/v/ - Video Games

Not really going to protest it, just not going to get it as I think leaving out Pokémon misses the point and kills my interest.

>>16659949

They've done the one thing they never should do in a long-running series and have alienated the fans. On the other hand, they have such a cultural presence they might float on just sales on braindead normalfags who will spend ~3 hours playing tops.

I'm selling my Switch to a friend. Partially because I bought it for pokemon and partially because I built a new gaming PC and can just emulate it. I think Pokemon is just going to be romhacks and QoL edits now.

>>16660000

This is some advanced autism

>apologist bingo

>You'll buy it anyway!

Not wrong though, it's the same every single time a new Pokemon game comes out. Everyone rightfully complains about how shit it looks but then they buy it anyway.

>>16659971

I don't know anyone who still plays Pokemon GO. Everyone is into that Jurassic Park thing.

>>16660052

>Everyone rightfully complains about how shit it looks but then they buy it anyway.

This is different from other times though. Even 4cuck/vp/ and reddit's pokemon boards (which always dickride Gamefreak all the way) are angry now too. Have you actually even bothered to keep track of the drama surrounding this bullshit? This is probably the biggest pokemon spergfest of dissatisfaction I've ever seen within the franchise's community.

Now that we know that not all pokemon will be transferable, I'm just wondering which pokemon got nixed from appearing in SwSh. My money is on pokemon with those "forme differences". Like megas and alolan formes.

They'll include all the base pokemon (all 809 pokes from gen 1 through 7) in the vanilla version, but then offer the missing pokes as dlc.

You know a new gen is shit when even the new pokemon aren't sexy.

>>16660068

I doubt they'll do DLC and I doubt they'll incorporate all 809 pokemon. The only ones we can be certain of appearing in the game are the Genwuns. Everything else will be hit or miss. Megas and alt forms are definitely out. Z-moves are also out.

>>16660065

>it's different now

I hear that every single time. People will still buy it just because it's Pokemon, just wait for the release day.

>>16660104

You might need your eyes checked, faggot.

>>16660104

because you're retarded.

>>16660034

Normalfags don't like pokemon for the game, they like it for the pokemon.

whats happening to pokemon again? are they removing mons for being raycis' or some shit?

>>16660119

No. Charizard will be getting some gigantamax transformation that makes him giant and look more like a realistic european dragon…

>>16660137

so you cant capture male or female mons anymore? they have no gender now?

>>16660145

Check the posts his made

>>16660150

>>16660161

Why are you so retarded? Do you not understand what technical limitations are or the fact that most pokemon are dumb animals that rarely have gender dimorphism? Did you even play Gen 4 you retard?

>>16660160

>Just admit you haven't kept track of any of this shit sagefag.

I haven't, wake me up when it actually doesn't sell.

>>16660160

oh. well now this is more logical than the reply from the tranny screeching retard. thanks anon.

i can see why people are angery. though i also understand that having 800+ possible mons is too much. but yeah this was going to be a problem eventually since they keep adding mons in every gen.

>>16660165

Then quit posting and making baseless assumptions about the magnitude of this shit and see for yourself just how heavily Gamefreak has screwed the pooch.

>>16660167

>though i also understand that having 800+ possible mons is too much

It shouldn't since The Pokemon Company is a multibillion dollar corporation

>>16660126

says the fag who sees trannies everywhere.

>>16660178

You're a stupid nigger.

>>16660170

do you know any other game that has over 800 different playable monster types? i mean if we're talking sprites, yeah, thats not hard. but now that every game is 3D, that implies animation, rigging, rendering, i mean its not like digimon where you could "sneak" 20 or 30 more playable digimon by recoloring existing ones , pokemon makes each pokemon be its own entirely different species.

i dunno, even if 800 isn't a problem, in 2 or 3 gens you will have 1000+, how long until its just too much money and effort to be worth it?

>>16660160

it gets better btw, I believe the OFFICIAL reason why some of the pokemon cannot come to the galar region is "because it's too cold for them". I am not shitting you, but I can't find the article that mentions this right now

even todd looks competent compared to masuda

>>16660190

and you will never have an Iq greater than room temperature

>>16660199

There are no trannies on this board you fucktard. Also you just cherry picked Pachirisu instead of something like Pyroar or Nidoran. WTF is wrong with you?

>>16660236

And you will always be a dumb nigger.

So why is OP butthurt about the game? From what I've seen it looks ok, I've never had any hope in GameFreak. Did they add homosexual stuff or something?

>>16660239

Back to zero you go.

>>16660189

Pokemon Company is super loaded, they just spent $150 million on the Detective Pikachu movie. And SwSh looks like an indie game. Mainline Pokemon games are not GameFreak or Pokemon Company's priority any more. They want movies and mobile games. I was really looking forward to finally being able to chill on the couch and play Pokemon on a screen bigger than 3 inches, but SwSh is looking so bad I'm going to skip it unless they pull some sort of miracle. But they won't, because they want this game out for holiday sales and it's Nintendo's big holiday game. SwSh should be delayed at least 6 months so it's not a flaming pile of shit, but it's not going to happen because muh holiday sales.

>>16660243

You will live your whole life in squalor.

>>16660242

>>16660160

>>16660247

since Galar is cold do you think they'll finally buff Ice to be not the worst type?

>>16660247

People were pissed about a couple characters being cut from Smash 4, so Nintendo went full autism and put every character in the sequel. Did GF not learn anything from what happened with Smash 4?

>>16660245

did the detective pikachu movie actually make them a profit?

god movies are so garbage these days, you can put literal footage of a turd on a plate on the screen for 2 hours and someone will go see it, just because there is too many people on the planet.

The least they could've done was make that fucker available in SM as an event instead of being a Go-exclusive. Melmetal was a sign of worse things to come.

see, exactly what i mean. when the amount of consumers is this large, you can make shit and still profit from it. its all about quantity, not quality.

with that and this >>16660204 in mind, yeah, they could have taken the extra mile and animated all the pokemon. fuck them. they can spend 150 million to make that nigger trash movie but they cant spend like 10 million to animate a few more pokemon?

