New pokemon shill hashtag dropped
>>59149058This is the one time "You'll still buy it" doesn't matter since it's free and live service games make money via longterm player retention.
>>59149058How is it entitled to not want to play a shitty game?
>>59149058Holy fucking KEK, this fanbase continues to find new lows, it's long surpassed shit like the Sonic Franchise with these faggots.
>>59149058>literal who twitter screencap thread
>>59149098please understand the poor developers tried really really hard and so they are entitled to your money regardless of the state of the product
>>59149103Hi, Ole Kai @imgaylordkaiUpset?
>>59149098Nintendo and gamefreak worked HARD! They deserve your money!
>>59149058Having a functional game should be the bare minimum, not a selling point.
>>59149155the game isn't even functional to begin with it's as buggy as RBY
>>59149058They seem to always go back to that word when you criticize anything Pokemon.
not like this, nintendsisters.....
>>59149098I dont know. Ask Kojima fans
Do Pokefags really?
"Looks good to me.""I like it.""I don't see the problem, personally.""It's different.""It has charm.""It has soul.""You're just looking for reasons to complain.""But what about [other thing]?"same thing every time
>>59149290These are from Sword/Shield pre-launch, but nothing's changed
>>59149235Based
>>59149098>I_suddenly_have_standard.pngyou’ve been ok with eating shit since the 3ds. What changed?
>>59149397holy shit gen 5 was on the 3ds?
>>59149399>the gen with the worst initial reception>i-I actually liked it before it's cool!10 bucks that you dogpiled on it just like the rest of /vp/
>>59149290They're not even pokefags, they're indians hired by gamefreak to do damage control online. It's more equitable to shit in a bag and do this than it is to make a proper investment in a good game. Shareholders are happy and the games sell like hotcakes either way, what's the problem besides throwing your dignity out the window? I love capitalism, and I love existing on this Earth alongside the most braindead consumers that even God couldn't create if he tried
>>59149399hi kujo
>>59149058Thought it said "Stop bein Gentiled" for a second
>>59149420so just like back in the plass "hype season" then
>>59149397I've had issues with every game in the franchise, but the mainline games have always had plenty of content to satisfy me for hundreds of hours. This shit is so barebones that I don't know how anyone could defend it. Only 2 formats, barely any items, 186 mons, no offline facilities and the game throws bots at you when you lose so your feefees don't get hurt. It's pathetic. Maybe it'll be decent 2-3 years once it has the amount of content it was supposed to launch with.
>>59149397Fuck you cum guzzler Pokemon Y was the last title I paid money for in this franchise
>>59149516>I've had issues with every game in the franchise, but the mainline games have always had plenty of content to satisfy me for hundreds of hours. This shit is so barebones that I don't know how anyone could defend it.but enough about legends arceus
>>59149526>he bought kalass anywaylmao you reap what you sow spermy
Modern Pokemon fans deserve this. They just keep eating the shit and pretending it’s actually fine dining before gamefreak gives them a load of even worse shit. The only reason I follow Pokemon anymore is to see how bad the games can get.
>>59149058#ThankYouGameFreak
>>59149639That was when I knew the fans were too far gone.
>retards actually getting mad an app stated to be a straight battle sim of the Game Freak engine shockingly isn't a smogtard rip-off OR in fact a whole Game Freak game built around the battle sim shell
>>59149890How does the poo taste?
>>59149416smartest bort
>>59149913Dunno, don't eat spin off shite just because it has "Pokémon" slapped on it like you slop-eaters.I'm also not a blind retarded fucker either and knew exactly the battle sim app was going to be basically a battle sim app and not the third coming of a 3D console spin-off wank, but free for niggers this time. Funnily enough, it turned into a free battle sim and not a free console game. Pay more attention. 'Else stop bitching about knowing nothing about the slop you consume.
>>59149397Last pokemon game I legally paid for was Alpha Sapphire back in 2015.
>>59149058Literally one guy
>>59149936The irony when someone on X complain about this game requiring internet to play. Like, don't you need internet to play Showdown as well?
>>59149170Most of these gacha live service games are buggy as fuck even years later due to the monthly updates and tweaks that constantly break shit. The biggest problem with Champions the curated selection of usable mons/items. Allowing Inshiteroar to dominate the meta in the very first season is just stupid.
