And it will sell 7.9 million copies.

59 without the nintendo bonus

Literal shovelware

>>723415547 (OP)
Ohnonono

its over

this time it will flop

>>723416135
Just two more weeks.

>>723415547 (OP)
Should be 49 at least

>>723415547 (OP)
>it keeps dropping

>>723416135
No it wont, gg you tried

>>723416338
switch 1 version outselling the 2. Why is that do you think?

>below 80 despite the nintendo bonus
Just how shit is this game?

>>723416093
ya but it has pikachu!

>>723416062
The Nintendo bonus only applies to mainline Zelda and occasionally Mario games

We need the Nintendo seal of quality back

>>723416479
about on par with the newer main line pokemons game

Sounds like the perfect game to me. I just need something so I can turn my brain off while my wife and her boyfriend are banging next door.

>>723416426
It's $10 cheaper.

>>723416426
retard

>>723416575
Not true it also extends to pokemon, splatoon, dk, and kirby for mainline entries

>build another underpowered tablet
>release mediocre games that look like shit
>make it all expensive
>game key cards

What the fuck is Nintendo doing man? I would have actually bought their new console too.

>>723416426
because both are cheaper, holy shit are you stupid?

>>723416652
surely though if people owned a switch 2 than they'll pay the $10 for the edition ya? I mean why spend $500 than buy the lesser version? Are tendies that retarded?

>>723416426
Its a switch 1 game with an upgrade retard

>>723416671
oh no i upset the tendie :(
sorry your pokeslop is as mid as the last decade worth of entries

>>723416828
so tendies wanna buy the lesser verion than pay the extra $10 to get a download to update it? Why not just have it on the cart and pay $70 from the start and not bloat the harddrive with the upgrade? Why can you fucks never make sense? Why waste $500 on a machine just to jew out and get the weaker version?

>>723415547 (OP)
79 minus the nintendo bonus, minus the woke bonus, minus the paid shills bought by a major corporation bonus, that puts it about 49.

49 is the actual score.

this utter dogshit looks like a mobile game. Nintendo bonus alone has to be like 44664846846486648135348348 to even make it into positive numbers. Who buys this dogshit aside clueless gen alpha and retarded boomers is a mystery

Yes, that's right - people feel good & enjoy playing Nintendo games.

I'm gonna pirate this game so gamefreak goes bankrupt (I won't play it though)

nooooo!! they'll lose soooooo much money if you do that!!!

Don't forget that 1 download means 1 lost sale. If you download it 1 million times they lose 1 million sales... imagine...

holy shit

Real score is 49

Is this better than sv?

>>723417698
english speaking website brownie

Why not just play digimon or palworld? 2 vastly superior games that don’t need a toy tablet to run.

>>723415547 (OP)
OH NO NO NO STOP THE REVIEWS NOW

It's genuinely a fucking horrible

It's the same dumbed down battle system as PLA, but this time every fucking move has a fucking cooldown and it looks stupid as shit
Worst tutorial in the entire franchise. The faggot friend does not stop yapping
Stupid map design. Every single area looks the fucking same
Wild zones are smaller than your tranny dick

It's dogshit

>>723417981
Depends. If you hate pokemon, have shit taste and all you want is throw balls and you're willing to forget that PLA already fills that niche, then the game is better than SV.

Oh no!
>Sells more than goyderman 2

>>723417631
They make billions off of cardboard, and it's only getting worse. That's never happening.

>>723418071
Why would I spend $120 on Digimon when that series' track record is arguably even worse than Pokemon's?

>>723418281
>doesn’t mention palworld
I can SMELL the fucking fear from this post

the first Pokemon game to sell zero copies

>>723418416
You mean the game still in early access? THAT Palworld?

>>723418071
Pokefags are cultists + their crappy console can't play either of those games

>>723418572
Pokemon Z-A isn’t even in access

>>723418071
Digimon is fine but why would anyone play palworld, it's just an ARK clone

>>723417625
>people feel good & enjoy looking at their bank account after reviewing Nintendo games.
FIFY

>>723418572
Palworld in it's current state is still better than ZA will ever be

>>723415547 (OP)
>69 without the bonus
oh no no no

>>723419014
49

The only thing this will have on Digimon is the sales because tendies are genuine cultists. Can’t believe digimon launched a better Pokémon game than Pokémon.

>Why not just play digimon or palworld?

Pokemon fans don't care about "playing" the game outside of a small niche of competitive autists and content creators. Hell they don't even care about graphic or perfomance as long as the pokemon look decent.

