>the games are so poorly received now that they have to bribe players with plushies to get them to even buy it

>>57899026 (OP)
if you cancel your preorder you can see which plushie you're getting btw

>>57899026 (OP)
At this point I'm convinced there are no new megas. There is no fucking way they put up preorders BEFORE showing off new stuff.

>>57899026 (OP)
People are so starved for new games on their Switch 2 that ZA is going to sell like mad.

>starter
I thought it was "first partner" now. Is this official?

>>57899026 (OP)
You can tell the only reason they made the plushy you get with the game random is because nobody in their right mind would have bought the embort plushy over the two starters people actually care about otherwise

your shitty chinese knockoff game is so bad there's even a gooseberry farms thread about it

Why do the legends games buck break shitposters so badly? Stantler getting an evolution (viability be damned) really was the breaking point huh?

>>57899233
Wyrdeer kind of a budget incin in randbats, I like him

>>57899026 (OP)
they've shown nothing

>>57899026 (OP)
Youll Boughted it Anyways

>>57899233
I think it's just a couple of sinnohfags who are broken because dppt didn't get a good remake and they blame pla, and subsequently every legends game from now on

>>57899175
they dont care about their DEIspeak when it comes to making money with plushies lol

>>57899026 (OP)

Fuck

Ah yes, the "There's no paradox pokémon in the game, because they haven't showen them in marketing" defence. Brave choice, we'll see if he can stick the landing in 4 months time.

Fucking Kek, wth were they thinking

I can already imagine my disappointment if I'm given Chikorita of the three.

>>57899245
Knocked it outta the park. The main "plass" guy is a guy who had a gigantic sperg-out due to BDSP existing.

>>57899026 (OP)
>people would rather talk about the jewish pre-order scam plushes than plass2
it's fucking over

and there he is

>>57899691
Every single pokemon game has shown off new mons or forms before having preorders available. ZA is the first to not show anything new.

>>57899026 (OP)
This is good. Pre-orders used to give you figurines and cool shit. I still have my Giratina and Ho-oh ones.

For a long time now you either had to pre-order from specific countries or buy thr double packs to get anything more than pokeballs and berries. Digital items you can easily obtain lol.

>>57899026 (OP)
Im gonna be pissed if I get the pig.

>>57899699
Idk why they chose Tepig. Like it should have been Scorebunny. The French love soccer too. Lol Tepig is like a Chinese Emperor idk how that fits into France.

>>57899175
...yes anon, the Pokemon Center is official.

>>57899825
>Lol Tepig is like a Chinese Emperor idk how that fits into France
who says it has to? what does a crocodile have to do with France either? people pin way more importance on Pokemon being related to the country than Gamefreak ever has, I don't get where it comes from

>>57899800
Every other Pokemon game has had an E3 or E3-esque event by this time of year to show off new stuff. That's why we're getting the random direct in July.

>>57899822
you are a pig

>>57899026 (OP)
>random
are they afraid no one's gonna pick a certain starter if they had the ability to choose? lel

>>57899825
To complete the Unova set over three legend titles? Oshawott got to be in PLA, Tepig is the ZA pick and Snivy will be a starter for the third entry.

>>57899949
They stopped giving lucky dip figures away with EU orders, so clearly it's because burgers are too cucked to complain about getting shitty picks from the machine.

>>57899961
>patternfagging
ishygddt

no surprise merchandise is where they get money

>>57899961
>STILL patternfagging
Unova remakes are next generation son. Unova starters will get ALL the focus the franchise can fuck at them then. But assuming what Game Freak are going to do with the Legends imprint's fucking retarded now. They went out of their way to not establish any kind of one, yet braindead fucks are DESPERATE to make one from it.

>>57899971
>>STILL patternfagging
>proceeds to patternfag

>>57900031
What, by stating they're gonna do whatever the fuck they want, given they did whatever the fuck they'd wanted with the second game in the imprint? That's not patternfagging, that's understanding they aren't treating it like the copy/paste pairs. L: Z-A's already been a massive middle finger to every patterntard out there yet you fixate on them using them as "rehabilitation" for your shitty starting Gen's trio when that clearly isn't the case (else they'd all have got glow-ups in fucking Hisui instead of being used as starter fodder to be replaced by a Mega starter - there's already 2 confirmed sets in-game, possibly a third).

