Play Pokémon!
I will buy Pokemon again once they re-acknowledge the existence of boys and girls.
Yikes, imagine playing pokeman as an adult, just thinking about it gives me the icks.
>>738902707when they retcon transformers I’ll consider it
>>738902707Always
>>738902707I do. Just not official ones, and I don't buy them
>>738902707Wait a minute, is Blue not your rival in LGPE?
>are you a type A? or a type B?
>>738902707I do play Pokemon, just not the nuGen garbage
>>738902794man, it was disgusting how androgynous the MCs were in SV. they made the male look and move like such a faggot
>>738903179Stop pirating and start supporting Game Freak!
>>738903767Hey maybe if Beast of Reincarnation is good... I'll still pirate it hahaha!
>>738902707
Digimon TS is better.
I got a Shitch 2 and was going to buy the new games to finally catch up with the series but apparently they made them even easier and even went so far as to make it impossible to turn the exp share off. Why are they so actively hostile to the old fans? Anyways I guess I'll just emulate and use difficulty hacks.
>>738902707i was playing bdsp earlier todayi have started checking out a pokessentials game called gadir deluxeand i'm probably gonna get the switch 2 pokopia bundle and z-a>u are a goycattleyes>>738902794frankly if they have to bow to gender retardation "pick a portrait" is maybe one of the better ways to go about it
>>738902707Literally any other monster collecting game is better.
I have been playing Legends Arceus recently, and think it is honestly fantastic.Cautiously optimistic to play ZA, I dig Legends as an experimental side series.
>>738904470ZA was pure fucking garbage, legitimately worse than classic pokemon in every conceivable way and THAT is a feat.
>>738902707I always wait until they allow Home transfers so I can play with my mons (or their offsprings) from playthroughs of previous games
Play Pokemon Tectonic. Or better yet, wait for the upcoming pride flag patch on June 6!
>>738902794>I will buy Pokemon again once they re-acknowledge the existence of boys and girls.okay snowflake, nobody was forcing you to buy it in the first place
>>738904182kek
>>738902707I actually would if they released some of the old ds games on steam
The last Pokemon game I played was X from the X/Y generation. I was considering buying a Switch 2 soon, should I just play the latest one? What is it? Z-A? It looked kinda....bleh. Arceus looked weird as well cause of the open-world mechanic.
>>738903247I'm non-buynary.
>>738902707Nah I'd rather play Palworld
>>738905245NOOOO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONINTENDO!!! FBI!!!
>>738904575>legitimately worse than classic pokemon in every conceivable wayMan, you will have to elaborate on that.
>>738904821You transniggers always claim it's not a big deal, yet it was important enough to get rid of. You will die alone, unmourned and dickless you horrible excuse for a man
>>738904182I can not play Pokémon without XP sharing anymore, it just takes too much time.
>>738902707who the fuck is that dipshit on the right?
>>738905743global XP share is good imo because it encourages changing team members oftensure i could just grind them up the old fashioned way but i like being able to just seamlessly swap in a new pokemon into my party and keep going without a grind sesh
>>738905798eh they already solved that problem with the amount of XP candies you can get though. it's just overkill, and almost always results in me being way overleveled because I'll stick with my squad through the entire game.
>>738905107Scarlet/Violet with dlc has the best story of any switch game if you play pokemon for that, it also got a switch 2 upgrade so you can play in 60 fps. It has the most expansive pokedex to transfer into Champions if you're into pvpLA is a pretty cool standalone title where you can experience everything and actually catch the full pokedex without having to go online and trade for version exclusives. The battle and catching mechanics are very different from mainline games. The downside is that it doesn't have a switch 2 patch so it's still in 30 fps. ZA completely ditches the turn based system. The map is confined to just the Lumiose city for the entire game, but you get to walk on rooftops and there's quite a bit of verticality. Imo this game put the most amount of effort on letting you handle the pokemons like how the anime showed it. Release them from the pokeball whenever, mega evolve whenever, actually run around to dodge attacks, etc.
>>738905245TRVKE>>738903928>>738904429Also this
>>738905852i guess you're right that they're redundant systems to a degreei view the exp share as "pull in new members while running through the story" and the candies as being part of the post-game training where you do EV training and searching for IVs or whatever elsebut they do overlap so idk why they did it
>>738905743the compromise I've found myself happy with is that I'll play normally, but have a stash of cheated in rare candies for use once the level disparity between my team and the enemies hits around 10 levels or so, but I'll never bring my pokemon to the same level as the enemy because that makes the games too easy usually, especially in games with badge boosts.
>>738905798Yes, 100% this, it makes the game a lot more fun and dynamic.
>>738905635All you do in ZA is spam the strongest attack, status moves are useless.At least in classsic you can set up or whatever the fuck you want but in here all you ever need to do is attack.also no abilities.
>>738906043really all they have to do is re-add the toggle, I wouldn't even mind if the xp share defaulted to on, just lemme turn it off and tune my levels manually with the candies. just a bizarre move to remove the option entirely, but I guess they aren't worried about people like me when the games sell like they do.
single player endgame not fun enough to make me play
>>738905245i'd like palworld a lot more without the gay guns shit. base management is also a major pain
>>738902707I'm not a babby doebeit
>>738902707>Pokemon GO capture systemWhat the FUCK were they thinking?
>>738902707Still need a few gold symbols/prints in the Gen3/4 Battle facilities at some point. Will take a few more years.
>>738908958They were thinking that their drones will buy it anyway, and they were right
>>738904470>it is honestly fantastic.It's crap
Only if the devs let me fuck the pokemons
>>738904596Oh shit, they made a new medarot game?
