> needs to buy a subscription to get megas
There is no way these aren't going to be given away eventually, locking evolutions behind RANKED BATTLES of all things would be the stupidest thing since the dex cut.
>>58240630they're fucking ugly anyway, so, i don't really care.
>>58240630Boycott this shit. Forcing people to sign up for a subscription when they previously didn't need to is disgusting.
Wake up, finish jobs see some Pokemon news>Oh damn is it time to rekindle the little flameSee /vp/ lol lmao even. never ever.
>>58240630CENTRO IS A
>>58240647That's the logical answer so we need to disregard it and say Nintendo is greedy for locking mega behind a paywall instead.
>>58240691Bitch, people didn't boycott when the XBox required a subscription to play online, didn't boycott when Sony started doing it two generations later, and sure as fuck didn't boycott when Nintendo did it the generation after that. In fact, in all three cases sheep DEFENDED it. What the hell makes you think anyone will boycott now?
>>58240630are you fucking serious?I wanted either the delphox or chestnaught on my team and use their mega at launch. Fucking why
>>58240630>forcing people to play PvPI fucking hate it. Time to learn legendary spam if you just want to use the Mega of your favorite. I thought Champions was supposed to get rid of mainline PvP focus, not enforce it
>>58240630Sure but>people that already care about competitive play officially will have subscriptions>people that care about real competitive play via Champions will likely just be able to use these with an item system + rentals>people that don't care about official play will just keep not caring on Showdown
>>58240742NIGGERRRRRRRRRRRRRR
>>58240630>Forced PVPWhat the actual fuck were they thinking?
>>58240647did they give out Blazikenite in XY any other times before ORAS?
>>58240630if this isn't a reason for the switch 2 to get jailbroken ASAP, i don't know what else is. This level of corporate greed is reaching breaking point. Enough is enough.
Not so different from timegated event mythicals (all of them for a wage of a Kantonese bug-catching forum mod), but now this reached WoW-levels of jewish bullshittery lol
>>58240630I wouldn't care so much if they weren't season-locked and centered around a gimmicky battle modeby the time you can even get the stones you'll probably be done with almost everything the game has to offer, what's the point
>>58240630>Coolest megas from this shitshow>Need NSO subscription to even try to obtain>Locked behind shitty FOMO online mode ranking that will be actual cancer to play once Jewtubers make their "EASY RANK A STRAT IN LEGENDS Z-A!!" videos>Will likely only be generally available via distribution when Gen 10 is about to come out, when no one cares about Z-A anymore. Peak GF faggotry right there, every remotely good thing they produce has to come with a massive caveat. Fuck these gooks.
>>58240630You guys don't seriously believe this, right? Come on now
>>58240949I know c*ntro posted the image in OP but it's on the official site, it's confirmed
>>58240949it is thoughbeithttps://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/news/mega-stones
>>58240647they actually tried before in sun and moon, with most stones being unavailable in game. no one bothered with the competitions, so they dumped them all in mystery gift, and let you buy them with BP in USUM
>>58240691Tell me the last time a boycott ever fucking worked lmao imbecile
>>58240647>2025>Still thinking GameFreak wouldn’t stoop any lowerlol lmao
Don't care. I'm still pirating it and getting the mega stones via pkhex
>>58240691As long as 70% of the current braindead players buy in (which they always do)it won't do a thing
>>58240630I WANT MY WIZARD! wtf?! >>58240647>Watch it never happen and this will be the only way to legitimately get these Megas before Game Freak moves on to Gen 10.
>>58240647>2025>Trusting GF>Trusting nintendo Lmao
>>58240980So you technically need to pay for all five megas revealed today
>>58241157You have to pay for every mega in the game :)
>stop being poor>stop being casualUhh based?
Wait, this game has ranked battles? Why?
>>58240630>You WILL play with other peopleSounds like my mum
>>58240630oh no you have to interact with other living humans, how awful
>>58240949Anon, if it’s bad for Pokemon fans, it’s not a matter of if, but when.We had Mew tied to controllers back in 2018 and shit has only gotten worse since.
>countless children are about to learn the hard way that they can't win with their favorites and that real-time faggles WILL require them to use Pokemon with high speed stats and small hitboxes in order to actually win battles>all for Megas they won't use because their hitboxes are too big and speed stats that aren't good enough (aside from Greninja, of course)>the DLC will probably be pay2win to boot
>>58240949I wonder if Nintendo or Game Freak ever "leak" shit themselves to get an idea on how it will be received before announcing it officially so they can backpedal if needed
>>58241365Hitler was right about you “people”
>>58240630At this point I literally only play the fanmade free games like Showdown or Pokerogue anyway so meh
>>58240982and they thought it was a smart idea to try again? It's not going to convince non competitive players to be competitive. It's just going to piss them off. Competitive players don't need rewards to be convinced to play, they just need a number they can watch go up
How does anyone with a modern console not have an online subscription as well? PS, Xbox, Switch, whatever, online is nigh mandatory at this point.
>>58240630Good thing I’m waiting to buy the Switch 2. I might not now because of this shit
>>58241385>the DLC will probably be pay2win to bootnot like anyone will actually take the online battles in za seriously, the real shit will be when they get added to Champions and how they'll be obtained there
>>58241365You have to pay more than the slated price to access all the content that will be in the game at launch you stupid fucking dipshit. It's not about social interaction. God, you people and your willful ignorance. Go bite a powercord or something.
>>58241385>p2wImpossible. This isn't turn based so people with quicker reaction time will be better off.
>>58241436this, no one is gonna give a shit about ZA battles so its even more baffling to tie it to ranked when the actual usage for them will be in an entirely different gameso really the whole game is a 90$ dlc for champions
>>58241385You may even be forced to download Home in order to bring over an obscure mon from an old game that crushes everything because of the new battle system.Are we sure though that the mega stones are only obtainable from winning rather than just taking part?
>>58241436My money's that you can't unlock the new Megas in Champions unless you have a Pokemon who was flagged as "Mega Evolved in Legends: Z-A" transferred over, and rentals won't cover for your ass until Gen 10's own DLC drops, which will be the point most Megas are made irrelevant by whatever powercreep is introduced there.
>>58240630This the paradox raid fomo all over again, fucking bastards
>>58240630BasedFuck megas
>>58241428I was waiting for a nicer looking one if they didn't make an early oled. Not getting it now and honestly probably gonna look into selling my switch 1 after I get shiny chi-yu. Wanted the koraidon and miraidon shinies too but apparently they're doing the gamestop nonsense again.
I wouldn't care if this was a full live service game but this is going to go the same way it did in Sword and Shield and Scarlet and Violet and I'm going to lose interest in post game way before these are even available.I never got several Gigantomax or Paradox Pokemon either.
>>58240630If this true I reconsider buying this shit...
>>58240691The common peon is dumb enough to hand out money when asked.
>ALL of these PATHETIC shitters coping and seething, knowing they're too bad at Pokemon to climb the ladderGet fucked
>>58240630Fuckers at gamefreak will bring back that ORAS bullshit where you needed 1000 secret base flags for mega Garchomp.
We need less Marios and more Luigis
