What is Pokémon's secret?
>>741083757Appealing to retards is a legitimate strategy. Make a cozy ten second loop and stretch it out for 200 hours.
To make good games.
>>741083757fun simple games where (You) immerse yourself into adventure
AutismLiterally
>>741083757It might actually just be autism.
>>741083757cute girls
>>741083757Contract with kyubey.But they can't stop making em.
fire red and leaf green are legendary games besides the fact that the music is less creepy than the originals
>>741083879>>741084035Making the same ""good"" game a dozen times to appeal to the same retards who bought the first one
>>741084974So making good games.
>>741083757I truly don't understand it. I really enjoyed the first pokemon game I played (Red), still enjoyed the second one I played (Gold) but it felt like a bit too much of the same, by the time I played a third one (Sapphire) I was completely bored of the doing the same shit over and over
>>741085013Don't you get tired of spending $60-120 to do the same thing over and over again every couple of years? Doesn't the novelty wear off?
>>741085237It's not the same thing though.
>>741085237people are just like thatshow play time faggot
>>741083757It's cute.
>>741083757It has a very large normie fanbase who aren't aware of shit like emulators and only have a passing interest in video games.
>>741083757A large millennial manchild fanbase that never grew up
>>741083757almost 30 years of relentless marketing
>>741085304Yeah let me just whip out my GB Color and GBA to take a pic of real quick...>>741085289It's about as much difference as the yearly sportsball games or CoDs where they change some of the players and add a new feature or two. The stories are always bad and the fights are always easy if you aren't a child, so the "fun" is just catching the same pokemon over and over again. They add some new ones but the gameplay remains entirely the same.
>>741083757As someone that got Pokemon Blue for Christmas in 1998, some adults are addicted to nostalgia because it "takes them back to a simpler time" and that's how they deal with their modern stress. They used to play Pokemon when mommy and daddy were fighting in the other room, so now it's their default way to retreat from reality and have fun. I get it since millennials are stuck in a permanent nostalgia loop since companies won't let us leave, but I don't understand how they can have such bad taste in gaming after 28 years.
>>741085535>it's about as much difference as [any other game series]Yes, not same at all.
>>741085289I stopped playing Pokemon after gen 2 on Gameboy, because even at a young age I realized it was the same thing over and over again. I cannot imagine thinking otherwise. Not even super Pokemonfags would argue differently, they know it's all the same and that's why they like it.I've come up with a laundry list of proactive changes to make to knock it out of the park, and I tend to see a pokefag get huffy and puffy SIMPLY BECAUSE they are changes, let that sink in. Take a step back and reflect.
>>741085842That's cool but i didn't ask for your retarded blog.
>>741085593Other game series (eg final fantasy) actually have interesting stories and characters that make them unique. Fire Emblem mostly exists for the gameplay loop but there's actually some challenge and tactics there whereas Pokemon is braindead easy.
>>741085936Post your tournament results then.
>>741084035This was a good game decades ago. This port is fucking dogshit. What kind of dipshit designs a game where pushing all face buttons for a nanosecond resets your entire game? They pander to shiny hunters and I hate them for it. Not once did they realize, "hey, maybe we should use some other button combination or make it take a full 1-2 seconds of being pressed to engage". All they did was clone start and select to x and y and call it a day. Fuck these lazy jap bastards.
>>741086070hi schizo
>>741086127How am I being a schizo, you fuck? If you press abxy for a split second, your game resets. Nothing I said was untrue and can easily be tested. They pander to shiny hunters because they are the whales of pokemon.
>>741086232yeah haha you make funny posts schizo, do one more!
>>741086368Why are you acting like what I'm saying isn't true? Anyone can easily test it themselves.
>>741085924>>741085992>>741086127>>741086368Single samefag defending this garbage series
>>741086446there it is!
>>741086070>What kind of dipshit designs a game where pushing all face buttons for a nanosecond resets your entire game?Never had that issue. Quit being fat
>>741086478I'm convinced they're bots. It happens every time I try to talk about the horrid game design that leads to accidental resets. Trannies are definitely mentally ill enough to create a pokemon defense bot.
