New pokemon killer is coming
It may seem cheap and boring to us Boomers but my children love these pokemon ripoffs
>>724317742gacha?
>>724317931You are not a boomer.
another game that is going to spread itself thin by emulating multiple different properties. YAWN
>>724317931unc thinks he's a boomer
>>724317931and then they clapped
flipendo?
>>724317742that roar stance at the end reminded me of kinect.Also, wtf am I watching?
>>724317996no only microtransaction is clothing to match your monster
>>724317742uh oh nintendo is gonna sue
>>724317742OI...
>>724318265monster collector game from tecent
>>724318361STOP STOP NO MORE CHINESE GAMES!!! PLEASE!!!
>>724318278Cuck
>>724318890Pokemons fans should feel themselves at home
>>724317742>playing as literal toddlersno thank you
>>724317742This one looks like it was made for babies even more than pokemon. And the creature designs sucks balls.
>>724317742>Handholding
>>724317742Waaait a minute... Did she just... did she just throw an item at a creature to catch it..?NINTENDOOOOOOOOO#FBI #CIA #NBA #KGB #C3PO
>>724317742nice. i'll just stick with palworld tho
>>724318361>Glider monsterNintendo will sue Tencent?
Can you capture your imouto
>>724317742>>724318361People complain a lot about pokemon designs not being universally appealing anymore, but when every design is trying to be a cool as possible you get shit like this. I can see any of this monster being tems or pals or whatever they are called in the new mihoyo game. Digimon and SMT understood this too, you see a monster from one of those games and you immediately know where they are from, specially if it's one of the ugly fuckers.
>Roco Kingdom is a safe and healthy magic world designed by Tencent for children aged 7-14 in China.
>>724318350it's ok, china #1
>>724318347Against Tencent?Good luck
>>724319737>no disgusting gweilo or nippon scum will be permitted to enjoy this wonderful education opportunity for glorious Han youth
>>724318361those designs lack any uniformity or style, it's literally just random shit out of a hat>china>tencentoh okay. goodbye
>>724317742>Harry Potter x Pokemon x Ark SurvivalWhy are indie devs so uninspired?
so are we pretending pkm designs are peak, especially after the release of ZA?
IS-IS THAT A BALL THROWING MONSTER CAPTURING DEVICE?DING DONG SUE YOU
>>724320025I think they were inspired by the three things you listed.Do you mean "why are they so unoriginal"?
>>724319917>those designs lack any uniformity or style, it's literally just random shit out of a hat
>>724320049because nu-pokemon is shit and gen 1-4 is generally what people refer to when they speak of the pokemon franchise>erm you have to like ALL pokemonno i do not. gen 5 is the cut-off line where the franchise purely became endless tendieslop after they axed all the old writers and designers in the transition to 3d visuals
>>724320176They had been using 3D visuals since gen 4.The game's engine is literally 3d.
>>724320176You guys love to use the world slop, but apparently slop doesn't mean generic ass conveyor belt designs made to be as cool as possible. Slop is when I don't like thing.
>>724317742>pokemon killerOnly the cultist use that word for other monster capture games.
>>724320260i'm left with little option but to call you a retard for this lie of yours, anon
>>724317742Release date? 1 I will play it day 1, I finna catch 'em all.
>>724317742Kodomo doushi...
>>724320319>Slop is when I don't like thing.noslop is when a franchise has demonstrably shifted toward a model of turning itself into a sales vehicle for tertiary merchandise with no focus given to its own body
>>724318361Nintendo won't do shit because this isn't a Japanese company shitting all over their patents.
>>724317742>tossing a spherical object to capturenew lawsuit incoming
>>724320425they trademark for eng but right now you need a qq to participate
>>724320370That's 3D. It's using sprites, but it's a 3D level.Why do you think it's not?
>>724317742>HandholdingAnd just like that, this game's done far more than Pokemon's ever done.
>>724320446Your image proves my point lol. The only reason why you don't like those designs is because they are not attractive to you, because they are ugly, and the post acknowledges it. But if these designs are ugly and nobody likes them, how can they be use for merchandise? You say that nobody likes them but that they also sell so much merchandise the games don't need to be good anymore. Which one is it?
>>724320479Its China, they cant do shit. Just look at all the mobile games that directly use Pokemon art that come from China.
>>724320567But what if it was 2.5D?
>>724320668It's not tho.It's a 3D engine.
>>724320643let's also not pretend gen 1 didn't have generic or awful designs
>>724320501That fucking duck lmao.But seriously, how can the Chinese copy things so thoroughly without shame? Is it seen as a good thing in their culture?>inb4 soulless bugsNo, but really, is there a reason for it?
>handholding co-op>but tencent mobile gamei'm so conflicted
>>724320832what's wrong with the duck?
>>724317742This will sell moderately well. The result will be: Gamefreak still doesn’t improve. Pokemon games still outsell it 10:1. Cope
>>724320791So what? Nobody talks about those designs, yeah, there are people who like Dodrio and Fearow, for sure, but they are never in the conversation because most people don't give a shit about them, same with all those cherrypicked pokemon in the image. Honestly that image feels like it was made by a disillusioned fanboy that doesn't like the fact that he doesn't feel the compulsive need to buy every single piece of pokemon merchandise because "some of them are ugly :("
>>724320832their culture never developed any feature of 'honor' or 'chivalry' as the western world understands what is considered 'human decency'life has no value to them, neither does life's work. in china, you are risking financial ruin by helping someone who has fallen (ruled that noone would possibly help another person unless they felt guilt for being the one who caused their problem(yes this is an actual thing))china and its people are a hell in and of itself
cute
>>724320904Looks silly compared to the other designs, like a low poly indie asset store model surrounded by overdesigned mihoyo nonsense.
>>724320668Pokemon black and white are 2.5d games, 2d plain with 3d environments, people just don't like the term 2.5d
>>724321467It's literally a 3D game. Why do you think otherwise?
>>724321241wait... that character
>>724320663Anon, if they get well and truely pissed off they can and will go for China, it just depends on how far they push it.
>>724320904He is the designated shitpost mon, pretty sure everyone will run it because it is funny.
>>724320643You are implying that poketards have tastes. They just consoom whatever GF and TPC shit out. It doesn't matter if a design is good or dogshit like most of recent ones
>>724321997something interesting is that it comes in different sizes there's a fat one but maybe it's just the evo
>>724319826Well, Sony seems to be winning their case right now, so maybe.
>>724320832Honestly if they changed the sphere into an egg it could probably work better without the potential of randomly getting swatted.
>>724320098The combat is a literal 1:1 clone of Pokemon, down to the exact details
steam release when?
>>724322546
>>724322434The fat one is the evo I think, it becomes a fat shitposter bird.
>>724317742>handholding
>>724322546>people will always complain about how GF makes a pokemon that looks just like an animal with no changes>but not a single person here has complained about one of the monsters being a literal cartoon duck.Weird
>>724322546Hey I recognize that asset store boat
I will hand hold you against your will when the game releases.