People who think Gamefreak shitting out garbage will ever damage their sales in a significative way don't get that the franchise is completely dominated by nostalgic retards and children who only care about collecting magical pets with a very specific design and in a very specific setting.

Only way pokefags will ever stop buyig the games is if they make a new gen where 90% of the designs are so dogshit they wouldn't want to capture any of them. Which is basically impossible because they have their formula down and at worst they can always fall back to nostalgia and shit out another Pikachu or Kanto evoution/megaevolution/whateverfuck-alternate form.

>>723416575

>let me schizo out for a minute

>>723420064
but he wasn't wrong though?

>>723416426
Maybe because the switch 1 has a 160million install base and the switch 2 like 8 or something?

>>723420170
and the fact it's cheaper too so parents would buy it for their family's

It's a 6 at best. Journos will forever be a joke.

>>723416426
Probably because the S2 is an expensive piece of shit nobody wants. Just a guess.

>>723415547 (OP)

That's an appropriate score, Pokemon was always an extremely mediocre RPG

>>723419261
Tendies have ruined the ESL insult.

>>723422640
Sometimes I wonder if they know what it actually means because the context in which they use it in as an insult doesn’t make sense.

>>723415547 (OP)
the only 10/10 is from thesixthaxis
i though they were a playstation fansite?
are they trying to shill for nintendo's attention with this?

>>723415547 (OP)
I can't wait to see that number go down even further

>>723423274
Contrary to popular belief most sony fans don’t hate Nintendo. It’s the other way around.

>>723420392
>everyone says battles are fun but other stuff needs improvement

it clearly does so I'm not understanding why you're mad at some anon not playing the game if they don't deem it ready to play it's like waiting for a game with huge potential but is plagued with bugs to get polished up also he is right that they don't really play it for the campaign considering that shit is short they worry more about the competitive scene and shiny hunting if you actually take one look at /vp/

>>723423819
a 100 seems a little too much for a review like that desu

>>723423865
People on vp aren't representative of the pokemon players they're extreme outliers

>>723415547 (OP)
This is probably the worst game I have played all year. /v/ and /vp/ tricked me once again. If I didn't have such a great time with Digimon I would be more upset.

Even Digimon World 1 looks to be better than legends ZA

>>723424254
You should have seen the pre release red flags dude

>>723424120
then what is one memorable thing about ZA's campaign story mode because most are a blah besides the ending when you fight the drugged up floette and no pokemon girls do not count

>>723415547 (OP)
Incredibly high score for such and underwhelming game. Like idk if it's just me but lately there have been a shit ton of shit games getting great scores. Silksong for example scoring a 90+ on Metacritic, shit is overrated as fuck.

>>723424584
Remember that score is 10 points higher since the Nintendo bonus is included

>>723426535
Don't look into Dragon Quest or you'll really freak out

Strange, this is my first Pokemon game ever and I’m oddly having a lot of fun

There’s a side quest where this little green dude is beefing with a taxi and it’s genuinely so charming. Felt like I was watching an episode of the cartoon.

>>723427382
Good goy consume the slop

>>723427459
Hasn’t been slop so far. If I would compare this to the new Digimon game, this one definitely has a huge leg up exploration wise. The city is very huge, and I found myself getting chased in a random alleyway.

also, it genuinely is a pretty game

You are what's wrong with this board.

>>723419870
this
i noticed that the only reason i kept caring about pokemon is due to the setting and designs after gen 5 and 6 were such big disappointments for me
and even that keeps getting worse and worse
playing actually decent spin-offs and fangames, watching the anime, reading the manga(s) and even reading fanfiction are better ways to enjoy pokemon than actually engaging with the "primary" material i.e. gamefreak's turds

thats true too but if you keep at it you eventually run into people who actually want to discuss things without shitposting
he stepped up and said no the game is nice it looks nice too then the other guy questioned his view that the visuals were good and he said nope never mind not doing this
which left me wondering if he wanted to discuss the game at all

>>723429391
And? Are you implying GF is hurting for funding? Even if that were the case, it's all one brand, and the games are the "main event."

People still buying Pokemon made so much sense after I read a Twitter post by some random guy who said that the new games were absolute ass but Pokemon Green always comforted him when his parents were fighting so that why he'll always keep buying Pokemon. That post had thousands of likes.

Don't like pokemon? Why care about it?
What tentative buyer will be persuaded one way or the other by a review on a franchise that's been the same for 30 years? This will be Arceus but worse.

