They can't get anything right. They hear complaints and always go too far in the opposite direction.

Shouldn't have announced it (or at least shouldn't have revealed the starters) on Pokemon Day if it was almost 2 years out. Fuck this company.

Good. SV needed 5 years too, it was a huge mistake to churn it out in just 3. It was blatantly unfinished.

>>59223371
Not OP, but pretty sure he intentionally only included the first games of the Generation. Crazy that Gen IX will be the longest in franchise history.
>>
>>59223352
The game is already finished. It’s just sitting on the shelf waiting because the switch 2 was delayed and they want to pair it with switch 2 lite
>>
>>59223342
And no fan uproar. People complained more about the dexcut than this even tho we just got a blank in 2024 as well.

I adore the old games, especialy the DS era titles but the series needs to die already. It has run its course long ago. I hope gen 10 will be the end.
>>
>>59223777
You could always just stop caring it's continuing. I mean shit, I stopped giving a fuck about GTA before Smartphones were even a concept. Yeah, I'm aware it's still apparently a thing and aware a lot of people in the world have bought da ting. But their road and mine diverged qa LONG fucking time ago and I stopped bothering about it.

and it will still be a buggy 20fps mess
>>
>>59223342
It doesn't matter if the game will release end next year because the Switch 2 emulator will take at least a few more months anyways so they may aswell try to put some effort into that shit.
>>
>>59223943
>they may aswell try to put some effort into that shit.
Anon the game is done. They already went through all the budget for the game and delivered the product.
>>
>>59224029
No faggot the game is still 1,5 years from release.
>>
>>59223349
For the same reason B2Y2, ORAS, USUM, Let's Go PeePoo and BDSP are not there.
Those don't debut a new generation.
>>
>>59223507
>>
>>59224043
When the money is dried up it’s done. They aren’t going to put more money into the game just because they got another year or two
>>
>>59223342
if they let us choose whether we wanted a worse game out sooner or a better game out later, I think literally all of us would take the second option

If they were done they would release the game now.
>>
>>59224112
Who’s they? Game freak isn’t the publisher. Nintendo is. They want to bundle it with a new console so they’re waiting for the switch 2 lite to come out which is November next year

We can’t know if the game is good or bad until it comes out. But the fact that it’s taking so long increases the probability that it will be good.

This one needs to cook in the oven for as long as possible. I'd even argue it shouldn't release until holiday 2028. Yes I'm completely serious.
>>
>>59223342
I knew it felt extra long between Gens. someone told me it was a normal amount of time.

Wind and waves must be extra quality because of the extra time

Internal docs prove that these games were supposed to release 2026, as a normal end of year timeline with DLC out next year. They're most certainly content complete. Whether they're gonna use this year or even the majority of 2027 to add new shit is a completely different argument.
>>
I suspect that gf took nintendo's "the quality of these titles needs to improve" somewhat seriously because they've now shown that other developers can make pokemon games, and nintendo and tpci would not be opposed to making gamefreak a backup dev instead of the primary one. I don't expect ww to be good, but I suspect it will probably have decent graphics and far fewer slowdowns. Probably about 100 mons at launch.

We are in a new Pokérenaissance where Pokémon games are good again and all /vp/ can do is bitch, seethe and doompost. You're all crabs in a bucket that want to drag everything down to your level, to your unfortunate lot in life, because you're all jaded Trump voters accustomed to disappointment.

For the few believers still sticking it out there, keep your chins up bros. The future has never looked brighter.
>>
>>59224808
Pokopia is the only good game you mentioned. Everything is slop for faggots and pedophiles
>>
Have you seen the people on Twitter saying GF needs to take their time on WiWa? What do you think?
>>
This is a good thing btw. People want high quality console flagship games with the turnaround time of cheap handheld pixel RPGs. You can't have your cake and eat it too.
>>
>>59223349
because they're GARBAGE, only retards defend their fuck ugly graphics, empty world devoid of life and retarded gameplay additions

Legends games aren't part of any gen anyway. They are their own distinct thing.

If the game was already finished, they wouldn't wait 1,5 years to release it, unless the QA takes 1,5 years in which case it isn't properly finished yet.
The game is still in development.

Everyone begged them to slow down and take their time, now they can lay back and go on vacations and do nothing for 3 years, good going guys
>>
y'all did this with the 25th anniversary, too "Gen 9 HAVE TO COME THIS YEAR ITS PERFECT TIMING" we got BDSP instead and the world kept turning, who cares

My response: Maybe because the 25th anniversary wouldn’t be as big a milestone as the 30th anniversary? Plus, I didn’t expect S/V to come out there.

