Why is it always like this???

>>725479423 (OP)
Are you required to catch Pokemon in order to progress ZA like in Arceus? I only want to catch Pokemon that I will use…

>>725479423 (OP)
Pokemon games have been really fun for a casual playthrough ever since Sun and Moon were released. /v/'s full of people who only care about graphics so they're not really the best people to listen to regarding a game being fun or not. Even on an emulator with completely broken textures, ZA was a fun experience.

>>725479747
yes

>>725479423 (OP)
Most of the criticism against the game in the run up to release was bullshit. Once people actually played it on anything but an emulator they realized it was fine to actually good. You can spot the people who still believe the bullshit because they haven't updated their scripts.

No Serena. No buy.

>>725479423 (OP)
sorry for your terminal shit taste
hope they find a cure someday

>>725479747
No not really. Beyond the first wild zone which wants you to fill your team with fodder, you never HAVE to catch pokemon to progress the story. Progression this time is through battling.

>>725479423 (OP)
I've heard of good to bad but bad to good? What's it like enjoying videogames?

>>725480864
Take some time off of the internet and you can find out.

>>725480789

Nice, then I will most likely enjoy ZA more than Arceus.

>>725482278
Pokemon fans don't play any games outside of pokemon. That's why they think 2004 mmo combat is innovating. You know its bad when even 'tendrones who think botw reinvented the open world genre are calling out poketards

>>725482278
I was promised the combat would be Xenoblade Lite. It wasn't anywhere close to that.

The sneak attack mechanics are fun though.

>>725482993
wtf does that even mean

>>725482962
Its trash
Next question

>>725479747
You'll find yourself catching the same 10 pokemon 50 times each to complete Mable's requests to obtain TMs and the shiny charm regardless.

>>725483143
So when did you stop liking Pokemon

>>725482802
It takes a millisecond to realize you're a faggot and another to tell you this. I will now close this thread and go on about my day and forget this even happened immediately while you seethe and it festers in your undeveloped brain.

>>725479423 (OP)
I'd just like to interject for a moment. Shouldn't this thread be made in /vp/ which is, as we all know, the pokémon board?
That is to say, where people go to talk about polémon things?

>>725483267
>you’re gay im leaving the thread
damn i dunno how i can recover now that the bitch boi is gone

>>725479423 (OP)
/v/ isn't real, it's full of paid shills and there are a lot of discord kids that just hate one type of game and will eternally shitpost about it.

Funny thing is that there are so many annoying kids that literally every single game will have some discord raid shitposting about it at any time.

I would blame the 2006 polbabby invasion but /v/ always has had terrible taste

>>725479423 (OP)
/v/ doesn't play vidya. It's all just crossboarding shitposters and the faggot moderation staff that actively encourage such behavior.

>>725479747
No, not main story progress (past the catching tutorial), but a lot of good TMs (on top of the Master Ball and Shiny Charm) are locked behind catching mons.

>>725480465
>emulator
you say this like it's actually a different experience, at worst you're going to get flickering and very minor graphical bugs.
emulators can run the game at 1440p+ and 60 fps no problem. it's still the same game with mediocre gameplay (being generous) and 2d windows and doors. nothing to do with shit emulators.

>>725483496
that's one fat raichu

>>725479423 (OP)
The only problem with pokemon is the character design
>>725479747
No. That alone makes it better than legends arceus, but you do get actual good rewards for catching pokemon.

how the FUCK is ranked already on season 2 I'm still rank b in the story are mfers on summer vacation or what

>>725483370
Ponctual discussion of the Pokémon games is allowed on the video game boards, /vp/ was created as a mean to congregate all the 24/7 Pokémon generals that were clogging up various boards like /v/'s battling/trading general /a/'s anime general, /tg/'s TCG general, etc. into a singular board.

>>725483143
>Its trash
>played it for almost two full days

the game is incredibly mediocre

>>725479423 (OP)
The black girl is pretty based though...

>>725483910
Most of the glitches like malformed textures and falling through the geometry happened on emulators but people ran with it as an example of the game being buggy.

>>725484674
No she's not. She's fucking insufferable.