What kind of mentality is this ?
I'm employed myself and have responsibilities but I don't seek the most braindead media experience because I just don't want to think. Part of the excitement and enjoyment is discovering new mechanics and learning them and having a new experience with a game that I'd not get anywhere else.
He's basically saying that Pokemon should have a similar function to background noise you put on while doing chores

>>723418071
>Why not just play digimon or palworld? 2 vastly superior games
Digimon has always played worse. It doesn't matter how shiny the graphics get when the battle system is still bland. I don't know much about Palworld but the world looks very bland to me, I'd rather just play Kenshi if I wanted base building since the world there is actually fun.

>Pokemon fans don't care about "playing" the game
This is unfathomable levels of cope. Maybe that's true for Gen 5 fags that go around screaming it's the peak then start melting down when you question them about the gameplay, but it's not true for everybody.

Nta
so, you're just outputting your subjective opinion that means nothing because it's you're first game and what would that even compare and contrast into for this so-called fun?

yeah, still not good and executed horribly also this would've worked more with cubone more than feraligatr

>>723417515

>>723427660
the city lacks a certain whimsy that the hisui region did but the exploration when you actually get to play has been kind of cool. I only got to play like 3 hours today so I'm still stuck in tutorial land of do 3 side missions are there really only 6 areas to catch wild pokemon and battle them? I know you can catch lil niggas running around if they aren't already someone's I also haven't even unlocked the day night cycle so wew.

>>723445004

At this point how is pokemon any worse than fifa, their both yearly slop.

Pokemon is at least not a casino shit sim and also the full main campaign is on the cartridge and not some nu online only shit

>>723437389
You're delusional if you don't think this isn't dropping to at least 7.7 when it's all said and done. Hell, Edge will probably drag it all the way down to 7.6.

>>723415547 (OP)
I thought a score in the 70s is only given to not piss off Devs and not lose review copies?

>>723416575
True. However, the Pokemon Bonus applies to Pokemon.

People play games for their own reasons, not everyone needs every game to be tryhard Dark Souls shit.

>>723416794
If you're not playing the lowest end version of a pokemon game, you're not getting the true experience. Even PCfags are playing the Switch 1 version.

>>723417130
It is a return to form but they neglect to mention that every game is in form.

>>723444751
Yeah you D1 ingrate, that’s a funky thing called “giving your opinion”. I played the game, neither of you didn’t, so your tap water takes are as significant as the shit in my ass.

>>723418142
>already fills that niche
You don't get to use this as an argument when every pokemon game is the same

>>723418572
The game will never be finished because Nintendo keeps making them change and remove gameplay features

>>723419870
>Only way pokefags will ever stop buyig the games is if they make a new gen where 90% of the designs are so dogshit they wouldn't want to capture any of them.

>>723448286
It's the Nintendo bonus.
Critics can't give Nintendo games too low ratings, or fans will grab a pitchfork and go to war.
Just look at the reaction back then, when they gave TP an 8.8. It was the end of the world; all hell broke loose.

>>723449469
except that 8.8 is a pretty bullshit score. And the fact that critics think LoU:P2 was high quality shows everything you need to know how difunctional game critics are.

>>723421189
does that one christian gamer review site still exist? they seemed surprisingly trustworthy back a few years ago.

>>723448280
meh not really. Its even more embarrassing how people shill FUCKING CASINO SIMS and live service shit like arc raiders.

>>723449547
I like Zelda but I think TP is pretty shitty, desu.

>>723450854
yeha honestly i've been noticing this behavior with reviewers this year for some reason. Games can barely even get high 80s now. What made reviewers so fucking stingy now??
We really need some universal game standards

>>723415547 (OP)
Slowly going to -70/100.

>>723451302
Maybe if you’re a retarded tendie yeah. There are multiple games this year with 90+.

also lmao, DK:B is a top rated game. Big N is doing pretty alright

>>723415547 (OP)
So... After Sonic Crossworlds and Digimon Time Stranger both failed what's the next game are we going to pretend to like to shit on Nintendo?

>>723453338

>9.3 user score
poketroons lost so hard it's unreal KEK

>>723454271
Why are you coping with another game and not Legends Z-A?

>>723430568
Now hold on, I've been reading my baby Knight Owl and Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel and both those books are higher quality than ZA.

>>723449359
>Claims it will flop
>It doesn't
>WHY A-ARE YOU BRINGING UP SALES????? OF COURSE C-C-CULTISTS BOUGHT IT!!!!!

Oh, boy. And that's WITH the Nintendo bonus. Unbelievable.

