Thread 723427185

imagine paying $80+ for this shit LMAO

>>723427185 (OP)
ayy lmao

and STILL!

Idk that thing is pretty funny

>>723427185 (OP)
Mega starnie is the least of the games problems

>>723427185 (OP)
>that pose

iunno cuh, it finna growin on me

It looks genuinely funny but it feels like somebody saw The Suicide Squad and just decided to put Starro in the game.
Which is kind of ironic, considering the Palworld lawsuit.

It’s only $60 on switch 1.

>>723427532
I wonder how many anons know what this thing is.

>>723427292
Kek based image

But I didn't?
No Serena, no buy.

>>723427185 (OP)
That's the only thing I've seen from that game that I kind of like

>>723427806
It's funny because it's from Sword and Shield six years ago. And STILL not buyin it!

>>723427732
>Dad starts talking about Pepe

>>723427185 (OP)
they're so hellbent of subverting expectations that the greatest enemy to good designs is people that do fanart for free
that starmie is fucking stupid but I kinda love it now

Temporary forms/evolutions are fucking gay.

>>723427185 (OP)
Nobody even likes this pokemon why make it the same? Give is a ditto face like :) and it would be more interesting

gamefreak has to be sandbagging on purpose, right? like, i get that they've never been the world's greatest programmers, but this level of incompetence is not normal. a team of professionals handed $20 million just does not turn in this embarrassing level of work unless something has gone really, really wrong, and they do it every single game

>>723427185 (OP)
THE STARMIE BROKE CONTAINMENT WTF IT WALKS

It's funny, but given the state of pokemon, for widely different reasons.

>>723428150
The alternative is making mons with 4 evolution stages which is somehow a bad thing.

>>723427680
>considering the Palworld lawsuit.
Have you seen the gameplay? It looks just like palworld but with less player control

I'm imagining

>>723427668
we need the link up

>>723427185 (OP)
Why exactly are you getting upset over stuff like this? I don't think you'd behave like this about a similar character appearing in another game. Does the big cactus with a funny moustache from Final Fantasy 7 remake piss you off too? Or is that kind of silliness fine, but for some reason this isn't?

>>723429268
because the cactus man feels joyful, while the new mega designs reek of bitter resentment. game freak hates its consumerbase

>>723429334
That's not a very good answer.

>>723429371
why not? it's clearly true. people can sense the intent behind artist's work, and ZA is absolutely dripping with malice

>>723427185 (OP)

> people will ignore how fucking lazy this design looks because of muh earthbound reference and memes
its a shame that this is probably why we got this shit design, not to be interesting or cool but for fucking internet clout , its like DUnspace's evolution all over again

>>723427185 (OP)
Starmie/Staryu used to be my second favorite Pokémon, but this is so disgusting it's ruined them.

No, it's just bad. Bad and lazy.

Crazy how everything turned out for gaming.

It is what it is.

>>723431014
Regional variations was probably the best idea Pokemon has had since gens 1-4. Of that picture, the only bad ones are Persian and the entire Geodude line.

>>723431383
magnet golem is based

>>723431014
It gave me my favorite Pokemon line so I'll take regional variants.

Paying $59.99 for just a Mega Starmie? That is pretty insane, yeah

>>723427680
It’s a reference to one of creatures inc.’s earlier games.

>>723429976
>we made it goofy and comical on purpose
I remember when people liked gag characters and design. I guess everything has to look like "my fanart that i made in my head".

LOL

>>723431774
there is no dick in the world you wouldn't suck if it was painted yellow to remind you of pikachu

>>723431774
>its le funneh so it's good XD!

>>723427185 (OP)
did they just wrap a starmie model around some humanoid skeleton?

>>723431929
how many baggu in anus today?

>>723431929
They also levitated

>>723431721
They look, quite literally, nothing alike. They're both bipeds, that's about it. Nu starmie has more in common with blasphemous design wise

>>723431809
Do you want me to suck yours too? Sounds like you do. If it'll make you feel better

>>723432028
why are you offering to suck my dick?

>>723429334
Mega Starmie is also joyful, especially in motion.

>>723432119
were you beaten as a child? is this why you mistake pain for love?

>>723431929
Those still didn't look nearly as weird as mega Starmie. It doesn't help that the Stadium games are over 10 years old at this point, and most of the time in the modern games, Starmie doesn't move much in its 3D model.