>>724322714The duck is kino.
>>724320049mega froslass is pretty
>>724317742should I play sword or scarlet first? I have roms of each. I haven't played one in like 15 years
>>724322771would be funny once the game releases and its another popular flavor of the month with /v/ praising it
>wand-swinging magic crapAbsolutely fruity. Trash
>>724317742this looks so gay. palworld was probably ultimate ly a good thing, but palworld fucking likes are a mistake.
>>724320832I think it's actually a flaw of the west instead. We've been fucked with by IP and copyright for so long that the idea of inspiration, blatant or not, has become taboo.
>>724322941I'm led to believe scarlet is better of the gens
>>724322941Neither, they suck ass, play a hack like clover instead.
>>724323031Copyright really is evil and stupid. Worst of all, it's a huge waste of time and effort to uphold and worry about. Wish there was any way to get rid of it.
>>724320832China doesn't give a shit about copyright. That's about it.What are other countries gonna do? Abuse Chinese works? What fucking works?
>>724317742oh i get itit's because Nintendo only copyrighted ONE PERSON throwing a ball onto a monsterthis is two people thowing a ball onto a monster
>>724322941Sword is a very linear experience, if you think the characters look interesting enough go for that, but there's not a lot to do imo. Scarlet is open world and you can just do whatever you want, so is very easy to overlevel and the game can feel like easier than normal, even for pokemon standards. Honestly neither of them have a lot going on outside of online/competitive stuff, if you want a good single player experience play ZA instead. If you only want to catch pokemon and don't care about anything else then go for scarlet + the dlc.
>>724317742Lawsuits incoming.
Wh-why are they holding hands?
>>724317742The characters being just lalafells down to the way they emote is way funnier than the pokemon stuff.
>>724320832jewish values transferred under mao, the "if we steal from you and you don't stop us then we are innocent" scheme
>>724322941Yarimon has been the best pokemon game I've ever played.
>>724317742It's a blue board you sick fuck
>>724323878is the pokemon aspect of this game even good?
>>724323998Does it matter?When was the last time you played a hand holding game ?
>>724323998Better than you'd expect.
>>724317742>You can play as a loli in a short skirtI wonder if you'll be able to see her underwear
>>724318361I can't help but immediately notice that in this footage this game is violating the nintendo patent. Part of me wants to nintendo to attempt to litigate this because tencent can absolutely afford to fight a lawsuit against nintendo. I hope that lawsuit gets their ridiculous patent slapped down and revoked.
>>724323676>Against Tencentlol, lmao, nintendo doesn't even have the balls to sue Bandai over Digimon because Bandai is much bigger and more powerful than them, Tencent is on a completely different power scale and way larger than both Nintendo and Bandai, to sue them would be a suicide.
>>724318361Is there some chinesium asset pack that every single game developer from there is legally required to use, or why does everything they put out look like Genshin?
>>724322941My inner troll instinct wants to bait you into picking sword first. Because it is legitimately so bad you won't want to play scarlet afterwards. I would honestly skip sword entirely and play scarlet instead.
>>724319917>those designs lack any uniformity or style, it's literally just random shit out of a hatSo modern Pokemon
>>724324552there's nothing https://youtu.be/ZKdlrzVO1H8?si=fgsYLXPg8USOIxvm
>>724324661maybe its the same devs? ever thought of that
>>724324661genshin has a clean and colorful style, no reasons no to use it, specially if some of its popularity can rub on your game simply for having a similar style.
>>724325164>video starts>character running while hand holding a little monster girl who can barely keep upkino
>>724325164mods will fix it
>>724325164I love that stupid duck
>>724325164>mobileevery fucking time
>>724319731Artists like Kazuma Kaneko and Kenji Watanabe don't exactly grow on trees, you know. Both Megaten and Digimon were blessed with one-of-a-kind artists with their own distinct, instantly recognizable style that they could then teach to others in-house. A shitty Chinese gacha studio is not attracting or retaining that level of talent.
>>724323178That's antisemitic, you /pol/chud.
>capture monsters in a ballnintendo layers, awaken
>handholdingCute, more games need hand holding
>>724319636Nintendo can't litigate in fucking China, they don't respect IP laws over there (and it's starting to seem like the right play).
>>724317742Zamn! I love handholding little girls! SOLD!
>>724322941Pokemon is shit play better games
>>724317742>handholding with protection Thank goodness!
>>724326183At this point, I would look for a good enough furry artist and have them as design leads, at least you would have coherent designs and style across the board.
how fast till the lawsuit happens on this one?
>all these seething replies from tendies and paid jeetsHoly fuck /v/ is so pathetic. Fuck back off to /vp/ at least this shit looks better than Palworld and it's millions of light years ahead of any Pokemon game kiketendo is going to produce.
>>724317742Is that handolding with your rival? I'd literally buy a pokemon game if it had that.
>>72431910314 year old btw
>>724322546That's a good thing. The pokemon combat is it's only redeeming feature and the only reason to even play the games. Does it have held items and set mode and abilities and weather and fun synergies?
>>724322941Play a romhack that includes new pokemon. Like Unbound or Radical Red. Or play a fakemon hack. Don't play GF slopshit.
>>724325164Wait is this really mobile only? Well my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
>>724317742they need to start marketing this to the west nowit genuinely looks good, monster designs are mostly good, no gacha or p2w crap, plus it's gonna be on pc>>724317996all monsters can be caught in the wild like the newer pokemon games (pla, sv, plza)they even have mechanics from pla and plza like boss mons
>no gacha>will be on pcso what excuse do /v/intenjeets have this time?>SAAR THIS DESIGNS LOOKS VERY BAD BAD SAAR!oh, guess some "people" are never satisfied and would rather eat overpriced slop like the raped kikeslaves they are
>>724317742Monster design looks better than palworld and digimon.
>>724328707All 4 gen5 protags are 16 and 16 is legal in more countries and states than 18 is.
>>724324552you can remove the clothes and have the characters roam in their "underwear"someone posted it on bilibili, probably deleted by now
>>724322714Shills made this thread btw
>>724326029>>724329012it's on pcthey even have specs posted for pc
>>724322941Scarlet is the better game, but use mods to get better graphics and pokemon on the screen.
>>724317742h-handholding?
>>724329012I think it is also for PC.
>>724317742>by Tencent for children aged 7-14 in China>Android/IOSThere better fucking be loli panties and upskirts or I'm not giving the people's republic another chance.
>>724326505lollmao(nintendo won btw)
>>724325252Mario Odyssey and Donkey Kong Bananza are also made by the same devs
>>724329732found this old one for the male protag
>bloomersUOH
>>724317742Why do all of these games have such a distinct “totally not Pokémon” monster designs. They always suck ass, I don’t get it.
