>bro the graphics don't matter, gameplay is king-ACK
Can we finally GR15 these faggots off our board and send them back to their pokegirl SHITTED generals on /vp/? Even gachatards aren't as embarrassing as modern Pokemon defenders.

>>723882732 (OP)
I like Pokemon but it's so shit. The last game I enjoyed was Soulful Silver and Y made me quit the series. I looked at every new mainline release and it just made me hate it more, they just sloppy gimmicks too.

>>723882732 (OP)
>just spam one move
>he clearly uses two moves
Still looks boring as heck tho

>>723883218
underrated

I actually don't blame GameFreak for putting out shit games. Poketards have proven time and time again that they have absolutely zero standards. Why would GameFreak bother putting actual effort and money into their games when their fanbase will go out and buy low quality slop at full price?

>>723882732 (OP)
I don't really see the point in being able to move around while the fight is happening.

>>723886014
Moves have range and if you move your pokemon will follow so you can dodge attacks

>>723886014
On top of what >>723886151
said, wild pokemon can hurt you

>>723886014
same... it made sense in arceus since you were fighting wild pokemon, but in pokemon trainer battles...? it feels retarded af. we should have complete control of the pokemon during battles or change to a differenct camera view like overhead so we can better control the pokemons positioning and combat. this is just retarded

>>723885914
Yeah exactly, it's better to laugh at people that will actually pay 80 bucks for this than the company profitting off of it.
How retarded do you have to be?

>>723886274
>it made sense
not in battle, you could just position yourself in a safe spot and nothing would happen to you

It genuinely looks worse than some assetflip 3D porn games I've played

>>723882732 (OP)
This is the 2nd battle in the entire game, he has literally two moves

>>723882732 (OP)
The product is no longer a game but instead is a social construct.
Pokemon pays truckloads of money to have influencers and streamers advertise it, so it bends social media engagement by brute force, which then pushes others to use Pokemon as a vehicle to attempt breaking out in online algorithms.
The actual "game" is such a small factor that it's not really even considered by most when purchasing it.
If you bought this, "game" for the gameplay, you really have no one to blame but yourself.

>>723886151
At this point just give us PMD but make it an action RPG or give us full control over the mon.

@723882732
>i want pokemon posters off my board
>i'll create a pokemon thread, that'll show them!
imagine being this buck broken because gamefreak made 1 (one) good game in 15 years

>>723886014
It has a point in rogue mega battles, you are expected to keep yourself safe while the fight is going on, it's essentially a secondary loss condition.
It's just hold-over for trailer battles though and has no real purpose besides exploitinh environmental props in ways that likely weren't intended.

>>723882732 (OP)
How the fuck is that comba even work ?
is it like first nino kuniu but with animation of free porn game ?

Sales release tommorrow, get ready for a melty of nuclear proportion.

>>723882732 (OP)
DON'T SHOW YOUR BACK TO YOUR OPPONENT DURING THE FIGHT YOU FUCK

>>723882732 (OP)
That looks more like the anime which is good.

>>723882732 (OP)
>Even gachatards aren't as embarrassing as modern Pokemon defenders.
OP is out if line... But he's right

I've never played a Pokemon game, but are all battles 1v1? Seems really limiting if you can't summon multiple pokemon as a party.

>>723887410
This is good? They didn't even bother animating the moves. It's just Chikorita headbanging with magic to fill in the attack. Have some standards.
It must be even more clear how bad it is when you're "controlling" a flying or aquatic pokemon.

>>723887641
Guess zooms really need their 15 second cutscene everytime you make a move, huh? Go back to playing genshit and press x to awesome.

>>723886014
yeah since you need to play the game to see why. positioning is very important.

>>723882732 (OP)
Gameplay >>>>>>>>>>>> graphics
Why are so many casuals shitting up this board? All you retards care about is muh graphics. Pokemon Z-A has the best gameplay in years.