>>741086584He's making it up. He's a known schizo who has been spamming that same fake story for months now.
>>741086584Stop acting like the switch buttons are hard to press all at the same time. Any normal sized adult thumb can do it. It's bad game design no matter how to look at it. Would it really fucking kill you to make it abLR? Let me guess, when you're resetting for shinies you need to bring in another finger to help press buttons because it's so hard to do? Or can you easily press them all with your thumb by design, dipshit?
>>741086584>>741086725>samefag replying to himself
>>741083757Having successfully groomed 90's and 2000's kids into obedient paypigsI don't see any other reason, you won't find a single good game made in the last 10 years from that series
>>741086858ShinyCHAD definitely stole your crush didn't he.
>schizo still doesn't get itProbably palkek spammer.
>>741083757>Kids get in from a young age >Chicks stick with the franchise cause it's cute>Dudes stick with the franchise because it's popular with girls>Collect 'em all autists will buy every version of the game they can if it'll help em complete their national dex in Pokemon Home
>>741087041Is IGN making it up too?
>>741087046I've never met a girl that was attractive and had good hygeine that was into pokemon, or any video game really. I'd prefer a girl who showers and doesn't know what video games are.
>>741087146Post 5 times IGN said someone accidentally soft reset their game schizo. Show the whole class the articles.
>>741086804>>741086939I found your hand. Lay off the mcdonalds, fatty
>>741084974Nigger people want more of the same thing all the time.Just because you're in an echo chamber of blithering retards doesn't make that suddenly not true.
>>741083757>What is Pokémon's secretBeing good.As much as kids want to complain about graphics and shit that doesn't matter pokemon has a solid core and offers more than any competitors.
>>741087319You're fucking stupid. Are you a qc for game freak or something? Anyone with more than 2 brain cells can rub them together and realize it's prone to accidental pressings. I'm sure you can find it on reddit but if I were to post that you'd start on some more bullshit. Literally nothing is good enough for you because you're a simp to pokemon.
>>741087368I'll never understand why these people want change for the sake of change.Just buy a different game, that's one of the reasons why it's so obvious that the only people who hate pokemon have only played pokemon
>>741087569No articles? Thought so schizo. Keep making it up.
>>741087331So when you're resetting for shinies, you need to bring in an extra finger to help you press all the buttons? It's literally designed to be able to be pressed by just the thumb. The fact no one at game freak saw any problem with this just goes to show how they pander to the shiny whales over normal consumers.
>>741083757>Before the 80's: FCC regulations prevent companies from advertising product lines through children's programs on radio, television, movies, etc. because getting them when they're young creates addiction/dependency/reliance/attachment/etc.>The 80's: Reagan overturns these regulations, leading to ninja turtles, he-man, gi joe, transformers, etc.>The 90's: Pokemon is created by Nintendo/Game Freak, with Pokemania sweeping the globe by advertising the product line through children's programs on radio, television, movies, etc.
>>741087569>Anyone with more than 2 brain cells can rub them together and realize it's prone to accidental pressings.So are you trying to say that not doing that is some kind of genius move?
>>741087730I'm saying designing the game in such a way is a stupid fucking retard move. ABLR would work just as well and lead to zero accidental resets.
>>741087569>Anyone with more than 2 brain cells can rub them together and realize it's prone to accidental pressings.Unfortunately you need three to realise that's a conscious choice and that it's impossible to do that without intending toUnless of course your thumbs look like this in which case you have worse problems.
>>741083757Pokefags buy anything, this isn't a flex
>>741087671My thumb is over the A and B button when I'm playing because you don't really use the Y and X button that much. You'd understand if you actually played the game instead of making up problems in your head and getting angry about it
>>741087838So would not pressing the face buttons all at once.
>>741087890>impossible to do that without intending to They made it easily pressed by one finger to pander to shiny hunters. Anything that can easily be pressed with one finger can easily be mistakenly pressed by one finger or dropping your controller or sitting on it. A soft reset should require, at minimum, two fingers to engage. That's how it's always worked because product design used to fucking matter.