>>725484674
I saw people losing their minds over her on twitter and thought they were just virtue signaling because she's black but after actually playing the game she's actually a pretty fun character

>>725484674
Finding out she was a sickly sweet domineering psycho bitch made me like her a lot. She's hatefuck material.

>>725483959
Fat rat supremacy

>>725484695
>falling through the geometry

ok... so, proof that it was on emulator?
also, who is saying the game is buggy? sure it looks bad, but hardly anyone is saying anything about bugs. the only real issue with emulator was the fletchling cutscene at the beginning causing crashes, besides occasional texture flickering. there is otherwise no difference in the experience compared to switch hardware. negative perception of the game is not some fabrication by people who emulated.
people also said the same shit about sv by just blaming any bugs on emulators when they obviously weren't the issue.

>>725483143
>dude so mad he just copied a save for his emulator to pretend he played it

>>725483143

How?!? I will never understand you people who play as slow as fucking possible

>>725486580
the proof is that you have no in game footage, only emulator running the game at the impossible 1920*1080 resolution

>>725479423 (OP)
If you filter out all the gooning and condition your brain to invert the meaning of everything posted here, /v/ is the ultimate place for good game recs

It's somewhere in the middle... it's ok.

/v/ (autistic people) think in black or white. Probably why they like Gen 5 lol

>>725479423 (OP)
Because /v/ doesn’t play video games

>>725484617
>nooooo you can't just say the game is shit after 5 hours that's still the tutorial
>nooooo you can't just say the game is shit when you only have 5 hours left you played it for 40 hours already

>>725486681
I'm halfway in the game, 28 hours in. I just do side quests and also refuse to heal in battle meaning that I had to redo some of them. You should stop watching streamers it's bad for your mental health

>>725479423 (OP)
>Middling reception game
>Has best girl since the DS Era

>>725486580
The bugs in SV were replicated on original hardware. PLZA's weren't. There was also the issue of the footage being passed around after the game was dumped but before the game's street date. If it was a review copy they would have blasted it out in reviews.

>>725486913
you are shitting yourself.

It baffles me that a goofily overbearing battle fanatic pissed off enough people that she became a love-it-or-hate-it character. "Oh wow, a high ranking trainer wants to invite me to a battle tournament, what a fucking bitch."

>>725486996
I got the impression after the game leaked that people were trying to recreate the insane SV glitches videos and when the game just wasn't that buggy they tried to force it anyway. I saw a guy posting a webm here that was just the guy playing badly but it was presented as if it was something wrong with the game

>>725487093
Sorry I'm not the quartering

Found it, this is what they were trying to pass as some unforgivable bugs and proof that the game was shit

>>725479423 (OP)
I had some fun with ZA, but it's pokemon and I'm autistic, just how it is.
The music is good, the transitions to battles is as smooth as you'd hope, but otherwise nothing was really "good". The battle system is spamming cooldowns while awkwardly jerking your pokemon around, story is actually terrible with tons of filler and threads that go nowhere, city setting makes no sense which they acknowledge ingame, city itself is visually bland since it looks the same everywhere you go, pokemon distribution isn't great, wild zones can be a crap shoot because most of them are tiny so if you aggro an alpha then you're probably taking on the entire rest of the zone as well, making it difficult to target what you want while also dodging everything. The catching is also more bland than PLA since it uses standard pokeballs that have no differences in throw.
I don't really know what the idea behind the game was frankly

>>725479423 (OP)
Shitposting and pretending you're too good to have fun is free. Don't hate them, it's just all they have.

>>725479423 (OP)
This thread will focus on Pokemon Z-A, but I've seen this happen for years with every single game. I think the board is just too popular now. People who are angry (or actually insane) are more motivated to post, and they drown out all the people that like a game. And lots of people get mad at games without ever playing them because they hear something they don't like about it or see a trailer that triggers them. So they shit on the game for years with dedication.

>>725479423 (OP)
It's not that buggy. But as per usual, the bugs are used to obscure the actual fundamental flaws of the game. See Cyberpunk.

But if you try to defend it don't be surprised when people call you a dumbass

>>725486996
>before game's street date
not really proof but whatever. it's almost certainly a rare bug.

>>725488081
doesn't happen to good games, not in the way you're suggesting anyway. gamefreak's reputation over the past several years also isn't helping.

