Kek. Wouldn't want to waste Game Freak's valuable time that could be spent applying low-res textures to flat walls so we gotta outsource. I really wanna see what the inside of Game Freak looks like. What are these people doing all day?

The people complaining about Pokemon ZA are literally Blue from the first game, while the people enjoying it are like Red.

Most of the complainers only play pokemon for the battle system, and grinding, and don't understand that the appeal of Pokemon is actually meant to be a more relaxing and story driven experience where you enjoy the experience of bonding with pokemon, interacting with the NPC's, and growing together.

You guys have never understood the point of Pokemon.

Nah. They just never played the games.

why does this shit always devolve into console war faggotry? modern nintendo is literally only known for its anti-consumer, anti-competition practices, all while shitting out uninspired, low effort garbage like pokemon sv and now za. why would anyone, even exlcuding sonyfags (who are wokeslop movie-game goycattle), not have a reason to shit on nintendo?

How did fucking bamco of all companies make a more soulfull game

arceuus was partially interesting due to the setting. huh, a pokemon game set in the past, that's different! but everything i've seen of z-a just looks visually exactly like sword/shield and scarlet/violet, just with a different battle system? lame. it needed to feel less like a mainline pokemon game

Arceus is the only thing that has looked like Pokemon in like 15 years, but it felt heavily under cooked from being pokemon + a spin off, still, it was more of a game than this one and way more appealing too. I don't know why they keep insisting on modern city slop to the point of having a game entirely on one, disgusting.

IT'S ONLY BAD WHEN NINTENDO DOES IT

>>723705073
Releasing bad games will have this effect, people are less likely to buy future ones if they buy one and it's bad. S/V got people back into it with the promise of the open world but when even that was a bad game, sales of the next games are going to drop.

All the ragebait/clickbait just helps Nintendo in the end, everyone cares about it because it's viral and selling out. Back when Wii U was a thing nobody cared. Switch 2 was a hit right off the bat

Due to Nintendo's dogshit marketing at that time, a lot of normalfags didn't even know the Wii U existed or if they did they thought it was some strange expensive controller add on. Meanwhile with the Switch 2 being constant fodder for C-list YouTubers and articles, everybody knows what it is without Nintendo having to lift a finger.

>>723705016 (OP)

Not really? Nearly every content creator is hating on this game, even Nintendo ones. The only ones that aren't are the ones whose livelihood depends on Pokemon. That does in fact impact sales in a negative way, you can see it now on social media where everyone is making fun of Pokemon and the people playing it.

Maybe you guys are too young to remember but this is what happened with gen 3 as well, it was no longer cool to like Pokemon and normalfags are heavily susceptible to buying what everyone else thinks is cool. Xbox has been uncool for years, that's why normalfags stopped buying it.

Yarly.

So something common among positive reviews of the game is the phrase "by modern Pokemon standards" or " Great for a pokemon game"
Is it just me or does this way of reviewing a game seems inherently flawed? Like why is Pokemon being treated as its own separate existence where the standards for ratings are dependent on previous titles rather than the general standards that exist today for good games.

>>723710538
Because the worst Pokémon game is still better than your average modern game.

>>723710538
Pokemon is weird because it's the only great monster collecting game so it only has itself to compare to.

>>723710607
Are you forgeting someone???

I dont want them to worry about palworld any more than they already are.
I love that game and don't want nintendo fucking it over more.

>>723710538
Journalists need to use kids gloves with certain games because of access journalism, where companies like Sony and Nintendo blacklist journalists if they're too harsh on their major releases. You saw this with Starfield too, journalists gave it insane scores because if they didn't, they'd be blacklisted from getting games like FO5 and TES6 early.

That's where the Sony and Nintendo bonuses come from, they're an actual thing. It's also happening with previews too, which is how you have games like Veilguard review so well. Anyone negative about Veilguard at the previews weren't given review codes for the final product. You'll see day 1 reviews be a lot higher for a lot of games now because of this and they drop over time.

>>723710606

>>723710607
>Pokemon is weird because it's the only great monster collecting game so it only has itself to compare to.
Well monster collecting is certainly not a common genre of games but even then you'd still need to judge it fairly on aspects that aren't inherent to the monster collecting genre.
For instance if the game has bad sound Design you can't say well it's better than previous games in the franchise, you should judge it by the modern standards for good sound design in general.
Aspects like story, character Models, graphics , side quests, voice acting or lack of it , art direction shouldn't be graded in the realm of Pokemon games only

No way graphics will be better before gen 10 which any pro critic would obviously understand, this is still a switch 1 game.
Like anyone who would look at like RDR2 and compare it to Pokemon are literally retarded, all Pokemon needs to do is look better and make sure they keep up with the general graphics standards in terms of TVs which they've done overall considering.

I quite like Palworld but I do wish it had some form of evolution mechanic to get a visual sense of progression with Pals. Unfortunately that'd just result in Jewtendo throwing a bigger hissy fit even though most notable monster tamer games have a mechanic like that.