>>16660277

And I know you're a nigger.

>>16660274

Normalfags are slow to respond to shit and it usually takes one straw to break their back. Pokemon has been going downhill for a few generations but removing pokemon is a pretty big straw. Normalfags will usually eat a few plates of shit before they realize they are eating shit. They are just dumb NPCs, very slow to learn.

Read the thread faggot.

>>16660274

>they can spend 150 million to make that nigger trash movie but they cant spend like 10 million to animate a few more pokemon?

The thing is that it isn't as profitable to spend their money that way, at least is what they think.

"150m spent in the movie means we get 450m out of it. Extra 10m spent on extra animations probably won't net us more than extra 10m"

They didn't count on the off chance of people actually seeing trough the obvious bullshit.

>>16660160

>too hard to add them all in

Yeah, I guess it is hard for a company that sells millions of copies every release. I'm sure they just can't muster up the funds.

Where's all of the apologists who argued day and night that body shapes, arms, and legs all needed to stop being unique so that they would be easier to animate? Have they been made aware that it never mattered to begin with?

>>16660299

And yet you insist on being a fag.

Nigger how the fuck am I supposed to tell that from a still image? Also why does GF insist on shoving more and more stupid minigames into pokemon? First it was pageants, then it was that weird soccer ball super training, and now it's some dumbass macro fetish.

The GCN one looks unironically more impressive.

>>16660316

At least you're honest about it unlike most.

>>16660349

I've heard a lot of good things about Pokemon Liquid Crystal. I was actually thinking of playing it today.

>>16660355

Liquid Crystal is a good one. It alters some of the story a bit, but not that much. It's fairly easy though.

>>16660349

is this for real

My biggest fear is with the death of National Dex is more than animations. It's a complete rewrite of Pokémon's stat system. Which if that's the case then I'm expecting. half of the moves to be cut. Megas and Z-moves have been removed from the game already.

>>16660189

They were suppose to future proof mons in Gen 6. Either GF has to start remodeling and reanimating 3D models which are used in Pokémon Go. OR Gamefreak is trying to make an excuse not to improve the games while claiming to manage assets correctly. Masuda will be fired or forced to retire after this game.

>>16660279

We just need pro SJW shit like Antifa fighting the ebil Nazi team.

>>16660298

The sad thing is that 3D models are easier to polish over time than hand drawn sprites. Even with 2D art again Gamefreakwill fuck up National Dex anyway.

>>16660230

>attribute

That explains the autism

>>16660342

bloat will still be there, it's just that rather than having hundreds of choices, as far as pokemon go, you will have pikachu, charizard, lucario, the new pokemon that do the exact same things and have pretty much the same designs as the old ones, but look slightly differently, a few new gimmick pokemon, and the legendaries. competitive will be even worse, rather than having, say 10 viable OU pokemon, there will only be 2, and the third edition will bring back most, if not all, pokemon as well, and "bloat up" the selection, anyways

they are doing this on purpose, simplifying the games for absolute normalfag cattle, and get them all prepped up to lose their life savings in the upcoming gacha games, this started with the horrible let's go games btw. I will not be surprised if there will be no "main" pokemon games after this

>>16660365

What was the name of that one Diamond and Pearl romhack set in south america with fakemon that was being developed? Also are there any rom hacks that add new evolutions or pre-evolutions?

>>16660375

>>16660376

Is it any good?

>>16660377

no idea

>>16660368

because this is the most profitable entertainment franchise on earth. it's concerning that they are deliberately taking the easy route that will net them lots of money just because they can. like with mario, this franchise can fo on for longer than either of us will be alive, with ever game being a failure, and it could still keep going, but question is, should it? this is a bigger problem with gaming as a whole, something that might have been good once upon the time is casualized until it cannot be recognized anymore, all to add microtransactions, or to shit the game out faster, there is no quality control here. biggest problem here is that normalfags will eat up literally anything, you can't vote with your wallet like that, only abandon a franchise you once loved, at a drop of a hat, some people will clearly not be happy about this

>>16660382

Seconding this. Need a game in west oz, there's tonsa wrird shit out in the desert.

>>16660349

Polished crystal is a vastly improved version of the original. But it's stuck in development hell as the dev can't seem to finish stuff being currently added before deciding to add other stuff. Combine this with the fact that you can't import saves between updates, and you're stuck with a game that is pretty good but you can't play it.

Prism is apparently pretty good too, but it has that custom types thing and you can't opt-out of it like you can with Polished Crystal.

Clover is halfchan meme cancer but it's fun for what it is.

Honestly I think we need less romhacks and more competent fangames.

>>16660391

Wish it could be in the style of XD except a bit more exploration based.

>It's too cold in Galar for some pokemon!

fuck I laughed

>>16659949

That reminds me, there are some people out there (not journos) saying fans are "entitled" because they protest not having the full roster in the upcoming games, some others are even saying "this will make the meta less stale and there will be less mirror matches" and stuff like that.

>>16660283

>they actually make a poke waifu game

>it’s fucking gacha shit

This is the deepest vidya related cut I’ve had in a while.

I still haven't bought a Switch, and now feel fantastic about that choice.

>>16660349

Don't be afraid of fangames too, insurgence is okay, reborn is that really ambitious pokemon game that everyone dreamed of when they were like 12.

On romhacks, shiny gold sigma is in progress, it's a 4 region game (though hoenn ironically isn't done, it's up to mauville), they'll probably patch in dynamax and the galar mons too.

