why do people want Pokemon to fail?
>>
>>723287741
Look at that shit, dude. It already failed. People are just laughing at it
>>
>>723287741
they get all of the benefits of being the biggest ip in the world without having made a good game in 20 years

By this weekend, Canari is gonna be extremely popular, that everyone won't even be talking bad about the game lol
>>
people want gamefreak and by extension nintendo to get punished for constantly churning out this slop. People want gamefreak and by extension nintendo to take a step back and think "wait a minute, this is our multimedia front-running franchise, we should put more than the bare minimum effort into it"
>>
>>723287741
because their pride has made them blind to their incompetency which has held pokemon back from being as good as it deserves to be for over ten years now? maybe its because they actively refuse help when offered by their superiors who can very clearly see the most profitable IP in human history should be selling more than the original gameboy games?
could it be that despite their incompetency they still act entitled to a monopoly over a genre they don't deserve? to the point that they actively attack competitors with bullshit patent suits?

it's a company of old men who refuse to change, it's only natural it fails
>>
>>723287741
I want Pokemon to be better
>>
>>723287741
It's bad because of its success. Failure would make it better, but you retards can't stop buying objectively awful, low-effort products.

/v/ likes going through this humilation ritual every Pokémon release saying it's going to flop, that it lost relevancy or [insert FOTW] is better only for the game sell 20 million copies by the weekend. It's endearing, really.

She'll never be as popular as Iono

No Serena. No buy.

you retarded nigger. people don't want pokemon to fail. they want pokemon to be great. they don't want pokemon to be two bit shovelware garbage propped up the brand name.
please soduku your ancestors for causing your existence.
>>
>>723287741
why do you want pokemon to succeed?
>>
>>723287741
Because its a lazy cash-grab series that does not deserve the sales it gets.
Because it can be literal unplayable garbage that runs at sub 10 fps and people will still buy it because muh Pokemon.
The only good thing about Pokemon these days are some of the Spinoffs and Furry Porn.
>>
>>723287741
I just think it's hilarious that they've started full-copying Palworld while still in court with them.
>>
>>723287741
They have enough money to absolutely wow everyone every time and instead do the opposite and do the bare minimum. Them failing is needed to get better games.
>>
>>723287741
Because failure IT'S THE ONLY WAY for those bastards to stop half assing the games but it will never happen.
>>
>>723287741
people want games like the DS games instead of this absolute dogshit

first game I stopped emulating cause it was so boring/shit combat, on citron/ryujinx. AND IT WAS FREE
>>
>>723288020
far worse than the magnemite girl from violet
>>
>>723289260
So? It doesn't have anything to do with your life. Now get mad.
>>
>>723287741
So that Nintendo has good enough reason to tear the reins away from GameFreak and kick their incompetent asses to the curb.
>>
I don't think anyone wants pokemon to fail, the problem is pokemon has been riding the free money mediocrity train for almost 2 decades.
Look at what palworld did with 1/20th the budget; REALTIME GAMEPLAY
All other jrpgs have turned to realtime gameplay, what the fuck gamefreat?
>>
>>723287741
People want it to be better? how can you defend such a slopfest. They are literally shitting on your face and you are saying thank you
>>
>make dogshit game
>it sells anyway
same reason COD is garbage today.
>>
I thought it looked bad but I think it will grow on me. Just let people enjoy things and stop gatekeeping.

I emulated it. I genuinely think it's the worst pokemon game to date. Violet was ugly but still playable at least.
>>
>>723287741
Those people can't enjoy things, when they see people enjoying Pokémon, it makes them upset
>>
>>723290209
retard, people used to enjoy GOOD games and what we get NOW is absolute slop.

People want pokemon to be good. Pointing out that the new games are awful is somehow a bad thing? The current gamefreak releases run like shit and are somehow also less fun than old spinoff games.
>>
>>723288020
Is this the third influencer type character in the franchise?
Raihan blew, Iono blew, but only got popular because she's a female, this one's going to be the exact same shit with a new coat of paint.

yeah, because they are going to draw her getting groped and raped on her stream. of course everyone will love her then.