>>723887884
>MMO-tier cooldowns are the "best gameplay in years" for Pokefags

>>723887884
>Pokemon Z-A has the best gameplay in years

>>723886151
Only certain attacks from regular pokemon can be reliably dodged with placement though. Melee doesn't usually go off until the enemy is close enough to fire it off with a good degree of certainty. Same with AOE ranged moves. Many attacks like Psychic don't have a path and just occur directly on the enemy. Other range attacks like swift and magic leaf home in on the enemy. So pretty much there's only certain ranged attacks you can count on dodging and it's hard to know what regular trainers have Pokemon with what moves. You can use certain moves to dodge other moves, due to their animations and effects, but those aren't really tied to placement.
Now against rogue Megas, most attacks have forecasting and can be dodged by moving around. But those fights work entirely differently.
But it's a problem because it feels like the whole combat system was designed with assymetrical gameplay (fighting rogue megas) in mind. But most of the game, and the PVP is all regular trainer vs. trainer fights.

>>723887884
>Pokemon Z-A has the best gameplay in years.
Compared to what? Other pokemon games? Lol

>>723882732 (OP)
>"None of that matters. This is the most fun pokemon game since red and blue!"
Why are the biggest apologists those who are only casually into pokemon?

>>723882732 (OP)
I'm glad Gamefreak finally stopped pretending and fully embraced the dog fighting and cock fighting inspirations of Pokemon. Nothing like watching two animals absolutely beat the shit out of each other in some shitty back alley

>>723888656
Yes. Pokemon Z-A's combat system is vastly improved from earlier titles. The real-time combat makes it exciting because you have to think and make decisions quickly. This might be a bad thing if you have a low IQ and think slowly.

>>723887732
You are blind. Look at the animations. They just do a basic default one with all attacks where your pokemon nudges their head before somehow the attack deal damage.
It's literally worse than any of the 2D animations they made for sprites 2 decades ago.

You're the fucking zoomer who can't even tell when the devs are openly scamming you.

>>723888918
>Pokemon Z-A's combat system is vastly improved from earlier titles
And still light-years behind every other modern JRPG.

>>723889029
That wasn't the question. I said it's vastly better than previous POKEMON games. You keep moving the goalposts. Just admit you're a brokie and coping over the fact that you can't play.

>>723882732 (OP)
What's even the point of running around yourself? I don't remember really remember Ash doing circles during pokemon battles, but I've only seen a few episodes. Yes, sometimes they chase or run away, but that's more of an exception, I think.

>>723889152
Don't care, the game is still shit like every nu-Pokemon game

>>723882732 (OP)
Graphics wouldn't be that much of an issue if the art direction wasn't utter dogshit.

Is Z-A the most critically panned game of our generation? There have been countless threads every day about how bad it is. There’s an entire industry of complaining about this game on YouTube. With the massive boycott going on, will Nintendo be forced to liquidate or declare bankruptcy? No game has been this critically trashed since maybe Fallout 76, which led Bethesda to be liquidated.

It's just retarded zoomers jumping on the bandwagon. The game is fine. Actually, it's pretty damn good. The problem is there are a couple braindead sloptubers who made hate videos to farm viewers and retarded sheep actually believed it.

How can Palworld "mog" Pokemon when it's literally a cheap knockoff? That's like saying a fake Rolex is better than a real one. You're not Chinese, are you?

>>723882732 (OP)
Why not just let you control the pokémon in an action RPG style?

>>723882732 (OP)
Why do you keep posting the tutorial fight every thread?

>>723889626
Lmao cope and seethe shill

I would give it maybe a 6.5/10
It's a game full of good potential but really feels like it's needs some polish and a bit of refinement.
The day/night gameplay loop is a cool idea but they need something that can only be done in the day and likewise made the A-Z night-time loop more engaging (Maybe the story ends at z-f while f-a is post game)
Side quests, shops, cafe and maybe pokemon centre only open during the day or something to add some depth
The world/city desperately needs to be bigger, even if it's just 1 city they all look identical. Cities are made up of posh areas, run down areas, shopping, artistic corners etc. while this game has none of that. It doesn't even have a Shopping arcade despite those being quite popular in Paris
It also DESPERATLY needs some more assets, walls/floors etc. have no visible irregularities.

