Modern Sonic?
Lillie from Pokemon
Perfect example here. I doubt any other post will top this one.
Toadette
Care to define your terminology, professor?
orbbot cubebot zeti and whisp, sonic has a lot not surprising
Rosalina been shoehorn to a lot of games for awhile. Pauline is next probably but shes hotter so who cares
Obviously forced-ass characters that everybody hated was a good one.
Reminder that this gross little faggot almost killed Oddworld
Toadette just now getting her chance in the spot light in years. when my nigga Toadsworth coming back
>not being old enough to get the reference to Poochie
>posting in that smarmy, passive-aggressive twitter style
Came here to say Shadow but modern Sonic also definitely counts.
Fuck you user
Ahhh.
Ok, to be fair, that was extremely rude of me, I apologise for that.
Nero
Donte
Jake from resident evil 6
So basically 2007-2013 era capcom
Nero and jake are completely fine
jake is kinda boring as a character but his gameplay is great
It first aired 22 years ago. There's plenty of kids here who have no fucking idea what this is.
you don't get it
I think Orbot and Cubot are liked enough to escape poochie status
Wisps definitely
Zeti are awful enough but I don't think they've crossed the oversaturation threshold yet (though putting that one red cunt in the racing game is definitely straddling the line)
>These people are legally old enough to browse Yea Forums
Hayley died on her way back to her home planet.
Munch's Oddysee was fine you big gay, Stranger's Wrath followed it and probably did more damage.
Ms. Pauling
>07-13 capcom
nah helena and sherry are both completely fine plus asura
No.
Yes for the pic related
Modern Sonic is no poochie you fucking retards, why the fuck are you saying so? Poochie is "2cool4school" the character. That's Shadow 100%. "Modern Sonic" is ideally just generic Shonen OC.
And you're retarded. Granted if you meant why add him to games like Generations, yeah you can claim that for the "adding for marketing" reasons of the Poochie character, but no actually the character of Poochie.
Also to give OP a real Poochie
The games.
Itchy and Scratchy were never good
HAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Joke already made, retard
nah I'm not buying it, more like by the time munch's and stranger's wrath rolled out the oddworld audience was practically nonexistent
EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT HIS GAME, EVERYONE SHOULD STILL ASK, WHERE'S VERGIL?!
>Joke already made, retard
Doesn't mean I was wrong, though. I actually put that first but then saw the first post and made my response afterwards.
>“One, Poochie needs to be louder, angrier, and have access to a time machine. Two, whenever Poochie's not onscreen, all the other characters should be asking 'Where's Poochie?'”

The Sneed & Chuck, & Janny Show!
Those were fine. Problem was they replaced Tarma and Eri, that was a sin. Thinking about it now, it was so strange for them to make two new charcters when Metal Slug 4 was clearly low budget, reused assets everywhere.
I guess kind of Martin in Oblivion
A shoehorned character in a franchise. Pic related.
I loved Ciri, but I can't argue that.
>there will never be a Simpsons discussion on Yea Forums without Sneed posting ever again.
Literally
i know this feeling well
i grew up watching the simpsons almost every day at 7 pm
but the only person i ever encountered who liked it was my 8th grade english teacher
fucker had a bonus quiz for the how much maggie scans for in the opening
who the fuck is that autistic to know that shit?
Bubsy
Formerly comfy
Overall, anything HW related is impossible to hate.
Shit like this and pretty much everything in chroma squad is why I loathe the entire concept of "put you/your OC in the game" tiers on kickstarters and wish every game that had one had mods to remove all that cancerous shit.
This. So much this.

does Rose hijacking the female lead's spot in Tales of Zesteria count?
true
true
Whats with the hate for her?
Munch's oddysee was competent as fuck.
the amount maggie scans for changed throughout the years actually to very numbers and other references
I don't know anything about Tales but is that related to the Baba thing I keep seeing mentioned? Because if so then yeah probably
At least Shovel Knight didn't cave in to his shitty personality and gave him a bro of a father
Specially in Command.
i know it was a fucking trick question
it was a rigged game from the start
can we go easy on axel? megaman x7 was really fun
yeah, Baba gave a middle finger to a character named Alisha, who was marketed as the main characters, and had some mary sue named Rose take the female lead role and the rules of the world basically bent over backwards for Rose.
Also for
>Obviously forced-ass characters that everybody hated
this guy. At least he grew into a better character after the game he was forced into
It's always been NRA4EVER
i don't care why you're here. to talk about video games, anime, or politics
watching the first 10 episodes of the Simpsons should be mandatory
Seriously? He was just a new villain for a new game and wasn't even that important.
sneed
Japan hated her so much that not only did the ratings for the third season of the Yo-kai Watch anime go down when she was introduced, but all the backlash effectively got her written out of the show almost entirely. She was basically a forced character the creators had that replaced the former female co-protagonist, and was the second main protagonist of Yo-kai Watch 3. She's an incredibly eccentric and hyper-active otaku character, and whenever she makes mistakes or gets in trouble, her pal Usapyon is usually the one that receives the punishment. I've heard that she's far more annoying in the anime compared to the game, but Japan really doesn't like otaku characters I think, and forcing a young girl on a show aimed for young boys probably didn't help.
No, Poochie is introduced to a stale series that is losing interest from people so they add a new character to try get people excited again, but is a marketing led creation of trying to be cool and hip for modern audiences.
I only got to beat Chroma Squad once due to having other stuff to play at the time, who were the ''put your OC'' in the game chars? Tammy and the random guest chars that popped up in some missions out of nowhere?
>let's remove most of the side characters and focus mostly on Sonic!
>now let's add in some obnoxious flying dog thing that's always there, contributes nothing, and has an ear grating voice no matter the langauge you use!
What's your point? He was still extremely forced and hated
This
>megaman x7 was really fun
Been a long while since I played but I remember it feeling like every NPC you ran into was one of them with how they talked and acted. I know the Gavan-type guys that showed up almost every third mission were, along with a lot of the characters you could pick for your team. It was just way too many of them way too often for my tastes.
People get mad that he still shows up sometimes for some reason.
10 seasons
I feel that's pretty fucking autistic. Lost World wasn't even that bad of a game.
i hate the wiiu

