What are we going to complain about now?

the ugly NPCs

there is no level scaling, which is bad

fixing the main issue with gen 9

right before ZA comes out

champions and gen 10 on the horizon

Too little too late. Gen 9 lifespan is almost over.

that's exactly my complaint, you either play on a decent challenge on your playthrough but miss half of the map or explore everything and end up obscenely overleveled.

Just add more Lolis and you can keep your ugly npcs

Writing
Game design
Still visuals
Character Design
Dexcut
Money grubbing bullshit attached to dexcut

ZA looks like filler garbage but you have a point about the other two

No gen 10? Regardless, at least S/V won and Sh/Sw didn't

these fuckers promised a patch after people complained about the switch 1 performance

The visuals are the least of the game's problems. How does a Pokemon game have no memorable character designs. How'd they fuck that up?
The lack of level scaling hurts too.

better

Better isnt a number

genwunbros.... are we going to lose?

patches the infinite money exploit that makes online playable

You can just go to one of the dozen twitch streams that host botted raids and kill dittos for 5x ability patch per kill. Each patch sells for like 125,000

How does a Pokemon game have no memorable character designs. How'd they fuck that up?

Considering the pic you posted I'm surprised Poppy isn't enough for your pedo ass

And yes I know pedo and lolicon are two different things but the former carries more weight to it

better visuals

really means better resolution, the graphics are still shit, we saw the difference between the switch 1 and switch 2 versions of Z-A in that regard, and they were negligible

the characters designs are either overdesigned rainbow vomit or the most boring designs you have ever seen with no inbetween, I don't know how that's possible

i emulated it and still thought it was the worst pokemon slop i played

Game is $60

DLC is $30

Switch 2 is $450

Good to see that to play this game in a somewhat acceptable manner it needs a $540 investment.

Do you not need to buy the switch 2 enhancement patch?

not for this game

still ugly and buggy
now it crashes in 30 fps instead of 6

SwSh looks and plays a million times better than SV, the framerate is actually stable and the level design has decent object density and draw distance, it's not Zelda/Xenoblade-good by any means, but it just goes to show the horrible decadence of GameFreak, now they didn't even bother to model in the windows in the buildings in AZ even tough at least those horrible blocky-ass buildings in SV have modelled architecture, in SV it's just flat textures even tough the windows have railings and plants so it all looks flat and fugly.

Your faggot ass twitter screenshot

lookin good

SV only problems was the the graphics!!!

Oh my silly summer child...

Hebetroon complains about having standards

Lmao

They had some shame and decided that SV was one of the games that will get a "free" enhancement, of course, "free" with the $450 console.

Still a shit game

COPE. It’s the best selling Pokémon game.

Nothing in Pokemon has surpassed gens 3 and 4, gen 5 and Arceus were valiant efforts but beyond the surprisingly dense amount of content in B2W2 nothing has come close to being the best of Pokemon since 2010 (HGSS), that's 15 years of rot, best selling status of SV or SwSh before those nonwithstanding.

Don't bring that fucking argument here, faggot.
Then you agree that the Fifa games are the best games ever produced because it sold alot? Of course not.
Unless you're a fucking shareholder, sales means nothing.

It’s the best selling Pokémon game.

Why SVfags keep spreading this lie?

kek, I didn't even know about this, SV trannies in suicide watch.

what i've been complaining about for years, shiny locks.

Yes, game systems cost money.

What a shocking discovery.

shit textures but now in HD

champions

This shit is gonna be another 50 million revenue a month like Pocket if they pull it off correctly.

The game came out on the Switch 1 two years ago and so it should have been at least decently playable in it, one shouldn't have to buy an entire new system just to make this one last gen game functional.

Lets be real here, nobody is buying a Switch 2 to play an old pokemon game at slightly better fps. It's just kind of a nice bonus included in your Mario Kart machine.

since when are sells a marker of quality you fucking retarded mongoloid ? Pokémon is dead since gayfreak and nintendo decided to take a massive dump on the franchise's potential for easy bucks

People are not buying a Switch 2 solely for Pokémon Scarlet/Violet.

muh linear hallways and random battles!

can we talk about how ZA looks like a n64 game with a unity asset flip city?

