and DP remakes.
>>722543239Last good gen was the 5th. Once pokemon went into 3D, it's shit. I thought XY would solve it but it sucked so bad I abandon pokemon altogether
>>722576685They don't, at all. Not even if you compare the Switch 2 patch of SV to the Switch 2 Edition of ZA. The texture mapping in the former is atrocious.
>>722577003>They don't, at allThey do. Even this looks better than ZA.Feel free to prove me wrong with some screenshots, but I know you won't, because you can't.
>>722543239nope I gave up the series after the switch shit they plopped out and palworld crying lawsuitspokemon has been dead for years
>>722543823Its a game series for 6 yesr olds, anon I think you're playing the wrong game if you want something challenging
all they had to do was stick to the lets go art style how did they regress
>>722543239wait its on switch 1?
>>722577654Yes
>>722577654Yes. It's a Switch 1 game.
>>722543239Yeah I'm pretty excited, I just don't know which Mega I'm gonna run between Feraligatr, Hawlucha and Scolipede.
I have the switch 2 bundle preordered
>>722577127Hey look, it's textures at higher than 3DS resolution.
>>722577817
>>722577817>Textures painted onto a block>Textures don't even loop correctlykek
>>722571358>I don't give a shit about the bugs, and neither should you.get off 4chan gamefreak
>>722577885Yet it's still a million times better-looking than SV.
>>722577817why are the games STILL ugly? It’s been like 8 years since sword and shield how have GF not acclimated to the switch’s hardware yet? Handhelds aren’t coming back get over it
>>722577948It's really not. The art style is hideous, just like SV.
>>722563961Then he can go play Monster Mind one-handed
I think the game would look decent if it wasn’t for the windows. The game must run like shit on switch 1
>>722577948>>722578043why did they change the character design so much? They don’t really look like pokemon characters anymore. At least sword and shield still had that look to them
>>722569452Because a single location isn't fucking interesting. I don't care what they do. A single city gets old. It's a pretty dogshit adventure if I don't go to the ocean, mountains, desert, forests and so on to catch ocean pokemon, mountain pokemon, etc. It is boring. There's nothing novel about it.
>>722577817>BinacleLiterally who asked for Barbaracle to get a mega?
>>722570160So when there's a bug on your wall you kill it by running full speed face first into the wall?
>>722578258>why did they change the character design so muchDunno. But for some reason they hired the character artists from the Snap remakes to do the mainline art now.It's souless.
Graphics look worse than FFXII
>>722543239i wanted to be excited for this but the more trailers they showed the less interested i became. it just takes place in a boring city. it looks like an okay game but also very skippable.
>>722578320The character designers didn't change, it's still Sugimori, take, Haruko Ichikawa etc. What changed is the style of the 3D models.
>>722543239Not really OP, I'm more interrested in this kino getting an update before the Chernobyl dome collapses…
>>722543239Why the fuck would I be excited for a pokemon game? The only good thing about them has been the porn since the 3DS era started.
>>722578665The 2d human art style is completely different.What the fuck are you smoking?
>>722578665yeah the artwork still looks like that same old pokemon style but something happened to the 3D models after sword and shield where they don’t look like pokemon characters anymore. I remember a running theory/conspiracy was that they were trying to move away from their “Japanese/anime” roots for a more (((global))) appeal
>>722571358Holy fucking fanboy.>as a 36 year old man.You forgot to add child to the end of that sentence.
>>722578476what a weird benchmark because FF12 looks fucking phenomenal and is probably the best looking game on the ps2. I get the sentiment but a lot of games look worse than FF12 lol. You should have said Dark Cloud 1 or something
>>722578692>Interact...<>Blow kiss>Whisper in ear>Romantic gesture>Bed...<>WhooHoo>Try for Baby <
>>722578906And its from fucking 2006
>>722543239Honestly thought this was out already, cover gives a sense of deja vu.
