Is pokemon nothing more than a dress up game now?

wait there's a new pokemon game?

>>723549916 (OP)
>Is pokemon nothing
Took you this long!?

>>723549916 (OP)
Well and the gameplay but this is /v/ - visuals and graphics

>>723549916 (OP)
That's a boy

Whoa wait I wanna be that dirty guy

>>723550008
I wanna criticize you for acting like you didn't know, but there's genuinely a lot of anons here who are that deep under a rock about a lot of things. lol

>>723549916 (OP)
Whore

>>723550094
>and the gameplay
oh yes, the gameplay

I fucking wish we had this level of customization for scarlet and violet

>>723549916 (OP)
What's with anons dressing girls like slut and posting them here? What's your end goal?

>>723550330
Yep.
Gameplay.
The second battle in the game in fact aka the point where every rpg is just using the attack buttons because you have a limited set of moves.

Is that how far you got before you realised it was to hard for you to comprehend?

Oh cool, another thread for /vp/ niggers to embarrass themselves in

>>723550758
ok, here's the post game legendary battle gameplay

>>723550330
Does moving the MC do anything?

>>723550869
I wonder why your webm doesn't include the start of the battle
>>723550834
Funny isn't it.

>>723550216
>acting like you didn't know
why would i pretend not to know that? i genuinely had no idea

i haven't kept up with pokemon news in ages i'm still playing emerald on my emulator, don't much care for the newer ones

>>723549916 (OP)
fuck skorts

>>723550930
>shitmon uses Toxic!
epic

>>723550918
your pokemon follows you so you can make it dodge almost any move

>>723550918
if you get hit too many times against wild pokemon and mega bosses you go KO, but point is, you need to have the reflex of a granny to get hit by one pokemon.

>>723549916 (OP)
Sex with trainers

>>723549916 (OP)
I just wish there were other options aside from cross dressing twink. I want to play as an ugly bastard violating pokegirls.

>>723549916 (OP)
Can we give our trainers the same ass as Emma?

>>723551046
So unlike other RPGs where status effects are useless they have a use in pokemon?
Hmm...

>>723551252
The fact you can't even dress like Serena...

The character customization sucks, too. There are barely any options and you only unlock 1 store throughout the entire story.

Why did they hide all the cuties from the trailers

>>723550330
Why do people keep posting this like it's some kind of smoking gun?! It's literally the second battle in the entire game when the game is still explaining mechanics and what buttons do. Like of course it's going to be piss easy and braindead

>>723551843
It never gets more complex than this.

>>723550918
If you get too close to the Pokemon he'll attack you, and throwing a pokeball at the back of a mon has higher odds of catching it.

>>723551703
What the hell are you talking about, there's three different venues with like 10 stores each, and each one has different clothes.

>>723549916 (OP)
>>723551252
It bothers me to no end that there isn't a single form of facial hair in this or any of the previous pokemon games. There's no way I can make a character look like me.

>>723552669
Each store only offers a couple of ugly options, sometimes repeated options. None of the stores offer the full range of customization, either. There are several ones that only sell glasses or socks. Plus, the color options suck. Lots of clothes only have 2 or 3 colors to choose from.

>>723551891
Except when it does.

where's gabi-chan?

>>723552902
So basically the customization options are fantastic but because you can't make your character look like some shitheel from the boonies you're mad about it.

>>723552991
When is that? Because I finished the game and it's the same shit from beginning to end.

holy SEX

>>723553046
>the customization options are fantastic
They're really not. There is one t-shirt in the entire game, and it's the default one. No options for it at all, either.

When yo8 start playing the game obviously.

lmao
There's like 20 tops, and half of them are frilly shit for fags. That's generously including the 4 identical jackets with a different undershirt or little squiggle on the back. The customization is a joke.

