You bought it anyway
Barely 2 millions pretty dogshit for PokemonBut no I did not
>2 millions is actually an average sized profit of an average sized Pokemonthe cope is in
>>723970473>better than PLA>fastest selling game in 2025>i-i-i-it’s pretty dogshit for Pokemon
grim
>>723970367Yes, and? Only ones I regret are Sword and Brilliant Diamond.
But I didn't?No Serena. No buy.
>>723970473Not only is it the fastest selling game of 2025 but it officially outsold the last Legends game which people said it wasn’t going to do because of the Uk sales
>>723970367Sure,I "bought" itCurrently playing in my Steam Deck
>>723970367No but I'll buy Pokopia, that looks comfy
Yeah i "bought it" before rzlease, completed it before release, and am now holding into the NSP waiting for trannies to finish the game so i can replay it later with more QoL and content, why?
>>723970367I didnt
>>723970367It’s the best Pokémon game ever made
>>723970367This happens literally every time.
>>723970367No I didn’t, stop projecting.
>>723970367no, i learned to stop after sun and moon.
>>723973059Kino that you got the game to work on ps2.
>>723973059not sure I see what makes it the best ever from that image
>>723970367I didn't buy it. I'm not the market.
>>723970367I couldn't be assed to play SV for more than a few hours, so I didn't even bother with this one. Honestly I've wasted so much time arguing with genwunners and palshills but I don't even play the games anymore. I keep coming to these threads but I'm not sure why I even bother anymore. I guess I've just grown out of Pokémon finally, or maybe I'm depressed, either way nobody cares I'm just so tired of it all.
>>723970367Gameplay >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GraphicsSomething snoy cucks will never understand.
>>723970367Not even worth pirating, I haven't bought a Pokémon game since SM and haven't played any since SwSh
>>723973514oh really?
>>723970367>You bought it anywayYes, I knew it was shit and I bought it. C'est la vie.Very underwhelming game compared to Legends Arceus, that one was unexpectedly good.
>>723973209Those are ps3 graphics you fucking zoomer
>>723973503>I don't even play the games anymore. I keep coming to these threadsI think you might be retarded
Buying the Switch 2 Pokemon package for Christmas for the family, hope it's decent.
>>723973649Films have literally been lost to time, the fuck is this asshole talking about?
>>723970367I did, it's fun.
>>723970367Last one i bought was Ruby and i dropped that dogshit halfway through.
>>723972810/v/ is retarded, ALL retail games are doing less and less in UK because people keep switching over to digital.
>>723973680Were flowers really that bad looking on ps3?
>>723973649This has already been debunked as a misquote.
>>723972512Hai anche giochi retro?A me Scarlet e PLA sono piaciuti, mi hanno fatto ritornare il gusto e ho recuperato roba vecchia che non avevo. Ora ho una collezione considerevole.
>>723973791Extremely out of context quote to bait retards, he was saying that people quickly stop caring about old games when new ones come out which he considers incredibly sad.
>>723972714Wanna bet they are saving her as bait for the DLC?In ZA they mention what every XY character is doing except Serena and Calem.
>>723973209PS2 gen has the best graphics so that's a compliment.
>>723970367I did, its okay, better than SV at least.
Meanwhile, in digiflop land:
>>723974001Tell that to the Mario 64 speed runners, also aren’t more people playing retro games than ever?
>>723974029shauna and trevor never come up
>>723970367Z-A is probably the first game in ages I've really enjoyed that's has a smear campaign online and it's really funny seeing the youtube dooming thumbnails and people malding on social media while I've just been enjoying it
>>723973514Describe the gameplay loop of ZA to me.
>>723970367I never bought a brand new pokemon game
>>723973989Sono su questo carrozzone fin dall'inizio.
>>723970367Nintendo adults are basically just cattle at this point.
Doomerbros, what’s our response?
>>723973514Kirby Air Riders LITERALLY proves you can have both on a Nintendo console, its just that Gamefreak doesn't want to put in the fucking effort.