>>59149890>Lol look at these fucking idiots expecting a game to be competently made, I'm so intelligent and jaded
>>59149324Cute Kusanali!
>>59149972
>>59149972>>59149936What do you want me to say, congratulations you're a retard? You knew who was making it and likely shat on them for their efforts on BDSP. Staggering the battle sim game is as competently programmed as /vp/'s assertions of their skills on BDSP were. What's not staggering is fuckwit retards not actually paying attention to the details because "Pokémon Champions" drove all sane rational thought out her stupid fucking head with dreams of FINALLY becoming Ash Ketchum IRL without having to buy a Switch to do it.
>>59149969Only shitty live service games remain broken and die off. It's not like Champions is dropping your connection every 10 minutes or turning your Switch into a brick. As far as live service goes, it has a rather successful launch
>the only 2 opinions about champions you're allowed to have is that it's a perfect game or that it's irredeemable garbage
>>59149058>You're still going to play itlmao
>>59149397>the frog realises the water is too hot and leaves>GET BACK! WHY ARE YOU AWARE NOW? WHAT CHANGED?
>>59150686Welcome to the modern internet, where nuanced discussion makes you look like a cocksucker or ballbuster no matter what you say because extremist opinions and retarded takes designed to farm engagement for clout (and in some cases, profit) because that's the only way anyone will pay attention to your posts.Remember to thank daddy corpo for monetizing everything!
>>59149705Over half of those “fans” are Mossad bots that spend billions of dollars (pennies to Israel BTW) on shitty products to justify making products even shittierIt’s the reason why 343i wasn’t immediately atomized after releasing CE anniversary.
>>59149397Unlike the single player side of the games, competitive has improved with every gen from gen 1 to gen 9. This was the first time competitive got worse.
>>59149890It's not even the full battle sim though. Like I understand if there are restrictions for ranked battles. That's how the game has always been played; figuring out the best team given a set of restrictions is what makes Pokemon fun. I do expect, however, everything to at least be present for unranked or free play battles.
incredible game for casuals who won't notice/care about the minor bugsawful game for hardcore players due to aforementioned bugs and things like missing items and limited tactical optionsnot gonna put money into this, but I haven't needed to and the team building is really easy and fast to do given I have an almost complete form dex. not really surprising that most people I see liking this are smogon players since it's an easy and low cost entry to a new format and people complaining are vgc players who were sold on something more.
>>59149058>just CONSOOM
>>59151008big ass nigga
>>59150841Casuals don't give a fuck about competitive Pokemon battling to begin with.
>>59149936saar pls...
>>59149397If you think pokemon has always been shit, why are you even here?
>>59149453Gen 8 was the first time they really got to flex what this marketing scheme can get away with yes.
>>59149936>the battle sim app was going to be basically a battle sim appNah it's a shitty modern !gacha. If it was an actual battle sim, the mega evo and switch timing would actually work consistently.
>it's growing on me>It's f-f-funWhy does anybody care about launch anyway? It's going to be huge just face it
>>59149416I saw the game starters at launch and thought the game was shit.I then bought the game 2-3 years later because i saw a friend play it and i thought the game looked kinda alright.I begrudgingly picked emboar, played it and i thought the game was kinda alright (with platinum/hgss being good because cooler starters+extra underground/2 regions) so i bought the better edition like the good goy i was.I didn't buy gen 6.
>>59151168nta btw
I can kinda wonder about the long-term staying power of this game. As usual the name alone will bring players at the start, but is this something that a casual fan will like that much? And with the competitive players the experience probably isn't what they want, at least right now.
>>59149058There HAS to be a middle ground between>this game is the worst trash imaginable and the devs should kill themselvesand>this is the best game ever and if you complain you're a meanie and you'll play it anyway Can't these niggers just admit that the game launched half-baked and there are legit critics to be made but it's still fun to play most of the time and will improve
>>59151247Americans are incapable of middle grounds
Pokemon Champions is a game for blast-havers.
