For those skipping this release, why?
>>58284672Not turn basedIf it's not turn based I won't play it
>>58284672I'm not skipping it
>>58284672Less skipping it and more pirating because I can’t get mega Delphox at launch and I want to get her in my playthrough so I’m going to emulate it and use pkhex until they make a good worthwhile way to get her without having to wait for seasons to pass.Plus god knows they’re not gonna make mega stones tradable because people will defend that practice.
>>58284672i don't own a switch
>>58284672Becuase Game Freak is full of lazy greedy pedophillic morons who I don’t feel like giving my money to
>>58284672It won't have a playable framerate on switch, and I don't want to drop $500 on a nintendo consoleSo I'd only really pick it up during the holiday season if we see price drops, which going by nintendo's recent moves isn't likely to happen
>>58284672>looks like shit even after a gap year>more focused on battling when i preferred legends arceus's focus on catching>mega stones locked behind online>takes place in kalos, the region that turned the main series into slop
>>58284672I've been fooled too many times already
>>58284672I don't own a Switch 2.In fact, I haven't bought any new games ever since I got my PS2. And this was in 2007.
i intended to get it when they revealed it last year, but it got more and more unappealing with every new bit of info they put out
It's morally wrong to give differing Nintendo and GF money. Either don't play it or pirate it.
>>58284704It's weird. I don't want to spend so much money on a switch 2, but I'm also against buying one because there are so few worthwhile titles on it. Meaning I'm disappointed I can't spend even more money on a switch 2.I think I'm a part of the problem.
>>58284672this does not spark joy
Not a mainline game
>>58284803you understand the fun-to-price ratio and realize it doesnt match up, less games means less fun.
>>58284672Not skipping but pirating it
>>58284685>her>that beardTroon sis...
>>58284676So... You're waiting for gen X anon?
>>58284704The price is only going to go up.
>>58284672I'm not a compfag and fuck that real time shit
>>58284672I am largely disinterested in what they've showcased up to this point, shrimple as.
>>58284672i'm super excited for thisday one piratei like that it's not turn based slop anymore, that shit should stay in champions
>>58284672They haven't confirmed Bonnie as a major character to the plot line, and she literally LIVES where the game takes place.
>>58284704for me, the switch 2 isn't even worth buying right nowboth mkw and dkb are downgrades to mk8 and modysseyplus kirby air riders doesn't interest me, splat raiders is a spinoff, the other games don't interest me at alli think i'll wait until they release switch 2 litethankfully prime 4 and legends za are switch 1 titles so i can just play them on an emulator until then
>>58284672Looks really under polished. I’m also mad the mega of my favorite is going to look like dogshit
>>58285217You can adapt...
>>58284672Selling the cut postgame as day one DLC.
>>58284672I wasn’t gonna play at first due to reasons, but once I heard kalos starter megastones were being locked behind ranked season shit that really sealed the deal.>”they’ll release them at some point”I don’t fucking care, I don’t play sweat shit especially for pokemon.
>>58284672I'm not paying $100 for mega evolutions with no abilities, sounds mechanically boring to me. What are mega heracross and kangaskhan even gonna do, for example?
>>58284672i wouldn't call it "skipping" so much as "i have brains and stopped buying low effort pokemon shit 10+ years ago"
>>58285381Have they confirmed Elite 4 and/or Champion? If not maybe she is tied to a new possible Zygarde storyline retconned to game canon because of the anime
>>58285458>>58284672>be me>go on /vp/>why do you hate mega Pokémon thread>post in it>”mega Pokémon suck because they go away after battle and you can only have one in your party”>months later>mega dimension announced This is fishtank season 2 all over again
>>58284672Nothing has interested me. I’m fine with my backlog
>another point-of-no-return transfer game (and the only other game they can go to is champions which idgaf)>timegated megasi was already on the fence because i don't like kalos much and i thought the near-future city setting was boring but those two tipped me over
I'm a very big Nintendo and Pokemon fanboy, and get pretty much everything they release. i have 2 fucking switch 2's for some retarded reason. after seeing what they did to mario kart, and now all of this shit about the switch 2 finally settling in and them doubling down on being the absolute worst company ever, i just cant support it anymore. they are so openly anti gamer now its insane. putting a lot of my time now into Deadlock. fun game.