But if everyone could find a place in their hearts for the little reploid that nobody wanted, I know we can make them laugh and cry until we grow old together.

But people actually like Rosalina, user and Pauline's just as old as D.K and Mario.

Explain yourself
but japs love him
Live and let live
Your behavior is heinous
But her doujin was tops
Not really, people shit on Sonic´s games but they still like the character.

this guy STILL makes my blood boil. he's legitimately the only thing that makes me hesitate from replaying specter of torment.
thankfully the whole specter of torment campaign has infinitely more redeeming qualities that make it worth playing but this guy is a fucking DOUCHE
Would still fuck
He is like a Chris-chan with money
Wrong, Vfujo. Everyone expected Vergil especially after DMC4SE . V is only saved from being poochie cause the summons had to carry his boring ass

Brilliant
Raiden? Only introduced into MGS2 to get Japanese teens to like Metal Gear.
Characters in video game franchises? Or video game franchises themselves?
If we're talking about an unwanted franchise that inexplicably exists despite the fact it seems like everyone hates it, I'm gonna have to go with Assassin's Creed. Really hasn't been good since the beginning, I have no idea how they milked like 20 games out of it
>>stupid edgy color palette
I like red, yellow and black. I guess I'll be forever stuck with shit taste
OP here. I mean the characters.
his original color palette is alright i guess
i was talking about this shit
AXL in megaman X
Normies love that shit.
Button = awesome mechanics, big open world with millions of non-challenging challenges, and genuinely interesting settings (which are fucked over the pants-on-head retarded writing).
knuckles in sonic 3
It didn't have to be this way.
>Tfw BL1 gets a ton of flak for all of BL2's and PS's mistakes
The only game I've played was the first one and I have to admit that I liked it. I know people here might argue the first one was alright, but I constantly hear the "was never good" shit.
He was avarage in X8, don't know about command mission
What's the vidya equivalent of ''Steamed Hams''?
Both literally and figuratively
That's a fucking shame, for sure.
I have 0 faith in BL3 tho
Battle Frontier Project
remember how people kept saying Crash was poochy when it was still exclusive?
You win good sir Tom Nook was robbed
I'll hold my opinions until we see an actual trailer, but I won't hold my breath waiting for it.
She was fine in the comics at first, but she gradually grew into lukewarm reddit bait. Her ridiculous jawline also bothers me since she originally had an oval face that worked for the character.
Seeing her gallivanting around in STBlackST vids always warms my heart however.
Sad to see 64fags still seething after all these years.
They will never top Fio
>Tfw my edit gets saved and posted
Based
64fags deserve the rope
Not a surprise it's you.
I'll eventually start name dropping you and your peers.
I know you're joking but he has been pushed a lot in Yoshi lately. Not to mention literal scrappy doos in his kids.
What's my name user?
I predict a cringe-fest to end all cringe-fests. I refuse to believe Gearbox is capable of learning of past mistakes.
So you're saying he's proactive?
no he's not that makes no fucking sense
poochie is a test group new and edgy character that spits in the face of everything the original was known and loved for
Isabel is literally a side-character in a franchise that's otherwise completely intact
zoomer
a poochy is a character shoehorned in to appeal to an audience that doesn't exist, solely to sell something, they don't fit at all and are given way more time and effort than other characters because the team wants to force the character to succeed
for example, incineroar
not to be confused with a "lightning", which is a character that one of the writers obviously wants to fuck so they keep shoving them into everything, almost like a mary sue but for waifus instead
lillie happens to be both a poochy and a lightning
Not as much of a poochie as this bitch
I'm absolutely convinced that woman was based off a real person, and that she's the same USELESS CORPORATE HEN that they're talking about in pic related.
Based Joe Murray.
NRAForever this is simple trivia faggot.
This is also why Micaiah is hated. Ike faggots and fujos hate her.
Jesus fuck I'm so sick of Vergil he was a badass when he was just in 3 and 1 shows his fate but Vergil should have never come back.
You're wrong. It was a frayed and incomplete story element that felt extremely unsatisfying to have left where it was.
Yeah saying that in 2019 after classic coke was brought back.
Nero was widely regarded as THE biggest video game Poochie of all time until Tameem shat the bed so hard DMC fans would have sold their left nut for one mission of classic DMC gameplay, no matter the protag.
Axl was fine. People would be fine with him if it weren't for the fact that he was introduced by the abomination that was X7.
Hey dude I think you dropped your tinfoil hat
It was literally his game though. How the fuck did you miss it?
>You're wrong.
I'm not. Vergil suffered his downfall because he relentlessly chased power while leaving what he was trying to protect alone, without his protection. It was a fitting end for a power obsessed man who rejected his human side.
Dante was living as an example of what Vergil could have been.
Bringing Vergil back shits on that hard.
When I was watching Pat and Woolie play through DMC4, that was me seeing the story for the first time.
Nero's fine. You're exaggerating.
>But people at the time
Well it's not a democracy.
Garrus Vakarian appearing as the Archangel.
FUCK THAT GUY.
SA-55/Orbot and Cubot are actually the only decent thing to come out of the new era though.
>I'm not.
Ya huh.
>All these other words here
Y'know, if decisions were up to you, Trish and Lady would've been killed permanently in their original games just because that seems like the proper and climactic thing to do. To give Dante PURPOSE or some shit.