>>723427185 (OP)
I paid $50 for my Switch 2 copy, and even then I still don't see the issue with this. It looks good and in line with the Ultraman reference they were going for. Is this supposed to make pokemon bad? lmao

>>723432005
They wiggled danced, walked and lifted off the ground like a throwing star in the old games, and in Sw/Sh DLC.

>>723431383
The only sin of the Geodude line is that Golem didn't get a signature move that makes use of the railgun on its... head? shoulders?

>>723431014
What did they mean by this?

>>723432241
observe /v/, this is who modern pokemon is made for. he has won, and you have lost

>>723427185 (OP)
Someone give it the Half-Life crowbar

>>723432168
Most of the rest of the megas are shit, Feraligatr especially, but Starmie is just funny enough to give you a smile. You can't hate it.

>>723427185 (OP)

>>723427185 (OP)
I find the concept actually pretty cool but the animations don't go far enough. It does a flip with a pose and has a silly run but it's normal otherwise, there's a lot more they could have done with alien starfish trying to mimic humans.

Would Pokémon games be better if if they just kept the same amount of Pokémon from Gold/Silver and just adding new or expanding up the gameplay mechanics?

>>723427185 (OP)
Yeah, imagine...

>>723432531
>Name one new pokemon design that isn't a fucking Gag in 2025
Only one I can think of is the Mega Man looking ghosts from Gen 9, and that's only because I don't find Mega Man funny unless the 90s eng voices for him, X, or Zero are talking, or stuff like "Jacking in/off" is posted.

>>723432995
No it'd get old very fast.

>>723433073
That's a fucking digimon

>>723432995
pokemon would be garbage regardless of what they did with this team

>>723432531
>if it's not a 100% edgy serious design it's a gag
Is Pikachu a gag? Stop being mindbroken.

>>723433239
The sword one can be both, since Battle Network Protoman is a thing.

>>723433371
Don't even start because Gen 9 has the most fucking tryhard edgy designs of all of them

>>723433947
do you fucking actually think this design is "edgy" you fucking retarded pokefag? You people have serious developmental disabilities because this shit is Bluey tier.

>>723427668
Mega Bazz

>>723437748
it makes me think they legitimately don't care if the games are good. they've got their comfy sinecures sucking from the teat of a cashcow that can't lose, so they basically just fuck around all day and shit out the bare minimum. i know lots of people like that, it's just usually you can't get away with everyone in the company being that way

>>723437863
They never cared. They're Illumination of the games industry

>>723438083
>Have you considered
That you have zero fucking standards?

>>723438101
i have no doubt that the first two games were an autist's passion project. i equally do not doubt that gen 3 was a work of great anxiety, by a man who feared he was not worthy of the magnitude of responsibility that had been thrust on him. i don't think it became obvious that everyone had completely given up until the switch era, when the fans proved they really would buy anything no matter what

>>723438227
All sequels have been quite uninspired with no real innovation or any groundbreaking graphical quality or really anything of note

>>723438347
that's different from "nobody who worked on this game gave a shit from start to finish"
masuda made boring-ass template work over and over, but he did that because he did actually care about the product. he cared so much he never took a single risk in case it would make the whole dream crumble to pieces. but these new teams? man, they do not give a fuck. they'll shit on your face and tell you to say thanks

>>723429786
ok, zoomzoom

>>723438476
It has definitely gotten worse. I think sun and moon was the peak from what I've seen.
Personally I haven't played any of the games since emulating gba games 15 years ago

>>723432347
we kneel, kneel to the superior consoomers and their eternal victories...

>>723428315
2D Pokemon wasn't THAT good looking either, however the swap to 3D seemingly made them give up on making good games and just ship software now

>>723438569
the games which tend to be put at the top of the rating tiers are usually either heart gold/soul silver, emerald, platinum, or Black/White 2. Nothing after gen 5

>>723430127

>>723427185 (OP)
There are better looking phone games than this crap.

>>723428315
I think its delibetate because of nintendo. Nintendo always makrs poor hardware and GF has to release new pomemon games every 2 years or so that works in weak systems. If GF was to make grouns breaking games they would have to keep making them ag high quality which is probably no feasable.
GameFreak is making Beast of Reincarnation and it look good. And no Nintendo is not involved and the game is also not coming to nintendo.

>game takes place in Paris
>plot is about whether we should keep dangerous Pokémon in their containment zones or allow them to roam freely with the population

>>723438187
What are my standards "supposed to be" the design is entertaining

>>723438772
Didn't sun and moon improve drastically on the world detail and story though?

