>campaignshitters seething because they have to actually get good at the game to use their ebin super saiyan gimmickKEK
>>58249164ZA is going to have multiplayer?
>>58249164yawnTRVKE
>>58249164There will be no "git gud" at the game, everyone's just going to speedrun to endgame and use Mega Legendaries before they even think of trying to get those Mega Stones.Alternatively, the Discord Bots will be in business in very short time, offering an unlimited quantity of mons to trade who are holding those Mega Stones.
>>58249164It’s just going to participation awards lol. They’re not going to have little Timmy rank in the top rank just to use Greninja’s new form
*uses PKHex*Now what?
>hurf durf git gud filtered by the based filter that filters the filtered etc. etc.gatekeeping exclusive practical content behind ranked play is something you just don't doevery game i've seen with ranked play has ranked rewards be cosmetics, in-game currency or materials, packs / boxes that give the same things you could have gotten elsewhere or some mix of thembeing different for the sake of being different is not always good
>>58249164Poor yawnfag. He can't use Mega Greninja.
>even ledditors are calling this shit game outOh no no no
>>58249319unfortunately the bottom guy is rightthe game could have an unfixable hardlock 30min in and people would still think it's the best thing they've played all year just because it's pokemon
You'll all buy it anyways, just shut up already.
>>58249179It will probably be the equivalent of great ball tier so a couple of wins max. The thing that surprised me was the fact it means the game will have PVP lol
>>58249319>>58249324
>>58249319Pokemon is too expensive but he'll shill remakes when he can emulate the originals?
>>58249164I'm already seeing people forming groups to help others get their Megas. Essentially the goal is to nickname your low level Pokémon "IWantMega" (because you'd be just starting the game) and your opponent would see it and throw the match. It's not perfect but it could work. Especially when more get into it.
>>58249297>gatekeeping exclusive practical content behind ranked play is something you just don't dostop being bad at the game
>>58249384>hurf durf urbadurbadname one other game that at least ten other people have heard of that has done this
>>58249377Every other "important" giveaway from ranked battles in previous games has only made you play 3 battles and given you the reward
>bad at a game that isn't out yet
>>58249395>name one other game that forces me to be good at the game to unlock thingsSuper Metroid
This might end up being worse than SV kek
It's bullshit because it means two won't be available until after most people are done playing the game and they won't be available on replays.
>>58249164This game is a fucking mess, hope this game is fucking dogshit fuck Game Freak
>>58249319>gay flag in the backgroundWhy
>>58249524You'll be able to use them in the DLC : )
>>58249478Super Metroid gates things behind pvp?
>>58249651Because it's reddit, duh, even the subreddits that have jack shit to do with politics will shove faggotry down your throat.
>>58249319>Graphicsfagging
>>58249164Glad I'm not going to play this shit then. Can't even trade the mons' over so why bother? I'm not paying 500 dollars for a nintendo console that's 3 generations behind the rest, and I'm not paying 70+ USD for video games.
>>58249164>game comes out>wait a week>ask a generator to just gen a stone and trade it overGet fucked.
>still zero valid defenses for why forcing people to buy three months of online for megas of the kalos starters is fine
>>58249319>Emulate game>Unlocked framerate>Unlock all paywalled content>+ Mods to improve the experience>Money spent: 0Feels good to not be a retarded consoomer
>>58249164Imagine being so contrarian you side with the corporation.
>>58250380Pokefags are such shitheads, its the ONE(1) franchise were the corporation is worth siding with.
>>58249164As big of an issue as the nso/online play locking is the fact that it’s time-gated. These are probably the some of the biggest draw mega evos in ZA and most people would probably use one of them Day 1 if they could, but you can’t do that. They are really dumb as fuck man, how this design decision made it this far is a mystery for the ages.
>>58249704>Super Metroid gates things behind having to be good at the game?Correct.
>>58249164cant you also only have one of these at once in your save file?
>>58249324GF could put anthrax in the game box and normalfags would get mad if IGN gives it a 9 or lower.
>>58249164How many battles do you even have to win?I can't imagine that they'll ask you to rank top 500 just to get the mega stones.It's probably just gonna be 5-10 wins at most.
>>58249175>everyone's just going to speedrun to endgame and use Mega LegendariesLMFAO retard campaignshitter doesn't know legendaries are fucking BANNED at launch
>>58249164I wanted to believe this game might be good, especially since they took a little longer to make it, but all this shit that has come out recently has just proven that this franchise is beyond saving at this point. It's fucking over.
>>58249164I'm 99% sure they did this so that people will be forced to play the absolute dogshit PvP mode they createdI mean look at this shit, it looks fucking horrendoushttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y30vuKRtYPw
>>58250886And get more money out of NSO subscriptions.Remember when Mega Blaziken was FOMO in XY? At least it was free, not counting the cost of your internet provider.
>>58249395>This is simply unheard of!!! A game that rewards me with content for actually playing online multiplayer and progressing???Lol, retardCall of DutyBattlefieldWorld of WarcraftRunescapeDark SoulsDestinyTeam Fortress 2FortniteMario Partythe list goes on and on...
>>58250866And LZA isn't going to have formats, those are exclusive to games that VGC will take place on. It's a free-for-all, anything goes game.
>>58249164campa*gnsgitter should be filtered to chad like how onions is filtered to onions or desu is filtered to desu
>>58250889Not him but those are all horrible games
>>58250894>And LZA isn't going to [HEADCANON]You don't know shit, retard
>>58250901Did you see formats where specific Pokemon are banned when they were showcasing the PVP? No, you didn't.
>>58250904>They didn't show it so it doesn't exist!Now this is cope
>>58250900Completely irrelevant pointBoth of you lost this argument
>>58250909Yeah that’s kind of how science works.
>>58250917Show me an image of dark matter
>>58250919that proves his point.sham matter is a mockery of science.>"woah it only interacts with gravity">"why cant we detect it using non-gravitational means?"
>>58250951Okay, two options since your brains are extra smoothShow me an image of the Big BangORShow me an image of God
>>58250911I didn't have an argument tho?Just saying i find excusing Pokemon by using corporate slop as example is pretty funnyAlmost like you're self aware about the state of the franchise...
>>58249175>>58250210what if they make megastones key items?
>>58251129Then they can't be held by Pokemon, which subsequently creates a game where every Mega is basically Rayquaza in the sense that they have a free held item slot, which means absolute bullshit like Life Orb Mega Beedrill is now viable.
>>58251165> which subsequently creates a game where every Mega is basically Rayquaza in the sense that they have a free held item slot, which means absolute bullshit like Life Orb Mega Beedrill is now viableSo it's perfect for Champions where we're getting the return of the most retardedly broken cancer in the entire franchise (dynamax) that it has to directly compete against
>>58249164>git gud at the gameLmao those will be participation prizes, you cuck.Now go give daddy Nintendo money to use your own internet.