>>722578940which only elevates my praise for it and makes pokemon look that much shittier lol
>>722578790It hasn't, you can look up who did what once the game releases or even just recognize them if you know each designer's style well enough.
>>722579105Which is my point
>>722579175And you think there hasn't been an art style change from this to that?
Yes, I am excited.Playing Digimon until then. This is the closest I've felt since the 90s.>Pokemon>Digimon>both out and enjoying both.
>>722543239i havent played pokemon since sun and moon. oh and lopunny sex.
>>722579260Take has been designing characters for pokemon for 10 years man.
i have played and enjoyed every generation of pokemon. i own every mainline game (all 2 or 3 versions of each) from every gen from 2-9. i loved swsh, loved bdsp, and enjoyed pla and sv. i understand peoples complaints with modern pokemon but i genuinely enjoy these gamesthis is going to be the first pokemon game i dont buy. every decision surrounding its creation seems to have been made to actively try and make the game as shit as possible
>>722579416>Dodges the questionCute.
>>722579260Pokémon designs haven't looked like that for 20 years. This is more recent art by the same artist, Ken Sugimori.
>>722579554>Pokémon designs haven't looked like that for 20 years.I know, thanks for confirming that I was correct, and there has been a huge art style change.
>>722579554why does it look so stupid
>>722579509You'll go retarded irl if you keep pretending to be retarded
>>722579640>still didn't answer my questionUh-oh, stinky!!
>>722579624The conversation was about ZA's character designs compared to previous games, the point being that the artists and the art style are still the same as usual. Yes, it is different from what it looked like in FRLG 22 years ago, thanks for the invaluable input.
>>722579681Oh you want to whine about an art change that happened over 20 years ago? Oh no abloo bloo bloo pokemon ruby and sapphire happened time to get over it faggot
>>722579749Thanks for confirming I was correct.>>722579783>He's still cryingUH OH STINKY BABY
I’m not buying that trash, it looks terrible, i hate the hats and clothes the characters wear, i hate their expressions, i hate the washed out colors, 1998 and 1999 pokemon games are the best though
>>722579991gens 1 and 2 were so good the franchise has been running on good faith for 25 years
>>722579991>>722580142based
>>722578692Wait, is Pocket Campfire really getting an update?? Who are they adding?
>>722577932I played the game emulated at 17fps with constant stuttering. I found no bug.The only bugs I hate are the ones that prevent you from playing the game.>>722578868I can see the problems just fine. I simply think the games are fun for what they are. There's some good in the latest Pokemon games.I'd also rather play Scarlet and Violet than X/Y or Sun and Moon. Now those were completed dogshit.
>>722579991>>722580142>>722580298The gen 3 and 4 remakes are better. Now those are some thick nostalgia goggles.
I've been a Nintendo fan all my life, never played Pokemon. I just don't care about turn based games or similar games.
>>722580875I've never been a Nintendo fan and I never liked rpgs and I've always loved pokemon. I bought consoles just for that.
>>722543239So there is a ranked online component to this game. Can anyone confirm if it will be worth playing? Explain how it works maybe? I have not played pokemon since red/blue
>>722581282>Can anyone confirm if it will be worth playingIt won't be.It's the worst looking Pokemon game in years.
>>722579386PICK A SIDE
>>722582660No, kill yourself. I can like both. I even like SMT, Persona, Mon Hun, Yokai and Monster Rancher.
>>722580352 It's just my dream that will probably never happen due to moralfaggotry from credit card jews who see nothing wrong with OF thots and animal cock-shaped dildo stores.
>>722579634The professors in Scarlet/Violet are obsessed with the distant past or future, and their outfits under their lab coats reflect that.Although the key art is illustrated by Ken Sugimori, these characters were designed by James Turner, the British guy that worked at Game Freak for a long while and designed many Pokémon such as Golurk, Mandibuzz, Trevenant, Buzzwole, etc, but also lead the art direction for Rhythm Hunter Harmoknight, and then later Tembo the Badass Elephant, and The Plucky Squire (independently from Game Freak).
