you have FIVE (5) seconds to formulate a counterargument

you can't btw

I only regret buying BDSP among the Switch Pokémon games, the best thing I can say about it is that it allowed me to unlock a couple extra Pokémon in PLA.

Ain't bought a pokemon since Ruby, guy. Whatcha gonna do about it?

>>712518718 (OP)
I bought Violet. Get dabbed on, bitch

>>712518718 (OP)
I won't and didn't
Five seconds.

>>712518718 (OP)
Didnt buy it
Wont buy it
If the next game is low effort slop, wont buy that either

Haven't bought one since gen 4.

Will I?

>>712518718 (OP)
I haven't since Diamond.

>>712518718 (OP)
Never bought one.

>>712518718 (OP)
I didn’t and I probably won’t ever.
Legends Z/A however I will be buying on sale when the Switch 2 drops in price $100-200$

>>712518718 (OP)
I haven't boughtered one since USUM and that one for cheap off eBay. ORAS was the last one I got on release.

>>712518718 (OP)
I don't buy slop these days since I'm not a child anymore and have transcended hype and FOMO. I was into pokemon when I played Yellow and Crystal. Skipped a bunch up until Diamond, which was rather downhill from the GBC era. Then got X to give the series another shot but it was the final nail in the coffin.
As an aging millennial I'm too old for pokemon anyway.

I don't enjoy Pokemon anymore beyond the coom content.

>>712518718 (OP)
SV were good games as much as /v/ pretends otherwise
>GF GF!! we want less handholding
>GF GF!! we want a less linear game
>GF GF!! we want to catch pokemon in the wold without so many random encounters
>get EXACTLY what you want
>still complain
you will never be not contrarian

>>712520382
I want pokemon and characters that don't look like garbage. The champion looks like an alien in a wig, the rapper grandma looks like a nexusmods inclusivity character, and that not even getting in to the majority of new pokemon

>>712520547
basically, you are a coomer and don't really care about pokemon

>>712518718 (OP)
I didn't.
I won't.
Suck my dick.

>>712518718 (OP)
no I won't lmao

>>712520759
Explain how "I don't want to see shit looking characters" translated to "I want to jack it to these characters" in your mind.
This dude looks like a route 2 npc even though hes supposed to the main character, for example.

>>712518718 (OP)
I didn't buy it

pokegoyims are cattle

>>712518718 (OP)
I'll pirate it, which works for 95% of cases
if it can't be pirated, I'll purchase, play 2 hours then refund if its not good enough
you can literally buy and refund the same games several times in a row, I've finished many short games for free like this

>>712521171
>pokemon MCs are unorignal and generic
socking realitation

>>712520382
>GF GF!! we want less handholding
It has by far the worst and most handolding start of the franchise, almost a full hour of it.

>GF GF!! we want a less linear game
Still not linear given the extremely strict set level of each objective where if you're underleveled by more than 5~8 levels the fights are Dante Must Die-level purely because of stats without extremely optimised teams and become a cakewalk if you're at the same level.

>GF GF!! we want to catch pokemon in the wold without so many random encounters
You can very often get stuck in a loop of encounters because pokemons are waiting right in your 3D model during the fight so you end up unwillingly chaining fights you didn't want.

So, for none of my requests being fulfilled competently, I get absolutely horrendous game performance and an art style that looks worse than SwSh. No wonder they are suing Palworld given that now Pokemon is indistinguishable from a fucking UE asset swap art style-wise..

>>712521251
He looks unique in his game.
Florian literally dresses like a Youngster from his own game.

>>712521441
>It has by far the worst and most handolding start of the franchise, almost a full hour of it.
not true, I'm not reading anyfurther
>>712521446
I would say the youngster is rather unique instead because of his sombrero

I won't because I don't play games for manbaby faggots.

>>712518718 (OP)
I haven't bought a mainline pokemon since XY
I've gotten the spinoffs except Detective Pikachu though

I didn't buy it when it released as it ran poorly, Im going to pick it up now because of Switch 2. The question is, Scarlet or Violet? (If it really makes a difference)

>>712518718 (OP)
I have literally never played a pokemon game in my entire life

>>712518718 (OP)
Poor.

