Reality/truth don't matter to modern pokefags they'll come to believe they're being persecuted for having low standards
At some point, to them - it becomes a taboo to enjoy an incomplete mediocre cash grab
And as a transgressive group/defenders of mediocrity they form a feeling brotherhood/belonging among themselves
I used to think it was solely the idea of the sunken cost fallacy at play but now I believe this can only explain some of the behavior I see
I possibly perceive this in other groups of people
Pokemon I think - is just another manifestation of this

The people who defend the state of modern Pokémon are like women who rate 6/10 in attraction - and semi regularly get fucked by Chad while holding on to the delusion that the relationship between them is a supportive and loving one
Chad/thePokemonCompany need only text once a month so he can tell the girl/pokefan to take them to the movies/buy the game
Being in her luteal phase of the month/sentimental cycle of nostalgia - the woman/pokefan overwhelmed by tingles - trips over themselves to cancel all of their plans to make the date happen and they gladly pay any amount asked of chad/thePokemonCompany
After the movie/purchasing the new slop, Chad/thePokemonCompany proceeds to sodomize the woman/pokefan in theater parking lot
Chad/thePokemonCompany - is further empowered/disgusted by the stark absence of self respect from the girl/pokefan
The woman/pokefan ends up having to call an Uber
On the ride back home - anus still pulsating/throbbing - the girl/pokefan daydreams and reminiscences about all the goofy goober adventures chad/thePokemonCompany has provided/ass pulled for them
The dumb slut/pokefaggot - exhausted - passes out on the bed satisfied
But not before creating an account for the user media rating website - Metacritic - and rating Pokémon Legends Arceus ZA a 10/10

I am pretty easy to please when it comes to pokemon. I even enjoyed Scarlet/Violet. But this game is so devoid of everything I enjoy about pokemon that I really think that anyone who is saying its good is either retarded, a child, or a shill.

It's a completely lifeless game. The city is small and everything looks the same. Every rooftop and alleyway have the exact same features. The wild zones are a joke. They're so small that you can clear them 100% in less than 5 minutes each and again, the majority of them look exactly the same. There's no exploration or discovery. You're not going to find a cool pokemon, mega stone, or TM tucked back in some obscure corner, its nothing but mega shards and worthless items. The battle system is alright at first but gets old pretty quick and is super janky.


The city thing is so half assed and retarded too. At one point they obviously set out to make it a realistic city you're exploring. That's actually a cool and unique idea for the franchise too. But at some point they also just said fuck it and quit putting in effort. Having one park in the city covered in snow makes no sense. Having on park full of salamence and bagon makes no sense. They easily could have fixed issues like this with a little bit of creativity but they seem allergic to that.

Slop usually refers to a cheaply mass-produced product, which this is, based on its lack of polish and detail. However "slop" is rapidly turning into shorthand for "thing I don't like".

They already had the time and budget. I agree with one anon about hiring better programmers.

But the bigger problem is not the game, it's the toxic portion of the modern fanbase, especially Tubers (god forbid those ragebait recommendations).

The biggest issue is the engine. They are still using a modified 3DS engine for running HD open world games. Not to mention getting new hires to learn it is a nightmare.
At this point even Unreal Engine 5 would yield better results

Anon the budget is 13 million. They're keeping it low to maximize profits. We don't need Spider-Man 2's ridiculous 300 million dollar budget, but for fuck sake invest a few dollars into making sure the fucking wall textures line up or so the mountains in SV don't look like they're from an early PS2 game. You can make a game with a reasonable budget that doesn't look and play like dogshit.

because I want the franchise to get better, and it never will if people keep spending their money on slop. GF isn't encouraged to put in more effort if they keep making money on low effort games, which affects me because I want to play higher quality Pokemon games.
not that hard to understand.

