When did you stop playing pokemon and why?

I still play romhacks on occasion

>>715236131 (OP)
I was just playing it though?

Another dumb thread about khyle.

Around the time explorers of sky came out.
There were no good pokemon games after that.

What's the sixth one?

>>715236131 (OP)
>When did you stop playing pokemon?
Scarlet & Violet.

>and why?
Because they've always been relatively bad games that I was only really playing for the monster collecting aspect and to play with my brothers as well, but the newer titles have degraded so much in quality, effort and gameplay while Nintendo and TPC themselves have also become drastically more immoral and anti-consumer as well. The few good aspects don't outweigh the horrible parts anymore basically, and I don't want to support garbage developers.

>>715236334
Lapras

>>715236131 (OP)
Haven't played SV, no desire to. Not interested in the new Kalos game either, Gen 9's artstyle just looks so ugly.
Don't know if I'll play a future game, I lose interest in playing pokemon games in general now. PLA was a nice sendoff for me.

>>715236131 (OP)
why cant i find a woman who will look at me like that

Because I'm not spending 175 dollars for a used copy of heartgold

>>715236131 (OP)
Around 13 yo with R/S/E. Skipped everything up to BW2 because a college friend insisted it was great. It was. But then I tried XY when it came out and was disappointed. Never played pokemon ever since.
I might come back for rom hacks tho. Somehow I ignored they existed all these years.

After sun and moon. I still goon to the girls though

>>715236131 (OP)
Khyle does it again
Pure kino

>>715236327
Whtas the edit, i dont see it

Never really stopped, but Scarlet/Violet was so bad that I just finally gave up. I don't mind people shitting on Sword/Shield but at least it feels like a fucking game. Gamefreak just completely gave up after that
I'll just play romhacks or replay the older ones

>>715236131 (OP)
sapphire / ruby remakes (after skipping everything between platinum and them). I only like collecting pokemon and exploring the world, I despise battling and the entire leveling / combat system. After however many decades I was still not allowed to complete a pokedex, not allowed to start a second save / NG+, the game still offered no challenges, etc. No improvement despite all the room and time to do so, I gave up on it

Last time I actually bought one was X, last one I actually played was Sun when it leaked here. The writting was on the wall when gen 6 dropped, and it was clear it was over when they cut BF in ORAS.
At least I got Melony and Katy ourt of later gens but even they couldn't get me to buy the newer games.

Gen 2 to 3 was already a downgrade, removing things like the day-and-night cycle and ONLINE (mobile GB), only bringing something substantial with Emerald. But Gen 4 was the start of the complete downward trend with the SHITO framerates and the designs starting to feel uninspired or like they don't fit, whereas Gen V felt like fakemon. I never finished Gen V.

>>715236131 (OP)
>last one bought
Y version. XY remains the game that needs its third version most and will never get it. i blame gen 5 for it

Moon. got it as a birthday present. was pretty cute but the cutscenes were a bit much

Looks like shit.
Runs like shit.
It's... pretty fun actually.

>>715236131 (OP)
Slop

>>715236131 (OP)
SV. It was the first pokemon game I dropped. I kept giving them chances, but this one was the last straw, it's simply garbage and showed all I needed to know, they are never going to improve and the changes will all be for the worst.
Haven't consumed any pokemon media since and I don't know anything and honestly don't care about the next game, so I think the curse is broken.

>>715236131 (OP)
Sun was the last game i bought, i bought ORAS before that and skipped XY because it was shit just by looking at it. Sun was trash too and ORAS were kinda mediocre so i stopped there, and i was totally right seeing how shit it went the series

>>715236946

Actually you have to blame ORAS or SM. XY were rushed to have SM out for the 20th anniversary

>cute
Hey there, little girl.

>>715237159
naw, i blame the failed soft reboot that made gen 6 underflow back into gen 1 so hard its the only game where you get offered a starter from another gen at the start of the game and its generational gimmick was all gen 1 pokemon except lucario

the lackluster response to Kalos is what made them decide that moreso than trying to get SuMo out

>>715236543

>>715236131 (OP)
>When did you stop playing pokemon and why?

Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire were the last Pokémon games I played and enjoyed.
Despite that I played both X & Y, Sun & Moon, and thought both of them were dog shit and haven't been back since. I'm a big Pokémon fan too, love Pokémon, that whole lore leak? Amazing. Fantastic. Loved participating and consuming Pokémon material again, but the base games are fucking awful and I'm not putting up with it anymore.

Dropped SV, didn't bother with SwSh DLCs or LGBT/DP remake. Last one I actually purchased was XY. Series went downhill since Unova happened. I don't have much interest left since they even managed to fuck up pokegirls this last gen.

Gen 2 is utter dogshit and mogged by 3, 4, and 5 in every way

XY was the last game actually worth playing and it was pretty shit beyond online features, so not even worth replaying anymore.