I'm glad not everyone thinks the way you do.
It literally is though. And even if it isn't, someone who actually watches other people play video games sure as hell isn't relevant.
Note: Shadow died on the way back to his home planet
>Trish and Lady would've been killed permanently in their original games just because that seems like the proper and climactic thing to do.
What the fuck? No. Quit being a child. Vergil having constant "get out of jail free" cards is a cop-out.
un-based and cringepilled
>It literally is though
No it isn't.
This bitch and her shitty team ruined the series.
Fuck you Starfox 64 will always be the best star fox commercially, socially, technically and with reviews. Fuck the legend of zelda furry edition with cheap sounds.
They will never come back with the style
He didn't exactly get out free.
i was expecting this, thank you user.
>hating on Garrus
Shit taste my dude.
Starlow was just supposed to be a funny side character but then they decided to make her the voice of the brothers instead of letting their actions explain their feelings, and I hate it.
Post the mods
He was fine in the original game.
Just a little shit throwing boomerangs and jumping around like an autist.
Everyone who isn;t Zero gets the shaft as usual.
He gets a cool moment in the chapter he's introduced in though.
A character being shit doesn't necessarily make them a Poohcie
Correct. But there are some very good examples of Poochies ITT
At least in specter of torment they write that OC as incompetent and the reason specter loses his soul. So now everyone one hates him.
Here's your first mega pokemon bro, just ignore that gen 1 starter with a megastone you've had the whole game
character you don't like != poochie
>get's stabbed by fug
>is now stuck in a wheelchair after surviving fug's sheer hatred of her
The manga is on point as always
That was a fake answer from one of the episodes, iirc.
The actual answer is she would scan for the cost of raising a baby over the course of a year, which I am not crazy enough to remember what number they used for the first many seasons before they began to keep it updated.
>actually using that starter
Take that back you fucking vagina loving faggot.
Eh, no. Lucario really doesn't belong in the Poochie category. Not in X/Y at least. If anything, Charizard and Greninja were Poochies. Even if people like them
Lucario has been pushed harder by Gamefreak than any pokemon besides Pikachu
Lucario is pretty much poochie
he's even a dog. Zoroark and the other ones afterwards even tried to copy his radicoolness
this fag and every other OC characters they've added after vanilla ff7
it's only in X7 and maybe ZXA (if model A counts) where he's an issue, he's fine in X8
Who were the other ones?
If Pikachu is Itchy then Charizard is scratchy you stupid zoomer
It should've been Stuffwell, damn it. He has a reason to stay with the bros after one game. Starlow is just a useless tag-along.
Krystalfags don't have anything to be smug about over SF64
Meowth is Scratchy, you literal retard
and? you imply he doesn't have an audience?
you do realize part of being a poochie is that it's also a failed attempt right? and that he received negative recognition right?
He's in Forces and the upcoming racing game even though absolutely nobody likes him.
Vorgil coming back doesn't bother me so much as his original (As in the character that he was introduced as) Nelo Angelo form was flushed down the toilet just because the uncorrupted version presented in 3 made girls moist.
>manga
>canon
Edgy shit.
A poochie is a character people don’t like that gets pushed anyway, not any character that shows up a lot.
Too bad, user.
Me and my friend watch classic Simpsons and Seinfeld every time we hang out.
Shit's cash.
Zoroark was the first attempt to recapture it but japanese kids thought it was scary and it wasn't 'badass' the way they portrayed it
Lyanroc (especially midnight forme) is the more subdued version that likewise missed out, the gen between those 2 was just more Lucario because of its mega
>and? you imply he doesn't have an audience?
Not compared to Pikachu, Charizard, Mewtwo, Snorlax, Eevee, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, greninja, mew, lugia, heracross. jigglypuff, meowth, etc
Nigger isn't even a top hundred pokemon if you ask anywhere that isn't a furfag convention
Rosalina is cool shut up.
>dawn brigade gets no development in favour of giving micaiah MORE screen time
>magical abilities to see the future
>cute animal companion
>has a power unique to her that NOBODY else can use
>can see the future
>is a genius tactician
>everyone loves her for no presentable reason
>is a snowflake Branded
>is secretly the heir to the begnion throne, secret sister to the illegitimate empress
>"Ike faggots and fujos hate her"
she's literally worshipped by the time part 3 starts.
key reason being that you != whole people, also that the push is a failure
Lucario's audience is/was mostly the ~12 year olds that the focus group was aiming for, though; either that or weird furries that don't count
>Lyanroc
Are you sure? He was so forgettable compared to Zoroark and Lucario.
...user, Lucario always tops general polls aimed at children
this fucker right here
Holy shit every single character in Crisis Core is insufferable as fuck. It's so disgustingly tone deaf and it's littered with "have your cake and eat it too" moments. We didn't need an entire fucking origin story for Cloud's starting weapon that you use for a few hours until you steal a Hardedge in Shinra HQ.
so basically he has an audience then, and not something like poochie. also "focus grouping" is a retarded viewpoint especially with him. when they showed him kids love him, so they pushed him. if he failed they simply move on, see zoroark as a shining example.
Has a game Poochie suffered an undignified / humiliating treatment / death on the games after the one he/she was pushed?
>"Whenever Marie isn't on screen, everyone else should be asking 'Where's Marie?'"