>>16660259

>>16660193

>>16660247

That could maybe have some ground if they were using it to excuse another Colosseum style game set up again, but set in a desolate polar region instead, as to why there's very few wild Pokemon (and of little type variety) to catch, but still trainers to steal snag from because humans live wherever remotely feasible. Make it "Cipher's Alaskan Resurgence" or something. But for a mainline "gotta catch 'em all" game it doesn't in the slightest. Britanistan is not that cold, and the other games prior still manage to have a good variety of typing, even if they have to take liberties to justify it even if the setting of the actual region it's based on wouldn't make sense for it. Like Unova essentially being jew york yet having a big sandy desert in it, or tropical/subtropical Hoenn having a cave with a frozen basement to allow a few ice types.

This is just a lazy ass excuse on their part, and I expect more of the like going forward.

>>16660479

Nice, cool. Looks just as empty as SwSh.

>>16659949

I haven't had hope for pokemon since gen 6 so nah. I'll probably pirate it so i can see all the issues myself though.

>>16660431

>reborn is that really ambitious pokemon game that everyone dreamed of when they were like 12

Its also literally designed like that, the game feels like shit to play-through. I get that good level scaling in pokemon fan content is a worthless dream but it does more than that.

its also decently pozzed

I like the terrain shit though.

Can't really comment on Insurgence on account of never playing it. Looks funny at least.

>>16660301

>muh speed crits are listed as a mistake

They are literally programed in; and so is the boosts negating the stat drops; those are not flaws in gen 1, those are gameplay choices.

A large chunk of those do not support the whole "badly programed thing" and are worthless in that argument as a note.

Same with the frozen/roar/bind/sleep/sub/disable/rage thing, those are not something that should be listed in that.

That feels like a separate fucking list and the speed thing isn't even a flaw by any means.

>>16660506

The secret is that no money is put into pokemon games, since they could get away with it.

Why put money into something if it'll sell anyway.

Temtem is eye-bleeding though, i'd argue its about on par.

>>16660511

To be honest, the Pokemon clones I rather see more of are Dragon Quest Monsters & Robopon. I hope Robopon gets a revival.

What sort of fucking world is it when the mobile game is looking better than the fucking console game?

Masuda him-fucking-self said that Pokemon on consoles "needs to appeal to mobile users" right? What sort of backward logic is that? He needs to go to a fucking nursing home and let whoever was behind Platinum/HG/SS or even Black(2)/White(2) take the lead.

>>16660518

Morimoto should be permanent director.

>>16660534

Pretty sure NEET anons here can make a better looking clone for free.

>>16660518

Masuda was the director for BW. Morimoto and Unno did HGSS and B2W2 respectively.

>>16660527

No you conspiracist fuck. The mobile game is made for cashing in on mobile fags yes, but sword and shield arent shit so that more people play it. They're shit because masuda and his group dont fucking care anymore. His teams motivation has been dying since gen 5 underperformed. Any passion for the series has completely died out, and the suits at the pokemon company only care about the money, which pokemon GO has done a much better job of attaining than the main series ever has. The only hope for a good pokemon game now is for a completely new developer to take over.

>>16660537

>>16660520

Well fuck, at least he was slightly less crazy during BW but now this is ridiculous.

Anyone insane enough to have a twatter account I know some of you faggots do should really push for Morimoto for new president of GF if this boycott gets big enough. I know Nippon land isn't gonna take kindly but it's worth a shot, HG/SS were my favorites.

>>16660565

It happened here a few days after the new trailer (I forgot which one it was). I said the designs in both the trainers and pokemon were awful, and I said that I never had a problem with the new designs even in the 3ds titles because there were at least some that were decent, these new designs stand out like a sore thumb. Then some faggot used the "muh porn, you'll eventually fap to it anyway" shit.

Its not just pokemon, shitty games like Overwatch have this excuse too- doesn't matter what you are describing in the critique (gameplay etc). I don't know why normalfags love this excuse so much.

>>16660539

>gen 5 underperformed.

how? How the fuck did that game underperform?

>conspiracy

Then it's sure is a fucking (((coincidence))) that Sword and Shield has generated incredible rage, and yet pokemon obsessed retards are gobbling up the cock that is the mobile phone. Yes, sword and shield has shitloads wrong with it, but fucking hell if this isn't happening at JUST the right time…

>>16660576

>>16660581

>Where's the pokeporn

On /vp/ or whatever the fuck. There are so many slow boards on this site that would be healthy and alive if people actually used them for their intended purpose, rather than just shoving everything barely on-topic in threads on /v/. Stop shitting up threads when you can easily find what you want just by going somewhere else.

>>16660689

Because it's part of the way shit works. The idea with putting out new games is to get more content and ideally a better product than the last one. Otherwise, everybody ought to just stick with the game they already own and play that. Since Pokémon is and always will be the same basic game, the way they improved it and kept things fresh was with minor tweaks to the balance and new Pokémon to catch. With the new ones being only substitutes and not additions, there's really less incentive to get it purely because it's more like a re-skin of the last one than a larger, more expansive world.

There's also something to be said for putting content out and then taking it away. Once people have something available to them, they become accustomed to that and it's only fair that the company continues to provide (especially in this case since it's a very minor thing to include Pokémon that have already been designed, modeled, etc.).

>>16660614

You're right,leave the job to the 10 people who are interested in doing so instead of asking for it from 50 people who could provide

Dumb cunt

>>16660628

>>16660709

>Waah spoonfeed me harder!

Stay mad.

>>16660689

>(and thus continually growing development time and costs)

They do not usually make new models for these things, they reuse their shit from the last game.

A new game does not need to remake everything.

>>16660706

>The idea with putting out new games is to get more content and ideally a better product than the last one

<better product than the last one

I never argued against this.

<more content

My point is infinitely growing game releases are orthogonal to a business's interests (their bottomline). Correct me if I'm wrong, but to make up for this they're gonna cut stuff and turn it into DLC. The logical conclusion to this line of thinking is ecchi games' DLC practices (i.e. all DLC is 2x the base price).

