>>58562870XY was good though
>BWI'm not even sure what the cope is here. It's a decent Pokemon game. That's all these things were.>XYJust because I found it mediocre and forgettable didn't mean there weren't good things to it.>LGPELiterally the best Switch games and it's not even fucking close. Ass compared to what came before though? Sure, I'll accept that.>BDSPHe wasn't working with GameFreak anymore. They gave literal animation contractors who weren't well suited to making a mainline game and had only made 2 "games" prior the task of making a Pokemon remake. A director does not make a game alone.I'm not defending BDSP, I'm just pointing out that it literally could not be entirely his fault. There was no DNF situation here.Anyways, congrats on the bait, you got a reaction outta me. Better than the spambot bumped threads/7.
>>58562870>-It was the first 3D game, he was allowed to make mistakes!why? At this point we had 3d games for over 20 years. At best he is an incompetent retard.
>>58562935But he wasn’t an incompetent retard, which is why OP was vague and can’t actually reference any problems with XY.
>>58562870If you're favorite game is a third version, just remember that Masuda laid the foundation for it to even be your favorite game.
>>58562886Xy was revolutionary for being the first ever game made for retarded baby chimps that a mentally deficient baby monkey could beat.
>>58562949That reward goes to Pokemon Black abd Pokemon White, sadly.
>>58562952Bitch I could mash A through gen 1. NONE of these games are particularly hard.
>>58562956No you can't
>>58562960Would you like me to test your hypothesis?
>>58562956Almost correct. All games except for USUM are piss baby easy, meanwhile USUM actually punishes you for mindlessly mashing A at multiple choke point fights from start to finish, and basically demands you build an actual team instead of soloing with your starter.
>>58562940Because XY is a problem. Just like BW and DP and RS and even GS. Masuda's games were the problem, modern Pokemon has been the cureHindsight will be REALLY cruel to Masuda's slop since he kept trying to chase Gen I highs his entire career
>>58562970Yeah, and cat piss is easier to drink than dog diarrhea.I concede I actually did struggle with UM, but I also had a terrible team which hinged on Decidueye. I played blind and didn't know what I was doing.
>>58562971Modern Pokemon wouldn't even exist without Masuda's problems.If he never stepped up to take control of GS after Tajiri threw in the towel because he realized he'll NEVER be cut out for this game development business, Pokemon would've died a pathetic dog's death right then and there.All that funding into promotional material for anime, TCG, spinoffs, etc. all gone to waste, merch that can never be released destined to collect dust in warehouses until it came time to dispose of them, no company would want to work with a bunch of incompetent goons who can't hold up their end of the bargain.
>>58562977Was it worth it if you hate what Pokemon's become? Masuda was holding Pokemon back from its true potential which would've been achieved had it actually been a Nintendo franchise and not hoarded by Game Freak. Ever think about that?>Wah, Game Freak didn't actually want to make Pokemon games. Only Masuda!Perhaps they all realized sooner than later they didn't want to deal with the corporate machine that Masuda dove headfirst into. No fucking wonder they got rid of him
>>58562980Oh, so now suddenly Modern Pokemon isn't "the cure" anymore, it's also dogshit?Make up your damn mind, faggot.
>>58562870>It was the first 3D game, he was allowed to make mistakes!Yes. I believe this.However, shit didn't improve with ORAS.
>>58563014What was there to improve?
>>58562870Even an ordinary goose shits out a golden egg from time to time
>>58562971>modern Pokemon has been the cureCure to what?All of the games you listed were generally the best selling Nintendo games at their times of release, outselling the likes of their contemporary counterparts from Zelda, Smash, Animal Crossing, and even most Mario games. Gen 2 sold more than any GB or N64 game from those franchises, gen 3 did the same vs other GBA and GC games, gens 4 and 5 did the same against everything that wasn't New Super Mario Bros or Mario Kart.In an era where Nintendo has seen unprecedented growth, Pokemon is somehow lagging behind all those series it used to crush. Both SwSh and SV sold less than Mario Odyssey, BotW, Smash Ultimate, and New Horizons. So what exactly was "cured" here?

>>58562870BW was super ambitious and I'm not sure why people hated it so much. But then again they basically took the Kanto dex and made replacements for almost everything.
