I can't be the only one that's gotten tired of the "goofy team lead by well meaning boss" trope by now, right?

there’s a redditor bitching about it every other week because they think dogshit like cyrus is good, so no
>>

I don't visit Reddit.

You aren't but we're a minority.

I need Corbeau to appear in every game for the next decade.

GF has become deathly afraid of irredeemably evil antagonists for some reason

Ohmori just repeats the same stuff every game.

I'm right there with you anon, Lusamine at least filled the role of a serious genuine threat of a leader in gen 7, but we really haven't gotten that since, I'm getting sick of these non-villainous "villain" teams.
>>
>>58842880
He's getting replaced by a new yumebait next game.
>>
>>58842881
...they don't even have REDEEMABLY evil anymore either!

It was fine for Gen 7 because at least it was new and different. It also came at the right time, because people were disgruntled with Team Flare. But they kept doing over and over again, and each time they don't seem to hit as hard as Team Skull/Aether Foundation did. It just became the new trend that everyone was complaining about with the "overly ambitious" teams.
>>
>>58842902
Also Team Skull were at least endearing, the game pretty much said "yeah, these guys aren't a threat", and made it a joke in of itself, but they were kinda loveable in how inept they were and gave us things to care about with them
Every future game seemed to have missed that part and want us to take it all at face value and act like we should be surprised when they aren't the actual threat of the game. They're more of a chore now, something else to do besides get the gym badges
>>
>>58842881
Because it’s fucking stupid in the utopia setting
>>
>>58842868
Corbeau is a sociopath, people are scared shitless of him for a reason
>>
>>58842929
That never stopped them before for 6 generations, arguably 7
>>
>>58842929
Pokemon setting was never utopian. It's just better than real lif. There were still criminals, gangsters and shady people around. There's people like Lt. Surge, who is a war vet, implying that wars exist in the Pokemon world. If Pokemon was truly utopian, then there wouldn't be any conflict in general and that would be fucking boring.

And he was right, btw
>>
>Gen 10 will have another goofy team and family issues
Why does ohmori keep repeating this shit?
>>
>>58843058
You want it to be boring with no issues?
>>
>>58843061
There are more issues to discuss besides family drama.
>>
>>58843087
Like?
>>
>>58843058
There problem won't be a antagonist. Just a rogue object like with Anus.
>>
Ohmori's such a fucking cancer to this franchise.
>>
>>58842868
At least, SM has true evil villain like Lusamine, but they ruined her character in USUM..
>>
>>58842868
>>58842902
Guzma is also good because he’s still antagonistic toward the player, and a legitimately competent trainer (perfect IVs, 252/252 spreads, and optimal natures on all of his mons, when final bosses up to that point like Cynthia and Ghetsis only had the former). He isn’t “well meaning” until the postgame: in the main story he’s just scared out of a life of crime by Lusamine or Necrozma, depending on the game.

In gen 1 mobsters were killing pokemon
Then in gen 2 they converted the dead pokemons' resting place into a radio tower
It's nice in some ways but it isn't entirely disconnected from reality, which was part of the appeal

>instant seethe towards DS-related thing in the first post
Every time yawn. Seriously man, do you spend all day just refreshing the catalog?