>>59151247>>59151282The issue is the missing backbone when the product (The games in this case) is degrading with the only positive outlook being later fixes. How much spit do you need to find in a cheeseburger without the meat or even the cheese to realize that those making it don't give a shit about you because you bought anyway?The studios associated with Pokemon in general don't care about providing a genuine interest in their own work because they got away with too much starting notably with the infamous dexcut excuse which was a lie before the game even came out. They need to be held accountable for the dumb shit they are doing. Even a single flop in sales in the mainline games or Champions through the ingame purchases would instill the fact that they can't fuck around anymore. And this time, do it like other campaigns that have happened when a big company made disgusting choices. Not stupid shit like #Thankyougamefreak which was not only intentionally misinterpretated as giving the studio a pass for shitty conditions (Which after the latest game releases on the switch turned turned out to be bullcrap), a simple but dismissive name that leaves no room for getting twisted or spinned into something positive, which is a faggy thing the shills do which is also where the "It's growing on me" stems from, it's a sugarcoated version of being tolerable which is a net negative term when it comes to sales.
>>59151313Is this your first live service game?
>>59151313I'm kot big into twatter hashtag shit, but how about:#notmypokemon#failfreak#gaymfreak#niggertendo#trannymon
>>59151194What race are you?
>>59149058Give it a chance guys, it's just a small indie company trying it's best
>>59151328>npc postWhy is it a live service game in the first place?Nobody but shills likes live service games.
>>59151349It fits with how VGC handles regulations, regularly rotating in and out the Pokemon you are able to use.
>>59151247There are legit criticisms to be made like how fucking choppy it is and the shitty mobile UI but the problem is that a lot of the criticism is taking the form of>VGC is gay where’s 6v6 and all the Pokemon programmed in so we can force our own format
>>591513596v6 private matches have been standard since day 1 in literally every other Pokemon game. Are you surprised that people are disappointed at their absence?
i truly havent encountered any performance issues playing on switch 1. what the fuck have the done with their unoptimised ass code that the game exclusively runs badly on the more powerful console kek
>>59151359>make game with the intent of easing casuals into pvp>don't include the things casuals like to appeal to themIt's a pretty valid thing to complain about. The game offers no good reason to be olayed ontop of all of its more in-septh problems.
>>59151382I’m not surprised I’m exasperated. The games don’t support 6v6 this is a bandaid that needs to be ripped off from the western community literally every fucking game>where rank 6v6 why no full team? Anime is full team me want anime
>>59151402Who is asking for it to be ranked?
>>59151328>Immediate ad hominem tacticChampions is flatout bad, the launch was horrible. Constantly defending bad decisions is what led to the state it launched in the first place.
How on earth did the mega/switching/turn order bug get through to the final product?Apparently they're "aware" of it now, but people thought that was fucking weird when they playd the pre-PAX demo and they still didn't set about fixing it.How can they fuck up that badly?
>>59151419It's not ad hominem to point out that you have no experience with what you're complaining about.
>>59149397I think you severely underestimate how many people here abandoned the franchise and just come here for romhacks and pokegirl porn.
>>59151422I actually did some personal testing for some really niche interactions and was surprised they all worked fine, then came online and saw the mega shitoon, was pretty surprising after seeing how they got all the shot I tested right. Tho I did forget if you select weather ball and the weather changes before you attack you use the weather balm of the weather it was when you selected it??? Idk, that sounds sus to me. If it’s Sunny, weather ball should be sun.
>>59151410It happens everywhere with every game release, google 6v6 ranked you’ll get Reddit posts from every single gen lol
>>59151359>programmed in
>>59151424>UUUhh you have no experience what you're complaining about Really smooth rebuttal. The selection of Pokemon is bad, the game is buggy and left unfinished in its coding where gender-specific Pokemon like Gallade slip by or what >>59151422 has mentioned, the framerate is locked to 30 on both consoles with no legitimate excuse for the switch 2 (Because why in heaven would they provide a 60 fps experience day 1 for it?), the game is inspired by Stadiums and yet provides less content and isn't even a smooth experience in the menus department.But sure, let's focus on the insinuation that this is supposedly the first time for me with a live service game. Forget the issues the game is plagued with despite the years of reference material and backing it received, forget the people behind it picked Stadium because they enjoyed it and somehow provided a more lacking experience. It's Anon's first live-service game and so everything he says no matter the objectivity doesn't count because they COULD fix it later. Why should an acceptable experience be a thing at launch?Bite me, Champions fumbled the easiest formula ever and defending it is the pinnacle of mindless shilling.