>>58563288Soft reboot + released at the peak of unironic genwunners + people characterizing the game incorrectly from both sides + the lack of creation leaves only hatred and anger to vent.
>>58562870your underage is showing

>>58562886...said nobody
>>58562870XY largely sucking was because Ohmori took over halfway through development, all the ambitious ideas from the early XY betas died with Masuda leaving. Ohmori himself as we came to find out via the Teraleak admitted he couldn't be arsed to design gym leaders or fights for XY and the pedo faggot didn't add Megas to a single gym leader team in the game and somehow still bitched that Megas not being used in important trainer teams was a problem despite it being his very own ineptitude that made it so, the faggot also fucked up gyms so badly in XY that he wanted to try and get rid of gyms by gen 7, which he also failed due to how much the trials sucked, which convinced him he fucked up yet again and had to try and go out with gym presentation in gen 8, gens 6 through 9 sucking so much dick was entirely Ohmori's fault outside of BDSP and LGPE, which were the last projects Masuda was involved with.We had several generations of Gamefreak running around like idiots without any idea of what the fuck they were doing while being led by a complete fucking retard in Ohmori who didn't understand jack fucking shit and who wanted to shove gimmicks out the door instead of focusing on the one people (contrarians not withstanding) actually liked in Megas. He kept pussifying and simplifying outlined concepts because everything has to be family dramas and sob stories with this faggot, there's truly no one evil in Ohmori's games because hmmmm......T-THERE JUST ISN'T OKAY?!I am not defending Masuda with this shit, his games had a large issue of repetition and people always preferred the third versions because those put actual polish over the rushed jobs Masuda did, Masuda also got Pedohmori out of prison to be his bitch, so he's inherently responsible for shit going sideways even after he left, Masuda is at least the reason we even had Pokemon past gen 1, so for that I commend him at least.
>>58563846Ohmori is great, sexy characters, good story, and fun gameplay. There was no saving XY.
>>58562886On opposite day.
>>58562870BW's regional dex was, in fact, a great idea. It just suffered from the unluckiest possible timing with '90s nostalgia becoming a fad, genwunners deciding they liked Pokemon again and throwing a huge shitfit upon discovering that the series had changed since 1998.Masuda was shitcanned during XY's development, so it's difficult to say how much of the final product actually reflected his original vision for the game.Legpiss and BDSP were throwaway projects that didn't require much directing at all. This is likely why they saddled Masuda with those. He wouldn't have had much of an opening to hurt the developers' precious feefees when most of the work had been done already.From the info we've learned from the leaks as well as just looking at the current quality of the franchise, it's obvious that GF did Masuda dirty. He wasn't flawless by any stretch of the imagination, but he was seemingly the only one there who didn't either actively resent Pokemon or only view it as a cash cow. It's not a coincidence that the post-Masuda games have been a steaming pile.
I liked BDSP's battle tower and gym leader rematches. Putting pokemon in underground was a nice idea. Im also glad they finally actually decided to give trainers items, abilities and good movesets even if it was destroyed by the friendship mechanic that was unable to be turned off. Exp Share is fine. It does suck that the game was piss easy until the league but still exp share isnt a problemI'll criticize bdsp all day but it does have good things
>>58562870Some people are just delusionally hopeful that there's somebody at Game Freak who, if put in charge, will magically save Pokemon and fix everything wrong with Game Freak. Sometimes it's Tajiri, sometimes it's Morimoto, sometimes it's Unno, and because of some out of context snippets from the leaks, now it's Masuda. But there will be no savior. Game Freak is rotten to the core, and all of the above names are still involved in the company's management and are responsible for the way it currently is.
>>58563864>Halfway simulators and cutscene spam are good gameplay>2 to 3 hour long tutorials for an exceptionally simple game>Recycled fucking family drama stories over and over and over and over and over and over again>"Sexy" characters in question are children, because Pedohmori can't help himself>His characters are either fucking garbage Mary Sue cardboard that hogs the spotlight like Lillie or completely fucking retarded and written like ass with ZinniaNobody likes Alola besides pedophiles with no standards.

