There's something deeply chilling about watching zoomoids decide that Gen 7 was "good, actually" in real time. I wonder if this is how oldheads felt watching people of my generation fall in love with the Hoenn and Sinnoh games.
>>59030062>zoomoidswhen are you niggers going to stop conflating tourists at large with zoomers?
>>59030062Gen 7 did have a good story though.What am I supposed to be mad about? You not being able to claim everything after gen 5 is worthless dogshit just so you can feel better about gen 5?
>unova out of nowhere
59030074these are retards who have found their calling in materialism, so never. that includes (You) btw
>>59030062I don't think they're suddenly deciding it, I think it's just that the people who played Gen 7 as little kids and are nostalgic about it are now old enough to join the online discourse. That, combined with the fact that a lot of oldheads dropped out of the series between Gens 7-8 and don't participate in the community as much now, is probably why SM are seen in a more positive light these days.
SM was an anniversary year and came out after Pokemon Go. Big marketing push.
gen 7 had some interesting ideas but terrible executionSo by default it makes it at least better than gen 6. Which had nothing going for it and just felt like some long tech demo for gamefreak's first attempt at 3d.
>>59030062Lusamine was does better in USUM, making Lusamine some weird power hungry alien mother because of space aids doesn't fit her character as well as her being obsessed with saving the region from Necrozma
>>59030062>Zoomers finally getting taste Based
>>59030099You are a pedophile.
>>59030097>power hungryShe wasn’t after power dumb frogposter
>says the afterbirth who codified our slide into the shit by eating up the rubbish served to her as a child blindly
>>59030100SEZ you lmao, sperg more for the animals fag
>>59030085Pretty much. It's not just Pokemon, there's a lot of games that only become considered "good" 10+ years after their release. It's all just nostalgiafagging that can be safely ignored.
>>59030062in fairness Gen 7 has>the best nu-gen dex of pokemon>the most cohesive nu-gen region with the strongest atmosphere>the most pokemon available in one gen>both megas and z moves>the best use of regional variants, mostly bc subsequent games ran the concept into the dirt>team skull was the first and also the best use of the "goofy evil team" and Po Town was cool>Ultra Beasts, while strange, were mostly a successful addition>most of the characters were pretty good with odd exceptions like Illimabut it has dogshit pacing
Gates to Infinity is a particular game, it has good parts, but came on, no post game? Paid dungeons as DLCs? Nah
>>59030102forgive me, i never replay those fucking games, but what did she want then? to invade Alola with Ultra Beasts because of mind control? that's still fucking retarded
>>59030118>>the best nu-gen dex of pokemonStopped reading right here.
>>59030131>Gates to Infinity is a particular gameIndeed it is, as all games are.Did you mean "peculiar"?
>>59030062>oldheadsonly kantykes are "oldheads"johtoddlers are just their annoying little brothers
>>59030135you mean to tell me that out of>Kalos>Alola>Galar>PaldeaAlola isn't clearly the strongest dex?
>>59030074why is it incredible to you that something which came out when 2006 born were 10 year olds is a zoomer game?
>>59030143No they're all about the same in terms of quality.
>>59030143Unova’s dex is better
>>59030136Yes
>>59030134>to invade Alola with Ultra Beasts because of mind control?No retard she literally just wanted to be with Nihilego as her self perceived vision of beauty after her children deviated from the path she forced them onto. The only time she’s “power hungry” is when she takes Nebby to open up a wormhole where she immediately discards it. When you meet her in Ultra Space she just wants to be left alone with the only things she sees as worthwhile.
>>59030147It's not incredible, just dishonest.
>>59030118>>59030143I actually really like the Alola dex but I still think the games are shit sadly. some good designs can't salvage that absolute borefest
>>59030108yeah, borts just don't know
>>59030062>oldheadsYou mean the dudes like two grades above you who were also literal children? Also back in the day, the discussion around every long-running franchise wasn't dominated by hypercritical turbospastics, if you played pokemon, you loved the newest gen.
>>59030175seems pretty honest to me. the core age group of zoomers were kids to young teens when SM came out, they were the target audience and are most likely to have nostalgia for those games. I guarantee you the vast majority of people praising them are zoomers.
>>59030175how is something 2000s borns played when they were still kids being called a zoomer game dishonest?