>>723454271
And yet SV went on to be one of the best selling pokemon gens ever. The internet bubble you live in does not reflect reality

>>723453338
Sonic reviews better than Pokeshit now and Digimon Time Stranger did better than the previous mainline Pokemon game, ZA will keep falling, the honeymoon phase is already over before it even began

>>723454867
>reviews review reviews
Too bad nobody is playing that shit despite the shill campaign

Will tendie cult try to harass unimpressed reviewers like they did with BOTW?

>>723454741
WHAT FUCKING NINTENDO BONUS ARE YOU MOTHER FUCKING FAGGOTS TALKING ABOUT!??!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!

YOU KNOW WHAT GETS BONUSES?!?!? FUCKING SONY!!!!!!!!!!! NINTENDO HAS ONLY EVER WON 1 FUCKING GOTY AWARD. SONY GET SHILLED WAY HARDER. FUCK OFF

>>723454798
Yes, McDonalds is the best restaurant worldwide because it makes so much money

>>723454921
Botw has reviews and sales. Cope more, faggot

>>723454921
Jim sterling deserved it for becoming a troon

>>723454798
It sold 2 million fewer copies than the previous gen, despite there being several million more Switches in use when it was released. Its sales also declined much more rapidly compared to the previous few gens and were substantially supported by console bundles.

>>723454741
Kek true

>>723454927
Relax ok?

>>723454968
Yeah, and journo numbers don't mean jack shit either. You don't get to bring up bullshit metrics of quality and then get mad when someone brings up another bullshit metric

>>723415547 (OP)
Honestly this game should at most be a 7/10 and that is being generous. The people who rated it more than that are either die hard Pokémon fans or people who were excited that the game isn't turn based.

>>723454921
>NO NOT MUH HECKING JOURNOSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The difference between 24 mil and 26 mil doesn't mean jack shit.

Journos pander to the discord tranny crowd without realizing they're not the ones who buy or play games, they just gossip online about them

>>723455040
It's old news anyways. SV just recently officially passed SwSh, so your comment about it having poor legs is total dogshit

>>723429483
Yep. This game is the Anti PLA.

Follow the thread. It's literally about how digimon/sonic flopped despite "reviewing well". How the shit is bring up sales not relevant to the conversation?

>>723455442
>mad
Huh?

>>723455481
Neither of those games flopped though

>Mega evolutions
>remove abilities
what's the fucking point???

>>723455536
I don't care. I didn't make the original post

>>723455465
>The consumer is always right on their choice!
Oh, so you consider FIFA and COD the best video game series on the market? You must also think Taylor Swift is better than any singer who ever lived?
Good to know!

>>723453338
Give it a week or two and it will be 7.7 or lower. I wouldn't be surprised if the Edge review sends it all the way down to 7.5.

>>723455714
What's a better soccer game than FIFA? What's a better online multiplayer shooter than COD?

What exactly does a journalist prove when they give games like fifa or cod or pokemon a low rating? That they're fart sniffing trannies?

>>723455465
>pozzed
But enough about Pokemon.

>>723455714
The general public, is retarded, sure, but journos are even more stupid. Both are terrible metrics of quality

>>723455647
You do considering you brought it up

>>723418071
Pokefags do not like any monster designs that aren't Pokemon. They will openly mock other franchises while ignoring that their complaints also apply to Pokemon, but they played one as a kid so that's what they're going to play.

>>723455820
Nigger I brought it up because I was just trying to show that sales numbers are a valid point when discussing whether or not something is a flop. You've moved the goalposts with every fucking post, just give it up already.

>>723455792
>Moving the goalposts.
Appropriate for the conversation at hand.
You said that sales are the only mark of quality, which means that soccer games are the best game genre because they consistently perform well, unlike any other genre; therefore, you must be a fan of them and think they're better than Pokémon.
After all, soccer revenue is greater than Pokémon revenue. Correct?

>>723455816
Gaming is only art-form where the critics are expected to be fully aligned with the general audience.

>>723455925
I tried that dragon quest monsters game recently and it was ass

>>723455959
And? That doesn't mean they are.

>>723455714
>Oh, so you consider FIFA and COD the best video game series on the market?
Yes.
>You must also think Taylor Swift is better than any singer who ever lived?
I do.
What's your argument now?

>>723455952
Soccer is more popular than Pokemon. And?

>Pokefags: "The public determines what is good! Not snobbish critics!"
>User Score: 3.5
>Pokefags: "NOOO THAT DOESN'T COUNT!!!! ONLY SALES DO!!!!!1111"

>>723456017
It means that it's fine if a critic likes a game you hate or dislikes a game you like.

>People itt are actually trying to argue that game critics are a good measure of quality
The fucking state of this board

>>723456091
...and? I seriously don't see what that has to do with whether or not journo scores are not a good metric of quality

>>723456027
They're bigger than Pokemon.
So, do you think Pokémon is a worse franchise overall?

