>non-legends is directed at kids/casuals, left is the most you’ll ever get>legends is directed at more experienced players, you get right and more
I did. Probably skipping Winds & Waves but will get Legends Galar.
>>58741777Canari is the only sexualized character in PLass 2, thought
>>58741823
>>58741777I'm not playing some other shit game just because Nemona is ugly. I learned my lesson, I will not buy it anyways anymore.
>>58741831Do not lewd the Espurr you weirdo
I wish she got the same push and marketing Cannoli is getting.....
>>58741777I'd rather kill everyone who thinks e-cancer shit for subhumans belongs in the Pokemon world.
>>58741777They're both poorly-made baby games, it's just that your (already low) standards disappear when the box says "Legends" on it because they did one or two superficially different things while gutting the rest of the game.
>>58741839A cat is fine too.
>>58741860diaper pants
>>58741860>sub-leaderDoomed from the start. Same reason why Gwynn is getting jackshit despite being the most popular female character after Canari.
>>58742551Jacinthe is worse thought, she looks like a person's donutsteel
>>58742555>Gwynn is getting jackshitShe has the second-most fanart and is only behind Canari, what
>>58742576I mean officially, in response to anon wishing Lebanne got the same marketing push as Canari. You can't even get the sub-leader outfits in the DLC.
>>58741777I liked SV better than ZA.
I'm sorry but ZA hardly feels like an adventure. Absolutely nobody is going to remember that game or get nostalgic for it. At least LA had the beautiful artstyle and a cool OST. ZA has a coomer character or two, that's it. Nice fucking legacy kalosperms.
ZA is just made by Scarlet guys led by the little town hero directorI will wait till Iwao returns with Legends Galar
>>58741777Legends fans are literally unable to talk about anything other than sex sex sex, it's directed at people who care more about the characters and porn than about the actual fucking game.
Porn addict thread
I just want official art of herEven the SV gym leaders got official art and they barely did anything in SV
>>58742953?
NO I MEAN LEBANNE NOT THAT INDUSTRY PLANT
>>58741777My nephew plays both, they're both casual baby shit. I don't play either.
>>58742975and what do you play anon?
>>58742972How was I supposed to know that without context lolShe'll get a TCG card eventually at the very leastThe SV teachers also never got official splash art fyi
>>58742982>The SV teachers also never got official splash art fyiDendra not gettin oficial art is criminal
>>58741801>galarI forgot that shite was getting a legends game, wind and waves might actually be better
>>58741777I wish nothing but the worst for whatever rating board is responsible for no games being allowed to acknowledge cleavage existing. Fuck this monoboob world.
>>58741777this: >>58741866I’m sick of streamers in real life. Seeing that fucking trash represented in the pokemon world is fucking cringe, what the fuck is tpc thinking? Not everyone is stupid enough to clap for e-trash.
>>58743889>what the fuck is tpc thinking?Raking in cash and making wise business decisions. Iono and Camaro are among the most popular characters from their respective games.
>>58743888It's CERO
>>58743898The last time I checked, Iono didn't even rank in the top 5 most popular characters in japan; you're confusing forcing something with real popularity.
>>58743911These characters aren’t aimed at the same people as those polls. They’re aimed at the big incredibly causal and slightly older broad audience.
>>58743911You mean the poll for the magazine whose readers are like 80% female? You know that's not indicative of the whole fandom, right?
>>58743898>>58743889If Pokemon was smart, they would make a vtuber out of Canari
>>58743898correlation /= causation>IonoLiterally the only one straightforwardly designed to look like a young cute anime girl in a game full of uggos>CanariYoung, sexy, dresses in trendy style. Gwynn is cute and popular too, just held back a bit by her silly hat and smaller role, and Emma is fairly popular too albeit a bit plain.The only thing streamer/e-whore shit has to do with this is that the occupation necessitates being young and attractive, qualities which people can have in other fields.Lillie and Marnie are already examples of waifus who rake in cash without being streamers, and Marnie is a nothing character
>>58743911Most popularity polls are from women-consumed sources, so naturally someone like Iono isn't going to rank high, while boys like Kieran and women who caused lesbian awakenings like Rika will get high rankings.
>>58743973Marnie isn’t popular, she just has whale fans. You’re never going to hear your casual coworker mention Marnie.