Is there ANYTHING new in these games that we know of so far?

Everything I've seen looks like the same rehashed Switch content but condensed into one large city area. Same pokemon, same megas, same settings, etc.

What's even the point of getting it? It's like a poor rom hack.

>>57900070
? Who knows if it's good but the entire combat system is new

>>57899026 (OP)
Sitting cuties are like 10 bucks lmao

>>57899699
>Chicorita's stocks are finally rising
Christ, how hated is Emboar?

>>57899245
Couldn't be more wrong. Its a PLAssfag who hates that everyone will soon forget the tech demo ever existed and tries to get vp to shit on it with them so at least everyone remembers it.

Wow a bunch of faggots on a dead platform stunningly don't actually speak for the fanbase (because the pokémon internet are a contrarian bunch, who'll undoubtedly pivot to the Kalosian megas when they get revealed).

>>57900218
We just need yoshi woolly world but pokemon then

>>57900312
I don't speak for it either (beyond "the vast majority still enjoy it enough to buy and play") but it's fucking hilarious this kind of snotty response, because a snowflake is upset someone actually looked at the numbers behind the ragebait. Even for twitter, that's "literal who" engagement, given 247k engaged with the 5 second mega trailer highlighting M-Lucario and M-Charizard.

>>57900042
>it’s not patternfagging when I’m doing it

>>57899843
Totodile is probably a reference to Lacoste (a French fashion brand company). Tepig might just be a reference to French pork cuisine. >>57899825
GF probably felt that going against people's expectations for the starters would get more people talking about the game.

>>57900413
>"no, you MUST be patternfagging, you can;t honestly just TAKE the devs' intent atr face value"
I'm not autistic though. Meaning I'm not going to try and use past entries to predict future entries in the imprint, given how badly they went out their way to deny any such patternfaggotry. Continue being a patternfag, these aren't the paired new Gen pairs to allow it though.

>>57899813
We started getting figures again in the UK. SV had one of the starters and BDSP had Diagla and Palkia ones. Forgot if we had one for PLA because I never got it.

>>57899245
Don't forget the Unovabortions mad that they got skipped.
Reminder that they are so delusional that they actually think that most people like gen 5, when it's been proven the opposite on almost every poll.

>>57899825
Bold of you to assume that Tepig won't become Kalos Tepig.

>>57899699

>>57901438
>literal jokemon in the anime
Uh, yeah. It's why Incineroar was all over Gen 7, they gave Rowlet an Everstone and had Ash's Rowlet beat its ganky looking evolution. Just because it's a starter, doesn't automatically mean it's a shillmon (Chesnaught and Delphox got nothing in Gen 6, and Decidueye didn't help sell Pokkén to casualfags OR fighting game 'tards). Gen 2 was the same as Gen 9 - an amphibian, a dinosaur and a mammal. Kids picked the mammal, just like Gen 9.

>>57899233
>>57899245
Part of me wants to say it's yawny.

>>57901543
yawnfag is a hardcore legends defender and shill tho, but that may only be the case because ZA is set in his favorite region (kalos)

>>57900735
What the fuck man...

>>57901561
>yawnfag is a hardcore legends defender and shill
No he isn't.

>>57899026 (OP)
Isn't there a flat shipping charge on everything from Pokemon Center? The plush is just a way to give you some value from buying there vs any place where you wouldn't have to pay shipping. Without some sort of bonus there'd be no reason to get it from there.

>>57899026 (OP)
>please bro please just CONSIDER picking the pear or the pig
no
and I'm not buyin the game neither

>>57899026 (OP)
Pre-order rewards have existed since gen 2

I still use the Palkia stylus I got with Pearl. It's way more comfortable than the ones that come with the console.

>>57899026 (OP)
But anon, plushies!

>>57902174
I never had any of these but the Giratina figure looks sick

>>57899026 (OP)
They just want to get rid of all their left over tepig and chikorita stock.

>>57899233
Wydeer is great. Skill swap AND intimidate.

>>57902174
I bought my gen 4 games on release day without knowing about the pre-order bonuses, so I felt incredibly sad when I picked up Platinum and found out by seeing another person be handed this sweet Giratina.

>>57899825
The smell

>>57899177
Probably true.

>>57901464
so nfe's can't be shillmons?