>>741083757Shitllennials nostalgia + tendie autism
>>741087982What? X is your menu and y is your key object, you dumb fuck. They literally just cloned start and select to x and y. They absolutely do get used.
>>741087976They're worse than Sonicfags at this point
>>741088051>They made it easily pressed by one finger to pander to shiny hunters.No, that's just where they put the L and R buttons, they've been doing that way before this release and for more than just Pokemon.
Ni*toddlers have been word filtered lmao, they’re insanw
>>741088051>That's how it's always worked because product design used to fucking matter.So did player intellect but clearly you're just mashing like a baby.
>>741088232You don't get it man sometimes i just have to put the controller down to pick up my big mac and i might accidentally roll over it while getting up
>>741088112I said you don't use them much. Learn to read fatso
>>741085237>Don't you get tired of spending $60-120 to do the same thing over and over again every couple of years?Mental illness. Games should stick to formulas that work instead of pointlessly reinventing the wheel and killing their own franchises when the fans hate it.
>>741088142Excuse me, start and Select.Anyway the GB, GBC pokemon games they ported to 3ds did the same thing and no one complained then even though the buttons were even closer.
>>741088113Sonicgafs at least complain, and it looks like it's working well for themPokefags just swallow all the slop GF keeps serving them
>>741088412GF makes good games unlike Sonic games.
>>741085237>Don't you get tired of spending $60-120 to do the same thing over and over again every couple of yearsDon't you ever buy any other games? No wonder you're getting bored if you're just playing pokemon 24/7 365
>>741088412>Sonicgafs at least complainI've never seen them once complain about anything that matters. Just look at how they ate up Superstars and Frontiers and let's not talk about Crossworlds and all of it's dlc.
>>741088412>Sonicgafs at least complainAnd pokefags don't? most of the legends ZA seething came from actual pokemon fans. Also, sonicfags have been massive shills lately. They're celebrating spending $30 more dollars on more shitty collabs for their racing game
>>741088360Did it happen instantaneously or did it need to be held for a certain amount of time?
>>741088351I agree Nintendo should keep milking their fanbase try with minimal effort like thet have been, I'm not insulting the seller here. I'm insulting the consumers who keep buying the minimal effort sameshit year after year
>>741088412>Sonicgafs at least complainHAThey never complain, they're the battered wives of video games because they dont get anything. I mean, games are one thing but look at merch all they have for figures are those shitty Jakks Pacific ones
>>741088448>GF makes good gamesUsed to make decent games*
>>741088612>most of the legends ZA seething came from actual pokemon fansThey all still bought it and will also still buy the next turd that gets shat out
>>741088625It's always been instant. Have you never played a pokemon game before?
>>741088760You're wrong. There was a delay.
>>741088758What else are they going to buy? It's not like there's a monster tamer that can compete in what it offers.
>>741088815No there wasn't.
nostalgia bait
>>741088612Yet they still bought ZA anyways, they are not the same
>>741088815There wasn't. There's never been a delay.
>>741088821>What else are they going to buy?Is "nothing" not an option? A different genre of game? A non-kids game?
>>741085237Legends ZA is nothing like Pokopia which is nothing like Scarlet and Violet which is nothing like Arceus which is nothing like Sword and Shield which is nothing like New Pokémon Snap which is nothing Let's Go Pikachu.There's more variety within the Pokémon franchise than within every Snoy or Rockstar IP.
Pokefaggots are the worse gaming fanbase and its not even fucking close, literal paypigs that will buy anything slop in droves
>>741088874And all the sonic fans didn't buy Frontiers, SxSG and Crossworlds?
>>741088948Did any of those games cross 6 million, so no, meanwhile Pokefags are getting dohshit games like SwSh, SV and ZA last 15 million
>>741088946You sound REALLY upset.
>>741088904>Is "nothing" not an option?No you retard. Why would it be if they want a monster tamer to play? Same goes for wanting a different genre, are you trying to say that an FPS or action adventure game is a suitable replacement?>A non-kids game?A game that treats them even worse? Really?