Is there any hope though? Realistically? Maybe the old heads of the 3 companies will eventually die and the younger japs there will want to make their mark?

That design is unironically worse than anything to come out of any western AAA game.

Anime was a mistake.

>>723290420
Fucking retarded gooners are ruining everything. Legitimately worse for art than SJWs could ever hope to dream of.
>>
it's honestly sad we'll never get another red/blue or soulsilver again.
>>
why could they not make the balconies a rectangle

it's one fucking polygon.
>>
>>723287741
Because Digimon and Palworld are better monster taming IPs yet they get a fraction of the attention.

Every design since gen 5 has been a fucking abomination, both pokemon and human

B-but my hecking PORN tho!!!!!!

Gooners are objectively worse and more damaging to art than SJWs could ever hope to be. I would rather have trannies in charge of character design than the middle-age pedophiles Japan hires.

The idea of Pokemon having good character and monster designs post-gen 4 has been one of the biggest psyops ever implanted on our youth.

Look at this fucking shit. This doesn't even look like a Pokemon character, but pedophiles don't care.

Bottom left I am fine with, but absolute yuck to everything else.

I don't, I want it to be better instead of failing
But it's just depressing

... you know maybe Collective Shout was onto something and credit card companies were right to ban porn when this is the shit normalfags goon to.

>>723292050
Thank fuck people are starting to get actual taste and rejecting the nu-designs.

BW killed the series and had some of the worst designs I have ever seen.

People want shitty products to fail so making shitty products isn't rewarded and shitty products stop being made so frequently. It's that simple.

>game with the most incompetent developers
>/v/tendies shills it to own the "le invisible snoys"
>normalfags will buy it and give the most lukewarm take on the game meanwhile its 6/10 max

what's the point of critiquing games anymore when there's going to ignorant naysayers
shilling it, it's the same cod fans
>>
>>723287921
It's still gonna sell 30 million units unfortunately.
Nintendo adults simply don't care.

Palworld won.
Digimon won.

>>723287741
Because they realize what it COULD be if a company with talent and care got the rights to it. Hate is not the opposite of Love, it comes out of it. The opposite of Love is Apathy. Once you remove Pokemon from Gamefreak and give it to devs like HAL or Monolith Soft, you'll suddenly see the games explode in technical sense and also in graphical and will make more money then it ever did before. You'll also see many different types of Pokemon games, not just simple RPG or weird side projects like Pokemon Run.
>>
>>723287741
Until it fails they won't have incentive to make it better. It's the front runner's curse.
>>
>>723289875
>wanting realtime slop
Pokemon is one of the few RPGs that haven't fallen to that. They shouldn't throw away the best part of their games, they should embrace it. The Legends side games are garbage.

It was polygonal in the beta. They had to flatten it because they made the entire city one model and the game ran like garbage.
>>
>>723287741
>can't even put a simple stencil shadow beneath the cars
Does anything cast a shadow in that game?
>>
>>723287741
Because it has less effort put into it than a patreon weg game.
It still won't fail because toddlers will buy anything papa puts on their plate.
>>
>>723294486
They took the criticism of SV to heart and made sure this game runs at a silky smooth 30fps. They're still retarded at coding, however, and use a custom made engine, so they can't put much on screen before it drops below that target.
>>
>>723287741
Because gamefreak / pokemon company are the lasiest and most incompetent pieces of shit in this entire industry.
Reminder that Pokemon is the highest grossing franchise on this fucking planet.
Yet their games are so technically and creatively bankcrupt that they are outclasses by basically everyone. Including indie devs 10 years ago.

You literally don't see this stuff on a normal playthrought unless your purpuselly looking up stuff to get mad about
>>
im just not really a fan of the skin of some characters
>>
>>723287741
Isn't that obvious?
The games are not only bad but also super low effort and cheap and have been so for years yet they still inexplicably sell gazillions.
People want game freak to get their just desserts.
