WinWan will literally be their last chance... if they mess it up again, beware the consequences...
>>59207768I fucking wish this was the case, but cultists are going to buy their shit regardless of how bad it is. Just look at S/V, one of the worst video games I've ever played in my life, an absolute embarrassment, and yet it sold millions.
>>59207804It's hilarious. Most people I know who played S/V thought it was mediocre. I guess that's what happens when retards get a disposable income.
>>59207804fuck off already
>>59207768>Winds/Wanes>>59207809SV was indeed mediocre. Shit graphics, great story, okay gameplay. That equals mediocre.
>>59207942Great story? You need to play other games dude.
>>59207959For a Pokémon game, it was great. You're never gonna find a literary masterpiece in a children's game.
>>59207975How would you know? You only seem to play one game.
>>59207959The standards are so abysmally low that Pokemon fans will see "guy is sad about his dog being hurt :(" and call that a good story.
>>59207989I have literally over 500 games logged on backloggs, retard.>>59208003That's not the story, you dumb nigger.
>>59208003What's baffling is the discourse to me.Criticism that gets handwaved by merely sales numbers. Like, not even rebutting the point itself in context of the game, but solely by sale.Pokemon globally is entering the mentality of the Japanese with the saying:>If you don't have anything positive to say, say nothing at allWhich is alarming if the only good thing largely mentioned is the sales figure.
>>59208028SV had a great gameplay loop! c:the region was vast and enjoyable, and exploring it all was quite fun c:really enjoyed the characters, too. though I must admit, tera raids were a bit weak compared to dynamax raids .w.
>>59208023It's like one third of it and the one that people gush about you fucking faggot. That and area zero, which is just an empty foggy pit with some alright music.
>>59208023"Bullying is le bad" or "multiverse theory lol" aren't exactly better here. Maybe play games besides pokemon.
>>59208047>It's like one third of it and the one that people gushAbsolutely not.You have no idea what the fuck you are talking about you fucking moron. You don't even know why people like the story or Area Zero. You just picked up little bits of vague information about the game and think that's representative of the whole game like a braindead retard.>>59208052Impressive for a illiterate person to be able to use 4chan, really. How do you do that? It doesn't seem to work too well though considering you didn't even read what I just fucking said.
>>59208060Why the fuck would I believe you play games besides Pokemon anon? You're clearly fine with lying through your teeth.
>>59207768The last several games have proven you can feed Pokemon fans literal dogshit and they'll eat it and ask for more.
>>59208092Because I said the story is good specifically for a POKÉMON game and because I said I played more than 500 games over the course of my life, you dumb fucking retard?>n-no ur lying cause it proves me wrong ;_;Well then go on and live in your made up fantasy world then if your feefees can't handle being wrong.
>>59208104It's not even great by pokemon game standards dude. You're actually coping and it's hilarious to watch.
>>59208116what game release has the best story in main series entries?
>>59208138that'd be [gen you like the most], of course! because any other answer will be met with "ackshually it's bad bc"
fuck what was this guy's name i remember this video is he still around?
>>59208146To be fair, nobody plays Pokemon for the story, it’s all about post game pvp.
>>59208116There is not a single mainline Pokémon game that has better writing than SV.
>>59207768>WinWan will literally be their last chance You'll buy it anyway so who cares?
>>59208146>too scared to share an actual opinion onlinedon't worry anon, no one can take away your hrt from you just for disagreeing with them. i'll go first, i like bw2 story the most
>>59208186well personally I believe P:LA has one of the better stories, alongside BW2 and SwSh. But that's just my opinions c:..also, sadly, not got any HRT to steal. but I'm pretty dang close to getting it! :Djust gotta get some assistance from this one charity I found c:
>>59208207I can't believe anyone would unironically like SwSh's non-existent "story", but I guess it just takes a literal autistic tranny. Lmao
>>59208217I genuinely believe that gen 8 is the best pokemon generation. the only blighter on it is BDSP, and even still that's gen 4 without HMs, which is pretty dang good c:
>>59208219Some people genuinely believe that shit tastes good, but that doesn't make their opinion any less insane lol
>>59208258eh, true that. I know my pokemon opinions aren't like, crazy normal, but I like what I like! c:I think gens 2, 3, and 8 have the best pokedexes, and that tierno is a fun rival, but I'm also just odd as a whole, so not too big an issue.
>>59208164>who cares?I mean you seem to care enought to reply
>>59207804And yet you still bought it
>>59208387I played the free version available on Nintendo PC™
>>59207975the last 3 pokemon games have had better stories than anything aaa has released in the past decade.
>mfw people in this thread actively defending Sword and Shields story>contrived and not well set up evil ceo again>and SV's story>evil "parent" againFeels like a bizarro thread. I get that most Pokémon fans haven't played a jrpg once in their life so seeing a small half assed taste of it at the end with area zero would warrant a reaction like that, but fucking hell. Sure having the professor dead the whole time and its robot AI as the final antagonist to shut down a time machine plot is interesting. Until you realize it only takes up 10 minutes of the final stretch of the game, and the character that's affected by it the most and his arc is resolved in a cheap 10 second cutscene that's message is "forget about grief, you have le friendship!" It was no "masterpiece" lmao
>>59208153The vast vast majority of players are not compniggers. Champions’ lukewarm reception should tell you as much.