The moment Gamefreak and Nintendo removed the ability to truly Catch Em All, it violated the spirit of this board and has lost all meaning.I do not desire to "Capture a Fraction of Em All"
>>58284672I'm not bothering with a nostalgia trip for one of the worst generations.
>>58285727same with me, along with the palworld crap. the palworld stuff GENUINELY makes me fucking angry.
>>58284672I dropped the series ages ago and only cum to the ossans and daddies, and even those have been lacking ever since Drayden.
>>58285381A few leaks have said she's in the game and is a big Iono fan.
>>58284672I'm gonna pirate, but I won't payI have a Switch but it'll look better on my PCI'm tired of paying for mediocre, lazy slop gamesNot buying a Switch 2 for all the anti-customer practices and the Palworld lawsuit, which I hope Nintendo loses
>>58284672Chikorita sucks
It's a game freak game and i am not addicted to pokémon meaning games have to look good and competent for me to care.Oh and no day one dlc that's simply a stripped off postgame.
>>58286192It’s literally the most popular starter of zaCope moar bb
>>58286233LOL
>>58284672Scat vio was the last nail on the coffin for me, I went from being a fervient fanatic to just not giving a shit anymore about pokeymanz, I play genshin impact now.I gotta admit it's funny how I went from the "smarr indie company, preasu understandu" from japan to the one from china, hoyo is the exact same as gf when it comes to being retards, but at least I can keep using all of my hot hebe genshins without worrying about gencuts.
>>58286243gacha players are sub human anyway
>Yes I WILL pirate the game and shit on it online, you mind?
>>58286243>HebeWell, you're subhuman so nothing of value was lost.
>>58286233Stupid ass nigga!!!
>>58284672Jumped off the Pokemon train like two decades ago, Anon. It was fun while it lasted but its a game series for ten year olds and I'm not ten anymore. The more important question is, why did you have to ask this like it isn't obvious?
>>58284672I don't buy bad games
>>58284771What are you doing here then?
>>58286311see >>58286343
>>58284672i don't really give a fuck about these games anymore. they're all shit and have been for a while. i'm having a much better time mindbreaking the doe for a fraction of the price, and i don't need to buy a whole new console to do it.
>>58284672Not buying a switch2 for it >but it's on switch1After seeing the performance different on SV you'd be dumb to ever buy ZA on the switch1 instead of waitingAnd for not having a switch2 there's not enough good games to warrant it yet. They revealed fuck all in the nintendo direct too. So I'll just wait till then, it should also drop in price by then too
>>58286077A single screenshot of her render, and the game is in my maybe list. My terms are simple. I got Sonic Racing Crossworlds for Cream, and they did not disappoint.
>retards thinking greedtendo will drop price at some pointJust like they do sales of first party titles, right
im buying even though i'll probably hate itmy love for pokemon games outweighs my hate for shit games
>>58284672I played PLA and Scarlet and they convinced me to never try nuPokemon ever again
>>58286343I enjoy engaging with ragebait and occasionally talking about old pokemon
>>58284672Pokemon XY was the last game I boughtUSUM demo was the last I playedStopped completely because of the response to the Pokedex being cut was #ThankyouGameFreak.So it became unsalvageable.I just peek in every now and then for the newest waifubait because that's all it has left and that is slowly leaving too.
>>58286471i enjoyed usum but i really love the islander setting
>>58284780also how I feel yeah, was interested, get less so every time I see itfeels like only people who were children when XY dropped will end up loving this, would be cool to be wrong though
>>58284700>lazyAgreed>greedyAgreed>pedophillic Based>moronsAgreed
>>58284672I know this is said a lot on this board, but might be the first Pokémon game I skip. I just have fatigue, I guess.