I'm honestly wondering if Gamefreak is lazy or just incompetent

>>723882732 (OP)
whats wrong with this?

Christ, just do it real time like palworld

You know Pokemon ZA is a success when half of the board are Pokemon threads kek

>>723889626

>>723889690
In this case the real Rolex is a low quality watch made of the lowest grade plastic while the knockoff is made of silver.

>>723882732 (OP)
I don't like that they seem to keep listening to r*ddit, because they have been asking for "open world" and "real time battles" for 15 years now. I like pokemon games, I like the designs, creating a team and how relaxing they are, you can get through them without much thought. I enjoyed Sword and Scarlett, which I emulated, I wouldn't buy a Switch for the games, I would be very disappointed too if I paid for them. I don't care enough anymore to search for a rom and a working yuzu fork to try this out, though.

This is about what a low level fight looks like in almost every pokemon game.

Level 3 shitsquirrel spamming tackle against level 5 anusdog who is spamming leaf cutter.

I think what Pokehaters dont seem to understand is that pokemon was never good if werent there specifically for the cute animals.

>>723888993
Let me guess, you need more?

>>723886014
The Pokemon follows you closely, so you can move to position it to dodge attacks or to land yours, the trainer can also be injured and KO'd during wild pokemon encounters so you gotta think where your trainer is

>>723889690
This current Pokemon's gameplay is literally just a shittier version of Palworld's.

This is gonna go crazy.

>First pokemon battles are always about spamming your attack move
How did this get so many serious replies? Its been like this from game 1 onwards for 25 fucking years.

>the "lets try and make it look like my positioning matters at all" tactical sidesteps

Palworld is a shitty open world survival game cheaply made by amateurs.

Gonna reply to yourself again samefag?

I don't care how dogshit Pokemon is, I will never see Palworld as anything other than a garbage Ark clone.

>>723891153
That's what I'd hope for, but I feel like they'll lean way harder towards the Animal Crossing side to reel in as many casuals as possible.

>>723891014
Oh right TS is the same price, but it's much more worth the money compared to the slop that is ZA

>>723887849
It really isn't though since the game is designed for toddlers and pedophiles so there can be no difficult fights

>>723887884
I agree for the most part, but hey one of my favorite games ever is Digimon World, and ZA reminded me of it quite a bit, but I'm not a retard, the game cuts way too many corners and it ends up being just okay when It could have been great

Average Nintendo fan

i love it when people defend dogshit yet overpriced games because it's a "premium luxury" thus outing themselves as actual 3rd worlders because nobody who actually makes good money thinks thats actually expensive. saw this with diablo 4 for weeks, it's a big status symbol in their favela to own something that almost costs a month's savings in their dirt currency

>>723891097
That'd be Mighty Number 9

>Its unfinished but it is charming and soulful as fuck.
But that's the huge issue, isn't it? People got mad because of the potential they saw and what the trailers had shown, but the final product was just so tedious to actually play and it was buggy as fuck.

Are you guys just going to keep seething over ZA forever? I guess it's an excuse to have a poke thread, but still.

>>723891476
>palcuck is mindbroken by the fact that the ark styled game gets compared to ark

>>723886014
Depending on the attack, it can either home, or needs line of sight, or has an area of effect, all of which are impacted by positioning. Accuracy is no longer a thing but instead moves have these elements along with a cooldown timer to balance them instead. For example, Psychic has a reasonably long cooldown and a long start up, but can hit from a distance and perfectly homes.

You have to unlearn a lot of shit from the main games about balance though. For example, Fly, Bounce and Dig are fantastic now. Reasonable cooldown but lets you approach invisibly and invincibly and perfectly homes. Gyarados with Bounce is probably the single most common meta pick right now.

A lot of the mechanics have been transferred to this real time system fairly naturally, even the turn based ones. Leftovers now heals every few seconds instead of every turn. Spikes/Toxic Spikes literally throws them onto the field, and essentially makes it so opponents take damage if they go where they are.