>>723456160
I guess so. What's your argument now?

>>723456085
User scores aren't the general public either you dumb retard

>>723456085
Kek

>>723456146
If you really need someone to tell you if a game is worth your money or not you're supposed to find a couple of guys you commonly agree with and check out what they had to write about it.

>>723415547 (OP)
I mean it's like one point better than Digimon, and I like Digimon, so maybe it's not so bad.

I don't even know what people expect out of this game.

>>723456085
3,800 user scores from people who have no way of verifying that they even played the game vs 27,000,000 copies sold
hmmmm

>>723456206
...and? I don't know why you keep responding to me. This still has nothing to do with me original post. Am I witnessing dead internet theory at work or something?

>>723456190
Keep moving the goalpost

>>723456095
>Tendies: "DK Bananza sold really poorly, but it got a 93 on Metacritic! So it's a good game! TAKE THAT!"

>>723417319
lmao

>>723456282
>DK Bananza sold really poorly
Nobody says this

>>723456282
Not everyone on this board is the same person. All jornofag posting is fucking cancer. All of it.

>>723456272
How is that moving the goalposts? It's literally addressing the crux of the post. You faggots don't even know what you are saying half the time, are you?

>see people having fun with ZA
>get the urge to finish S/V

Uncanny

>>723454798
And neither does the internet bubble you live in where literally everything lives and dies by pure FOMO.

>>723457545
>internet bubble you live in where literally everything lives and dies by pure FOMO
Genuinely what internet bubble are you even talking about?

>>723457657
The entire internet currently, actually.
SV didn't become the bestselling games on their merits as good games, they did so because they're part of a successful brand in the age of FOMO. I full expect LZA to outsell them for the same reason, in fact.

>>723457762
So? Whether or not something is a flop IS determined by how well it sold though. That was the entire point of my post. If you actually bothered to read the thread chain, the discussion was about how ritic reviews aren't a good barometer for whether or not something is a flop. SV were not flops. That is a reality, not a fake internet bubble.

>>723415682
It'll sell way more than that, isn't pokemon literally the biggest thing in the world?

>>723456229
3/4 of those sales are to manchildren and kids lmao

>>723457930
Explain how Monster Hunter Wilds is still considered a flop despite how ridiculously well it sold then.

>>723458157
Probably because MH is technically a live service game and as of right now nobody gives a single shit about Wilds the newest one

>>723417319
>>723417412
the word is
antiwhite
not woke
antiwhite
you cucked faggots

>>723458157
Probably because of it's budget I would guess? Obviously sales aren't the whole part of the picture, but you'd have to be downright retarded to say that sales don't matter when considering whether or not something is a flop

>>723419870
Couldn't have said it better myself

>>723435667
What gameplay is there to Pokemon its literally paper rock scissor baby tier JRPG lmao

Will it go down again? Should honestly be lower for how ugly and non varied the map is and that you hear the same two songs all the time

>>723444546
its not the fact that it doesn't look interesting, its that when he's not doing the big skull he looks like he has a toilet bowl on his head

>>723458623

Did you get all the gold symbols? Gold prints? What's your ball rank online? Or ELO? Yeah shut up faggot.

>>723458768
My online ball rank is ur mom

>>723415547 (OP)
I don't get why people care so much. Yeah, Legends ZA looks like fucking shit but I'm also no longer the target audience and there's nothing wrong with that.

Pokemon's always going to sell, and it's going to take a major shift for it to not sell. Just move on, the old games are there for you and people make hacks if you want more content.

>>723458887
Why is Pokemon supposed to be for kids only? Because it has cartoonish monsters in it?
Why cant it be played by adults/teenager with a developed brain and taste.

Its like saying

>Bro Dragon Quest is for kids who cares about it

And letting the franchise rot because "its for kids", but yet it didn't happen. Its played by all ages and continues developing, why cant Pokeshit do the same?

>>723458887
>I'm also no longer the target audience
You don't age out of being the target audience, the main demographic buying this garbage is over 30

>fun and light kids' game
>thread full of people foaming at the mouth at each other

The idea of people seething this much over Pokemon is unfathomable to me. Like do you guys do this for new Ninja Turtles releases too? Or is it all just Sony shills calling the game bad and Nintendo shills defending it?

>>723459156
It’s a copout argument for why pokemon games are consistently shit.

this game is hilariously bad lmao

>>723459360
It's depressing that a game of such obvious low quality that looks like a dated mobile game is able to make so much money