>>723553016
>>723553085
:)
>>723553440

I am liking the game, the gameplay loop is quite fun. That said, I only paid 12 bucks for it. I dont think this is a 70+$ game and especially not considering it's from one of the most popular franchises on earth

This shit should be removed, only thing it does is attract trannies.
If it was up to me I'd go back to Gen 1 where you could only play as a dude and the only customizable aspect was the name.

>>723550138
Out of 10!!

>>723553423
I started the game last Sunday, and already finished it. The only time the combat comes anywhere close to being deep is during the final boss when you can cheese it by using special moves and withdrawing your Pokemon during the beam attack.

>>723549916 (OP)
Me with my girlfriend(boy)

>>723553423
Why are you arguing with him? He's right. This game is a piece of shit.

Just play Digimon

>>723550918
If you're not targeting then your Pokemon will follow you, so you can dodge a lot of attacks that way. It's a little clunky but it works

>>723554084
Or buy a game that actually looks like it had some effort put into it and doesnt have a billion DLCs, like RDR2.

>>723553415
I had a beard since I was 14

>>723553046
>So basically the customization options are fantastic
The game stayed true to XY where the customization is good if you're a girl or a crossdresser but trash if you want to be a man. The only male options are dorky looking t-shirts, sweaters and jackets. The only pants are skinny jeans and shorts

>>723554084
>Just play Digimon
When they make a good game

>>723554309
>customization is good if you're a girl or a crossdresser
Until you realize there's only 1 skirt in the entire game.

>>723554496
You people are really struggling for negatives huh.

>>723550330
>Posted it again award.
Are you the same guy that was posting the same Donkey Kong Bananza clip every day of the one instance of slowdown, which was the first Void Kong fight?

Why does she looks like... em trying to catch em all, if you know what I mean

>>723554578
You know they are

It's not a struggle when they're around every corner.

>>723555762
Did you use AI to make this post?
Because nothing makes sense here.

all I'm getting at is /v/ just hates gamefreak because they don't want to pour a billion dollars and several years of dev time into making pokemon look like a ps5 exclusive. and they're smart for not doing that because muh graffix is a rat race that has done western aaa no favors. doesn't matter if the game is fun, it's just an object of unhealthy fixation at the moment.

>>723556209
I hate Game Freak because they've been constantly cutting corners and offering nothing in return.

>>723556209
nah I hate them because they don't make exceptional games, the visuals are a secondary complaint and still pathetic regardless of how fanboys fashion it

>>723556364
And yet their games are better than the competition and not nearly as Jewish.

"Gameplay is the only thing that matters!"

>>723554597
The Z-A royale isn't the best source for money when you're bad at pokemon battle, some trainers prefer to spend their nights in other type of "battles"

>>723556209
They're not just 1 generation behind. Not just 2 generations behind. They're THREE generations behind.
Looking like a PS3 game would be a step up from what they're producing now. And it's not as if we're asking for anything difficult. Just give a little bit of geometry to windows and balconies. Is that really so hard?

Earlier, I saw a player following a character. And the character would run in a straight line, then stop, pivot turn, then run in a straight line again. That's right. The pathing mechanic is so bad, that NPCs can't turn around corners without moving like a tank. This is super basic shit that we as a society figured out back in the Nintendo 64 days.

So... what's the lore reason why a whole city has wild pokemons just roaming around freely like that? I can understand if these pokemons are either docile or friendly... but I saw a few clips (yes, I haven't bought it yet) of them just running towards you all aggressive and all.

Not to mention the whole idea that few of the 'wild areas' for Z-A are pretty much your typical local parks, so it kinda boggles me that the 'humans' of this large city would let these wild pokemon roam freely like that.

>>723556559
You have condemned literally every turn based RPG
good job.

Do the male and female characters actually have differences or does wearing boy or girl clothes just have a singular model?

>>723557565
It's the plot of the game. A big corporation has introduced the wild areas as an attempt to better integrate Pokemon in the city and residents are split on if this can work out long term.

