>Game Freak started as a loli paedo magazineWhay the fuck
that explains A LOT
>Game Freak started as a good companyYeah, GF died after 2012
they cheated us...
>>58262772They're called Game Freak, not Game Normal
>>58262809Ba-dum-tsss!
>>58262809
>>58262772So. Are we going to cancel game freak like we did typhlosion. Or is this place full of cowards and pedos?
Typhlosionbros we have been vindicated
>>58262826no one is unironically cancelling typhlosion is the thing, it's always just been to get a rise out of typhlosion fans.I don't know how they haven't realized this yet
>>58262826Yes. I'm ready to cancel gamefreak. Where do I start?
>>58262772The way the the anime style is that girl could be anywhere from six to twenty three years old. She might not even be a girl.
>>58262858So you're saying she could be six? Disgusting!
>>58262772>>58262858>that chestThe character clearly isn't in her childhood.
>>58262844“Cancel” was the wrong word, but “spam rape jokes non stop for several weeks to the point where it becomes a viral meme and continuing sfor almost a year and counting, and continuing bring up that character in any conversation about rape or pedophilia are mentioned and vice verses, and making that character forever associated with pedophilia” was much too verbose. “Cancel” was the closest summarization of what happened. >>58262852Should be extremely easy to get dirt on game freak, those sluts have laughable security and seek to leave their files wide open considering how often they’ve been hacked. And even normie are getting sick of their crap. It shouldn’t take much
>libble rabbleisn't that an arcade game namco made
>>58263007Yeah Game Freak were obsessed with Namco games. Mew's entire existence owes itself to Xevious
>>58263013>Mew's entire existence owes itself to Xeviousqrd? because i'm also autistic abt those gamescan they make a splatterhouse mon
>>58262772What went so wrong?
>>58263077Proto Misty is baka sugoi.
>>58262772In gen 1 when you talk to Ken Sugimori in the Gamefreak building in Celadon he says something like "I made the graphics for the game. Isn't Erika cute?" It was probably even cheekier/more suggestive in japanese
>>58262772>Find this magazine online>No loli pedo content withinWhy did you get my hopes up?
>>58263237same thing happens in gen 2 with Jasmine, not sure if it's Sugimori talking though.
>>58262772BASED BASED BASED
>>58263237>>58263251Wait I got that wrong[002] : I wrote the story! Isn't ERIKA cute? I like MISTY a lot too! Oh, and SABRINA, I like her![003] : I'm the graphic artist! I drew you![004] : Me? I'm the programmer![005] : Is that right? I'm the game designer! Filling up your POKEDEX is tough, but don't quit! When you finish, come tell me!2 is nishino (fitting that he gets the fat fuck sprite)3 is sugimori4 is morimoto5 is tajiriSo it's nishino that's the bigger pervPoor Masuda gets no representation
>>58263044Short of it, Xevious had an unused Galaxian enemy in the game code and Tajiri thought cut material like that was a part of what makes games special so he deliberately wanted to include unused content in his game to get gamers curious like he was. He was THAT much of a game freak. Morimoto managing to cram in Mew last minute got him that wish despite the fact it could have fundamentally broke the game completely
>>58263285It's okay he took over director duty after Gen I
Anime little girls are the best thing in the world, so what's the problem?
>>58262772Are we really surprised? This is the same franchise that gave us Lillie, Dawn, Iris, Roxy, Marnie, Misty, Bonnie, Margo, Poppy, etc. They've hired lolicon artists like Hideki Ishikawa to make official cards featuring Acerola and Bonnie. They even admitted they switched the female protagonists of the anime every few years for eye candy! Seriously though, I don't understand why Pokémon has so many "Antis", it's pretty clear just from the threads here fans everywhere in the world are lolicons because the creators themselves are, not least thanks to the characters I mentioned above. I get disliking it because it's a fetish, but when you write "/vp/edo" for the 50th time, just why?Anyway, Dawn > Marnie > Lillie > other pokecunny
>>58263327>Tajiri thought cut material like that was a part of what makes games special so he deliberately wanted to include unused content in his game to get gamers curious like he was. He was THAT much of a game freak.holy fucking based...
