Locking them behind a paywall and requiring you to participate in online battles....doesn't say whether you need to win a certain amount or if it's just for participating.

why yes, I too hate being forced to play Pokémon when I buy a Pokémon game.
>>58243719>she fell for the dexcut >she fell for the open world ubishit >she fell for the paid battle pass How do poketurds do it
>>58243735but gamefreak is my faovright developer in the entirest world and they would never do anything bad therefore if they do something that I think is bad it must actually be because the thing being done was good all along
>>58243732Yeah but the rewards are temporary. If you don’t play during those events then fuck you I guess
>>58243732i mean there's no reason for them to not be available in the game. the galarian birds are also shiny locked and were only available if you participated in a tournament.
>She doesn't gen and insert shit blatantly being cut from these gamesThis is the end result of Mythicals, btw
>>58243719>Bad. Game. Design. No it's just intentional since gamefreaks wants you to use the shitty ZA starters instead
>if you ever send a pokemon to ZA, it will no longer be available to send back to an older gamethis is the most egregious thing I've heard about this game so far.
>>58243719I haven't bought or played a pokemon game since XY lmao
>>58243777why would you ever play a older game once ZA come out anyway?
>>58243732The problem is that it's limited time events. Limited timed events are shit. They suck balls. Prevents people from getting stuff. If it's locked behind a certain rank or win streak, then it's likely a lot of people won't be able to get it due to poor internet or getting unlucky with matchups.
>>58243755You can technically get then in Pokémon Go now but1. Few people play that2. It's extremely rare. You'd be lucky to encounter the birds normally, let alone as shinies.
>>58243785sound like a skill issue
>>58243802No not really. I don't decide when my internet drops out. I can't afford a better plan, nor can I get a better paying job because everyone keeps hiring jeets and jews. It's also a luck issue to get a bad matchup. Sometimes there's nothing you can do, no matter how much you plan and prepare, there's always a possibility you'll get unlucky, or encounter an opponent with a team that perfectly counters yours.
>>58243858You sound like a huge fucking whiner dude
>>58244017Nah. I've accepted that I'll have to wait for Mega Chesnaught. A little pissed I can't use it on my playthrough team.
>>58243750You have an entire month to participate in a single battle, and don't even have to win. There is literally nothing wrong with it.
>>58244177Actually I take that back. I can completely understand being annoyed over the wait time between each mega stone. Aside from that the whole thing is whatever though
Pokefags and Shitencucks will defend this.
>>58243732I play Pokemon for pve, not forced pvp.
>>58243732I hate being forced to EV train and breed for natures, IVs and egg moves to get the perfect competitive Pokemon to use in the multiplayer and then have to restart multiple times to get legendaries and still have to compete with douchebags that just have mythicals from fucking gens 3-7 that would be impossible for me to get legitimately.
>>58243777Wait, what? That was the whole point of Pokemon Home, not blocking you from transferring stuff freely between all the Switch games. Fucking Hell I hope whoever decided that gets food poisoning.
I remember arguing about post-game back in Gen 6 and cucks were like "Online IS the posf-game! Git gud!" 15 years later? It's all fucking gone!
>>58243719>>58243735>>58243743>>58243750>>58243755>>58243785>>58243858>>58244222>>58244274Git gud or fuck off shittersOnly people good at Pokemon deserve rewards like these.>b-but I want it I want it I don't want to work hard for the prize I just heckin' want it!!!!Too bad, FUCK you.
I mean it's a good incentive to get people into online play. 50 pokeballs or whatever would be an alternative wouldn't do it
>>58243750Trade bots
>>58244311You can't trade mega stones
>>58244293>Want to play again 15 years later? Too bad!
>>58244317Yes you can, the only mega stones that couldn't be traded were ones that didn't exist in XY from ORAS.You could even trade Latiosite/Latiasite back to those games because they were in XY's code.
>>58244293No, this is stupid. You're basically turning your game always online and forcing people to take part in your shitty competitive scene for FOMO items that will be unobtainable once the online service inevitably shuts down 3-4 years from now. It's greedy forced engagement and the only reason they get away with it is because manchild Nintendo retards buy it anyway. Every. Single. Time. By all measures the Switch 2 SHOULD have flopped, with its prohibitively expensive $500 price tag, $90 games and $60 paid online, but virgin manchild bronies just can't stop buying Nintendo products and Nintendo knows that that's why they're allowed to peddle shit like the fucking Virtual Boy instead of making good new innovative games or even at least another F-Zero or Star Fox. FUCK Nintendo for doing this while suing games that dare be better than them at the same things (see Palworld). Fuck them.
>>58244329>blaming the Switch 2 for gayfreak's slopCope more cubesnoy
>>58244342GF is just following Nintendo's current complacent mediocre Disney business model. You don't have to make good games just shit out more mediocre Mario and Pokemon garbage and paid DLC and charge people $60 to rent ROMs and people will gobble it up like Walmart sushi. If Nintendo were competent and not greedy, evil bitches, they would have disbanded GF after the gen 8 debacle and had a competent Western studio or the Pocketpair guys make the games instead.
>>58244293how's that boot taste, MAGAt?
>>58244248you can reach master rank easily with an ingame team
>>58244293It shouldn't be limited time and they all should've been given out at once.
>>58244293>unironically being a fagass gatekeeper who believes that only a privileged few should have access to game content that should've never been FOMOshitNiggers like you are why I hate Pokefags and Pokemon is a manifestation of everything wrong with modern video games.And no, I don't give a damn if you call me a poorfag since doing so will only prove me right in that you are a fuckass NIGGER that is also a Shitencuck.#MegaFlygonNeverEver
Them being locked behind ranked is good simply because it gatekeeps campaignshitters from flocking to le ebin new megas. The only bad part is the fact that you have to wait months for the seasons to end.
>>58244323L:Z-A probably won't have held items since that'd require adapting a massive amount of items to the real-time battle system, therefore you can't make your mons hold Mega Stones. What now, shitlips?
>>58244819Fuckbags like you and Andrew Tate are why woke ideologies are even a thing to begin with.When Paganism makes a mainstream comeback and topples Christianity & Islam, it's all your fault and it could've been prevented.
>>58243732This shit should be in the fucking game.Not limitedNot an eventSomething you can get whenever you play the damn fucking game.
>>58244847What the fuck are you babbling about? Go take a walk outdoors, /pol/ has completely atrophied your brain.
>>58243735kek tpbp
>>58244248If you can't beat em, join em. You presumably have a 3DS which should have Luma installed by now.Give yourself perfect Pokemon in XY or SM and transfer them up to Home through Bank and you can just use those instead. That's what I'm gonna be doing.
>>58243732This. I bet /vp/ is seething just because they're too shit at competitive to earn the stones.
>>58244826We already know for a fact it will, have you been missing the Ralts promo at the end of each trailer?