The Johto games don’t do anything particularly well. The gameplay is horrible, and the maps are boring, the Pokemon distribution is dogshit, the item spread is terrible, the NPC fights are all shit, the level curve goes to shit after the third gym. They’re objectively the weakest games in the series

I was really disappointed by gen 3, since it removed a lot of pokemon, a lot of features, a lot of locations. It removed a lot of stuff. But I stuck with it even though it was a lot worse than what had come before.

But then Gen 4 also did the same thing and by that point I had to accept that they were just phoning it in and putting out a crap product since they could get away with it. So I lost interest.

Way down the line I picked up X and Y but those were seriously embarrassing, some of the worst 3D environments I've ever seen in a game. They made gen 3 and 4 feel effortful. And on top of that they added a bunch of handholding on-rails garbage that I thought took away from the appeal that previous games had.

Gamefreak really are incredibly incompetent. The quality is just so low.

This. The initial burst of SV was the same fun I've always had with a new pokemans, but then quickly came the burnout. Eventually took me months to actually finish and I realized this was gonna be my last Pokémon game. Had a small hope for AZ because I enjoyed Arceus, but TPC/GF proudly flaunting that stuttering ps2 slop was the last straw. They'll never change.

Last one I played was Pearl. Never bought a 3DS so I lost interest in the series after that and never got back into it with the Switch.

Well I stopped for 2 or so years because X and Y are indefensible GoGoat shit. Tried USUM on a whim and really liked it. Tolerated gen 8 and gen 9 but I will say Area Zero was very solid. I honestly think if they get devtime (lol) that generation 10 may be really good but it’s hard to say. For every Hoenn and Unova there is a Kalos and Galar.

I played Ruby and Fire Red on GBA. Always wanted to play Silver/Gold but never got a chance to. I also had Colosseum on GC which was alright but forgettable. When I finally got around to playing Diamond/Pearl on DS, I couldn't even finish it. Haven't played a Pokemon game since.

>>715236131 (OP)
After Gold and Silver.
Pokemania had worn off on me. Most of my friends had stopped playing and I fell off on the show and card collecting since there was no local card shop and I had to drive a good distance (by my mom) to get some.
Weird thing is, I was always saving to buy a new Gameboy and was planning to pick up the latest iteration of Pokemon to supplement my games, but it felt like every time I was ready to make a purchase, word of a new Gameboy model was coming out so I delayed grabbing one.
The Gameboy SP
Then Advance
Then DS
Then 3DS etc.
Then I stopped caring about handhelds basically.

After Black and White because the genie dudes were lame as fuck

They got rid of Dawn

Rape and impregnation

>>715236131 (OP)
Almost with Sword and Shield. Not having all the mons in the dex was the first red flag. Violet and Scarlet finally broke me. It was how badly it was optimised on the Switch and getting like 10fps in some areas, literally unplayable.

>>715236131 (OP)
Sun and Moon. Couldn't stand playing them and never looked back after that. Realized I was chasing the high and pokemania of the first 2 generations. Nowadays I replay gen1 to 3 every summer; maybe a romhack.

Not saying it's a good thing but why would she surprised? Her world has ancient stories of humans doing that, is the artist unaware of that? I thought the whole "leaks" thing became crazy popular on the internet

Platinum. I thought Mystery Dungeon was better and Black & White weren't amazing enough to buy more pokemon games than I already owned.

>>715236131 (OP)
Diamond and Pearl
I fought with my friends at the time because my brother's copy of Diamond went missing after a play session with one of them

Started at 3 years old woth Blue
Got Ruby in Preschool, I remember choosing Torchic and rushing to beat as much as the 2nd gym before my older brother got home. Then my cousin pressed new game that same night and lost all my progress.
Played the series in loving earnest through Gen 7. SWSH dexcut + laziness drove me away. Although the side games like GO and Mystery Dungeon still are amazing. And I love a nuzlocke and watching Kaizo streamers. But Ultra Sun was the first game I didnt buy and I regretted Lets Go Pikachu

>>715249429
Ancient stories. As in they don't do that anymore. The Ancient Aztecs had ritualistic sacrifices to appease the gods but if you went to Brazil and did that today, people might look at you weird

>>715248943
I don't know if this is a hot take but conceptually I was okay with Dexit. The reason I hate Dexit now is because the reason for it turned out to be lies. If it was actually about improving the animations and fidelity of all of the Pokémon that made it, I think the anger would've been far less. But SwSh ended up being a glorified 3DS game.

ScarVi being a bucket of bullshit just sealed the deal that TPC is incompetent. Even when they try to change the formula they still fuck up.

>>715236131 (OP)
I as too poor to have a gameboy or any other nintendo handheld.