>>723550330

>>723549916 (OP)
so far I haven't heard anyone say anything nice about anything else. I wonder if the dress up gameplay is good enough for the game to be worth buying

>>723558772
If like to know this too, because from the customization options I've seen you can pick a girl but give them boy features so that might be why we have peiole dressing "boys" in skirts.

>>723559112
If you post enough it goes back to 60 and you don't have to do a captcha. It was also worse before with a 360 timer.

>>723549916 (OP)
Reminder that Palworld is going to die for this.

>>723559374
Fair trade.

>>723558772
>>723559287
they have different body models. The girls have breasts and the guys are notably broader. You can tell its a trap by their flat chest

>>723558772
>>723559287
Girls have tits, bit wider hips and bit narrower shoulders

>>723560578
>>723560651
Weird that they even bothered to make two versions.

Can I put my character in Taunie's booty shorts?

I dont get it, is combat real time now?

>>723560812
There's shorts, but not sure if these are the same as Taunie's.

>>723560854
>combat real time now?
basically, there are cooldowns on your attacks. Positioning matters now and you can straight up dodge moves. Long range attacks will attack from across the field if you can get hem off

You can use Protect/Detect to parry moves with good timing

>>723560651
>>723560902
She's asking for it, built for white cock

>>723560854
Yeah, attacks (and item usage) all have a few secs cooldown so you are encouaged to use all four constantly, but you can also cheese fights, like pulling your mon back to the pokeball to avoid getting hit.
Though with no Pokemon they will target you instead

>>723560812
You can get the shorts but you can't show tummy with a jacket like she can.

>>723560812
Her model has better thighs/butt than the female MC despite having the same head.

>>723550869
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

>>723561187
You can.

>>723560993
Why do people keepp saying this...

What new cool Pokemons did they add?

>>723561496
No new mons, just megas.

>>723561496
lol
lmao

>>723561434
>No navel for some reason
>Shorts are baggier and less filled out
No fun.

>>723561496
Megas instead of variant evos like Ursaluna.

Not big Pokemon fan. Why did they stop making titles which merge 2 games until Z?

>>723561679
They stopped making third versions after Gen 4 because consumers got smart and waited for it. Gen 5 did sequels. Gen 7 did TWO upgrade/quasi sequels. Gen 8 and 9 did DLC.

The Legends games are self contained, smaller games that aren't as beholden to the formula. So this isn't Z to X and Y, it's a sequel to X and Y.

>>723561848
>it's a sequel to X and Y.
It explains why the game looks so different (playing X on 3DS right now)

>>723561679
This isnt Pokemon Z, its more like XY2.

Rwading cope on /v/ is more entertaining than the game itself.

>>723553514
cute gabi but I preferred the egyptian-adjacent himecut

>>723561434
What is she thinking about? How to attract more white cocks? Imagine cumming on that midriff

>>723561974
more like a spin-off of XY
XY2 would have been something like BW2, but it isn't

>>723551843
I watched some gameplay yesterday, the game is literally that, not only it's braindead, it's just pathetic.

>>723562118
It's not in but true

>>723562118
There's no himecuts in this one, and I wanted to give her something different. Played around with colored tips but none convinced me

sex with vinnie

i think the customization sucks because they keep sticking to this unisex meme instead of having properly sectioned boy/girl options.

>>723563041
See
>>723560651

>>723550869
Not going to lie, that's a cool "walk" cycle for Yveltal instead of having it float from place to place. Really gives it that uncanny primordial beast in the vague form of a bird as opposed to just giant bird. There's still a small spark of creativity in Game Freak's cold, corporate heart but that only makes me sadder at the state of this franchise.

>>723563279
How you feel has no effect on sales. That’s why they’ll never listen or care
Not saying you’re wrong, but you shouldn’t care, because they don’t care about you

>>723562662
Tips should be whites with all the white cum you drink

>>723563514
I thought that too, would have been funny but doesnt look too good with that skin color.
And then theres this variant but dunno what to think of it.

