Does the expression tech demo exist in any context beside PLA?
I never saw anyone using it ordinarily, but when it comes to PLA it’s like everyone learned the expression yesterday and wants to show they are in he known
>>58173799
It's a cope by Pokefags who expected PLA to fail when in reality it was the first game to be widely hyped since either XY or ORAS, and the first game to actually be good since B2W2.
>>58173799
PLA is just one of the most potent forms of "tech demoing" in recent history. Even the way shills defend it is by saying "Well it's empty and there's no content...B-But it has new features! It's called a step in the right direction, Chud!" Meanwhile any time you question where are all the Pokemon, moves, items, postgame, online features and so on, shills try to derail the conversation from
>>58173968
No but you see ackshually Japanese Red and Japanese Green and Japanese Blue and Japanese Yellow and Overseas Red and Overseas Blue and Overseas Yellow are JUST ONE GAME and sold multiple times over PLA so PLA FLOPPED because absolutely no one buys multiple versions and you cannot prove otherwise.
>>58173799
It's just a couple of sinnohtards still mad Game Freak decided to make Legends instead of remaking their shitty game, they can't decide if Legends Arceus is an irrelevant side game with no relevance for the franchise or a tech demo for future games.
>>58173794 (OP) >she couldn't tell it was tech demo after seeing the only new thing in the game was a roll button in return for empty fields, a dex smaller than gen 2, simplified combat, no online, and a trans genie that replaced the battle frontier
grim
>>58173988
Yeah, that's how companies work, they treat them all as one SKU where applicable (which is why Japanese pokémon boxart is used to announce worldwide sale totals). Japan sold 3 different SKU's, the west two, thus they used data from RG and B in Japan and RB in the west to get 31m. Yellow got folded into Special Pikachu edition leaving 14.6m. L: A sold 15m, spergy autistic children have had the fuses lit on their tampons since as their ebin predicktions died on their arses.
And that still ignores L: Z-A is ALSO a tech demo for urban environments, still got this autistic shitbag pointing out its shortcomings >>58167443
>>58174002 >going all your way to link another thread with a texture fuck up
Way to prove you are just a salty faggot with a personal vendetta against any Legends game kek You could almost look like a honest guy but you had to add that one line to expose yourself huh?
>>58174018
I have no strong dislike for pokémon, let alone the Legends series though kid. I'm just pointing out how it's clear it's a tech demo, given L: A was to get used to building open landscapes and SV went open world and both were developed alongside each other and L: Z-A focuses on an urban environment, restricted to one cityscape and developed alongside Gen 10. The reasons are clear, they want to make the urban settlements better for Gen 10, so spent a 2 year dev cycle on a tech demo for building them. Didn't stop me ensuring I'd have my copy when it launched.
>New top 100 ranking of Japanese people’s favorite games >literally every Pokemon game listed except PLA
lmfao, this shit's only popular with contrarians on shitholes like /vp/

Can I upgrade the normal Switch version to Switch 2? I'd rather not buy the Switch 2 version because of the horrible cover layout but you just know that the version for the old Switch is going to run like absolute shit.
>>58175100
I don't understand you shills. One minute you're claiming it's a random spinoff so it's okay that it has no features, and the next your claiming it's one of the highest sellers with 70 gorillion sales and peak Pokemon.
>>58173799
it's a real term and usually refers to games like that wheelchair basketball game for the Switch 2 which is pretty much just made to show off the mouse capabilities of the new joycons
but in this case it's just autistic /vp/ spergs trying to force memes as usual
>>58173990
But they did remake their shitty game, BDSP exists.
What they're REALLY mad about is that it wasn't an ORAS style remake that brought back Mega Evolutions, allowing Infernape to become Ultra Instinct Goku, turn Empoleon into literal Napoleon, and make Torterra's tree into le ebin Yggdrasil.
>>58173794 (OP)
Yes: >Many common moves are missing like Growl and Leer >Important characters like Irida don't even have a entry battle animation >Main game progression based around completing research tasks, very few story battles >Weird elements like moving during battles despite not having any gameplay utility >Pokémon portraits are just screenshots of their default poses
But some complains like the low number of Pokémon are meme complains, 242 is still more than you could obtain without trading between games compared to games like GSC and RSE. The low number of trainer battles is pretty much explained by the games, humans and Pokémon don't get along and only some people have partners, it's just fitting for the setting.
>>58175269
No they didn't, ILCA did. GF didn't even bother with it and outsourced it to others, that's why it was such a shitty play dough version of DP instead of a proper upgrade like HGSS or an actual update and link to the current generation like ORAS
>>58173794 (OP)
I think people cope by calling it a tech demo since its so low quality and pokefags don't want to accept the "best game in years" is still hot garbage.
>>58175664

