>>59184236You aren’t ready for this TRVKE:>There hasn't been a single good mainline title since B2/W2X and Y? Gen 5 sucked.>6. There is a severe problem with pedophilia in this fandom;Nope. It’s not a problem. Kys agecuck>7. Pokémon has not stood up as a reference of quality in any regard since HG/SS, released in 2009;Hgss was boring trash.>9. It is estimated 68% of all fanart of Pokémon is pornographic or erotic in nature, which includes fan animations, art and fanfiction;Good.>10. A franchise that lives off inciting arousal towards its characters is not using its intellectual property — it is prostituting it;Good
>>59184236>>1. THE LAST TIME POKÉMON WAS RELEVANT, it was because a Pokémon assaulted a child;no, it was because a retard wrote a fanfic that game freak was too lazy to delete. Pokepedos just dogpiled on the pokemon because they cunts. even though any other fandom would have unanimously blamed the writer and the hacker. Shit, any other fandom would have collectively rejected it as non-canon even IF it was actaully canon. sad thing is your other points are spot on, had you just left out the first sentence and used a different OP, you would have been one of the the few good pokefans, but you didn't so I'll unfortunately have to deem you a faggot.
>>59184261>Nope. It’s not a problem. Kys agecuckPoint proven.
>>59184261>Kalosfag is a pedophile like clockwork
>>59184272This is a truce thread, I don't want to fight it out with Typedos.Please notice: It is a Forbes article discussing Pokémon. This hasn't happened even after games are released. Mainstream media does not care for Pokémon anymore, yet the leak was so huge it broke in mainstream media.
>>59184261>>There hasn't been a single good mainline title since B2/W2>X and Y? Gen 5 sucked.hi kojo
>>59184236agreed
>>59184298who the hell is kojo
>>59184272ESL and thus opinions are invalid.
>>59184236I was about to stop buying games since gen 5 anyway. No loss for me.
>>59184285>This hasn't happened even after games are releasedPretty sure Forbes is a shitrag nowadays that has articles for every new vidya release. They interview Concord devs on the reg ffs.
>>59184236>5. Pokémon is not worth the $50 price tagYeah, SwSh, SV and Z-A are barely worth 40 dollars WITH the DLC included and LGPE and BDSP aren't even worth the cost of the cartridges they're printed on.>9. It is estimated 68% of all fanart of Pokémon is pornographic or erotic in nature, which includes fan animations, art and fanfictionHonestly not surprising, I see essentially no fanart for gens 8, 9 and to a lesser extent 7 that isn't porn, and rightfully so because gens 8 and 9 are only good for the porn>11. If you played R/B in your Gameboy back in the 90s and you are still a fan, you are nearing 40-50 years old. There is no reason to continue lingering in this fandom, and it is weird if you do.It would be ok if the games were still good, but they aren't, so it's just sunk cost fallacy at this point which is more sad than weird.
>>59184236>>2. There hasn't been a single good mainline title since B2/W2, an excruciating 14 (fourteen) years ago;>>7. Pokémon has not stood up as a reference of quality in any regard since HG/SS, released in 2009;Why are Unovabros so retarded
>>59184471What did he mean by this? Is he stupid)
>>59184471Cope nu genner
>>59184236Pokegirls are made for porn, big deal
i too enjoy reading copy pasted words and text on made up images "leaked" by gamefrick in order to continue talking about sex on anonymous imageboards. and pokemon. have u guys seen the gaslite files.Unova Sucks
>>59184236>1. THE LAST TIME POKÉMON WAS RELEVANT, it was because a Pokémon assaulted a child;Meds, now>2. There hasn't been a single good mainline title since B2/W2, an excruciating 14 (fourteen) years ago;Correct, but hardly a truth nuke>3. Good Pokémon games are ONLY made by third parties;Of course, that's why BDSP are the best pokemon games to date>4. Sword / Shield & Scarlet / Violet locked content in the disc to sell it as DLC;Yes. This however has been a practice since the third version existed, it's just more noticeable now because they pivoted to DLC.>5. Pokémon is not worth the $50 price tag;We are in agreement>6. There is a severe problem with pedophilia in this fandom;Projection>7. Pokémon has not stood up as a reference of quality in any regard since HG/SS, released in 2009;You are contradicting yourself to pad the list>8. The only franchise that has ever dwelled in a similar abyss as Pokémon is Sonic;Correct, but irrelevant>9. It is estimated 68% of all fanart of Pokémon is pornographic or erotic in nature, which includes fan animations, art and fanfiction;Yes and? It's hardly indicative of anything.>10. A franchise that lives off inciting arousal towards its characters is not using its intellectual property — it is prostituting it;Again, projection>11. If you played R/B in your Gameboy back in the 90s and you are still a fan, you are nearing 40-50 years old. There is no reason to continue lingering in this fandom, and it is weird if you do.Why?