>>59151451>The selection of Pokemon is badThey are gonna drip feed more over time, that's how love service games work. They cut shit out to add back as content later because if they drop everything at once retards like you would complain that the game is "dead" and "has no content" after a week.>the game is buggy and left unfinished in its coding where gender-specific Pokemon like Gallade slip byThere are bugs but that is a given with any online game and they already issued a patch to fix the actual major bugs. Who gives a shit about gender, you trying to fuck your Gallade or battle with it?>the framerate is locked to 30 on both consoles with no legitimate excuse for the switch 2This is retarded, I agree. The devs were probably rushed to push this out so they just pushed the same version to all platforms. Look forward to a shitty "Switch 2 Version" upgrade for $10 in a few months.>Stadiums and yet provides less contentStadiums was a single player game so it had a lot more content, this is JUST a battle sim. I don't know why you people think it was gonna have all this content, we've known for months this was just a battle sim not a full fucking mainline game. It barely qualifies as a side game. It's essentially just a program for doing ranked battles instead of going through SVIf you were expecting this to be Stadium instead of a live service pseudo gacha game when it has been marketed as a live service psuedo gacha since day fucking 1, that's on you. Stop listening to retarded streamers who hype the game up as something it's not for clicks.
>>59151328No mine was Concord
>>59151494>defending this massive pile of garbage
>>59151494>literally just a battle sim>fails at thatgame is shit dtop white knighting
>>59151494>Stop listening toAHH THERE IT IS, THE FUCKING EXCUSE THAT I DIDN'T EVEN PLAYED THE GAME. If the people who made the fucking game used Stadium verbally as an example then I am gonna fucking expect it to take a few pages out of it, NOT LITERALLY BEING LESS THAN IT AT FUCKING LAUNCH.Stop excusing horrendous decisions.
>>59151494>Defending the lack of variety at launch>Below 1/4th of the total Pokemon across two generations>With even fewer items>In an IP that "prides" itself on how you want to play itHoly fuck you shills have lost the plot entirely.
>>59149890Showdown:>Free to play with non-intrusive ads>Has every Pokemon>Has more than every Pokemon with things like Missingno. CAPmons, and Petmod Pokemon for fun>Has every generation available and even weird unconnected games like LGPE with their own metas>Lets you play with what ever ruleset or gamemode you want, including gamemodes not possible on cartridge>Glitches are few and far between, most being visual bugs and are immediately patched>Can easily just recreate the Champions metagame anywaysChampions:>Free to Play but has predatory Battlepass shit>Has a fraction of existing Pokemon as well as existing items and moves>Only available generation is its own generation>You can only play BSS or VGC, no 6v6 singles/doubles or whacky fun gamemodes>People have already found shit like Female Gallade and Haze healing the use for 90%, as well as other minor bugs like Leech Seed wrongly claiming it drains 1/16th the opponent’s HP>The only thing Champions can do that Showdown does is do some April Fools shit by giving all the new Megas mid abilities and launching in such a shitty state
>>59149058read it has stop being gentile, god i am mind broken
>>59149332It was like this before that too.
>use trick to pawn off choice scarf>switch out and back in>have the choice scarf AGAINHow do you take a battle sim that you've already made a fucking game with and still somehow make an even less functional package
I hope Pokemon Champions flops just like Pokemon Unite
Nigga
>>59155161Okay but why did you delete it?
I haven't played the game yet but from what I've seen so far it's just the Incineroar show again?I find that very disappointing. The changes to status conditions made me think the devs aren't afraid of drastically changing up the game, isn't it time for more substantial buffs and nerfs to Pokemon? How many gens are we going to have the same Intimidate/Fake Out/Parting Shot song and dance? The roster is very small too, the meta could have been designed any way they wanted. The game is just not as experimental as I hoped it'd be.
>>59149137>>59149107What money?
>>59155474Just prankster tailwind and stone axe ;)
>>59155474>t's just the Incineroar show againYes, the game still revolves around intimidate fake out. Until they actually nerf intimidate, incin is going to be a fixture of vgc forever. It doesn't look like they're interested in changing anything either, considering incin is all over the game's promo material and is seen in menus and stuff in game. It's very much the incin show.
>>59155463A butthurt mod molested him.
>>59155474>The game is just not as experimental as I hoped it'd be.Because it's not supposed to be. It's supposed to be VGC, just abstracted off into its own game so Game Freak can stop fucking up their own battle system for the tenth time in Gen 10.
>>59155474Incineroar will continue being meta until moral improves