>>715236131 (OP)
Played Red/Blue and Gold/Silver as a kid. I tried playing Ruby/Saphire but stopped after a couple of gyms. I guess I grew out of it.

I played Scarlet/Violet when it came out because not only me but my wife also was hyped for the whole open world gimmick. Being able to play a 3D open world Pokemon game on the TV was the “dream” of pretty much every body I know or knew that played Red/Blue.

Had mixed feelings. Performance and graphics issues aside, the game didn’t really feel that open world with all the handholding.

Dexit was major stopping point. Knocked me down from living dex full of competitive shiny's in matching balls to a story only fag who borrows half of them

Played Sword while spending weekend at someone who bought it (they had it digitally so had to play on their Switch so no save bonuses for me). My normie brother bought Let's Go so borrowed from him, BDSP skipped entirely.

SV was skipped for years but bought for Switch 2 because 3d Gamefreak game running okay, Legends Arceus was bought and played due to moslty lacking Gamefreak's usual bullshit, and I have Legends ZA on digital pre-order since Arceus was fun and ZA has Switch 2 optimization.

I started with platinum, it had lots of cool mons at the start of the game, like infernape and luxray. Loved it.
Heart gold had feraligatr, 2 regions worth of content and the pokewalker.
Black had... Fat pig? Moe blob? Pidgeon and dog? Lame elemental apes? But the game was still pretty ok even without cool mons.
Black 2 was made way better, however it was the same exact region as black (which i just finished) so it was actually not memorable and thus meh.

it became repetitve and retarded

Sapphire and Ruby were the last ones I bought. It's the Gen where the series finally went full kike. I will give Gen 4 a try one day though.

i dropped the whole franchise like an hour into sun after hearing the whole game is railroaded like that

>>715236131 (OP)
loved red
loved stadium
loved snap
loved yellow
loved tcg
loved gold
lost interest after gold
tried ruby but just couldn't get into it
tried diamond back when no$gba added ds support during the early days of ds emulation and I think I was more impressed by being able to play ds games on my pc than with the game itself
tried ultra sun when I got a 3ds, thought it was kinda shit
people have said black and white are good, so maybe I'll try those ones out but I tried out the newer games on switch and aside from the mechanic of throwing the pokeball in arceus I didn't like them
I still think very fondly of the early games, the newer games just aren't for me

>>715256149
This is precisely why they need to pivot to Pokémon/human romances in the games. It doesn't have to be super explicit, but being able to date a Pokémon would provide several intriguing avenues for gameplay: battle bonuses for the partner Pokémon, narrative plotlines involving romances and the world therein, actually being able to flesh out Pokémon behavior so they aren't just creature-shaped collectible tools, the list goes on.

>>715236131 (OP)

Pokemon Crystal was the last one I briefly touched, didn't care much for the new mons and it was probably the point where I got tired of jrpg combat in general.

The campaign meant to last 20+ hours, the fact that Pokemon not catchable within the region can still be traded there, the fact that the party of Pokemon you catch are the ones helping you past obstacles in the overworld, the attempt at telling a story with a beginning, a middle, and an end rather than one consisting 80% of flashback so it can be told in any order. You know, the stuff the main series is missing.

>>715262005
Ironically I think BW are the first "first" versions (not third versions, like Crystal, Emerald, Pt, BW2) since FRLG to have Elite 4 rematches in the base game, but they cut a lot of other stuff. Not even a Champion ribbon.

after sword and shield. It' could have been so much more but instead we got the moist watered down rng heavy pokemon game to date. No longer could gamefreak hide behind limitation of handheld devices. Plus the designs of the next mainline game sucked.

>idiot shit retard nurse cloned from a vat thinks she can tell anyone how to live

I stopped playing after X and Y because I can't transfer my living dex to the newer systems without at least half a grand investment plus I'm a few games behind.

>>715237645
>3 and 4
They're dogshit games

>>715236131 (OP)
I was never really a fan and bought Y and Omega Ruby just to try them out. Didn't catch my interest.

Sword & Shield. Everything about this game is bad. The map, the pokemon, the art style, the battles, the locations, the performance.
Didn't even try Scarlet & Violet, one look at the artstyle was enough for me to write it off.
Then I played MH Stories 1 & 2 and the digimon cyberslut game. Ended liking all of them better than any pokemon game from the last 3 gens.

>>715255134
>narrow hips

>>715269238
>It' could have been so much more

I think the biggest problem is how they lied. No one ever expected anything of Pokemon. They could put a turd into every box and still break the top 5 in all time sales. But if you're going to lie, maybe don't call attention to it by promising "improved animations." Underpowered though it may be, there are games on the Switch that look and play much, MUCH better than any Switch era Pokemon game. And it looks even worse when you realize that Pokémon is the most profitable ip on Planet Earth

>>715269462
says a lot when they're stilll better than any shitty johto game in every way

>>715269674
I love how during the pre release phase they hyped up the Wild Area as this innovative thing. When in reality it's just a place where you can control the camera. With the power of the Switch, GameFreak learned the capabilities of the right analog stick

>>715236131 (OP)
>When did you stop playing pokemon and why?