>>724321241If she isn't wearing a g string I'm not buying
>>724330680
>>724321549>no intereaction with the 3rd dimensionso who gives a fuck? that's just 2d with grafix
>>724330970
>>724318361>>724317742designs look better than the palworld assetflip at least
>>724330680so what cheap asset are people talking about here? or should we go back to ZA levels of graphics
>>724319731The reason those designs look more memorable to you is you know those games and they've been around for a while. Most people who have touched both games can tell and Pokemon from a Pal, and the ignorant are going to mix up a Digimon from a Pokemon (there are a lot of videos on Youtube of people trying to guess who is who). All the games have a distinct artsyle. It's just you're more familiar with those games. That said, the reason Pokemon competitors are taking off (beyond just the low quality of the games) is the designs of the Pokemon have gone to shit. Look at any of the Pokemon in the most recent gens and they'd be right at home in the Tencent knock off game.
I kinda hate these lalafell-ass trainers. It's like they intentionally aimed past my personal cuteness aggression threshold.
...
>chinese
>>724317742Hows their legal team composed?
>>724317742>throwing something to capture an animalnintendo lawsuit incoming KEK
>>724331830good marnings saar
>>724319636>Nintendo will sue Tencent?lol no. Nintendo always punches down, but Tencent is at least 10 times bigger than Nintendo. The strategy of trying to bleed a little guy doesn't work when your the little guy. Nintendo is already struggling in the Palworld lawsuit. They'd get their asses kicked here. They're just going to have to bend over and take it on this one.
Why does every chinese game have to have a service model?
>>724331924fascinating implications here about your worldview
>>724331775I really want to try the beta is there no way unless you have a chinese number?
chinese and korean don't give a shit about some petty lawsuit from a dying country full of childless mantoddlersthis and dokev are safepocketpair simply made a mistake setting up their base in that cucked shitholeeven then, i think palworld has managed to gather good will from the actual gaming community while tendie tranny childless freaks seethe and deepthroat tiny japanese cock 24/7
>>724330970>lalafell if cuteI will buy her game
>>724317742Why the elf ears?
>>724319737>government bans you if you're over 14holy basedtotal groomer death
>>724317742>>724318361Looks interest->chinesenevermind
>>724332494why are you racist?
>>724318361>tencentI'm never letting anyone near my kernels.
>>724317742Name of game? Pantsu status?
>>724332381Why not?
>>724317931It's because the formula is great but Nintendo has been squatting on it like scrooge McDuck for decades now and only letting their small indie studio Gamefreak make the pokemon games which are getting worse with every iteration.
here come the tendiejeets whining about their greatest enemy china
>>724332589because mainland chinese have never made a good game, movie, or book in their country's history. their soil is poison
>>724318361Unreal Engine 4? Did China betrayed Timmy?
>>724332589because the only thing chinese people know how to make are shitty F2P gacha, only very rarely they'll release an actual game like Black Myth Wukong, but that's clearly not the case here
>>724317742Does it have plans to partner with sony? if no its save from Nintendo.
>>724317742It's not even funny how thermonuclearly obliterated Gamefreak would be if the chinks got their hands on pokemon
its funny people are seething cus chinese yet japan is looking forward to more monster collectors
>>724320501Based. Fuck tendies and fuck the n company.
>>724332638roco kingdom worldalthough it might get a name change for global because the subsidiary studio posted thishttps://x.com/MoreFunStudios/status/1978068275348099245/photo/1
>>724332795look up pokemon unite
>>724330334Nintendo is a grain of sand in a desert compared to Tencent
>>724331775Ummm they're sitting their asses on cactus spines... Are they enjoying it???
>>724332818because the people who bring up "china" and "tencent" boogeyman are all pajeets
>>724322546good, fuck nintendo
>>724323998Better than the classic Pokemon yes. But Arceus plays better.
>>724332985i am dying to know the origin of this meme, you're really pushing forward with "india is the only country that hates china"?
>>724330730How can China be so based. What I'm supposed to be upset with Tencent again? First day purchase if they keep this.
yep, he's definitely a poojeet streetshitterbet he's mad that chinese are developing amazing games while his shithole is known for cow poop festivals
>>724332381It filters self-inserter freaks.
pokemon is in such a sad state, I feel bad
>>724317742>holding handssold
>>724333158indians try to make sure they the least hated in the world
>>724332887Thanks. It's looking great. Palworld did nothing to me, and I have lose any interest in Pokemon over the years. But this is looking great, I will most likely give it a try if my schedule allows me when it releases.
>>724333212yeah yeah yeah, i'm a vishnulicker or whatever, i get it, but like, why? how did you land on this strategy? it's so bizarre, i love it
>>724323708it's obviously marketed toward women and men (lonely).
>>724320501Wow, they even copied the frame rate!
>>724319636>suing the CCPjejid like to see them try
>>724333337agreed, it's so fucking cute and it's not a sexual thing at all
So much false flagging in this thread, how fucking mentally ill can you people be?
>>724329732>>724330730Yup, I will now play your game
>>724332589DW. I'm only against browns.
i would rather plays a game made by honest and hardworking Indians than by bastard chinese and scamster tencent
>>724318361If this game is successful is GF/nintendo just fucked? The palworld lawsuit proved that they are shit scared of their golden goose having market competition (which would force them to make good pokemon games). But there is no way nintendo can fuck with the CCP's top dog dev.
>>724332381So they can justify sexualizing them under the argument that they are technically adults of a midget race, see, they have those pointy ears they are not human children they are midget adults, now please purchase the revealing bikini outfits.
>>724333945aqua poster we know ur a pajeet
>>724332915Tencent can shit out a Pokemon game in a year that obliterates ZA and humiliates Nintendo forever
you can also hold hands with the mons btw
>>724317742pokemon loyalists are gonna be so fucking jelly of the handholding like you're not gonna believe
>>724317742This game is going to be groomer central like roblox
>>724334831Gamefreak is such a joke of a company. The only defenders they should have are children and those who aren't allowed within a hundred feet of one
Pokemon is pure garbage.Nintendo holding on for dear life to this type of game through nothing but litigation should make anyone's skin crawl. It's extreme kikery. I support these games fully.
>>724334831I can't do this with Masquernya FUUUUCK!!!
>>724334831that city mogs ZA so hard, it's over
>>724335161Same. If any space needs total chinksect infestation it's the pokeymans clone sector. Everything Nintendo let game freak get away with on switch to now is embarrassing
>>724335259They did it to themselves. Like EA did with sportsball games. Make a monopoly. Turn it into rancid dogshit. Then get bought by semites.
>phone game has modeled windows and doors>biggest franchise has laziest image textures WITHOUT believable depth or normal bump (even on the switch 2 version)i can understand that gameplay should be prioritized over graphics, but this is just insultingplus, the argument is self-defeating tooif pokemon fans can complain about every single monster tamer game besides pokemon not having appealing monster designs, they have absolutely no right to defend the visuals of pokemon games
>>724334831I will hold hands with every mon that has hands.
