Such a fucking embarrassment holy shit. Over the last few years my disgust for all the negatives has easily been overtaking the positives that kept me holding on. The pokemon universe has taken enough irreversible damage, I don't even wanna acknowledge it, it's unrecognizable and too far detached from what it once was. Not unlike Star Wars and other big franchises, they may be "alive" in the sense that there is people throwing money at the brand but the spirit is very much dead.

even though i dont like gen 6 i like believing in my head it was the last generation because its still within the original spirit of the series before it became yokai watchified in gen 7 then made into western pandering slop in gen 9, i just say pokemon go never happened and pokemon dwindled in popularity further and game freak went bankrupt the end

>>
>>58895003
I like how you ignore the things they created of late that pander exclusively to Japanese sensibilities like curry camping in Gen 8 or Larry and Rika in Gen 9 as well as the things that appeal to both east and west. This is part of the evolution of Pokémon, by Gen 5 they had two teams and senior staff had time to start looking at the next 5-10 years and how they wished to move forward and grow the brand further. I don't know if simultaneous worldwide releases was always on the cards, but Gen 5's staggered release and the reaction from casualfag scum idiots to it not being for 3DS, because Nintendo pushed that out before Pokémon in the west, absolutely forced the issue and with TPC organising the localisation, it was under harder control than passing it off to America and hoping they fasttracked it.

Not if you want to have an actual game to play. They're not getting more time, even the next 4 years sees Game Freak busting nuts on three projects, ILCA absolutely will have a BW remake in between and Game Freak won't start working on Gen 11 until 2027 for its 2030 release. And that means cuts need to be made to get a game out. Sorry this is so fucking hard for you to understand, but that's why Pokémon shits out a game a year and why GTA shits out a game every 2.15 years (not including DLC and MMO's). Also means that despite GTA's game revenue to date, Pokémon's franchise revenue dwarfs it.

That's why Pokémon are designed to be easily made into plushies. That's why Pokémon is the biggest merchandise franchise in the world. It's for kids, no matter how much you cope. You're just clueless about reality.

You can consider Pokemon to be a case study on why IP law should not exist.

>Games are dogshit awful to the point where literally everyone except Gamefreak can do better

>Because Pokemon is the highest grossing media franchise on Earth Gamefreak has no incentive to improve

>Do the only sensible thing dissatisfied fans can do and make a better Pokemon with blackjack and hookers

>Get sued out of existence because Nintendo knows Gamefreak is beyond useless and passion projects like Prism make them look bad

>So make your own monster catching game that isn't Pokemon chud

Pal-world did that and look what happened. That isn't enough either I want POKEMON!

TPC did everything they could to make this happen. Since it fell short of expectations, they simply announced a grotesque and forgettable Mega Evolution just to make Mega Dragonite look better and have fans apologize for hating Mega Dragonite.
Incidentally, they also fulfilled the fans' wish to change the shiny to blue and added this Mega Evolution to the anime and TCGarbage. I wouldn't be surprised if they added it to Unite as well.

Green shinies are overhated, Dragonite’s in particular is pretty good because it’s a nice dark green that goes great with the purple undersides of its wings. Gen 3’s iteration is particularly good in my opinion.
If anything I wish the mega’s shiny was pink and yellow like Dratini/Dragonair’s shinies, those are some of my favorite shinies in the whole series

Speaking about being based around Pokemon Yellow as well as synergy with Pokemon GO, Masuda said:

“Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee! are kind of inspired and based on Pokémon Yellow version. They had added elements from the animated series, like Team Rocket and the characters that appeared in the animated series. It’s one of those things that made it resonate more with young kids at the time. When we were thinking of a game to go back to … we thought that this would be the next version.”

The whole fucking point was not designed as a nurse jobmon(unlike someone like lets say hypno taking cues from a hypnotist or hitmonchan taking cues from a boxer)

^this is the only chansey media that predates the anime.

do you even understand what a jobmon is? chansey's design is not in any way stylized like a nurse. jobmon are pokemon with designs that are specifically made to resemble a "human activity", usually a profession(ex: cinderace's body is deliberately made to look like the attire of a soccer player)

nta but back in the day there wasn't much to do but have sex but now from video games, content of all kinds a few taps away, easy global travel etc. there's a world of joys and comforts.

The only new megas that look good are Darkrai, Dragalge, Malamar, Froslass, and Staraptor. The rest look mediocre or outright terrible. Starmie and victreebel are especially dogshit but feraligatr is the worst of all of them.