I'd rather play Digimon personally, but Pokemon is quite a titan and that's alright.

>>715260813
>>715261170
Crystal was the last Pokemon game I really played.

>>715261170
Besides the fact that G/S have better intros, yes. It'd be nice to have another way to get exclusives, though.

I dislike playing anything after gen2 because they all have boring gimmicks and wastes of time instead of good catching and battling, plus they all feel very slow (as a game, not progression-wise). Gen2 has plenty of issues too but at least it still mostly plays the same. So I really only replay the original gen1 on emulator with turbo speed.
I want to catch cool pokemons, win battles with said cool pokemons and have them evolve into even cooler pokemons.
I hate when the game interrupts you for a mandatory introduction to some side-content I don't give a fuck about like the various contests or multiplayer features.
I don't wanna grind a minigame to first place just to get an evolution item.
I don't wanna grind stats because some pokemon only evolve with maxed out speed.
I don't wanna wait until postgame to actually have access to half the dex, be it for cacthing or evolving.
I don't want to wait real life hours for some daily event.

>>715236131 (OP)
2005 because that’s when I lost most of my Game Boy and games to a charter bus fire, during a high school marching band trip to Disney World. I couldn’t be bothered to find replacements for Pokemon Yellow and Silver, and Gen III looked like ass, so I just stopped playing Pokémon.

I lost interest in the franchise at gen 4. I have touched on Moon, but didn't finish it and probably won't. I have been feeling nostalgic for Pokemon as of late for some reason so I might pick up the next mainline one when it comes around.

>>715236131 (OP)
I haven't played since Silver.

Honestly, recommend me the "good" pokemon games to play or whatever the newer ones that are halfway decent and I'll get to it after BG3. Bought Terraria back in 2011 (or whatever) and realized I should probably play that too...lot in my vidya plate.

Those ancient setting pokemon game webms with the really big pokemon looked interesting, fuck if I know what it's name is though.

>>715236131 (OP)
Sword and shield. After seeing that nothing was improving and all the excuses people made for them on their behalf. I might have even forgiven them for everything until the dex cut. Then there was also pokemon Home having to send my pokemon into storage not know if they get to come out this game or the next.

Sun/Moon LITERALLY induced me to sleep, I fell asleep while playing it, first and only time it has ever happened to me in any game I ever played.

The game was so fucking easy and boring and the handholding was so forced and extended, I literally closed my eyes and went to sleep with the console on and the game running.

They removed a good chunk of my favorite pokemon in that game too since it lacks the full dex, I beat it and decided that I will NEVER play another mainline pokemon game, and so I did I never touched Sun/moon 2, sword and whatever the new ones are called purple and scarlet I think, didn't play legends Arceus either and definitely won't play the new legends game either, I felt so betrayed by sun/moon that all my love turned into hatred and after playing other monster catching games I opened my eyes, never to return to pokemon.

I still like pokemon but only the old games and rom hacks, also Lana because she is hot even if her game sucks and made me drop pokemon.

>>715273652
>>715259576
They'd never do it, Bandai still hasn't allowed it with Digimon despite the fact they speak perfect human language and most of them are just cosplayers. So pokemon who can only say their own names are out of the question

>>715279726
Ultra sun/moon were unforgivable. Literally the exact same game with very minute differences.
Sword and shield were really shit too.
Arceus was a tech demo or proof of concept at best being sold at full price.

Pokemon is dead

>>715280214
Digimon wanting to fuck humans is a theme in cyber slut.

I started with RBY and played Gold/Silver but skipped Crystal because my older siblings didn't have it and I was basically playing hand me downs

Same with Ruby/Sapphire but then I got Emerald for myself which was my first very own Pokemon game(and still my favorite to this day). I also got Leaf Green a bit after.

Same with Pearl version and then I got into piracy with a flashcard and played Platinum, HGSS, BW, and BW2 right when they came out.

I genuinely bought XY and ORAS on launch day because I was still big into Pokemon and didn't have a 3DS that was hackable at the time. Eventually I did though and I pirated Sun/Moon the day they leaked and played through most of it in one night. That was where I took a bit of an extended break from Pokemon though.

I skipped USUM cause something about the way they handled the "third version" bugged me. And since I didn't have a Switch at the time I skipped those games too until just a few years ago since I got a PC that can emulate the Switch easy.