It's due to the global recession brought on by tariffs and trade wars. Anything else is cope.

Holy shit you're actually defending the idea of an employee speaking publicly in defense of pedophiles while working for a company that wants to appear family-friendly. Sony immediately removed and disavowed the pedo in their ranks. Nintendo took a year to do so, didn't disavow her, and simply went silent when Pedogate broke out for Smash Bros tourneys.

The trend in games being bought less started before that though. Gamers are sticking with live service games they already bought and new f2p games instead of buying new full priced games, this is commonly referred to as "snoys are not buying games on ps5 lmao" in the Nintendo community but it's an industry wide issue that's impacting everything. The games that are doing very well these days are mostly sub $60. Something like GTA 6 will sell well but the people buying it are going to play GTA Online 2 for 8 years without buying many other new games unless they can grab them for cheap on a whim.

Have you never played an MMO? Or even something based on an MMO like Xenoblade? It's cooldown based combat, you wait for your skills to recharge and I'm underselling how half baked the ZA implementation is because World of Warcraft in 2004 had much more complex gameplay. ZA is like playing something like Battlerite which was already a watered down WoW arena.

>>723711971

I really wanna see what the inside of Game Freak looks like.
According to a Glassdoor-like website for Japanese companies, it's hell. The team is small, but people from different divisions don't really communicate with each other. There is little to no innovation, and this leads to a lot of frustration, especially among younger employees. One reviews say it's like being a hamster on a wheel, doing the same thing over and over again without ever seeing the end.

So is he covering this game a lot because he was the number one palworld shill? Because I don’t think he covered scarlet and violet once and probably doesn’t even know Pokemon outside of the original 151.

>>723715907
The leak showed that GameFreak was looking to take from Xenoblade and Xenoblade itself copied FFXI. So yes, the MMO influence is clearly there.

>>723716093
They used a mockup of the mech from X fighting a Dynamax Pokemon to demonstrate the scale they want not as a demonstration of the gameplay they’re trying to recreate. ZA isn’t tab target unless you use a super loose definition where Digimon world is also tab target

>>723716412

Even MMOs that aren't tab target have similar cooldown based gameplay. Something like FF16 has the same cooldown cycling loop for combat as does Xenoblade and those are not tab target games nor MMOs even though their combat is based on MMO combat.

Xenoblade itself was clearly a source of inspiration for the combat as well however. They didn't randomly end up with a similar(albeit much more basic) combat loop. What we did see in the leaks was that ZA actually had a CtF mode like Warsong Gulch initially. Which probably doesn't mean much when a lot of genres use CtF for multiplayer but I think it's fun to note. It's actually sad because a CtF PvP mode could have been pretty cool.

And if you called FF 16 “MMO combat” because it has cooldowns I would also call you a fucking retard just the same. “MMO combat” is not defined by cooldowns, people who are not autists with an axe to grind call it “tab target combat”

>>723705016 (OP)

they could have 500k sales and still make profits since the games are very cheap to make (if that "leaked" 13M budget is true) so why even care

>>723717368
uh oh

grumpy dumpies

>>723717193
All your damage in FF16 comes from the cooldowns. The ideal way to play it is to rarely ever use the DMC combat once you have all your summons unlocked because the normal attacks do shit damage, you want to spend 99% of your time cycling cooldowns in a set rotation. Using cooldown abilities in the correct rotation the quintessential MMO combat loop.

>>723717474
the only one who would be mad is shitch poopoooo fags because their game is selling worse than before and flopping

>>723717351
It still looks bad on their shareholder report if a game sells significantly less than its predecessor. Look how SE panicked when Rebirth sold less than remake.

He was just melting down in his bananza webm thread as well. How long until we get to throars and yhtoats already?

>>723717553
melty

Some of you guys are stupid as shit

>>723717518
It does not matter, tab target combat is defined by TAB TARGET not fucking cooldowns

>>723717587
I think he reserves those for the Famitsu threads.
I think the melties are scripted though, meaning he types "YHTOAT" with a blank expression.

Guild Wars 2 is still an MMO, anon. You don't have to have tab target combat to be an MMO. Do you know what GW2 does have? Cooldowns and rotations.

Everyone lost.

>>723718293
Does Guild Wars 2 have tab target combat?

>>723705016 (OP)
it's bizarre to me that every single controversial game has these kinds of posts where it loudly claims the game is the #1 best selling game across the globe but that is has also sold less than half of what its predecessor did. asscreed shadows and veilguard were probably the most egregious but it's becoming the common format they all use.

>>723718491
Being a doomer is a profitable industry

>>723718432
You use Action Combat a lot of the time because you don't need a target to cast skills, other MMOs use that over tab targeting even though GW2 is closer to a hybrid (although you don't need to tab target at all as opposed to XIV and WoW where it's required because skills need a target to cast)

>>723718725
Ok so
The genre of “MMO combat” doesn’t exist and is stupid bullshit you made up for the sake of a false equivalency, since GW2, WoW, Dofus, and Mabinogi all have their own combat systems.

