Why they did that?
>>59321174they felt like it
>>59321174A complete dissonance with the audience. It was obviously meant as le epic reference for oldfags and not ill-meaning, but the fact that they didn't expect it to be taken as mockery instead speaks volumes.
>>59321178Ghetsis was getting a bit full of himself. Fooling around a bit too much you could say. Fu fu fu.
>>59321178heya yawnfag
>>59321174They realized it would still sell the same amount of copies
>>59321174>Why they did that?
>>59321178>>59321257>NOOOO LEAVE THEM ALONE!!embarrassing deflect attempt by you
>>59321262>low effort esl thread>low effort esl repliesDon't cry
>>59321174because they realized they could be lazy with battle facilities when they cut them in gen 5 and the games sold anyway
>>59321257Perfect response. Game Freak doesn't care about the players. To them we're just a toilet that shits back out money.
>>59321274gen 5 has battle facilities
This is why btw. Masuda is a hack.
>>59321185It wasnt mockey.It was a sign of incompetence.
>>59321433This why those mf should keep making the "third" versions, intended for the hardcore players. Improve the easy spoon fed story and give hardoce post game content for us
>>59321413oras has battle facilities
>>59321174Children are too busy playing phone games and manchildren are more interested in VGC than the actual games.
>>59321453oras has battle facility. singular.
>>59321454>manchildren are more interested in VGC than the actual games.Champions' lukewarm reception says otherwise. VGC players are a vocal but small part of the overall playerbase.
>>59321446Third versions never sold enough to justify the development.
>>59321467what development? Is the same as before with a little oficial romhack over it.
>>59321446Not even, just bring back difficult levels like gen 5 had but allow you to pick from the start of the game instead of requiring a full playthrough to unlock it.
>>59321413gen 5 has battle facility. singular.
>>59321433Always has beenAccording to him, Gen 3 story was for "9 year olds", in gen 4 he said that bullshit about Azure Flute, and made Unova an hallway
>>59321484parroting is an admission of defeat>inb4 "thanks for admitting defeat"
>>59321174they added battle maison so the frontier was unnecessary
>>59321506Thanks for admitting defeat.
>only 10% of ALL people who start a video game finish it>retards ACTUALLY think 706k, 760k and 852k people finishing a pokémon game means Game Freak should waste their time adding post-game events the vast majority of players will never even SEE let alone play to completionMeanwhile, there's confirmed millions of people who've taken part in the 7* tera raids, so it really looks like they deleted post-game events no cunt played to replace them with post-game events millions play.
>>59321484PWT is more fun.
>>59321567hook, line, and sinker
>>59321582Aren't you disproving your own point here? That millions of people do in fact complete the campaign in Pokémon games.
>>59321174To piss off buttsex fagtier fanboys like (You).
>>59321582People don't finish games because they're assThis problem can be solved with online multiplayer since the start, no shit eternal tutorial with lame-ass story nobody cares about and good gameplay.Pokémon Story is the assier of all game industry. We just want to catch pokémon, fuck them and fight with them. That's why a battle facility, with diferent styles are need.
>>59321653Only virgin manchields care about frontrier. Buttsex dudes love the new games.
>>59321607No, because 28m copies of SV got sold compared to 16-ish million, 18-ish million and 15-ish million.10% of 28m is 2.8m, so even just going by law of normalfag fucking averages, more people both finished AND participated in the endgame raidings, than A) bought a rehash and B) played the RNG halls in said rehash. Again, they curated an endgame event people wanted to play, the engagement numbers prove they made an objectively correct call, because they want as many cunts as possible playing endgame events, not just the most hideously autistic shitbags willing to buy the same game with minimal differences (partly why normalfags never played it - normalfags don't buy the same pokémon game with minor tweaks to the lead pair. they've been all over the raid events).
>>59321174Because you'll buy it anyway.
>>59321671Anon, this has been an observed metric since video games became a thing. In the 90's, the completion rate was slightly higher at 15-20% (because again, most consoles were aimed at children through the 80s and early 90's and kids have a LOT more fucking free time than adults do). But since the adults started becoming a demographic in the industry, that number's cratered to all fuck, because adults have responsibilities. they have jobs. They have kids that need lifted, dropped looked after, ran hither and thither and not actually get time to sit and marathon nolife a video game to completion like they did as a college dropout. And the kids are playing mobileshit games with no definitive endpoint, no completion game over "You Win" screens, meaning the average is dropping even further (that article's 16 years old at this stage and because the industry's so fractured, there's little hope it being proved wrong).And if the normalfag darling RDR saw just a 10% completion rate (and it lauded to fuck by all the banging gates in the wind when it launched), it's not because it's ass, but because most people don't have the time or inclination to sit through a 40+ hour video game.
>>59321690You're just stating that more people get to the endgame of a game that sold more copies, which is obvious but doesn't really support any of the other leaps of logic you made. If we had numbers for how many Emerald or Platinum players attempted the Frontier then we could make some worthwhile observations but we don't.
>>59321690Maybe 3M played the SV raids.7M bought Platinum.More normalfags were interested in the Frontier than the raids.