Pokémon is the biggest franchise EVER and these mfs can't hire decent artists. Ffs there are tons of fan art mons that are way better than the garbage that they produce. It's surreal

But of course pokedrones will pretend that they're great just because they're official designs

sun and moon were the first games i played where i went "this doesn't feel like pokemon"
and really gen 6 is not as bad as people make it out to be. it's certainly not good, but it's tolerable.

>sun and moon were the first games i played where i went "this doesn't feel like pokemon".
Wouldn't be surprise since some of Ultra Beast Pokemons were actual rejected first time before it was rebranded. This was confirmed by artist self.
>>
>>58923020
it stopped being tolerable once furry 'cord started shilling for it
that's what makes a game bad automatically
>>
>>58893019
I don't understand how so many people on this board are treating Mega Dragonite as this catastrophically bad design that's tarnishing the franchise. I like it.

No one ever shills gen 6 anon…

Gen 4 was Pokemon. Truly, thoroughly, Pokemon.

Gen 5 was the series pushing Pokemon to it's absolute limit and testing the waters with new features - trying to reach a new audience and the older with something new.
They went all out - added new Pokemon, brought the idea to utilize new Pokemon instead of old ones, was a weird way with the region, traversing wise, but overall a lot of hard work was put into this generation. Some ideas fell flat - rotation/sky/triple, but overall was a solid series.

Gen 6 was trash. I'm sorry - pandering to nostalgia, bringing in digievolutions, an evil team - evil just to be evil, no third version, no post game.
Everything fell downhill after this.

7 was okay. Had interesting ideas and I really loved regional variants and Ultrabeasts. That's about it - rivals were terrible.

8 - Worst gen imaginable.

9 - Has an interesting concept, but meh overall - the care was put into gen 5.

Arceus - a fantastic idea, a little rough around the edges, but overall a really good experience.

Z-A - not even trying.

I have no faith in this series anymore.

They're not, that's a huge problem that Disney has brought up in their quarterly reports. They aren't reaching children the way they used to. When I was a kid I had hundreds of Star Wars toys. My kids have basically none. They're just not interested in Star Wars and I don't blame them. The Disney Star Wars have been so bad I didn't even bother watching them. Pokemon is making the same mistake. If you release trash long enough you burn all goodwill and even your long time fans leave.
>>
>>58924058
Dare I say that Pokemon would be even worse if owned by Disney?
>>
>>58924058
Not remotely comparable and you know it.Star Wars was child-focused but adult driven (the novels, the nerd merch, the non-toy money makers). Lucas knew that, Disney ignored it. Pokémon is kid-driven still and they're still reaching the little shitbags. Japan never abandoned them, my shithole town in Ireland's got an Aldi with a dedicate slot in its toy aisle offering pokémon shit that changes regularly. Despite you taking your personal experience with the brand since you aged out of their target demo and applying it to the world, they're still in fact hitting their marks. That's why Game Freak even started up making Legends games, to keep the core games kid and casual friendly, while offering a greater challenge to older players/more experienced gamers (note these are NOT the same kind of people you think of hearing those words, it's literally children who grew out of the other games' age range and people who played more than just a pokémon game in their gaming lives). TPC finally monetising adults with GO the way they always monetised the children with endless offerings of pocket-money priced shite or gatcha machine pulls, or shitbag grifters convincing insidiously lazy cunts to scalp cardboard isn't actually threatening their historic market, which does refresh endlessly every three years in majority (leading to its continued success for almost 30 years).

You should've just stopped with game freak after that mobile phone quote and permanent exp share, if you want a less casual experience, play a fan game like rejuvenation when v14 comes out eventually... Reborn is pretty good gameplay wise too if you can stand overdramatic teen characters and a character like pic related who's dialogue is just "look how heckin gay I am, don't be mad at what you can't have ladies"

Romhacks like Unbound feel like they're an extension of Gen 4 after Platinum and HGSS and the battling is a good mix of not too hard and not too easy

Not lying lad. But I'm also not mandated to stroke off 20-something manchildren, hence why I'm not spouting the horseshit you all do, because you can't handle the reality of the biggest kid's IP in the world ignoring you because you're not a child, not a normalfag and don't have kids to expose to the brand. I'm not the one who told the franchise to ignore you when you turned 13 but seeing as how they've ALWAYS ignored me and I didn't give a shit (I was 12 when Japan got RG and 15 when Ireland got it), you lot must be REALLY immature that such things do upset you all so much.

Funny thing is that faggot wouldn't look out of place in a modern Pokemon game. That's why the furry 'cord has to pretend to be posters from years ago just to advertise those games