What's especially of note is that the size of the Pokemon is also relevant. Attack animations and hitboxes scale with their size, which means fuck huge mons have fuck huge attacks, but also fuck huge bodies to get hit by. Pic related, my Alpha Mega Tyranitar has insanely fucking huge attacks but has to deal with getting hit by stray shit all the time.

This is likely the reality for 99% of players. New system fucking sucks for complexity but for casual playthroughs people have slightly more to do when face rolling every encounter.

>>723896189
But anon think of the Pokemon shareholders...

>>723893920
>>723894012
You both sound like massive faggots

>>723896189
so you desperately needed to play it

>>723894264
The punch Mossanda does is fucking great

Palworld won.

>>723896042
>you seem mad that the worst game of all time belongs to sony
Silly anon, thats because youre coping with the comparison of your cultlike manchild behavior, as more embarassing and socially unacceptable than concord's mere existance. Which, like you said, is the worst game of all time.
Let me get this through your head. People cringe so hard when they see modern pokemon adults' behaviors that it is akin to the biggest financial media failure of all time and im not being hyperbolic. That is how much of a failure of a human being you have become.

>>723891014
Yeah. Not everyone can keep the same price for a 20 year old game like Nintendo does for all of them

>>723896886
>sony cultist cope going into overdrive
whats wrong sport, samefagging not helping?

>>723890259
>implying high level fights are any better
lol

>>723894264
>>723896767
God, is so much fucking SOVL. Pokepedos are beyond blind if they’re still clinging to Nintendo’s dick rather than accepting peak

>>723890489
Don't know if I can do it...certainly will try but still

>>723896976
It’s insane how tendies see that as a bad thing.
I always say that to a tendie the most important thing is Nintendo making money and they prove me right time and time again.

>>723896982
>samefagging

>>723882732 (OP)
Buy an ad

>>723897115
Who gives a shit

>>723896042
Far a I can tell Concord flopped because ugly and woke. The game itself is passable. ZA is also ugly and woke but it has the benefit of millenials being groomed from childhood into buying it

don't care I'm still buying a Switch 2 and Pokemon

>>723897227
Didn’t ask

>>723897226
People outside your cult.

>>723897145
>snoy is confused that people have basic pattern recognition

>>723897309
Keep caring loser

>>723897302
Too bad. If you want a safe space Bluesku and Mastodon exist, xister.

>>723897227
>but it has the benefit of millenials being groomed from childhood into buying it
I think this is the most disgusting part right? Like nintendo knows they can just shit out anything and their (very literal) cultists will eat it up. They know what theyre doing.

>>723897405
>nintendo derangement syndrome tranny brings up blue sky
Of course lmao

>>723897401
You’ll survive.

>>723897384
Youre delusional. Concord is shit. Sony is shit. Modern pokemon is shit. Modern pokemon adults are delusional cultists. You lost.
Deal with it.

What is it about this game that causes manchildren to seethe so constantly, so effortlessly?

They could be spending their time on anything, but somehow they always find themselves crawling back to Pokemon.

>>723897301
Don't worry. I'm not buying a switch 2 or pokemon so i can even it out for ya

>>723887884
literally nobody agrees with this guy lmao

>>723897309
>being a cultist is not caring that people pay the same amount of money you did

>>723897530
Survive you weirdly caring about toys? I sure will

Pokemon is going the way of the dodo and Palworld is going to usurp its niche.

>>723897564
Ok chud

>>723897569
the cultists tricked themselves into thinking switch 2 and any game on switch would flop
and since the real world is raping them so badly its making them devolve due to terminal NDS

>>723897653
And?

>>723897569
Because Pokemon is the biggest IP on the planet, and 4chan always loses 10% of its posting rate when a new pokemon game comes out because people like the games so much.
It is basically a free (You)/upvote/like factory if you're inflammatory enough because so many internet users have made "I don't like popular thing" their entire personality. Look at the fucking post in OP seething about the fucking tutorial.

>>723897791
You lost

So is the latest tendie cope them calling others cultists? What a deranged bunch of subhumans.