>>723970367switch and switch 2 have different retail boxes?
>>723970367I did yeah, one of the most fun games I've played this year, will buy the dlc when it's out.
>>723974479Did you have a blast?
has anyone gotten z-a running properly on emulator? for some reason the first 4 hours were fine for me and then i got a fuckload of texture bugs. then when i changed the settings around to what people recommend to fix it, i got different visual problems.
>>723974217>gameplay loopNon sensical corporate term, you catch Pokemon and fight.
>>723974353Here’s an updoot for you good sir! May your YouTube channel reach 1k subs sometime this decade!
>>723974562I accept your concession, Ranjesh.
>>723974353>heh, not me though, i spend my time wisely>now if you'll excuse me, another poketard said they liked this game... the board needs me
>>723973302The Photo Mode is the best thing they’ve ever created. It lets you take shots like this in 5 seconds.
>>723974659>>723974596I bought digimon story instead.
>>723970367Bought? No. Played for a few minutes before going back to more interesting games? Yes.
>>723974551Did you remember to install the day 1 patch?>>723974217You catch Pokemon to win battles, you win battles to earn money, you earn money to buy clothes.
>>723974453Yes, games with dedicated Switch 2 Editions come with a red card that includes the Switch 2-specific enhancements. For Pokémon this is just higher-res textures but for games like Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Mario Party Jamboree there's extra content only on Switch 2. You can still put these cards in a Switch 1 and they'll run without the enhancements and extras, but they're Switch 2 games.
>>723970367Good God no. I haven't bought a Pokemon game since crystal
>>723974315Non ho mai avuto la prima e la seconda gen, li ho sempre giocati sui gb di qualcun altro, i primi che ho comprato sono stati i remake e la terza. Adesso ho preso in offerta Gold americano e Cristallo.I miei preferiti sono Platino e Soul Silver, giocati qualche anno fa.
>>723973209I’ll drop a a year of Nintendo Switch Online code in this thread for free if anyone can post a PS2 game with graphics that unironically looks better than this
>>723974838Based! Yes, I too did not buy this game. Was I ever interested? Of course not. So why am I in this thread, you ask? Because Nintendo sucks! LOL! Upvotes to the left.
I don't know what the appeal of Pokemon is as an adult. There's no challenge to it.
Why does it look like an emulated psone game?
Ho recuperato anche Smeraldo giappo per Mew shiny.
>>723975026>he doesn’t know
>>723975020people should know better than to post here, lest they face your reddit wrath. teach em a lesson, sis!
>>723974152Shiggy was talking about the normalfag majority of gamers, not the autistic enthusiasts.
>>723970367I did not. Pokemon is for fags and those who refuse to move on from their childhoods.
>>723974828if you can just use the switch 2 on the 1 why even buy the switch 1 card?
>>723974209This is basically every big-budget game I've bought in the last couple years. RDR2, Dragon's Dogma 2, Baldur's Gate 3, Pokemon LZA. It's honestly more of a red flag to me now if people on /v/ say a game is good at this point.
>>723970367>japanwow I can't believe bugmen bough-no wait, I can
>>723973209Pure soul, yes
>>723975026This new one is pretty challenging
>>723970367I didn't but subhuman no soul nip bugmen for sure bought it and loved their yearly dose of a turd.
>>723974969Valkirye Profile 2. Pay up.