The entire crew were 1970/80s arcade otaku (nerds) who made fan magazines and it should be no surprise what they like. TPCi and Nintendo have to horny bonk them.
>>58263461why assume otaku are lolicons though?like what is it about japanese nerds that makes them automatically pedophiles?legitimately asking, I do recognize the trend, I just understand the mechanism of action.
>>58263480*don't understandfucking opinionated AI autocorrect fucking removing words. fuckin bullshit. If I wanted a clanker to speak for me I'd set up a damn autoresponder.
>>58263480As a nerd with childish hobbies I can say it's because most media aimed at kids (and manchilds) are full of little girls, so of course you end up falling in love and having fantasies about little girl characters
>>58263499...Huh.never considered that.Though this would also imply that hanging around kids for extended periods would turn you into a pedophile, and it's not like every teacher is one. There are teachers that are pedos, but it's more that they chose to become a teacher because they had pedo aspirations, no?
>>58263541Usually the difference between an otaku and teacher is crippling mental deficiencies that encourage degeneracy over productivity
>>58262999sperging out like this is why people make typedo jokes
>>58263541Cartoon little girls and actual children are two different things
>>58263541Otaku only see attractive children, teachers have to deal with the ugly and gross ones.Otaku also realize this. That's why "Lolis are not children" is such a common counterargument. Anyone can observe that cartoon children look and act differently from real children.
>>58263480>>58263541>what is it about japanese nerds that makes them automatically pedophiles?The vast majority of men everywhere are pedophiles in denial. Men have to be socially conditioned to not be attracted to children.
>>5826358814 is objectively peak for women
>>58263588what age were the men in that study?
>>58263350
>>58263803>YuriBUT THAT'S FORBIDDEN LOVE!!!
>>58263844Even if it's yourself?
>>58263588Wasn't this test proved to be fake?
>>58263900Imagine being asked if you find underage girls sexually attractive in this age and context. Only an absolute retard or someone with nothing to lose would admit it
>>58263327>He was THAT much of a game freakSeeing as mew was nothing more than lore of how Mewtwo came about, and was not mentioned in the anime at all, it would have been cool if Ho-oh was included and set as a random encounter to appear only once in a games battery, leading kids to go absolutely mad with "I swear it happened" schoolyard gossip. Missingno was too easy to summon, and no one knew Mew was locked in. Even with the contests to get him I assumed he was added somehow, not actually already in the game code.
I'm always surprised there are people who don't realize what's up at Game Freak. Sugimori, Omura, and Ariga alone are enough to make it pretty clear what direction the staff tastes lean in. Not all of them have exclusive tastes or anything, but it's pretty obvious what's up. If go and check their twitters and you'll pretty quickly catch what's going on:https://x.com/SUPER_32X/mediahttps://x.com/yusuke_omura/mediahttps://x.com/ariga_megamix/mediaTwitter is both a blessing and a curse when it comes to finding out more about the artists of your favorite stuff. (Also, I swear I've seen a tweet by Sugimori where he was talking about a friend giving him something fun at a convention and it's a manga about a little girl pissing on things or something).
I knew this thread was going to be a bunch of middle school kids performing retarded attempts at psychology, but I was too curious what old game freak art looked like.
>>58264452Alright. Look, have the comic in the OP. I doubt the whole magazine lineup before GF became Pokémon Central can be found, but get number 10.>https://imgur.com/gallery/QyiHI>Why don't you post it?Because I must go to work now. Have fun.
>>58264161He got a doujin from Shigatake about his vending machine girl.
>>58262772ayo i want nuthin to do wit gamefreak's freaky ahh hell naw
>a bunch of perverted otaku somehow bumbled into making the most valuable franchise in the worldIt's funny to think about
>>58264834I think that happens a lot. Not the "most valuable franchise" thing, but old school nerds and otakus were the ones to made some of the best games (and media).