I went back and pirated USUM and it was ok. Pirated SwSh and it was mediocre. Pirated BDSP on launch and they were dog shit. SV was surprisingly good. I started but never finished PLA and have never bothered with LGPE.

Nowadays it's more enjoyable to goon to Pokegirls but I have been replaying the series. I finished up Platinum and am moving onto the Unova games

>>715280214
>They'd never do it, Bandai still hasn't allowed it with Digimon
digimon as characters? it's weaved into the dna of digimon. all the partner digimon are characters of their own right. the games play with the concept to varying degrees too (digimon world 2 has a partner digimon that turns into a generic unit after the tutorial, digimon world 3 gives you a party of partners who turn into mimes, digimon world ds has a questline where you tag along with a pagumon, etc.). and let's not forget the partner agumon in survive, or aegiomon in time stranger
all the dqm: joker games also had a monster character in the incarnus
>pokemon who can only say their own names are out of the question
nevermind all the psychic pokemon that spoke in the movies, or the lucario from the mew movie. hell, you have the early episodes focused on the pokemon cooperating with each other when they become separated from the MCs

I just jack it to Pokemon girls. Idk how but Gamefreak has made constant home runs up until SV and even in SV there are some winners.

>>715281514
But thats the thing: those side gacha games make more than even the mainline games at this point. Pokemon hasn't been about the actual games since the 90s.

That's probably why Nintendo is fine with them releasing literal shit nobody likes anymore. People will buy Charizard plushes anyway

I still don't get why nintendo doesn't tardwrangle gamefreak into making a good game.
Like, i legitimately cannot get my head around why they're running the name of the ip through mud and shit instead of at least trying to preserve their golden egg maker

>>715281761
It goes to show how peak Pokegirls are: In a series with top-tier monstergirls, they're still the stand-outs.

>>715282181
Genuinely I think it's because Nintendo doesn't care as long as TPC still makes money, and TPC doesn't care because they have made an empire of selling the lowest-denominator slop to children.

It's a very Japanese corporate situation. It reflects badly on Nintendo to have such slop as tentpoles but Nintendo doesn't care enough to rock the boat because it's still a good thing for them.

Palworld is killing pokeslop, and you know it, shartendo knows it and pocketpair knows it.

Otherwise, pokedrones won't be seething as much as they are right now.

>>715282181
probably because the games still sell like hotcakes and it's hard to tell whether the criticism is real or just internet nonsense, ignoring some kind of quasi-objective independent review on their part. It's a case of doesn't seem broken so don't fix it

>>715283125
Palworld and Pokemon are not the same type of game, though. Palworld isn't even pretending to be a pokemon game instead of a full-on ark clone, it's really just taking the aesthetics of it and stuffing it into Craftopia.

Pokemon fans want the slow, easy-going pace of Pokemon games where time seems to stop when the player stops advancing, nothing really has any stakes, and the biggest inconvenience is having to go back to the last Pokemon center.

If they made a Pokemon game that combined elements of Animal Crossing into it, visiting a town, doing chores, setting up camps, owning a home, that game would sell trillions. It's what I think they want to do with Legends Z-X but nothing has really indicated that they have a clear vision or goal on how to accomplish that. Instead, opting for lots of set-pieces which may connect into the whole.

>>715236131 (OP)
I didn't, I'm currently playing Legends Arceus and it's fun

>>715283328
To be fair to Nintendo, they did admit that SV at launch was substandard. So they're not above accepting legit fault when it happens.

Most of the criticism of Pokemon boils down to "It wasn't as good as it used to be" or "The experience has degraded" and that's not really a criticism of a game but criticism of the franchise, and neither Nintendo nor Game Freak really control the direction of the franchise individually.

>>715236131 (OP)

>>715282062
>>715284132

/vp/ was always going to be shit because it was made to contain the worst part of the pokefucker fanbase. The kind that get banned anywhere else.

Other communities are made of literal 12 year olds. Not really fair to judge the game on those communities.

>>715284384
Most communities are just made up of kids parroting their favorite influencers or manchildren who’ll defend Pokémon no matter what, so it’s hard to have a genuine conversation yeah

>>715284384
Same thing goes for /v/, too. Why are tendies the most insufferable fanbase on /v/? Because most of the people here are either underage b&s who seek this place out for porn, or insufferable weirdoes who get banned from /r/nintendo for their creepyness toward a children's toy.

the newer games being worse designed than the old games is a legit criticism as is the series as a whole being extremely underwhelming compared to the tech and capabilities of modern games. They don't even really bother with dungeons anymore and have basically streamlined much of the game out of the game. That would be tolerable I guess but the games also look and run like shit. Then there's stuff like how archaic and slow the presentation of information is. Lazy and unambitious are the perfect words to describe the it

None of this matters though as long as people keep eating it up

>>715236131 (OP)
I haven't played Pokemon game since Stadium on the N64.