>>723973680>Those are ps3 graphics you fucking zoomerlmao you have never played on ps2 you little bitch
>>723974940Guarda, nonostante sia un fan della prima ora non ho mai avuto opinioni particolarmente forti sulla serie. Mi divertono e li gioco sempre con piacere, ma non partecipo alle crociate online tra fan di questo o quel gioco, in generale non sono mai stati tra i miei jrpg preferiti in assoluto per i quali mi metterei a discutere animatamente. Secondo me hanno tutti punti di forza e debolezze a seconda che ti piacciano una regione, il design dei Pokémon, i personaggi ecc. ma di base offrono tutti un'esperienza quantomeno adeguata. Devo dire che Spada fu una delusione perché troppo basilare come salto su console HD e Diamante Lucente perché non ci hanno messo il minimo impegno (e già non mi fecero impazzire Diamante e Perla originali) mentre Arceus mi ha colpito in positivo per tutte le modifiche apportate al gameplay e alla struttura del gioco e lo stesso vale per Z-A. Vedere tutta la negatività online come se i giochi fossero mai stati chissà che capolavori assoluti e adesso facessero pena in toto è un po' stancante, ma a stare su questa board di merda fai il callo e impari ad ignorare le opinioni più estreme.
>>723975192Meant for >>723974315
>>723976001Anon..
>>723974969
>>723975192E' dedizione, spero si trovassero a poco. Non posso parlare visto che ai tempi andavo fino a Mirabilandia per le distribuzioni del Pokémon Day.
>>723976080This looks worse than Z-A you stupid bitch
>>723970367Haven't bought a pkmn game since Emerald
>>723976212kek this looks awful
>>723976282buy new eyes
>>723973209Late PS2 graphics, like in God of War 2 or MGS3 are peak and we shouldn't have gone past that.
>>723970367Damn straight and I've had fun too.
The final boss was weird but the post-game volo-esque fight was good.
I know it's a little dated, but I think this new pokemon game looks pretty good.
>>723974029Not gonna happen, at best you'll get a line of reference like BW1 protags going off looking for N in BW2 but thats it
>>723976394You first dumbfuck
>>723970367but I emulated it. the game is shit, probably the worst title yet
>>723976661crazy people always forget what 3D pokemon games used to look like. Dark times we were stuck in.
>>723975921the only hard fight is Zygarde
>>723970367The game will rake in billions and I will sleep soundly knowing that I wasn't part of it
>>723977047>It's shit but I still played through the entire game and consumed the slop
>>723976084Per me ci sono dei giochi che nettamente migliori di altri.ZA non mi piace perche manca completamente l'elemento dell'avventura, non sembra neanche un gioco di pokemon, è un passo indietro rispetto a PLA, che comunque aveva i suoi difetti ma almeno era interessante per certi versi.La quinta generazione, ambientata negli stati uniti, è orribile se paragonata alla quarta che è venuta immediatamente prima, i design sono senza immaginazione e non sembrano neanche pokemon a parte alcuni come Cofagrigus, i color palette sono anche terribili, basta guardare pokemon come Scrafty, molti sono variazioni di marrone. Con la quinta è iniziato inoltre il trend di spostare il focus dal contesto selvaggio al contesto urbano, cosa che va contro la natura stessa del concetto di pokemon. ZA è il culmine di questo.Della sesta e settima neanche parlo perche non valgono il tempo speso.Invece a mio parere l'odio per Scarlet e Violet non è meritato. Ho amato sopratutto il dlc di Kitakami, sembrava di giocare ad un vecchio gioco delle prime generazioni.
>>723970367I assure you I haven't bought shit
>>723970367I didn't
Post yfw you didn't buy Legends Z-A
>>723977272I've played every pokemon game. its like chasing the dragon, trying to feel anything similar i felt during playing gen 4-5 for the first time. also its better time spent than being on /v/
>>723977694>It's shit but I still played through the entire game and consumed the slop
>>723977047>so shit you beat it and took pictures
>>723970367It will triple that at Christmas.Normies still love pokemon even with the shitty graphics.
>>723977848>>723977891so you agree with gaming journalists that you dont have to fully play through a game to rate it?
yes, i'll always support anti-white woke propagandatotal white cvck death
pokemon is a tranny and woman franchise and both are the goodest goyim
>>723970367The hate campaign for this game is entirely forced and the people with vague criticism like >muh windows >it’s too easy are only making fools of themselves
>>723974969Pay up lil nigga
>>723970367Let me know when it play and looks like that art piece.