>>58264475>I doubt the whole magazine lineup before GF became Pokémon Central can be foundThey were all in the Teraleak, not sure if they are available to download, I have them but I'm not on my computer now, may post a link later in this thread if people want
>>58264475
>>58264847wtf
>>58264475What did they mean by this?
#cancelGameFreak
>>58262772And that's exactly why I consider them DMCA'ing everyone who dares lewding their creations as nothing else but peak hypocrisy. Pic related also doesn't help them from a moralfaggotry standpoint.>>58262826>we Reddit is down the hallway and to the left
>>58264161Imagine if this had been more visible during Pokemania.Pokemon might have gotten banned and we'd all be living happy, fulfilling lives now
>>58263844SELFCEST yuri. very forbidden.>>58264161>all of the pokemon that give me weird feelings were drawn by loliconsWell, that at least explains some things.But it's weird and frankly impressive to me that they were somehow able to make them sexually charged without any actual visible traits to make them sexually charged. Nothing about flutter mane, ogrepon, or sneasler are actually salacious. So how?
>>58263988that's why the test was ran using objective physiological markers. increased heartbeat, changes in skin resistance, pupil dilation, dick arousal, etc. it doesn't matter what their words said or what they believed about themselves, their bodies were turned on by 14 year olds.>>58264834>>58264839You ever read any deep lore of Forgotten Realms? It's horny and kinky as fuck, D&D took the world by storm and more or less invented adventure games as a genre and codified the vast majority of medieval fantasy tropes, and it was made by pervs, old school nerds, and otakus_(western equivalent) too.A lot of early sci fi novels too, same thing.Comic writers, same thing.I think part of why media is stagnating and eating its own tail so hard right now is that there's not really a good way for weirdoes to congregate and make neat things that will go on to be cultural touchstones for decades anymore, and most of the people doing any writing are just normies.4chan is one of the last bastions of weirdoes, and even here is still heavily infected with outside disruption, its days of making things 10 years behind it.>>58265004oh the DMCA is just japanese companies are super litigious about copyright because of how their laws are worded. There's no general purpose fair use clause, and all the ones they do have are pretty limiting and mostly to do with copying. The closest to allowing fan works is Shinkokuzai, the thing that allows doujins, which just says that not complaining is considered tacit approval when it comes to criminal prosecution. Which of course then forces companies to have to complain every time unless they just don't care about others using their copyrighted material at all for their own works.Shinkokuzai is also used in their sexual assault law, which is why they have kind of a big problem with that for a country with otherwise a pretty low crime rate. The state can't prosecute unless a victim publicly steps forward with a complaint.
>>58265306>D&D took the world by stormNo wonder DnD is woke as fuck now.
>>58265306>>58265323>Comic writersAlso mostly Jewish btw. Pokemon wasn't anything without the designs of the monsters the gameplay was mediocre to bad and was a rip off of dragon quest
>>58265323D&D is woke as fuck now because they kicked out all the old nerds for being controversial, Hasbro wants family friendly and lefty-west-coast politically correct to the point of blatant hypocrisy.Well and because one of the main things that made 5th edition almost as popular as 1st was a bunch of hollywood voice actors making their own live play podcast that now even has its own amazon show adaptation.But Forgotten Realms setting is still horny, but that's because they contractually cannot get rid of Ed "Dare you enter my Magical Realm, drow titty milk tastes like truffles and cinnamon" Greenwood or they lose use of the setting as well.But that's also why they're refocusing on Greyhawk instead of FR, fired everyone they lent to Larian for Baldur's Gate 3, and released their also contractually obligated 1 FR adventure a year as a japan exclusive. They don't want to give up the IP rights, but they will do everything they can to bury it now that the new leadership actually bothered to look at what it contained.