Their response: You're one person so. the MAJOR consensus back then was that it would be good for SV to release then to match the anniversary. clearly pokemon company doesn't give a shit about the 30th as much as you do otherwise they would've dropped WW

Yes, they're spinoffs. They have a different subtitle and different gameplay. If they're not spinoffs then the word spinoff has no meaning.
>>
>>59223342
Damn, the last real Pokémon game was in 2016...
>>
>>59224477
Have you ever heard of Parkinson's Law?

Also, I realize some of these tiktoks are fabricated but there are employees of companies out there whose work days consist of playing on their phone, napping, coloring, etc.

You'd THINK more time = more polished product. However, the cynic in me says more time = more golf, more vacations, more frivolous use of resources. Same shit product
>>
>>59226135
I mean, Z-A was delayed for a year and came out shit, clearly they didn't do anything in that time and just waited until they could click "publish" in the eshop servers.
>>
>>59226135
>Also, I realize some of these tiktoks are fabricated but there are employees of companies out there whose work days consist of playing on their phone, napping, coloring, etc.

>When the money is dried up it’s done
Nigga its the highest grossing multimedia franchise in the WORLD. By A LOT. They are literally drowning in fucking money, there is no drying up in sight at all. They could take another 5 years if they wanted to, Pokémon fucking prints money through its merch.
>>
>>59226403
That doesn’t mean they are going to spend that though. And they don’t. Look at the leaked budgets for previous games. They only spend like $10-$20 mil per game which is insanely low.
>>
>>59226423
Yeah because they are maximising profits, not because they can't affort funnelling more money into GF. They could easily give them triple the budget, they just don't because it's apparently not needed. Basic economics.
>>
>>59226449
Ok so I don’t know why you were crashing out at me like that
>>
>>59226461
Because the money is not drying up at all, it's an insane statement to make.
>>
>>59226552
nigga you didn't look at the context at all. i wasn't saying pokeman's money is drying up. i'm talking about the budget for the game. big development projects have budgets and processes for how money gets spent. nobody is going to be all like "oh cool we get another year let's go spend $5 million more dollars on more work because of this". you have to go to the capital committee and request the gibs and make a case on why it's necessary, like a clear lead to more revenue.
>>
>>59226653
They'll get as much money as they need is the thing, though. They have the resources, they can just refunnel them if it's necessary.

They should take all their time, even if it takes 1,5 more years or even 3 more years.
It's a minor annoyance for me to wait because I hate waiting but it will be more than worth it if it means the games are actually good and don't suck.
Maybe the Switch era of doom will end because they learned their lesson and we will get cool games like the DS era again.

>>59223342
Can someone explain to me why it isn't in the mainstream media addressed that ZA had extra time and nothing was done with it?

Like, people make it more about people who complained about the cycle but never how the time is used.
>>
>>59228301
Because the Pokemon cycle necessitates blindly supporting the newest product, then defending that product when it falls short.
For example, when ZA was announced, people were like "finally! they're listening to fans and taking longer to develop the game!", then when we actually saw it and it looked like dog ass, instead of turning it on Gamefreak, these same people would say stuff like "who cares that the buildings make no sense, or that the games still don't have VA (or any complaint) that's literally not important, the game is fun and has cute girls!" or whatever flimsy defense they come up with.

People now will happily tell you how buggy and ugly SV or SWSH are, but when those games were new you could criticize them without being called a hater. It's a permanent catch 22, the games having glaring graphical or technical issues doesn't matter, until the next game addresses them, and then it's an amazing fix for the fans, we saw this in real time when they fixed Blastoise' cannons for example.

tl;dr people will say literally anything to justify their position of defending gamefreak and have no issues flipping their previously staunch opinions if it's in defense of the newest product. When you understand that, things make a lot more sense.

It's the exact same as the one posted up here shithead system wouldn't let me post that image again as I already posted it tuesday. Funny how it's always the third worlders calling it a spin off while white men in the developed world accept it as part of the series (because they're generally more liquid and able to access entertainment options such as new video games more regularly).
Oh and by the way, that shot of all the title screens came from the Pokémon Presents series retrospective. They DELIBERATELY went multilingual, due to Pokémon being a multilingual, multi-territory property these days.

I wish I could say you're actually special, but retards have been all over the internet since phones allowed them to sidestep the traditional retard filter costs, another third worlder squealing isn't actually anything new or different. Pity you didn't use that internet in your pocket to actually educate yourself and rise above your third worlder limitations.