>>723897653
other way around

>>723898012
someone i know was basically bragging about the fact that they got the game and enjoyed it. Its like people are proud of the fact that they are eating shit

>>723898012
go pray to your $400 picture book, sony cultist

>the idea of playing a video game and having fun is so antithetical to the snoy that they see it as some form of bragging
grim

>>723897821
>because so many internet users have made "I don't like popular thing" their entire personality.
I think people that make pokemon their whole personality are much more pertinent to the matter, and i think you are a disingenous faggot.

>>723897743
It goes back to the switch era. Snoys and jeets were convinced Nintendo would drop out of the console market, but when the switch turned out to be the fastest selling console in history and breath of the wild got critical acclaim, it mindbroke them so bad they never recovered. Now they just spend every day denying reality and claiming Nintendo will go bankrupt any day now. Just look at the social media feeds. All the anti-Nintendo hate pushed by the algorithm involves jeets, grifters, and even culture war grifters like asmongold.

>sony out of no where again
Im dying

>>723897821
sadly a lot of the weridos who've made "nintendo bad" their personality aren't doing it for (you)s, they're just genuinely deranged creeps

>>723896676
>desperately needed to play it
nope, I was just curious, liked it enough to finish it, game is very fucking flowed, but the combat is enjoyable, catching mons' fun, pokegirl design is still top notch.....it's a solid 7/10, not worth 70 bucks tho, i might buy another Pokemon game if they give the next one the same level of polish and complexity as Palworld

>>723898472
Yeah but they also spent months claiming the switch 2 would flop. You could literally see the narrative switching back and forth in real time
>Switch 2 will sell out only because of artificial scarcity it's not actually popular
>Switch 2 is still in stock so that means no one is buying it

>>723898660
Nintendo haters are some of the worst freaks on the internet. I thank god every day these people never leave their homes.

>>723896996
Very true

>>723898660
>Palestine flags seething about Nintendo
You love to see it.

>>723898773
Honestly i cant even tell if this is bait. He might be this stupid.

>>723898660
The only thing that gets me about that pic are the BOTW/TOTK copies. Like bro you didn't already have those games?

>>723897569
My favorite bit of these threads so far is some sperg getting so mad, so frustrated that he started spamming pictures of literal shit in any pokemon thread he could find.

Digitally shitting himself to make a statement after all his words failed him. It was fucking magical

>>723897821
>4chan always loses 10% of its posting rate when a new pokemon game comes out because people like the games so much
Creative shilling I'll give it that, but still obvious

>>723898660
I hope these Russian bots sowing discord. I refuse to believe anyone could spend every day being this mad without getting a heart attack.

>>723898907
the site he used for cp spamming got nuked so the snoy can't spam his favorite pictures to get threads deleted

>>723882732 (OP)
Its because most of the game's budget went to Instagram Inflencers

>>723898451

>>723898981
I wish it was just bots, but its AIsloppers dedicating months of their lives to seething about nintendo giving ammo to the deranged psychopaths

>>723897569
Ironic post when most pro Pokemon threads on /v/ now involve the OP softcore porn dumping because Pokemon has nothing else going for it besides coping fan artists

It sucks how fanboys are so loyal to their parent company, and will claim to care about good gameplay (unless it's a game not from their parent company, then they shit on it).

For example, to this day Nintendo fans hate Pizza Tower, Hollow Knight Silksong, Anton Blast, Expedition 33 and pretty much any multiplat. Even if it's on their console, they just cannot stand the thought of someone considering these games better than a nintendo exclusive. The famitsu threads are especially shameful in this capacity.

>>723899265
Hey at least they are lusting after women now instead of animals.

>>723899356
nintendo fans are the only ones who supported pizza tower by buying physical editions of the game
but you knew that already didn't you sealion boy?

Pokemon is about enslaving creatures and forcing them to fight other creatures. It's most of the most barbaric games ever.

>>723882995
kek

>>723899265
Me on the right

>>723899265
weird cope when all digimon and palcuck threads, the ones that aren't just snoys shitting themselves in anger over nintendo existing, are just porn dumps

>>723899495
>Nintendo fans supported the game
>called it tranny shit the moment someone implied that it was better than Tears of the Kingdom

>>723899629
>N-no u!
Concession accepted

>>723899265
Cope? Fanart is a token of appreciation. Are you retarded?