>>723977367Comprensibile, preferisci l'aspetto dell'avventura in ambientazioni naturali e questo influenza la tua opinione di determinati giochi, e lo stesso fa il design dei Pokémon, ma come dico è questione di gusti e di cosa uno cerchi nella serie piuttosto che una qualità intrinseca dei giochi. Se i leak della decima generazione sono veri allora dovrebbe piacerti perché molto incentrata sull'esplorazione di foeste e mari.
>>723977694You only have a finite time on this Earth. If a vidya is shit, why would you waste time on it
>>723970367Nah I didn't.
>>723978075Oh my god do you guys ever shut the fuck up? Why do you post these screenshots like I'm supposed to care about your tranny obsession?
>>723970367>Game selling well is back ACK-shually because... because I don't like it!I bought it BECAUSE Legends Arceus was great and I have faith in the Legends team. Z-A is great too, though I'd prefer if the next game was a cross between Arceus and Z-A with open fields and cities.
>>723973938But Chris Dring said digital wouldn't make a difference despite him not having any data.
>>723977629My coworkers love so I'll get it eventually.(Haven't beat Scarlet yet)
>>723970367>You bought it anywayyes, I did after trying it on pcI still hate the idea of being restricted to one city but the game is still pokemon, it's still fun
>>723976269Dipende consa intendi per poco. Diamante e Smeraldo giappo presi a 80 credo, Heart Gold americano a 110.Sto recuperando un sacco di vecchie console e giochi ultimamente, tanto una casa non posso permettermela anche risparmiando... maledetti boomer.
>>723977629
It's the best gamefreak pokemon game of all time after you get through the tutorial.
>>723976130Yes?
>>723977367Uno cazzo fanculo dio cane madonna
>>723970367I haven't bought a pokemon game since buying Moon aside from the pmd remake. At this point I only look at the franchise for new mon designs to draw porn of and play games where you turn into a pokemon
>>723977629>tfw convinced my brother to not buy the Switch 2 until there's an OLED version>my other brother bought It anyway but It's now collecting dust in the closet
>>723976212>"The game is so shit that I trained Pokemon to level 70 and grinded out some shiny Pokemon in 1 week since launch"
>>723978514>this changes everything!
I bought it anyway, because Pokemon Legends is the best thing to happen to this IP. People wanted this type of gameplay from Pokemon ages ago, so of course the sales are solid.
>>723978203stop crying, timmyit's ok to get replaced by based blacks, mexicans and indians
>>723972512that's a huge pile of shit you've got there
>>723972512>>723974315El ragazzo della soia...
>>723978329Once you're free absolutely, even the online is fun, I dread having to go back to turn based instanced battles after stubbing my toe on a Pokemon and autistic setup opponents in gen10 multiplayer, I just feel so over the old formula at this point
>>723975921Use the roll.
Every single year you faggots cry about Pokemon looking like shit and next year we'll have the exact same threads about whatever random shitty bugs show up and the lack of effort from GF and nothing will ever changeActually, writing that I guess the one thing that did change is now we have youtube grifters crying about it looking like shit so now we get those faggots reposted here too
>>723970367>uh hey guys nintendo is evil and and this new pokemon game is shit because a texture in another district didn't load with a millisecond also dlc is bad and slop>sells millions I often wonder why people listen to nintendo haters? it literally like listening to a kid who constantly gets his ass kicked by the same guy despite always starting the fight himself
>>723970367Nope I bought Palworld instead it's a much better game
>>723978163Il problema è che pokemon è intrinsecamente giapponese. La cura con cui hanno progettato un gioco come Heart Gold/Souls Silver o Diamante/Perla per rispecchiare rispettivamente la regione di Kyoto-Osaka-Nara e Hokkaido non è paragonabile ai lavori generici che hanno fatto per regioni come Kalos, Paldea o l'altra inglese che neanche mi viene in mente ora. Praticamente è come chiedere a un chirurgo di farti un tavolo, non è capace e il risultato finale fa cagare rispetto a un'operazione chirurgica.Non so quanto tu conosca giochi come Heart Gold/Soul Silver e Platino, i dettagli che hanno quei giochi non sono riconosciuti da persone che non hanno familiarità con la materia trattata, e quindi forse il mio discorso ti puo sembrare esagerato. Sono giochi fatti con molto amore, ricerca e rispetto.
