>flopped in sales, cultural relevance and viewership What went so horribly wrong? How would you fix it?I'm thinking you fix the ugly nu-mons and have a larger pokedex than Gen 2.
>>59446281Put Charizard and Pikachu in it.That's it.
>>59446281I enjoyed my time with it and a lot of its additions still show up as recently as ZA so no complaints here.
>>59446284Pikachu is right there dawg
>>59446289Meant to put "Put Charizard and Pikachu in a central role in it".
>>59446281>pic unrelatedbut PLZA did indeed flop
By executing every last retard trying to propagate the "failed" meme.I can understand the people who have legit issues with how it plays, less so for how it looks and for not being their personal idea of what pokémon shoulld be, but retards who squeal objective lies are worthless to humanity and need be culled, when Game Freak can earn $900 million apeing the story of DP without actually needing to chain themselves to remaking DP that is in no universe, real or imaginary, a failure. Especially when sales of a basic DP remake earned the same figure money-wise from both their lifespans (essentially doubling or more the disgusting profit they made from that particular launch window).
>flopped in salesits the fourth best selling switch pokemon game
>>59446387its actually THE best selling SINGLE (not paired) pokemon game ever..
ZA flopped harder
>>59446281Worst possible release date. And No PVP (one of the main ways of shilling Pokemon and telling normroids know which Pokemon are important)
It was my favorite Pokemon game on the Switch, but the spin-offs usually don't do that well. And despite how TPC tries to label it, everyone still sees it as a spin-off.
>>59446417True
>>59446468Spin offs don't sell 15m.Fuck, spin offs don't sell worth a fuck unless Game Freak is somehow connected directly to the project (eg, Masters being niche but GO and Pokopia reaching a mass audience for the first time since TPC started producing spin offs). Game Freak sell the games, no Game Freak, no sales. And given it sold the same as every other mid-gen Pokémon game on Switch, it's clear the fans don't see it as a spin off. Despite /vp/ insisting it must be, because it's not in the babby braindead formula and shows pokémon as they've always said to actually be, but never could be presented as due to the limitations the other games foisted on the experience.
>>59446460PvP doesn't help your game, just look at Legends ZA dogshit pvp, that shit is aleady dead kek
>>59446316>>59446361>>59446387Lowest sales for a mainline game. It was a collosal flop for pokemon standards and that's why none of the gimmicks are coming back. Sorry, but just because some proven discord fanboy minority boosted the metacritic score doesn't mean it didn't flop or had no cultural relevance.Wake me up when you see someone wearing an origin dialga/palkia shirt.
>>59446508>Lowest sales for a mainline game.yes, PLZA flopped, we knowmeanwhile PLA >>59446400
>>59446513>Don't count a bulk of the franchise. Only spin offsIt was a flopped beta test man. Show me one (1) kid who still calls about alpha mons. I've literally have never met an intellectually honest sinnohfetus
>>59446508Oh, are we talking about Black 2 and White 2?
>>59446508>Lowest sales for a mainline gameThat's Crystal with just 6.29m sales. It's outsold a LOT of games, some which needed 2 versions to even break 8 figures.
>>59446508Ah yes, it was such a flop that Gamefreak made it a new series out of it..
>>59446281>Start off with a crap region with the worst Pokemon selection in the series.>Make it ugly.>Follow it up with just 1 fucking city.>Overpriced dogshit DLC.I think I hate Legends. It has a lot of potential and it just keeps fucking up.Is Pokemon a cursed franchise? Did they sell their soul to (((the devil)))?
>>59446669Arceus is not a failure but PLZA is.
/biz/fags begone
>>59446710are you gunna try and cite sales numbers at me? I'm just gunna call you a jew and go on with my day if you attempt it.
>>59446732I'll call you a brain dead discord raider instead, go back.
>>59446746>Degenerating into a mindless tantrum.I was right.
>>59446281Well they clearly should've made Pokemon Legends Arceus Diamond and Pokemon Legends Arceus Pearl and nearly doubled their sales.
>>59446748>I am totally not a shitposter>Anyway I was right, so you keep being le mad bruhtrolling is against the rules
>>59446768A shitposter would claim sales numbers indicate quality. That has never been further from the truth. The majority of people in the world are not very smart, so something having a lot of sales is more likely evidence that it appeals to the common denominator - the stupid. But sure, go ahead. Every accusation is a confession with you "people".
>>59446769This franchise wouldn't exist if your so called stupid people (which like you say, every accusation is a confession) didn't buy and play the games, miserable retard. Now fuck off and kill your fucking self, bitch.
PLA and PLZA are both good doebeitson
>>59446763They got the revenue a double-pack earns from one release. Why would they want to split the audience so badly, when the aim was get everyone buying it instead of making sure enough fags and contrarian queers bought L: AP while the rest the audience bought L: AD?
desu, realeasing it so soon after bdsp was kind of retarded, they should have released legends first
>>59447174You do understand it was Nintendo's decision to do that, yes?And given they ended up earning $1.8B from two games released three months apart, it did not affect or hamper its sales any way in the slightest (because mid-Gen releases never see the likes of adoption rates the lead pair does. Hell, for years the non-remake releases didn't sell 50% of the new Gen pair sales figures but since Switch, they're selling actually over 50% of the new Gen games - 28m to 15m).
>>59446805Based Legends enjoyer

>>59447243>>59446294
>copingWouldn't have broken the habit of mid-Gen switch releases dude. If LGPE and BDSP could only top out at 15m sales mid-Gen, L: A wasn't going to break that habit of a lifetime. There's only 15m people interested in everything Game Freak do, normals only care for the new Gen releases.
>>59447566Man this game REALLY made compshitters seethe.
>muh salesBrownskins lmao
>>59447566these posts feel like when you need a certain amount of words for your essay so you pad with some bullshit inbetween