>>725488228
>webm showing jank interactions
what's the problem. no one is actually paying attention to these, you're exaggerating their influence on the discourse around this game.

>>725491089
Most of the claims around the game's lack of quality can't actually point to anything past the superficial aspects they can see in twitter videos or sweeping claims about the game being lazy or bad with no details. If this is the level of criticism expect equally shallow defenses. I can describe what I like about the game but no one seems to be able to describe what they think is bad about it so why bother? No one is going to believe the game isn't putrid when that's what the narrative needs to be.

>>725483143
how many of those 39 hours are trying to get shinies in wild zone 3

>>725489780
There is that. Also being city focused presumably. But it felt like being experimental for experiment's sake without really knowing what you were trying to do.
To introduce wild pokemon to the game, they have wild zones. As you play, you come to realize the problem with this, the pokemon are aggressive yet are being put around homes and businesses. This is something argued about ingame yet nothing comes of it.
It's set 5 years after XY. What does this do for the game? Nothing in particular. They basically name the game after AZ yet all he does is die. Lysandre being subjected to the same life is something I guess. Not much new about zygarde or the other box legendaries. Most of the game is spent talking to e-girls, chasing a girl through a sewer, doing those terrible rogue mega boss battles.
The rival has a weird hero complex and has a near tantrum at the end of the game when you're stronger than him. This goes nowhere. Floette remains with him until you beat him again in the post-game despite her explicitly looking for the strongest trainer, which is definitively not him. It's like they expected you to lose to him or something.
The Z-A ranking system was not very thought through, it's just there for the name. You skip through half the ranks which sounds disappointing, until you basically do the rest of the ranks in the post-game and it's an unfun slog. Not the best system
There's just nothing for me to like about this game. There was no conviction behind any of it

>>725492506
shut the fuck up faggot, ain't nobody asked you

>>725492075
Honestly the aesthetic isn't too bad. It's one of the better attempts at presenting the Pokemon style in 3D without restricting the player to a tiny corridor. There always being a point of interest on the screen when you running around (shiny item, ball item, mega crystal, pokemon) makes it really difficult to pay attention to the textures. The textures which look okay in gameplay. The lighting engine and good use of reflections does a lot of heavy lifting.

>>725479423 (OP)

It's shit like this that make people disregard literally anything you say. If you think the series hasn't had a SINGLE GOOD GAME IN 20 YEARS then who the fuck cares about appeasing you?

>>725487187
No, I also prefer raising my little weapons of mass destruction myself.

>>725487187
For actually using them, yes. But for filling out the Pokedex I much prefer just catching a wild Salamence instead of having to raise a level 20 Bagon to level 50.

>>725493187
I don't think it hasn't had a good game in 20 years, I know it, now go back to eating shit since you love it so much

Something that the game did well to make it fun or shows that they put care into the game
I can even do it for you. I enjoyed leveling Mabel's research. It's less tedious than leveling the pokedex in PLA as it's no longer specific to individual pokemon and gives you good rewards. It's cute that using the camera on characters makes them react.
But if you ask me about anything else then I have little to nothing positive to say.

>>725492902
I need a bit more direction on what you want to hear that's good about it. I'm not writing a full review. I'll give some bullet points and you can tell me what you want detail on.
>story
Good continuation from XY. The focus on the city and its people worked really well for me.
>gameplay
Fun and decent to tinker with. I didn't expect GF to ship a good real time battle system on their first attempt so this was a pleasant surprise. The camera was seamless, targeting was easy, movement felt great. Moveset variety was also decently deep and every niche felt represented. Rogue mega fights were the best single mon bosses they've ever done.

Pokemon threads convince me that its fans have not actually played any other games for at least a decade.

>>725493818
People will also look at criticisms and go "nah doesn't matter I had fun". Hasn't stopped people from explaining their thought process with reasoning on why they think the game is mediocre or bad.

>>725495367
They got high off the moralfagging crusade (actually just social media shit flinging) of dexit and again with SV's release. Every new Pokemon game is a new opportunity to relive the social media shitstorm. This time it had the added cancer of twitter ad revenue fueling it.