>>58562870I'm tired of pretending BW is a bad game.
>>58563846>XY largely suckingXY didn’t suck though>Ohmori took over halfway through development,Nice fanfic
>>58563288>BW was super ambitious >>58563875
>>58563846> We had several generations of Gamefreak running around like idiots without any idea of what the fuck they were doing while being led by a complete fucking retard That how game freak has alway been. It just wasn’t notable in early gens because the tech was fairly simple and the videogame industry as a whole hadn’t evolved much outside of a few big names. Even back in Gen 1 just barely manages to squeeze something out of their bungholes, and despite the actual game play being rudimentary at best, they somehow managed to hit lightning in a bottle with the monster designs implemented of the collecting concept while being hard carried by the immense marketing campaign that game along with the games.They were already self destructing by Gen 2 development to the point were Tajiri fucked off, either due to his own laziness or not being able to put up with the utter retardation he was surrounded with. Masuda had to step up and tard wrangle everyone but at that point they has shat the bed so badly that Iwata had to come done from the CEO chair and carry their asses. Which would explain why they hate certain Johtomons so fucking much, they’re taking out their self inflicted frustrations about Gen 2 being the first time Masuda cracked the whip and it being a permanent reminder of Iwata making them all look like retarded bums. > Masuda is at least the reason we even had Pokemon past gen 1, so for that I commend him at least True. This whole thing has been very eye opening. Masuda is far from perfect but it clear he was one of the only ones putting in a effort >>58564995> best villains in the franchise like RoseONE DAY>>58564484> pedophiles with no standards.That’s the average Pokemon fan
>>58564484Trvth nvke
>>58563846The earlier we get rid of Ohmori and the earlier we get Iwao to direct the main series the better.
>>58564999Genwunners are still malding because they had to use Unovan Pokémon in Unova instead if spamming CHARIZARD
>>58567482I still don't understand this argument>Hoenn outright cut the fucker. Needed to wait two years to be able to use it again>It's not available at all until the ass end of the post-game in HGSS, you'd need to transfer from FRLG into DPPl/HGSS just to use it at all>BW you can use it as soon as you get to the post-gameCharizard was more missing in the Masuda era than when the franchise went 3D. If BW was the last straw, maybe it was a bad idea to exclude Pokemon to begin with in Gen III?
>>58567482The Unovan dex sucks, there's very few actually appealing or cool Pokemon early in the game, worst early route rodent, worst regional bird by far, nobody likes the elemental monkeys, I like Lillipup's line but it's not the most interesting Pokemon out there either. The good parts of the dex are way later into the game, the Unovan Bugs are all pretty cool, but Venipede and Whirlipede are pretty shit early on, Leavanny is cute but it's doomed with one of the worst types in the game. And to make things worse a lot of Unovan Pokemon are rehashes of previous Pokemon. Unova has plenty of issues, that is very apparent, you make a retarded argument about "le hecking Kanto mons", but people didn't complain as much back in the day about the Hoenn dex despite it also being severely lacking, although not devoid of, earlier generation Pokemon, that's because the Hoenn dex despite having issues has a lot of very solid designs in general, even the most mediocre earlier gen Pokemon are leagues better than literal trash, ice cream and gears, nobody besides irony poisoned retards like Garbodor, Klinklang or Vanilluxe, meanwhile I've seen plenty of people both old and new who love mons like Muk and Magnemite, compare Vanillite to Snorunt and it becomes very quickly apparent which is the better design, hell, even Cryogonal, another gen 5 Pokemon, is far superior to the ugly piece of crap that is Vanilluxe, and therein lies another issue with Unova, EVERYTHING EVOLVES FAR TOO FUCKING LATE. There hasn't been a singular fucking region before it where half the fucking dex evolves at level fucking 50, at the literal end of the game, you want a Hydreigon? Too bad. You want a Braviary or Mandibuzz? Too bad. You want a Mienshao? Too bad. You want a Bisharp? Too bad. You want a Volcarona? Too fucking bad kid. You zoomers keep bringing up retarded arguments and made up boogeymen.
>>58567730All I'm going to say before this thread dies is that there wasn't a game before Gen 5 where half of the NEW dex was only available in the latter half of the game...
