Even the MC designs are soulless.
I don't want to hear about "soul" from a franchise whos mascot is a fat yellow rat and an obese orange dragon.
"MC"s stopped being designed as protagonists in gen 6 and have been designed as npcs since gen 7
Hypnosis with Gardevoir.
you'll still see endless porn for the femc. look how much gloria/juliana get despite having the most bland, nothing designs of all time
>>750887119Pokemon Brap and Piss.
>>750887330gloria was the best femc since gen 5
>>750887119they gave up with the MC designs after gen 6 because they realized people are just gonna customize them anyway
>>750887119have been for yearsthe last decent looking protags were in XY for female and BW2 for maleNot counting PLA since that was just BPP againLook at this dogshit
>>750887581I did like the ZA protags and I think the wind waves ones are okay but the full bodysuit is insanely retarded
>>750887779Whats the chance of bikinis ingame for the MCs? Probably zero, huh?
>>750887119at least there's shorts
>>750887581BW feMC has the greatest pokemon design
WAVE-CHAN IS VERY CUTE!
>>750887883In the negatives. you're insane if you think they're going to show skin but hopefully I'm wrong. I would be surprised if female NPC swimmers showed any skin
>>750887412no. at least chicken chan's outfit was visually interesting
>>750887581what's wrong with Gloria?
>>750888141generic as fuck
>we're never getting girl MCs as good and iconic as Serena, Hilda and Dawn ever again, only generic customizable slop
>>750887581I'm not a fan of the main character sharing outfits or uniforms with their gender swapped variant or other NPC's.Akari would be better like this if she had a skirt similar to dawn.Similar if Juliana's uniform wasn't essentially gender neutral. There's less personality in what they wear.
I FUCKING LOVE PLAIN GIRLS WITH BOBCUTS
>>750888217but Leaf and Dawn who are similar aren't generic?
>>750888141shes britishalso the hat looks dumb, the weird sweater looks dumb and her bag is dumbshe looks better in the gym/dojo outfits
>>750888605>shes britishGET>also the hat looks dumb, the weird sweater looks dumb and her bag is dumbTAE>she looks better in the gym/dojo outfitsFUCK
>>750888605Mate, she's scottish
>>750888529Dawn is a straight improvement to Leafand leaf doesn't look that good in the first place, she was much better as green (blue) in the red remakes
>>750887581Chicken-chan is greatSS girl is fineWW girl is cuteSV is the worst in the series by far, but the rest are fine enough
>>750887119Winds and Waves?MORE LIKE FARTS AND SHARTS
>>750888784checkmate britbongs
>>750888968You call people British when you can't make the distinction.Otherwise it's like me calling all Americans a Yank.
>>750888853literally proving the pointNo one gives a shit about Selene outside of the hat.you never see shit with her USUM design because no one cares if she's not wearing the retard hat
>>750889075i call em bri'ish when they got silly accentsnot like she ever talks in the game anyway and she not deformed enough to tell otherwise
>>750889149>people like the iconic part of an iconic characterwew lad
>>750887119>>750887581Investors saw how much porn they made and nintendo said to make them less sexy so people will stop drawing porn of them. it kinda worked; the series trainers poularity peaked at sword and shield and you don't see much smut of the newer trainers
>>750887581Literally all these are good hating Gloria is just being peak contrarian fag
Other than character designs they really need a set of villains that are actually villainous again. Recent ones have been pathetic or no actual threat.If the current theme is "conservation" then these people need to do what magma/aqua failed at and completely firebomb an island for some vain or propheteering purpose.
>>750889771Can't have mass death in a kids game.
>>750889771My wife Lana is very sexy
>>750889075People think America is one homogeneous town in what do you expect
>>750889612what are you on about?Nemona and Iono were massively popular and got tons of pornI haven't played ZA but theres tons of porn too from the Iono ripoff especially
>>750889829>cockfighting is ok>peril isn'tYou can have atrocities in these games to good effect but they just have to commit to the part. Environmental disaster can be a threat thats fought and averted without killing off people. They need to accurately convey that threat.
>>750889771Now her mom in those exact clothes
>>750887119Works on my machine
>>750887119I only care about the shota porn, OP.