>irrelevant manchild spreg once again re-litigates her manchild seethe complaints with Pokémon for remaining a child=focused franchise, instead of throwing the baby out with the bathwater and focusing on her autistic entitled retarded arseAnd if any of that were objectively true, you wouldn't need to cry about it continuing to succeed, despite your issues and complaints with the thing in 2026.
>>59184236>1:Poketopia came out like a month ago.>2:Depending on how you look at it there have been exactly zero good games or the last one is just as valid is B2/W2. Most of the major design problems are identical.>3: See above. >4: That is bad, yes.>5: Mostly correct. Game have a distinctive mid shelf feel around them.>6:Yes.>7: See above. The Gameboy games got away with a lot because they were on the gameboy. The GBA games were already pretty mid shelf compared to other rpg's. The DS games, my favorites, were downright embarrassing. Play something like Devil Survivor, then Pokemon Diamond, and tell me this is excusable. >8: Dragon Ball? Naruto? Really, any major shounen franchise. Star wars? Star Trek? Terminator? Alien?>9: I've seen worse fandoms in that regard. >10: Pokemon LIVES off nostalgia, not arousal. If you look at the majority of merchandise, the thing that actually makes the big bucks, most of it is fairly non sexual in nature. The anime was worse in most regards during the heights of Pokemania.>11: Pokemon had pretty long legs. I grew up with gen 1-4 (Cause, you know, it's not like every gameboy was destroyed the moment the GBA came out) and I'm nearing 30. I don't hang out with children, and most of my interaction with the fandom is... here.
>>59185212>5. Pokémon is not worth the $50 price tag;>We are in agreementSlight problem there. NO video game is worth $50. But you and I both know there's going to be an absolute fucking FLEET of braindead little bastards here ACTUALLY going to spend $100+tax+tip+$50 DLC for GTA6 and unironically try and tell people it was good value. While also shitting on Pokémon not being $40 so the povvos can buy it alongside nigger simulator.Industry pricing might actually change if you faggots took a hard-line vs ALL price increases across the board. But when you're being hypocritical cunts over it, it'll never change and the fact outside poverty zones, people have no issue with paying them prices just proves how little worth your voices are.
>>59185303So you are in agreement to buy my feces for 50$ right? since if you don't, I'll call you poorfagand brown.
>>59185328>the fact outside poverty zones, people have no issue with paying them prices just proves how little worth your voices areI don't buy nigger simulator, why would I buy manchild shit-in-a-box?
>>59185339kill yourself, literal shitposter.
>>59185348Concession accepted. It's telling I outright told you you DO have a choice of what video game to consume and don't have to follow the crowd, the way I watched the world buy nigger simulator (well, more like "third worlder simulator" lately, don't think they've had a black protag for a while) but didn't spend one red cent on it and all you have to say in reply is seething powerless invective, as you KNOW my point holds merit. Can always just *not* follow Pokémon any more, but you can't do that either as you're too emotionally invested in it and desperate for it to validate you again.
Ivyshart is a zoophile.
>>59185361Just so you know I made >>59185212, and you've been having the follow up convo with some complete rando.
>>59185445Just so's you know: All you bort bots are the same to me. Enjoy continuing to mald over Pokémon though.
>>59185576Fuck off retardYou don't care about pokemon, so you don't belong hereAll you come to do is shitpost, so kill yourself
>>59185361>>59184236The bottom line of this thread is that you should feel embarrassed for liking Pokémon.That is the real truth nuke.
>>59185576>Enjoy continuing to mald over Pokémon though.You certainly seem to be the expert on the matter