Turned-based gameplay wasn't my thing as a kid, and now that I've become accommodated to turn-based gameplay, I can't stand the general half-assed cheap shit Pokemon games have devolved into.
Have bought and played a ton of clones though - Monster Hunter Stories, Cassette Beasts, Palworld, SMT, etc - will probably play that upcoming gacha that just had its recent beta test one as well.

>>715285349
>Then there's stuff like how archaic and slow the presentation of information is
This was my exact gripe with the latest Mario Party. I played it at a friend's house and would have loved it if not for the fact that every animation was slow as molasses and unskippable. A simple 10 round game took hours and my brain was completely numb by the end of it.

>>715283805
palworld is just ark/rimworld with pokemon's monster style
pokemon is a casualized dragon quest/smt rip-off with insane charming and appealing monsters
>Pokemon fans want the slow, easy-going pace of Pokemon games
the gameplay is boring to tears. all that matters is the world-building and interactions. stuff like teams, gyms, characters, etc.
>It's what I think they want to do with Legends Z-X
they're basically ripping off the digimon world series' combat formula. I'm curious how it will turn out

>>715285349
Nobody ever brings up the fact they're using the exact same sfx files from Diamond and Pearl in the newer games. It's especially obvious with the super effective hit.

I've been emulating my way through them in order of release and am now taking a break since Sword felt so underwhelming.
It definitely feels like the series is lacking the magic it had in the 2D era.

I played NB and this is the first time a video game left a bad memory about it.

Their quality dropped.
They let westerners influence their character designs and made them worse.
If either of these reversed course, I'd play more new ones again.

>>715287937
Right?
Everybody memes Vaporeon, and Vaporeon is fine. I like Vaporeon, but Lapras is the real deal.

>>715236131 (OP)
I bought a 2DS XL when it released and it came with Pokémon Ultra Moon, the main game was so boring that I don't even remember most of it; after that I never played a Pokémon game again

>>715288396
A new pokemon, don't know how it is called, but is ugly as fuck.

>>715288824
imagine if they retained that Ken Sugimori style even into the 3d era, how cool that would have been.

>>715236131 (OP)
Last game was Sun/Moon. The quality has only gone down, and it was already on a nasty decline by that point. Not even a restoration of the national dex would be enough to bring me back into the fold. Instead I've played a couple full-conversion hacks like Clover, vastly better experiences than whatever GF is pumping out to meet quota.

>>715236807

i play them time to time, but take long pauses

ultra sun would be such a good game if i wasnt forced to see a cutscene every nanosec

>>715283805
I absolutely think Palworld elements should be incorporated into pokemon itself.
Not the "survival crafting" aspect necessarily.
But the way you interact with pokemon. Seeing them in the world (which they are doing now), the way you catch them and freely call them out.
I don't think it should necessarily go the direction of animal crossing exactly, but I do think the "comfyness" of pokemon's world is a major appeal and something they do need to actually tap into more. But its something thats better captured in artwork more than the games themselves. Both official and fanmade art.
Legends ZA seems like it'll be enjoyable, but still won't quite capture that aspect of pokemon that I feel most of the games have been missing.
>>715288929
Theres a fan concept of that, which I'm sure most have seen by now. I'm not usually one to say "Nintendo hire this man!" but it was a pretty neat looking stylized concept.
I'd buy it at least.
These days, Pokemon is a series I enjoy outside of the mainline games more than within them sadly. I do hope that changes though.

>>715285349
It is a legit criticism of the series as a whole, but not of any individual game. To TPC, Nintendo, and Game Freak, they only care about individual game-to-game performance. That's why they were shitting out bi-yearly releases for so long.

What is one of your favorite pokemon or pokegirls from after you quit?

Pokemon is so cringe, when someone ask something like this is just cringe especially if you are an adult

When it stopped being good like gen 2-3, but the truth it was never good to begin with, it became repetitive and stale, barely any change, visuals were always mediocre

>>715290629
i love her, but hate her gen

genuinely would just cut gens 3-9 and keep iono as additional boss

>>715291152
You never played gen 3? I mean, if you didn't great choice, but really?

>>715291000
from gen 3 the suffering from walking in caves and surfing made the ending more rewarding

>>715285349
So one thing I will say is ironically SV being a broken buggy mess made it easily the pokemon gen I've had the most fun with since 4.

Sequence breaking and seeing hilarious things like pic related at the top of pokemon league was hilarious, hell getting into pokemon league with 1 badge was hilarious (they kick you out after initial interview)

>>715291000
Pokemon is carried entirely by it's setting and characters. So much wasted potential by leaving the ip in the hands of suck terrible developers and animators.

