69% minus Nintendo Bonus = 49% on Metacritic.Why are critics so particularly opposed to Pokémon and everything related to it? It feels like forever since Snoys didn't try to smear our games.This is a 100$ videogame. Clearly anyone who bought it is already thoroughly invested in the franchise. There is no need for all of this hate.I wish the next Pokémon game won't even be reviewed by anyone. Clearly it does not matter because critics will hate it anyway and fans will buy it anyway.
>>58767594>I wish the next Pokémon game won't even be reviewed by anyone.Sounds exactly like someone who wants to silence valid complaints.
SV destroyed goodwill for the franchise bros...
>>58767684>SV out of nowhere You got raped
The game is fucking awful. I'm surprised it's even that high.
game critics only like walking sim and other story driven shovelwares with barely any gameplay. That’s why their favorite Pokémon games are bw and pla
>>58767594ZA is horseshit
>>58767684Yep, even normies outside of the fanbase found out how shit SV was and shat all over how terrible it was
za's dlc is the biggest pile of slop pokemon has ever put out, and thats saying something
>>58767594Game Freak should get sued how much of a rip off this dlc was
New mythicals to OT and balltism? NiceEverything else? Absolute dog shit grind fest in the same three pale reused asset rooms. ...If they can even be bothered to reuse assets - poor Volcanion.I'm writing a program to auto reset donuts to try and get my money's worth out of this trash, but if you aren't as obsessed with a living shiny dex as I am, there is nothing of value here.
>>58767594>Nintendo bonus>snoysGo back to /v/eddit and stay there
This dlc was so shit, discussion didn't even last a week, like the other dlc's
>>58767775>ripoffI open up a critic and they say that 'not even blood & wine from Witcher 3 was 30 dollars, and blood & wine had half a game worth of content and bla bla bla'Like fuck you. If you want to play these other games that you claim are so awesome, go play them. Stop pestering Pokémon fans because our games do not feel the need to satisfy "industry standards". Go play Expedition 33. Go play Dragon Age then. Leave us alone.>>58767596Yes, I want to silence complaints. Why? Because it is just noise at this point. Legends ZA sold 10+ million copies despite horrible reviews. That is a clear sign that nobody cares what reviewers have to say.I am tired of pretending that we should.Reviewers want Pokémon to be "up with industry standards". Since when Pokémon was up with industry standards? There hasn't been a single good game in a long time.This is a baby game and needs to be trated as such. If nobody is taking these "critics" seriously, we should just call them for what they are, which are people trying to make money off the Pokémon name by dropping these grifter reviews that no buyers will watch and only people who already hate the game will praise.Also fuck this captcha system, I take ten minutes in every reply because it is so fucking stupid
>>58767807>Also fuck this captcha system, I take ten minutes in every reply because it is so fucking stupid>ZAtroons are IQletsThe jokes write themselves
>>58767857I'm in a PhD program, I'm definitely in the top % of IQ in this hellhole. But I refuse to play a minigame whenever I want to post.Also, you are not addressing my argument, just offending me.
>>58767807
It's literally no more engaging than that stupid space time distortion mode in USUM. And that's he whole DLC.
>>58767594should be lower, like a 55
>>58767976>I'm in a PhD programAnyone can get a PhD for a meme major
>>58767807>Stop pestering Pokémon fans because our games do not feel the need to satisfy "industry standards".I am a Pokemon fan. I want better games, autist. Funny how caring about Pokemon is only "noise" when it's a negative opinion. Sorry you dont have a hugbox, autist. Also the captcha took me less than 3 seconds.
Shadow of the Erdtree was only $10 more.
>>58767594Pokémon fans have no standards tho?
this reads like a 2ch post you ran through grok or chatgpt, op
Damn a whole 97 digicucks made angry reviews? Its so over.
>>58767594>muh snoysUh oh melty melty!
>>58768117Stop comparing it with FromSoft or whatever. It is Pokémon. You know exactly what you are getting. Reviews and criticism is intended for the unaware audience, which does not exist for Pokémon. You people just want to call this franchise's games a pile of steaming shit. I just have essay fatigue. I do not want to hear it. I do not want to hear about how bad the game I pre-ordered sucks.
>>58767594What do TPC executives care about criticism? Their shitty games sell millions anyway thanks to their zombie fans, like what happens with FIFA or CoD.
>>58767737SV wasn't shat on enough.
>>58768309>I just have essay fatigue. I do not want to hear it. I do not want to hear about how bad the game I pre-ordered sucks.If you had essay fatigue you wouldn't write essays bootlicking billionaires
>>58768376I'm not bootlicking billionaires because I do not want to help grifters grow their youtube channel at the expense of people like me, who bought the game.I bought every Pokémon game since Red. I grew up with this franchise. When they attack Pokémon, they attack me.