>>723563930
>>723562662
good god, what is this hair?

I’m having fun

>>723564056
undershirt makes you look fat

Should I play this game? You know, for the gameplay and the plot?

>>723564024
I guess an attempt to introduce dual hair colors, but the way it looks varies from one hairstyle to another.
Its why I just went for black hair.

So all electric gym leaders from now on are just gonna be vtubers / ecelebs after Iono was so popular I guess lmao

>>723564478
Canari feels like traits they wanted to give to Iono but didnt have time to give her enough protagonism to show them.

>>723549916 (OP)
>Complains about Pokemon
>Plays as a woman, or a man dressed up as a woman
Why is it always like this?

>>723564478
You know iono wasn't the first streamer pokemon character, right?

I watched some gameplay and this is literally the worst pokemon game I have ever seen. The graphics are from 2005, the combat is just braindead attack smashing, the world is just one city, npcs barely move and you can't even jump

>>723549916 (OP)
How are the miniskirts?

I love lida as my girlfriend and she has boing boing

this game is just diet xenoblade 2

>>723564723
Celebrities have existed in pokemon pre iono, but usually just models musicians and sports stars
Iono is the first blatant streamer / vtuber type character, and it's curious that the "totally not an electric gym" leader in the immediate game following her game is also a streamer/eceleb

>>723564881
she told me she's not very impressed with your dick

>They're THREE generations behind
so they're stuck back in the era when games were still good? fantastic!

>>723550758
>>723550094
So uh, are you going to post an example of good gameplay or just claim that it exists?

>>723566489
the neat thing about gameplay, you have to actually play it to understand what's good about it. webms just show you graphics again.

Is gamefreak doing the bare minimum they can because they hate making pokemon games or something?

>>723566889
Yes, that's been a known fact since Dexit was announced. ironically though Legends games are what you get when game freak actually tries.

>>723566102
Horseshit considering how hard /v/'s been seething about it

>>723550330
Wow this looks like dogshit.

>>723566889
If they were doing bare minimum this would play like Sword and Shield.

>>723549916 (OP)
What customization? all the OC I have seen generally have the same components.

>>723566889
Nah, they're doing the bare minimum they can do because everyone else is so much worse.
Case in point, dexit. Even after dexit they still had more monsters in a game than every other monster tamer on the market.
Then their dlc practices are better, for SS and SV they had two full expansions each and doubled the monster count.
SMT VV had like 3 dlc demons which shouldn't have been dlc anyway since that was a release of a game that already had 5? dlc demons anyway.
Then then you have time stranger which has like a 30 buck season pass with only 15 new mon. And let's not forget the preorder dlc that they sold separately if you miss it.

If you were in their shoes and the competition was fucking up like this would you try?

And then it left.

>>723568095
As evidenced by the gameplay webm you posted? oh wait that's just a gif from a character action game (the absolute worst genre for interesting gameplay webms).

>>723566626
If you have over 90 IQ you can figure out if the gameplay is good by watching it

>>723567973
Half the fun of monster tamers is collecting you know

>>723564289
I hate that this is the only top with midriff and that you can't take the jacket off
But I guess you take what you can get, I'm surprised they had any tops with midriff in the game at all

>>723567807
>no one notices

I went to several clothes shops in the game and holy shit, there's only girl clothes, am I supposed to troon out my character or what?
Why even pick a male character?

its just another shitty pokemon game fatasses will buy
move on
it will sell
and the gaming industry will suffer for it
you cant stop these retards buying shit games

>>723568265
Dwarf fortress has fun gameplay but no webm will ever make it look good. the actual good parts of gameplay can't really be shown in a webm since the interactivity is key to making them good. you'll start to realize that once your IQ passes 95.

