Nerf this
>>724352273Dang.
>>724352273trump and sony lost in the end
Nice boycott faggots
dont want
Pokemons on GBA were kinda ok, never played later release, is it really worth spending this much on game that looks like shitty PS3 game?
>>724352509it's much more fun than any PS3 game, which is all that matters
>>724352273Didn't it sell less than Legends Arceus? What's the top 5?
>>724352273>selling 5.8 million copies in the first weekBased. Kek. As usual /v/ was wrong.
>>724352273>5th bestThat's probably not something they should be saying out loud kek.
>>724352862Only /v/ would call 6 million sales a flop
>>724352273>first weekmeanwhile it's a huge dip from Legends Arceus
>>724352932only poketards would glaze a sharp decline from the previous games sales as a win
Pokeslop is MK Ultra
>>724352789NOOOOOO!! IT FLOPPEDD!!!
>>724352570Wow so it really change, when i was playing it, it was more like grind simulator. But maybe that's what you like in games
>pokeniggers when you suggest that their billion dollar company spend ¥0.002 more to improve their games
>>724353153I mean they're right. Compared to the rest of the franchise it dropped the ball.
>>724352273based shit eaters
>>724353097Legends Arceus sold 6.5 million in the first week.It's a decline, but not 'sharp'.I think the last time a pokemon game had improved sales from the previous gen, it was SwSh which has almost no bearing on quality.Idk that's just what I'm thinking, I didn't buy it.
>>724353097>game has one version>sells less than the total sales of another recent game with two versionsPokefags OWNED!!!
How do we know they’re not lying? You can throw any number out and people would have to believe you>b-but they can be suedHave you seen the current state of AI stocks? Literally all made up numbers
>>724352273>>724352570>>724352789>>724352932>>724353153>IT SOOOOLD A BUUUUUNCHwhy should i care when your game looks like this?
The budget for these indie games is so low they could make 100 sales and break even
>>724353097Poketards sacrificed their money, standards, dignity, the respect from family/friends, and the chance at having family/friends upon the alter of Game Freak. You bet your fucking ass they're going to take the corporation they gave up everything for gaining massive profits as a win, what choice do they have?
>>724353678Like a Pokemon game? What are you getting at.
>>724353678>why should i care when your game looks like this?What do you mean it looks fine lmao.
>>724353678Blud, you're playing it on a little screen. Not like you'll be using your reading glasses to see ts.Unc posts like these fucking pmo bro.
>>724353691>/v/ accusing others of not having familiesYou fags ERP with third worlders over gacha slop girls.
>>724353787So you admit that the graphics are bad, right? Thanks.
>>724352273I was going to say that Pokemon faggots deserve this since they'll keep getting even worse games. But I forgot that they actually enjoyed this one and defend it as "the best Pokemon game ever made"
>>724353678>why should i care when your game looks like this?That is probably the best a pokemon game has ever looked.Do you want to compare it to BF6 or something instead??
Literally HOW?! After all the negativity people had towards the game, all the whining, the boycotts... were our efforts all for nothing?! How could you still buy, play, and enjoy this game after seeing all the negativity towards it? SURELY gamefreak sees all the outrage their games get nowadays, right? I thought things would've improved after SwSh. I thought would've sold poorly due to dexit, and gamefreak would've been encouraged to actially DO BETTER after they saw all the dexit outrage in SwSh. I've been living under a rock these past seven years. I left the franchise after hearing about the SwSh dexit news. I come back after seven long years, and you mean to tell me they STILL haven't learned from their mistakes? How can you be OKAY with this? If this were any other franchise, they would've actually tried to improve things, or go under if they didn't learn from their mistakes.
>>724353678Why do muh grafix matter when the game is fun
>>724354447Fuck man Poe’s law in full force
>>724354447I don't read what faggots that aren't gonna touch the game have to say about games I'm interested in. I played it, non-turn based Pokemon battles are fun, and all the autism about how the game looks is retarded. No one plays a game walking around looking at windows or whatever the fuck people are looking at, they play the game and complain about the two hour long tutorial instead. Know why you don't see anyone else complaining about the aggressively long tutorial? Because no one complaining about the windows or how the game looks fucking touched the game.
Blast haverchads, we won...
>>724352273>"fans" (xitter users) shit on it endlessly>terrible audience score>mediocre reviews at best>still sell gorillionsCan't think of a more worthless endeavor than trying to boycott Pokemon.
>>724354697Least retarded mon fan
>>724352273So, the 1st and 2nd generation are above it obviously. I'm guessing Diamond/Pearl as well. Which other game beat it in first day sales?