>putting content out and then taking it away

I'd say that's crux of the issue. Hence why I found it retarded they decided to cut existing pokemon instead of the 2 obvious alternatives (don't make more mons or turn some into DLC).

>>16660710

>every iteration of a game series should have more content and characters than the last, growing indefinitely, all for the same return

This is what your post reads like. Even if they backpedal this gen, eventually something will have to give.

>>16660722

>A new game does not need to remake everything.

I never implied that. Even small changes look daunting.

<add 1 new animation for mons

<have to add animation to 1000+ mons

or

<new move

<have to check what mons among the 1000+ can learn it (easy cop out is only give it to new mons)

or

<new nature

<what mons can get it

etc.

I won't protest it but I also won't buy it

No National dex is legit a big deal

>>16660689

To appease the fanbase which numbers in the millions

When you have a fanbase this autistic you do not fuck with them and GF have done so, expect the game to sell decently still but won't crack 10M in the first year

>>16660786

They reuse data. None of the shit you listed occurs, and its quite blatant for ss.

They do not make special animations, they do not make new natures. They also have a full team for this shit.

"A small change" might be difficult for a small team but pokemon should have a small team considering how much money it makes.

>>16660786

>I never argued against this.

I didn't think you were. But with a game concept as narrow at Pokémon that's what it has to be, and that's why it's the main issue. "Better" in a game based entirely around collection simply means more things to collect. They can't (and probably wouldn't) overhaul the fights in the main franchise, because that's not the kind of game players signed on for either. So the only aspect they can improve upon are superficial things like graphics, technical things like multiplayer and game balance, and the collection mechanic. It's nearly impossible to make one collection game seem better than its predecessor without simply increasing the number of collectibles. They've painted themselves into a corner with the core design philosophy, and I think the only way they can get out of that is to slow the releases down.

Putting out a new generation every few years just burns through the idea faster than it needs to. Not that it's overly difficult to include new Pokémon as well as old ones (which is the reason people are complaining so much, it's easy to do). The franchise will die one day, every franchise will. But the idea would have a lot more longevity if they paced themselves and focused more on making the other gameplay aspects a lot more solid with the already existing roster. Again, that's corporate shit for you; they pump out generations because that makes more money. Pokémon as a concept is not permanently sustainable, but they're handling it poorly even with that being a given.

You know, all this makes me wonder why they didn't just reuse the Stadium/XD/Colosseum/Battle Revolution animations when they were making Gen 6 to begin with – though I do know that Flying Types got fucked with barely-animated stills because of MUH SKY BATTLES, but that raises even further questions about why they didn't given that would mean they have even less work to port over than usual.

>>16660789

>I won't protest it

cuck

>>16660836

I wonder if they're thinking to themselves that they should have made SwSh set in the Orre region and have it be a continuation of XD. At least then there would be a canon reason for not including every pokemon in the game instead of contriving one. Though this autism overload from pokemon fans might be what GF needs to light a fire under their ass to stop phoning it in.

>halfcancer getting mad now

>>16660869

May as well point out a few things;

>there is zero reason to think the crit rate was bugged outside of focus and yet keeps on being pushed as some broken mechanic

Seriously though, the crit thing isn't even a bad thing; its just a mechanic that adds an extra up side to speed. Its not objectively good or bad.

>muh exp loss

I swear this lasted for much longer than gen 1? Like switch training was always horrible outside of really level shitters?

>muh OHKO moves

These were never good, nor are they intended to be.

>>16660877

I'm sure you can back up gen 4 being bad somehow, last i checked it only did good things.

gen 3 did some questionable as fuck things though

>>16660610

Well, I'm not sure if it's par for the course, but I remember when places were marking unsold B2W2 copies down to like $15 each new at one point. Never thought they actually sold badly though, since I'd actually see lots of preowned copies around, even moreso than Diamond and Pearl (due to Platinum being far superior to both), so clearly they found a decent market. In contrast HGSS I see much less often, whether it's because people hold on to their copies or because the print run wasn't as big.

>>16660571

>The pokedex will be future DLC.

Nah. Watch it be amiibo based, wherein you have to scan a figure for each evolution line or unique to access or transfer them.

>>16660884

With gen 3 and 4 I specifically meant the first games of the generation. Gen 4 issues include:

>single postgame battle facility

>>16661130

This is good content.

>>16660189

That's what the 3DS games were for. They have all the animations and rigging for all the pokemon. They just need to scale them up a bit and they're done. It's just them being lazy.

I guarantee you, the moment someone gets the good sense to either force GF to use a new engine rather than the bloated mess they have now, or outright get rid of GF and give Pokemon to another company, they'll start using Unreal Engine 4 and it will be just as bloated and bad. That's how everything's going nowadays. Yoshi's Wooly World looked and ran great on Wii U, then they made Crafted World in UE4 and it looks worse and runs worse on Switch.

That, or they'll just stop making actual Pokemon games and make mobileshit. Either way.

>>16659949

I'll never understand this, like, maybe don't buy the consumer good? It's not like it's a niche series, you have thousands of games, fan made or original, that deliver the same kind of shit if not even better than this one. Why do you want to fight for it? What do you have to gain from this?

As much as I hate devs stripping features out and being lazy cunts, I can finally see why Nu-tendo is so adamant about telling people to just play the original (even though it's retarded since the legitimate way to play it is not readily available for 90% of their playerbase). Just mod your own dream version of pokèmon and be done with it, or even better, support some other series that isn't doing the same shit as Nu-tendo's.

>>16661222

>>16661222

I haven't seen anything about Pokemon Masters before this. I just assumed it was a shitty mobile game like Pokemon Go. And it looks better than SwSh and more like an actual Pokemon game. Too bad those faggots are going to nickle and dime you to death.

>>16661251

Switch is selling very well and Pokemon Company still chooses to focus on mobile. SwSh is already a low priority for GF and Pokemon Company, imagine what will happen if the successor to Switch ends up like the Wii U with only the hardcore Nintendo fanboys buying it and not the hordes of soyboys and faggots that flock to Switch.