>>715291051
Iono is good. One of the few good things from S&V

>>715291706
After seeing the trailer for their new game that isn't pokemon, I almost wonder if its just them being buck broken by nintendo to shovel something out every year instead of actual lack of skill

>>715291706
and writers are seriously hamstrung and held back by draconian policies like pic related

>>715262526
He's right you know.
Vast majority of pokefags have no idea what they want from the games, nor can they properly explain what it was about previous entries that they liked.

>>715283125
Palchads just jeep winning

>>715291706
>characters
Nobody gives a shit Pokemon characters they are so bland and boring

>>715291828
Probably, though I think it's pokemon HQ rather than nintendo that's pushing it so hard. They want all the merch and anime and other shit to fire off at once right after the games, and I don't think that's the right way to handle a multimedia franchise. They need to slow down, and start with the anime to give the devs more time.

>>715291908
1 is just legal compliance. It sucks, but I don't expect pokemon to start legal battles over stuff that doesn't belong in their setting anyways.
2 depends on enforcement. References are shit more often than not, but I could see how this could become draconian, especially if they scrutinize innocuous things as references.
3 4 and 5 are all awful. That's the poison killing games. Writers should be free to depict characters how they want to.

>>715262721
>free box legend pokemon
what are you talking about? you can't capture it and use it in combat until you beat the game. furthermore, if you don't like it, you can just box it

>>715289569

you don't need permission to make references to the eiffel tower, indian elephants, and other real-world shit
removing references to other works only makes things dull. if references were illegal, no other works would try them. the reason they crack down on them is to lessen the workload of shitcalizers'

I mean I get wanting things to sync up. And honestly they have so much goodwill from normalfags that I think they could continue to ride out like that for a while longer sadly. But eventually that will catch up with them like it did for CoD. They should definitely slow down a little. Release a few side projects and let the main line team have more time to innovate and make something worth while.
And hopefully they get their shit together before my wife gets her remake game.

>>715293327
They're operating from the assumption that new pokemon = sales. It's backwards. They need to make people fall in love with pokemon from the current gen, that's where the profit and the value proposition for the customer is. New generations need to be perfect more than they need to be on time. There is no harm in staying in one generation for longer to make sure the next one comes out right. If anything, it gives the current generation more time to breath and develop it's own identity.

Its not cherrypicking most of gen 5 designs are like that , even hydreigon looks terrible

the strawberry plantbug

>>715293717
Gen 5 is extremely hit or miss. For every pokemon in it that I love like Galvantula, there's a pokemon like Basculin. It delivers some of my favorites like Beartic and Litwick, but it also has Sawk and Vanillish.
>>715293915
You cannot talk about gen 5's designs without cherrypicking. They're all bad or great, very few inbetween. That's still better than gen 8 and 9 being all bad though.

>>715294652
Is there any part of digimon that's good other than a select few anime? They can't keep their continuity straight either.

>>715293856
No, the problem is japan, they dont see Pokemon as video game anymore if not a style of life like hello kitty or mickey mouse, they are using Pokemon for tourism and other shit now

>>715295292
Games can be a hit or miss, I do like some of the games tho, rumble arena, world championship, dawn/dusk, world DS, Cyber Sleuth, Hacker's memory, I like all those games, Time stranger looks like it's gonna be fun too, survive was kinda ass, but that's mainly on me for not liking VN and thinking the SRPG aspect was enough to continue playing when in reality was integral to the VN experience and my very specific complaint about not being able to save every character on the first run.

>>715293717
Two of these aren't even that bad. It's just a meme to hate them at this point. The only miss here is Simisear.

>>715295292
Lately has been better than pkmn, the tcg is better, the games better(the cyber sleuth)

>>715236131 (OP)
i stopped gen 4, designs became terrible, the legendaries from gen 4 sucked

The 3d killed this series for me, Pokemon never is going to look good in 3d even the old games 3d games like stadium and colosseum the Pokemon look like shit, new snap look so plastic, Pokemon only look good in 2d

>>715296970
You have a right to be wrong.

>>715296961
Pretty much, they are ok combat wise.

>>715296970
Their design philosophy only works for 2d, other monster collectgames look good in 3d because the designs are more detailed and more overdesigned, even i dont like how most pal from palworld looks

heart gold
I played it up until past the first gym and realized I wasn't having any fun at all. Haven't played any pokemon games other than mystery dungeon since.
Luckily I had a friend who wanted to buy the game and pokewalker from me so I wasn't out that much.

>>715296262
Gen V was meh at best, MAYBE gen VI too... everything past you can skip

>>715236131 (OP)
>when
After Emerald
>why
Because I had already played the exact same game 3 gens in a row, and they were clearly not moving in a direction that would make it worth playing more of it.