>>725495946
Fuck off retard

>>725495075
It connects well with completing the dex, and because of how easy it is to catch things, you'll be passively completing the missions over the course of the game without even pointedly trying to. Your rewards for doing it are good TMs like earthquake, and individual levels of the research only take 2-3 missions to complete if you are intentionally trying to level it so it never feels too grindy (except the battles/mega shards).
It's about the least obnoxious thing about the game because it's a simple, easy system that does a good job of rewarding your general progression.

>>725480175
>Pokemon games have been really fun for a casual playthrough ever since Sun and Moon were released
yea because the old ones are real hardcore. lmao.

The only good pokemon switch tier list (because it mine and I made it)

>>725496342
And then the game requires you to fucking trade to complete that shit. It's objectively worse than PLA, kys shilltard
Also, the mission variety is the exact same fucking bullshit
Oh good, you no longer have to catch 10 of each mon, now you have to catch 100 of each type

>>725496686

do your side quests dipshit. I bet you're one of those retards that were crying over how hard the game was because you didn't have access to held items until the post game

>>725496686
Removing the link cable was a mistake
Otherwise it's 50 of a type, which is doable without being tiring. I ended up finishing some of those without actually trying to, since I was generally catching mons and dual types count for both missions. You'll end up doing most of the research by the end of the game without paying much attention.
Though like I said, those battle and mega shard ones I never bothered trying to complete. I finished the infinite z-a royale and still wasn't done with the battle mission so it can fuck off. Do online battles count towards it?

>>725497234
>Though like I said, those battle and mega shard ones I never bothered trying to complete.
You don't have to unless you want the shiny charm. The Mega Stone mission ends up just being "Obtain all the mega stones" if you try to complete the Pokedex.

>Do online battles count towards it?
Nope, and it ends up being 1k battles. If I didn't have a turbo controller I wouldn't have bothered.

>>725497532
Not the mega stone one, the one where you break the crystals around the city. It was kind of annoying to keep stopping to attack them so I only really bothered to in small bursts.

>>725479747
No, but catching pokemon sucks in this game. You only get a few tries to catch a mon and if it breaks out by sheer RNG, it's gone for good. Stealth and backshot throws doesn't matter. One break out attempt and they immediately know it's you and either attack or run away. There's no baiting or stunning, either. It's a complete downgrade from Arceus.

>>725497991
Pretty sure the rage state from failed captures wears off
It's true it's a downgrade though

>>725497991
The catch rates are abysmal, too. It's extremely difficult to catch anything with a pokeball if it's over like level 20. Not to mention the amount of Pokemon that will instantly flee if they notice you.
It doesn't even feel like damage and status do anything most of the time. You get something to 1 HP, put it to sleep or paralyze it, and it will be the same displayed catch rate than if you just walked up to it without doing any prior damage.
This is without bringing up the time change completely resetting a Pokemon or even despawning it.

>>725479747
You don't even get anything for completing the pokedex. No item, no fanfare, nothing.

>>725498248
>The catch rates are abysmal, too. It's extremely difficult to catch anything with a pokeball if it's over like level 20. Not to mention the amount of Pokemon that will instantly flee if they notice you.
They changed how catch rates work in the game. It's based on story progression and how many of the catch rate boosting Canari plushes you have. Once you're in the postgame and have all three of the catch rate plushes you can easily catch anything with a Pokeball, I'm going for a shiny living dex right now and I've even got all three members of the Beldum line in Premier balls.

The old ones had HMs which made them unfun and annoying. S/M completely getting rid of them was a great choice for just making a fun experience instead of a chore-like one where you need an HM bitch on the team. The old games are still plenty playable, but S/M was the start of removing old and bad traditions, that's why I think it's the starting point for Pokemon getting really good.

>>725498248
>This is without bringing up the time change completely resetting a Pokemon or even despawning it.
Oh, that's another thing that pisses me off and it happens in-battle too. I hate the day/night cutscene in this game.

>>725498568
I'm in postgame, have all 3 plushes, and the catch rates are still shit.

>>725479423 (OP)
I don't know how anyone can find these games designed for 5 year olds to easily complete "fun". At least wait for mods or a hack to make the game into an actual game.

>>725498867
Skill issue, then.