>>58286471The last games I bought and played were USUM>Stopped completely because of the response to the Pokedex being cut was #ThankyouGameFreak.Almost the same for me. Dexit made me lose interest in Pokémon.Though 2 days ago I grabbed my 3DS and played a bit of USUM to see if I still had interest in the games (because I started collecting the TCG again), and nope, I don't miss Pokémon games at all. Maybe it's lack of interest, maybe I just don't care about video games.
>>58286471USUM were the last games full of waifubait. SWSH and SV had some but nowhere near the amount USUM had.Makes sense USUM were the last games with soul because they were the last games to appeal to the Japanese audience before the Disneyfication of the series set in with LGPE and SWSH.
>>58286787I’m pretty similar but I can easily replay anything from gen 6 or earlier. Gen 7 is cutscene hell and gen 8 onwards is slop (and I sold my switch 1 and don’t have a switch 2 so it’s not like I can play that anyway)
>>58284887The "Surprisingly Curvaceous Pirate" is a character from the Aardman Animations film The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists! (released as The Pirates! Band of Misfits in the U.S.). She is a member of the Pirate Captain's crew, who is a woman in disguise, and her true gender goes unnoticed by her pirate shipmates.
>>58286406Based pedochad?She's prolly a hag by now tho
>>58284771It's on Switch 1 too
I don't like many of the practices Gamefreak is taking with this game. It also seems like a pretty low effort entry and I really expected and wanted a higher quality product with the amount of time they had.And why is it Lumiose only?
>>58284672Buying Digimon Time Stranger instead.
>>58284672It's too overpriced for what it offers.>$60 for a game worth $30 at best>paid DLC>paid performance upgrade for the new console>some megas blocked by online subscriptions and PVP seasons
>>58284672It just doesn't look interestingThe megas are cool but so what, I can see them on the internet
>>58284672I expect nothing but shit from Gamefreak and the ugly megas should be a warning sign to you.>>58285381I like Bonnie's feet.>>58286875Teen Bonnie would be hot too.
>>58286991Do you like Bonnie for herself or because she's a child?Teens are fine but why go for it when there's a perfectly fuckable child version?
>>58287004I haven't watched the XY anime and all I really know about her is that she has little sister appeal.
>>58286471You should have at least bought or pirated SM or USUMCutscenes and huge lost potiential aside, the game is worth diving hours into unlike later titles.
>>58286428This
>>58286846Meds
>>58287041Nuh uh
Easiest skip ever since they cant do cities well, set in a region i dont like.>>58286952This. The only reason i'd ever buy a game set entirely within a city, is when you can drive aroundGTA style.
>>58284672Because I want a Legends GS set in 90s/modern/futuristic Goldenrod City.The map doesn't need to be a big open world, but it needs to be dense with layers upon layers to discover like Deus Ex.
>>58284672It’s a plass spinoff
>>58284672I don't want to buy a Switch 2.>inb4 just buy the Switch 1 editionNo.
>>58284672Megas are the only selling point and we'll get them in Champions
>>58284672Several reasons, in no particular order1. I dont own a Switch 2. Too poor to justify the expense, and I've already come to hate Nintendo and the Switch 1.2. It will assuredly run like shit on the Switch 1.3. SV was the final push that convinced me to never give this shitty studio another cent. If I ever play new Pokemon, it will be via emulation.
>>58284672still skeptical if I'll be buying this release, but I will point out my reasoning >The long awkward radio silence between announcement and the first showcase of gameplay>ONE CITY when the core principle of Pokemon is exploring new areas and catching new Pokemon>Announced New Megas that are immediately locked behind Online. >DLC announced before release date that locks new Megas and Hoopa, Legends Arceus at least locked mythicals behind seperate games that you may have bought or at the very least know someone who has one. On the other hand the new Battle system looks awesome. If it's good I hope they make it the norm.
>>58284672I'm not paying 500 dollars for an Xbox 360 and I don't buy games at full price on principle.
>>58284672It looks and feels like a Chinese mobile game
Nope but am skipping Gen x
>>58287068Yuh uh
>>58288977Like SV>>58287418This
I learned my lesson from Scat and Vomit. I'm never preordering a game again.I'm gonna wait and see what it looks like on Switch before buying if I even decide too.