>>724335580And the monster design worship is literally rose tinted man child nostalgia goggles. They defend them like you're going after their family members
>>724322546Holy based, i wont play it but i hope it does well, nintendo deserves to die
>>724322546>>724322629>hey, got any grapes?
i love how each monster has a different way for carrying trainersand pretty much all monsters are rideable, or have handhold animations
>>724336004Imma call this one Bulldrome.
>>724335580>biggest franchiseYou mean, highest grossing intellectual property in the world backed by one of the oldest and strongest video game publishers who also owns 1/3rd of that IP. How the fuck has Nintendo and TPC not taken extreme legal measures against Gamefreak for actively sabotaging Pokemon yet? Like I know Gamefreak got a pretty decent deal with their original contract, but surely there has to be some legal way to fuck them in the ass for not putting in even a modicum of effort into their games and refusing help.
>>724336004yeah nintendo is definitely going to try and throw all their lawyers at this, they cant allow this to release in the west
>>724336004Unique animations? Why are they so anti semitic? It's disgusting people like them exist.
>>724332606It is heaven's mandate for the CCP to root around your hentai collection please understand
>>724336083Because every release is another record broken. Once a Pokemon game sells 5 million lifetime and not over the weekend then they'll start wagging fingers
>>724318361Breath of the Wild really did some damage to gaming
>>724336242But surely they could see the potential profits being flushed down the toilet right? Even if the amount of effort was on par with Mario Odyssey and BotW Pokemon would probably sell double or triple what it does now.
>patent riding and ride-transition mechanic>don't even use it in the latest game>>724336242they don't even have to sell 5m copies in the first weektheir game budgets are less than 20m each
When are they going to make a pokemon ripoff of the older gens?I want not-pokemons to look like animals and dinosaurs not dolls made to be easy to manufacture and sell.
>>724324661'looking like genshin' is the biggest compliment you could give a switch Pokemon game lmao
With 5 trillion chinese people in the world why can't they make something new?
>>724336242Aren't the sales numbers being fudged anyways because most people who play this slop buy both copies? They are throwing away a massive amount of people while pretending like their sales are as good as other first party nintendo titles. Pokemon releasing two games should mean the sales should skyrocket far and above every other Nintendo title.
>>724336528I have absolutely no idea but yes people like you describe exist. See my former friend. He always bought 4 copies of every Polemon game. Two of each version. One to play/trade with. The other"to keep"
>>724334831Pokemon fans insult these games by calling them clones but no one seems to question why these clones are so much better made than modern Pokemon games? Like even if you think palworld sucks due to the ark survival elements which I do agree kinda suck but why are the pals so much more alive and integrated into the environment than Pokemon are ? Why does palworld offer a much more diverse world with different biomes and challenges? Why can you interact much more with the pals compared to Pokemon? Like in ZA your pokemon is basically a Ghost or an illusion, you can literally pass through them meanwhile palworld bothers to make physics even for dead pals who you can move around.
this franchise is old, and the grass cat is older than sprigatitothey decided to redesign a lot of their mons, plus they are also open to fan submissions, meaning if a fan made design is really good and people like it, it may become an official designthis is a really good news because gamefreak has admitted in their leaked internal documents how they had to sabotage their designs because they looked too similar to fan designs
>>724320643let me clarify: When he says "nobody likes them", what he means when he uses the word "nobody" are people. As in, sapient human beings with a personality, a soul, hopes and dreams, thoughts of their own, all that stuff. What he doesn't mean by "nobody" are mouth breathing, braindead drooling drones, aka, the creatures that consoom pokeslop. Those aren't people therefore they aren't refered to when someone says "nobody". You wouldn't say "nobody" when talking about animals or objects either, right? Hope that helps.
>>724336881I think it had a movie too right?
>>724336881"Ah fuck the peasants are more talented than us, shut it down" has been the Tendie/GF modus operandi since ethe beginning
>>724336881they also scrapped that flying eeveelution planned for gen 7 games because it looked similar to a fan design>>724336971yeah, i thinkand there's the web browser game too
>>724335954The man said, "No, we just sell a pokemon bootlegBut it's new, and it's fresh, and it's all china-madeCan I get you a battle pass?"
>>724317742DID SHE JUST... THROW A BALL TO SUMMON A CREATURE????AIIEEEEE I'M GOING INSAAAANE @fbi @nintendo DO SOMETHING
too bad it's an always online gachacan't the chinese just sell it as a complete game for 70 bucks?
>>724337494it's not a gacha
>>724336004>can ride with friendsjesus idc if the designs are bad this is soulful
>>724337598is it just cosmetics?
>>724317742>Designs STILL lack that certain something Pokemon designs haveIt's just so inexplicable, honestly. Everything that isn't ACTUALLY Pokemon just feels off. The design sensibility lacks something. Even the worst Pokemon designs still FEEL like Pokemon. What the fuck is up with that?
>>724332957People like you really underestimate how much of a fucking corporate giant Nintendo is. Just because they usually keep to their own shit doesn't mean they're small or nothing. People only know Tencent is huge because they throw money at everything whereas Nintendo throws money at its own shit (and lawsuits).
>>724337810yesmonetization is purely cosmetic
>>724323708HOLY SHIT IT TOOK THIS LONG FOR SOMEONE TO MENTION THEYRE HOLDING HANDS
>>724317742>Pokémon with Lalafell and handholdingSounds too lewd to be real.
>>724319636Nintendo sells their Switch consoles through Tencent in China. They'd be giving up the Chinese market if they sued them and the only way to get back in would be through releasing games via Steam since the Chinese government regulations are ridiculously strict. Pretty devious of Tencent.
so there's four pokemon clones coming out of china?
>>724322546What's with the duck?
>>724336517they are taught to steal since they are born
>developer rips off pokemon design: "REEEE PLAGIARISM @NINTENDO @FBI @HILLARYCLINTON @BARACKOBAMA DO SOMETHING!!! I JUST SCALED THE MODEL IN A 3D SOFTWARE TO MATCH POKEMON MODELS AND IT IS HECCKIN MATCHERRINO!!!">developer doesn't rip off pokemon designs: " >>724337864 "
>>724318361let's see shittendo try to sue them kek
>>724338387gotta wait for Sony to finish suing them first
>>724338257*Palworld-likesNo one fucking cares about pokeslop anymore, it is all about Palworld now.
>>724317742Name?!?! NAME!!? MY STEAM COLLECTION FOR A NAME!!!
>>724319917>those designs lack any uniformity or style, it's literally just random shit out of a hatSo like most of gen 5-9 pokemon
>>724338563>anon can't read the image name
>>724338563File name retard, Roco Kingdom
>>724338513>4 palworld clones>while palworld is locked in a legal battleit's like everyone is going after them
>>724322941Neither, they are both utter dogshit like the reat of Switch pokemon games. Play gen 1 - 5 hack roms and fangames
for anyone curious no its not gacha, and the microtransaction will outfits like this
>>724337864you do not actually think this, the thing is that objectively all non pokemon franchises can't seem to design appealing BIRD creatures so your judgment encompasses the entirety of creatures you see despite it only applying to the birds.
