>they made ANOTHER pokemon game that looks worse and has less content than one that came out 20 years ago>cant even play offline against bots>no single player content at allwho even still supports this fucking company? even yugioh Master Duel managed to have a molecule of single player content.
>>59152297>>cant even play offline against botsDont worry theres no shortage of bots to play against online
>>59152297>another campaignshitter screeching about being left out because he’s too scared to play PvPkek
>>59152297HOLY FUCKING SOUL
What’s sad is pbr was considered dog shit in its day compared to Stadium. how far we’ve fallen
>>59152297Game Freak/ILCA would have a stroke try to make all these animations
>>59152332>What’s sad is pbr was considered dog shit in its day compared to Stadium.Why? I can understand compared to Orre games because PBR didn't have a story mode, but Stadium?
>>59152297>neon colosseum in 2026 if nintendo worked on pokemonhttps://youtu.be/0hksXdms8eA?si=5xf1GmbnXsyU1nrB
>>59152297>enter battle>shoves her ass in his faceWhat did Pabst Blue Ribbon mean by this?
>>59152325Stop treating video games like they're serious business.
>>59152297Is the WII just stronger than the entire fucking switch line or something? You can see the game chug frames when loading the models but everything I see about this game looks infinitely smoother than every switch title even though there's less going on in the battles. What the fuck are they doing over there at these companies
>>59152325These kind of games are meant to onboard casual players into the competitive side of the game. You can't just throw them into the deep end and expect them to swim which is why single player content is pretty important even if it's just a fleshed out version of running frontiers.
>>59152325It adds variety to the game outside of just fighting sweatlords ad nauseam.And given that the game seems to be aimed at getting Gofags (or just returning players) into playing VGC, it's a good interim. Instead of just throwing them into the deep end and having them rage quit and never play again.
>>59152364Pokemon just likes to hire no name mobile devs who can't optimize for shit. If Nintendo, capcom, or square Enix got to work on Pokemon they'd blow PBR out of the water first try. Just look at how insane battles look in the monster hunter stories games
>>59152364gamefreak is full of boomers. that's the issue
>itt: broke dsbortion seething that a free game only has 80% of the content of a 80$ game
>>59152297It's fucking unreal how much this absolutely destroys Champions in presentation
>>59152390Trvke.
>>59152390It doesn't even have 80% of the Pokémon, never mind 80% of the content.
>>59152297ChampionSisters............
>>59152339Lack of side content and worthwhile features. the online was plagued with legendaries and the single player was just random literal who trainers and not Lance, Cynthia etc. Stadium had minigames and playing the game cart on the TV. It probably doesn’t help that competitive Pokemon wasn’t actually viable without hacking at the time. A pure battling game with faggots showing shiny hacked legendaries online was seen as a lame cash in with not much to offer.
>>59152373>you’re supposed to learn playing competitive by not playing competitivestrange campaignshitter cope
>>59152390>muh broke boogiemanAny sane person would pay full price for a fully featured battle Sim over this fecal matter
>>59152390>"b-but its free"thats not an excuse. it wouldnt be a problem having less overall pokemon, items, and other stuff if that meant more time went towards other parts of the game. especially since they didnt have to spend time making a whole region or crafting an in depth story. thats the issue.
>>59152419how do I use armarouge in pbr?
>>59152439>thats not an excuseIt actually is.
>>59152373If that were the case, the campaign would enforce 3v3 Singles and 4v4 Doubles picking from your current team of six instead of make-believe "your six VS however many the opponent has" matches with at least one mandatory instance of a double battle, and as of SV, it'll be one that has zero confidence in the player to grasp the concept, so you'll get free stat buffs all throughout said mandatory double battle.
>>59152434you dont inherently learn to play competitive by playing competitive in a game that doesnt even explain to players how most stats work or even how fucking natures work in THE MAIN GAMES.
>>59152339I know for me, the lack of rentals in this and the gen 3 games were pretty bad points. I know PBR technically has a few rentals, but I mean like Stadium & 2 had.Those rentals were largely how I was able to play the game with my friends and family, since nobody else played the real games enough.And so without those, Coliseum, XD, and PBR were pretty much single player only for me
>>59152443>why can't i use a gen 9 pokémon in a gen 4 gameBecause it didn't exist back then?I'm not sure what your assbackwards "logic" is.
>>59152343What's that music? Sounds familiar but not from Pokemon.
>compare a purchaseable game with a free phone tier gameHuh? Why are retards like this?
>>59152652The free game is not even trying so I guess that explains why it's so fucking garbage
>>59152652Fortnite is also a free game and you could play that shit for 1,000 fucking hours.
>>59152640Its the neon colosseum theme from battle revolution
>>59152443How do I use Ursaluna in Champions?
>>59152859You wait for when daddy GameFreak says "open your mouth, honey" so you can take Ursaluna's fat cock in it in the form of the update that will invariably add it, because Ursaluna is still one of those mons you HAVE to buy Legends: Arceus for, and they'll be damned if that selling point is rendered moot for too long.
>>59152339There was no content. Just 2 preset rental teams, and that's it.
>>59152684Fortnite is to actual good shooters as Champions is to SV VGC
>>59152827No it is definitely not www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2Sz_BD2CBA . It feels like something from F-Zero GX mixed with one of the themes from Lego Junkbot.
>>59152325>Yawnfag still trying to force his meme buzzword
Why do so many retards on /vp/ seethe about being forced to interact with other people in a pokemon game? These aren't single player RPGs, they're competitive monster catching games.