>>59030190you've never read old /vp/ posts
>>59030075I don't do that to feel better though
>>59030062>Younger people enjoying a game you didn't like is "deeply chilling"Get a grip
>>59030143>Incineroar>Ultra Beasts>Goonerbait like Salazzle, Tsareena, PheromosaAlola dex is a bit too weird. But it did have some breakout stars like Mimikyu.
>>59030220>posts all good designsIt’s not weird enough
>>59030143The highest quality dex there is Kalos if you ignore megas.
>>59030216>Younger people eating shit out of a trough isn't disturbing to him
>>59030143Yeah. All 7 has going for it is the ultra beasts. Very boring dex otherwise.Not worse than 8's but 6's and 9's were better.
>>59030062Gen 7 has always had defenders. If this is news to you, then I guess you're the "zoomoid"
>>59030118>>the best nu-gen dex of pokemonthat's XY>>the most pokemon available in one genthis is a bad thing>>both megas and z movesmegas may as well not be in the game>>Ultra Beasts, while strange, were mostly a successful additionnothing has been done with them since>>most of the characters were pretty good with odd exceptions like Illimafuck you illima is cool
>>59030282>nothing has been done with them since>literally the basis of one of the Crown Tundra storylines?
>>59030062>There's something deeply chilling about watching zoomoids decide that Gen 7 was "good, actually"Always has been good, and I've been saying it since the start. Glad to see them finally catching up.>I wonder if this is how oldheads felt watching people of my generation fall in love with the Hoenn and Sinnoh games.It's the same shit. "Thing I didn't grow up with = bad" like with every game since RS dropped. All of you who grew out said "[current gen] will never be remembered fondly" and were proven wrong, time and gen again. t. oldfag who started with Blue
>>59030220Nothing you listed are bad designs at all. They alone mog the other dexes in the post you're responding to.
>>59030289>"Thing I didn't grow up with = bad"No I think the pokemon games have been getting worse and worse since the move to 3d, with the most recent games literally fucking crashing on the switch.
>>59030313What got worse with the move to 3d? Be specific and don’t accidentally out yourself by naming something that was already worse in gen 5.
>>59030336everything
>>59030336Specifically the attention to detail.Having to animate 500000 animations per pokemon led to work bloat which meant they didn't have time to polish the games properly. The Gen 6 and 7 games ran like hot ass, to the point that turning on the 3d actively tanked the game's FPS. Gen 8 had terrible looking and performing wild areas, and on top of that the routes were incredibly cut down, likely the fault of having to task more and more people with animating and texturing the pokemon. Gen 9 is, well, we already know. Graphics aren't everything in pokemon but wow they are just fucking terrible. Secondarily, I think there's been something lost in 3d. There used to be a certain charm in getting new sprite art of a pokemon every generation, sometimes new sprites in a new game within the generation. Skarmory is a great example, since he's been in literally every game since his inception, getting unique artwork every generation and now he's basically had the same model since XY. Sure, its probably not THE same model but its animated the same, that gliding/floating pose he does. Sure he's got animations now but every time you encounter Skarmory hes doing that same fucking pose and animation. Then, this eventually lead to Dexit, as animating an entire suite of animations for all 900+ pokemon at the time was simply unfeasible. I don't necessarily think dexit was a huge deal, but not knowing if one of my favorites will be available at all in a new game is a giant blow.
>>59030062People have nostalgia for things they experienced as children.
>>59030289>All of you who grew out said "[current gen] will never be remembered fondly" and were proven wrong, time and gen again. I literally think Sword and Shield will be the only time this doesn't occur because any child that grew up with these games also grew up with Scarlet/Violet, which Xers, Millennials, Zoomers and Alphers all prefer to begin with
>>59030534>Specifically the attention to detailThanks for letting me know your post is bait immediately so I don't need to read the rest of it.
>>59030552i prefer swsh though
>>59030628NTA but how is that bait? You asked him to be specific and he replied with an essay, then you dismissed the entire thing out of hand because...?
>>59030079>the bort yelps as he strikes you Check the quoted tweet
>>59030772>NTA but how is that bait?By starting his post with something so obviously blatantly false.Here's your game with "attention to detail" btw
>>59030805Its... pretty clear he wasn't only talking about the animations themselves being polished, anon. The tweened sprites are ugly as sin though.
>>59030062>bottom-right tweetholy based mid-to-late zoomers!