Future Pokemon games on Nintendo hardware doesn't look good. And the games are just going to keep getting easier and easier. Lets be honest, hardcore gamers aren't Pokemon's target audience any more. It's obvious from seeing how much better Masters looks than SwSh.

>>16661259

>hardcore gamers

Pokemon was never a hard game though, it's just rock paper scissors except elements.

>>16661264

It's just faceroll.

>>16661267

Yeah, but you could at least go somewhat autistic with training and breeding. Masters will probably be "use rock paper scissors and if you're too dumb you can buy something to help you". I know it's never been entirely challenging as a series, but I would argue the games were meant for "hardcore" gamers in the sense of people buying dedicated gaming hardware to play video games. Now they are focusing on people who own phones and want to play games when they are bored. I guess what I'm trying to say is those easier games on GameBoy, GBA, DS, etc are going to be the "hardcore" ones compared to where Pokemon is heading.

>>16661226

I mean, just don't buy it, find someone else doing the same thing that pokeymen is doing but better and support them instead.

Remember to keep your loved ones away from shitty games.

How does the idea of sending a “FUCK YOU” card to Gamefreak sound? Think back to what some anons did years ago with that thank you letter to Treehouse and Iwata’s get well card, a big mosaic with anon creations except it’s just filled with gripes and (justified) slander. A lot could be accomplished with this, think about it.

Nigger where in the hell did you get the idea that any of us are going to buy this shit at full price on release? You sound like a bigger and bigger than all the niggers in this Nigger board. The main focus is to not buy and to also protest to the stupid Japs. Protest combined with low sales will be the kick in the teeth that game freak deserves.

>>16661350

Explain?

>>16662394

What you dont seem to understand is that a few dozen or hundred people not buying the game wont stop the game from selling gangbusters just from the name brand alone. Gamefreak isnt going to get kicked in the teeth.

>>16661769

Majority of shitmons from all gens but 1 are done for.

Majority of Gen 1 gets in.

Other gens legendary/mythical pokemon are unlikely to be there. (Except Mewtwo and Mew.)

>>16662475

>What you dont seem to understand is that a few dozen or hundred people not buying the game wont stop the game from selling gangbusters just from the name brand alone.

And what makes you think only a few hundred are pissed and won't buy? There's enough faggotry and rage going on that its making past poke spergouts look like tiny specs on the radar. If this game fails, Pokemon won't be the first major franchise in these last 2 years to receive an unexpected blow. Also nothing lasts forever, and its only a matter of time before pokemon falls of its throne like so many other franchises and game series before it. The anime will still be relevant for many years or decades to come, but the games are fucked. And Pokemon GO's relativity died out soon after it came into existence to boot, so even the mobile market will yield GF much profit for the years to come. Also most of the profit goes to TPC rather than directly to GF, who will basically fucked in the long run.

>>16660935

Only DP just had the Battle Tower. The other gen4 games had a Battle Frontier, even if it wasn't the same as Emerald's.

>>16662864

So your definition of a fan is someone who cheats shit? I had no glue about the glitch because I never looked up glitches. I had no need for them.

>>16660816

Hm, maybe if there was a way to have people pay for a game, and then, pay about a game's worth of money for a game's worth of extra content for the game they already own, we could call it "Expansions"

>>16661188

The engine is already shit, UE4 won't shit it further, so long as it's not so starved of content it's insulting I'm good.

Hell I enjoy Pokemon Go, and that's on baby's first engine

>>16663279

Again, consider that the exact same developers using an internal engine VS Unreal 4 caused the difference between a great-looking, great-running Wooly's World and a worse-looking, poorly-running Crafted World, and those developers seem quite competent and had better hardware in their hands. Imagine the incompetent drooling retards at Gamefreak using Unreal when their own shit runs so poorly.

Wait, did people think you would get all the pokemon in this new game given that there is I think 800+ available at the moment? I know that the tagline is "Gotta Catch'em all but you can't expect even the most hardcore dedicated company to be able to make all those animated creatures. This isn't like a fucking card game where they can have up to 2,000+ cards because they don't have to worry about animating the individual images those cards represent. Unless they are aiming for a 4-5 year development cycle, asking for that is an impossible task. They franchise is behind on a lot of things like individual pokemon voices and advancements in its gameplay that not having all the pokemon is a minor complaint by comparison given how much time it would take since this isn't on a handheld where just having a picture with limited animation can be acceptable anymore.

>>16663345

>>16663345

>I know that the tagline is "Gotta Catch'em all

The dropped that tagline over 5 years ago, anon

>>16663345

>muh animations

>pls forget about the models and animations they have from the 3ds games kthnx

get out

>>16663345

Admittedly, they were going to do it at some point. This genre as a whole is unsustainable and the amount of work required to please everyone - over 900 fully modeled, animated Pokemon, each with unique battle animations for every and any move they can learn, as well as overworld following/riding/whatnot. Even if they did all that, it would all need reworking in ten years, with 1100-1200 Pokemon by then, and so on, all to reach an ever-dwindling amount of sales and try to please an audience so divided that no one game could ever please even half of them.

And again, add to all of that the fact that, A, Gamefreak is incompetent, and B, throwaway mobileshit will make hundreds of times more money than SwSh ever could have.

The only case you could ever get all of what I said in one game would be a Pokemon MMO, which is one of those projects hoarded by the Pokemon Company/Nintendo when they fall on irrecoverably hard times, like Square Enix and their Final Fantasy 7 remake.

>>16663442

>it would all need reworking in ten years, with 1100-1200 Pokemon by then

And pray tell, why? Tell me the mystical tale on how graphics will leap up in the next ten years where the current "style" will change, because the current lends itself well to not needing it.

