It's over.
>>56933406Tranny generation
>>56933406>Japan when it comes to anything Pokemon
>>56933406It's over bros, there's no reason for GF to try anymore. This is all the proof TPC needs that Pokemon games can be shit and still profit enough to buy 10 yachts every hour.
>>56933415*when it comes to anything
>>56933406>>56933415not that i had any hope for them to improve anyway, but that's genuinely sad
Japan has fallen. It’s over, billions must buy. In other news America, we are so back! Fuck em’
>>56933406Thank god. They don't have to feel threatened about the direction the series is going and give us another dark age the level of SM/SWSH had because of Yokai flop.Take away the performance issues in SV and you have a good game. Take away the performance issues of any of the Gen 7/8 ones and they're just as shit.
>>56933406Extremely based news
>>56933425if gen 9 is ass because they didnt have enough time to make it good, then gen 10 will be shit because they know they can get away with not making it good
>>56933406
I wouldn’t go to japan if they paid me. Send in Johnny Somali.
That's fine but legends is still the best pokemon game of all time
>>56933440there's almost nothing good in SV, even without the glitches it's an empty mess, i can save the story but the pacing isn't that great either
>>56933425Still mad SV is dogshit in the technical aspect but top tier in everything else?
>>56933406Faggot troon shovelware. Legends was dogshit too
the power of open world instead of linear hallway slop with no gameplay
>>56933459whats everything else?
>>56933438Owari da
>>56933415Somehow this criticism rings hollow with all the action figures in the background... suicide by words.
>>56933415/thread
>>56933406It's because of OPEN WORLD isn't it? Normies and retards eat up any slop advertised as OPEN WORLD. Fuck OPEN WORLD shit ruined gaming forever
>>56933481Even if you aren't necessarily a fan of open world it was still a big appeal of SV, the series needed a shake up to the formula.
>>56933406>the reason why gen 10 is taking so long is because GF learned that quality sellsBased SV single-handedly saving the series.
>>56933459Ironically it's the opposite. I can forgive dogshit coding and optimization but ugly girls and mons are unforgivable.
>>56933467Characters, story, dex, lore..
>>56933481>Fuck OPEN WORLD shit ruined gaming foreverIt's novel in Scarlet and Violet because you can play the entire story with friends shut the fuck up.Anything is better than another gen of hallway corridor loading screens. Alola and Galar were a stain on the series' map design.
>>56933489If anything this teaches them that the fanvase will buy anything even an Open World game held together with duct tape and paper clips.
>>56933496>Characters, story, dex, lore..so like every other game story-aside then?what about the actual game?
>>56933528*fanbase
>>56933406Well deserved. Kino storyline that mindbroke western schizos.
>>56933530>SV dex, CHARACTERS and the fucking LORE is "like every other game"My fucking sides, anti-SVschizos are beyond salvation
>>56933528But enough about plass
>>56933406>sadNo it's GLAD NEWS
>>56933406Sick, well deserved. Even despite the low-quality visuals and performance SV is an excellent game and reignited my love for the franchise.
>>56933553>dexShame shitty bloated dex we've had since B2W2. Like, I don't want another DP or to way lesser extent Gen 1, but 200-250 side Pokedexes work better overall. I guess given there's over 1000 Pokemon you can't really do that, especially in a post-Dexit world, but it's not objectively a good thing.>charactersOutside of the main three they're barely written better, designs are just okay at best and the generic NPCs at worst (which is to say quite bad), in-game artstyle does them no favor.>loreLots of Pokemon games have way more interesting lore, it's almost always something you have to go out of your way for instead of huge chunks of it being dumped on you during the main story.The writing is actually good, but that's mostly due to the low standards Pokemon has. Still a genuine point in the game's favor. Shame the gameplay is fundamentally broken because the progression through the game and the leveling system are completely at odds, not to mention the map and encounter designs aren't worth the decisions they made. Grinding for dumb shit is rarely fun, and when the only non-grind content is online and raids that's not a great look (I'm sure there's more in the DLC but for a 90 dollar game there fucking better be, right?). Still way better than SS being a bad JRPG for no real explicable reason, at least I can blame a fundamental game design thing for SV's problem, and if you use a guide you can have an okay progression through the game as an option.