>>723438864
beast of reincarnation is going to be garbage. game freak has never made a game that was good that wasn't pokemon, and we know exactly how capable they are of making 3d games. but get your hopes up that it's just the hardware holding them back, i will really enjoy your reaction when the game comes out

>it's a reference to-

>>723438984
if you mean "the games added hours and hours of unskippable cut scenes" yeah, i guess technically

Imagine CHADmie just facefucking her trainer

>>723427185 (OP)
A humanoid starmie is a fun idea but did they really just have to stretch out the leg bones and leave it at that? He looks like he has the wrong rig with the way the whole legs don't bend like its fucking gmod or something

Drill Dozer but it's also the 20-year-old exception that proves the rule.

It actually kind of is but usually it takes seeing them in the anime with some kind of personality to do it. I used to fucking hate Meltan but then seeing it act around in the anime actually kind of made it likable.

>>723428315
it's simple. Pokemon already does amazing sales even with no effort. If pokemon somehow staggered and began to struggle with sales for even a single generation, then they actually step up the quality, which would be easy since the bar is so low. gamefreak is actually playing 4D chess.

>>723440310

>>723428315
Nintendo and Gamefreak see the Pokemon games as advertisements for merch. It’s a 20 million dollar ad to buy other shit. Pokemon games today are basically the equivalent of 80s cartoons which were toy commercials. That’s why they’re so cheap, they’re a means to the end of selling you more product not ends in of themselves

Dude even runs like a guy in a suit, it's peak comedy and some fantastic toku flavor

What sucks is discussion of these games is NEVER about the gameplay quality. It's always either porn or jerking off to sales, or bringing up console wars. The games are just terrible and even the fans don't want to talk about them.

>>723435669
>>723436602
That's the Genocide Cutter from Rugal, King of Fighters. Sakurai is a huge fan of KoF as seen in several of his videos. Falco's kick is clearly based on it.

>>723441034
>It's good because I recognize that reference!
Embarrassing

>>723441179
The shift to 3D really killed Pokemon

Although I think if it stayed on a 3DS like platform it might not have been a mistake

>>723441226
And how does that justify the exact same thing happening with the past 10+ pokemon games? The fandom does not care about the games, they just use it for console war fodder.

>>723432531

That's from the 2010s and Vanillite is ice and snow that makes itself look like ice cream. I can't believe people are still complaining about this shit.

it doesn't look forced enough to be a dude in a costume
it looks like a premade asset from the unreal store

Unironically yes, context adds flavor.

>>723432531
Skeledirge is a good design that does day of the dead fine if a bit over the top..
Ill give you your point though since it also looks much better because its also stuck with the 2 faggiest starter final evo designs ever made to coincide with it.

>>723443214
>efforts
That would imply that effort was ever given, at any point.

>>723441179
>What sucks is discussion of these games is NEVER about the gameplay quality
Because then they'd have to admit that pokemon is the best monster tamer on the market right now.

>That's the Genocide Cutter from Rugal, King of Fighters. Sakurai is a huge fan of KoF as seen in several of his videos. Falco's kick is clearly based on it
I didn't know this. Thanks for the info, anon.

The only reason why you wouldn't believe that is if you're a die hard pokefag who's never played another monster tamer before.

I know what I said. Playing more than just pokemon gives you a better perspective on the genre as a whole rather than just saying
>oh the graphics are bad so the game is bad
Meanwhile if you're a hardcore pokefag you'd only know pokemon and would eventually grow to hate it.
Why do you think the shitposters never talk about gameplay? It's because they literally have no frame of reference for comparisons.

Imagine being GameFreak. They are literally in the best position for a company to be. They can release garbage, just absolute unmitigated garbage, garbage made of repurposed old garbage which saves even more money. They release it. It sucks. But it doesn't matter. The product was so fucking cheap, so utterly minmaxxed that even if it sold "poorly" they'd still come out on top. People are so pokemon obsessed, the products don't even matter anymore. They are laughing at everyone every single release.

You think the complaints are limited to the graphics, and don't also encompass the boring casual trash that is the basic gameplay loop? How about the horribly written and drawn out boring stories in previous Pokemon games? Or the abysmal lack of anything worthwhile to find in the empty and boring worlds? The series has been trash for decades.