>this actually happens a few times in the Golden anime
Every time you think Fire emblems created the worst character ever, they rehash that exact same character and somehow make her even worse.
Shouldn’t Poochies not work? A lot of these examples people gobble them up unlike Poochie that everyone hated
>B-But Fates was the best selling Fire Emblem game! That meant people loved it!
>We're talking the original dog from hell
>You mean Cerberus?
After ten years of sustained shilling any other pokemon could too
They don't work.
They never work.
But marketing suits need to hit those demographics and they're way too busy to bother with things like "flowing narratives" and "artistic integrity."
It has 3 whole formes and an anime arc about its special middle one
Sort of like Greninja getting special treatment too
user he was liked immediately when he came out, as I said GF abandons things that aren't liked easily
again, just because you don't like it doesn't mean the general audience doesn't
That's relative.
On one hand Marie definitely didn't work.
On the other Yumi pretty much became the reason why the Japanese bought the Senran Kagura games.
Yeah, people itt are retarded and think that because their insular autistic fanbase hates something that means everyone does. There's a couple actual poochies and then dumb shit like Lucario that is actually popular.
No most of the characters is this thread are characters people personally don’t like. There is no scrappy tier character in here that has a hand in ruining something.
Amazing how Squeenix managed to do this with two characters in a fucking row.
>Smash was already in development and dropped Mewtwo for Lucario in the +/-1year gap between their releases
They anticipated it
>the Golden anime
It was literally just about her.
starlight glimmer
Yumi is very popular though so she's not a Poochie, but a Lightning.
DIE YOU DEGENERATE BARNEYFAG
nadia is cute. but taking out fio and tarma was a mistake
that's not how it works, there's no report of mewtwo being "dropped"
Nice porn but what an awful concept for an original character.
Whenever Hau isn't on screen, everyone else should be asking 'Where's Hau?'
>Masahiro Sakurai himself stated that there were several more characters planned to be included in Brawl, but were cut due to time constraints
i hate it
>ywn turn into a squirrel to hide between Bayo's tits
This can't be right. I always forgot this motherfucker existed until he appeared again.
i like starlight, but everyone else complains and calls her a poochie so... i guess she is applicable to the thread.
that's not dropping a character for another
Good. You opened this message. This isn't actually asari military command. They're busy tending to what's left of their planet.
So you survived our fight on Thessia. You're not as weak as I thought. But never forget that your best wasn't good enough to stop me. Now an entire planet is dying because you lacked the strength to win. The legend of Shepard needs to be re-written. I hope I'm there for the last chapter. It ends with your death.
-KL
At least the point of her character is she cannot live so she has to die. She's out. And she's not popular to stick around in extended media like say Broly.
Now you want an actual example? Try Fat Buu. Pointless unappealing retarded character who likes food. We got characters that like food in Dragon Ball who are also stupid, but not unappealing. The fact that they kept him alive because of Mr. Satan (who is another Poochie in his own right) doesn't help.
>starlight glimmer
The one I hate is Tara Strong/Twilight Mary Sue Sparkle. Wish Tara Strong would get killed via a car accident.
If you focus development on (a) newcomer(s) instead of an existing character, and then don't finish it because of time constraints and SSE with some instances still in the files that's pretty much a drop
But nobody actually cares where Hau is the entire game. He just shows up and nobody is really pleased or angered by his presence.
tara is mommy and i love her. now she is doing barbra is DC super hero girls, which is just mlp 2.0 because it is lauren faust's NEW show with 6 girl lead characters that have more or less the same personalities as the ponies. :^)
no, that literally just means time ran out.
Isn't it in reference to the audience, not the in-world characters?
I haven't played SM but still
eh loki was okay
the plot was mostly about him and it was made very clear early on that he's utterly insufferable
bayo also refuses to put up with his horseshit
>"He's like the GTA playerbase as a character! He's so fucking wacky and badass, he kills a character people actually like on-screen!"
how come a clearly defined term is somehow turned into "character I hate"
t. 64fag
Absolutely nobody loves 90% of the Sonic cast, yet they always show up anyway. It's no big deal, it's not like they're cluttering up the roster of actually good games.
I fucking hate idolshit so damn much
Poochies tend to be admired or talked up by other characters, seize the spotlight unnecessarily, and derail plotlines just to show how cool they are. Honestly the worst Hau gets is being talkative during the times he's on-screen.
Krystal is a good example of a Poochie, because she changed the entire team Star Fox dynamic, was the lone female, and is an unnatural colour too. Plus she has special powers.
Another good example would be Shadow the Hedgehog.
She was cool but they cheapened her by turning her into spin-off fodder
I wouldn't call her a Poochie though since at least at first people liked her
Ike is twice the poochie Micky is.
imagine being this wrong. the japs created the characters and music, but enemy design was all the gajin part of the team, the FX guys. Starfox Snes is the only good game
It's not a poochie,it's a god mode sue.
Nah you're missing important details with that definition.
>New character shoehorned into the franchise to appeal to a new audience.
>Character is an amalgamation of "hip" subcultures that focus groups and market research determined were "in".