>>58768328That is what I mean. Criticism is useless, it is annoying noise. And this criticism has turned into a general mockery of Pokémon fans too.I think /vp/ needs to take a stance of unconditional, unwavering support for this franchise.The truth is that the Pokémon games have been bad because the developers have started trying to give the fans what they want. And what the fans want is shit.The reason why open world nonsense began was because of fans and critics. Pokémon is at its best when it is completely indifferent, and fans just trust the experience they will get.
>>58767594>Why are critics so particularly opposed to Pokémon and everything related to it?Because they play and review video games as a job and Pokemon clearly isn't coming close to the standards set by other modern video games.
>>58767684SV was our Sonic 06 and only the most retarded of slop eaters refuse to see it.
>>58767807Aww, is the fanboy mad that people with actual taste refuse to suck off the worst games in the Pokemon franchise?>Yes, I want to silence complaints.Then not a single point you have is valid you authoritarian shitstain.
>>58768406>m-m-muh griftersThese "grifters" wouldn't have an audience if people didn't agree that the franchise is going downhill in the first place. At this point "grifter" is just a buzzword for "person I don't agree with", and people like you are too stupid to even understand the difference.
>>58768462>>58768452
>>58767594I played Mega Dimension and I really don’t get the complaints, feels like it upgrades Z-A in every way and shows how much potential the future of Pokémon has.
>>58767594Most critics are paid for by other companies, and those other companies are seething that Pokemon continues to be an industry-defying money printer who makes more money with a single shitty annual installment than most franchises will make in their entire decades-long lifetimes.
>>58768603This. They hate Pokémon because they don't have Pokémon. Just look at how happily they embraced Palworld.All these people saying that OP worships big business do not understand that these critics are just playing their part in supporting big business, just not Nintendo and Gamefreak.They want to turn Pokémon into a movie game like Last of Us.
>>58767594tendie malty
>>58768585>10 second cutscene means the entire DLC was goodLet me guess, you also consider ORAS peak
>>58767594Why do so many of the reviews complain about the price? It’s cheaper than the last dlc
>>58768635The dlc is good because you get 22 new Megas, a 12 hour story, 53 new moves, 132 returning Pokémon, 83 new side quests, a Boss Rush Mode, a Survival Mode, Hyperspace research tasks to clear your Mable missions faster to get the Shiny Charm + Master Ball, new clothing and hairstyles, 8 new boss battles, over 3000 new trainer battles + updated teams to the battle zones, and must needed Shiny hunting methods. You’d know if you could afford it.

You’d know if you could afford it.AHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA12 hours? Blood & Wine for Witcher 3 is 12 hours, plus 60 hours in content, a whole new region to explore, and a lot of secrets. Blood & Wine was 20 dollars on release, and now you can get it for 9 without discount.>"getting returning Pokémon" is now a feature when it was the common practice before SwSh was released>30 dollars, more expensive than Blood & Wine for Witcher 3, hailed as the greatest expansion a game has ever had>"12 hours main story" means unvoiced cutscenes with shit writing and shit characterization that make you want to shoot yourself between a bunch of chores you have to do to progress like capturing 13 birds or something stupid like that>"53 new moves" is now a feature>a bunch of new chores to do in Copy & Paste cityIf you are happy with Mega Dimension, you are the target audience for this game.
>>58767594>>58767807>SNOYS SNOYS SNOYS SNOYS WHEN HAS POKEMON EVER BEEN UP TO INDUSTRY STANDARDS!!!!1!!!1!!!1!It's obvious you're either baiting or underaged, but here you go...https://youtu.be/iyHn_gePDqk
>>58767594Critics went easy on the dlc
>>58769027How the fuck did Creatures get away with reusing the N64 models for Kanto Pokemon so long? Even PBR still had Stadium models in them, but at least Charizard didn't look as retarded as he does in the N64 and Gamecube games.
>>58769239Because not that many people cared about the Orre games or Battle Revolution, the novelty of "battle your pokemans on TV!!!!!!" had long worn off, and PBR was actually seen as more inconvenient because of the DS's portability making DPPtHGSS far more suited for anytime anywhere battling.
>>58769239Because the N64 models are really, really good. They were state-of-the-art when they were made, near PS2 level of complexity. They also ooze personality.N64 models are better than Pokémon Go and modern Pokémon games.Just imagine if Hal Interactive and Genius Sorority had taken over Pokémon from Gamefreak.Pokémon games could be hailed today on the same level as the best RPGs.
>>58769269Creatures are the ones who made the models. They've been in charge of making 3d Pokemon models since 1998 with the Japan only Stadium 1 and are still doing it to this day.
>>58769239>How the fuck did Creatures get away with reusing the N64 models for Kanto Pokemon so long?Good art direction goes a long way and was the standard in the industry before everyone collectively decided polygon count is the only thing that matters even if the game still looks and runs like shit
>>58769346This model looks like shit plopped onto the highly detailed stadiums and next to newer Pokemon like Garchomp. I would point out that this is in a game with nothing else to do but battling, but Genius Sonority weren't the ones making the models so even if they wanted higher detailed ones for every Pokemon it wouldn't happen unless Creatures agreed to.