>>750889771>>750890158best pokegirl
>>750890559she's perfect and GF will never top her
>>750887119I don't want to play a game set in fucking Indonesia or Bangladesh or whatever hovel these ones are meant to be in. Hawaii was bad enough.
>>750889771nope, it'll just be a pack of harmless punks again.
The primary issue with the protagonists is the unironic troon shit they keep forcing, that being that even though the character is a girl, looks like a girl, walks like a girl, is reffered as a SHE, the fashion still suffers, this is especially true in ZA because every single clothing has to fit both male and female.I imagine wave will do the same shit, and that severely cuts down on fashion options, doesn't help that there's no dresses or skirts either, just disgusting skort shit.
>>750889982Don't forget mommy Briar
>>750888960I saw your pic and for a second I was excited for a good joke
>>750890926Do you really want big titties girls wearing short shorts like hilda again?
>THE WIND IS PUSHING MEEEEEEEEE INTO THE CLOUDS AGAIN, I FEEL THE BLOOD IN MY VEINS>TIME IS RUNNING FREE, I FEEL LIKE LETTING GO, JUST LIKE THE DANGAN>THE WAVE IS PUSHING MEEEEEEEEE INTO THE CURRENT AGAIN, I FEEL THE BLOOD IN MY VEINS>TIME IS RUNNING FREE, I FEEL LIKE LETTING GO, NOTHING TO SLOW ME DOWN
>>750887253no they've been designed as customizable avatars
>>750891858I actually underappreciate how customisable the gen 6 protags were and wish they'd allow full mix and match outfits and hair
>>750888605oh yeah, well I think YOU'RE dumb
What's the point of having an open world without level scaling? Scarlet/Violet was such a shitshow, I can't imagine they've learned anything from it.Pokémon spawning in MMO mobs is soulless, as are the gacha raids, as are Mega/Temp Evolutions. Pokémon is soulless. Not paying $200 for this crap.
>>750891232Yes
Sweaty wetsuits...
Femc is redeemable actually
>>750887119Game Fags can't do anything but androgynous blobs
>>750890559cute tummy
>>750887581unnamed is a dumb name for a protagonist
i love my wife lana
>>750893401>>750894923fuck
>>750896345How is her simple design so appealing?
I hate how I wanted a special edition switch 2 for this release but resellniggers will ruin that for me. Oh well.
>>750892756She's 15 anon
>>750896545Peak
>>750887119>Give the foid some full body skinsuit so pedos can't goon to her.>Pedos find it hot and goon to her even more.
>>750897615Life finds a way
>>750887581ZA trainers got some mad drip.
>>750887779>Not liking full body suits.
I like the boy. He's cute
>>750887581>Wendy>Waverlydont care what off names are thats what im calling them.
Can we all agree Hilda is still peak?
>>750898003I like her 2d spriteBut otherwise rosa is superior
>>750897860true
>>750897860godddd i love crossdressing pokeboys
>>750888853I've lost gallons to Selene.
>>750898082Rosa is cute but dresses like a toddler
>>750887119burka kidsshouldn't had fapped to Hilda that much
>>750898339I'm a zoomer and I hit puberty thanks to Hilda
>>750887506WTDT
>>750887119boy not cute enough
>>750898331Hilda was so sexy, she never appeared in he anime and GF refuses to make new art of her.
>>750898331Rosa leggings are sexy
>>750898331makes sense japanese are obsessed with making women look infantile
>>750898709Women are basically overgrown children to begin with, it's the west that tries to sell the lie that they are of equal maturity to men
>>750898331And thats supposed to be a bad thing?
>>750887412True
>>750898643I'll never forgive those gooks>>750898657True, I'll give her that>>750898709>>750899126Women were sexually selected for neoteny. Their main role is to be with kids thus they need to be more like them. Still, in Asia this is far more apparent then with other races for whatever reason.>>750899330It just doesn't fit a teen design
That's because from gen 7 onward they are more like blank slates so you can customize them
>>750887119I disagree
>>750887581I really like Akari and Rei's outfit, frankly.
>>750889771They apparently decided only Legends Villains are allowed to be irredeemably evil.