>>58265328>the gameplay was mediocre to bad and was a rip off of dragon questNot particularly. Outside of being turn-based there isn't much similarities that aren't innate to the genre. Maybe if you wanted to stretch it being a ripoff of the first game, but I doubt they were thinking that. Also Sugimori's "Art Style" of the time but he was always a hack. I think it might tie into what >>58265306 said about weirdos because the game concept was was way too gimmicky to really be comparable to anything of its era (catch monsters, all of their abilities required limited MP, hero doesn't fight, etc.). If they didn't get the cartridge expansion it really would've been obvious as a gimmick game since it was only planned to have 30 monsters
>>58265354>kicked out all the old nerdsI'm sure they are all dead or trooned out by now.>bunch of hollywood voices actorsSo you are saying CR are the ones who wokeifed dnd?
>>58264161All good artists are some kind of pervert. This has always been true.
>>58265373>CRI don't think Crunchyroll are responsible for this to beqh
>>58265368>Sugimori's "Art Style" of the time but he was always a hackI agree the real MVP was def Nishida >game since it was only planned to have 30 monstersMonster catching was from originally from SMT and I think so was type based weakness.
>>58265380Critical role.
>>58263480It was simply common enough with nerds in Japan that it was assumed to be a significant percentage of them. Lolicons were directly pandered to in official merchandise before Pokemon was even a thing. Mind you a lot of it was a lot more innocuous than it is today.
>>58262772they're still pedos
Lillie getting a two piece swimsuit in the anime was not that long ago, I don't know why people are pretending this is surprising.
>>58265397Wtf how did they predict vtubers 10+ years before they were invented?
>>58265397Aren't tubers and twins supposed to be like 6 years old?
>>58265373the troons are all the new replacements. if they were troons WotC would have kept them.As for dead, like, Gary and Dave and Don are sure, but they were born in the late 30s, they were already past middle age when they started TSR. The writers i'm talking about are only in their mid-60s right now.And to be quite frank, not just TSR era guys, recently WotC cleaned house by layoff or forced resignation pretty much any designer, dev, artist, or writer who'd been with the company since before 5e, so it's actually even worse, but I don't exactly feel like Crawford or Perkins or Mearls were contributing any sexual degeneracy so it's just a tangent. Still it does go to show just how much WotC wants every scrap of weirdo nerd gone in favor of DEIs and bluehairs they literally recruited off twitter, not even joking some of them confirmed it in an interview.>So you are saying CR are the ones who wokeifed dnd?I'm saying they definitely didn't help. They made D&D popular on Tumblr, and we all know what Tumblr users are like. Gasoline on a kitchen greasefire. Cannonball in the side of an already leaking ship.
>>58265381The trading concept did originate from Dragon Quest given it came from a story between Tajiri and Sugimori. I'm not sure if the team were trying to hide the monster taming ideas being inspired by a much less relevant Megami Tensei or they just happened to land on it as the focus of "trading items" in a genre that didn't have that. Especially when the initial Capumon concepts were as early as 1990. I can't rule out that a bunch of absolute dweebs wouldn't know about Megami Tensei, but it's always been a tenuous comparison since the focus of those games are on the RPG aspect of the recruitment versus the kind of item-like way Pokemon are treated in Gen I
>>58263564zamn quilava throwin it back
>>58265475I feel the old crew saw Dragon Quest and the old Megami Tensei, and started speaking about how to make it different.>Have lots of monsters like in DQ>Make a more simple recruitment than the one in MT>Base it around old bug catching, and how technology and gentrification slowly removes those bugs>Make the MC a hero, because this is a tale about growing up>Give it a simple plot. Not saaving the world, but also not letting the towns to rot>Maybe some hidden content, because that will make people talkBoom, Pokémon was created.
>>58265475Yeah, the trading concept came from Dragon Quest 2 and 3 and their Mysterious Hat item, a very useful but extremely rare late game drop that Sugimori had managed to find two of, but was obviously unable to trade to Tajiri, who didn't find a single one.
>>58265475The key difference in Megami Tensei is that the monsters you recruit don't level up at all (at least, not until the games released AFTER Dragon Quest V), so they're treated more like familiars than party members. Pokemon's monster taming mechanics are clearly drawing from Dragon Quest V, right down to having a similar disobedience mechanic.
>>58264840Do it
>>58263380>Hideki IshikawaBased
>>58263007Its the best arcade game they made. I fucking love Libble Rabble.
