THE NEXT GENERATION OF POKÉMON IS HERE

>create a legendary
>calling it "Ultra Beast"

People were pretty hyped for SM.
They thought gen6 sucked, because it was GF first attempt at 3d pokemon.
So gen 6 was their practice run while gen7 is 3d pokemon for realsies.
Combine that with them switching up the formula after 20 years by removing gyms and people were pretty optimistic.
But we know how it all turned out.

I wish normalfags and grandmas would stop buying this shit
I just want them to realize they are shit devs, and need to improve

AC is copypasted because of laziness, Pokémon is copypasted because a good portion of its mechanics can't be changed without compromising the integrity of the game.

After XY and ORAS I was ready to believe anything was better.

Plus it was a pre-LGPE world.

AND IT'S GOING TO SUCK EVEN HARDER THAN SUN/MOON

I want to believe one more time

the more you believe the harder your soul cracks

This, but I'm clearly not in the market GF wants to cater towards anymore. I'll probably pick it up down the road if my Switch needs some new games maybe.

Not after SM or XY.
Not again.

Won't even consider it unless there are 100+ new non legendary pokemon

you're only saying because they haven't revealed anything about the game yet

Please tell me no one here is approaching this with anything short of the highest skepticism. This series shouldn't deserve hype ever again until it earns it.

no, but some people are retarded and insist they are

Of course we were more hyped for sun and moon. The starters, the characters, the villain team, the rival, and the pokemon reveals were all cool during the time we were waiting for them. Then the game comes out disappointing and after that Ultra Changes truly buried poor Alola.

I know, but I have this sneaking suspicion that I know exactly what will be shown. Game Freak is very formulaic.

>game freak has updated and reused the same engine longer than Bethesda

it's threads like these that reminds me of how incredibly insular of a community Yea Forums is

Sun and Moon's presentation and scripting was such fucking dogshit. Which is a shame, because the setting was fantastic and there are some absolute banger Pokemon designs in gen 7. Just such a waste.

I can't think of anything that could get me hyped thanks to Gamefreak these days

You can pretend they're not, but that's exactly what they are

Are you saying that we're not perfectly aware that normies don't give a shit and will sell the franchise past the point of fixing?

Because that seems like the perfect reason to grouse desu

After LGPE, I'm approaching ShSw as cautiously as possible
If this game is shit. it will be the final straw for me and that hurts to think about

Attached: 1522856418801.png (971x720, 353K)

Sounds like your brain is already soft if lego peepee sparked any form of excitement on announcement

What does GF have to do with SwSh in order to regain your trust? Absolute minimum.

You seem confused, LGPE broke me to point where I couldn't feel hype for any kind of Pokemon game.
SwSh restored only a little bit of faith in me, but not much.

>we
there's that word again

all the same shit, literally trying to form a community around hating post-gen 5 pokemon, pretty sad really

Which is fine because the formula is a winning one.

Cute and lewd outfits for the female trainer.

A DECENT FUCKING POST-GAME

Literally just add back good features that they insist on cutting out every new game

Half a dozen new lines of waifumon
SM set the bar pretty high but I think they can beat it

But really though, you're never getting a softcore porn game out of Nintendo, you dipshit. Same as people who expect THIS Animal Crossing to have T3H SEX0RZ!!!

Honestly I just like to see the designs, especially the starters and female trainers.
The games got boring after the DS era. After playing and enjoying every game and enhanced version before the 3DS games, I ended up skipping ORAS and USUM. XY was ok, but SM was unredeemable.

>next generation
>of pokemon
Pokemon is stuck in console gen 5

you can have...battle clock tower.
[laughs]

>Mewtwo confirmed getting another evotype thing with armored type being a thing
4 different versions of uber fucking why

still better than battle tree even just for the settings

I think I see why GF feels like they don't have to try

Is anyone here going to buy the game?

Post game is all I want because I know better than to ask for anything more

it's because KANTOOOOOOOOOOO

Charizard is getting one too

HG&SS again

>buy LGPE and transfer Charizard and Mewtwo to get their armor forms!
just watch

Already got exactly that in XY, I just want them back. Why are you typing like a 14-year old GameFAQs user?

Because I keep my expectations realistic? Not my fault you ask for the BotW of Pokemon then throw a shitfit when you don't get it.

Large focus on exploration.
No more fucking "friend" characters, I want a solo adventure again
A good post-game
Controllable camera

Less story and cutscenes
Lots of diversity in terms of available pokemon
Be challenging
Restrict handouts of broken pokemon (mega lucario and mega kanto starter in XY, latios/latias in ORAS)
These features should help the games to be more fun and most importantly, replayable.

So real its not even funny

you can keep the combat and the monster collecting as is but change the complete structure of the game to actually make things fresh.

you do not need 8 gyms with linear paths connecting them for a genuine pokemon experience.

last time they tried changing the eight gyms structure people gave em shits

You will have to kill Masuda to get any of these, because he touts the exact opposite in literally every interview

the alolan challenges were not the reason why sunmoon sucked.

They were definitely part of them because they reeked of laziness. Decent concept, but of course, terrible execution

dating simulator but only with pokemon

I'm playing emerald and it's crazy how fun this game is. How did this series go so wrong? Every single gamen since emerald has gotten worse.

when is this actually out?

