When it comes to videos like this, do you think they'll have an impact on the series or no? I've noticed in the past 3 years people have gone harder on fandom wars than ever and people root for certain series to fail (mostly Nintendo fans hating on non-Nintendo fans and vice versa)When will people chill out? Even the SwSh era wasn't this intense.
>>58475882And before anyone says its isolated, just search "Legends ZA bad" on youtube and you'll find a laundry list of videos. And I find it funny since the game isn't *that* bad. I get SwSh and SV getting hate, it's understandable. But this game is at bare minimum a 7/10, it's a competent game that's a decent time.https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=pokemon+legends+za+bad
>>58475882ZA is selling 40% less than Arceus so far.Slowly by slowly Pokemon is losing all good will they have build. With the recent leaks, we know that they keep the model of releasing 1 game a year. This shit is not sustainable. Especially with the small manpower and funding.
>>58475882No. SwSh should’ve showed you that this is all just for trend chasing
>>58475896ZA is fucking shit, not even gonna sugarcoat it. It's 2025 and it's one of the ugliest games to look at.
>>58475902This was proven false. Spanish numbers just came out and it was #1 again and also sold really really well. UK was just an outlier, most likely because the economy is especially awful there, and a lot of people are short on money
>>58475882>do you think they'll have an impact on the series or no?Oh yes, absolutely, anon! Just like all other similar videos that came before it these last few years!>it's a competent game that's a decent timeAnd it's still not worth 70 bucks. Which is one of the reasons people are angry about it.
>>58475882It won't have an impact. Dramasloptubers mostly just moved onto video games for some reason and we have the current meta as a result. Issue is it makes video game discourse even more toxic than ever since it makes already defensive Nintendo and Pokemon fans even more riled up and defensive. And non-fans buy it anyway. So all it does it just stir the pot and make people more angry than ever.The only way to win is to ignore all the noise and play/enjoy what you want and what looks cool to you. Simple as that.
>>58475921It's not proven false, you are literally coping right now.
>>58475917Like that means shit when SV exists
>>58475882Did they have an impact on Mario Kart World? No. Did they have an impact on Switch 2 overall? No. When Capcom put out a statement they were pleased with Switch 2 sales data, Nintendeen made a video coping about how Capcom were secretly lying. These videos will quietly fade away into the ether once full sales for the first six months of the Switch 2's lifespan is available.
>>58475943SV is better than ZA
>>58475941ZA is number one in the UK charts, if ZA is 40% down, then it's likely everything else is facing a similar decline in physical sales at the same time.
>>58475940/thread
>>58475962Okay that's nice but it's still uglier, which was my point
>>58475896my friends that are total pokeshills have all mostly admitted ZA isn't good, but that they have to consume all poke media. like even the die hards are no longer passionate
>>58475917>ITS THE UGLIEST GAME EVERi swear people are overreacting. the game has graphical shortcomings for sure sure but the art direction is serviceable and even pretty at times. nowhere near as experience ruining as SV or legends.
>>58475882Just downvote/ignore channel and move on. I love angry video game reviews as much as the next guy but all these are just people trying to leech off of pokemons popularity with bait.
>>58475959Oh, now that's funny.
>>584758821. Do not watch the video.2. If the video has been recommended to you by Youtube, click either "Not Interested" or "Don't Recommend Channel"3. Importantly, do not open the video without playing it just to downvote. That is engagement, and not the solution.
>>58475959I don't care about Switch 2 sales, only Pokemon since I like Pokemon and not Nintendo stuff other than Smash Bros and Mario Kart sometimes
>>58475983Not even french people defend ZA.
>>58475882It already has negatively impacted the mental health of the game glazers'
>>584759981. Watch the video2. Hit subscribe3. like and comment.
>>58476022and don't forget to use your HYPE like a good little sheep ;)
>>58475882What does Miyamoto even have to do with Pokemon?
>>58475902Everything physical showed downtrens this year in EU and UK. Yotei from the opposite camp also saw 40% down from Tsushima.>>58475882Youtube is one big algo clusterfuck, it easily feed into echo chamber, for people who want confirmation bias.
>>58475882That video is probably rage bait, also plza isn't even that good, I'd say SV were worse though, the pro lem is the games have been consistently not good or middling, even if the next game is slightly better it will probably get worse backlash anyways as people are still getting progressively more fed up unless they outright make a 10/10 Yeah they're loads of grifters but doesn't change the fact that the quality comtrol has been terrible, along with the games also getting more expensive making even harder to justify buying another okay at best game.
>>58476049can't find the button.
>>58476090PS5's digital ratio is a lot larger than Nintendo's though
>>58476090Here's the thing positive videos on ZA are getting hammered with dislikes.
>>58476075Nothing. But people associate Pokemon with Nintendo, and Nintendo is le big bad lately.
>>58476125Yeah because negativity is more powerful than the opposite. Just like how most satisfaction surveys get more negative responses on average since people are more likely to voice something if they feel negatively
>>58476128It's not really just Nintendo. I can search anything and you can find an army of haters for it.https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=ghost+of+yotei+bad
Honestly this console generation just sucks, I don't like Switch 2, PS5 or Xbox. They all suck and I hate them.
>>58476128Miyamoto doesn't even have the sway in Nintendo that the internet likes to pretend he has.
>>58475882We have got to stop acting like youtube grifters represent anything, and that goes for both the glazers and the haters. The cycle of>someone makes a hate video -> fan gets pissed off -> game does well -> fans then launch a counter offensive where they attack whoever they determine the opponent to beWhen it comes to Z-A it'll probably be attacking Digimon Time Stranger since the grifters used that game in their vids despite knowing nothing about it
>>58476136> Bro it's just negativity bias getting 60% dislikes for saying a video game is good is totally normal.
>>58476175Yes? Because angry people are more likely to go out of their way to dislike a video
>>58475882Do better Miyamoto!!!
>>58476184He can't hear us anymore... You were to late anon...
>>58476182most youtube videos get 2% dislikes.
>>58476090Everything is downtrending because EVERYTHING IS EXPENSIVE NOW
This wouldn't have happened if they added male pregancy to the pokemon franchise.
>>58476234Keep your eyes peeled for Gen 10
>world’s ugliest piece of media, causes millions of men to have spastic fits because of the windows >literally everything is a single model like how we’re all components of the Brahman>can’t even get to the gameplay because of how revolting the windows are, I’m literally shaking right now>$120 + DLC + tax + tip, basically the price of the console itself >universally panned, 0/10 Metacritic average, worst review scores of all timeYikes Nintendo. Do better.