micaiah is the entirety of the greil mercenaries tied into one shitty character.
oh no, someone made the exact same shitty complaint others have made for over two decades, whatever shall we do
You have no idea what you're talking about. You're trying to state things you just want to believe as fact.
the og poochie
None of the greil mercs have personality besides Ike and his faggot Soren. Ike is

>Ike gets his dicked suck constantly by all major characters.
>Ike is never wrong
>Ike has no personality flaws
>completely intact
New Leaf did a lot of good things but at the same time it took out a lot of the soul from the previous games. Villagers aren't allowed to be grumpy anymore, because that's not friendly. Resetti, an amusing character who exists to remind you to save, got completely fucking neutered to the point you forget he's in the game at all. Because friendliness sells. And immediately after New Leaf they started cranking out garbage spinoff after garbage spinoff that they openly admitted to only doing so they could sell plastic figures, all of which with Isabelle at the front and center. With AC Switch, I guarantee you that they'll keep going with it to the point it'll be almost unrecognizable from the GC game.
This is the only real answer.
>Ike is blunt and has no mind for strategy, and pisses off human diplomats
>needs soren and titania to basically run the company while he's a glorified figurehead and war general
>Ike is respected as a hero who saved crimea
>Micaiah is worshipped as an avatar of the goddess
If we're being honest.
Shadow is one of the better modern sonic characters though
>pissing off human diplomats gets Ike in no trouble, he mouths off to Sanaki and everyone thinks it's charming. All Laguz royals love him.
>No one cares that Ike sucks about tactics, and he is still treated as a brilliant.
Haven;t played RD but in Path he was mostly a dipshit who only got lucky that his dad was one of the biggest badasses to ever live.
The only time it ever felt really forced is that little loli and she only takes a liking to Ike because he hates stuffed shirts as much as she does (Like that fat bastard with the bird fetish you have to kill)
Katt wasn't part of the team proper, but you're right. Imagine if she weaselled her way onto the team first and became Fox's love interest. Say, in Star Fox 64 or something. People would loathe her just as much.
Also I was under the impression Krystal's psychic powers were given no real explanation (aside from being an innate ability). Andross at least is just some techno-wizard.
>he is still treated as a brilliant
no he's not. He's quite open that his tactician - who, mind you, ACTUALLY STUDIED as a tactician - is the mastermind. SOREN is the one who formulates strategies while ike takes the job of general.
>There will never be a thread on Yea Forums without frogs/wojacks ever again.
Do your part and report the posts for spam.
But is Lightning popular anymore? Lightning's popularity struck me as "new character smell" and being the only new thing to push since FFXV took forever to come out. Since XV came out it seems that she has been shuffled to the same position as Squall, the "the hero from that game nobody likes" position.
I do think pepe can be funny, wojak ran it's fucking course though
Fuck Chip was great, and he is relevant to the story, a far cry from Yacker who ACTUALLY does fucking nothing.
Radiant Dawn ruined Ike. He wasn't the greatest character ever but in Path of Radiance he had a personality and flaws and interactions with others. In Radiant Dawn he's a soulless robot that seems eternally grumpy and has zero relevance to the story beyond being a legendary mercenary.
Radiant Dawn fucking sucks.
Honestly I only report on /a. We need good image filtering software for this website. Since they are all edits of the same stupid fucking things it should be easy to filter them all.
>changed the entire team Star Fox dynamic
Peppy was an old fuck, and decided he would be able to retire if they took on a fresh recruit. He doesn't even leave, he just sits on the ship now. Admittedly she was responsible for the breaking of the team in Command, but nobody likes that game anyway, not even people that like Krystal. Everybody was OOC for the sake of some shitty soap opera drama.
>was the lone female
Would you rather they add two at once in the same game, like with 2?
>unnatural colour
Katt Monroe
>Plus she has special powers
That amount to nothing. She doesn't ever save anybody using her powers like it's the Force or something. Also, Peppy had precognition in the SNES continuity.
$847.63 which was how much it cost a week to raise a baby in 1989.
>a week
that cant be right
>One, Lightning needs to be louder, angrier, and have access to a time machine. Two, whenever Lightning's not onscreen, all the other characters should be asking 'Where's Lightning?'”