Needless to say once you compare them it's obvious which one comes out on top as a game.
But you're a pokefag, you'll never actually try time stranger to see if what I'm saying is even true, hell, you're likely to just go tl;dr and ignore this

The fact that you actually opened with this, like it was a good thing, immediately gives me ample cause to discard the rest of your post. Someone who legitimately thinks open world slop is good can safely be laughed at.

>explore these empty worlds with nothing in them except filler mons that you'll never use because 99% of the roster is useless

LOL

>>723428315
The creatures are no longer designed as monsters first, they are designed as merchandise first. That's why modern Pokemon looks so ass. They're more focused on designs that are easy to produce shitty figures and plushes of.

>>723427292
BASED

>>723443719
Whenever the new f2p Hoyo Pokemon clone comes out, it's probably going to be better because Hoyo has $100m+ budgets for their mobile games and it's going to make Pokemon seem low quality on top of being free. That's an actual threat and a very dangerous title, TotK sales were much lower than BotW sales because Genshin happened and there was a free alternative.

>>723428596
The best solution for Megas is to make them all actual evolutions with stat modifications. Your Charmeleon can evolve into three different Mons.

>>723445892
>immediately gives me ample cause to discard the rest of your post.
Which is just telling me that you don't quite understand this genre and this cements that fact
>explore these empty worlds with nothing in them except filler mons that you'll never use because 99% of the roster is useless
Monster tamers are partial collectathons you explore to collect the monsters and fill out the compendium for the reward. So as much as you want to kick and scream thay they're "filler", which isn't a thing unless you're hyper focusing on competitive a uniquely pokemon element proving that you people are just disgruntled pokefags, that's something to find on the map and again you have the collectables for the legendaries to find as well a a where they are.

But yeah, my point was proven. You don't talk about the gameplay because talking about the gameplay makes pokemon look vastly superior.

I literally gave up on this slop after getting rank Y. it's ugly, the battle system is awful MMO shit, it's ugly, everyone is black.

violet was better but still not good.

>>723446423
and I was emulating on citron. it's shit. SHIT.

im selling all my pokemon games for switch and never buying another pokemon game again. i'm done with this shit.

I give up. I used to like pokemon and ever since they stopped making DS games it has been dogshit.

>>723446176
I doubt it. They couldn't even figure out jumping in genshin and just completely lock your mid air movement like it's nes castlevania. Not to mention it's going to be bogged down heavily by gacha mechanics you can't really have a monster tamer gacha, they're two opposing concepts. Even pokemon dropped that aspect with their gacha.

What you need to understand is that a large budget ultimately doesn't mean anything unless they put that money to good use and looking at their other games, I doubt they know what they're doing.

By the way
>TotK sales were much lower than BotW sales because Genshin happened and there was a free alternative.
It had nothing to do with genshin. They're two completely different games.

>>723446008
They aren't even designed as merchandise first. Their merchandise partners have to be dreading making toys out of the clusterfuck that is Mega Feraligatr. What they're actually doing now is designing this shit for memes on social media. Like, their new barometer for the success of a Pokemon design is if enough Redditors say it's goofy, made them laugh, and it's growing on them.
In the end, it's all that hack Sugimori's fault for his bullshit rule that "if a Pokemon is too cool, it won't capture a player's heart," which he pulled out of his ass without any evidence to back it up but still forces all the other artists on staff to adhere to anyway. That, and also their deranged fanbase's fault for calling anythng that looks good "overdesigned/a Digimon/etc." and therefore bad. Pokemon fans actively want worse things rather than better things at every opportunity. They are batshit insane and deserve the slop they get.

This shit never fails to be funny.

oh boy, what a fun game.

>>723441179
>What sucks is discussion of these games is NEVER about the gameplay quality.
Most threads about this game have been shitting on the awful new combat system that's reminiscent of mobile trash, as well as the mindnumbing hours of handholding and tutorials, so you're either lying or oblivious.
For previous games, WTF did you expect people to talk about? The combat system had literally not changed one bit since 1996 and it was already ten years out of date back then. Any complaint you could make about it had already been made a gazillion times over.

>>723427532
Same energy

>>723433049
Oh, i get it now...

The thing is, if you removed all of the pokemon branding, this game would still be fun and still be successful.
If something can stand on it's own merits, it's not a bad game.

people should just accept like Star Wars, it will never be good again.