>>724352273hopefully we can get pokemon Israel next
Pokefags will look at you in the face and say that the most valuable IP in the world making PS2 looking games on a budget that would be considered low in 2007, is a good thing actually.Good for Gamefreak and Nintendo, keep milking those freaks.
>>724354908Pokemon didn't have simultaneous global releases until X and Y, so none of those. Also, the first pokemon games only sold 140k in its first week, it took many weeks for Pokemon to initially become a big phenomenon. I think Scarlet/Violet and Legends Arceus sold more in the first week.
The game had a 13 million dollar budget, and has grossed over 400 million dollars so far.Now here's a question for you who like numbers. How much money is Nintendo/GameFreak going to spend on the next Pokemon game?A) 200 million dollars?B) 50 million dollars?B) 10 million dollars?Bonus question, will the game be technically advanced enough to surpass Pokemon Colosseum (2003) this time?Lol.
>>724354447>Literally HOW?!The truth of the matter is the games are still largely the same. The autists of /vp/ will insist Gen 6 killed the series, no Gen 5 killed the series, actually Gen 3 did it, etc etc but in reality they aren't that different from each other. All the boycotts and seething towards the new games did was advertise them more.>Normie on Twitter hears SwSh is the worst thing ever>looks up gameplay out of curiosity>it looks a lot like RBY>give it a try>game plays like RBY but with more stuff in it, Normie finds the hate overblownThis same phenomenon happened with SV. The Switch games have sold more than the entries on the other consoles, the haters are helping the games sell.
Is this what gamers want?In all honesty?Lol.
>>724355451Yeah, you're right. I was mixing up overall sales.I guess anti-pokefags can just say that Z-A will never be able to reach the same levels of sales as earlier Pokémon games did. Cope is a nice pain killer for complete disappointment.
>>724352273Only 5M? baby numbers.
>>724356818Palworld sold 8 mil on the first week but is also half the price.Pokemon might still have the W.
>>>/vp/
>>724352932Nobody is calling it a flop. But it is also not a hit by pokemon standards. It's just normal slop
>>724355676>GamersNeither Pokefags nor Twitter activists are regular gamers anon.
>>724356818Still not interested no matter how much you promote this shit.
>>724357323But enough of pokemon legends ZA
I don't see anything wrong with this, Pokefags are getting the game they deserve, a buggy unoptimized mess of a game that still treats their audience like small children, I hope they like the 20$ dlc that adds more Kanto nostalgia and mons that shoud have been there since the begging.
>>724352273>FIFTH best selling>this is something to brag about now
>>724356818Yes extremely popular and not a meme game.
>>724352698>Didn't it sell less than Legends Arceus? What's the top 5?Scarlet/Violet: >10m units in three days (fastest-selling game in Nintendo history)PLA: 6.5m first-weekSwSh and BDSP: ~6m first-weekZA: 5.8m first-weekSlightly lower first-week sales than the last few second-tier titles (which all went on to sell ~15 million lifetime). About half the sales were on the Switch 2, so this can probably be explained by people holding out for the Switch 2 version when they get a Switch 2.There's no reason to think this will do significantly worse in the long run than the other Pokémon games have and the people saying "SALES DOWN 30%" are shitposters who don't know how to read or do math.
>>724357686You know something anon? You are right, look at the pokefags defending current Pokemon.Hope they'll enjoy their UN/WEF propaganda they'll have for "gyms" in their next gen, "you vill buy the pokeymans and you vill be happy".Also jannies changed the captcha system again, now is characters with circles above them. lol
>>724358369As if you'll have a problem, you fags slurp up wokeshit for dinner, like Deltatroon, Life is Strange and now that capeshit cuck simulator with no gameplay.
>>724352273Maybe next time, you shouldn't believe grifters calling this a flop.
>>724352468You can't boycott a game when 90% of the buyers are parents buying it for their kids.
>>724353691People who say shit like this don't have families and it shows.
>>724358586You'll defend and slurp up everything you described when Pokemon implements that stuff into the next games and you know it. Out of all people, pokecultists are the last ones to pull a "no u" on their critics.
>>724359487The thing is /v/ has been slurping up wokeshit for years.Weren't you some f the biggest Undertale cocksuckers back in the day?And aren't you eating up that literal tranny capeshit VN?
>>724359487Hell, they're defending DLC that's announced before the game is even out, and despite gloating about how little money the game needs to make to be profitable, they still gladly accept that they still have to pay for the DLC, while still being full priced.
