POKEMON GEN 8 CONFIRMED

The Pokemon Twitter account has been posting travel guide-esque videos of each region and tagging them with #PokemonDay

My money is on a direct announcement Tuesday and a reveal on Wednesday.

They usually do countdowns for Pokemon Day, even if it means fucking nothing.

I think you mean gen 4. Emerald and Platinum were the peak of the series.

Anyone that disagrees with this is factually wrong.

How was it not confirmed already?
we knew it was in development.

nerd

It was confirmed, we're just getting an announcement. Hopefully a full fledged trailer, and not just what they're doing with the rest of the regions.

i'm hoping that new game in the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series gets revealed in the livestream.

A game where you can visit all the regions would be great on the switch. The instrumental songs are really nice. Sorry for trying to be optimistic and say nice things about this. I know people come to shitpost but that was actually wholesome for me

>pokemon got bad at [last gen I played]

Attached: Fuck_Off_Spray.jpg (640x743, 76K)

haha get fucked idiot

I think its more likely we will see those as dlc expansions for let's go pikachu and evee.
or at least i hope so.

Why would they do DLC when they can just make a new game that's guaranteed to print at least 5 million in sales?

Oh no! I didn't even think about this. Now thats a grim view for the future. I was just hoping we are done with that game for this year. I know Matsuda won't let us forget how right he was and how wrong people actually buying Pokemon games are but to start pissing in our faces this soon? That really makes me feel bad

The peak was GSC. Every since they've been releasing polished versions of the game. They have barely changed ever since.

Why do you idiots still follow Pokemon?
It's never going to change. It's one of the few things that actively despises you for following it.
It's supposed to be for kids, user.

Graduate to a real JRPG.

>Trouble in trumpet town
>Good
Nice try.
Kanto, Johto, Unova are the only good regions.

I absolutely couldn't get into that game, just playing it with a single joycon is alienating. If it has portable controls for the switch, why the hell can't we play with the same scheme on the pro controller?

It will likely be a combination of both if i had to guess.

GSC was the peak of the series, you can not prove me wrong

People can like 2 things user

>Gen 8 to continue the trend of Gamefreak being shit
>Lets Go did well because damn near anything does well if you slap a Pokemon sticker on the title, leaving the potential for Go shit to be integrated into the main series.
>Eventual Sinnoh remakes bound to be just D/P remakes with Gamefreak taking no notes at all on what made Platinum good and the far superior game to D/P (literally just port the fucking dex and I'd be satisfied, desu. Some new megas would be cool. Fuck Z-Moves)
>New Ranger never-ever, series dropped off the face of the earth post-Guardian Signs

At this point I only bother with the series because of my huge childhood nostalgia boner for it. Things aren't looking too good, but we all fucking know I'll happily eat whatever Gamefreak shits out in the hopes it's somewhat decent.

I think Gen 4 was where it peaked, but BW2 are still pretty good and clear steps up from B/W. It's just that, well, B/W 1 weren't so good. They weren't hot-dog shit, but...yeah. Scolipede's some good shit my dudes

I just want something on the same quality as BW2, is that too much?

Sinnoh is good too you fucking bitch

At the very least they should do a Pokemon mystery dungeon for the switch.

>console quality mystery dungeon
Imagine. I still want them to bring back sprites

Swap Unova with Hoenn then put Kanto in decent and you have a deal

sounds about right

there is quite literally nothing unique about kanto, I don't know why you'd put it any higher than boring

put alola in it's own tier below boring and you're good

KAAAANTTOOOOOOOOO

Alola was great. Thought it was the first game to have a setting that actually genuinely felt like whatever it was supposed to represent. Loved story elements too. It wasn't deep or anything like that but was surprisingly entertaining and engaging. It also has the biggest amount of best girls in the series.

I've played every single gen besides 1 and B&W games and I genuinely love Alola the most.

Also the anime is great too, first time I was actually able to watch pokemon in years.