>>712518718 (OP)
i did buy it
and i played scarlet about 10 minutes ago

>>712518718 (OP)
I have not bought a pokemon game ever, actually. It's always been a childhood gift, pirated, or gameshared on Switch. That said I haven't played them all, only Blue/Red, Crystal, Fire Red, Emerald, HG, I tried Sun but never finished it, and I played Sword and hated it, never finished it, played Scarlet, didn't hate it but thought it was a rather weak game in terms of structure and world design.

>>712521948
Do you prefer
>Legendary bike that has wheels yet doesn't use the wheels and just runs like a retard
>Existing pokemon but now as cavemen
>Professor Cavewoman
Or
>Legendary bike that uses the wheels at least
>Existing pokemon being made into robots, except the execution is a lot more lame and underwhelming than that description may or may not sound
>Professor Chad

>>712521948
>Scarlet or Violet?
Check out the Paradox Pokémon and decide if you like the past or future ones better.

I won't

>>712518718 (OP)
i did not purchase the game

>>712518718 (OP)
I still havent bought it. What makes you think I will do that now?

>>712519010
that's the trick, you already did.

>>712518718 (OP)
I don't even have a switch.

I've fapped to the porn though.

>>712518718 (OP)
I only pirate Jewtendo/Gayfreak games

>>712518821
Pretty much same. I had a lot of fun with all the non-remake PMKN games on Switch.

>>712521993
Fix that

>>712521823
Same but I went one step further and never bought anything Nintendo since XY when the mask fell and they started openly treating their customer base like trailer park wives
>I can do whatever the fuck I want with you, and you'll always come back crawling at my feet
No I won't lol

>>712523270
>thinks gamefreak is gay
>still plays all their games
nice to see 4channelers embracing their sexuality

>>712523612
Well, you're retarded AND gay. How about that?

>>712518718 (OP)
I didn't even realise this was supposed to be a pokemon when clicking the thread, mate.

>>712518718 (OP)
literally didn't

>>712520382
My sole major complaint with the game is that the game allows you to tackle whichever gym you want in any order, but there’s no level scaling. Every gym has fixed-level pokemon, which is very counterintuitive and forced players to go a specific route in the end.

Game Freak should’ve taken a page out of Bethesda’s book and used level-scaling.

>>712518718 (OP)
But I won't.
Never have.

I just finished my 6th playthrough of pokemon violet. Yeah it runs like shit but damn is it a good game

>>712523792
Yeah I agree. That, and the amount of times it pulls you out of the game to talk at you. At least the story arcs are actually pretty good. Clive, mabostiff, grusha, all standouts.

>>712523792
>Game Freak should’ve taken a page out of Bethesda’s book and used level-scaling.
Why waste time and energy on that when the majority of your customers will gobble it up anyway?

>>712518718 (OP)
It looks worse swsh and that game made me realise I’m not young and impressionable enough for these new 3d games.

>>712518718 (OP)
As shit as the single player is, i actually love this gen of pokemon for multiplayer battles. Using miraidon with the new different robot mons is really fun, lots of good teams to make

>>712518718 (OP)
I don't play Pokemon

>>>/vp/

>>712518718 (OP)
I havent played a pokemon game since gold/silver on GBC - it is a franchise for kids. If you are an adult and still play pokemon you should be embarassed.

>>712518718 (OP)
>Didn't by S/V
>Didn't buy LGP
>Didn't buy Legends
>Didn't buy Gen 4 'remakes'
>Didn't buy USUM
>Didn't buy Gen 4/5
Dunno, probably won't unless it's good. I tried my friends copy of Pearl and it was so bad I dropped the series for half a decade, then Gen 6 was decent, Gen 7 was bad, and Gen 8 got my hopes up. A bit but was pretty mid, so I skipped Gen 9 because it was more crappy sub-par open world shit.

>>712523792
>>712523903
>>712524003
if the gyms dont's scale they reward exploration

>played since gen 1
>felt ripped off with USM
>didn’t buy LGPE, SS, BDSP, PLA, and SV
It really bummed me out seeing pokemon get worse. I put thousands of hours across the games.