>>723899653
>actroon showed up to damage control

>>723886014
It made a difference in Yakuza Infinite Wealth. Not sure what they're going for here....

>>723899735
snoys can't understand the concept that people would organically like something enough to make art about it

>>723899753
So much for Nintendo fans supposedly supporting Pizza Tower. guess you dropped that real quick. haha

Please, tell me some more about how it's wrong to prefer Pizza Tower to Tears of the Kingdom, when it's objectively a better game based on objective merits like spending less money on graphics, voice acting and cutscenes, and put more emphasis on pure gameplay.

Meanwhile Zelda wanted to be a bloody snoy movie.

>>723899185
>Guys Nintendo is literally killing video games!
Bruh each video has like no views why is he doing this? There's not much money to be made pushing anti-Nintendo stuff.

I can't understand how the hell anyone is still a console warrior in 2025

>>723899356
Silksong is literally a top seller on the nintendo store though.

>unprompted mental breakdown over famitsu and zelda
snoys really do let nintendo live rent free in their heads

>>723899886
Ummm Ubislop is good if nintendo makes it, chud.

>>723900020
So why do Nintendo fans hate it so much? The moment someone implies that it's better than Donkey Kong Bananza or Mario Kart world, the whole thread shits itself.

>>723899984
No idea. You have tendies in this very topic shitting on the idea of games becoming cheaper lmao
And you just know they also don’t own any Nintendo do stock either. They just want their friends to make money. That’s the level of fanaticism tendies have sunk to.

>>723899984
the majority of them have died out, sony cultists are simply angry 50+ year olds shitting their adult diapers because they gaslit themselves into thinking nintendo would go bankrupt and give all their IPs to sony back in the early 2000s and they've been trying to cope with reality for years

>>723900020
don't reply to ACtranny, hes making shit up again

>>723890668
New Nintendo game means the usual NDS gang are having a melty.

>>723900327
>>723900221
Typical console warriors. They claim to like video games, but will hate anything not by their parent company. They won't even admit something as simple as "indies and multiplats can, and often are, better than exclusives".

Of course fanboys would have to be reasonable to admit this.

>>723900145

Shut up ACfag.

>>723900561
>no rebuttal
Sad, but expected. Look at the sheer hate Armored Core 6 got because I dared to imply that it was GOTY material (based on my metric and not some gay game journalist)

To this day Nintendo fans still hate me over it, spamming out of context webms and lying about the game. Ironic since they cry about people doing that to Zelda, but consistency isn't really their strong suit.

>>723900020
the snoy tries to pretend people hate indie games because no one mentions them at all, for good or bad, in the famitsu thread, so he just lies and starts spamming threads with claims that "DUH TENDIES AWE SHITTING ON DIS GAME!!!!" even when people post direct proof from the archive

>>723900727
you didn't even play AC6

>>723900862
Liking multiplats makes you a snoy now? wow, didn't see that coming. Is this a Palworld situation, where liking the game makes you a Palsnoy (even though the game didn't even originally have a playstation version until later)?

Oooh, or is this an OOTsnoy situation, where liking an older Zelda game makes you a snoy because it's competing against a new Zelda game? You know, it's so hard keeping up with the shitposts.

>>723898904
In fairness, they come with the upgrade pack in the cartridge. He likely sold/traded them off. I’m more bothered with him getting the MKW bundle and the physical.

You sure are hesitant to say that indie games can be good, let alone better than exclusives. So much for being a fan of these games.

comparing pokemon to a rolex is such a delusion, stupid, pokemon fans are still comparing to the tec limited games made in the 2000s truly pathetic

I’m having a lot of fun. I’m going to post some screenshots of my adventure later today. But nice thread op. :)

>723901613

Got a source for that?

You're not a pokemon fan if you buy this, you're cattle. An actual fan would demand that their favorite series gets the respect it deserves and for the devs to raise the standards.

>>723902625
No, a real fan would want whatever is most profitable for the company. We can't let the snoys win, Nintendo has to maximize profits.

QRD on who is ACtranny?