They put that in a single episode to piss off Matt Groening by calling him a far right gun lover.
I wasn't alive for the live airing of the Dick Van Dyke Show but that didn't stop me from watching it.
yeah I know
The "we got it, Nomura, you want to fuck Gackt, we got it" character
I know she was mostly bullied and forgotten in-game, but I had a feeling creators expected us to like her
>people do not use cartoon characters as role models, and television shows should not teach lessons.
Wisdom.
she's japanese Lisa Simpson, almost
The shitty phone games were more imposing in 3 than Xion was imo.
Always morally correct whilst sabotaging other people being successful and has 0 consequences for her actions or treatment of others?
So... shoehorn. Got it.
Jake is actually not that bad and he's well written enough
I was born in the 90s but that didn't stop me from watching Charlie Chaplin, El Chavo, 3 Stooges, Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry
I still don't understand the sneed joke
What the fuck was the obsession with her?
>Garrus
>>Poochie
I hope you choke on your own blood, Garrus is bro tier
There is no joke. It's just an amusing little subversion. You see the name "Sneed's Feed and Seed" and think that the business was named as such because it rhymed with the owner's name, but then you see it actually used to belong to Chuck, so the fact that it was later acquired by Sneed is merely a coincidence.
Alternatively, you could think the joke is that under the former owner Chuck, the original name of the business was "Chuck's Fuck and Suck" to fit the rhyme scheme. This makes little sense, as Sneed would have had to change everything about the store's inventory, marketing, and management. There would be little purpose in buying out Chuck in the first place as their two businesses would not be in direct competition, and such an enormous overhaul would negate both brand recognition and any possible cost efficiency.
The part that gets me is that they chose "Sneed" as a name when there are relatively normal names like Leed and Reed available
Well fuck me then, I think I was over thinking it, thanks for clearing that up
This is amazingly accurate
She even won the Yu-bowl

Pauline deserves it though after being shafted outside of spin off titles. Rosalina was forced on us everywhere after galaxy
Kazumi would be more as she was directly involved in the story and made to be a major character.
Someone at Sega really likes this faggot for them to think he'd be worthy of being a villain on par wth chaos or metal. Not to mention him being partnered with eggman and Metal in that shitty upcoming racing game
then those people should to fuck themselves, zoomer faggot
This user was right about you, kill yourself normalfag trash.
formerly better
I just felt like she was built up to be this supposedly awesome character but she never felt awesome like Ike did. I'm not sure. Maybe I didn't use her enough but I never felt compelled to.
Very much so. Stupid bitch pretty much killed the series
NRA4ever or something like that come onnnnnn
>designed part of a race car clutch lever to have tribute to the simpsons 'put it in H'

Just no. Lightning was a decent protagonist stuck in a bad game, just like Vaan was a god-awful protagonist stuck in a good game.