>>741089019*past
>>741088874Will /v/ ever realize how retarded "you bought it anyway" is?>Yes you criticized the game but this other guy bought it so you support the game clearly>>741089019That just means Pokemon is a more popular franchise than Sonic is.
>>741083757Pokefags are retards, what else is new
>>741089057>are you trying to say that an FPS or action adventure gameI would simply play multiple different game genres so I'm not stuck playing dogshit game after dogshit game in one single genre, but I also have a 3 digit IQ.
>>741089019>Did any of those games cross 6 million, so noHold on a second, are you really going by sales numbers like that means anything?The sonic fanbase is incredibly small compared to pokemon. If you applied your own logic to pokemon then they didn't buy them either because no game after gen 1 sold 30m.
>>741085237Firered/Leafgreen were $20 you retard.
>>741088412>it looks like it's working well for themSure it is which is why sonicfags are in a middle of a drought on sonic's anniversary year. At least pokemon niggas got FRLG on switch and maybe RSE later this year while they wait for Wind and Waves
>>741089173Like?
>>741089173>I would simply play multiple different game genresThen you wouldn't hate pokemon would you.>but I also have a 3 digit IQUnfortunately it starts with two zeros.
>>741083757>What is Pokémon's secret?unironically low IQ fanbase
>>741085571The sinister thing is TPCI and GameFreak KNOW their games are safety blankets. They’re counting on the upset children playing Pokemon while their parents argued downstairs to be lifelong customers. Even better if they’re autistic and Pokemon becomes their special interest.
Pokefaggots are desperate to play a good game after 15 years of straight dog shit games
I bought it and all it did was make me miss the Hoenn games.
>>741083757
>>741087569>>741087838Are you STILL chimping out about this anon? it's been MONTHS. just don't smash your controller buttons like a neanderthal when you get excited. and if you're so lacking in self control that you can't even manage THAT, rebind your face buttons
It's fun to go into a new area and catch whatever mon looks cool, and comfy to grind for gyms
>>741088948But /v/ told me up and down that CrossWorlds flipped, so now we're changing that narrative?
>>741083757Nintardo numbers are made up
>>741089452Maybe once or twice
>>741085571>As someone that got Pokemon Blue for Christmas in 1998, some adults are addicted to nostalgia because it "takes them back to a simpler timeYeah that excuse doesn't work because there are hundreds of thousands of other properties that haven't seen the same success in the modern day as pokemon.>but I don't understand how they can have such bad taste in gaming after 28 years.If you really want to understand then your first task is to play more games than just Pokemon and understand them as games and not properties.
>>741089479>flippedkill phonefags
>>741089450Or maybe make your soft reset take more than one finger like every other product that includes soft resets, dipshit. This is a solved science. But it wouldn't be a jap game without there being some pants on head nonsense everyone has already found the solution to.
>>741089479Anon, those aren't mutually exclusive. A game can flop while still selling to every member of the fanbase if the fanba
>>741083757>it's never had a rerelease until now>original cartridges are expensive af>will be able to transfer them to later games easily>local wireless trading/battling>you can visit the mystery gift islands to catch Ho-oh, Lugia and Deoxys>shiny hunting It's a mystery
>>741089646Excuse me, I didn't realise auto post was on. Anyway, it's can be true if the fanbasr is small, like the sonic fanbase.
>>741089663>Whoa, is this pokemon indigo instead of purple?!?!>GOTYAY!
>>741083757We already know Pokemon fans buy anything Game Freak shits out, there's no secret
>>741089779You are the epitome of that leftist discourse image.
>>741084035This. It's really that simple. Fact is, Pokemon is objectively better than any anti's favorite game. They'll never understand they are a vocal minority that literally never have and never will matter, and that's why they spend all their time obsessively hating that games. Precious time they could spend doing better things, being happy with something they actually enjoy... they'd rather waste it all away crying about Pokemon, desperately hoping they can convince others to hate it too.It's honestly really sad.