>>724338893how do cosmetic only online games fair? will it keep going after a year? i don't want to play something that'll shut down in a few years
>>724339029idk but hey the game is launching with a lot of content so at least you had fun without spending a dime
>>724338780All shartendo is doing is giving free publicity to Palworld.
>>724338658>>724338669Thanks I figured it out almost immediately
>>724339029fortnite seems to be doing welli don't recall there being any gacha in fortnite, just cosmetic skins
>>724338780The reality is that even if Nintendo throws the entire legal department at them, they can just sell the game domestically in China and make shitloads of money. Japanese and Western companies can't rip off Nintendo as easily because of strong IP law enforcement, but China is a gigantic domestic market of consumers who are steadily growing in wealth, so even if your game is banned everywhere else it doesn't matter. Nintendo can't just send the copyright police into the PRC. So it's a big untapped market for Chinese companies. This doesn't just go for nintendo, but all Western and Japanese IPs being hoarded currently.
>>724338893>Nautilus wife
one day we'll have the dream pokemon game everyone wants. I am choosing to believe thatany and all possible competition is only a good thing as it puts pressure on the pokemon company. I hope it releases and makes another sizeable splash like palworld did. Neither of these games are the "one" to actually be pokemon killers as this is clearly gonna be f2p chinese slop and palworld has major issues but it's good they exist
>>724339029PSO2 is powered entirely by extremely autistic whales, all the premium paid stuff in PSO2 boils down to cosmetic stuff.If the game manages to lure a group of loyal whales with cosmetics, then they are set as long as they keep feeding those whales new cosmetics.
>>724339029It's gonna be a fight between this and the genshin pokemon game Hope you pick the right one to back
>>724317742NINTENDOSUE THIS MAN
>>724317742looks gay and retarded, like nupokemon
>>724338893adding to this, some clothing is free and others are paid outfits like these that come with special throw animations and interaction animationsthese outfits don't give any stat boosts or anything, they're just for show, so buy them if you like them or ignoreyou can also get some of the premium clothing currency per update, so if you save up enough you can buy the premium clothing items too
>>724320098>>724322546It doesn't matter one bit. Nintendo doesn't have the balls to sue a developer from a country they have no leverage in, unlike Sony with the Horizon ripoffs. We'd be better off in a world where Nintendo took down Gayshin Impacted.
>>724319636I hope tencent sues instead, they'd win.
>>724338893When does it come out?
>>724340052Tencent would win lol
>>724340316right there a global test but by that only in china unless you can bypass it with a qq number (chinese number)
>>724339705Honestly with how China and Russia don't give a flying fuck about copyright law, why don't they just make an actual pokemon game themselves instead of clone-shit? Like literally just make a Pokemon game and make it better than Gamefreak ever could, what is Nintendo going to do? Piss and shit themselves?
>>724340473they did
>>724331639I love noctowl
>>724340592But how can they enforce it? CCP doesn't give a fuck. What are Nintendo Ninjas just going to somehow waltz into China and take the money themselves?
>>724340316most likely next year, if not in 2025they are testing co-op right now meaning it's nearing release
>>724336473Really? The "biggest" compliment? Are you sure about that?
>>724340316Supposedly this year, and there is only 2 months left so there is that, my bet is sometime around December.
>>724340705i don't even play genshin but it mogs nu zelda in both world design and art direction
Pokemon clones are only as good as their Human girls are sexy.
>>724317742>ripping off both Pokemon and Harry PotterSold!
>>724340871HoYoverse got you covered
>>724340592>Name of company not even mentionedIt's likely these developers were small enough to struggle financially with lawsuits as Nintendo hasn't gone after large companies.
>>724340997>GaaS>SoldYou can't buy/own it.
>>724341073Guangzhou Maichi Network Technology Co., Ltd and this was their game.
>>724341154Yea, yea. Go suck Trump's cock some more, Gamestop.
>>724341204looks nothing like pokemon
>>724326029Dont underestimate how fucking huge the Asian Mobile game market
>>724340232>unlike Sony with the Horizon ripoffs.wait, what?Horizon is a MH ripoff.
>>724341204how is this remotely related to pokemon
>>724340692The suit was in China. The award came from a Chinese court. "the CCP" are the ones ordering the money be paid.
>>724320832the west has 50 different cola brands. a major part of capitalism is preventing monopolies so the best product may win. please stop acting like a retard.

>>724342126uuuuuuuuuuuuuooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh
>>724317742Looks cute but I'm like 50/50 on if I even care about pokemon clones anymoreNintendo drone strike thsi man
>>724317742pokémon clones never work because they’ve got no history - no cultural impact. even if new pokémon games suck, everyone still loves their old favorites and will always try to catch them first.nobody cares enough to learn the names of bootleg pokémon. everyone’s first exposure to the monster collecting genre will always be pokémon, and 20 years from now nobody will have nostalgia for or even remember roco kingdom or temtem.sure, maybe your first exposure to the genre was digimon, but the point still stands
Do pokeniggers really?
>>724319636Oh please please please pleeeeeeeease let Nintendo be retarded enough to file a lawsuit at Tencent. They would invalidate every single patent Nintendo has overnight.
>>724322546So?
>>724320501even more blatant than palworld lmfaoand the best part is Nintendo won't do shit
>>724332915it's insane how much better unite and most non-game freak spin offs really are than the mainline games
>>724317742>Designs are a downgrade from PalworldNo thanks
>>724320832>But seriously, how can the Chinese copy things so thoroughly without shame? They have what is called a "Nationalist country" as well as a "Racially homogenous country" and a "High-trust society".If these words scare you, don't worry- It scares lots of Americans. What it means is that China will always look out for them and theirs first and foremost. So when a developer makes Pokemon but in 3D, it's up to everyone else to prove that they have the right to it. Vague "WE INVENTED MONSTERS INSIDE OF BALLS" shit isn't going to fly, you need actual proof that something has been stolen and not vague ideas that something may have been infringed based on poorly-made drawings in patents and weighted by kickbacks and bribes to Judges and Clerks. When you put it in that lens, it's a much more difficult system to game like Nintendo has by patenting literally the concept of flying on a Glider or a Bird's talons, both of which appeared in books before Nintendo was even selling playing cards.
>>724342418>nintendo sue tencent>tencent retaliates by creating a clone of every nintendo franchise ever to exist>the masses consume them because those clones are free and on their phones>those clones eclipse the original franchises like how genshin did to zelda>nintendo dies
>>724326505Respecting jewish law is the ultimate cucking
>>724341729This but keep in mind that this was the old west that was nationalist and racially homogenous. If Coca Cola was made today you better believe they would patent the taste and texture because that's the kind of hellscape we live in where men in black Mumus with tiny wooden hammers can dictate the usage of thoughts with more control than a medieval king could ever have.