>>723978493Powerful.
>>723978986Who are you actually blaming here, the people pointing out a spade being a spade, or the spade peddlers?
>>723978739>People wanted this type of gameplay from Pokemon ages agoThis. I begged ganefreak to remove wall climbing, the ability to fly/glide and to remove various other gameplay mechanics because I genuinely unironically love hopping from roof to roof in the same single city. I also don't like being able to go inside buildings, and boy did game freak deliver.
>>723979291keknice gif
>>723979329probably the kid who constantly gets his teeth knocked out by his bully nintendo while screaming and crying at everyone because they didn't do their part to "destroy nintendo" lmao
>>723974365Holy fucking slop, this is what snoytrannies watch daily.
>>723970367Why are japs still eating up this ps2 looking woke garbage? Don't they have any pride?
>>723979673france is an african shithole tho lmao. if anything theyre making it look better
Beat the game last night. Game was fun, very easy but the sequence after the final rival battle and the final boss had me play a lot more safely. Wish there was another Lysandre battle but that’s probably post game.
>>723970367Nobody had to obey your lunatic tribe war call to arms faggot
Ranked online is the most fun I've ever had playing pokemon, and I've been playing competitive pokemon since gen 4. I was actually really dissapointed when I hit rank A.
>>723979763Shit, you're right.
>>723979673Japanese are docile bottomsYou never hear them push back like the Chinese or Koreans
>>723970367it takes time for long standing ips to die

>>723979052Based
>>723970367I haven't bought a Pokemon game since Red and Blue back on the Gameboy.
>>723974209To hear /v/ tell it, every single game that is not coomercore is not selling and are also bad.
>>723980338oh yeah? I haven't bought a pokemon game since before red and blue
>>723974365HOLY SHIT!>Members firstWho is paying this guy? WHO IS WATCHING ALL THIS SHIT?
>>723974365>you worship slop unlike me the free thinker
>>723979052>instead of this low effort slop for kids I bought this low effort slop for kids.You know, its low effort, low budget crap like Pokemon, Palworld or indie games in general that make me appreciate Triple As like RDR2, GTA V or Elden Ring.
>>723975431Better boxart, costs slightly less
>>723981037>appreciate Triple As like RDR2, GTA V or Elden RingBait
>>723981664Yeah, even those are more fun than that crap.Plus, there's more effort put into a single mission of RDR2 or GTA V than there is in the entirety of Palworld and Pokemon put together
>>723982814Fuck off retard
>>723970367you bet I did
>>723983218Still can't believe this is Pikachu's mega evolution.
>>723975992>set game in africa>cry DEI when it has africans in itWhat did xe/xim mean by this?
Yes, I bought it, completed it, and liked it
>>723984208France is an African country?
>>723970367havent touched pokemon since sun and moon. still wont even later.heres your (you)
>>723970367Does it counts if I bought it for my cousin because he doesn't have credit card and he will paid me the full thing this weekend?
>>723979890It’s so much fun
>>723974209>first game I guess that not really a good comparison if you find games like this "fun" maybe try to branch off to other games that isn't just pokemon also it still has its criticism it can be "fun" but in the end it gets boring after a few hours or so, so im not really getting these "It's fun" people because other than that they barely post actually gameplay or they constantly talk about the multiplayer or using the photomode
>>723979890so only the story mode is mediocre is what im getting from this and the actual liked thing about it is the multiplayer
>>723985491I get you're one of those sadsacks looking for any reason to rag on the game but IMO this has some of the most fun characters ever put in a pokemon gameThat ending sequence was fun as hell too, genuinely didn't think Game Freak had it in them
So they fixed battle animations, right?