Where does this excuse come from. Also literally none of the bullshit you listed is done, there are no following pokemon, there will be no riding pokemon except a select few ever again.

And every pokemon has about three animations, there are no unique attack animations except for shit like Hoopa.

>buying video games

>>16663545

Nigger, I said they would have had to do it sooner or later. If not for laziness, which is the route they took here, then due to feasibility and the fact that these games will not stay profitable for that much longer.

>>16663581

No seriously, where do you think a graphics leap will come from, its pretty close to a peak in case you haven't noticed.

A total overhaul is unneeded unless a style change occurs, which is unlikely. The models are fine, even then most likely; its much easier to modify them than make one from scratch.

There is zero reason to believe this series was heading towards a graphic shift in the near future.

>the fact that these games will not stay profitable for that much long

They're becoming non-profitable from lack of care, not age. The demographic for these games is ever growing and shifting after all.

>>16663815

Okay OP

>>16663345

Pokemon has needed a hard reboot since it went 3D. It has no idea WTF it's doing any more and it has too much baggage which fans will reee about. being missing. The same way they throw shit fits over contests and battle towers and such.

The autists don't understand how incredibly complex having 800 pokemon is for testing, and yes it does need testing every single game released. You have to test every pokemon solo, every pokemon with 5 other pokemon in the team. Imagine how many combinations that makes. And you have to test everything with it from the hall of fame to fighting every trainer and wild pokemon with each one. It's absolutely insane how much work needs to go into that. But they don't understand this and just go "but muh last game had them all". When they're using new technology which requires they restart everything over again.

Basically Pokemon is a bloated dead horse people won't stop beating and what it really needs is a hard reboot. Like how Disney did with Star wars. Sure the new stuff sucks but it sure solved the problem of having hundreds of contradicting novels and trying to make sense of the timeline and where things fit. So instead they just nuked it, started fresh and had the freedom to do what they wanted make bad movies. Pokemon needs to do the same with Mega evolutions, Z moves, all the old gimmicks like contests and battle towers. Start completely fresh and say "What does the original concept of children capturing bugs and battling them look like with 2020 technology?" then make that game. The only legacy that should be brought forward is Pikachu, because it's too fundamental to the Japanese love of pokemon to drop. Other wise everything should be far game to cut. They would end up with an infinitely better game than the mess we have now.

Part of the reason S/M are such a mess is because they are trying to pander to casuals and hardcore fans and it just isn't working. Casuals don't need 25 ways to lower your opponents defense by 1 stage, hardcore fags will whine if tail whip is cut. It's a lose/lose situation and then we end up with the HM situation where nothing can be improved so they just drop them entirely for universe breaking powers like getting a free charizard you have no affinity to at all flying you around instead of one of your loyal and beloved pets gaining more usefulness.

tl;dr burn everything to the ground and start fresh. I've bought every pokemon game up to S/M and I'm glad they cut the national dex. If nintendo weren't flying flags at homo parades I would of considered buying S/S just to see what they could do with UK based folk lore and a clean sheet to work from. But Nintendo wants to pander to fags they clearly don't need my money so I'm not giving it to them.

>>16663545

If 4k displays take off models designed for the 3DS of 800 x 240 is just nor reasonable to use.

>>16663598

Pokemon has dropped 10 mil sales every generation. Just a straight drop until S/M got a 10mil boost from Go being popular. Pokemon is losing more fans per generation than most game series get their entire life span. Consider Pokemon lost more fans between Gen 3 to 5 than Persona/SMT had it's entire existence. Every generation starting with Gen 2 took the same 10 mil hit. So you can't claim it's laziness and the demographics are growing because they're not. Kids these days don't care about Pokemon, Pokemons biggest success in a decade has been a mobile app about walking around. They keep trying to pander to casuals to get the mobile audience and the mobile audience just doesn't give a fuck. Kids won't be buying nintendo handhelds because they're twice the price of a middle tier cell phone and a cell phone provides all the games they care about.

It's like you have absolutely no clue about Pokemon's success, the direction game freak are going, what it takes to make a game and what kids are into these days. Mario maker is a bigger system seller to kids than Pokemon is and only because all the youtubers they watch can milk Mario maker for new content daily where as Pokemon is static as fuck and offers little entertainment value to their core audience. Hitting A to watch pikachu fart on a jigglypuff just ain't putting in the viewers like finding insanely hard mario levels and faking rage over it. Minecraft is this generations Pokemon.

>>16663797

Honestly in thinking it over I found this to be way more on topic for this thread, which I why I decided to bring it up here, especially since the discussion here is heavily centered around the controversy. I find it interesting how quickly this news was being shared among Nintendo fanboy circles to try to derail the National Dex scandal.

>furfag

>>16663774

My numerous posts deletions? Yeah I kept fucking up my posts.

>>16663857

Honestly this, Pokemon needed a hard reset for a while, but the reactions to LGPE shows that fans won't accept that.

As far as sales dips, this is why I think they don't make third-versions much anymore, as they always did substantially worse in sales. Now there's been an uptick in remakes, sequels like B2/W2 or psuedo-re-imaginings like Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon

Game Freak is looking for a platform outside of Nintendo as well. Everyone has a smart phone. Not everyone has a Switch. I think Town is more of a technology investment since there isn't much marketing for it. Gen 8 is 3DS tech in HD aka Let's Go. And Let's Go sucked to normalfags because of the single verticle joycon and Pokéball Plus fail. I don't think a hard reboot is the answer. I think what Game Freak needs is to actually listen to criticism and look at the Pokémon gameplay loop to see what works and what doesn't. At the moment they are a hugbox who lives on marketing.

I'm certain Gen 9 will be a Pokémon Masters update first before a full game comes out, if it comes out at all for Nintendo. The yearly release schedule needs to stop or at least go back to contracting spin-offs.

>>16663909

You keep on acting like nintendo does any of the shit you say, nearly every pokemon main game can be soloed by your starter, you do not need to test for muh teams and gamefreak are clearly not the types to do it.

