Is there anything that Gamefreak could do that would make you not buy the next Pokémon game?
yeah
They already did.
>>58400766mega feraligatr
>>58400766AAAAIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>58400766Probably have close ties with Epstein, rape underage girls, militarize law enforcement agencies, lie to the electorate, dodge taxes and make up a medical illness to avoid being drafted and serving their country.
Move to 3D games while still designing regions like a 2D grid-based game
>>58400766Mmm Lida legs
>>58400766ai bullshit
>>58400792That seems oddly specific, was someone at gamefreak actually on Epstein's island?
>>58400766Dexit.I haven't bought a game since US/UM.Best consumer decision I've ever made desu.
>>58400766I'm not getting PLZA so yes, they already did. As for what would make me not get the next main line game, if they changed it to real time slop.
>>58400766This ZA combat is what will do it for me if they don't keep it the fuck away from the rest of the series
>>58400766they did with Let's Go and never saw my money again
>>58400766I haven't bought a Pokemon game in nearly a decade
Hey, jackass, >>>/pol/ is right there. Keep the unrelated politics outta here.
>>58400766>he bought SwSh after dexit>he bought BDSP after everything>she bought SV after the performance
I haven't bought a game since gen 5
>>58400766i havent bought one of the games since sun/moonthat was the final straw for me
>>58400799AI would make better games thoughever.
I'm already leaning towards not buying this current one but... Removing turn-based gameplay from its games entirely, completely removing or continuing to neglect many of the other Pokémon that could use a buff (not just what's new and/or popular), never letting us use our own Pokémon to remove obstacles or move around the map again, etc. Bunch of little stuff like that would probably make me start to think about if I'd want to buy any of the future games.
>>58400766I haven't bought a single dogshit pokemon game since the 3DS
>>58400950Coincidentally the last time I gave them money too. I would have bought USUM but they disappointingly barely changed/added anything compared to B2/W2 so I skipped it. Then Dexit happened and I never bought a Game Freak game again.
>>58400821ditto
You are years late anon
>>58400792But enough about Unova
>>58400766Like many people, I haven't bought a Pokemon game since the marvelous HGSS in 2009. Not paying for mediocrity. Unfortunately GameFreak is rich because 95% of people on the planet are idiots who don't value their money and accept everything indiscriminately (even if it's dangerous or low quality). This applies to more than just video games obviously.I keep up with the scene looking at all the new Pokemon designs, playing Smogon and watching YouTubers play through the games every 3 years.I did buy Palworld immediately though. It's basically what us Pokemon fans have been waiting for all this time.Anyway, Game Freak has been getting mogged by fangames for years, that's why they keep shutting them down.
>>58400766After Sword / Shield and Scarlet / Violet, I’m already planning on skipping it. They need to fight to get me back if anything. I don’t want any more open world games and the games can’t come out half baked anymore.
>>58400821BASED
nah probably not, i still have more fun with every mainline entry than i do with the majority of video games. they're sloppy, but it's comfort food
>>58400766The designs have really gone downhill. Stuff like Mega Victreebel is fine, but shit like Mega Starmie ain't it. Unless Gen 10 improves, ZA might be my last non-hacked game.
>>58400766Sexo
>>58400766Micro transactions.
>>58400766They did, back in SWSH.
>>58400766Have the gym challenges based on WEF thematics like gender equality and climate change
>>58400766It being getting a physical attack spread is a greater atrocity than the model desu. Starmie doesn't even have physical moves in its fucking learnset. What am I supposed to do? Use only waterfall? It doesn't even have zen headbutt. Whoever decided physical Starmie needs to kill themself.
>>58400766I'm not buying this one. I emulated it, and I won't finish it.
>>58400766Make it set in Galar
what's with the /pol/ posting in this thread?is this a hot new meme I'm not aware of?
>>58400821I made an exception for PLA
I skipped SS and only bought Violet because I wanted to use my Switch 2. If anything, they have to convince me to buy anything that isn't Legends.
If they do scrap turn based combat in Gen X I'm fucking out. I don't mind it in a little spinoff game like this but the mainline games better stay turn based.
>>58403207/pol/ has always infested 4chan as a whole.
>>58400766The real question is if they could do anything to make me want to buy it. The answer is no.
>>58400766Make shitty Megas.....oh wait
>>58400766I haven't bought a pokemon game since dexit, unlike you fags some anons actually do stick by their values, however autistic they may be.
>>58400766I already haven't even pirated their garbage since USUM, let alone bought any of it. So I guess lying about "Ultra Changes" and completely wasting Alola's potential as a region was that last straw for me.
>>58400821Yep. Pokemon is about using your favorite funny little guys, why take that away?
>>58400792>rape underage girlsPokemon is the underage girlfucker franchise thoughbeit
>>58403839So true bestie
Well, I don't have a Switch or a Switch 2 and I haven't played post-gen 6 games, so it's actually the easiest thing.
>>58400784literally this. They fucked up their selling point for me. I'm only still using this board out of sad addiction
>>58400818He's complaining about trumpLiberals who demonized drafted people who had no choice in going to Vietnam now complain about trump having a fucky ankle keep him out of Vietnam.