>>741089479What narrative? Crossworlds flopped because only sonicfags bought it.
>>741083757Really good monster designs, simple to understand mechanics, being piss easy, and hitting in the right place at the right time so it has a ton of nostalgiafags that want to play their childhood again.
just give me ruby and sapphire already
>>741089620bro you've been crying about this for almost half a year, it's time to put on your big boy pants and solve your own problem rather than waiting for daddy pokemon company to do it for you. it's easy as shit, Settings -> Accessibility -> Button Mapping -> Rebind X as Select
>>741089663it's literally just nostalgia
>>741089663>>shiny huntingWhat is actually enjoyable about this
>>741090010If nostalgia worked like that then more than just Pokemon would be this successful.
>>741090061Thrill of the hunt.
>>741089978Hoping they release it within the next couple months. Also need them to hurry up with home supper for frlg. I wanna put my shiny deoxys in a different game.
>>741090080pokemon is one of the most famous ips in the world
>>741089842But it didn't flop
>>741089842I havent bought it yet but I'm planning to and it's only because megaman is in it.
>>741083757This isn't a secret Fucking Kek, who cares that Poketards bought a rom
>>741090121Exactly, nothing before or after comes close so nostalgia isn't a factor.
>4 million gba roms for $20 a popThis is why Nintendo has such a hard on for suing pirates and killing emulation
>>741083757Retarded fanboys who treat pokemon like religion
>>>/vp/
>>741090492It's because they're legally obligated to take down sites that profit off of their IP.
>>741083757I think Pokemon would be even more popular if it wasn't primarily a combat-focused RPG but the problem is that format has become the mainline series and the spin-offs, while often better games, just naturally get less attention.
>>741090124>But it didn't flopSEGA said it underperformed back in November and had only sold 1m and that they'd hope it'd reach 2million by the end of the financial year.Then they left it out of their end of financial year reports. Its flopped so bad they avoided even mentioning it.
>>741085289Yea and FIFA games "arent the same" either, right?
>>741090892I didn't know fifa changed settings from generic football pitch and used characters other than [famous footballer]
>>741090892I never played those but NHL games were different.
>drift away from mainline games and into the spin-offs like Mystery Dungeon, Ranger, the Orre games and some others>tfw they stop making thoseRescue Team Dx came out 6 years ago and there's been nothing since. No new entry or remakes for EoS or GTI.But here's another shitty low quality mainline entry with expensive DLC because we don't make free postgames anymore.
>>741091376>expensive DLCNigga, the dlcs they've made so far add more than third versions and also cost less.
>>741090969LMAO what settings are changed in nupokemon? You have a new gimmick that gets dropped every gen and... thats it. Any and all major innovation happened gens ago.
>>741091376Because the third party games fucking shit in the mainline every single time, and they get embarassed
>>741089841>Fact is, Pokemon is objectively better than any anti's favorite gameIt's insane there are "people" who talk like this and aren't getting their shit kicked in on a daily basis until they learn to be normal
>>741091936>what settings are changed in nupokemonLiterally every generation occurs in different location with different characters and different monsters.Go ahead any try to argue how that's the same as generic pitch.
>>741091376Everyone knows that Pokemon is at its best when it's not done by GFThey don't want that, they don't want other companies to humiliate themStill happened recently with Pokopia tho
>>741092029It's almost like they are normal while you, who only ever played pokemon, are not.
>>741083757A fanbase of manchildren who can't get over the past.
>>741087653>I'll never understand why these people want change for the sake of change.Good, it's an antisemitic rabbit hole.
>>741091376Funny that you bring up Mystery Dungeon, because I've been revisiting those games. Genuinely fun and addictive.
>>741092103They'll never understand that it's their own over exposure to pokemon that causes them to hate it.
The art style and orchestral soudtrack is amazing, the game is awesome.
>>741090002That implies I'm still playing this trash and not just shitting on game freak and their simps for being retards.
>>741083757Getting morons to double dip on games so they can trade monsters to themselves.
is there a better interruptible game? as in i can stop at any time and not have to worry about pausing or saving or getting fucked over by some shit.