>>59153231Dude the pokemon company/gamefreak don't even treat these games as truly competitive beyond the free advertising that having an esports gets them. If they did then this game wouldn't have come out now it would have come out like 10 years ago.
>>59153231>they're competitive monster catching gamesSo where is this in Champions?
>free-to-play, mobile-accessible battle sim in shockingly NOT being exactly the same as a paid $50 home console battle sim title>third world poors seethe they did not in fact get an equivalent of a home console battle sim game for nigger friendly prices but instead got a nigger friendly pvp battle sim
>>59152314So fucking real, I've been sweeping people with Whimsicott because none of these retards can comprehend that Dragon is ineffective against Fairy. It's happened to me in 2 different matches now and it's actually confusing me. Either the pokemon fanbase is more retarded than I thought or I'm fighting literal robots on the waterhead setting. I have no idea which. The game does tell you type effectiveness as you're selecting a move but that's assuming these morons can read.
>>59152325Dilate and 41%, troon.
>>59152297Trixie Tang has ass.
>>59152297>>59152314you can tell they're bots because:1. they have a standard name like "John" and their mons aren't named either2. they always make their decision first3: the decisions they make are as if their AI has been ripped straight from Colosseum, like using Psych-Up or Agility in the most inappropriate waysthey usually appear after you lose 2-3 matches below hyperball rank. I don't know if they still appear after that.
>>59152297It's simple, anon. You can keep on playing PBR in your room an d no one would bother you about that
>>59152297Does SV have single player content in its multiplayer menu?
>>59152390>80% of the content of a 80$ gameBut anon, Pokemon Stadium 2 was a $60 game, not $80.
>>59153231Pokemon is a baby game, and the idea of "competitive" baby games will always be a sad joke. It's the same thing with Smash. At least Mario Kart fans don't pretend that their turbo-casual party game is the same as iRacing or Assetto Corsa.
>>59152339The only relevant complaints are basically just these two things:>lack of proper rentals, the game instead gave you 6 rental passes and a mode where you could modify them via trade battles in the gateway colosseum>no minigamesTo be quite frank, the fact that people put stadium in a pedestal over rental pokemom and minigames of all things then complain when you can’t transfer pokemon into nso stadium is fucking baffling. If you discount these two completely unimportant things the game not only has more modes than stadium ever did but its based on gen4 metagame and visually has more interesting backdrops, an announcer, and pokemon animations where the pokemon actually run up to each other to perform melee attacks.There is zero valid reason, in my opinion, to pretend PBR is worse than stadium just because of fucking minigames and rentals. It is absolutely batshit insane to shit on the game because of a mode that was meant to be a fucking side distraction and not even a good one.
>>59152297Yugi-oh Master Duel should genuinely be the Baseline for free to play games.Battle Passes use in game currency, New cards are pretty easy to obtain. Themed events semi-regularly. In-game ban lists that update with regularity. Single player content that not only teaches you how to play the game but also shows you how each of the staple decks wants to function.The only issue it has is that Modern Yugi-oh is so hyper aggressive that most players will get obliterated on turn 1 and give up out of frustration.
>>59156666Nice post anon, unfortunaley *Ash Blossom*
>>59152297Man this game takes a massive shit all over Pokemon Champions
>>59152376>or square EnixRemember those overblown memes about pokemon models having high poly counts? Squeenix is like that if it wasn't a meme.
>Wii Game>Running in real time>Better visuals that the latest gameWhat Davy Jones bullshit is this?
>>59158508Graphics don't matter.
>>59158513then they should just have forked showdown
>>59153231If I remember right they weren't even originally going to add PVP to the games. Through and through they're supposed to be adventure games.
>>59158546Game Freak's biggest mistake
>>59158513>every game released these past 7 years has looked worse than BR, which came out 20 years ago>"gRApHiCs dOn'T mAtTer" the retarded failfreak shill utterswell yeah, graphics and more importantly quality don't to them matter at all, because gamefreak knows that they can put out the shittiest slop and trash like you will gobble it up and thank them for it
>>59160322You sound mad.
A good competitive game will teach you how to play, getting you ready for when you go online. Pokemon can't do this because its devs obviously do not understand their own game. How can you teach what you don't understand?
>>59158513I thought we had dex cuts in exchange for things like graphics?
>>59152339Stadium had minigames, gym leader castle, the GB tower with speed settings, you can trade, manage your boxes, take pictures of your mons for printing (Stadium 1 only) , and in 2 you also had the pokemon Quiz, room customization and Earl's Pokemon Academy. People who say Stadium 1 and 2 don't have content are emulator niggers

>>59160338I know “the meta isn’t solved” but how hard is it to just give rental recruits their most common sets from past formats as a starting position rather than literal random stat distributions? I guess some sets are item-dependent and mons and items exist separately from one another but still.
>>59154376It’s bots. This is how EOMM works>if the player is losing too often, throw him a freebie so he doesn’t quit playing for the day>if the player is winning too often, brickwall him to ragebait him into “one more match”>we want everyone to win more than they lose, so we need a loss-sink that can’t ever ragequit, use bots to sponge losses and hand out free wins to players>make every bot dripped out in all the most expensive cosmetics imaginable to make the player more excited to spend money on cosmeticsThere are papers on how this works, it was either EA or DICE who pioneered this system and now everyone uses it.