>>58400766I dont buy a game since Sun
>>58400766Haven't played any of the Switch Pokemon games yet, still have no drive to, so, uh, "do nothing", I guess?Hell, I've got a Switch Lite with Sword and PLA on it within arm's reach and I still have no drive to boot either game (except maybe PLA. I dunno.)The dex cut was probably the "fuck no" moment for me.Moving to a "real" console was supposed to make the games bigger, more complex, wider, deeper, give us real animations, etc., but SwSh came out and instead we LOST Pokemon for the first time since, what, BW1? And we lost a lot of them too.>lost a bunch of moves>lost Refresh(/Amie) for a vastly worse system>lost the ability to turn off EXP Share>lost half the options menu behind a "secret" NPC for some reason>the overall graphical fidelity got WORSE than a 3DS game somehow>the plot was one of the worst of the franchise>the gen's gimmick was stupid>the "evil team" is probably the worst of the franchise>the Wild Area was a dumb gimmick meant to pad out an F-tier map>the prices went up AND it got "real" DLCs (meaning the "third version" now costs $100)Bonus: literally all my favorite Pokemon were cut, it's like TPC intentionally decided to gut me specifically. They brought back a couple in the DLCs though. ;_;What did the move to Switch even give us? Smoother online... I guess? Higher screen res and the ability to play on a TV?
>>58400766>Is there anything that Gamefreak could do that would make you not buy the next Pokémon game?they already did with SWSH>only half the mons available to use and the worst retarded gimmick in the seriesI only came back to SV because it has 90% of my favs available and a decent gimmick
>>58400766I don't think I'll buy the next game.I'm only buying this because of megas.
>>58400766Seems to be a common opinion in this thread, but if they outright replace turn-based combat then I'm out. Don't mind Legends and such being experimental and changing things up, but if the non-Legends mainline games become real-time like what all of these "I don't like turn-based therefore no one likes turn-based" fuckwits online seem to relentlessly want then I'm not buying it.Willing to give PLZA a go, but it already looks to me like Spectrobes 2.0 which I wasn't really the biggest fan of gameplay-wise. (Sorry, Spectrobes enjoyers.)
>>58400766skimpier outfits for boys
>>58400766Keep on doing what they are doing because I haven't bought a pokemon game since diamond and pearl.
If you didn't permanently lose interest in playing those games after seeing the drop in quality from gen V to gen VI, then I don't know what's wrong with you. I barely got to the grass gym in Y and I'll never touch any Pokemon game ever again.
>>58403500You haven't bought a Pokemon game since Gen 6? Based.
>>58403663>mega skarmory dot jaypeg
>>58400766Gen6 was my last gen. After that I only played romhacks. Gen2 being my first gen and gatr being my first starter, I was curious to see how its mega would turn out...and seeing that piece of shit just reaffirmed my desicion to never play one again.
>>58400766Have less than 6 new Pokemon that I like. If I can't make a new Pokemon team of interest then count me out.
>>58400792You are Jewish and transgender
>>58400766Already did. My plan has been to exit the series with Z-A for a while. I expect it to run like shit, and I'm sure they couldn't have been bothered to include farmable ribbons / marks for any of my bros. Not buying a Switch 2, so the future of the series really doesn't matter to me anymore.
>>58400821One day there will be another game with all the pokemon in it.
If Gen X doesn't have any sort of battle facility again like Gen 9 I'm fucking out. I was so pissed when Indigo Disk came out, was focused on battling but did not have even a basic bitch battle tower.
>>58400766The last mainline game I bought was Sun and Moon. The answer is removing the dungeons and exploration. Sun and Moon's world design sucked so much ass man.
>>58403207Gen 10 is going to have 18 gym challenges loosely based on some esg goals or whatever because Ohmori is overly sentimental and gay so now everyone thinks pokemon is a jewish conspiracy lmao
>>58407374I still can't believe they copy pasted the XY facility into ORAS then made a spiteful joke about the Battle Frontier being cut. ORAS is such a mean spirited game for some reason and I bet it's because the devs were insecure about the quality
>>58403561I just wish they hadn't fucking lied about it and made up easily falsifiable shit about animations and models. I can't respect that.
>>58400766>Is there anything that Gamefreak could do that would make you not buy the next Pokémon game?Yeah release gen 8 the shitty designs were enough to keep me from ever buying a pokemon game again
>>58400821I can deal with most of the flaws Pokémon has but this was truly an unforgivable sin
>>58403663Yeah why did Gen 3 take the ability to use my first Charizard away?
Stop with the shitty joke designs and make pokemon cool again. It's gotten so bad I miss the spikes and edgyness
>>58407517wait I understood the question the wrong way around fuck
>>58407517The "Choker" line on Charizard's neck here got me
Dexit but was already offended by the 3ds ones.>>58407334With ai its inevitable. A fan will use it to make a mod or all of society will eventually discard the assblasted brainwashing over it and the devs use it. Or they use it and dont tell anyone.
>>58406591I hated XY, but I'm not so unreasonably strict to just drop entire series at the first sign of adversity. I gave them a couple more chances and they lost me with USUM.
every new mega design has been so atrocious, so offensively subpar, that I'm tempted to say the entire gimmick of mega evolution should be put to rest.maybe Mega Chimecho will bring redemption and salvation
>>58400792Ghetsis won