New generations of kids replacing the old ones on a regular basis.
>>741094671Any turn based game
>>741089823Because shinies are fucking stupid yet they seem to get the most attention from game freak. Even just thinking about it, how is their inclusion not considered anti-consumer. They are only included to get autists addicted to their game. Shiny hunters are the most stalwart defenders of game freaks retarded designs. It adds literally nothing to the gameplay for shinies to exist other than to get people addicted to hunting them. You fags don't even realize how you've been tricked into playing a game series that has been mediocre for over 20 years.
>don't get the exp share unless you register 50 pokemon into your pokedex>don't get a lucky egg unless you farm the safari zone for a chansey, a 4% encounter, with a roughly 5% catch rate, with a 5% chance to be holding the eggWow thanks man!
>>741094252You should have spent these last few months at the gym instead of blaming others. You're the only retard having this issue of pressing all of the four buttons at once by "accident"
>>741094252>"problem" that can be easily solved by going into the settingsyou realize the only people who look like retards here are the ones complaining about a problem they can fix themselves in 5 seconds right? like do you cry to game freak that the volume on your TV is too high and you want them to turn it down for you?
>>741087682I always find it funny how culture and media declines each time a republican gets into office and the democrats do fuck all to reverse it.
>>741094916I'm literally not as the internet proves if you do a quick and easy google. You act like I've been doing nothing but sitting here complaining about it and not just shitting on you whenever I come across one of your shit threads.>>741094920Because the only reason you'd know about it is if you've already lost progress. At that point, it's too fucking late. I'm not going to change my buttons every time I want to play this one specific game and change them back every time I want to play something different. It's retarded and could just as easily have been solved by making it AB+LR. But no, just keep simping for retarded design decisions because you can't take game freaks cock out of your mouth.
>>741094937Democrats think “fixing” media means making it gayer and more diverse. Look how well that worked out for Star Wars, Star Trek, and Doctor Who.
>>741095131>fat anon is too lazy to change controller inputslol lmao
>>741095424He's trolling. He doesn't even own a Switch 2.
>>741083757Having a retarded fanbase that doesn't know how to emulate.
>>741095132Stars wars is pure shit because it's litteral fanfiction copy pasting the same fucking story without a care in the world, like the billions of fan fiction out there, and don't pretend you read a single one of them (they are all shit)
>>741083757151 rpg classes
>>741095450I'm fully aware he's full of shit but that's not going to stop me from calling him fat
>>741083757Retards. It's secret is retards.
>>741090313>Retards will buy it if anything with the pokemon logo is on it>Retards couldn't just compile all the languages into one game but no they're separateWhat year do they genuinely think they're in? roms had been doing this since years but they couldn't make a language setting for both games?
Everyone grew up with pokemonWe will forever have nostalgic attachment
>>741083757Kanto playthrough is better than 95% of modern games
>>741083757Gatcha just works.
>>741094937>left-rightroonbrain thinks only one side is harmful to society and popular media
>>741083757/v/ might be too jaded to get it but Pokemon is one of the easiest games to get into as a kid or a person that doesn't care much for jrpgs. That alone can take you far.To this add how well Nintendo and TPCi did to make sure even beyond the games the name Pokemon would be known and well liked and of course they would manage to keep the commercial success despite anything.
>>741095772>it is secret is retards
>>741089663>will be able to transfer them to later games easilyActually there's no support for Pokemon Home, we don't know if TPC will ever add it down the line. Very different than when they did the GB/GBC games for 3DS, those advertised Home compatibility from the get-go.
>>741091376>tfw they stop making thoseWhat do you mean, Legends Z-A just came out last year and Pokopia is getting a bunch of DLC this year. Or do those not count as "real" spin-off titles?
>>741097946>Actually there's no support for Pokemon Home, we don't know if TPC will ever add it down the lineThey literally confirmed it during the pokemon direct
>>741098043Legends aren't spin-offs according to GF themselves and Pokopia is the only one we've had in 6 years, but it really appeals more to the Animal Crossing type demographic.