>This game was a barely functional product>But it's OPEN WORLD POKEMON!This franchise is too powerful.
>>56933630>Hasn't played the DLC Boy did you fucking miss out
>>56933413But enough about your generation
>>56933406>SV is the best selling pkmn game in japanSWSH always in second place
>>56933406Hopefully is beats gen 8 in sales overall, I think it has less than a million to go. The game may have been crusty but man I haven't had as much fun with a new gen since 4.
>>56933459It's the opposite. Fix the glitches and the game gets worse.
>>56933459>hollow cardboard cutout towns with no interiors >ugly and grotesque troon character designs>shitty dex that looks like it was AI generated>ugly region that looks like it was made out of legos; no puzzles or anything to interact with in the overworld, just loot piles and pokemon >return of breakable tms just to shoehorn a shitty crafting mechanic or else the hideous maps would be even more empty>still no option to skip the cutscene and tutorial spam>removed the option to turn off animations>raids are even buggier and laggier than they were in swshit>no battle facility of any kind >removed the option to turn off exp share>removed the option to enable set mode>botched customization >still dexcut and movecut>removed shiny overworld indicators from pla >gym leaders and elite are all pathetic unless you tackle them out of order which just makes the shit you skip even easier >faggy and ugly bike legends that feel like shit to traverse onit’s one of the worst games in the series
>>56933406Guess the saying is true when it comes to shit taste over there.
>>56933406Good. SV deserved it. Kino game.
>>56933495Fix your shit taste.
>>56933473Thats the point, its a skit parodying nerds who cant control themselves.
>>56933415then why were sales never higher than rgby retard
>>56933425that was XY and SwSh, not SV
>>56933489I really just hope that they at least keep the same quality of writing, if they do that and while improving performance, graphics and environmental design then gen 10 will be a good fucking game
>>56933415True
>>56933415>Japan when it comes to anythingfixed
>>56933415>>56933406based
>>56933893>troon charachter Everything you said is discarded just for this back to /pol/ where you belong cuck
>>56934186Arrest /pol/cuck
>>56933630>didn't play the DLC>proceeds to doomfagfuck off retard
>>56933459Yeah if we don't care about gameplay at all, the SV sure does shoot up
>>56934198Retard
>>56934057....but there aren't just like 9 buildings of any worth
>>56933455Really the graphics and performance are the main issue. BotW's map had fuck all of interest to find too, but it worked because the world was pretty and climbing and gliding felt good.
>>56933425>there's no reason for GF to try anymore.Not like they ever tried to begin with LOL
>>56934273What are the GBA games in this? I only recognize the Zelda ones.
>>56933406As it should be>>56933413rent free, faggot>>56933438Japan is more based than orange man bad, Chud!
>>56933630Play the DLC anon Pirate it btw, fuck nintendo
>>56934273???
>>56934331>These graphics grim
>>56934331Looks like ass
>SV is good because the humans have good personalitiesHas anyone told these people about Visual novels? If you just want to have conversations with human characters and want to play Pokemon for the least amount of time possible, games without pokemon exist?
>>56933406>Good newsFTFY, OP is a faggot.
kek what they really just consoom they complained the artstyle evn they bought it fuck that dogshit pedo country
>>56934465Visual novels aren't fun and also don't take place in the Pokémon world. Plus, you still play Pokémon for >80% of your playtime.Have YOU ever heard of a JRPG?
>>56933454Legends flopped dude, did worse than BW.
the spnish region outsold every japanese region ahahahahahah
>>56934549>spanishwhere?
>>56934517>20 ricels complained about muh graphics>that suddenly means that the entire populace of Japan had this opinionRetards like you shouldn't be allowed on the internet
>>56933425You said the same thing after SwSh and SV improved on it in every way
go woke go sucess
>>56934526You don't play pokemon in SV I pirated Scarlet a week before launch, I remember what I experienced.>Have you ever heard of a JRPGYeah, those things with like level design and things to do that aren't just an empty plane with 20 isolated fights? Yeah I've headd of them.
very sad because next games are not outselling it
>>56933406>A franchise I like is successful and now I am angry!You people are insufferable.
