What are all of the major Pokémon controversies?
>>59071442Pokemon is the devil
>>59071442Those two retards who tried to shoot up a TCG tourney and only got caught because they posted about it on Facwbook beforehand. Caught by police with enough guns to take out the whole building.
>>59071449Leo Burnett and 4Kids are the devil.
>>59071442Ignoring fandom shit>it’s original existence alone was considered satanic during the turn of the millennium>Porygon (Pikachu) anime seizures>Jynx (incorrectly) viewed as racistAnd then Pokemon wasn’t popular and there wasn’t anything major for years and the closest we’ve had was DexcutThough I’m sure the next big controversy will be AI related since Pokemon will probably be the first real Digimon.
>>59071469Jynx is racist
>>59071442Verlisify getting disqualified from a competition despite his opponent using a CLEARLY hacked Raichu. You can pretty much include every VGC tourney considering only those with hacked mons win and there's NO requirement to prove that they were hatched and raised legally.
>>59071442No one cares about anything anymore. Democratic norms are being eroded daily and half our influencers don't believe we went to space, but all we can can talk about is how much we goon to Dawn feet pics. The masses have been pacified. The revolution isn't coming.Accept it and go play some Poketopia.
>>59071497Fuck off back to /pol/. This board is for gooning to pokehebes
>>59071490>dogfucker still seething after all these yearslol git gud faggot
>>59071497Where did this come from?>>59071469Is Poképorn Tera leak fandom or does it count?
>>59071488Whimsicot actually is but no one cares about anything that isn’t Kanto and Jynx is a meme now.
>>59071521I forgot that.I would count the Tera leak.
>>59071526>dark-skinned mon covered in cotton is a version counterpart to a white-skinned southern belleIt's amazing how they got away with this.
>Fuck off back to /pol/. This board is for gooning to pokehebes
>>59071534We’re trying to talk about controversial Pokémon shit not brown people and the collapse of society you obsessed retard
>>59071532>Gets pranksterOh they knew
>>59071442Uri Geller banning Kadabra from the TCG until 2020
>>59071516Attack the point, not the person. You won't because you have no argument.
>>59071569Nah, I'll attack the person because he's fucking cancer. Imagine not being able to win a single tournament and blaming everyone else for having more skill.
>>59071581What skill is involved in putting numbers in a machine and spawning a mon with eprfect EV/IVs? Zero. Someone using an EVENT Raichu in a pokeball that it is impossible to be in is the most blatant cheating that exists. And he got away with it. Because YOU created a culture of toxicity and cheating within the VGC.
>>59071569Genning mons gives no advantage during the fight so nobody cares. It's not as if you get an auto aim or something like that. It's just retarded, imagine a faggot complaining someone bought their bike for a cycling competition instead of proving he manufactured it, it makes no fucking sense to bitch about it "ehrmeged he bought his chess pieces instead of carving them by hand" nobody gives a shit.
>>59071593you can't prove he didn't get the raichu from the gts, does the raichu have more stats than what's possible? If not nobody gives a shit gitgud.
>>59071593I don't care what frauds think.
>>59071595Bro. It gives an advantage during the fight of having a strong pokemon.
>>59071521You asked why no one cared about Pokémon controversies. I have you your answer. It's the same reason why would rather frogpost on a Pokemon forum than ask why your Zipcode has statistically already decided your fate. In both cases the masses don't want to do things. They want to hide under complacency because it hurts their brain and identity to critically things regardless if it's Pokemon on Zoning laws. There are no more controversies. Just a cattle class letting their life passively degrade while those in control of your life keep profiting. Enjoy your Poketopia.
>>59071604Which a normal player can also obtain. It's not as if genning a Pokemon allows you to get exclusive resources.
>>59071593I’m all for not cheating but I will point out that skill and effort are different things, the guy who cheated for a perfect raichu as dumb as that is did probably have skill at the game. I use perfect mons on showdown all the time and get beat. But yea it’s kind of lame he didn’t put effort in.
>>59071604Are you insinuating Verlisify didn't train his mons right? Because I'd believe you.