>>723446638
> Not to mention it's going to be bogged down heavily by gacha mechanics you can't really have a monster tamer gacha, they're two opposing concepts
Not really, you can gacha for items instead of monsters or have a cosmetic gacha. It's not an antithetical concept. It depends on how much Hoyo can steal and get away with, or what they can innovate on to improve the formula. Genshin improved on BotW's combat even if the combat does have issues and removing slipping and weapon durability were positive changes.

>It had nothing to do with genshin. They're two completely different games.
F2P alternatives have been impacting sales across the board. Gamers playing f2p games and older games they already own is a major issue with gaming right now and that's a repeat of the 2000 era PC crisis that made Epic start making Xbox 360 games instead.

Cheap games are currently winning hard and the more cheap games win, the harder the $70 games become to sell. When people can buy E33 and Silksong for the same $70 a new game costs, if that new game isn't insanely good it's going to sour consumer perspectives on buying $70 games. A game like Megabonk that's $10 is another example of a cheap hit and you have Hades 2, Peak, Schedule 1, etc all being very popular this year. Peter Moore was most likely right that the $60 game will die, although it's the $70/$80 game now.

>>723447373
No way this is real

>>723447257
>There's more to do
You build bases and do those platform raid things. There's almost nothing to do in game which is why players have been complaining about it day one. It's not even worth exploring the map
>Better variety in Pals
That doesn't mean anything, how are you defining variety? By quantity? Because there are like 180 non recolors.
>Combat has more depth (it's not amazing, but hell anything is an improvement over Gamefreak's vomit)
It's a third person shooter at its core where you don't really have any control over your monsters. It's not even really a monster tamer if I'm being honest.
>Better overworld
The map has like 4 different biomes and nothing to find in them.

>The list goes on and on
Clearly not if this is all you had.

>>723447478

>you can gacha for items instead of monsters or have a cosmetic gacha
Anon, you and I both know that's not going to happen, why do you think they haven't shown off any capturing mechanics in the trailers?
>It's not an antithetical concept
It is, the monsters are what you're selling if you roll for the monsters in a gacha then you're not going to be finding them out in the field like a monster tamer, you either have to commit to the tamer aspect or remove it for the gacha aspect.
>Genshin improved on BotW's combat
It didn't even make the attempt at having the same combat let alone improving it given Genshin plays more like DMC or Bayo than it does Zelda. In fact, the only thing that really ties them together is the glider otherwise they're completely different games.

>F2P alternatives have been impacting sales across the board.
There's no real evidence of this actually occurring anywhere.
More often than not F2P games are carried by a small amount of players whaling on it constantly bloating download statistics by reinstalling the game over and over to reroll their units.
Also you're not taking into account the amount of f2p games that fail and are shut down.

>Cheap games are currently winning hard and the more cheap games win, the harder the $70 games become to sell.
You're going on a complete tangent now, this has nothing to do with monster tamers or genshin or anything we've talked about. Also unless you're comparing them to western AAA games games like Silksong and E33 will always come up short compared to full priced games in length and mechanics. They're not really designed to push the bar or be new ventures, they're just there to be more of the same which is why they can be produced on the cheap.

>>723448127

>Why would they care about the quality of the games?

Nintendo is very protective of their image of being trustworthy with your money where you can pre-order and know you're getting a game that's exactly what the advertising says and is polished experience from day 0. Now contrast that with how every recent Pokemon game has turned out and the fact that most people don't understand that Pokemon technically isn't a Nintendo product.

>>723447765
Some moves and abilities have varied use depending on if you're using a different gendered pokemon than your opponent but I don't think any of those are in this game. Typically it's mostly just for seeing what gender it is before you catch it, either for if you're trying to get something like Gallade which can only be evolved from a male Ralts, or if you're autistic and want something like a female Lopunny/Froslass

If Nintendo really wanted the games to improve, they wouldn't be trying to sue and patent troll any potential competition out of existence. They also wouldn't demand a new mainline Pokemon game from Game Freak every other year.
Nintendo is equally as culpable as Game Freak for the decline of this series, but of course, none of you are willing to admit that because then your "team" will lose face in your imaginary console wars on the internet.

Yeah none of that ever happened. Are you okay or is this some kind of schizophrenic episode?

>>723450763
They clearly see it as a threat and are doing everything in their power to shut it down even if their patents hurt the rest of the gaming industry. Nintendo used to innovate and compete, but now they’re just a law firm that makes shovelware games on the side.