Holy shit God really tried picking all negative perks for this guy
if you want a real tech demo game, play XY. the whole thing is just a showcase for 3D pokemon. that's why they packed it with old pokemon and recreated all that stuff from kanto.
>>58175764
That's unironically more effort than PLA, which recreated an empty Unity sandbox you can make in 5 minutes and sparsely populated it with Pokemon you've seen for 20-30 years.
>>58175855
Objectively wrong. A sold more than B therefore A is better than B is an absolute braindead retard take. Example: SV is one of if not the worst pokemon game so far.
>>58175891
Incorrect. SV is objectively worse than PLA, worse than BDSP, worse than XY, worse than SWSH - even if i personally don't agree with that, that's fact.
Your subjective opinion is that SV is better than PLA but it goes against objective fact.
>>58173794 (OP) >ok this game is shit but it's just a test for the next one!!!! The next game will be amazing!!!
Been hearing this for almost 10 years at this point
>>58175906
nah sorry, plass was so dumbed down, they tried to make it just a monster catcher and even that objectively failed since it had fewer monsters to catch than games released in the 90s.
BDSP *combined* has 1.1% more sales volume than PLA. Why are you being dishonest and not counting BDSP as 2 separate products competing against 1 product? Even with your dishonesty it's still 1.1%. It's also retarded to start with
No one can actually say anything positive about PLA on its own merits, so it comes down to bickering about sales and whether it’s a spinoff or not. The game is shit and was forgotten 2 months after its release.
You guys misuse tech demo so much. Crysis was a tech demo, a game based on graphics and showing off what the engine can do with limited story and going out of the way to show off what can be achieved for no reason. PLA was more like a proof of concept. Focusing on a single idea just to see how it’s received with minimal or no surrounding features to see how the idea is received.
>>58176340
pretty much
theres a reason why you never see any threads about it, no one does repeat playthroughs, and streamers just shiny hunt in the postgame because it has 0 replay replayability and no worthwhile content. its a meme game
>>58176391
So there aren’t any threads, and anytime this shit game is brought up, it’s entirely for bait purposes because everything it does is lackluster and barebones. Got it.
>>58176448 >OP is about ZA and every post is discussing sales from a shit game hoping ZA doesn't end up like it
Yeah, thanks for pointing that out. I'm not seeing any PLA discussion unfortunately
>>58176452 >ugly as fuck GameCube graphics from 2005 >terrible combat simplified to make it even more braindead than the mainline >post game is literally chasing a pink floating couldman thorugh empty fields
I'd be ashamed if this game represented my country too.
>>58176465 >OP is about ZA and every post is discussing sales from a shit game hoping ZA doesn't end up like it
You're right, I also hope it doesn't end up like a shit game like with 0 discussion
>>58176495
Strange, this ZA thread is discussing sales numbers. Too bad there aren’t any threads up for PLA so you can discuss rolling through empty fields, watching Bidoof use tackle 49 times, or how you stumbled across a Hisui Goodra wearing a shiny diaper.
So since the retard likes to mention sales this much I guess he agrees RGB and SV are the best Pokemon games ever? Since RGB are the best selling games worldwide and SV is second best, first in Japan.
>>58176519
im not sure why plassfag is obsessed with sales. its like the only thing he can shill about his favorite tech demo
"the best singular selling game" kek.
>>58176528
Nope, not this one. This is a ZA thread discussing sales. Go make a thread about the genderbent professor or some shit if you want PLA. But we both know it’ll die in 10 posts though
>>58176529 >pla is so dead, its shills have to invade ZAchad threads with sales discussion because literally nothing else about their tech demo is noteworthy.
grim.
>>58176527
I'm talking about you, retardo, you love to mention Arceus sales to shit on it, so you must defend gen 1 and gen 9 as the best pokemon games since they got the best sales
>>58176527 >obsessed with sales
no u, you bring up sales first without fail with your "le flopped" forced meme >>58176536 >This is a ZA thread
Okay, you're just lost then. Got it, say no more.
>>58176545
you should probably take you medication plassfag. im sorry your prototype has nothing going for it except sales discussion, but that's your fault
and yes gen 1 and 9 shit all over your favorite tech demo
>>58175733
Despite his obsession with trannies the guy isn't unovan, he has outed himself as a frog multiples times by now so yeah god just decided to punish him as many times he could
>58176564
must be sad to know that we have near daily threads for kanto and pla is forgotten slop that can only find discussion in sales threads then huh
>>58176557
I didn't compare SV and RGB to with LA but with the entire rest of the franchise, schizo. Your own narrative dictates RGB and SV are the best Pokemon games ever, correct? Unless you now decide to admit sales don't make a game better or worse
>>58176578 >I didn't compare SV and RGB to with LA
you did in your same post, and yes, I agree, PLAss is a shit game, worse than every other game in the series regardless of its sales.
>>58176585 >he got no arguments left
Holy ESL. Hisui isn't sending their best
Kanto still wins by having more towns, exploration, moves, and battles thoughever
>>58176593
Actually, LGPE pretty much did everything better than PLA. The regionals, the maps, the gyms over gay boss rollslop, the music, the character designs not being literal genderswaps, the postgame.
>>58176612
Nope, Kanto wins, there's at least a dozen thread up about its Pokemon, games, and characters right now. All plass can muster is invading a ZA thread with sales discussion because it has literally nothing else going for it.
>>58176624 >pokemon and stuff
Because PLA has ONLY 20 Pokemon, and practically all of them are just older Pokemon but slightly changed.
Because PLA has 1 single village.
Because PLA's gameplay is doing filler dex tasks to meet the 8 hour requirement.
There's nothing to like or talk about relating to it besides shitposty topics like this.
My favorite part was when the PLA fanboys tried to convince us that shiny hunting counts as content when you literally can just stand in one location and wait for a shiny to appear.
My second favorite part was when they suddenly counted "catching 'em all" as a postgame despite having one of the lowest dexes in the series.
>>58176678
The mega designs they’ve showed off are already much better than the shit they AI generated for Shitsui, so its fine. Slop like pink Landorus shouldn’t have its own dex slot anyway.
>>58176739 >plassfag is now throwing out tranny shit >while defending the forgotten tech demo that’s basically nothing but DEI genderbents
hasn’t even played the slop he loves. it’s just shilling at this point m.

Again, re-read the very first sentence I wrote in that post you replied to. I don't care this is a tech demo, if that's unpalatable to you though, don't buy it. But don't dismiss its whole purpose, just because it's doing the mega dance you love so well, while still being part of a series you've shat on for three solid years.