No, but people will need to buy a Switch 2 if they want the game to be functional and that's bad enough, if Xenoblade X can play at a mostly stable fps on the Switch 1 it is inexcusable for pokemon to still play like shit 2 years later, can't they patch the fucking thing?

it's either linear hallways from old hardware limitations or bland shit open world without vision

Yes there surely isn't an inbetween, nope, thinking is too hard right anon ?

The flat windows are a travesty, even SV had fully modelled-in architecture, I understand that they're probably trying to save on performance since their spaghetti of an engine will fall apart otherwise in a city full of fully modelled buildings but jesus christ, at least remove the railings and plants so it doesn't look like total ass, but no, above their ineptitude for coding GameFreak has no aesthetic vision.

SwSh looks and plays a million times better than SV

No!

A crappy linear map has nothing to do with fps, resolution and artistic design, outside of the ugly Wild Area Galar is actually a visually pleasing experience, yes, the story is terrible, but that doesn't change the fact that the game is at the very least functional and won't induce seizures in children from how fucking choppy SV gets after two hours of memory leak.

This is cope, Paldea has no level scaling so you still have to do shit in a mostly linear way, you can't just go to the fairy type faggot first, you have to go beat the fat bug bitch, then the crab and so on, so all the "open world" amounts to is long amounts of downtime between story segments that serve no purpose.
True non-linearity is something like Zelda BotW.

muh ninteᥒd𐐬 64 overworld and pokemon that pop up 4 feet in front of the player!

THANKS FOR BETA TESTING, SWITCH 1 KEKS

I don't use sales as a measurement for game quality, but MAN, that's funny.

Pocket

proof poketards are so cucked they'll start paying not for actual cards, but pictures of cards

Wonder what animals we'll get for the starters? So far we've had...

frogs, turtles, lizards, echidna, crocodile, chicken, penguin, monkey, pig, otter, snake, fox, hedgehog, owl, cat, seal, rabbit, duck,

Will this be available at launch? I don't really have a reason to buy switch 2 other then this for now.

Soul...

Not enough porn

translate it weebs

/thread

They're doing more mammals and birds for grass types now, water types are very often reptiles, if fire truly follows the chinese zodiac (However loosely) they still have horse, ox and goat if you consider Fuecoco to be the snake.

Gen 10 will probably make it obsolete anyway if it comes soon

Suddenly hugging your Pokemon

Top: Upset/flustered

Bottom: Not upset

Right: Doesn't hug you back

Left: Hugs you back

Whoa!!

FMK

Feet Worship?
Marriage?
Kissing?

rank kyu

Moron.

Wanna see Dendra in 4k

You're right but even then the visuals can still bug the game at random places, mainly so in the terastal cave minigame and fuck you out of a cool capture.

The Fire Zodiac is silly and I love it, let's fuckin' GOOOOOOOOAT.

Yep Pokémon Sword & Shield are in the Top 10 best selling Switch games along with Scarlet and Violet, that’s just how powerful Pokémon as a brand is

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Ocarina of Paldea

I want to see her pound the nurse so hard into the mattress people downstairs can see her ass's indent in the ceiling.

The empty citiesregion, lack of sidequests, no good secrets to find, and only one good dungeon at the end of the Game.

dont forget the fugly mons

FPBP

If they give it the ease of competitive teambuilding like Showdown and solo content on par with Stadium then it's going to be a smash hit.

There are more good designs than bad in this image. There are more good designs in this image then in Gen 4.

eww

Gen 5 still has the worst roster of new mons

/thread, I still can't believe Pokefags defend this dogshit game

There's more good designs on the first route of a gen 4 game than all of gen 9

Recently went back to SwSh and good lord, wtf were they smoking when working on SV it's a fucking downgrade

Based

A FAGGOT DUCK

those retarded robots

minecraft man

bug with literal turd ball

stringcheese man

googly eyes worm

worst pseudo

lmfao people like this shit

They wanted to go for a "realistic" artstyle and fucked it up at every possible step.