>>723718830
They are nearly all cooldown based, even older games like FFXI and EQ. MMO combat is about cooldown rotations. Even RO had sequences to use your character skills in.

God you people have too much time on your hands.

>>723708334
>>723716298
You lost.

>>723718650
Yet the doomers call other people the slop consumers.

>>723718978
So within this definition you’ve constructed for yourself Dofus (a SRPG) WoW (a tab target RPG) and FFXVI (an ARPG)
Are all the same fucking genre because they feature skills with cooldowns

>>723719302
FF16, a game by literal MMO devs, does in fact have MMO combat yes. Even the quests are MMO quests. What's next, FF12 isn't MMO inspired game despite borrowing heavily from FF11? I can't speak for Dofus however because I never played it.

still debating if it is worth getting a switch 2 to play it or if the old one runs it just fine.

I bought it and I'm having a blast.

>>723734061
Literally all I've heard since it was revealed is people bitching that it isn't a proper PLA sequel, and people bitching that it's based on the worst region. I have no idea who's even the audience for this game.

>>723734061
Don't think anyone asked

>>723705219
>flopped in the area pushing for the agenda the most
lol

>>723733961
Ilca isn't an Indian studio
PLA isn't open world
PLA isn't a tech demo

You got everything except it being outsourced wrong.

The lawsuit is more entertaining than ZA
So is the game

Pokemon is incredibly dumbed down so children could understand it.
That's why it uses a rigid rock/paper/scissors style elemental table instead of each monster having it's own strengths and weaknesses. This is why monsters can only learn 4 moves. It's why it has a simple linear evolution mechanic to keep it a simple progression so your early monsters aren't utterly useless later on.

Pokemon isn't the golden standard of monster raising/collection games, it's the bottom line that does it in the most simplistic way to get the job done to appeal to a young audience.
When it came out other monster games had much more complex mechanics (SMT was among the easiest btw) so the genre was incredibly niche because it was autist-only territory.

I mean sega massively out sold nintendo in the 90's there so you aren't wrong. Even the gamegear sold more than the GB initially.

>legends ZA releases
>start seeing more nintendo deranged threads than usual
These niggers are panicking right now

>>723705828
nuPokemon is shit, but anyone watching this faggot that lives in a literal roach farm is a retard.

>>723716041
He just covers whatever is popular to say. When palworld released he shill it a lot. Then he suddenly became obsessed with being a pokemon grifter because it's what's popular right now. Same as a lot of other streamers.

>>723736023
Why is it so hard to understand for these people that pokemon is not supposed to be Expedition 33 or whatever normie UE5 shit they think it is.
It's a really simple game with simple story and colorful characters but for some reason they want pokemon to be Bloodborne or some shit like that.
It's very clear that GF and Nintendo don't want pokemon to be complex or too deep, it will always be the most bottom tier monster catcher game.

>>723722034
And sales, eh, but then again, /v/ convinced itself that Elden Ring, Mario Kart World, BG3, and E33 all flopped so who knows

>>723730083

>I'm not wrong, the consumers are wrong
lol

>>723711334
chart/sales threads?
sure it's coming into holiday season, it's time for concentrated shilling of upcoming products instead if shitting on competitors.

Lillie wins as always

>>723705524
yeah it's probably hard to write with shit all over your hands right Rajeet?

>>723711334
With Nintendo being the last one standing, there's not much to talk about. Yay, newest game on Switch 2 sold another few hundred thousand, so what. It's not like there's other competition in the console space. So, as strange as this may sound, what if we just go back to playing video games?

>>723739815
>what if we just go back to playing video games
Unfortunately certain brand warriors won't allow that. Anything even tangentially related to Nintendo like a game in the same genre is used in their unrequited war.

>>723715657
it came out during the pokemon go craze

Even by Pokemon standards this is very bad and hard to defend. This one ain't getting that 'tendo Seal of Quality.

>>723709761
Did you generate an AI image and then poorly trace feet onto it?
Could you not have just generated the image to have feet in the first place?

>>723705835
>triple the playerbase of US
>only manages to tie with US.

How.

>>723739549
>Nigertendo didn´t add a Kalos Lillie clone
Are they literal retards or they just hate money?

>>723705016 (OP)
As much as I want it to fail, I won't say anything until the holiday sales conclude.

>>723705016 (OP)
You do know they only have to sell 370k copies to break even

Every Corp is seething they can't get away with a 20M budget

>physical sales
>>>>>UK

Literal nothingburger headline

I fucking hate Pokemon and want nothing more than for TPC’s hubris to bite them in the ass, but you’d have to be a retard to take physical sales in 2025 as an indicator of anything.
