THE BLUE CORNER STARTS TO ATTACK
>>59149337RRRRRRIPPED BY ROAR OF TIME
>Yawnfag: here's 500 reasons as to why this game is worse than Champions:
I never liked this one compared to stadium or colosseum because i thought it was really annoying that the pokemon now had to waddle up into their opponent's face to do their attack instead of just doing it from their spot
I hope one day it can be decomplied so that we can get mods that add all the current pokemon
>>59149337nowhere near as iconic as stadium 1
>>59149402yawnfag's most viewed youtube videos are pbr animations of regigias getting seismic tossed by machop kek

>>59149297>cool ass stadiums>girls get actual dresses>banger soundtrack>soulful battle animations>announcer giving 100%
>>59149297Champions wishes it had this much Soul
>caring about spin offs>ever much less in 2026
>>59149958True, Champions isn't worth anyone's time
>>59149297I just found out recently that the announcer for this was the narrator from the anime, and I can hear it.
>>59149402I remember that being something I liked about this game, I didn't like how in the previous games they didn't actually go up to each other or make contact.

>>59149964>no, see, MY spin off shite doesn't count, because i was brainwashed into thinking it's valid as a retarded childThat just makes it all the sadder

>>59149297>>59149957>>59150053Take me fucking back
Should this board just be called /vpr/ - Pokemon Retro? It feels pointless to exist whenever everything new is so hated on principle (except Pokopia because it's a BASED different developer) and everything old is great, so why bother even talking about new games anymore? Just make it a retro board. Rebrand it. Sick of this constant cycle of outrage
>>59150106The hug box is over on reddit sissy.
>>59149964BASED
>>59150106People like Pokopia here, Champions is genuinely a shit game
>>59150106have you seen pkm unite the new stuff tend to be shit
>>59150193NTA but Reddit hates this game and new all non-Pokopia games too, this just shows how you live in a vacuum
>>59150286No it just shows you have your head shoved up your own ass. Go make a discord group then fag. /vp/ isn't your personal hug box
>>59150291Why are you so mad mate? lol
>>59150293Because you aren't polishing my boot like you do for this dogshit company.
>>59150313I didn't even say I liked Champions, I was just stating a neutral fact, calm down.
>>59150329Uh huh, sure buddy. So is there a line or do I have to redeem a coupon?
>>59150332You guys are truly insane lol
>>59150339Answer the question
>>59149297luv it
>>59149297Reminder one of the biggest complaints for this game was that it looked bad for a game in 2006
>>59152279I'm pretty sure they reused a lot of assets from XD and Colosseum, which reused assets from Stadium.
>>59152653They did, but they also cleaned up a lot from the Colosseum games as well as adding Gen 4 mons, something NuGame Freak/ILCA would never do.
>a paid gaime beats a free phone tier gameHOLY SHIT STOP THE PRESSES
>>59149414Kojo would 41% if that happened because then no one would give a remote fuck about Champions.Add some buffs to weaker Pokemon for added effect.
>>59149957>it took the mainline games 22 years to catch up to what stadium 2 did in 2000What the fuck happened with this franchise?
>>59149297Pokemon fans really fit the "old stuff was always good". I wonder how many years till they start saying that Gen 7 was actually enjoyable and not ass.
>>59150017>Shills don't even defend modern releases anymore, they just pretend nothing was ever good
>>59154258It's ran by a bunch of lazy hacks
>>59152673Plenty of free games are better than Champions
>>59150106we post on /vr/no nugens allowed
>>59154258>catch upThe mainline game animations still look significantly worse though
>>59154309To be a shill, I got to be invested in propping up the brand as a whole. I don't, I only give a shit about the mainline games. And that affords me the moral high ground on shitting on slop eating retards, be they manchild fucks who's best years were 20 years ago, or the drone fuckers continuing to eat the sin off drek today because I was too old to give a fuck about spin offs at 15 when I met Pokémon (could kinda see they were appearing to continue to push the mania), even as I got into Game Freak's games and nothing's changed since. In fact, it's only highlighted how determinedly they pitch this shit at kids, as every spin off's really just been a clone of another genre or aspect of the franchise.But hey, keep holding onto the memories of the prime of your life.