>>59208028Not at all? If anything I see more criticism than praise, but the critics always seethe over the games selling regardless of their worthless opinions and lose their shit when someone points out that maybe Scarlet and Violet is still an enjoyable game experience even with all it's flaws.
>>59207804This is because Pokemon is not a franchise that was ever built on quality, no matter what nostalgiatards tell you. The games have always been steaming hot dogshit, the anime has always been steaming hot dogshit, Pokemon succeeded because of aggressive marketing, and that's also why it continues to do well. It's a brand.
>>59207768I've no faith in WiWa being any better than the recent shit that came out like ZA and SV. It's only going to get worse and they'll remove even more features with the tards claiming that it's a good thing
>>59207768>WinWanOP is trans
>>59208404Do you mean ZA, SV and Arceus?Or ZA, SV, and SM?Either way you're retarded lol
>>59208404Excellent bait anon, but you tried a bit too hard.
>>59207768Did he stop playing Pokemon after this video though?
>>59207809I played Violet for almost 400 hours this past year after getting back into pokemon for the first time since White. I thought it was a lot of fun, even if it is lacking graphically.
>>59208500Nobody here defended SwShit's story other than the literal tranny tripfag.And no one here called SV a masterpiece either. I said it was great for Pokémon standards. Sure, it's Baby's First JRPG in terms of story - but it's better than anything we had before, with character depth that goes beyond a puddle and a plot you couldn't predict 5h into tje game. Pokémon IS literally Baby's First JRPG, it would be retarded to expect writing quality equal to other prestigious JRPGs made for older audiences.The evil parent shtick is getting pretty old though, yeah. I hope Ohmori traumadumped enough now and can do something else now.
>>59207942>great story
>>59209274Genuinely curious anon but which aspects specifically? Graphical limitations and bugs aside, sinking 400 hours in a game with lackluster gym challenges, literal fucking school classes, and zero environmental exploration sounds insane to me
>>59209310>And no one here called SV a masterpiece either??? >>59207975Also>but it's better than anything we had before>character depth that goes beyond a puddle >le bullies bad and my parent is shit but we have Pokemons and each other!!!I do hope you realize they've done the sick Pokémon trope countless times in media before too, right?I REFUSE to believe you have actually played any Pokémon game prior to SS and SV, this has to be fucking bait.
SV were great
>>59209376Arven is well written unlike Lillie who is just coomerbait and falls for the “more dialogue = better story” trap.
>>59209327Yes.>>59209376Read the post you linked again you fucking idiot. I said you CANNOT find a masterpiece in a game like Pokémon. I said literally the opposite of what you are claiming. Are you illiterate? Character depth and muh sick Pokémon has nothing to do with each other, wtf are you talking about? I'm saying that the characters have believable personalities and aren't just one-note NPCs (see: the XY rivals). The sick Pokémon was literally just a plot device and not a major story point, and it's especially not a character trait.I've played every single mainline Pokémon game since 2000. Please don't tell me you think "I will use the box legendary for my evil plan! HAR HAR! I'm a genius, this child will never stop me - OH NO!" is a better story than what we got in SV. Cause that shit was retarded and childish even when I was 12.
>>59209410>schizo defending a children's game story this hard>as if ANY story has been goodOkay retard
>>59207768i love how the internet gets all serious about video games. very serious business guys, so important wow
>>59209501Again, it's good for a children's game story specifically, that's all I'm saying. You really are illiterate aren't you?
>>59209310We got babys actual first JRPG back in Gen 5 and you faggots couldn't even handle that.
>>59209501>th-the stories in the older games were better! new games bad!>no they weren't>well um... a-actually they're all bad! yeah!cmon nigga, really?
>>59209274I'm glad you got your money's worth anon. I haven't played since Sun and Moon and enjoy just replaying the old games.
>>59209546>couldn't even handle that.What the fuck is that even supposed to mean anon? Couldn't handle what?And gen 5 was an attempt at writing a decent story, but it got brutally infantilized by making Team Plasma and Ghetsis comically evil. The base idea for the plot is nice, but they removed every possible notion of nuance with shit like the Munna getting kicked or Ghetsis being a cartoon tier villain who can't even keep his own farce up ("If we can win people's hearts and minds, we can easily create the world that I--I mean, Team Plasma--desires!") and unironically goes "muhaha". It's very childish, even for Pokémon standards.I didn't play BW2 though so I don't know if it got much better there. I doubt it though cause it's still Ghetsis.
>>59209556>this thread is one person!!>cmon niggaSummervacation fag or newfag, call it
>>59209546And the games were better when they didn't try. In Pokémon less story is better story. Oh, we're now willing to discuss concepts such trainers and Pokémon don't being good fits for each other, or even the very morality of catching Pokémon in the first place? Doesn't matter, you clearly love your Pokémon and they love you and wants to be with you. Literally the same lesson as Gen I. All that pseudo-intellectualism just to end up at the starting point.