They kept dumbing down the gameplay mechanics. I got half way through BW2 and downloaded the Emerald remake demo. The whole thing involved being given the counter type pokemon and one-shotting the enemy. There was an ice room in one of those last two games I played that basically had you going left, then up. Why include it at all? Whats the point of a cave if its basically a straight path with an unnecessary pokemon healing center in the middle? The game was basically a strategy/resource management game and they stripped out all of those elements completely. I never cared about the childish stories or the creatures themselves and that is the only focus the franchise seems to care about now.
Yes, I did enjoy the brutal mazes in the first couple of games. I love Eridanus too.

>>715295292
>continuity (singular)
what do you mean? digimon has continuities. each iteration takes whatever bits best suit it.
I enjoyed the ps1 card game a lot. building new decks is really fun. plenty of variety to go around. stuff quick offense red/black deck, all-or-nothing 3x damage decks, quick evolve anti-evolution nigh-unkillable green-blue decks, quick-evolve yellow decks, self-destruct+drain decks, gimmicky milling decks, abnormal condition/special digivolve abuse decks, etc.)
you've also got
>adventure (PSP)
>cyber sluts and hacker's memory
>the pet-raising RPGs (world, decode, next order)
>the DS RPGs (especially dusk/dawn)
>digimon world 3 (grindy but you can funnel all exp into 1 mon to counteract that, pre-rendered world is stunning and hold up well to this day, card-game minigame is fun. circuit board maze in the second half of the game is dogshit though)

>>715299025
Digimon fans are this delusional lmao

Samefag thread

When I was a kid back then I thought sexualizing pokemon with humans was ground breaking in the setting and in real life, which excited me so I promoted it a lot.

I'm sorry.

>>715299528
We shall see. As now the lowest graphical digimon game is basically two gens superior to the best pokemon game. If we want to weight the "meat" the numbers over pokemon and digimon are the same. On the customization (of the creatures) possibilities, digimon beats pokemon hands down. They both have fuckable monsters and trainers, so thats a draw. Digimon games usually have a story, pokemon games are just a tower to climb, that's subjecitve on the liking but objectively, a game needs more than "gather medals to do X while the passive plot happens around me".
Nintendo is making ZERO effort to innovate or to create something different and that doesn't look like minimum effort mobile game. That's awful, you can't defend the last mainline pokemon, it looks like something done by indians. Gamefreak showed that the low quality of pokemon games is 100% nintendo's fault, which everybody knows that but it was shown full and center at the summer fest.
The gauntlet is thrown for this year.

>>715299859

It's been too long since I played them but IIRC in BW you goes to the wheel with a fat sweaty gay man and in B2W2 with a trap, but it got changed in the intl. localization

>>715283125
Palworld only made me appreciate monster genres more. It doesn't play like pkm, but god damn there's stuff I see in Palworld and ask myself why isn't gamefreak doing this every new game pokes feel so lifeless

>>715301331
They can't copy it now because palworld patents, get fucked poketurd

Have you noticed that Pokemon has been very slowly eliminating the "adventure" part of their series? Over time, they just stop focusing on making cool environments, or making the journey feel long, even going as far as to putting more focus on cities than routes. It's really killing it for me.

Pokefags only want play the same shit game, they deserve all garbage they get, they buy it anyways. Sv Already the second most selling pkmn game , it's a lost cause

>>715301331
boomer take but these 3d games look awful to me. i miss the sprite work from the older games

>>715257626
biologically speaking they COULD be male, just not in universe because male Salandits are such massive Simps for the females and especially Salazzles that they give them most of their food and in return are rather malnourished which leads to them not having enough nutrients to evolve.

Basically male/female Salandits have that Onlyfans lifestyle.

But in theory it also means that if you were to separate the males from the females maybe they could evolve.

>>715301824
Not boomer thing, nobody likes Pokemon in 3d

I stopped playing after Ultra Sun/Moon, the reason is because they removed the national dex

Gen 2 is a mishmash of half baked ideas cobbled together to make a barely functioning game. It's stuck between being a sequel to Gen 1, being an expansion pack and balance patch of Gen 1, and being its own thing, and it fails at all three. It is by far the most "HEY REMEMBER GEN 1???" game in the series (like moving Bill to Goldenrod, having Lance show up to save the day and walk you through beating up team rocket, having the "Indigo" Elite Four WITH AN OLD KANTO GYM LEADER, WOW, and then having the entirety of Kanto as a victory lap ending with you fighting Red is far worse than anything Kalos did), it relies far too heavily on Gen 1 Pokemon while deliberately hiding new ones (like sticking every single new Dark or Steel type not named Umbreon in Kanto or hiding them behind ridiculously obtuse mechanics like special headbutt trees), and the competitive metagame is even more unbalanced and centralized than Gen 1's (having more "viable" Pokemon doesn't change the fact that nearly everything is either running a fucking rest talk set, spamming curse, OR BOTH).
