For real, what the fuck? Pokemon games are now having seasons?

I hate this fucking trend.

i love fortnite battlepass
can you subscribe

>>720513050 (OP)
Do you get the Mega Stone just for participating or are they actually going to make you become a metafag in order to rack up wins for the reward?

>>720513493
It would be fucking funny if only the top ranked players win the stones.

smogon chads won't have this problem

>>720513050 (OP)
it's not a battlepass it's just a reward for online ranked battles, they've been doing this since like gen 8 at least

>>720513169
False equivalence
Dual versions only matter for what Pokemon are available to you which exists to encourage trading, which was available to you at release.

A better comparison would be limited time event Pokemon, especially back when it required physically going to select locations to obtain them, which has been a thing since the series inception.

Is this not locking the Kalos starters' mega evolutions behind paid online?

>>720515249
You have to pay to play online though

>>720517156
>>720517131
If you really can't afford to pay 7 dollars for 3 months of online then jesus lol

Is every megaevolition design that fucking bad?

>>720513050 (OP)
it was over the moment they started doing "raids"

>>720517131

Take it up with Nintendo not Gamefreak.
Switch online is cheap anyway.

>>720513050 (OP)
online ranked has been a thing for literally longer than it has not been a thing. you wouldn't know this because your SEAmonkey pinoynigger village got internet literally a week ago. you've never played a video game before.

>>720513050 (OP)
I fucking hate mega evolutions they are so lazy and lame. Just give pokemons a fourth evolution instead. Gamefreak is a disgrace and should be burned to the ground.

>backup save
>edit in the stones
>reimport save

you arent actually giving these squinty eye jews money are you?

>>720513050 (OP)

Are they retarded?

Bad bait.

>>720520004
>the wizard is a wizard. are they retarded?
???? are you?????????????

>>720513050 (OP)
2 more gens max before we get pokemon with paid gacha rolling.

>>720520004
She's a wizard

>>720517156
If you can't afford $20 A YEAR online you are brown enough that I don't want to play games with you, cry about it thirdie

>>720513050 (OP)
imagine having these as your favourite starters and being NTR'd out of using their megas for the actual game because you didn't want to play fucking competitive time limited ranked pokemon lobbies
Funny as fuck

why does the spinoff game have ranked seasons? and why would you lock the x/y starter megas behind seasonal events that cost money? who made a decision that retarded?

imma just inject the items into my file save and have them months before paypig retards who have to do chores to get them.

>>720520494
Legends games are considered mainline games according to GF is why.

>>720520965
This. The hackers are going to make this DLC plan backfire so horribly for Nintendo and GameFreak.

>>720520004
I miss Braixen

>>720513050 (OP)
omega ruby/sapphire were the last gamefreak games worth playing
everything after that is just unrepentant slop with garbage art direction

>>720517350
>pokemon fans when they haven't paid for something in 5 minutes

>ite
So it's not mega evolution?

>>720513050 (OP)
the really weird part isn't that the stones require online ranked, its that Legends ZA's jank ass battle system has an online ranked mode at all.

>>720523203
Not an argument.
Why are you a gamer if 7 dollars is a huge concern?

>>720513050 (OP)
What's the justification for making Greninja a helicopter

>>720523619
i'm so glad for paypigs, really. it's a guarantee that i will never have to pay for games, ever, cause there will always be a sucker who does it for me
>bro do you not have-
lmao, hey you do you man

I have a hard time believing this experimental pvp mode tacked on to the single player oriented Legends combat is going to keep me occupied long enough to get Mega Chesnaught. And that's still assuming the seasons are short ones and like a month long each.
I loved Legends Arceus but I still played it to death within the timeframe of like two months. This series just isn't live service oriented.

>>720514654
They won't be playable until Hampions

>>720513493
If it's anything like the shiny birds it'll be like five matches.

Where the fuck are the Sinnoh starter Megas?!

>>720513050 (OP)
I'm so happy that I dropped this shit franchise. This is just disgusting.

>>720523876
PvP and preparing for it is literally the entire post-game of almost every Switch-era Pokemon game. They took away everything else.

>>720513169
You were never supposed to have both, the whole point was to force you to trade with another player who a had the other.

>>720523841
Are you brown? I'm talking about Switch online retard.

>>720523619
It doesn't matter if its 1 dollar, 1000 dollars or a penny. Being forced to pay for this shit is wrong.

>>720524321
>real gamers pay to use their own internet, again!
i mean maybe it was less retarded in your head, idk

who cares

>A sucker will pay for switch online for me!

That's not how the service works. I bet this sounded really smart in your head. You're a fucking idiot.

>>720513050 (OP)
If you're still playing Pokemon and giving GF money, then you only have yourself to blame for what they've become.

>>720523876
I was really hoping the next legends game (this) would be similar to LA because I loved just wandering the wilds and catching Pokemon without bothering with trainers. Big boss Pokemon with high levels were fun to challenge at low levels because unlike a trainer mon, you could also catch the boss after and it would stay huge.
It's a shame ZA is literally the complete opposite, with zero wilds, only segregated Pokemon pens to get them in, and a total focus on trainers.

>>720523619
>pokemon fans WILL pay for internet, then pay for the console, then pay for the game, then pay for the alternate version of the game, then pay for the dlc, then pay to actually make use of their own internet
heavens

Is this a new palworld-like?

Heads up, do not send any pokemon from your old games to this one, Game Freak just announced Pokemon in this game can not be transferred out and any Pokemon transferred in from Pokemon Home is locked there permanently

>>720524923
Because apparently, Z-A is considered the first game of Generation 10 and they're cutting off support from Gen9 and 8.

Shocking

>>720525851
That's not what reddit spacing even is. "Reddit spacing" is the lack of any hard line break in their post. Reddit does it for them so those tards come here and don't do it since they're too stupid to properly format their posts on their own.

>>720513050 (OP)
the greninja is so fucking stupid
i get if it went upside down now and again ot maybe with certain attacks but being perpetualy upside down is the worst hting ever

>>720525501
Actually it’s because pokemon transferee in have stats erased from them since the systems work differently so theoretically people could reroll natures and other things by sending them in and out.

>>720527741
but greninja anon!
he's so cool

>>720513050 (OP)
Games generally have a scope and a timeline for how they get designed, as well as a certain budget, they know Pokemon is gonna sell like hotcakes regardless so having something like a 'season pass' gives developers time to continue working on the project WITHOUT delaying it. If the DLC content they are working on was part of the game then it wouldn't be released until next year which means they lose the holiday sales.

>invested enough into Pokémon to consider this a "scam" and cheat for the items.
>but not invested enough to play online
Having pokemon-type autism must be wild. What use are they in a typical playthrough? entitled retards

>>720517131
>>720517156
Not to defend it, but how is it different than locking trade evos behind online?

>>720518621
>it was over on the ONE difficult content for the series
no