>They clearly see it as a threat
Had they saw it as a threat they would have been paying attention to it when it was revealed and sued them the moment those mechanics were shown in a trailer. Instead they didn't.
They just let it exist and run it's course until Palworld fans brought their attention to it because they were confident that there was no actual plagiarism going on which backfired on them.

FOR WHAT PURPOSE

>>723451446
The lawsuit has nothing to do plagiarism. They’re suing them over game mechanics that they themselves didn’t create. Both Dragon Quest and Megami Tensei predate Pokemon which basically copied their designs and gameplay mechanics.

That's what he implied. Nintendo was somehow aware of Palworld, but never took action until the fans annoyed them on twitter or something. It's as retarded as people blaming Nintendo's crackdown on piracy on people flaunting it, as if Nintendo doesn't salivate at the chance to take down all rom sites.

>>723451772
>it seems like an extra grindy collect them all jrpg for the more advanced weeb
I wouldn't say "advanced" since it's arguably a mechanically simpler pokemon game with the FE weapon triangle. It's just kind of restrictive when you want to use mon you want.

Nintendo could price their games $160 and tendies will still buy them

>>723427185 (OP)
Does the vast majority of the game take place in the city? It looks so fucking drab.

>>723451906

>>723451896
>That's what he implied
No, that's on you.
He's saying they didn't care about Palworld and didn't see the infringing mechanics until it was publicly brought to their attention.
You're saying they saw the mechanics, did nothing and just waited until it became successful.

I'll ask again, are you retarded?

>>723451924
>its comparable to a somewhat simpler SMT
There's nothing remotely similar to SMT other than it being a turn based monster tamer.

>>723451982
>He's saying they didn't care about Palworld and didn't see the infringing mechanics
So Nintendo, one of the most litigious and strict companies on the planet, a company that would burn down an orphanage if it had an unauthorized painting of Mario on the side, just magically didn't notice their supposed stolen patents in a new game. And they would've NEVER seen this if the fans didn't bring it to their attention. A magic forcefield would've permanently blocked Palworld from their view, if not for the fans bringing it up to them.

Very interedasting.

>>723451896
>but never took action until the fans annoyed them on twitter

>>723439324
It feels like more of a regional form honestly, Mega forms are supposed to be expressions of temporary POWER.

Like, staryu and starmie have always had some space-ish origins but I fell this 'supplant humanity' angle is a strange way to express Power

If this thing showed up as a Hoenn-ian Starmie I'd get it. Hoenn has a bunch of space and meteor shit going on. Maybe regional starmie have had longer to concoct this humanoid form/communication thing than other starmie.

As for a Mega starmie, a lot of its dex entries mention its core, its core, as long as it core is fine starmie is fine. They should have focused on that.

https://www.gamesindustry.biz/two-joy-con-lawsuits-against-nintendo-are-dismissed

Nintendo actually uses lawfare to intimidate people who are angry over their joycons drifting, using loopholes and technicalities to avoid paying out. They have to be threatened to offer a free repair service.

I could bring up their autistic hate of fan works or mods like Project+, but I wanted to focus on the really douchebag notions.

Nothing causes /v/ more seethe than being proven wrong, which is why you are still seething that RDR2 sold well and that Metal Gear Survive flopped hard.

What's the most hilarious part about /v/'s seethe is that it proves time and again that /v/ is full of adults who actually, unironically want to play goddamn Pokemon, the Hello Kitty of videogames.
Why is the videogame industry so harshly affected by the manchild menace?
Every other industry like literature, cinema or music doesnt have people engaging in stuff that's clearly for toddlers.
Meanwhile videogames have adults playing Pokemon, Palworld, Mario Bros or Animal Crossing.

>But you said they were never scummy at any point
No one made this claim and that quote you just so happened to grab proves that. Even then your examples were still retaliatory.

>Demanding most of the money from streamers who so much as use even a few seconds of Nintendo music in their videos.
Your link says 30-40%, which is the standard for partnered tubers. Now I'm just a humble native English speaker but I don't think the definition of "most" is "the smallest percentage".
Also no recorded litigation ever happened regarding the partner program.

>Nintendo actually uses lawfare to intimidate people who are angry over their joycons drifting,
Yes, Nintendo used lawfare to sue people and not the plaintiffs who sued Nintendo.
>using loopholes and technicalities to avoid paying out.
Did you even read your link? In the case or the parents suing Nintendo it was the parents trying to use a loophole to get a payout by trying to pass their child off as the owner of the system to bypass the agreements.
Even if it was exactly what you said it would have still been retaliatory since it wasn't Nintendo suing them but the other way around
>They have to be threatened to offer a free repair service.
Yep, they were totally threaten when they opened up free repairs before they were even sued. That which study thing happened like two years after they had already started doing it.

