>Pokemon creators at the '90s: Telling Americans to fuck off when they demanded Pokemon to be fully Americanized
>Pokemon creators now: Fully Americanizing their games
What went wrong?

I bet you the ugly designs in newer games wouldn't exist if it wasn't for murrica. You assholes are poisoning everything with your woke bs
>>
>>56063047
Pokemon isn't really anything anymore. It's not Japanese, it's not American, it's just globalized sludge.
>>
>>56063047
>thing
>Japanese thing
>>
>>56063047
Japan itself has been fully Americanized
>>
>>56063047
When you're an international company and over 50% of your assets and income are overseas then yeah you're going to change your franchise up.
I can say the same thing though, why the FUCK did we get two Japanese themed DLCs in Western themed regions
>>
>>56063047
Pokemon has been fully international friendly since around Gen 3. It was clear the moment TPCi was founded
>>

>Fully Americanizing their games
Show me a big tiddy Pikachu in official Pokemon media and I will believe you.
>>
>>56063129
Pokemon games kept being anime-style till Sword/Shield, even when games were taking place in regions inspired by Western countries. Just like Black/White that despite having black characters they were nice looking.
>>
>games go international for regional basis
>they're all just a Japanese tourist's impression of foreign countries and Japanocentric ideals
Yeah, whatever cocksmoker.
>>
>>56063134
It's already mentioned at official translated interviews.
>>
>>56063138
Anime is not a single art style.
>>
>>56063047
Pokemon GO is to blame, because it caused the Pokemon boom to reignite for America and THEN created booms all across the fucking globe. If you had a mobile device, you were able to get in on the action, and that was more than enough to completely shift Pokemon's priorities as a whole.
>>
>>56063145
Yes and how it got nixed. Like I said, show me the actual approved big tiddy Pikachu and I will believe that they fully americanized it.

Your lost, faggot.

Pokemon franchise became instant hit in USA at gen 1 despite being "too Japanese". It even popularized anime in a country that was always snobbish with anime. Of course the huge marketing also helped to make it more marketable to American kids but still it became a hit.
>>
>>56063151
I blame Pokemon GO but for different reason: For making Pokemon Company realizing that they can print money even with trash.

You had you

>Solo, Casper, Disrok
Still the best Chicago Graffiti writers while pokemon added Boobs with Nidoqueen, Miltank and Purugly like Americans wanted.
>>
>>56063047
Pokemon was always a bottom bitch to Americans and the plushie femoids in Japan.
>>
>>56063138
Anime is a vast medium with widly different art styles, and Pokemon has always copied the most popular style of the time.
>>
>>56063192
Right two looks awesome
Left looks like a shitty Newgrounds oc
Middle is a FotM "baked" Fortnite meme
>>
>>56063224
Μake your own video games, you stupid Americans.
>>
>>56063047
Even if they sucked USA dick, GF would have produced ugly or overdesigned slop like their old pal Gaijin Turner was responsible for.

>Go to an Asian cuisine restaurant
>Demanding from the restaurant to replace the whole menu with burgers
That's how you American imperialist pigs sound when you defend crap like that

>>56063334
Still more charm than your average ESG'd development team
>>
>>56063324
>cancelled
A shame.
>>
>>56063324
I don't see any Pikachus or even any big tiddies in this, but there are some different-colored Dragonites. The 90s NOA localization team would've called this too cute and added big tiddies.
>>
gen 5 was the murica region so we can start there obviously
>>
>>56063112
huh, almost as if Japan is better on merit and has an actual cultural identity and values to have pride in
westerners (european derived countries primarily) worship brown skinned people and homosexuality
>>
>>56063047
Globalisation. The bigger and more successful a franchise becomes, the more homogenised it becomes.
>>
>>56064105
>the more western a franchise becomes, the more homosexual it becomes
>>
>>56063870
Nintendo of America would not have added tits, considering they were notorious for censoring tits but ok
>>
>>56063999
Seek help
>>
>>56063124