>>722579386I don’t see how you’re excited to spend $70 on a game that is far lesser than the $70 digimon game you already have. And I fucking loved Arceus.
>>722579991At least the player characters in Z-A looks like actual Pokémon characters, and not whatever the hell Scarlet/Violet and Go did.
>>722584009Not even the clothes, just the bodies and faces look stupid
>>722584115WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS LMAO
>>722580875The Legends games aren't strictly turn based.Legends Arceus does go into turn-based battles, but Legends Z-A features real-time battles where you have to position both yourself and your Pokémon, and you need to stay out of harm's way too.Pokémon moves are executed on cooldowns instead of turns, and have different ranges and areas of effect.
>>722584057I don't know it's lesser. How do you? What have you seen to make you say it's "lesser"?
>>722584943Because I have eyes you fuck.
its crazy that taylor swift and pokemon are both going to put out something so terrible that people actually start pointing out the emperor has no clothes on within a couple weeks of each other
>>722570160Rule of cool, he got a stat buff for styling on your ass
>>722543319>It's like 1 week away from release dateNo>>722543239I'm planning to pirate this slop on my PC for nostalgias sake, but I won't enjoy it and will very likely drop it before beating it.Crazy how gen 6 is old enough now to get nostalgiabait demakes. Time flies.
>>722585121That have seen what exactly? What Nintendo has wanted you to see?
i haven't bought a swtich game in like 2 full years lmao. idgaf. i have 0 interestin switch 2 either, nor its whopping 10 frames per second.
>>722553185I get this, but I want to play my pokemon game and feel good. I don't want some avant garde story premise that reflects the woes of reality. I want a happy, upbeat world to be at peace in.
>>722545667but they are making a bundle for it though?
>>722581282Nobody knows how worthwhile it'll be because the battle gameplay as a whole is entirely different in ZA, for starters. It's some sort of real-time system, with positioning and areas of effect and shit, rather than turn-based.
>>722586612The bundle is just a download code for the game, and the same Switch 2 hardware.There's been zero variation on the console or its controllers for some reason.
No, why would I be excited for a pokemon game? The last one I playes was pearl and it's going to stay that way. The only a
>>722543239I am hyped that it is said to be hard with the real time combat and difficult content
>>722586612I don't mean a bundle, I mean a special edition like picrelated.
>>722586659But comp is turn based
>>722553185this sounds like complete slop that i could not care less about
>>722543239Honestly, I'd usually grab it next week but we are close enough to the Christmas season that I'll wait to see if I can get $10-$20 off somewhere. Maybe as a bundle with other games.
>>722553185>A corp can just end all transit in a nationI thought Aether Found was bad
>>722587108That's what Pokémon Champions will be going forward.It's basically Pokémon Showdown but official, for Switch and mobile, relies on Pokémon Home.
>>722587601>cross platformWtf, I thought they were evil? I can bully children from the office on my phone?
>>722543239I'm excited for it to come out so it will stop being in the zeitgeighst. Game freak has been in a sort of "zombie simpsons" state ever since gen 6 and im so fucking tired of hearing the IP> The games are utter slop.
>>722543239It looks more focused on battling than Arceus so I'm waiting to see if the game is good. I absolutely hated Arceus because all you did was explore empty lands and throw pokeballs at a bunch of pokemon. I just wonder if the new semi-action battle system is any good.Scarlet and Violet were also really flawed but kinda enjoyable so I'm cautiously optimistic about the future.
>>722574007>babby's first mspaint editHe roasted your tard ass.
>>722543239I'm excited to watch a stream of a leaked copy and laugh at it with everyone else, just like I did for Scarlet and Violet.
The real-time combat looks like shit. There's a reason they've barely touched their original formula.I'd be all for real-time, but not this dodge roll and cooldowns slop.
>>722543239why the fuck would i be? isn't it the same lazy shit every time?
