In hindsight, this was the direction Pokemon needed to go in.
>>58915427Nintendo wouldn’t allow it, they very much want to keep Pokemon a child oriented franchise that does its best not to offend any parents. GameFreak and other companies that worked with TPC fucked with that goal, but Nintendo put them in their place or ghosted them.
>Another jaunty whimsical adventure rendered in dogshit 3D, set in cookiecutter nowheresvilleLame, gay even. >FUCKING APOCALYPSE>ONE MAN WAR>ALL DOUBLE BATTLES, ALL THE TIME. PREPARE YOUR ANUSKino.
>>58915430Its kind of amusing. GF did everything possible to sanitize Pokemon while Japanese kids played FF7 and FF8 until their fingers bled. Pokemon could have gone a little edgier and still been the G rated version of [insert favorite JRPG series here].The real tragedy is that none of the new games have a recognizable identity, except for maybe Legends Arceus.
Everyone talks about the pokemon animations but nobody talks about how this old ass game looks way better than any 3d game gamefreak has ever made.
>>58915430>not to offend any parents.You fucking negro againWhat part don't you understand that Nintendo's Audience is comprised solely of Nintendo manchildren?The few children that are being born have their free Ipad sloppa and skibbi rizz shit they don't give a shit about Dinsey, Pokemon,Star Wars or any boomer ass franchise
>>58915434Yeah Pokemon should let you kill people and fuck Ninetales in public RAAARH
>>58915451What's so edgy about the story?>>58915502It aged like shit, still
>>58915502>Christmas 2005>be eight>get XD Gamecube bundle to replace my old Gamecube that broke>blown away by how good Pokemon looks in 3D>"I can't wait for the main games to be on consoles in the future! It's going to look so freaking good!>the future, 2022
>>58915549>so edgy"So" edgy =/= "a little edgier">What's so edgy about the story?"Could have gone a little edgier""Could have"Hope that helps
>>58915555U brown ESL didn't answer my question
>>58915559Your reading comprehension is hovering somewhere around third grade level. You didn't even read my post correctly, you retarded short bus riding faggot
>>58915549at least it looked good when it came out. jesus look at >>58915552
>>58915427>The 3D games should have been gayer
>>58915427Tpc and gf think they are flops, they think digimon and smt are flops too the only competition they saw was yokai watch outsold Pokemon in japan during gen 6
>>58915575>graphical concessions in exchange for a big world with seamless online coop>a game that looked sorta kinda ok in the 2000sI’ll take S/V
>>58915507>The few children that are being born have their free Ipad sloppa and skibbi rizz shit they don't give a shit about Dinsey, Pokemon,Star Wars or any boomer ass franchiseBecause all the old franchises have been overly sanitized to the point where kids aren't interested anymore. The only people that still care about Pokemon or any of those old franchises are the people that are old enough to remember when they were still good, before they poured Clorox bleach on it and sanded down all the edges to make it safe for the most sickly preemie in the NICU
>>58915434>ALL DOUBLE BATTLES, ALL THE TIME. PREPARE YOUR ANUSIn retrospect it's really silly yet on brand how Game Freak didn't let Genius Sonority continue with the series as they then proceeded to make Doubles the official competitive format while doing nothing to get new players' feet wet in the format during the main story.
I remember magazines hyping up the game as "Pokemon for older players with a more mature story". Literally has no story, and they even censored Rui making her shirt longer and censoring her midriff
>>58915427We never knew how good we had it, Genius Sonority were fucking visionaries
>>58915430We have Palworld now
>>58916763then they made BW, and they made the grunts childish... they are too scared but despite that they hyped the games to be "more mature"

>>58915427I played this some years ago, this game had a real cool geniune difficulty to it. But everything else was truly kinda shit.
