>Pokemon fans when their game has a milimeter of depth in their story

This is how I imagine SV fans when they tell me how SUPER DEEP AND MATURE Arven's story is.
>>
>>59273298
This is why /vp/ gets scared of BW too

Thanks for sharing, OP

>>59273342
You're welcome, hope you enjoyed it anon.

>pokemon fans when they finally consoom something that’s not for babies
>>
>>59273298
I think the only real deep pokemon related story is the JP version of Shudo movies
>>
>>59273298
arven faggots need to kill their tranny selves
>>
>>59273298
why are you fighting people online over baby's first jrpg? Just relax, play the games you like, and enjoy fan works

forgive me for being happy that my jrpg has an actual inkling of characters and narrative after over a decade of nothing but baby mode nonsense

>>59273298
I actually agree with you but how many threads are you going to make about it lol

It's a good story for a Pokémon game. Why are you expecting a literary masterpiece for adults in a game for little children? It's all relative. So yes, when a story in a Pokémon game has a millimeter of depth in it, it is remarkable and enjoyable. It's not hard to understand.

I swear these kinda comments come from pseudo-mature 17 year olds who think Pokémon should have stories about violence, sex and drugs. Go play your shitty edgyverse romhacks.
>>
>>59273298
This and that page in the manga with Arbok being split in half lol. Pokemon fans have always wanted to make the series more than what it is. What caused this phenomenon in fandoms?
>>
>>59274100
Doraemon and the new steel troops is a kodomo and it's incredibly deep. Yu-Gi-Oh 5ds is a shonen, the final arc is genuinely a masterpiece for such a target. Target is not an excuse for mediocrity.
>>
>>59274104
>it's incredibly deep
How so?
>Yu-Gi-Oh 5ds is a shonen
Shonen are for teenagers. Pokémon games focus more on pre-teens.
>>
>>59274110
It explores ideological manipulation, sacrifice, and identity in a non trivial way, without a cheesy ending that resets everything back to the status quo. In Pokémon, even the good moments (Arven or N’s room) are buried in slop for the rest of the game
>>
>>59274118
Pokémon does the same things with how broad and generic you're describing it.
>without a cheesy ending that resets everything back to the status quo
Bro, it's fucking Doraemon. It's been the same "Nobita is being such a retard that even a magical cat robot from the future can't fix his fuckups" shit for over 40 years. It's THE status quo series.
>But the mov-
It's Doraemon. It's not gonna change.

>This is how I imagine SV fans when they tell me how SUPER DEEP AND MATURE Arven's story is.
All of Pokémon, really. The IP's finest work is glorified breadcrumbs. Its most epic moments doesn't even come close to matching Yugioh's or other monster collecting IPs for this reason >>59274100

play it and you'll understand why people say that
>>
>>59275008
I know all about it anon, I never said it's bad, just that fans make it seem bigger than it actually is.
I don't need to spend 90 usd on a game that looks and plays like shit just for ONE good part at the end.
>>
>>59275454
so you didn't play it then
>>
>>59275464
Why do you want me to spend money on the game that much? Are you a GF employee?
>>
>>59273319

>Depth
>>
>>59275465
why do you talk shit about a game you haven't played
also you can just emulate it, that's what I did
>>
>>59275499
What difference does it make between playing it and literally watching and reading about the part?
>>
>>59275499
NTA but i played it, he's right, the game is 99% shit until area zero. Not worth anyone's time
>>
>>59275504
>what difference does it make if you play a sport or if you're sitting with your fat ass on the couch watching someone else play it or just read about
anon I hope you're just pretending to be stupid
>>59275506
>until area zero.
well yeah exactly, that's the part that everyone likes, especially within the context of everything before being nothing special