>>59071595>imagine a * complaining someone bought their bike for a cycling competition instead of proving he manufactured itExcept in this case the VGC has rules clearly stating that using hacked mons is against the rules. This is a FACT. Unspoken rules are not rules. The company failing to enforce its own written rules does not mean it doesn't exist.>>59071601LOL>https://youtube.com/shorts/lP4Ia0iUxCA?si=CAHKw0vbf-oqlpnA
>>59071605Calm down
Verlisify will outlive all of his detractors like DSP
>>59071469>it’s original existence alone was considered satanic during the turn of the millenniumPokemon also had a similar backlash in the middle east with claims such as it promoting zionism and freemasonry.Not all the controversies regarding the franchise is because of religion.https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_controversies
>>59071607So by calling the alternative ‘normal players’, are you insinuating that genning is cheating?
>>59071643No? I just said a normal player can obtain the same resources as a genning player. The difference is one respects their own free time, and the other does not.
>>59071607That’s no different than walking through walls to the end of the game and saying you beat it, you got something faster than everyone else in a way you were not intended to get it, that is cheating
>>59071652Oh, but it's fair if a new player asks someone to trade over all the comp-viable mons he needs instead of breeding and SRing them for himself?
>>59071645You are explaining exactly why it’s cheating. Bypassing that process gives players who gen an unfair advantage.
>>59071663See>>59071658
>>59071634Verlisify has been seething about his loss for literal years now instead of actually trying to git gud
>>59071658Yes, because it’s an intended way to play the game? I don’t need an action replay ti trade with someone
>>59071668Explain the difference between someone who chooses to respect and save their time by genning and someone who chooses to respect and save their time by asking someone else to trade over the mons they need.Spoiler alert, it's more likely than not that the traded mons are genned.
>>59071663>waaah waaah he bought his bike instead of manufacturing itNobody cares
>>59071670Sounds like cope to me
>>59071658>>59071665Yes. That follows the rules of the game. You just have to have a friend that has to go through all that and convince them to give it to you.
>>59071670the natural end point these anti-genning fags are advocating for is a greatee divide between pro players and average players where pro players or famous players have a team or a bunch of fans building their teams which gives them free time to practice whereas anti genning shitters continue to lose because they lose their time playing bike eugenics simulator or picnic eugenics
>>59071469>it’s original existence alone was considered satanic during the turn of the millenniumPeople keep saying this, but I'm pretty sure there were only like 3 or 4 out of touch boomers from the 90s who said it was satanic on tv, and then everyone acted like this was a widespread belief.
>>59071680>>59071686Or the friend likely genned the mons because it's faster and saves time. Because there is no discernable difference between a genned mon and a "natural" mon except for the wasted time required to get the natural mon.Even GF and TPC agree you might as well just be genning because they got rid of IVs (therefore removing the tedium of needing to 0IV Speed Hunt a Legendary like Enamorus, who requires replaying the entire game multiple times over due to the nature of how it's spawned in PLA) and give you free Pokemon in Champions.
>>59071680Can you prove Wolfey didn't do that and just so happens that whoever traded him the Raichu just genned it or got it from someone who genned it? So Wolfey is innocent and the fault lies with GF's retarded system.At the end of the day genning democratizes the access to event mons.
>>59071690>Or the friend likely genned the mons because it's faster and saves time.Exactly, this is why nobody serious cares about genned mons.
>>59071670If the traded mons are hacked it’s still at the root hacking.You are shifting the argument now, I fully agree that the intended way is dumb and time consuming but that’s how the game works and is why they added all those bottle caps and ev boosts in later games. Cheating should never be the norm for an official competition, no matter how time consuming the game is.
Tell you what Verlis, I've never played VGC before. I raise my own mons in-game. I don't even use Smogon. Fight me in SV. If you can beat me, an average player, I'll stop giving you shit. I'll even publicly admit I was wrong about you. But I don't think you'll win.
>>59071706What would be the difference between a genned mon and an ACEd mon that got that special ball?