FYI if you don't want to buy it, s/v run great on yuzu even though the website doesn't say so, I played through the game the first time on it and it was fine

>>712524719
PLA is very good.

I haven't bought a pokemon game since X/Y

>>712518718 (OP)
I didn't buy it. I'd probably get it if I find it for a cheap enough price though. Hopefully gen 10 will be able to WOW me because I really do want the franchise to improve and better itself.

>>712524702
>and that's a good thing

Did they ever patch the backwards long jump you could do with the bikes? Played SV when they first released and that was some soul right there

>>712518718 (OP)
I haven't bought a pokemon game since gen 4 I think

no wait I bought Y as well, but that was a pretty embarrassing game in terms of quality, although I did enjoy playing dress up with the cute player avatar. One thing gamefreak managed to do really well even as the quality of the games tanked was the character design of the humans, for a very long time they kept that up. They might have had consistently the best character designs in videogames for like 2 decades there, even if they couldn't get anything else right. Although even that seems to be gone now as of scarlet and violet.

>>712525084
Agreed. S/M was the only 3D mainline Pokemon games I found enjoyable. X/Y was only enjoyable because I went in 100% blind, Sw/Sh literally put me to sleep, and I put down S/V after 8-10 hours of waiting for the game to get good (it didn't).
I don't hate Pokemon. I want Pokemon games to be good. But I can't enjoy most of these newer entries, and I hate how complacent GameFreak and TPC has gotten with the franchise's video game division. I feel more resentment towards the people who mindlessly buy the slop and keep saying there's nothing wrong. Literal NPCs feeding the machine of mediocrity.

>>712524702
The overleveled monsters in early areas in Xenoblade are a party trick, you're not supposed to be able to fight them nor are you capable to unless it's X and you go really out of your way to do so. The gyms/bases/giant Pokémon in SV are your main objectives.

>>712524702
>comparing ONE optional boss fights to Pokemon SV’s three main quests
retard

>>712525628
>ONE
if you only knew

>>712518718 (OP)
my counter argument: i never bought it
i didnt buy swsh either
your response?

>>712518718 (OP)
i haven´t bought a pokemon game since gen 7

>>712518718 (OP)
Did not buy a Pokemon game since Alpha Sapphira in 2014.

>>712521171
the design of the player character stopped mattering the moment they started adding customization

>>712518718 (OP)
>vote with your wallet
>other people buy several copies or have zero standards
Pokemon fans deserve exactly the treatment they tolerate and worse.

>>712518718 (OP)
Ive bought every pokemon mainline game up to violet. I am finally free and will never buy another one again. Ill buy one when they make one which has all the mons in it on one cartridge (which they never will do).

>>712518718 (OP)
Never played a pokemon game in my life. You are all manchildren and literal NPC's.

>>712518718 (OP)
I've never bought a pokemon game never will

>>712527410
You can barely customize your character in S/V. You're stuck in that generic ass uniform.

THERE'S NOTHING TO FUCKING DO IN THIS GAME

>>712528152
It has good face customization though

The only pokemon games I bought since gen 6 were lets go pikachu and rescue team DX, and only because Gamefreak didn't make them

>>712528592
Game Freak made Let's Go.

I did buy it for Switch 2 and found the DLC so exhausting that I can't be bothered unlocking the epilogue since I have to rebattle every gym leader among other crap.

>>712518718 (OP)
SV was the best Pokemon game since Emerald, keep seething all you want though.

>>712528152
There's more than a dozen uniforms in the game, retard. Why are you even pretending you played it?

They need to invent a post game holo projector to let you change your avatar to an adult. I want to be a grown woman in a biker girl outfit.

>>712528810
OH FUCK ME, YOU ARE RIGHT. I FORGOT THE GAZILLION GENERIC UNISEX SCHOOL UNIFORM VARIANTS!
(Still only school uniforms, shame there's no school swimsuit and bloomers)

>>712529260
Surprising amount of women got mad you can't wear a skirt.

yooooo! I watch radicalsoda tooooooo!

I already got the 4k60fps experience on pc

>>712518718 (OP)
I haven't bought a pokemon game since X.