>>724342949please let it happen oh god
>>724343092>There is no single, definitive number of LLMs, but it is estimated that there are hundreds of thousands to millions, with platforms like Hugging Face hosting over 700,000 LLMs. This large number includes both major, foundational models and countless fine-tuned versions adapted for specific tasks.
>>724343316idk what that has to do with anything. there was a serious attempt to patent LLMs and transformers, too.
>>724342983This.
>>724343486>there was a serious attempt to patent LLMs and transformers, too.oh yeah? how did that work out?
>>724319103on her way to Black City
>>724343620Some of it got granted and then repealed. The problem is that LLMs and transformers are math, and that is explicitly something which cannot be patented alongside other generic concepts like Game Mechanics. But that doesn't stop our retarded IP system of clerks and judges from letting Nintendo patent the idea of throwing a ball at something.
>>724343092>patent the taste and texture>>724343876>patent the ideayou don't know what a patent is
>>724317742I'll buy it just to make Nintendo shit themselves.
>>724340248Please god let this be happen would be so fucking funny
>>724344025You can't buy it, is free, the only thing you can buy is cosmetics.
>>724318361BASED ChinaGODS shitting on shitendo and their unlawful practices
>>724344025>buyhe doesn't know
>>724343752Haha she is build for delicious long iykyk king :3
>>724343957>you don't know what a patent isI in fact, do know what patents are. You're in denial that the system allowed something as generic as throwing a ball at a monster to go throughand btw, I didn't use that example earlier as an illustration, our retarded system has granted patents on taste:https://patents.google.com/patent/US20100215822A1/en>Attempts have been made to analyze the components affecting the taste and texture of sugar, but the complexity of the system is so great that no clear picture of the active components has been obtained.They are, in fact, called 'Mouthfeel' patents. Because if they used the word taste it would be invalidated immediately. It's functionally the same thing. They don't even have to describe it or describe the underlying functionality. It's literally a patent on a taste.2008 is also the year that Apple gave us the design patents on rectangles with the edges cut off. You do not hate IP law enough.
>>724343957throwing a ball at a monster to catch it is just an idea, one nintendo didn't even come up with. you should be angry at nintendo for not knowing what a patent is
>>724344267You're sounding like a palcuck
>>724323791Copying things and improving is the most capitalistic thing ever faggot. It's a fucking shame the entire west isn't like China.So many many great products could be made cheaper if we simply ignored copyright shit.Artificial scarcity would never be a thing.
>>724344178You cannot patent a concept or an idea. You patent an implementation. You do not know what a patent is.
>>724344445i don't give a shit about palworld, patenting something Ultraman was doing in the 80s shouldn't be legal.
>>724330970>>724331080Cute, but too bad it'll very likely be a gacha.Complete waste of opportunity to kill Pokemon
>>724344479>You cannot patent a concept or an idea.I literally linked a patent on an idea with a statement in the patent stating it's an idea.> You patent an implementation. Ok what's the implementation in>>Attempts have been made to analyze the components affecting the taste and texture of sugar, but the complexity of the system is so great that no clear picture of the active components has been obtained.There is no implementation here. They just described an idea of how it should taste. Not only do you not know what a patent is, you're in severe denial about what one is based on physical evidence that I am presenting to you that you're choosing to ignore. Please, seek the mental help you need.
>>724344550How many times you must be told before you understand? Is not a gacha, the way the game will generate money is by selling cosmetics.
>>724344525Yeah, fuck off to your steamcuck device. Go back to editing .ini files.
>>724344479>You cannot patent a concept or an idea. i'm not even a burger and I know you're full of shit.>Apple's rounded rectangle patent, specifically patent D670,286, covers the design of devices with a rectangular shape and rounded cornersthis patent was filed 60 years after the etch-a-sketch and 10 after the palm pilot. people are pissed at the patent system because it doesn't follow its own rules. if you have money you can buy any generic idea you want.
>>724335161Pokemon is entering the slow death phase. You have A-Z not doing as well as previous games and way more competition coming out because people want a piece of the Pokemon pie. Nintendo losses the plot and rather than make a better game (which is why no one really bothers to make these kinds of games in the first place) is suing to hope they do away. The problem is there are now three Pokemon clones coming from Chinese developers and in the case of at lease two of them (Mihoyo and Tencent) are big enough that Nintendo can't sue them......and even then they are fucking losing because their case is so shit (what do you mean our idea isn't original and other similar ideas have existed on the market we're Nintendo we made jumping). You'll see more and more games sell worse. The only difference between Pokemon and something like WoW is Pokemon's ownership is a complete clusterfuck. I wouldn't be surprised if what actually kills Pokemon is a fight between Game Freak and Nintendo with Creature stuck in the middle. Expect video essays in 5 years talking about all of this complete with a sad AI Pikachu
>>724344748The part that you are quoting is not part of the claims and is therefor not patented. The only protect material is what is present in the claims.I do know what a patent is because I have had to work with patent attorneys on a few occasions. There are problems with IP law but you are complaining about things that are simply not reality. Also the "evidence" you supplied is digital, not physical.
>>724344847who the fuck are you talking to, pokenigger?like i'd own a cuck deck when i got a laptop, lmfao. im going back to playing all 2 of your games for free nintendolt.

>>724345304>WHY ISN'T /v/INTENDO MY HUGBOX??better question is why aren't you angry that nintendo can't match a crappy mobile game from china with pokemon money?
>>724345171>>724345269Did you both miss the part where I show you that you were quoting from the description rather than the claims? The claims are what get patented, not the description. You cannot patent an idea. You cannot patent a concept. You cannot patent a taste.
>>724333945>honest and hardworking IndiansLMAOHAHAHAHAHA
Let this be engraved in your mind pokefags, Palworld won, Palworld unleashed all these Palworld clones, Palworld did better than any pokemon game in existence and Palworld is not even done yet, the damage to your shit franchise will only keep piling up.Palworld won.Pokemon lost.Nintendo lost.
>>724322546how does that concern me?
>>724317742a lot of the monster on the trailers look like chibi balls, will this have a evolution mechanic for the cooler monsters or is it aiming for the people who like cute marketable monsters?
>>724345524Palworld won the fight, but it didn't win the war. That will fall to some other Pokemon clone that isn't a cobbled-together survivalcraft shit.

>>724345067>I do know what a patent is because I have had to work with patent attorneys on a few occasions. There are problems with IP law but you are complaining about things that are simply not reality.It objectively is reality, here is a definition of mouthfeel patents:https://www.hgf.com/blogs/ip-ingredients-can-you-patent-a-flavour/>In summary, sensory characteristics such as flavour or mouthfeel can play a prominent role in the patenting of food and drink inventions. Such sensory attributes need to be defined in terms of the technical features that give rise to them, and typically, at least in Europe, it is required to articulate the problem that is solved and why the solution provided by an invention is not obvious (and hence inventive). Sensory characteristics can be supported by, for example, measurements of a product’s physical properties or score-ranked taste panel data.Yes, you can patent flavors and you don't even need real specification to describe what the flavor is or why it's innovative outside of Europe. Pay enough money to a judge and you can patent common flavors. This kind of shit is why people are fed up with the corrupt patent system.and here's another slew of them from pepsi co, speaking of patenting cola that I found just trying to remind you that you're full of shit. https://patents.justia.com/patent/11700869You are in denial over being incredibly incorrect, again. Please. please. please. please. please spend your personal time better than saying misinformation on the internet. It's better for your mental health than seeing reality and having to deny it for your ego.