>>723568187
>sold so well nintendo had to go after them with bogus patents
>implying it matters if there are 100 or 500 monsters
It's simply a better pokemon game than any pokemon game released in the last 10 years

>>723568439
It was the same in gen 6/7 but the clothes were gender locked, meaning guy characters couldn't buy anything even the somewhat genderless clothing options that were assigned to female trainers only.
Their "solution" to this in gen 9 was to just make all the clothing ugly and totally genderless. Going back to the gen 6/7/8 variety while just not sex locking it is way better
But yes if you want to customize your character without playing a femboy then you should just play a female trainer

>>723568643
When your IQ is above 100 you can figure out what the dwarf fortress gameplay is like from a video

>>723564614
Iono not being an avatar with a nerdy glasses girl at a PC behind a curtain in the back of the gym was such a missed opportunity.

>>723568938
Could have had a doujin of her model on stream glitching out while the real Iono is getting railed and lying to her audience about being a virgin smdh

what fans? Adults in early 2010s mostly getting over their nostalgia in this series after gen 2 remakes and gen 5. What kids post fortnite/roblox are caring about pokemon? What japanese/asians are going to be into pokemon these days they're mostly in gacha. Halo has its own dedicated aging group of masochists tf does pokemon have for dedicated fans?

>>723568343
It's still embarrassing when the original game it's based off of had outfits like these

At least Halo Infinite was an attempt to be good again, Pokemon? If they could stick to a concept and improve on it instead of making low budget games every now and then they could at least attain some of their shine

He not only can't afford the game but hasn't played it. He doesn't get paid to play it, just to say he does and why you should.

Unless he does it for free of course

>>723568283
collecting = 1 fun aspect. not 735 fun aspects

>>723571454
>he only catches one monster and stops

>>723549916 (OP)
The customization is fucking terrible and barebones.

>>723568283
It's not fun when the collecting is brain dead easy

>>723571995
No its not, SV and PLA are the ones that had barebones customization

>>723572032
And what game exactly are you comparing it to?

Weird post, OP considering how much you bitched about scarlet/violet lack of said customisation

>>723568225
>(the absolute worst genre for interesting gameplay webms).
Don't agree, the only difference between exciting high level Pokemon gameplay and a toddler mashing A is which particle effects the move's generic animation are surrounded by, and of course the delay for having an opponent selecting moves too.

>>723572146
All 3 have bad customization.

>>723572183
Literally every game with a collection aspect to it. All you have to do is spam all your attacks on cooldown to kill the pokemon and then throw a pokeball at it. No way of failing

I... he... he's LITERALLY me.... thank you Nintendo....

>all you have to do is kill the pokemon and then...
>hey where did it go?

>>723572580
Stop abusing your pokemon you sick fuck

>>723572805
You can throw pokeballs at them once they are at 0 hp to catch them

>>723570591
It's also annoying because Canari's got probably the most revealing top in a pokemon game and the player can't buy something similar for no apparent reason

>>723572474
>All you have to do is spam all your attacks on cooldown to kill the pokemon and then throw a pokeball at it
Pretty sure the only game you can do that in is ZA you fucking moron.

>>723572805
>This nigga didn't play the game

>>723573668
Their shitposting docket doesn't have information about anything other than "current thing".

>can no longer customize throwing style for the start of a pokemon battle
>no mega stone accessories or customizable animations
Always 1 step forward half a step back and 20 missed opportunities with this company

>>723549916 (OP)
is that a female (male) ?

>>723550869
so this is the power of shitch2...

>>723572389
and yet that's still more interesting then "watch me juggle this target dummy for minutes at a time" the genre.

>>723554756
>comparing a ps5 game to a switch one

>>723573632
you'd think they'd have Canari cosplay goods for sale somewhere, as well as the Canari fan shirt.
as usually the omissions in pokemon games are downright bizarre. Like it can't just be laziness, game freak is legitimately too stupid to see obvious easy things.

Reminder that there are no skirts, only ugly skorts.

her chest tells me "no"

>>723553514
I never see her with old fat men. This is discrimination.