Attached: 15422876427.png (396x249, 200K)

I..don't...what?
This is bait isn't it? I hope is bait. the only good part about the alola games were the girls, that's it. everything else was trash I can't comprehend how people can defend those games.

Attached: 1530129354368.gif (230x227, 3.14M)

Alola is weird, it made it linear for the sake of story and it's story is alright but goes too slow for its own good. The remastered version also does nothing to fix this. As a gen it's really hit or miss

The anime's definitely the highlight. And you know, proper region theming.

>didn't play BW2
>thinks Gen 7 is the best
checks out, atleast you're not sucking kantocock

Attached: what the fuck am I reading.jpg (650x600, 75K)

It was the first game besides B&W to have actual comprehensive story with character development and shit. - FACT
Had a shit ton of QoL improvements that make other games almost unplayable. - FACT

Alola may not be the best gen relative to how impressive each title was during it's release period but it sure as hell is the best game overall right now.

Attached: 154023935726.png (198x214, 87K)

Memes aside. Honestly I don't think it'll top BW2. The 3d era of pokémon sucked

>It was the first game besides B&W to have actual comprehensive story with character development and shit. - FACT
You said you didn't play B&W

This is why I gave it a leeway based on what I have heard about it. Was I wrong to do that?

Attached: IMG_2669.png (1200x1200, 56K)

>comprehensive story
Platinum exists and the only character development is Lilie's shitty mommy issues.
>Had a shit ton of QoL improvements that make other games almost unplayable
Even X&Y were better at IV/EVs management shit and has no content unlike B/W 2, platinum or HG/SS, not even talking about the forced plot and handholding shit with LOTS of cutscenes. forward 2 steps back. Sasuga Taimin avatarfag with shitty tastes.

>tfw loved Let's Go and thought it was a breath of fresh air for the series and the best game since BW2
>Despite hating Gen 1 and thinking Kanto is a boring region
>easily put over 100 hours because of how fun Wifi battling was due to the simplicity of it after each gen's wifi battles were centered on a gimmick (Gen 5 weather and genies, gen 6 megas, gen 7 tapus and z-moves)
>only stopped when non-hackers got access to Melmettle due to him being on every team and being difficult to take down using a majority of the Kanto Dex
>tfw cautiously optimistic for Gen 8 after playing Let's Go instead of dreading for the worst after Alola

At best you're getting a lazy Gen 6 or 7 engine rehash with bad performance yet perplexingly marginal graphical upgrades from 3DS. At worst you're getting a lazy LGBT engine rehash.

Either way, expect Game Freak to prattle on about what a giant ambitious hundred-plus-man effort it was, and expect defense forcing surrounding its reveal worse than the Link's Awakening remake.

If you had any hope after LGPE, you're either an irredeemable retard and/or brand loyalist, or you're not paying attention.

The saddest part is that you can actually imagine pokemon becoming the biggest most talked about series in the world once again. All they have to do is make a good story mode and flush all old battle and stat mechanics down the toilet and conjur something semi-competitive or at least on the level of HearthStone with decent match-finding and ranking system.

But they will never ever fucking do that.

The 3ds graphics problem is the 3ds renders it at 240p, unless the trainers look like shit it'll just be an improvement being on an actual console

We didn’t even get the Wii Mystery Dungeon games.

When will you fuckers understand that Pokémon was always a mediocre series kept afloat by nostalgia and the only time the games were any good was towards the end of the DS era, as well as Colosseum and Gale of Darkness.

>all these faggots who don't know what this is from
Thanks OP I jacked off.

bump

>When will you fuckers understand that Pokémon was always a mediocre series kept afloat by nostalgia
but how does that work in gen 1

>post 2
Imagine still buying and playing Pokémon games after Gen 2

Well yeah, the series peaked at Gen V.

That's cool that you enjoyed Let's GO, personally I was not interested since I want Gen 8.

Super deep throat sucks.

I agree with you. Let's Go were much better than the 3DS games ,and it actually looked like they listened to some complaints since they even added a "skip" button, something I thought they'd never do.