>>724345857refer to >>724345386The blog you posted reflects the opinion of the blog's author. Also, to be clear, I am specifically talking about US patent law.If you look at the patents you posted the claims refer to the implementation, not the concept. The description does not have any bearing on what is patented. It offers zero legal protection. Only the claims are patented, nothing else. You can link 1000 more patents where they talk about taste in the description but this doesn't change the descriptions are not patented.

>>724344178>>724345857Nigger I'm not that other guy but you're retarded.What's patented is not the flavor, it's how the flavor is achieved. You are either deep in denial or just lack basic reading comprehension.If I come up with a new drink that closely mimics the feel and taste of cum so I can sell it to homosexuals like yourself, I can probably patent the combination of ingredients making that possible. I can't patent the taste of cum itself, and if you come up with a different set of ingredients that does something similar, I can't stop you from selling that.
>>724346286Top comfy
>>724342232Honestly, and it truly boggles my mind that it keeps flying over people's heads, but I always feel like the thing that gets routinely missed when it comes to Pokemon clones is just the setting.I think the key reason why Pokemon has stood the test of time (and to even a lesser extent, Digimon) isn't just the creature design but the setting itself. Pokemon's approach to presenting a psuedo-modern alternate earth I believe is what drives it's appeal among kids. You can relate the design of the creatures to real world equivalents, while playing within a world that's kinda like your own to drive their imagination. The original digimon anime run was basically just an isekai, but the context that its a digital world you entered from the real one meant that kids got to fantasize about the possibility of entering their computer or whatever themselves. I think having a more grounded setting is always what allowed Yokai-Watch to do so well at it's peak back in the day too. I just dont think pokeclones ever really manage to make a real dent when they lean too much into the fantastical for their settings, but China is such a fucking massive market these chink clones will probably still do well off the back of their domestic markets to begin with.
>>724345835I don't like Palworld, I think it's a very bad game, but then again I just hate Ark clones and survival/crafting/basebuilding/openworld type games. That being said, even I remember Dazzi. Palworld honestly had some decent designs, it's just a shame they're trapped in a terrible game.

>>724330948I assume the thought process behind it is that Pokemon's style is both a proven commercial success and easy to copy, as demonstrated by the legions of fanartists churning out convincing fakemons all the time. Meanwhile, it's a riskier and far more difficult proposition to come up with your own style, especially when it can be polarizing to those who are used to Pokemon's. Just look at how vehemently some Pokemon fans hate the artstyle of Digimon or Megaten or Yo-kai Watch because their brains are simply incapable of accepting that those series don't have to follow Pokemon's "rules."The problem is that, in practice, Pokemon fans just dismiss anything else that looks like Pokemon as a cheap knockoff without even trying it first. So it's futile to even try appealing to them that way. But these studios are all clueless and lazy, so they keep chasing what they erroneously see as the easy way to compete with Pokemon. They're also greedy and delusional enough to think they could ever steal the entire fanbase instead of settling for whatever portion they could potentially get from putting their own spin on the genre.

Not that it even matters since they could stop making games tomorrow and keep living off Pikachu plushies and Charizard cards forever. The brutal reality is that the combination of Pokemon's declining quality and competitors' increasing quality hasn't made any significant number of Pokemon fans demand better. What it's actually done is make them dig in their heels and huddle together in a cult-like defense mode to protect the brand even as it treats them like cattle. There's no real mechanism to force accountability or improvement since the franchise is immune to competition, coddled by the media, and prints so much money from merch and trading cards that they'd barely even feel a dip in game sales if it ever happened. Pokemon is too big to fail.
>>724347167I put 25 hours into it and don't remember anything but the chicken. It really was that forgettable, but maybe only because I've played other open world sloppa like Conan Exiles and Valheim.
>>724348246>The brutal reality is that the combination of Pokemon's declining qualityI wouldn't say this. ZA Legends is way better than Arceus Legends and SV. I mean it actually runs at a stable 60 fps, which was the biggest criticism of the previous games.>competitors' increasing qualityThat said I do absolutely agree with this. Palworld has shown that Gamefreak can do better. Hell gamefreak themselves has shown they can do better since they're making a soulslike that actually looks good. It's just the Pokemon division that really gives no fucks.
>>724347690>implying that predexit 100% of all existing pokemon were available to catch during your playthrough and not locked away to whatever mcguffin allowed you to transfer your mons in the post-game.The concept of Dexit was never truly a bad thing for anyone but the autistic only capable of thinking in black and white strokes. The problem was always that it was introduced in what is literally the absolute worst game in the 3D era of Pokemon where the actual benefit of dexit (scaling back scope to better polish the mons that do get in the games) was just not present at all. If Gen 8 at least launched with what could be seen as actually new models and animations and not just the same 3DS era models and animations with new textures. People wouldn't still be yammering on about it if they at least opened the new direction with something like the gen 9 models for the Kanto starters and a clip of Blastoise actually shooting it's hydro pump from it's cannons.

>>724348552Thanks for let me know you are from the china.
>>724317742I don't want a pokemon killer, I just pokemon to be better
>>724320501Duck looks cool, the other thing looks like an actual Pokemon
the designs look kinda bad, the lalafell characters are cute i guess but thats it, also tencent and sus free 2 play model. palworld may be hold back by its surival crafter setting but its still better imo
>>724317742No thanks, I will play and replay gens 1-5 + rom hacks until the end of time
>>724317742The funniest part is Nintendo cant do anything because Chinks don't acknowledge international copyright laws
>>724348246>the games keep selling better while they keep getting worsePeople tend to look at stuff in a vacuum and not in totality. Consider this. Here are the sales for the best selling 3DS games in their respective series:>MK7 - 19M>X/Y - 17M>AC New Leaf - 13M>Smash Bros 3DS - 10MNow look what happens when you get to the Switch>MK8D - 69M>AC NH - 48M>Smash Ultimate - 37M>S/V - 27MYeah, Pokemon sold better on Switch, but fucking everything sold better. In fact, every other game got a bigger boost than Pokemon did. Mind you, those three games are the best selling in their respective series. The best selling Pokemon game is still fucking Red/Blue. Pokemon has been stagnant since probably the DS. It's just Switch games sold so well that it made it look like Pokemon was doing better when in reality it was riding a wave. The reason its a slow decline is its a big series. People aren't going to drop it over night. But it's a combination of low quality and greater competition that will eventually lead to the series declining. BUT MUH MERCHADISE is more just retarded since if people lose interest in the games, they're probably lose interest in the merchandise. Star Wars merchandise used to be profitable too.
