>Sold 12.3 million copies in its first month. >Sold only 0.49 million copies in the next three months.Why they fucking flopped so hard?
>>59252791Because it’s such a piece of shit that even megas (THE gimmick that invented the modern concept of shillmons) weren’t enough to keep normroids hooked
>>59252791We were forgotten...
>>59252803Come on anon, how could you forget such an iconic all star cast. RetardnieLadderLiterally who Old guy Worse IonoLiterally who 2Butt Slave
>>59252811Plus Slave owner nigger and Donut-making Loli diantha..
>>59252803Why do they look so angry?
>>59252791K-Kalosisters..
>>59252791Other Pokemon games feel like shit after playing it.
>>59252865it's a shame they got the game feeling as good as it does to play and then the map is just the same three buildings copied and pasted with the same copied and pasted pokemon bosses for a "story"
Its about what Arceus did in the same time frame
>>59252878Arceus was robbed of a holiday release by BDSP, had its legs cut off by SV, wasn’t marketed, and didn’t have the artificial boost of megas that ZA does
>>59252791It turns out, despite the ceaseless cries for such over the past decade and a half, the fans didn't actually want real-time battles.
>>59252889We don't want our pokemon jumping off roofs and stuck running into a ledge or having to reposition everytime they need to use a special move. JUST FIRE THE FUCKING ICE BEAM FROM WHERE YOU STAND STOP RUNNING OVER TO ME.
>>59252791Grind dlc killed this game
>>59252887Yeah but Arceus released during peak Switch. There's less people on Switch 2+1 right now than there were on Switch 2021-2022
>megashit>kalosWhat's wilder is monkeys like you not understanding WHY it "flopped" despite being fucking TOLD why.
>>59252945>megashitIf it’s so shit why did CHARIZARD get two
>>59252887And became the single highest-selling title in Game Freak history.But people ALSO loved Sinnoh as a region and concept, so not really surprising a Legends title set in the region winds up selling far more than a title set in a lesser-favoured region with gimmickshit.
>>59252948Yeah, did you see what got added alongside it back in the day? THAT'S why.There's also the small issue of one being a paired set of games (thus aimed at retarded monkey children for easy cheap sales), the other aimed at older players and unlike a game from 20 years ago, there's wasn't enough grown humans who gave a fuck for their childhood to then support their adulthood gimmickshit game, ike there were more than enough Sinnohstans to make L: A succeed.
>>59252791Is this worth emulating yet?I tried but I had some crashes and graphical issues.https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Ryujinx_Game_Compatibility_List says that emulation is imperfect still so I don't think it is a configuration issue, epecialyl since I had issues on both Ryujinx and Eden.Should I wait a few years until it becomes more playable on emulators?
>>59252791Because all the excuses and twisted justifications for this have dried up.They got a bit more time than usual and it looks like ass and goes back and forth without any major shake ups.Aggrovating DLC on top of a full-price game that should've been 40 bucks tops.New battle style is barely needed to be used in the main campaign, reverting to the simple command issuing.It's the first new game to flagship 60 frames per second and even then it still occasionally caves in. The ugly ass paint job of repeated windows everywhere makes it more notable.Add the factors in of making cutscenes with lowered background audio and an emphasis on the expression of the characters but with no voice lines being uttered and you get a disconnecting experience.
>>59252949Better a “gimmickshit” region than a furfucker region
>>59252889The fans wanted competently done real time battles, not whatever the fuck passes for it in ZA.
>>59252996Not according to the public. L: A also released in dead air of January and still ended up selling better, so that just points to more normoids than you think ALSO being furfriendly. Sorry your kiddy gimmick wasn't as beloved as zoomies thought, growing up sorted into their wee boxes from the instant they hit the internets
>>59253002The "fans" want pokémon to treat them as it did when they were 7 again. Anyone with half a brain knew and understood RTB wouldn't really work with Pokémon's game mechanics, but that still didn't stop spackers crying harder for it. Can't wait for WW to have voice acting, but the voice actor crew to be all TPCi's pet fucking VA's and not an amazingly well-casted group of the best VA talent around, again like spackers expect Pokémon to pull the trigger for, due to once again the remit and lion's share of the focus being "making a game aimed at 7 year old children".
>>59252803Kek
>>59252996Lucario is the best because he is cool. Anime shonen martial arts dog meets Anubis with spiked fists.Glaceon is very cute, but I prefere Leafeon personally because of the colors, leaf ears and tail and meme value. So I never really used Glaceon outside of Pokérogue.Lopunny is cute too but definitively less so than glaceon. More of an over-average mon than a truly great mon like Lucario and Glaceon.
>>59252791It deserves to flop, what a fucking lackluster game
>>59252996Wild how they went and added a feminine Lucario design in that gimmickshit region too, almost as if they were TRYING to get the furfriends buying it too...
>>59252791>>59253026How is selling 12 million copies a flop?
>>59253049It's a flop for pokemon standards
>>59252791Should've made a dlc that didn't feel like it was made with 5 dollars
>>59252791FUCKING KNEEEEEEEEL
>>59252878This shit is not passing 14 million
>>59253122Palworld is everything Arceus should have been
I hope Mega Evolutions die with this game
pokemon is already dead even pokopia sold like garbage, time to move a palgod poketards
>>59253126Wait how did Pokopia do?
>>59253049Given ythe current /vp/ narrative is L: A was a flop, a game selling even less than that absolutely falls into the "Flop" category. I just can't wait to see plassfag's melty over his delusion more people gave a shit about gimmickshit than of the region and setting being more important being so soundly destroyed.
>>59253126Palcuck was so flopped not even have nu games anymore
>>59253128Over 4 million. Which means it's the 3rd highest selling spin off title in series history, behind pokémon pinball and Jpn Stadium 2/ international Stadium 1. As always, you want your pokémon spin off title to actually sell, let Game Freak do everything but production of the game to make people give a fuck about it.
>Kills ZA and Mega EvolutionHow did it do that?
>>59253166By being one of the worse overpriced dlcs ever made
>>59253157palfarm soon, tcg soon, anime in develpment, all better than pokeslop produce
>>59253173and they will flop
kalos being a megaflop lol the only popular character in kalos was Serena and she is not even there and 1 fucking city the worst city in any main game
Can you even dodge in this game or is it just button mashing and damage trading?I was hoping this was a game where you dodge enemy attacks and find openings to strike. I don't even think there is hitstun.
>>59253166>Boring Grind contents>copypastes luminosity city map with just changing background colors>only 2 new characters>30$>Only good is hoenn legendary pandering services after complete grind contentsThis shit is the first Pokemon game that made me doze off while playing.
digimn strange fake being a better game, switch 2 port soon
>>59253186>the only popular character in kalos was Serena...and hex maniac.
>>59253191you get protect moves and if you run far enough away, your pokemon will teleport next to you.
>>59253213with a worse hag redesign