excuse my sir but i learned to use the VCR, recorded some episodes leading up to a treehouse of horror marathon or something, and would routinely pause the video at this point per my fathers request.
>get bent
Sure nerd
Absolutely based, fuck Isabelle for being shilled and forced since day one and fuck the nu-fans for allowing her to become the series mascot within less than two years after her debut.
mustard chef not wiping the floor with this dude was a travesty
I could see Nero yeh
T. Sidonis
Literally a Marie Sue.
Why do you think this? The whole game seemed to be a change in direction rather than just the MC but it has been ages since I played any DA.
This well-written summary will clear it up for ya
They already sucked the soul out of all the special NPCs in NL. Resetti and Phyllis aren't rude anymore, Blathers is just a donation box, and Sable only exists to unlock the QR machine. This is why I'm both hyped and terrified for the next AC, because chances are they're listening more to the nu-fans who care more about customization than anything else over longtime fans who liked all the new features added in NL but hated how streamlined and dumbed down the characters became.
>we already had megas in 2014
Just fucking off me at this point
Nero
They keep pushing this character for no reason I can understand
Everybody just wants to play Dante but NOOOO have some FUCKING Nero down your gullet you fucking fag
sneed
>t.10% off at hot topic
Literally nobody who actually plays these games (or watched that godawful new anime) likes this boring bitch, including japs
But she's popular in merchandising so she's the main character now.
Hated maybe, but that's the point. Starting off with a bang as Snake and then finding yourself stuck with this weird Raiden guy for the rest of the game was a very deliberate move. But it wasn't to "force" a character for the sake of being cool. It's a deliberately chosen element of the grand finale philosophical mindfuck "gotcha" at the end of the game.
If you think Raiden is a Poochy then you don't understand MGS2.
Does Zero count? I mean people love him and his whole character X was "That cool guy you were supposed to surpass" but every game up until X8 paints him as a speshul snowflake who is literal X's protoman and not only that but retconned into having the true free will that only X is supposed to have.
I'm not counting the gba version because of the third game twist that basically knocks him down a few pegs
Athena Cykes for Ace Attorney

Will technically Shadow doesn't have a homeplanet since he was born on a space station.
fucking this. rayman legends would've been a 9/10 game if not for this forced piece of garbage. as it is it's just a 7/10 while origins is a 9/10
FUCK murfy
I want to fuck her so she's a good addition
Cringe. Have sex
Never heard of him.
Gimme a quick rundown
Black woman with afro. Hell, she even went cross franchise.
OC donut steel created by some autist with A LOT of money. If a Kickstarter has the option to add your own character to the game if you donate enough money he will be there.
>quick rundown
reize seitlan is an OC Donut steel of a rich korean kid whose parents fund any kickstarters that he can pay to have his OC put into. said OC is generic Mc. shonen protagonist who wields two boomerangs and thinks girls are icky.
if you google reize seitlan you can drop down a rabbit hole of pure autism.
Ours was the Spongebob generation user
Seeing them completely take over the DoA series in the span of a few years has been surreal
>he hasn't come around to Sneedposting yet
classic simpsons threads being dead is a shame, but it's either sneed or new episode discussion. You really wanna talk about Bart fighting the patriarchy with Yea Forums?
God you guys clearly don't even know what a fucking Poochie is. Isabelle is legitimately popular, they aren't a fucking Poochie if they're pushed as a mascot and it works.
>X series was actually a game for inafune's Donut Steel, Zero
>Capcom inserts X because they thought it would become too alien for fans
BUSINESS DECISION
I can't deal with how Yea Forums calls one of them Chuck. Why would he still be at the fucking store???
I thought the guy who made Reize was black. Maybe that was another OC like that.
>but it's either sneed or new episode discussion
Now that's a false dichotomy. Before the forced meme that is sneedposting, people on Yea Forums didn't discuss the new episodes aside from deriding them as utter shit.
It was such a fucking joke when hanging out with her was just every other party member swinging by and saying how awesome she is. I didn't feel shit when we had to fight her
>Mei.png
but that's Haruka
Nice "ummm okay sweetie" tier post you zoomer shit
Poochy is literally in Mario Odyssey so he's fucking ready for Mario Party Kill me edition.
apollo justice is more of a poochie in 6 than athena is
Maybe nu-Sonic, but the real modern Sonic (1998-2009) had soul
Well she's a poochie to the real AC fans
Yeah but lucky is a literal weeaboo
Why would Ike fujos be threatened by her when she doesn’t get in the way of the popular Ike ships?
Ubisoft and modern Rabbids
Adventures more than justifies her existence. A Poochy is someone blatantly shoe-horned into the main cast.
you just described the Dante from Ninja Theory
>some tribal girl who has never seen technology or anything similar in her life
>suddenly wants to join a space-faring, futuristic group of mercenaries because she "got rescued by some other fox dude"
Krystalfags are THIS delusional. She's o thing but fap material and a one dimensional love interest.
>does literally nothing the entire game
>gets rescued and continues to do nothing
>goes "haha I'm a starfox now" at that end
The only fucking contribution Krystal made to SFA is being the technical owner of the stick Fox used in the game
Everyone in Star Fox is one-dimensional.
Owning the staff that Fox used automatically makes her more useful to Fox than 99% of anyone in that universe. Hell, that makes her more useful than Star Fox itself in that game.
>some tribal girl who has never seen technology or anything similar in her life
Her planet got blown up, she had to get to dino world somehow. There's nothing that says she's a barbarian savage. She was going native like Pepper tried to make Fox do.
>suddenly wants to join a space-faring, futuristic group of mercenaries because she "got rescued by some other fox dude"
>"Hey all my shit got blown up, can you guys give me a lift?"
>"Oh, you get hired to help people for money? Maybe I can join you, I have nothing better to do seeing as my planet got blown up by the monkey head man you just killed"
>Everyone in Star Fox is one dimensional
Pigma, James and Peppy beg to differ.
>hey I live in a world full of dinosaurs and/or a tribal world full of whatever the fuck because it's never stated
>nah let's go to space!
Lars in tekken
If you want to compare them to literal Poochies then Akuma would be closer, but Chloe definitely reeks more of Creator's Pet Character
>not Lars in fucking Ninja Storm
Correct
neck urself my man
I'd say Lars is more.
Actually, just remembered Jinpachi.
I think she still works well, specially when you see how much shit she actually gets from both Helen and Saxton.
>but taking out fio and tarma was a mistake
They never dared to take out Fio. It was Eri who was replaced.
I don't like Krystal too but she was from a technological planet. She even came out from a ship.
I was just thinking this earlier today.
Yeah that's not how poochie works.
What game?
Yeah, probably.
Where?
Her back story iirc
The ending. You think she docked Fox's ship on a dead pterosaur from Space or something?
Even before Other M it was too much hearing Samus wax on about this guy.
>That PERFECT Military mind
>The guy who tried to lock you in a room 20 minutes ago on orders of treason
Where is it stated that that ship is from her home planet and not an stolen ship from that general guy from the game?
Hurk in Far Cry, don't know why but every time he rocks up in a game I get kind of annoyed by his one-note character.
However he was brilliant in Far Cry Primal.
Fucking based. Murakumo is the only redeemable thing about Gessen and even then only barely.
I was born in 1999 but I still like to take a shit in the woods like my ancestors did
Every other atlus remake slut too
Yeah Seizui is black
Does this thing have a name, personality?

