The Pokemon franchise has jumped the shark. We need a reset.
>>58878690I've been saying that since 2019.
>>58878709I've been saying that since 1989.
>>58878690but enough about gen 5
>>58878690This, Masuda ruined everything when he took over after Tajiri and made it all about shitty Digimon, mythslop, human-Pokemon marriage, rapist Typhlosion and whatever else is in his sick mind. RS should never have been released.
>>58878690This is kino though. Honestly Pokémon is going shockingly strong.
can i buy the meloetta without the miku stuff tacked on
>>58878709I've been wanting the whole national dex in every game since SwSh.
Miku has been around for almost 20 years now and is to used in things to advertise products to otherwise uninterested nerds. Also Meloetta was already a reference to her back in Gen 5.
miku saving this dogshit series for irrelevance lmao
>>58878690Project Voltage was unironically the most soulful thing to come from Pokemon in at least a decade (Psychic had one of the weakest designs of the bunch though)
>>58878931It's mutually beneficial, Miku attracts otaku that will buy figs, character mervh and Masters EX units while Project Voltage exposes Miku (and Teto) to normal people that haven't listened VOCALOID music.Teto especially got a boost from Voltage since she was an internet troll character that most people would never see unless they were deep in the fan base.
>>58878828So has Roblox and it's still zoomer shit.Miku is the Japanese equivalent of Roblox>>58878950Vocaloid a shitShould have been Aikatsu
>>58878690OP here I posted the wrong image
>>58878690I agree
>>58879078Funny you post this as the new song is a remix of the tune that plays during a hall of fame's registration.https://youtu.be/iP1EAgXd42s?si=Z_-ViZrfDeedEYg_
I want Miku to be in gen 10.
>>58878950>Teto especially got a boost from Voltage since she was an internet troll character that most people would never see unless they were deep in the fan base.How did they even manage to include Teto in the crossover I'm pretty sure she's not owned by CFM like the actual vocaloids are
>>58878740>Digimon kino out of nowhere
>>58878690>Take design and art style Garbage, this artist has been a disaster for pkmn
>>58879926Teto's been allowed for commercial use through CFM since 2010, when TWINDRILL was made in 2009 to give her proper ownership, and then they struck a deal with CFM.She didn't REALLY start blowing up until 2023 though, when she got a redesign and a Synthesizer V AI voice.
>>58878950>Teto especially got a boost from Voltage since she was an internet troll character that most people would never see unless they were deep in the fan base.You've got it entirely backwards bubThey included Teto because Teto has been EXTREMELY popular for the past 3 years. You know why they got 32ki to make Facade Question for Project Voltage? Because he has a Miku+Teto song with 180m views nigga, and that's only on the official upload. Pretty sure it got popular on tiktok. Right now it is basically the most viewed vocaloid song, only really disputed by Girl A / siinamota since that also got popular on tiktok at some point in the past few years. Glad for that since I don't want my boy forgotten.Crypton of course went "oh fuck" and started including Teto more, both with Voltage and a relatively recent concert. They already kinda had a deal with them since Teto's been in the Project Diva games as a guest character for forever so may as well.
Miku is more Relevant than any Pokemon character, tpc prefer make figures of characters from other series than the humanflop they created lol
>>58878690We need her to represent the new sound type.
>>58879095Thanks for sharing
>>58880106The people that knew Teto before last April are a different audience than than the people that know the difference between VOCALOID, UTAU and SV. Miku has 18 years of popularity and publicity so most people have at least seen her in passing while scrolling online, but Teto is only recently ascending and Project Voltage helped introduce her to a more "normal" audience.The rival Teto reveal thread from last year had people that never saw Teto before and were surprised about how long she had been around.
>>58878690Red and Blue are turning 30 this year.You are likely not even the target audience anymore, just a legacy patron.
>>58880731It should be obvious with the streamer characters lately.
>>58880106So when are we getting Neru and Haku in this collab?
what strikes to me is how disconnected is this project from the rest of the franchise. If you're not a fan of the vocaloid genre you can go without ever noticing this.They could have put some reference in the anime or games, tied in a shiny Meloetta distribution or something (as >>58878967 notices out shiny Meloetta matches Miku's colors, and coincidentally there were two shiny Meloetta distributions, none of which is remotely related to the project), TCG promos, more merchandise (I couldnt find anything else than the figure in the OP). It just kinda floated into existence like some TPC approved fan project, and you can ignore it completely.I don't really mind the existence of this, the music is not my thing, but some of the Miku designs were super cute/hot. Bizarrely, they were heavily underused even in the Voltage songs themselves.Anyway, it's not something I love or hate, but it has me wondering what were they trying to achieve.
