It's over, Kantobros.
>>56941036>best selling gen debut game is the worst game>worst selling gen debut game is the best gameyou deserved it
>>56941036Kanto pandering ends here.Paldea pandering starts now.
It sold well BECAUSE of kanto pandering
>>56941060compared to gens 6-8 it is a pretty reduced amount
>>56941060Are the most popular Pokemon in Paldea also Chadrizard, Machad, and Gengar?
>>56941060compared to gen 5 it is a pretty reduced amount
>>56941060compared to gen 2 it is a pretty reduced amount
>>56941036these figures never take into account that the switch is also the highest selling console that Pokemon has been on. the switch games have high total sales, but the attach rate is basically the same, or even lower than previous games.
>>56941060it had more unova/johto/sinnoh pandering rather than KANTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO pandering
Genwar thread
>>56941128hi yawnfag
Currently replaying Scarlet (I beat Violet a year ago) and fucking christ they didn't fix a damn thing about the performance and technical issues. This is embarrassing.
>>56941036none of those sales were deserved. SV is one of the laziest games in the series and it doesn't most if any flaws from previous switch games
What went so right?
>>56941608the real secret is pandering to OPEN WORLD faggots
>>56941060Galar had more Kanto pandering than this gen
>>56941632this
>>56941335It's literally the most soulful game we've gotten since gen 5. Cope.
>>56941097Factually incorrect, DS sold 154m units, but Pokémon's two new Gen pairs on DS could only sell 17.67m and 15.64m respectively for an average of 16.65m. Switch sold 8m less units than DS, but Pokémon sold 26.44m and 25.69m respectively, for an average of 26.065m per new Gen pair on the system. The reason for this is casual gamer adults bought the Switch, leading to more than JUST the average playerbase of Pokémon buying into the games as opposed to the DS days, when mummy and granny were buying it for brain training and virtuadoggies.You. Lost.
>>56941674>Artistic intent The only artist intent game freak has is incompetence, and CHARIZARD shilling
>>56941060anon the dlc take place in unova. That's the complete opposite of kanto pandering. Hell, im pretty sure it actively reppeled gbfags from buying the dlc.
>>56942134The DLC takes place off-shore on a floating island anon. It's situated off the Unovan coast *in lore* but aside from schoolkids attending (of which there's some from PokéJapan enrolled, proving it's not a DEDICATED school for only Unova peoples) who reveal their parentage being noptables from Unovan society, there's noting actually situating it IN Unova. Even the games treat it as part of Paldea, given Cyrano and Briar both brought the Terastral phenomenon to the schoolyard biome and assigning any and all pokémon caught within a Paldea Origin mark, instead of coding it to the Unova Game of Origin code.
>>56942128this only applies for gen 6+
>>56941036Agias Supremacy.
>sucks off unova>outsells red and greenWe're getting trash forever...
>>56941290>he bought both versionsYou are part of the problem
>>56942210I’m sorry, which gen was Charizard Bridge in again?
>>56941036>this kusoge is the most successful pokemon game in its home marketfurther proving pokefags are worthless brandniggers with shit taste, I respect precisely none of you and your opinions are retardbabble
>>56942223idk, i only know the "Driftveil Drawbridge"
>>56942218So, just what was gonna happen regardless?I mean, they didn't even try and make any the last 4 generations for you, yet they still sold gangbusters, still exposed kids to the virus and all saw you sit crying about the fact the devs didn't give a fuck for you and suddenly you thought there WAS a chance they'd break the habit of a lifetime and give a shit for old cunts, much less give a shit about old cunts above and beyond kids and the fucking casuals?
>>56942240The last 4 had references to every region but now they're gonna focus on Unova just to satisfy consoomers and Twitter
>>56942230>utterly misses the ironyYou're an adult on a containment board dedicated to a kid's game dude. (You)'re just as guilty of being a worthless brandnigger, considering this isn't /v/ or r/games or some other overarching video game discussion board that happened to spit out a Pokémon topic among the PC, Playstation, other Nintendo stuff and Xbox topics yet you need to be here in this particular moment to keep your kiddy toy close. Like any self-respecting worthless brandnigger.
When's the dlc going on sale?I'm not paying $35 for that shit
>>56941060What kanto pandering?
>>56942259No, they're not you dumb little cunt. They referenced it, because it's now 14 years since it was last in the focus of the series and unlike Sinnoh in Gen 8 or Kalos in this Gen, which got or are getting games to renew their eras in people's minds, it's still 3 years until the Gen 5 remakes are due (first Gen on new hardware, as always) so too soon to make a game in the region, but too far away to NOT reference it (remember, Hoenn, Kanto, Sinnoh, Alola, Galar, Paldea and Kalos will all have appeared on-system in the last 11 years). Johto's next for dickriding, not that /vp/'s gonna like that, because it's been a hot minute since they talked about it in-game.
>>56942264Probably won't, or it'll be late next year or '26, when they have absolutely every little drop of full-price DLC sales and are about ready to bin Gen 9 for Gen 10.
>>56942204Jacq: "It's a school in the Unova region, you know."
>>56942335Let me guess, y9ou dropped the DLC there? Or are you scraping Bulbapedia? Because the pan-in to the school shows it in blue ocean, with no hint of land anywhere. It's off the coast in Unovan territorial waters. It's not on the landmass, there's nowhere large enough to sink a school in Unova (unlike in the ocean, you're limited by how deep you can dig and extend and how costly doing so is, building an underwater biome, you're limited by how deep the ocean is at your planned site, and there's a BIG fuck-off globe holding that biome underneath the school).Play the fucking games, actually use that lump of fat in your head you've the gall to call your brain. Because if they'd wanted to put it on mainland Unova, they would have done so, not stuck it in the ocean, because it was 4 years until it gets remade.
>>56942451did you played the games? are you stupid? have you seen the ocean of unova? do you know how region in real life and in games work? will you say sevii islands are not part of Kanto? are you retarded?
>>56942596Yep, hence why I said it's in Unovan territorial waters but not near the coast (mainly because the seabed rises to meet the beach front and become a landmass, meaning less room for them to float the big fuck-off biome dome).Like I said, play the games but payt attention this time. All there in the fucking manual.
>>56941036>comparing the sales of a 30 year old game to something released today without accounting for population or the amount of people into videogamesI don't understand why brainlets keep using this as a metric of good
>>56942701because no other game before it reached a similar result
>>56942701It's not being used as a metric of quality, it's kist showing that Red and Green have FINALLY been dethroned in Japan after having held the title of "best seller Pokemon game in Japan" since they first released.Which isn't actually a surprise, the Switch has one of the largest install bases of all time, and the drought year has incentivized on-the-fence nips to just cave in and buy SV to tide things over since they've grown bored of SWSH.
>>56941036So this means no more KANTOOOOOOOO, right
>>56942791No, there's still gonna be KANTOOOOOOO, it just means there's gonna be a whole lot of PALDEAAAAAAAAAA to join it starting from 2032 onward.
>>56942791paldea (like every gen except 3 and 5) is a KANTOOOOO spinoff so there's gonna be even more KANTOOOOOOO
>>56942809>t. tranny
>>56942809Nope, Gen 3 was a soft-reboot full of Kantomons and Gen 5 was a soft-reboot full of Kantomon expies to remind you of Kanto and make you yearn for Kanto instead of dealing with its retarded American cousins.
>>56942809Paldea didn't even have any perceivable Kanto pandering past the Convergent mons both being based on Gen 1 mons (and even then the immediate next one was a Gen 8 mon).