I hate his design, he reminds me of the Gen V Genies from Pokemon

Her and Marie Rose
The manga was a mistake
I don't hate Lucario in general but I do hate and Lucario is basically the mascot for all non Gen I mons
Trevor was embarrassing but a Poochie? I dunno. He was never really forced. Retards just ran off with him
Tails gets Trolled non ironically has the best incarnation of Shadow
That tit to waist ratio.
Is it on purpose that she looks like Serah?

Seething anti weeb
Wrong MK character kid

SJWs.
Here's your new Star Fox
YOU are the Poochie of this thread, mang.
Every character in XIII was awful. She didn't stand out.
I'm still angry.
this guy
>Game about your family focuses its plot about NOT your family
>Meanwhile you family start becoming black all of a sudden despite your ancestors being whiter than snow because you have too much STR compared to your INT
That was quite a ride.
Don't talk about Oliver like that
So it's okay for him to be shit and forced?
Nah.
Well fuck me because growing up I'd always emulate character traits that I deem cool and want to be a part of me.
And now you're an adult posting on Yea Forums.
And my life has been far less than spectacular so far. My brother told me not to idolize fictional characters but I was already 31 by then.
Millenom girl and fafnor nite don't count aren't le remake girls, they aren't part of the normal story
Based classicchad
*ahem*
Fuck moderncuck virgins!
>furfag saying that
Ironic
I'm not even really upset about this but I remember a friend of mine who was curious about the series asking me shit about it:
>hey I'm interested in these DoA girls
>oh so which one, Ayane, Kasumi Hitomi etc.?
>nah I only know that Marie girl
Granted, he's a lolifag but he didn't even know who Kasumi was.
I feel like Krystal had harder to fall than your typical "poochie" character.
See, where characters like Jar Jar Binks and Shadow were always dumb poochie characters from the get go, Krystal was actually once intended to be something: she was supposed to be the co-protagonist of Dinosaur Planet along with Sabre.
Then the game got warped into a Star Fox title and her role was diminished and her character development was completely thrown out the window and thus was reduced into the bland furry bait we know today. It's actually pretty tragic when you look at it that way.
>Character is legitimately popular and well liked
>Yea Forums calls her a "poochie"
huh

>no one has said Makoto from Persona 5
I’m disappointed, Yea Forums.
At the end of the day it still would've been a mediocre 3D Zelda clone, it's not like Dinosaur Planet would've gone on to be a booming franchise under Microsoft. She'd be remembered as an obscure one-off waifu.
Retard
>She'd be remembered as an obscure one-off waifu.
Still a better fate than becoming the face of Star Fox's decline and a punching bag for its fanbase (what's left of it at this point anyway)
Eh, not really. The Poochie (or Poochies) of Sonic would be the Wisps. Zavok as well if you count villains.
>Ohh, SPOILER ALERT
He got overshadowed by edgebro
I liked him in X8
He's good in gen 4. In XY being handed Lucario is actually the point where the game shits the bed and goes from looking like it could be the best pokemon game yet to the worst entry in the series.

Sorry buddy he's right up there
XIII should have made the black guy the lead character