In all seriousness, even with the ball in your court you couldn't find a single example.

>>723431721

>Did you even read your link? In the case or the parents suing Nintendo it was the parents trying to use a loophole to get a payout by trying to pass their child off as the owner of the system to bypass the agreements.
And Nintendo was refusing to take responsibility for their shitty joycons breaking. If you advertise your console as a children's console, then it doesn't matter what name its under. The damn joycons shouldn't have broken in the first place, and Nintendo shouldn't have fought against it. They could've just simply accepted that their hardware was absolute shite.

>Yep, they were totally threaten when they opened up free repairs before they were even sued.
Again, because of pressure. They refused to do it until the damn thing became too much to ignore.

you're defending them willingly selling broken products, and then only offering free repairs after threats. Pathetic.

>>723456280
??? I dont think those are the same at all.

Gacha shit is lazy too dont get me wrong, but for entirely different reasons, though i cant say much as i've only played one to see what the deal was (fgo for like 1 year or so since i like fsn), but gatcha products dont lack polish at all, as they live and die by the pulling of retards with shinny shit like cute girls or fanservice, sometimes both at the same time, they are also not buggy as letting bugs come coul possibly fuck up with their gatcha system, which would be disastrous to them, and lastly the success is not guaranteed at all, tons of gatcha shit dies every year as while the content they create is minimum, server costs a lot, making many barely profitable.

Pokemon is the exact opposite, everything they make is low effort and low cost as well but theirs differ in that is low quality, stupidly so. But thanks to the pkmn brand(or maybe battle system, some spin-offs did underperform after all), it never fails, its always a guaranteed success unlike gatcha that can and constantly fails because of fuck ups like fujo pandering or weaker designs or whatever.

Gatcha shit main problem is being excessively predatory and basic gameplay wise, pokemon issue is being incredibly shit but not failing despite of that so it keeps lowering quality with each entry, completely different problems. Though i do guess pokemon is also somewhat predatory with pkmn home and now overpriced dlc which was in the past 3rd versions.

>They were also taking a majority of ad revenue.
Anon, that 30-40% Is ad revenue.

>And Nintendo was refusing to take responsibility for their shitty joycons breaking.
Anon, Nintendo took responsibility for it well before they were sued. In fact they acknowledged it in a 2018 and contrary to what you believe, they started offering free repairs without being pressured with lawsuits.
>then it doesn't matter what name its under.
Of course it does. That's why the panel didn't side with the parents trying to loophole an argument with their kids.
>They refused to do it until the damn thing became too much to ignore.
They didn't refuse anything. They were acknowledging it the moment they were getting reports. The only reason people think Nintendo ignored the problem was because of that animation by that washed up newgrounds pony animator guy. Which he put out a year after Furukawa apologised for the drifting and that itself was a year after the free repairs.

It's not about defending Nintendo, it's about getting information correct.
Obsessing over a company to the point where you lose sight of that is utterly pathetic.

>>723456176
>They were also taking a majority of ad revenue.
Why lie about that?
>Approved channels — which may include non-Nintendo videos — will receive 70 percent of the ad money their videos create, while individually approved videos will net their creators 60 percent of the dough.
That's not saying Nintendo gets 60/70% of the ad revenue, it's saying that the CREATOR gets 60/70% meaning Nintendo gets 30/40%.
This article words it in a weird way but there's no way you can read it as Nintendo getting the majority.

>>723457658
Yeah, and they are retarded or gamba addicts, i didnt spend a single dime while i was playing fgo and was able to "enjoy" the free experience just fine. Dont see how players being retarded has to do with the original point though? The exploitation? I dont disagree that both gatcha and GF staff are both amoral demons in the way they treat their fans with the products they put out, but my point was about professional passion, and while its predatory and evil, gatcha games dont feel passionless at all, the effort in the cute girls or fansevice (and by this i mean obscure pulls in smaller IPs that have gatchas like og demon designs for SMT as an example) is extraordinary.

You cant look me straight in the eye and tell there was any love for the craft put into any of these modern pokemon games.

>>723458709
Well that all goes back to 1996 when a little game called Pokemon Red and green released in Japan.
It had an odd monster named Jynx who was very, very humanlike.