>>59152653Even with the reused assets genius sonority made a massive leap from GoD in terms of visuals and managed to put out one of the best looking wii games in its very first year
>>59154482The left can't meme.
>>59154496And you're the result of the heavy enshitification of the internet since the 2010's. Good job being a soldier for the cunts.
>>59149946the lack of the announcer is the biggest thing imo, he really makes Stadium and Battle Revolution feel like proper tournament battles whereas Champions is just some esoteric simulation of a battle like that one at the start of XD
>>59154524The irony eludes you.
If it's so good and so much better, why is no one playing it?
I had PBR and I didn't like it.>Huge visual downgrade from original trailerhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hksXdms8eA>Japanese release was rushed to launch with the Wii in December 2006, international versions had numerous updated models>So rushed that the internal names for Gen IV Pokémon aren't their final names>Music is bland ambient electronica>Character designs are boring, Colosseum Masters have less going for them than Frontier Brains>The game overall is like a Battle Frontier without any overworld content or personality, Pokétopia is more boring than White City>Only 36 rental Pokémon, in 6 premade cards. This is absolutely insulting compared to the 251 in Stadium 2 (and I'm sure quite a number of Pokémon had different versions to rent depending on the mode). This makes the original Japanese Stadium look fleshed out>The closest thing you can do to playing your DS game on a TV is by using it as a controller>Platinum update never made publicly available>Couldn't store Pokémon like the Stadium series, that was tied to the glorified screensaver that was Ranch (also never had its Platinum update outside Japan)>No story RPG mode like Colosseum or XD>No cool tutorial mode>Transferrable reward Pokémon are Surfing Pikachu, Electivire, and Magmortar, nothing to the amount the Orre games provideIt's just really underbaked, and people only remember it because the battle content looked more ambitious visually than what Game Freak was putting out 10 to 15 years later
>>59154482>I only give a shit about the mainline games >And that affords me the moral high ground on shitting on slop eating retardsSON ToT.
>>59149681>Regigigas just can't get going because of it's slow start
>>59154843>Huge visual downgrade from original trailerThat wasnt a trailer it was a proof of concept video meant for investors that ended up getting leaked
>>59155042>For investorsIt was an event in June 2006 and the trailer was publicly available from the moment it was put out.
>>59154297[Spoiler]Gen 7 turns 10 years old this year[/Spoiler]
>>59150106Pokemon hasn't been GOOD good since 2012. Yet this board still discusses it, so it's the Pokemon board.Sonic hasn't been consistently good since 2001, and yet somehow still has a fanbase.
>>59152673Yes, but with the improvements of technologies over 20 years, the quality is expected to increase, not decrease.
>>59149946I never liked the announcer in Battle Revolution. In stadium they used the actual announcer from the anime, BR used the anime narrator. Why the narrator? It was so unfitting.
>>59150106Pokopia being GKC only ruins it for me
THE OST IS BURNED INTO MY BRAINhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQrh9egB1KU&list=PLIC4rdwls2X24W97PL5FOJAZpFSeI-qr3&index=14
>>59152653Localization actually updated bunch of models. They had a platinum update for VGC but no info about.
>>59149297Isn’t this the game that literally uses 3D models from the 90s?
>>59154843The only thing underbaked here is your dogshit post.
>>59154843TRVKE
>>59150106>except Pokotopia because it's an actually decent gameThere fixed that for you cunt, now go back to pleddit or wherever you crawled from
>>59149957Fuck all the crazy gyms and arenas, this was always my favorite setting for a battle in any Pokemon game. Just two trainers throwing it down in a comfy park.
>>59149946>>59154535Sword and Shield had a bloody audience cheering in the background that changed when the leader was down to their last Pokemon. Where is that in Champions? That's even cheaper than hiring voices to do so.
>>59154496
>Games made by Game Freak and whoever they pawn the franchise to from 2020 onwards is shit (Pokopia being the exception to the rule)>Games made by other companies from the late 90s to the mid 2010s are mostly goodIt’s almost as if the games are good when a certain game studio isn’t involved.