Gen IV is the game for edgelord faggots

Garchomp

Luxray

Staraptor

Drapion

Lucario

Darkrai

all the fucking cross gen evos(which while needed stats wise ruined lots of designs)

yo dawg i heard you like primitives

Dexit is still a deal breaker for me. still wont play.

lost nothing but cool designs and kino evos

lol go get sodomized by your queer brazilian goose faggot

Better visuals probably just refers to resolution.
It's still going to artistically look like fucking shit with that awful tiled texturing.

Someone post that mountain texture

Edgy spic calling anything edgelord

you will never live in a gigantic slab of concrete grafted onto a mesa of poo

Why even continue bros...

ruined lots of designs

A queen needs a crown, begone.

weavile's too edgy for der tripspic

"Better visuals" = It looks like a PS1 game instead of N64 game

>A FAGGOT DUCK

Gamefreak really got tricked into adding whats "popular" in western culture for gen 9. They won't fall for that shit again now that everyone hates the art direction and the faggot duck starter is selling zero merch.

No interiors except for what's absolutly nessessary. 99% of all shops are menus and they're the same 5 shop menus copy and pasted dozens of times over. Making towns feel lifeless and boring.

Remove the ability to switch off battle animations (A feature since Gen 1) because the game literally needs the move animations to stall for time so it can process everything.

Dogshit draw/load distance. Characters & Pokemon appear/disappear out of thin air. Everything 6 feet away from you runs at 10 fps.

Cutscenes are barely animated. A lot of fade out transitions only exist to save on animating it.

Scarlet/Violet legitimately feel like they never left the alpha phase and they just did the bare minimum needed to make it a look like a finished game.

Shit story compared to what? It's better than anything since BW1 at the very least.

and the faggot duck starter is selling zero merch

Honestly, I chalk that up to at least one starter post Gen 2 just not being that big merch wise, compared to the others. I don't even hate the duck, but I get why.

This only happens in the timeline where the gorilla lived.

1 of the 3 starters is always going to be the least popular. But the duck is the least popular starter of all time by a large margin. People where really hyped on Quaxly too, but once they saw the evolutions? NO GO. Most the world does NOT put up with fag shit, even if it was unintentional since it's supposed to be designed after a certain type of dancer but came out looking like a gay sailor.

One of the reason TPC needs to be mindful that, at least for the starters, they need to look as gender neutral as possible. Even as a fan of Primarina, I can NOT look at this mon and think "Yeah, it's 87% male".

better movement

i want to watch nemona move her clothes off of her body

still can't believe they went and made a sexbot pokemon

it's okay

liking girls of breeding age make you a tranny

Anon Babble lost

Poppy's pretty ugly

false. your ugly.

tranny

That outdated btw, sv JUST outsold swsh.

fpbp, SV is a 5/10 at best

all i would suggest is to put starter gender rates at 50 so autists dont worry about whether the girl animal vagina theyre yanking their crank to is actually a manimal. or they could just let you continue to suffer idc.

SV superiority is overwhelming I'm afraid, here you can dry your tears on my cock

Where the fuck do you think you are faggot? Edgelord isn't criticism here.

Still haven't sold more than Red and Blue.
So "Best Selling" is still a lie, faggot.
Suck my dick.

It's edgelord as in the people who think coldsteel the hedgehog is unironically cool. Not edgelord as in "haha I'm racist"

Why's he able to talk human tongue?

Is it really just the same 26 million people eating gamefeaks shit every time they release a game?

Still lying about the Best Selling thing.

26 million is not higher than 31 million. Learn 2 math.

It's the best selling game on the switch, you would know what anon was talking about if you weren't a filthy secondary old boomer with arthritis

yes, unironically, understand that the people who still buy GF games are basically oldfags who never let go

Palworld won.

o-on the switch*

I'm curious to see what gen 10 looks like now that they've had the brief scare from Palworld. If Palworld accomplished anything, it showed off some of the things you CAN do in an open world pokemon game that GF has been slacking on.

