Tatora is unlewdable, genderless and infertile. That's the problem!
>>59215268>fictional character is "unlewdable"That just means you're not TRYING hard enough, fuckwad!
>>59215260How were the concurrent Twitch viewers over these first 2 weeks?
>>59215242The game is so fucking lackluster
>>59215260>being hard carried by one Jap with 32k viewers
>call teammates moves out>doesn't matter cause the game weighted him to win so he hits all his rock slide flinches and scald burns with some crits just to fuck you
>cut a trillion items and mons>don't include all of the new megas, not even the new shilldog>all so CHARIZARD FROM KANTO can finally win a worlds>will inevitably lose to some chucklefuck using mega froslass or something anywayIt would be funny if it wasn't so sad
>>59215242There's ess than half of all the fully-evolved Pokemon, maybe a third of the total items, they couldn't even be bothered to include all of the ZA megas. They couldn't even include everything shown in trailers or in the menus.They released it in a barebones state, hoping people would come back with each dribble of new content, not realizing that a shitty launch will just cause people to move on.
>>59215345there'll be a different ruleset for worlds
>>59215445Yeah exactly. I’m not gonna wait eagerly with the onions face for them to trickle content. I already moved on from this shit.I actually think it was kind of retarded of them to do it like this because the current state of zoomers is that their brains got fried by porn and social media so they’re competing for their limited attention with phones and shit. So it’s pretty clear why they’ve already lost and this shit failed spectacularly.
>>59215242Pokefags really need to play more videogames.This is the fate of every competitive game that's not a shooter, even then they have a drop from their peaks too. Casuals will ALWAYS get filtered and leave.
>>59215481It's especially bad for Pokemon because there are no alternate rulesets. Even in other competitive games you can usually play unranked modes that differ slightly and make it more fun for casuals. There is no such thing for Champions. You can't even host custom team sizes in private battles.
>>59215445I cant believe some faggots are defending this Live Service bullshit, but muh regulations, Foh
>>59215493It could just be ignorance.
>>59215345The item cuts are annoying for now, but there are more than enough Pokemon in the current ruleset to make for a balanced regulation. Also Worlds is going to use the M-B ruleset so there will be more Pokemon and presumably more items.
>>59215493This is how VGC has worked since 2009. The first game introduces a limited Pokemon selection, then each season/year/ruleset adds more back in until a new gen comes out and resets everything back to the base.
>>59215242The “competitive” game has no competitive build or tutorial features, and requires you to have twenty tabs open in a web browser because the billion dollar gook company does not understand good game design
>>59215565ThisThey had an opportunity with the dailies, to make the dailies principles of good strategy that are difficult to tutorialize. Things like, "have a pokemon behind Substitute use Leech Seed" or "have a pokemon use a pivot move after being attacked by an enemy", or "have a slower pokemon act before a faster opponent because of a speed reduction" that are really self evident why they're good strategies after you experience them a few times, but newer players may not consider. Or maybe have this under the pokemon specific challenges, that iirc are all currently just "Use the pokemon X number of times" The fact that not a single effort was spent helping new players bridge the gap, and the tutorial outright teaches bad lessons, is a shame. I think I genuinely learned more about competitive from Earl's Pokémon Academy in Pokémon Stadium 2. I think Earl's is the single time I have ever heard a piece of official pokemon media state "Super effective doesn't mean they die, it means they take 2x damage. Using non SE STAB may be a better idea if your SE move is weak, using a Grass move on Steelix, even though it isn't weak to it, is probably better than using a Ground move on it, even though it is weak to it, because Steelix has a billion Defense and like no Special Defense"
>>59215345I’m more annoyed at how dogshit some of the new megas are. It’s been 12 fucking years how do these chucklefucks still refuse to acknowledge how good megas are created? You might as well not even have brought them back.
>>59215744>Super effective doesn't mean they die, it means they take 2x damage.

how's the sword and shield boycott going
>>59215565most people play minecraft with a wiki open
>>59215873You don’t even need to boycott this ppl just don’t care enough to wait for content to drip feed
>>59215242Like any game that's focused purely on PVP, the casuals eventually get tired of losing over and over to the autistic sweats who infest every step of the system, so you're left with nothing but sweats and viewers.
>>59215890I think the actual issue is both the casual and the sweats already got tired of waiting for it to get shit
>>59215902Western sweats sure, but jap sweats are content and grinding away 24/7 because they HAVE to be active to maintain their place on the rankings.
>>59215242>Gacha for Pokémon>Pay real money to adjust values and keep "rentals">Dexcut>Items cutShowdown exists and is better and free.
>>59215873Not good seeing everyone back on their knees sucking Game Freak's cock with Champions
>>59215910>unofficial unpolished slop>better Bitch please. I can’t wait for the day Nintendo nukes that site and all you plebs cry
>>59215260>tons of people playingIt's impossible to tell how many people are active.>Open Twitch>8.5k viewersWhy do you lie?>active generalTrue, a miracle for this shithole of a board. Still, it's steadily getting slower.>youtubers still getting good viewsYou mean people only still just watching Wolfe and all other VGCfags scrapping by 20/30k which is what they used to get already before this game came out anyway.Game's certainly not dead and will never be so but it's clear the honeymoon and novelty phase is slowly coming to end and it's stabilizing into what'll likely be it's real numbers from now on.
>>59215744>dailies forcing players to use shitty strategies they may not want to usewtf is wrong with you? That’s so obviously a terrible idea
>>59216039>real numbersWe still don't have the mobile release yet
>>59215978I do not need to gamble for Pokémon and pay real money to adjust IVs, EVs, natures and moves in Showdown.
>>59215978>unpolishednot for long