>>59321720Anon, I've seen credits of every pokémon game I played. I did not however bother touching the RNG halls in any game with RNG halls, because it's just not fun. I wasn't alone, for all the wankers here who squeal it was peak, I doubt the vast majority were in the target demographic on emerald's release (if they were even alive) or even played it on legitmate hardware.On the other hand, Game Freak added raids as a mechanic to two new Gen games at this stage and ran raid events for both games across both their lifespans. Along with confirming millions of people participate in these endgame raids, they're demonstrating just how much more valuable to them they are, compared to RNG halls no cunt played, but dickheads in the internet will swear blind because they played it on vgba, Game Freak need to continue wasting Nintendo money making them.
>>59321690Well, one thing with the raids is those are online only (mostly teamwork, solo if you look up a strat) so they're aimed at different people. You won't be able to play them on the go like you can the frontier. So yes obviously more people did the 10 minute content over the daylong ones. It's a pointless conclusion.
>>59321737>10% of 7,000,000 is 700,000>10% of 28,000,000 is 2,800,000Normalfags don't buy the same game with little differences dude. That's why they sold 7 million, instead of the SEVENTEEN million DP sold collectively.
>>59321755I was 10 when Emerald came out and I managed to get several symbols with my ingame team. You're grossly understating the amount of time a kid can spend exploring the facilities, but I assume you're one of those zoomer kids without an attention span that Masuda was talking about.
>>59321761>You won't be able to play them on the go like you can the frontier.I played online turf wars in Splatoon 2 across an international land border off my phone's wi-fi hotspot on the day it released with no dropouts daughter. It doesn't matter what way you try to slice it to attempt to justify it, even when systems were isolated and people could platy it "on the go" they didn't. because few cunts who bought the same game again, but with new tilesets and a slightly different story wanted to then staple their bollocks to a wall with a sledgehammer to knock in the staples.
>>59321257growin on ya doe
>>59321764>Normalfags don't buy the same game with little differences dude.Exactly, which is why you can assume that every buyer of Emerald was a diehard buying it for the frontier, hence why one would use the 7M figure instead of 700K with the logic you have established.
>>59321789Well done. You are ONE person. Go do dogwork, find 10 more people who can prove they're old enough to have been a kid in the demo, got the game and sat in the tizzy section with the rest the mental defectives throwing a tantrum the series adapted to modernisation. Because one man means fuck all, when I'm instantly a counter-argument to that one cunt bowing up.
>>59321800Can't be, shit was aimed at gobshite kids. Hell, they spent a year in the toy advert shilling it at them, because they had to tread water while Game Freak delayed DPNow if you were claiming that about Legends: Arceus, I'd more readily believe it. Non-standard release date, non-standard mechanics, a more serious treatment of the creatures and a story more complex than the usual retard kid plots the other games did (let's expand the land for reasons, yay!).
>>59321719>but because most people don't have the time or inclination to sit through a 40+ hour video game.But they have to watch game of thrones and marvel movies.40hours of something good that you like vs 10h of assThey just need to make less ass-made games.
>>59321817But anon, you said these games don't appeal to normies, thus the logical explanation has to be that the vast majority were all diehards and much more likely to finish the game.
>>59321832>GoT8-10 hours, due to american telly standards>marvel movies2-3 hoursYou're ignoring the point made to make a comparison to shit you lack care for as if it means a fuck. "Better" is subjective, I'm sure as fuck my wants of less types of games produced would automatically contradict YOUR wish for more of those games to be produced. That doesn't mean I don't have games I'll never finish on my steam account because I played it then realised I didn't like it (fucking steam sales), or games I know I'm going to burn through and enjoy the tits out of as soon as I get a new computer to be able to run the things. Video games were niche in my childhood, they're not any more (the size of the money circulating around the industry should have told you that one). And as a result, normal cunts are always going to affect the numbers greater than nolife NEET dossers will.
>>59321836Anon, diehards have never been the majority audience of any pokémon game. This isn't digimon after all, it started big, stayed big and kept shilling at 7 year olds every year regardless when the ex-7 year olds had seen or done for them. And I hate to tell you this, but the world at large kinda avoided the GBA, even Mario and Mario Kart couldn't break Pokémon's GBA dominance. Game Freak were delighted with Gen 3's reception, don't get me wrong. But they were delighted, as its success meant it was still landing with kids (because few adults stuck around for Gen 3). Buty then again, this is why the removed the frontier in the first place.
>>59321869The point I am making is that those games didn't have as wide an appeal as the initial games of a generation and mainly appealed to more dedicated fans, as evidenced by the sales, and thus using the general 10% completion rate for them is silly.
>>59321891Dude I appreciate the effort, but your talking to a redditfag. He's not interested in logic and reason.
>>59321174unironically mobile phones
>>59321891Sales of third versions mean shit. Normal people would not buy the same game twice. Neither wait 2 years to buy the "full experience" with hardcore shenaningas. Thirds versions are basically for late buyers who missed the release, and retards who buy all versions.Imagine if you could go back to february 1996 and say "NAH, I'm gonna wait until september 1998 to play the better version". lol
>>59321484It has the battle subway in both games and the PWT in BW2
>>59321433>no sourcefake
>>59322300>and retards who buy all versions.Exactly my point, those people are more likely to finish the games than the average "gamer"
>>59321456It has the Battle Maison and the Battle Institute
>>59322300>Imagine if you could go back to february 1996 and say "NAHImagine if you weren't an esl that had no idea when the games released.
>>59321174To bait Battle Frontier söyfags.