>>725492751
Pokemon was always dogshit when compared to games on the same system, don't kid yourself

>>725499110
No Gameboy game was as large as Pokemon Gold.

>>725498748
You never needed an HM bitch. You just needed to stop BEING a bitch and just distribute them around your team. I say this after playing Platinum without an HM slave twice, which is the absolute worst game for HMs.
Not to say HMs were perfect, but I prefer having them over not and their problem is overblown.

i need to lick her ass through those stockings

>>725496342
You haven’t proven anything. It’s objectively tedious as it expects you to grind twice as many battles as required to buy everything in the game and catch twice as many Pokemon of every type as actually exist; there aren’t even 50 dragon types in the game but I have to catch 50 like I’m gonna be some shiny dex hunting autist but oh wait; I have to catch the 50 dragons first to get the shiny charm
See how easy it is

Sex with that hilda looking npc near the beginning

>>725479423 (OP)
I want Lida to wrap those long legs around my shoulders and force me to eat her hairy cooch after dance practice

>>725479423 (OP)
Everyone major character in that game except Emma and dance girl were jackasses.

I used Mawile a lot. She was very strong, comically so.

>>725479747
I think systems like that are good to make the "catch 'em all" aspect be encouraged beyond bragging rights.
Locking mandatory progression, probably not, but bonus rewards definitely.
The problem is Arceus worked better because pokemon could be caught en masse in a fun and snappy fashion, which isn't nearly as true with SV or ZA.

>>725484674
If you lighten her skin you are racist.

>>725479423 (OP)
You couldn't pay me to lie about fun or not fun in a video game. Those that do have lost their way, maybe even lost their souls entirely. ZA is a fun game and I am enjoying it a lot. I play it before bed.

I was going to agree with you but I just spent TWO FUCKING HOURS tracking down Gourry Gabiev's retarded sewer dwelling sister with Emma making the most OBVIOUS FUCKING DEDUCTIONS IN HUMAN HISTORY

>Pokemon defenders will say "it's fun, you're just mad, you forgot to have fun"
>immediately calls people shills if they like non-nintendo games

Hmmmm.....

I was mild on Lida then I had a romantic dream about her so now she makes me very horny

Don't worry anon. It only get worse

>>725480536
Taunie and Urbain are her kids.

It was okay, I didn't run into any glaring issues or glitches and mostly had more fun than not, but it's a pretty ugly game and there's just no variety to the town, it wouldn't have killed them to at least change the brick colors or something between districts. I liked Arceus more, this felt like more steps backwards than forward.

>>725509283
...it took you two hours to complete a 30 minute segment?

This thread is gay and retarded, but people should've realized decades ago that game reviewers/journalism is retarded. Just play the game and figure it out on your own.

>>725479747
You get rewards for doing the research. In certain parts you need to catch certain mons.
Sidequests might need you to have a certain mon also.

>>725479423 (OP)
Congratulations, you are certifiably brain-damaged! Don't forget to report in to the government so you can get free welfare for life.

>game is le good because it has coombait characters for my porn addicted brain
why are you guys like this?

>>725481469
You can also battle forever, even before finishing the story. So if you unlock a zone that has a mon you really want, you can do the bench trick and farm it to get the shiny /girl one you want of it.

Also, thanks to all the shiny crap everywhere, ypu end up with mints growing out of your ass, which means you can GIVE your money the 'perfect' nature for it.

Post game, online also gets you bottle caps for hyper training so you can perfect IV them. Gold caps do every state, silver caps get 1 stat.

You also get a bunch of bottle caps for reaching research levels.

It has never been easier to catch YOUR favourite mon and make them a total murder beast.

What fucking ninjeet psyops are these retards running?

it's just mid as fuck. people are rightfully expecting more from the biggest video game series ever (Yes, even bigger than your favorite). It's just that gamefreak/nintendo know they can get away with minimum viable product, and that's all they do.

>Steam Reviews
LOL

I can respect that they're trying to make a combat system that feels more action-y like Pokemon battles in the anime, but it just didn't quite click with me the way the classic gameplay does. Pretty fun overall though, Taunie is my stupid wife

Yes you have to play all the Pokemon games even the Mainline and Spin-offs to understand Z-A.