>thread gets ruined by a nigger (aka verlisify)Arceus is dead.
>>59071727So the Olympics should just allow steroids because it gives athletes gains faster?
>>59071746You're not an olympic athlete, you're barely a vgc player
>>59071623It's over anon.No. It never started. Truth be told, you lost 100 years ago when your great grandpa was too poor and stupid to understand how compound interest worked, leading you to be exponentially behind long before you were potty trained. That's the real reason we don't care about Pokémon controversies anymore. Because we realized there's no point in fighting math, data science and algorithms beyond your comprehension so our learned complacency over everything is a way for us to deal with fact that your attempts to fight these gods that govern your life is no different than a bee trying to sting a human to death. Pokemon will keep winning. You will keep losing.
>>59071619Hilarious how almost an hour later you all ignored this and kept arguing as if it didn't exist. NO accountability.
>>59071666>5 years agoAbility: Oblivious
Fight me Verlis don't be scared
>your defending this person? You MUST be him!!
>>59071760lol I should have clicked desu don’t know much about that specific controversy I just don’t like the general idea that hacking should be allowed in any way for an official function.
>>59071788Nobody sucks Verlisify's dick for free.
>>59071619>self-censoring the word faggot>when quoting someoneOpinion dismissed you're an LLM or worse, a jeet.
>>59071760>Verlistard having a meltySo that Raichu is completely obtainable under the right circumstances>inb4 b-but muh oddsRNG manip exists, fuck off with your "muh odds" nonsense. At the end of the day it's a huge cope because you can't get a win at locals Verlistard.Complete waste of time, why did you want people to watch that embarassing display?
>>59071746Steroids allow for things that are biologically impossible, genning (or rather the mons used for competitions) are the same as a natty one. Also, the competition isn't the same as the bike/picnic/eugenics simulator you're basically whining because an Olympian athlete flew to the competition instead of walking himself there.
Ash not winning the Kalos League has caused ripples that are felt to this day to the extent they've expanded throughout the entire franchise as a whole and not just the anime.I wholeheartedly believe that there's been one if not the most damaging events in the entire franchise's history.
>>59071823That is false equivalence, I am complaining one athlete trained to be there and one pressed a magic “make me buff” button.But again all this is the fault of the way the game was made, it’s still dumb it takes so long and should and I would argue has largely been fixed. Anyway I think this debate is done, the audience will decide I’m going to go do some productive stuff now
Bro is scared of losingI'm the guy who started that dumb-looking Verlis image meme, there's your motivation to fight meDefend your honor coward
>>59071859He won't address anything your saying and just call you Verlisity. Watch.
>>59071859How do you equate playing the bike/picnic/soft reset eugenics simulator with "training"? If anything the genning trainer actually trains by battling online to refine their team.Ultimately it's GF's fault for having a retarded system and all that's missing now is a rusty cap or something similar, sadly it seems like Champions is going the freemium microtransaction route so genning will be even more valid.
>>59071872Chickenshitify won't address me because he knows he's a fraud and a grifter.All I'm asking for is one Pokemon battle. Be a fucking man or get off my board, you leech.
>>59071567I like how it was only banned from the TCG because both Geller and his lawyer were so out of touch they thought Pokemon was exclusively a card game and TPC didn't have any interest in correcting them.
>this is not cheating, it is hacking and it is against the rules, but it is not cheating>https://youtube.com/shorts/2_iW5yoEQIU?si=REOzRxxe1XZr0KdJ
>>59071999>Verlistard continues to spam his shitty shortsNot gonna watch your shit faggot. Buy an ad.Also daily reminder:> ...my bitch is so stupid we call it Verlisify...
>>59071442I remember back in 2004 Blaziken being a humanoid fur suit was hugeit made newsparents were complaining about
>>59071442Other than the Porygon seizure episode and Jynx early on, there aren't any. This fanbase would actually have to have enough standards and backbone to get mad at something for there to be a controversy.
You made me do this.
>>59071567It's funny how he's known for only two things, a crappy spoon-bending trick and throwing a fit over a children's card game.