>>58743986Well, yes, because that would make him look like a pedophile. You're not gonna hear anyone talk about Pokemon characters period in the workplace because it's a children's franchise, so even if you were talking about how hot Lusamine is, you'd get weird looks.
>>58741777>play through SV 7 times dlc included in each playthrough>struggling to find it in myself to even finish the ZA dlcNah, za is shit tier. It's a better idea for a game with better characters and general art style, but it's buried under so much bullshittery
>>58744000The sidequests really bog down ZA's pace into an absolute slog, so many unnecessary dramatic pauses, zooms and retarded facial expressions, and you HAVE to do at least some of them if you want all the Mega Stones, because some Mega Stone sidequests in Mega Dimension simply don't unlock until you do.
>>58742931Erm, porn-addict board. Site, even.
>>58743924>>58743947>>58743979If your shitty, forced character can’t even beat one of the most hated rivals at the peak of her own generation, that proves she’s not only over shilled and forced, but also a complete fucking flop.
>>58743973Gwynn is only relevant because she's the accessory of the shillbait and Emma's debut is older than the average poster here
>>58744014This, it's the same reason Leon is "popular", their popularity hinges entirely on the actually popular character they're most often shipped with.
>>58744012Lolipedobros, why are we such losers?
>>58743991Well the issue here is that you assume nobody could like her unless they’re a coomer. Which is true but also disqualifies her from being popular since Pokemon is an incredibly casual franchise and coomers are only a fraction of it.I had a talk about Maëlle from E33 with a coworker a while back without either of us being anwkward and the difference is that the character has more going for her than just being pedobait.
>>58744035Yes, because E33 is an artsy game for an older audience that also won Game of the Year, therefore it's socially acceptable to talk about in public because it's basically the same as talking about a TV show, movie, song or book.Pokemon is, again, a children's franchise. They're incomparable simply because of that stigma.
>>58744012This image will never cease to be funny.
>>58744044You’re living a decade in the past the social stigma revolving around Pokemon is gone. A lot of millennials who grew up with the games are in their 30’s now and it doesn’t have a significantly worse reputation than other Nintendo IPs in that regard.I’ve talked about Pokemon with another coworker but we were talking about our teams and not characters though.
>>58744012HIS franchise
>>58744059The stigma applies to its characters and stories, is what I mean. Because the majority cast are children, and the stories are meant to be digestible to toddlers, no normalfag is going to take them seriously, so at best you'll be seen as autistic or a little bit of a manchild, at worst you'll be seen as a pedophile.
>>58744012Anon are you retarded? The fact that Iono even MADE that list speaks for her popularity.
>>58744067Well yeah, but the assumption here is that everyone is hiding their power level and aren’t actually just that casual. If my coworker had said “I kind of liked that Larry guy, he was funny” I wouldn’t necessary think he was lying or that it would be a weird thing to say.My point being that casuals are fans as well and a character like Marnie doesn’t have a wide appeal in that regard.
>>58744044>E33 is an artsy gamelol>for an older audiencelolmao
>>58742667>At least LA had the beautiful artstyle and a cool OST.Also expands on the setting in an interesting way. Whoever the clown was who thought it would be a good idea to have a legends game set 5 years after some of the most forgettable games to date in a single city ought to get fired.
>>58744095That's the perception the general public has because it won The Game Awards, which is a platform that takes the "games are art" approach, yes.It doesn't matter if it's actually a game that's even more diarrhea for babies than Pokemon is, the masses believe it to be a mature, artful game.
>>58741839
>>58744099Little Town Hero’s flop was living rent free in GF’s head. Someone in the office was dead set on making “RPG set in a single city” work. The really silly thing is that it’s not even a novel idea, it’s just a bad fit for Pokemon.
>>58744104>Someone in the office was dead set on making “RPG set in a single city” work.In all fairness thats basically what the persona series is. ZA and LTH are horrible because they dont capitalize on their premise whatsoever so it would've made no difference if the games were set in a single city or an open map, so the city limitation ends up being arbitrary. A pokemon game set in a city could work, granted the city, characters inhabiting it, and scenarios were actually interesting, but theyre not and being set in a city magnifyies those weaknesses tenfold.
>>58744119Yeah, but even Persona concedes that a city alone isn't enough and offers fantastical otherworldly dungeons for you to explore and advance the supernatural plot in (Tartarus in P3, TV World in P4, Mementos + Palaces in P5).Conceptually, Hyperspace Lumiose should've been on this level, a complete mindfuck of surrealist exploration, but instead it's just copypasted bits from the normal city set through a hue shift + selective desaturation, and when you AREN'T in the city, you're in a generic mishmash mountain, and everywhere else interesting you can only visit a limited number of times per game before it's back to the copypasted city.