>>723985803those are actual criticism the ending was just a generic mecha fight like all other ending where you fight in giant mech its unmemorable and the fact that it was super quick
>>723973059WHY DID DAINCIE CRAP ALL OVER THE CITY DAMMIT!
>>723985027>It's soo much fun pleeeease by the game!
>>723970367Is this game good if you liked Legends Arceus?
>shitjeet spamming the same 2 webms can’t even spell correctly
>>723986426Can you workshop this post to sound less like a cuck
I pirated it, it seems pretty good compared to PLA or S/V, sans graphical fidelity. Which is an extremely low bar but when you're working with literal trash, anything is better.
>>723970367I didn'tCan't help the lobotomized sadly
>>723986962PLA lets me go around lands and catch pokemon in locations I could buy them hanging out in. Wild Zones feel like the commie-block version of this.
>>723987279PLA also expects you to fill out a checklist that doesn't align with playing the game naturally. Why the fuck would anyone want to capture or battle Paras 15 times to fill its dex entries? Z-A at least had the good sense to tone that shit down. If they swapped that and the gameplay improvements of Z-A, then yeah, PLA would win.
>>723970367I did, it's pretty fun. Just stumbled on a shiny Sableye last night.
Will gamefreak ever release a game that surpasses p5r?
>>723987438I won't deny that the checklists are tedious, but don't act like catching pokemon is a far removed task. The world of PLA is more interesting was my initial point. Catching pokemon on rooftops and alleyways seems like it would lose its inherit mystique that made wild encounters at set locations, novel to begin with.
>>723987698will anyone?
I'm taking it back to Gamestop. I can't play this shit anymore dude. Scarlet and Violet isn't much better but christ almighty what a stinker.
>>723987934So Sega won huh ..
>>723987862I'm not disagreeing with you there.
>>723971895that isn't true tho, Silksong sold so well it was crashing digital storefronts everywhere, the minute it released.
>>723986667im saying the ending was anti climatic even when you're fighting the first stage of the Floette boss it felt extremely boring because it makes you follow a simple pattern which can easily be walk around, then when you beat that stage you get to zygarde whatever form and you easily just insta kill it with its final attack making it very anticlimactic i would've like if it let you fight with mega zygarda in the end instead of just instantly annihilating it then cutting to cutscene it just seems super generic and not in a actually good generic way but in a really stagnant generic type of way and i get that you like those characters because they're hot but they're really not that memorable besides just for porn for Jacinthe and speaking of Jacinthe she was very forgettable and the only thing she was memorable for was her assistant and had actually had a unique personality sorry if forgot her name though, but she was more memorable and more expressive
>>723988892>her assist andi messed up here i meant to say "that" sorry for the mistake i use a slim keyboard
>>723988892I said less like a cuck jesus man
>>723988892Final boss was the only one of these actiony fights where your pokemon would actually take damage but they put a wall you can use to protect yourself and it was just a pretty long fight because of that since phase 2 and 3 attack a lot.
>>723986537That’s what you get for playing the beta test version like a retard
Mind you, these sales are for Japan and retail only(digital not included). Imagine how it's doing internationally, both digital and retail sales combined.
>>723992472>tendies thrilled that their low effort garbage game is making their friends so much moneylol

>>723971895>better than PLAFunny joke
>>723993454It sure fucking is normie subhuman.
>>723992908Only shills care about how many pokecattle continue to consume the latest slop game
>>723993827This thread is literally about the sales, dumbass.
>>723970367nah, i haven't bought a pokemon game in 20 years, I'm not a child and they are babbys first rpg, much more gratifying to play something with a good story, more customization in terms of skills, deeper leveling systems, story and characters written for adults, Pokémon gives me none of that
>>723993725>normie>normalfag calling anyone else "normie" while shoveling new pokeslop down their throatLMAO
>>723993996Cope pokedrone
>>723970367i haven't bought any pokemon games after being thoroughly let down by sword/shield. if they refuse to make fun games i refuse to buy/play them
>>723970367I pirated it, I finished it, it was 7/10, and I'm being extremely generous.