>>750892682>What's the point of having an open world without level scaling? Do you know how a "Rpg" works,anon?
Wich version will you guys be picking up?KFC or Walmart waggie?
>>750893401>>750894923>Mid game you start doing gantz missions
>>750900123Great artist
>>750899126This is homosexual cope. Men don't tend to want to fuck kids and by equating women to kids, homosexuals like yourself justify their homosexuality in a very self-destructive way to consciously claim to not fuck women.
>>750900848Internet rotted your brain
>>750900848Yeah so true man, just don't look at thousands of years of biology and evolutionYou are mentally and spiritually raped by propaganda it's funny
It's hilarious people still get excited for these dogshit games, Game Freak is the worst dev studio on the planet kek
>>750901206no one cares about the game why do you think /vp/ is just coom threads
>>750901084And thousands of years of biology and evolution have men not wanting to fuck kids. >Hurr durr here's some outlier story of Muhammed taking a 9 year old as a wifeThat has never been the norm.
>>750901816Who mentioned kids?
>>750901816I have not once eluded to saying you should fuck kids, you are fighting ghosts>That has never been the norm.What has been the norm is teens, especially postpubescent ones. I live in a normal civilization so even a 17 year old is fair game, though of course I can understand not being for that if simply for that fact of how society is not currently set up to accommodate that.
>>750901816Bruh, people used to marry young, if only because you were much more likely to die to a random plague or famine in your 30s.
>>750900670>>750900123the boobs in both of these are way too lowwhat is this anatomy?The ribs in the first one are also completely in the wrong place, its like her whole body was stretched out
>>750887119since gen 6 the designs have been less focused on iconography because you customize them all to your liking
>>750902970Not kids, teens, sure, but not kids. 15 was the norm, not 9.
>>750905503So about the age Rosa is?
>>750887119And yet, despite this, the artists will still draw the female one being subjected to the most degenerate, hardcore fantasies the human mind can muster.
Pokemon artstyle has been soulless since XY. Sugimori lost all the sauce in what made his art unique.
>>750887779I don't get why people say this. Most of the region is water. Suits like that are optimal for sea-based exploration.
>>750905803Obviously they should be nopan to get a good tan
>>750905920I don't typically wear underwear when I put on swim stuff. I can only assume they aren't wearing underwear under the suit.
>>750889771This is their opportunity to run ecoterrorism again. Let's see if they manage it.
>>750887253Came here to post this
ITT: Pinpointing the exact time frame in which everyone complaining about designs realized that they got old enough to not be the target audience anymore.
>>750897860This artist makes me want to fuck gay boys
>>750887119My niche fetish is clothes over skintight bodysuits so I'm actually quite happy about this.
What's the difference between this game and literally every single other 3D Pokemon?
>>750904074>its like her whole body was stretched outYeah that's how he draws them, very thin and very tall. Not for everyone of course.
>>750906518The pokemon target audience is like 30+ year old males though
>>750887119Looks fine to me, hope there are more clothing options than SV
>>750907060>he
>>750906993Switch 2 exclusive
>>750887119looks like generic pokemon trainer designs that have existed for decades now. maybe the series was always soulless.
>>750887119Cowboy hat or walmart hat. What a choice
>>750887347brap is super effective
>>750907081This is a thought process maintained exclusively by 30+ year old pokemon fans. I'm not saying you can't still like it, but getting older doesn't mean the thing you liked as a kid got worse.
>>750907994If you cannot tell the objective quality difference between old and new gen Pokémon even from a more neutral standpoint than you simply have zero discerning taste in the first place (that or you are just being disingenuous)
>>750888853wait a minute..
>>750909902Pokemon? Recycling the same trash over and over again? No way!
>>750887883Switch 2 is already easy to emulate, so just get a mod
>>750887253Calem and Serena were the gold standard for MCs. Why do they look like annoying little zoomers now?
>>750887119Off topic thread >>>/vp/
>>750907732It became soulless, as much as that is an actual thing, when the devs stopped caring about it in any way other than a money printing machine.You can argue on when exactly that happened, but it's obvious that at this point GF would rather develop other things, but nothing else they do sells.