>>724359123This. My 11 year old ESL nephew is playing it and i have to translate everything to the little fuck when he's around
I get the actual physical merchandisethe card game actually translates to real rarity and profitability I get the sex appealfurfags, Shotacons, lolicons, milf lovers (quite often a lot of overlap) are drawn to pokemonbut the actual games are so fucking shitwho the fuck plays this garbage?
And the switch 2 is the best selling console of all time, despite sales slowing down majorly and not even surpassing the wii U yet still at 8-9 mil sales LMAO. Parents don't want to pay $900 for a switch 2, 3 games, a carrying case, screen protector and a caseTwo. More. Weeks.I'm sure the switch 2 will keep up
>Crossdressing CHADS get to play as a cute girl (male) and get a hot rival wearing short shorts and a crop top>Cute girl players get some dork in track pantsBros? Are Nintendo secretly BASED?
>>724360150It's called being woke
how does humanity recover from the reality that the most low effort slop is routinely the most financially successful?
>>724360227Maybe they could start by learning that projects with 9-digit budgets and decade-long dev times are unsustainable and making games with an affordable and consistent development schedule was better
>there's anons in this thread that wholeheartedly defends an overpriced buggy mess with day one on cartridge DLC and not doing it for the trollsGrim
>>724361813
It's not Day 1 doebeit.
>>724352273They don't have to try at all.
>>724357686>hope they like the 20$ dlc that adds more Kanto nostalgiaIs the little zoomie upset it's not Unova pandering?
Turns out shit talking a game does nothing. Game is fun, Game is good, schizos lost, Sony lost, nintenDOES what pallwardONT
>>724353153>confirmation bias bait>“people” actually watch this shitowari da
>>724353097This is a single-version legends game, one being released when people know Gen 10 is coming next year because it's the fucking 30th anniversary of Pokemon, and Pokemon has historically NEVER passed an opportunity to launch a new gen on a big anniversary milestone because it's easy marketing hype.
>>724352273>>724352386>>724352789>>724353153>>724352468>Sold less than all the previous recent games.>"WE WON!".Pokefags are REALLY delusional, aren't they?
>>724364743See>>724364698Legends isn't supposed to be a record breaker, it's filler for the main event that'll truly push Switch 2 sales since Mario Kart is failing spectacularly to do so.
>>724352273Bros.. It was supposed to sell 40% of arceus...
>>724353616>>724364698>Its a single version!!!!!By that logic, then Scarlet and Violet didn't sell 26 million, it sold 13 million?>NOOOO NOT LIKE THAT!!!
>>724364867It actually sold 39 million.
>>724364867No, dipshit, the implication is that paired games naturally sell better because of parents with two kids buying both versions or a dual pack so Timmy and Sally both have a Christmas present this year.
>>724353624Most streaming services just straight up don't disclose subscriber numbers anymore and nobody gives a shitb2yoj
>>724364790so their brilliant idea to move the switch 2 after MK world that all people left to go back to 8. Is to ship 6 mil asset flip pokemon games that people cant believe are actually released in the state it is in? Real system sellers and optimism for the future of the games right there.
>>724364867I'll bite. With traditional pokemon games you have three types of people>people who buy version A>people who buy version B>people who buy both version A and BWith a single version, all three people still buy the game, but you get half as many sales from the third type of person. So you obviously get less sales overall. But you already knew that.
>>724364923>>724364867im still floored how a massively buggy turd that runs at 5 fps and on top of it is boring as shit sells 30 mil. Sometimes i wonder if its true that half of humanity has no inner voice/thoughts of their own.
>>724365258It runs 60fps doe.
>>724365159You misread the post, fucking retard. LZA is FILLER. It exists to OCCUPY SPACE. Because Pokemon can't afford TWO CONSECUTIVE GAP YEARS or else the entire franchise starts chugging from lack of new material.The ACTUAL system seller is Gen 10 in 2026, NEXT YEAR.
>>724364743
>>724365363It's not competing against other Pokemon titles thougheveralbeit.
>>724353678that thing on the left wants dick BAD
>>724365363By your logic, all titles are competing with RGBY, and all Pokemon titles are complete flops, because none of them have exceeded Gen 1's sales. Why hasn't GameFreak killed Pokemon for being such a flopchise yet?
>>724365190Barely anyone buys both versions, there's no point
>game with a yuri subplot sells millions
>worst-selling console-only action-RPG second-iteration Pokemon title on a convertible handheld>fake windows, they're literally flat per >>724365159>crashes all the time on emulators without the day-one patchNintendo is finished. Our boycott succeeded. Good work, everyone.