>Why do you care what people do with their own money?
Pokemon doesn't exist in a vacuum you mouth breather enabling them to get away with this sort of crap inevitably trickles down to the rest of the industry. AAA games are already slop now we're heading towards slop that doesn't even look appealing and runs like dogshit while charging a premium because pokemon normalized this crap

I don't understand how anyone can call ZA "slop" when it's one of the most soulful games we've had so far. There's so many details that make it clear they poured a lot of love into it and took their time to polish it.
>Buh-buh-but this one specific corner in the city has a weird looking texture!!
Every single game has shit like this. It doesn't invalidate everything else.

I hate them both honestly. Disingenuous outrage farming content mills and dicksucking poketubers. Nobody has a level headed take its just full retard on either side.

You have "people" genuinely, unironically, without any shred or irony or contrarianism, defending garbage like mega Starmie, Toilet lid and Victreebel. It's unironically over for now that GF knows they can do even less than the bare minimum and will still have hordes of manchildren defending them.

Just be in lockstep with the movement bro. Just do what we say. Our officially-authorized games consist of rom hacks and emulation. We do NOT approve of this game. You will NOT play it. Got it?
>>
>>58468349
Dude, just get with the movement man. Sometimes you gotta compromise on what you like to get what you need. Being in the anti-Nintendo movement helps give you views and advertisers so you can make airing your opinions into a career. Don’t you want to make it big as an influencer?
>>
Even Z-A itself makes fun of the kind of consoomer in OP. There's a dude saying how much he can get away with charging for coffee, and NPC taking the piss out of people who liked to speculate about XY's mysteries, NPCs who soi out over shinies and so on..
>>
>>58468349
>took their time to polish it
How can you say this with a straight face? It isn't an isolated instance of one texture. The game looks cheap all around and on switch 1 you can fall through the fucking floor due to the city not loading in fast enough. That isn't a polished experience
>>
>>58463145
I know, I was shocked too. Might even be smaller than the 'zard.

>>
>>58463295
Good post.
I genuinely enjoyed Legends Arceus and SV, hell I even enjoyed Shining Pearl. I thought the series was finally headed in the right direction but Z-A is definitely a step backwards. There are good aspects to the game of course; it's not completely awful. But it's highly mediocre and half-assed. They're also already asking people to pay up for DLC when the game charges extra for the Switch 2 version that still doesn't look good. It's blatantly bad faith.
>>58463145
Something something pocket monsters
Something something child friendly
Something something we don't understand the appeal of our own creations
Something something if we made it too big then the alpha version would crash the game with no survivors

well you actually have to play the game and not sit on /v/itter all day doomposting with the same 5 images and clips all day to see it.
>>
>>58468728
>It isn't an isolated instance of one texture.
Even if it's 3 or 5, who gives a fuck? It's something that you only notice if you look closely and something that can be fixed in a patch. You'll find stuff like this in every game.
>The game looks cheap all around
It doesn't. It looks completely fine.
>and on switch 1 you can fall through the fucking floor due to the city not loading in fast enough.
I've literally never heard of that. One guy having a freak glitch, probably on emulator is an exception.
>That isn't a polished experience
How convenient of you to ignore all the things that are polished. Almost like you didn't play the game and only saw biased opinion from ragebaiting youtubers.

It’s crazy because you ask these “slop” chimps what their favorite game was and it’s always BW2 or something.
Not only are you still here after 12+ years, but your favorite game is the definition of mid.

The city is the only thing that looks subpar, the models for the characters pokemons and the instances where you go inside a building look good.

Cool analogy, but TPC don't do half of what you wish they did (did you miss Teraleak? It confirmed what everyone with a brain knew already that Game Freak sit at the head of the table, separate and distinct from TPC).

>man born after the establishment of the series was part of the target audience for pokémon once shocker
And he's as much to blame as the afterbirth retard bastards here for not getting Pokémon For Adultz! Because as I keep saying, had you kids had these "standards" as children, they wouldn't have had the success they did have.