Anon, this all start with THIS and this . No one mentioned "only on Switch", don't go trying to move goal posts now.

on the switch,

Holy goalpost batman

Secondaries say what?
Secondaries say what?

You: Say pokemon SV is the best selling game

Get told no, that's still red/blue even know

Backpedal

B-BUT ON SWITCH!

JFC Pokefaggots are pathetic

You moved goalposts and got called out. Call us niggers, faggots or whatever else, you're still wrong about sales numbers.

Just accept your loss and move on

Read outdated data

Y-You lost, goal post moved!

See you in gen 10 faggots

You lost bro, you gotta take the L on this.

/thread

is swsh that good lol? i was in my fuck pokemon phase when i played it, gonna redownload it.

fippy bippy

Has anyone else ever tried to pry a family member or friend off of Pokemon with actually good monster collectors like Megaten, Digimon, Monster Rancher etc. only to get the mental equivalent of a toaster being dropped into a bathtub in response?

swsh is dogshit and i liked sv more.
neither are good games though

nintendo fans only play nintendo and fortnite or some other stupid normie game, its so annoying. They're kinda like disney adults in that way.

It's pretty bad, but there are still elements showing that they were at least *trying* to do something interesting
They utterly gave up with scarlet/violet, adding the blandest open world possible, filling it with absolutely nothing, and calling it a day

Did you actually recommend those series or did you go full neckbeard about how Gamefreak is the devil when Pokemon dominates for a reason?

Christ, you sound fucking insufferable.

well im redownloading it anyway! will probably uninstall it but it would be nice to take a look at it for a second

No. I literally just recommended them with a brief synopsis while showing a couple of monsters for example:

*Jack Frost* see there's really cute ones like this but then you have something super cool like *Terminator*

Nope, still hasn't surpassed gen 1, and the most lucrative Pokemon game period is still Pokemon GO.

This didn't happen. Pokemon is shit btw but your story is pathetic

I think it's autism. There's probably nothing you can do about it.

They won't, because it's a stubborn archaic tradition from the olden times to have them be 87.5% male in order to create "artificial rarity" in the trading scene.
Even though every kid found out through a strategy guide, word of mouth or the emerging internet that Ditto can make eggs with 99% of Pokemon, even boys and unlabeled weirdos like Magnemite and Porygon, and the eggs will be what the non-Ditto was.

It did though. It was to my twin brother who's been getting back into gaming and consulting me about it after checking out since like 2007. You can believe whatever you want to believe I guess.

Something selling doesn't make it good, it means standards have dropped severely

Crystal is still peak pokemon and the rest is just utter garbage.

Crystal

The third version that changed so little compared to the novelty of Yellow that it killed Pokemania in conjunction with the anime turning to complete dogshit due to executive meddling?

Try Ni No Kuni or Dragon Quest Monsters

green, blue, yellow, silver and gold were already perfect, Crystal merely melded them all together to the best version

Were the Ogerpons interesting in SV? I had a deck that was built around them and i loved it a lot so i might get SV just for them.

OP BTFO yet again!

You should only think that for certain species anyway, you aren't 50% female.

I did have DQM on the docket because it has the plus of he and I growing up with DB, but he unfortunately found out about Z-A on his own. I have no idea how he managed that. So now I've been forced to stop because he won't shut up about it and always texts me when are they going to show more of it (he can't understand the concept of the directs). He really likes to tell me "It looks like the old games!". He said this about SWSH, SV and Arceus too. "It really feels like the old games, you know!". I can only conclude that he's referring to Stadium because it was 3D and that's it? I don't sperg out at him for this.

Unless the patch adds sex with Nemona I'm not buying it

/thread

bug with literal turd ball

It's a fucking dung beetle, what did you expect?

digimon

Explain to me what's good from that series, because I can't see it.