>>724365258there's much truth to thisa couple of my buddies used to spam me with pics of their ballsthankfully that has stoppednow they just post recordings of them shitting
>>724365495You've lost your fucking mind if you think the number of turbo autists buying both versions is insignificant.
>>724352570>nintendo fans
>>724354347Breath of Fire 6? I thought we all agreed that never happened.
>>724352932It's less then 6 million, not too unlike that other thing.
>>724353793THAT'S DIFFERENT>>724354447>SURELY gamefreak sees all themillions of sales their low effort slop generates, yes.
Reminder that pokefags are also paying $30 in addition to the initial $70 so they can add a few more already existing mons to the game's dex.
>Pokechads get awesome additional contenthellyeah!
>>724366470yup and?
>>724365363>>724364743retard
Anti-Nintendo dents B TFO once again.

>>724367892Sonyfans5 years and no games so they seethe at a children game
>it only sold 5 million in its opening month, FEEL BADnever understood how this is supposed to affect my enjoyment of the game? It's not like they're canceling the story DLC. you faggots act like stockholders with this shit
>>724359123Lil timmies dont buy pokemon anymore retard.
>>724352468The fact there were full grown adults calling for a boycott of a franchise designed exclusively for children really is telling of just how pathetic "men" are nowadays.Here's an idea - have you people ever thought of, I don't know, growing up?
>>724365598>crashes all the time on emulators without the day-one patch> couldn't even come up with genuine problems
>>724353138>>724366340top laughs
>>724359123>pokemon>kids playing itkek
>>724368508I would argue that boycotting a children's franchise that that children could get something of higher quality in addition to facing ridicule while calling for it yet doing it anyway is something real men would do.
How are nintensnoys coping with the fact that this sold less than Arceus despite having 2 versions, on a MUCH larger install base, and boosted by the new console hype?
>>724368823You can argue that. It'd be embarrassing and wrong but you absolute can argue that.
>>724355845being the bundle game for switch 2's first holiday guarantees ZA will have long legs.
>>724352273>Biggest Physical sale since BoTW.
>>724365428No shit but nintendo still wants their shit to break records which this game did not. Fact is other than MKW and DK, there are no games for the switch 2. No this game isn't filler like everybody wants to think.
>>724354347Naw, best was with a different dev team. Same with the best prior to that with Gale of Darkness. GF are twats, but at least they are getting there. The game is fun.
>>724358116That's pretty grim honestly
>>724352509Like every other nitendo franchise the peak for pokemon was in the ds-3ds era.
>>724368803Nearly all scalpers, same with the trading card scammers
How much more to the story is there after you do the 3 rogue Mega evolution battles? I just got the promotion match against Canari and it's gotten pretty dull.
>>724352509even when I had pokemon sapphire as a kid, I don't think I ever really liked pokemon. never played anything beyond it other than some of pokemon colosseum. They're printing money by making the same thing over and over, its like a small step above sports games like fifa - same shit different shirt.
>>724352273it's a fun, cool game!
>>724352273>the game is so shitty all he can do is talk about revenue and sales figuresgrim
>>724368508you're even more pathetic for coming to a chinese basketweaving circle to complain of people with standards demanding a better game instead of playing it
>>724367548We hate our own kind
>>724354447the average Nintendo fans, especially Pokemon fans are in their 30's and they don't care about quality, only if X game has Nintendo seal on itSo Nintendo is in deep shit if they don't find new drones in the gen Alpha/Zoomers, so shitlennials need to groom them to join the cult
>>724375395>younger audiences apear to be addicted to free-to-play gamesbecause they're fucking broke and nintendos are just digital babysiters
>>724359952>who the fuck plays this garbage?transexuals, pedophiles, and man children
>>724354447>SURELY gamefreak sees all the outrage their games get nowadays, right?They do. Bring back national dex was mentioned at least a few times throughout all the leaks, and they also said future remakes must be given more love and care (basically admitting BDSP were shit)
>>724352273>sold less than ArceusIt already nerfed itself.
>>724352468Thanks, still not buying it.
>>724353787>>724354347It looks worse than X/Y which was on a smaller screen, on a much less powerful console, only half the price and released a decade ago
>>724356927Sold 8mil in the first week while also being on gamepass
>>724352273This has to be fake. I'm not anti pokemon but the game looks bland so far. What's so special about it? I can't see it. What's wrong with this world?