>>56933406Based. Gen 9 was fun.
>>56934608How is there no level design or things to do? You go to the area where the levels are appropriate for your team. You have 3 different quests where the games tell you where to go first to start. And if you're a lost little retard you can ask at every Pokémon center where to go next.How the fuck did you get filtered this hard by baby's first open world game?
>>56933406the only people angry about that are gen8fags (aka galarvaes and placucks)
>>56934701Nah, Gen 9 only did as well as it did because its sales were buoyed by good will from SwSh, the best games in the franchise (like how Gen 6's sales were hurt by Gen 5 being so bad it almost killed the franchise). Makes me feel smug, GalarGODS stay winning.
>>56934696>What do you mean there is nothing to do>The skinner box litteral spins the instructions on a label for you
>>56934720>galarva is having a "x-xy just sold well because of bw" moment KEK!
>>56934701Can you explain how Gen 8 is different from 1-7. Gen 9 is the only one that is completely diffrent by being literally (metaphorically) a procedurally generated plane.
>>56934725>muh skinner boxYou have no clue what you're talking about. SV has the same goals as every other Pokemon game. Beat the league, do some story, stop a bad guy. But now it's not a hallway anymore and suddenly you don't know what to do?
>>56933406Troon generation
>>56934737But that wasn't what I said? I said XY sold worse than it would have because BW soured the public view on Pokemon by being so fucking bad. And even then they did well enough to save the franchise and give us the Pokemon Renaissance, culminating in SwSh, the best games in the series.
im more surprised sv outsold swsh in japan Usually the first games gen always sells more
>>56934758No because Super Mario 3d world and Super Mario Odyssey are both games and not skinner boxes. This is because Super Mario Odyssey. If you took everything in the hallways in the previous 8 gens and left 18 trainers and 5 titans in each you would have an actual analogy.
>>5693480518 trainers?? What are you talking about man, SV has well over 300 trainer battles
>Switch instalment is simultaneously worst game in franchise and highest sellingMany such cases.
>>56935112People need to remember the Switch is literally the Wii 2.0 when it comes to making games sell like hot cakes. The WiiU creating a drought and the 3DS not being popular initially both played a huge part in how rapidly the Switch amassed an install base. And then COVID hit for good measure, so the Switch got even more buyers since it was the only damn console on the market that wasn't being scalped and marked up at the time. And LASTLY, Pokemon was in a resurgence on a literal global scale thanks to GO, so naturally those who were consoomer enough to buy a Switch for it would buy right into the "big" games like SWSH and SV.Switch era sales owe their sheer numbers to the unique circumstances, nothing more.
>>56935112>SV>3d world>Echoes of wisdom>3 shitty empty mario party titlesyeah the switch was a mistake
>>56933473It's from a skit, retard.
>>56934776Swoosh was just that shitty.
>>56933406SAY IT AIN'T SO!
>>56933459>top tierThe plot is just Harry Potter with extra time travel and minus voldemort
>>56935418What the fuck are you talking about lmfao
>>56935418you didn't play the games
>put unova shit everywhere>outsells red and greenOH NO NO NO
>>56933406I'm assuming the buyers simply had withdrawals from no new entry this year.
So this show yearly releases really hurt the sales
Japan has the shittiest taste in games
>>56935996Hope they'll finally take enough time to make their damn games so they don't ship them half baked anymore.
>>56935513Team Star is slytherin
>>56936065Slytherin weren't innocent bullied kids, they were the bullies and were the wizard equivalent of racist
>>56934265This. Fix performance and add a battle facility and 99% of legitimate complaints will disappear. I have high hopes for Gen 10.
>*vindicated*
>>56936015>shittiest taste in everythingftfy. It's weird, because they create lots of things that are popular everywhere else but tend to be unpopular in Japan for some reason
>>56936065That makes no fucking sense, shut up retard