I don't know the story with SV because it was too laggy for me to actually enjoy playing, combined with the awful bugs in that game, but I honestly appreciate when games can get into some less pleasant concepts. It makes the game feel more alive. Like Pokemon Colosseum had it quite well. You saw areas that looked like slums, there were prostitutes in the game, and your character is like a vigilante considering how they blew up a building at the beginning of the game, and can steal Pokemon from other trainers.
>>
>>59275696
>there were prostitutes in the game
Excuse me what now
>>
>>59275574
Great post, what's next? Using the same image for Berserk?
>>
>>59273298
This stupid image has killed discussion on several boards.
>>
>>59273298
That’s literally every tranime
>>
>>59273298
Yeah BW was terrible for this reason. It's so pretentious.
>>
>>59275881
the munna is discussed to this day
>>
>>59275881
No BW was terrible because GF was too scared and uninterested to write a real story. Hence why you see "I... i mean team plasma" shit
>>
>>59275803
It doesn't say that exactly but it is kind of implied. In Pyrite city, there is this NPC who says you are a "hottie" and suggests for the player character to ditch their female sidekick and be her "sweetie". And there is this too in the Mayor's house in Phenac City which gives a vibe like that too. https://youtu.be/Wd1fja6v-2g?t=1672
>>
>>59273298
Can they just make the stories simple again? Sick of cutscenes being shoved in my face that kills replay value.
>>
>>59275962
This, new game sucks because of this, nobody cares fucking stories in pokemon gen1-4 still the best
>>
>>59275962
thankfully they don't listen to retards like this. the only reason to play an RPG is for the story. When we were playing RBY as a kid we weren't thinking about le epic replay value, we wanted to take down team rocket catch mewtwo and beat the elite four.
>>
>>59275962
they can just implement a good cutscene skip
>>
>>59275962
Every time they try it is fucking dogshit and cringe just like Pokemon floprizons lol
>>
>>59275979
>the only reason to play an RPG is for the story.
A good third of Pokemon's audience is now 30-something year-old neckbeards who just want a quick short campaign so they can start working on their teams for VGC. No wonder PLA got so much hate.
>>
>>59275997
>third of Pokemon's audience
>playing comp
lmao know your lane chump. Not even a hundredth gives a fuck about your loser pen.
>>
Mistery dungeon is the only good story in Pokemon , not humanshit, Pokemon can talk
>>
>>59275997
Yeah, and that's exactly the reason pokemon is fucking mediocre as shit. A garbage, rushed storyline is boring for both RPG players and for people who just want to play comp. As always, GF is shit
>>
>>59276012
PMD and Shudo Movies and Ranger 2
>>
>>59276012
The difficulty filters 90% of pokemon fans though.
>>
>>59275997
I kinda find it ironic with that since Pokemon Legends Arceus is my favorite mainline Pokemon game that came out within the last 10 years
>>
No ash =garbage flop
>>
>>59276030
SV sold the most copies of any pokemon game
>>
>>59275574
Kek based
>>
>>59275997
The percentage of the playerbase that's into competitive is MINUSCULE, I'd say less than 5% of the whole pokemon playerbase.
Not everyone is into VGC and even those who try to train competitive pokemon usually do it for themselves rather than aiming at the VGC.

Competitive Pokemon is a fucking joke anyway, everyone follows smogon and in the end everyone has the same pokemon which usually leads to random luck when speeds are the same. I hate how fucking vocal this autistic minority is.
>>
>>59276030
This nigga thinks all Pokémon games are flops lol
>>
>>59273298
You're just jealous.
>>
>>59276705
Of what and why?
>>
>>59273298
Your game has no narrative lol

so now that they have champions the new games will surely be long, expansive and flourishing with content right

Nah. It'll be barren garbage like Arseass.

WOAHA THE EVIL TEAM WAS BULLIED, THAT'S SO DEEP AND RELETABLE TO WHEN I WAS BULLIED FOR BEING GAY IN SCHOOL

When did Cheren think another thing?

He changed his mind because Alder put a bee in his bonnet, like Lance does with Silver

Ah so this is the peak writing zoomers keep telling me about