You're also ignoring how little mons are in the main games themselves, most mons are just transfer; even if they did your retarded process this would not lighten the load.

>>16663909

>Honestly this, Pokemon needed a hard reset for a while, but the reactions to LGPE shows that fans won't accept that.

Shockingly a shit nostalgia bait stripped of important game-play features will not sell well. Its not the reboot bit, its the part where it was stripped down and designed for retards.

LGPE sold barely below the average for remakes as a note, its not a failure if you consider it as it actually was; a remakealbeit a shit one.

>>16664160

I agree LGPE is shit, but even so I feel that Pokemon really needs to reevaluate everything and start from scratch. But in doing so you would lose so much, as LGPE showed. It's a lose-lose situation for them, as if they keep going at the rate they are now and exceed 1,000 pokemon (excluding alternate forms) they will keep making even more exclusions

>>16664170

LGPE was too much of a sheer cut, nobody liked how FRLG and such cut night/day and those pale in comparison to items/abilities.

Muh gen wun is also not going to sell to the entire audience, a more mixed range would be more logical.

Of course new mons is what actually sells games so a reboot would very much need that as well.

>>16663945

That isn't true at all, that's what fanboys whine saying they're lazy and not listening.

Game freak thinks their rival handheld is smart phones. They want to find a way to make pokemon appeal to fans of smart phone games as that's where all the money is. They're not wrong to target that market and especially not after pokemon go. It's just a very touch market to crack.

>>16664160

Just because the game balance is poor doesn't mean you don't have to test all that shit. You can't ship a game where

Poliwag being hit by drill peck has a missing piece of code that doesn't know what damage animation to play so crashes the game. And the only way to know this is to test every move on every pokemon. You fucking dweebs don't have a clue how much work goes into this shit. Even just implementing just 1 pokemon is going to take days of work. Ignoring all the art side of things you have to plan all this stuff out. Every time you add a pokemon to a breeding pool you need to make sure it's not breaking that pool by getting move combos that create unstoppable situations and that's 1 minor thing on top of 50 others. This isn't your standard JRPG where enemies have 2 attacks and only get met in a set small area. Someone has to decide on every wild pokemons move pool, what move set they get, then test how fun that is to fight and adjust it if it's just going to spam toxic, protect, recover confuse ray.

>>16664170

LGPE was a cut down introduction game for children. It's not a reboot. It's more akin to Ecco jr or The SD splatter house. It's an intro game for pokemon go players to get into when they have no idea about pokemon outside of that. Baby's first pokemon game.

>>16664187

Night/day made pretty much no real difference, same as daily events didn't. Very few people noticed those things and cared about them. I would argue it probably ruined a lot of people's games too. We know how easy it is to change a clock but kids won't do that. So they want to catch a night pokemon but have to go to bed at 7 and do home work from 5-7. They get shafted by the night/day cycle. It's really not needed and if they did reintroduce it then it would be like every other game which uses an hour or so to cycle day/night. It's the standard now and it works reasonably well.

Gen 1 sells enough that they shoe horn them into everything like the mega evolutions. They were made mostly to resell gen 1 stuff to people. The latest gens just don't have the same staying power as the first gen do. Even Gen 2 suffers from this where no one gives a flying fuck about hoot hoot even though it's been in a few games and is really easy to find. Pidgey still over shadows it and it's always pidgey clones.

If they do a reboot it wouldn't be cut down, it would probably be expanded. A lot of people would enjoy dressing up pokemon for contests which opens up the door to pokemon having equipment. Go for a more standard JRPG item wise. We've seen pokemon used for war and there's a market for the dress up shit. So you have charizard in armor and pikachu wearing a sun hat. Both giving stat boosts obviously. A reboot would go either like a Tales game or like BOTW with or without turn based battles.

As I said above the franchise is a mess. Old fans hate the story shit shoved in their faces. New fans want more complex stories and neither are going to be happy. The next game should just go full retard on the dimension hopping stuff. Bring back the platinum legendaries who are freaking out because of the universe warping shit. Have an extended quest like OR did and just go "Universe got fucked, the legenedary pokemon combined their power and caused everything to roll back, some things are the same, some are not." and that's it. Story lines wrapped up. Start fresh and make the game you want to make not listen to whiney cunts on twitter. Which is ultimately all this "controversy" is. Whining cunts who need to grow the fuck up and stop having such investment in a childrens game series. I look at modern remakes of stuff I liked as a kid and see it's awful and not what I want. I don't throw shit fits on social media about it, I accept that stuff isn't for me and enjoy adult media instead. Books, radio dramas, adult movies, all the things I grew into and enjoy on a much deeper level than a game about killing childrens pets for pocket change.

>>16664310

Man face

Reminder that 99% of the millions that buy pokemon games have never transferred a single pokemon.

>>16664266

>Poliwag being hit by drill peck has a missing piece of code that doesn't know what damage animation to play so crashes the game

Are you retarded, pokemon currently has a hefty one hit animation. Even if they did make the system reasonable moves would be grouped, they would not be testing 2000 moves they'd be testing like 20 at most.

> Every time you add a pokemon to a breeding pool you need to make sure it's not breaking that pool

Egg moves are dictated by a list attached to the mon, this is not an issue; which is why gen 2 oddish has charm as an egg move yet no mons to get it from.

>someone has to decide on every wild pokemons move pool, what move set they get, then test how fun that is to fight and adjust it if it's just going to spam toxic, protect, recover confuse ray.

Wild movepools are not designed that way, they just give basic attacks on average and maybe if they feel like it they add a "combo" like rain dance/thunder.

And on that extra note, they do not balance mons like that either; the only PvP they balance for is doubles, which eats stall like that inherently.

