makes sense, plass was basically memory holed 2 weeks after its release. za has longer legs.

plass basically just lives off a few agp infected fags spamming "it's le step in the right direction" despite it being an ugly 2/10 empty tech demo with dogshit combat and mobile game dex tasks

Arceus had no longevity without PvP, and the battle system was half hearted anyway.

ZA bringing back Megas with fully interactive battles is the best change they've made since original XY first added it.

They don't give a fuck for kalos either, given laiunch week sales of paired games obliterate L: Z-A's, what 9 week sales marque? And it couldn't even touch L: A's "launch adjusted" sales (it itself ignoring the fundamental difference between selling 2m+ copies in January-march vs selling outright less in Oct-Jan).

Arceus was doomed to fail because as a Pokémon game it doesn’t have the inherent replayability. Once you’re done, you’re done and there’s no reason to come back or start over. Z-A is one it’s 5th post release season.
>>
>>58819927
B-but catching 59 bidoof and dark souls rolling is revolutionary! B-but the “vibes” of an empty shithole n64 map!!
>>
>b-b-buh muh shitty realtime online battlez
Not exactly a compelling hook for replayability. Especially since the rewards are something only *dedicated* spergs would see as desirable past a certain point (namely special balls, to go play the game to use them on shinies). Normies ain't gonna give a fuck, they're more invested in shininess for shiny's sake than becoming a battletard powerleveller or ball matching like the autistic among the dregs of the fanbase.

>Not exactly a compelling hook for replayability
Yes, online multiplayer is always a hook for replayability, which is why it’s been Pokémon’s for the last 15+ years
>>
>>58819959
>OP, who [made my asshole bleed]
correct
>Nope
Yep, it proves japs don’t give a shit about your slop tech demo that you desperately want to be validated for liking

>>
>>58819961
Except online multiplayer lags HEAVILY behind actual long-term playerbase. VGC has the same faggots for a ten year stretch, with scant little new blood growing in, as the younger set either realise how retarded playing comp pokémon is past 16 when they discover the opposite sex, alcohol and drugs. 27m sales of SV, but there wasn't even 1m spergs trying to be am vewy bestest, liek no-ones wuz. Same with L Z-A, same retard monkeys playing to reach A each season, but the actual endgame players are shinyhunting. Because shiny hunting can be done without needing to bother playing with spergs beyond two battles to get to S and the seasonal event stone.

All legends games are shitty filler between waiting for real entries
>>
Mainline pokemon games have become boring after doing the same thing for almost 30 years and I'm glad they're trying to experiment with the legends games. They just need to use the results of those experiments to make better games in the future instead of half-assing everything like they've been doing for both mainline and legends up till now.

I mean we already know Legends 3 is its own thing entirely with pikmin inspiration. This is why you can't get too attatched to any one battle style or mechanic. But supposedly gen 10 takes inspiration from Arceus to an extent with dynamically occuring player vs group battles

>>
>>58820714
I bought PLA just for H Zorua/Zoroark, too cool
>>
>>58820771
Because PLZA actually has an endgame.

PLA you have:
>Complete the Pokedex
>Do the 30 minutes of postgame story
>Shiny hunt

Which is the absolute bare minimum, and exists in virtually every Pokemon game, PLZA included. If you reeeaaaally want to stretch it, you can include "do sidequests", but thats not particularly compelling, and again PLZA has those too. There was no real "game loop" outside of catching Pokemon and collecting mats while doing so.

PLZA on the other hand, has an inherent game loop built into it with the ZA Royale. Raising Pokemon actually requires resources beyond just "that trash you get for releasing Pokemon", and you cant craft infinitely, so there's a direct need to engage with the game loop.
And, to really seal that, it has an entirely new gameloop added onto it with the DLC (of which PLA hardly received anything of), AND online vs play. If you engage with the latter, it means effectively endless replay-ability. PLA wasnt capable of that.
