Pokemon is the "Potential Man" of media franchises. No one likes it for what it is, but for what it "could" or "should" be, or what they imagined as as kids.
>>57207929I love Pokemon exactly for what it is, Gen 5
>>57207929I don't even think that is true, most Pokemon fans are normalfags who do not care about how much better the franchise could be, they just want to consume the current product so they can be apart of the current thing and not miss out.
>>57207929Imagine…
>>57207929PokeMMO killed all my potential man dreams.This game fucking sucks.
>>57207935>Cool mons >Somewhat mature themes like "ghost girl">Dating >Fun things to do outside of battling >Tonnes of endgame >Cool villian Yeah, based.
>>57207929the franchise has lots of room to become very good, but also lots of room to make it absolutely terribleromhacks/fangames are a testament to that
>>57208190you know the game is bad when you have to list "tons of railroaded pointlessly gated content" as a positive
>>57209127>I don't want to have to work for rewards Classic zoomer behaviour
>>57207929JJK has one of the most annoying fanbases out there.
>>57207929I got back into pokemon as an adult because Scarlet & Violet is the pinnacle of the monster-taming genre so far.
>>57207929You're right, but a lot of "idea guys" in the fandom have shitty game design philosophy that's arguably worse than Game Freak themselves.
>>57209771That's how it always is with anything, the people who don't really know anything tend to be the loudest. But despite all the countless variations of what people want Pokemon to be, I think most people would be able to design something that's better than recent gamefreak attempts.
>>57209418Current day Jojo(normal)fags.
>>57209418JJK is dead, it ended last September