This might be an unpopular opinion on a Pokemon board but GTA is the only franchise that does city-exclusive exploration well.
>>58744012>bort botted postopinion discarded
>>58742667>plass>Beautiful artstyleAh yes, Monster hunter freedom unite on mobile. Truly the best artstyle
>>58742931This franchise is porn addicted
>>58744261Funny, when I started playing Z-A and doing the early missions, my initial reaction was this felt like playing a bad and really basic version of GTA
>>58744012All e-cancer is shit and forced, I hope the faggots on TPC learn that they can't force popularity.>>58743973>subhuman simp faggot with micro cock thinks that generic shit manufactured and forced to be popular is good.kys.
>>58742931lmao since when ZA is coomer friendly?
>>58744665Why are you so aggro man
>>58744671>let your monster catching franchise be infected with modern cancer whose main consumers are nu-males that should have been abortedIt's probably the weather
>>58744137Hell, if they wanted a good "RPG in a city" game, they should've copy Demon Summoner, and run with that.Fuck the hotel team, fuck the town BR. You are a dude hired to keep wild Pokémon and dangerous criminals in check. You could've made some creepy places to show that the main line MC sees everything with child wonder, meanwhile (you) see the city for what it is: a place with both gorgeous and horrible sights, and you walk in both places like if you were crossing the street.
>>58744691>NOOOO they can't put modern stuff into the franchise that always appeals to young people!!Buddy I'm 34 so I don't care about vtubers and shit either but you're fucking retardedIf you don't want to see things people with kids then stay the fuck away from Pokémon you absolute moron
>>58744806*things popular with kids
>>58741777I don't like right, she's a shit character and annoying.Gen 9 is a fucking monkey paw for my favorite type. Two of the worst reps of it ever, yet my favorite got a mega.
>>58744012>N higher than everyone else put togetherAs he should be
>>58744811Vtubers aren't popular with kids theyre popular with porn addicts with far too much disposable income(which is also pokemon's new target demographic, unfortunately)
>>58744261For whatever reason most games set in cities put no emphasis into exploration whatsoever. Even GTA clones like watchdogs hyperfocus on sand box elements over making an environment with a lot of stuff to do or interact with
>>58745204Even modern GTA has this issue. GTA V mostly.In most older games, you could put these issues into "the technology is limited", but many programmers were clever back then.GTA 3? Put some "hidden" side missions and the whole hidden items sidequest.GTA VC? Leave some open areas you didn't programmed or was cut, and add easter eggs inside them.San Andreas? Probably the best: you have girlfriends, gang wars, side jobs, hidden side jobs, gyms, secret items, tags, tourism photographies, easter eggs. Even going to the tallest mountain in the game let you play a small sport race. Everywhere had something fun to do or find.GTA Stories are more like expansions from the original games, so you can replay missions now.GTA 4 started to show some mistakes, but even the side games have interesting things: in 4 you had places to hangout in (most) of the islands, Lost and Damned gave you a crew that could improve and bike races where you could kick or drop your opponent, and in the Ballad of Gay Tony you had super races and air drops.In GTA V, most of these things are just dropped around the map with no care, and finding 10 of the 100 items no longer gives you cool rewards (just like how 4 only gave you a helicopter after killing the 200 birds). And there's only one or two places to hangout. Want to play darts? Have fun driving all the way to the one place in the middle of nowhere with the only dart board (GTA 4 had 3: one in Dukes, another in Algonquin, and if you had the Playboy X crib you unlocked a third one).Most sandbox games are no longer fun to lose yourself. The only thing close are the Yakuza games, but those focus in one neighbourhood and not an entire city.
>>58745199Wow. You're so fucking out of touch with reality, it's both hilarious and kinda sad
>>58744101The perception was that is a EU5 slop and the general public only saw an AA Game that won the indie awards and art awards against Silksong or Hades.Also a industry plant which father gave him free money to do his rpg
>>58745805No he's right. The younguns are into streamers like iShowSpeed but this is a very streamer culture to vtumors which are basically e-idols (jap idol culture is primarily consumed by middle-aged pedophilic failed men).