>Gen 1 sells enough that they shoe horn them into everything like the mega evolutions

Thats not whats occurring, """filler""" mons are universally not cared for; so they rely on legacy for such choices, pidgey is barely more popular than its remakes in-spite of shoved in a bunch of games.

Gen 1 has a specific range of mons people give a half a shit about like every other gen.

>if they do a reboot

Thats a lot of stuff that doesn't seem particularly likely, just ideafagging.

Neither the less reboot or not one would want a net positive in gameplay features, yet pokemon cuts stuff each game to make each game "unique"; cut following pokemon for seasons and all that.

A reboot would allow some larger changes like equipment though yes.

You're retarded because you don't seem to get it. Even with 1 animation you still need to test every move to make sure it's playing correctly. Welcome to game testing, it fucking sucks. You don't just test 20 moves and assume the other 1980 work fine.

>No one has to design a pokemon's move pool

Again retarded

>They don't balance the single player game

Said the retard. Did you not notice how they will hand you effective pokemon near a gym? You will find a suitable gym counter on the route before it.

Sword/shield is a soft reboot already. The stupid shit storm we see now may lead to a proper reboot or them to go back to the stupid shit they keep doing.

>You're retarded because you don't seem to get it. Even with 1 animation you still need to test every move to make sure it's playing correctly.

You do not test 2000 moves with the same property to test such a thing, you do not test hurt animations this way. You test the moves themselves but not the mons on every move.

Unless you seriously think moves have different "hit" properties.

>No one has to design a pokemon's move pool

I said "balance", they do not need to balance them very hard or with much thought.

>They don't balance the single player game

I said in terms of PvP you retard. Or did you seriously think doubles counterpart is the main game.

The AI will not stall the player like that, unless intentional.

And yes basic "weakness near boss" is done but that requires little work as well.

>>16664464

Sorry you're too retarded to be worth responding to. You know nothing and have a big mouth. Go learn about game testing and how testers have to walk into walls for hours just in case there's 1 pixel alignment problem.

>switch emulation

While it works on some games, it's still pretty far off. I'd suggest seeing if you can hack it and if you can, do so. It's pretty great for piracy and handheld emulation. If not then do as you please I guess.

well technically you could use the funds from the sale to buy a banned switch off ebay that you can hack and shit but it's your choice.

>literally using assets from the 3DS games that are already pre-made, pre-rigged and a majority of the work already done.

They already have all the tools needed. There is no excuse.

I'll parrot a theory from a friend of mine on why they all got cut. It's those dyna max and giga max and whatever the fuck max models along with that cloud thing above them. The theory is that GF are so fucking incompetent that instead of just making the models bigger, the literally copy and pasted the models and made them bigger. Which means the file size is now fucking enormous, and it seems as well, that the cloud thing about the bossmon's heads isn't a model that they plop onto it. Nope, there's a model for each bossmon along with the dynamax and whatever other pokemon. Thus, in a similar move to what I've heard happened in USUM where they had a different Lilly or whatever her name was for each cutscene. They've made the file size so large that they wouldn't be able to get all the pokemon actually on the cart without either going for one of those 32gb cards I believe exist which cost quite a lot. Or just cutting a majority of them, which appears to be their course of action.

>>16664477

Just enlarging the models would look awful if you're making them several times bigger. You need better shape definition and textures for larger objects.

I swear all the fags whining about these games know nothing about games.

>>16664471

Ah yes the winning words of "no ur wrong". You can't back up your retarded Poliwag statement.

>>16664480

Have you looked at the SM models exactly? They're too big to be just for 3DS, texture work would be changed sure but that still removes a lot of work.

Or are you talking about Dynamax, the point is the "three separate models" thing; as in the "large model" of each mon is in the game three times, not that they exist retard.

>a company should commit to doing something unsustainable and take on ever-increasing costs because fans are screeching

This is your brain on autism. I'd understand if mainline Pokemon worked like each gen is just an expansion to the same base game, but they're all separate releases.

>>16663857

>tl;dr burn everything to the ground and start fresh

you can reboot as much as you want. at the end of the day, that doesn't answer the problem of axing pokemon, which contradicts one of the core aspects of the series

>what kids are into these days

their minds have been warped by free-to-play mobileshit. no attention span; it's all instant gratification and pressing buttons to get rewards. they don't bother figuring out how to play, and if you try to explain how to do better they get frustrated. if they get a game over it means the game is too hard and it sucks. it's depressing to look at really.

>>16664160

it retailed at $60. costs were likely way lower due to way less content, so I'd say it probably made them a fuckton of money anyway.

>>16664266

>that last paragraph

kill yourself.

>>16664266

>implying GF give a fuck about balance

Have you seen Smogon OU lately? No company who cared about balance could possibly think of a mon with 152/142 defenses, Haze, Recover, Regenerator, Scald and immunity to Toxic.

I bet there's something I forgot here that makes pex even worse. Fuck this mon.

>>16664471

>testers MUST TEST EVERYTHING EVEN WHEN THEY'VE TESTED EVERY WAY IT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG

Two possibilities here.

1: GF actually implements move hit animations with some check for the mon they hit. (unlikely, that's beyond even GF levels of retarded)

2: You're fucking retarded. (very likely, practically certain)

>>16660349

Prism is the shit.

>5 years

It was only the taglines for the english releases of gens 1 and 2 and was never used in japan. It hasn't been used for almost 20 years.

>>16664553

>strawman

GREAT GOING, CORPORATE SHILL! HOW MUCH ARE YOU PAID PER POST?

>unsustainable

All of the work is already done. All the models and animations are made. You have no argument.

>ever increasing

All of the work is already done. All the models and animations are made. You have no argument.

>because fans

GEE, A COMPANY MAKING SOMETHING PEOPLE WANT TO BUY? THAT’S TOO HARD! MAKE SOMETHING THEY DON’T WANT TO BUY INSTEAD!

>>16664403

Wrong

>>16664471

You seem much more likely to be retarded than the guy you were talking to tbh