>>724348985From the china saar do not redeem the china saar!
>>724349192You can help by reporting shit like this so at least word doesn't go around
>>724318361>riding>monstersSUE
>>724348694Not sure about this one but I think Mihoyo's new one will cause them to blow a gasket. Mihoyo's games tend to dominate social media so they'll have do deal with Hoyotards shitting on them endlessly. Say what you will about the quality of their games, but Mihoyo games at least show a level of effort never seen in a Pokemon title. The shit storm for that one will be massive
>using balls to catch monstersLawsuit incoming.
>>724349027>I just pokemon to be betterDon't ask for things that will never happen, saar.
>>724349246>ZA sold more than Ghost of Yotei and Asscreed ShadowsIf you consider this a decline, you and I will both be long dead before Pokemon actually fades into irrelevance. Like that Anon said, it's meaningless when you've been parroting the same cope for over a decade.
>>724336004Damn this boar is absolute kino
>>724349579I don't know if it will never happen. It's pretty difficult, yeah but maybe someday it will
>>724349503Genshin was supposed to be the Zelda killer, but aside from /v/ shitposting nothing actually happened.Also as someone who actually plays Hoyo gacha, they're all on the decline right now. Ananta has the possibility of making more waves and that's a GTA competitor, not a Pokemon one.
>>724349574lol, lmao even. let me know how that turns out.
>>724349715It will never happen, get a clue, they rather use scummy tactics like lawsuits over attempting to make a good product.
>>724338513your shitposting but they really didn't give a single fuck before Palworld, it's fucking hilarious to think about
>>724349246The games are just ads for the merch, Super Mario has merch etc but it's defo a game franchise first, Pokemon hasn't been that since the original releases.
>>724349813I don't lose anything by believing
>>724349246You're neglecting to consider that Pokemon as a franchise is far more saturated compared to your other points of comparison. You didn't have 5 other Mario Kart games launch on the same system as MK8D. To put this into perspective, lets break down and tally up the sale numbers for every mainline Pokemon title on the Switch 1, not including PLZA>SV - 27.15M>SwSh - 26.84M>LetsGo - 15.07M>BDSP - 15.06M>PLA - 14.83MYou are looking at 98.95M unit sales across the mainline franchise on a single console generation, even if we are to be generous to PLZA and cut the currently reported 5.8M sales in half to roughly just count Switch 1 sales, we are looking at over 100M franchise unit sales on a single console. You absolutely could see potentially a generational fall-off, but that moment certainly is not right now. Pokemon as an IP is still appealing, the games are just kinda ass. Star Wars is not.
>>724349729I don't even play genchink, but even I can tell that they completely blasted zelda the fuck out.
>>724317742Focus tested for this last year. Do you really think chinese gachashit will be good? Popular or not real gamers shouldn't be excited.
Very cute. Could be a replacement for Sky as a handholding simulator.
>>724350134Gamers are faggots, I'm a video game enjoyer, and I'm looking forward to this game.
>>724317742Kek a fucking mobile game gets better graphics than switch release, lmao japan is really sad cunt.
>>724321747>flew too close to the Solrock
>>724320567Quit being a disingenuous asshole. You know what the fuck he means.

>>724341073It was 6 Chinese companies, they knew what they were doing.
>>724319636You can't sue chinks, they don't respect laws and the gov will blow a fuse if a country points it out.
>>724322546These icons are terrible. Even the basic ones on the bottom right take a few milliseconds too long to decipher.
>upskirt protection ripples when swimming in water
>>724350063>AI slop>GOOGLE AI slopStick to steam charts shitposting, my guy.
>>724351561Google AI slop just collects common opinions across pages and shit out a consensus, so is not completely wrong.
>>724348412>I mean it actually runs at a stable 60 fpsThe entire game takes place in a glorified shoebox they've passed off as a city and has Game Freak's usual N64 graphics. It's embarrassing that it only manages 60 fps. This is again why Pokemon is too big to fail. They've created such low standards for themselves that it's impossible for them to fail.
>>724349246First of all, modern Pokemon games deserve to sell 0 units. 27 million is an embarrassment and shows the level of cult-like devotion people have for this shit.Second of all, you're making a disingenuous comparison. Pokemon is shitting out a new game every other year while you only get one Mario Kart, one Animal Crossing, and one Smash per console. Just SV and SWSH combined is already 53 million in sales, which is only behind MK8D on your list, and that's not including the Legends games, Legpiss, or BDSP.Third of all, the budgets for Pokemon games are so low that it's impossible for them to not turn a profit.>The reason its a slow decline The reason it's not a slow decline is because it's not declining.
>>724349246Forgot to add:>BUT MUH MERCHADISE is more just retarded since if people lose interest in the games, they're probably lose interest in the merchandise.A lot of people buying the merchandise are normalfag women who have probably never even touched a game and are just buying it for the cutesy creatures. They could very easily just drop games and become a merchandise franchise like Hello Kitty without any real problems.

>>724317931based youngsters
>>724342232Except all the ones that failed are the ones that copied too much of the shitty parts of pokemon. The static gameplay, the lack of interaction, the lack of freedom and barriers. The moment you start giving your game some interactivity(like what the chinks are doing now and what palworld did) is when your game blows up.Japs are basically island chinks, there's nothing stopping chinks from making a better clone. Even japs being obsessed with robotics in fiction as they are, they can't even make a good humanoid robot past asimo.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iULi4-qz22I
>>724317742Palworld was successful because "pokemon + guns/slavery" is just an absurd concept in a funny way. This plays it a little too safe.
>>724355574This vidya is for 10 year olds.
>>724355574This one has lolis which is kino, I'll play it specifically because of that.
>>724348431>The concept of Dexit was never truly a bad thing for anyonePokemon fans used to shit on every other monster RPG for not having a running national dex until the day it was removed, then suddenly it was full-on "we were never at war with Eastasia" style revisionism from all but the tiny minority of fans with any standards.Also, keep in mind, Game Freak had been charging people a subscription fee to store their Pokemon under the pretense that it would guarantee you'd always be able to transfer and use them in future games. That was a shameless scam that got swept under the rug.
>>724331072>no intereaction with the 3rd dimensionWrong.
>>724317742>the loli and the shota holding hands while running around and playingFinally, someone who gets it. This sort of thing is what /v/idya really needs. I hope there's also princess carrying, piggybacking and other displays of casual skinship.

>>724363187Is actually a palworld clone.
Not chinese but please explain why it's bad to put Chinese stuff on your pc?The government spies on the citizens regardless of if they're chinese based or not. Why does it matter if some dude is watching you jack 50 loads to futa-guro-monster girls?Is it a concern you'll get more ads for porn like that? Is it a concern you'll get some poor chinese dude into that stuff?