Yeah it's fun I love pokemon and I love the new combat system
>>723979192Però Unima ci stava pur non essendo Giapponese, perché non voleva essere 1:1Anyway /v/ sgocciola
>>723970367I emulated it and thought it was pretty fun. I look forward to whatever the next game is.
bought digimon insteadwhat am i in for?

>>723996462>season pass and DLC>finished product
People can go on all day about their "high standards" but never will tell you about a game that meets all their standards
>>723987698Soul Silver has been out 15 years now.
>>723997114HGSS and BW2 are peak pokemon
>>723992946This is like humans finding ruins from an alien civilization and deciding to live among them.
>>723997114like this anon said >>723997248 , HGSS meets all my standards
>>723970367Nope, decided against it. I haven't purchased much from Nintendo in the last few years, especially Pokemon.
>>723997114Mawile is so fun in ZA, she ended up being my highest leveled mon when I beat the game. She’s surprisingly tanky in base form even with sub-400 BST but the type combo is fantastic and then you mega evolve and she’s so strong. She’s cute and cool at the same time. I’m a Mawile fan because of this game.
>>723986605It depends on what you liked about Arceus. ZA keeps the same fast-paced gameplay and in fact makes it even more fast-paced with the action combat system, but aside from that it's opposite in many ways. It's all set in a modern city rather than a bunch of natural environments, it's smaller with the exploration being much more vertically-oriented through scaffolding and rooftops. Pokémon catching and Pokedex research are heavily de-emphasized as wild Pokémon are mainly relegated to small districts turned into Wild Zones, back alleys and rooftops and research tasks aren't per Pokémon anymore but way more generalized and are entirely optional. On the other hand, battling is much, much more important, you go up a ladder by battling regular trainers in dedicated Battle Zones at night until you get a ticket to fight the equivalent of a gym leader and there's about a dozen of them plus almost twenty rogue mega evolved Pokémon which work like the noble Pokémon boss fights in Arceus. There's also a free-for-all four player online multiplayer mode with its own ladder and seasons while Arceus had fuck-all for multiplayer.
>>723972714Dead meme whose popularity is fake as proven by being non canon, lmao
>>723995508A me fa cagare, rispettosamente parlando. Per me l'inizio della fine.Mi piacciono le animazioni e basta. Il focus sulle città non mi piace per nulla e gli Stati Uniti non hanno folklore interessante, non hanno un'attrattiva esotica, sono l'emblema della fogna moderna.E io non ho neanche giocato sti giochi da giovane, ho giocato gen 4 e 5 solo negli ultimi anni quindi non ho bias nostalgico nei confronti della gen 4, anzi all'epoca mi faceva cagare, avevo smesso di comprare nintendo con il DS proprio perche ero deluso.
>>723995508Poi siamo chiari, gen 5 sicuramente meglio di gen 6 , 7 e 8. Per me gen 9 è superiore a gen 5.
>>723997114After falling out with Pokemon after HG/SS, Palworld got me to enjoy monster collecting games again.

>>723992946The songs niggas in paris was a warning.
>>723992946
>>723997585In the same boat as you. Ended up outleveling my starter with how much I used her
>>723998024>>723998162Ci sta, a me personalmente Unima piace proprio per quello stile "moderno" e più urbano, anche se riconosco che stona rispetto all'idea classica di pokemon
>>723997371>>723998674>>723998815This isn't very Liberté, égalité, fraternité of you, comrades
>>723997585For me, it was Barbaracle, you mega evolve that motherfucker and let it rip, stone edge and close combat will blast everyone to hell in a single hit, he quickly became my go to problem solver.
>>723986537>THERE IT IS!