Mid november, like the last few

I dont think they were any worse than gyms, really.
At least the totem Pokemon got some decent stat boosts sometimes. The concept of a real boss fight Pokemon barely exists in Pokemon, there's just some strong trainers. I guess legendaries are a thing but most of the time you just want to capture them.

With gyms it feels like the gimmicks became more important than the actual gym encounters. That feels wrong to me.

>try sun ultimate
>2hrs in is still a tutorial
>get new pokedex a few hrs in and it wont shut the fuck up literally every 5 steps its going off about something
>npcs that follow you and only let you explore 10ft before they bug you with something to do

the pokedex was eventually the last straw, i couldn't put up with it anymore. sucks i really wanted to enjoy pokemon again.

Hard to feel hyped after LGPE, other than DPP, LGPE was the only mainline gen I've skipped

>literally says "here's some more advice you didn't ask for"

eat shit

>ultra beasts
>pokemon in the same evolution line
>type null
Lol trying too hard. Legendaries have actually been steadily decreasing since D/P.

There was nothing wrong with SM. It was honestly a breath of fresh air given all the new content and mechanics.

But seriously fuck those long, unskippable, ugly pixel cut scenes. Delta Emerald still pisses me off more in that department given you get no saves/heals at all between battling Ray, a 20 minute cut scene, then railroaded into a Deoxys battle.

Nothing. S&M were the last games i'm playing. S&M was so fucking terrible it was the first time in 20 years I had to stop playing a mainline game just a few hours in.

I would rather GF go all in on a puzzle dungeon experience if that's what they want. They could learn from Golden Sun

It really is a shame. I've been replaying GSC a lot lately. I kind of hate how a lot of the pokemon are handled but the lack of story and cutscenes compared to other games makes it faster to play through. It's not like I'm in a rush but GSC has less roadblocks and it feels like I'm not being halted all the time for story. I can just get in, assemble a new team, and play through the game. It's fun playing through the game again with new teams each time, using pokemon I never thought I would. Pokemon shines with more replayability and diversity. It should be an adventure with pokemon first before anything else.
I've tried to replay ORAS again but I clocked out early.

I'm still salty about how hard they fucked up Lusamine in USUM.

I don't think cut scenes are a bad thing, Sun and moon just implemented them poorly. You should generally get at least 20 minutes of uninterrupted gameplay before a cut scene but Sun and moon was constantly interrupting the gameplay. If I just want the story I would just watch the tv show. Let me catch some Pokemon and battle some people for a while before Lillie starts talking about pointless shit.

I know Game Freak is too autistic to let anyone else develop their games but they should still ask Monolith Soft to at least work on world design or something.

Sword and Shield don't look like a console Pokémon game, they look like an uprezed 3DS Pokémon game run in an emulator.

Attached: same console.jpg (2500x1054, 1.11M)

They aren't though. Even in the context of the games they're literally just "normal" pokemon from another dimension (Buzzwole is described as a basic bitch bug, Poipole is a popular starter)

the pacing is fucked

Oh, shut the fuck up, the only time this board ever praises Monolithsoft is when you're using them to shit on Pokemon, the rest of the time you just bitch about their low budget cutscenes and waifushit.

Then again the trailer's already shown it will be disappointing

>anything other than a 1x1 battle has extreme slowdown
Won't be a problem since 99% of fights will be 1 v 1, 1% will be 2 v 2 and GF will again forget triple and rotation battles exist.

Reminder that they had promized a console scaled open world game.

Just put in effort to show that you care about the franchise that you created.
And stop it with the incessant Kanto Pandering. Kalos and Alola barely have an identity of their own because of the whole DUDE, KANTO LMAO!

I think people just need to accept that gamefreaks goal is not to sell as many games as possible. Their goal is to sell merchandise to children. The show and the games both exist to push merchandise on kids. That's never gonna change. The cut scenes won't go away. The cutesy Pokemon aren't going away. The constant shilling of the tv show characters won't stop. They make their money selling stuffed animals, backpacks, pencils, stickers, shampoo and thousands of other things with pikachus face on them to 5 year olds.

Weather changing is only animated when it goes off.

Still have to watch every non immune Pokemon individually take damage from sandstorm and such when its out.

>Everyone takes turns attacking

This isn't how you do a 7 v 1 fight

Routes no longer being narrow corridors with weird grass patches and trainers akwardly standing by the side.
Instead, make them larger and more organic, have wild pokemon visible on the overworld and interact with the environment, and have trainers do their own shit (camping, fishing, petting their pokemon, picking berries...) until they see you and come to challenge you (kinda like bandits in Skyrim).

But we already know none of this will happen as trailer has shown it's the same boring routes as in SM.

I mean that's what happens when they settle into an engine they don't have to do any work in.

people piss on Battle revolution because it wasn't Stadium 3 but it went the extra mile by comparison with animations

>looks like the same architecture since XY
I mean that's what I meant

oh fuck, I misread they don't have to do any work in as they don't have any work in. Carry on

why did you put a photo on the bottom

All of the teams (Adam/Mythra/Minoth, Brighid/Aegaeon/Hugo and finally Lora/Jin) attack together or combo off of one another, notice how Lora kicks Malos off balance so Jin can get close. If they all mindlessly ganged up on him they'd just open themselves to a counterattack, attacking as they do is their best bet to not only create an opening but also protect each-other by switching between vanguard and rear guard (which also reflects how the gameplay works, which is always nice to see in video game cutscenes). They're going up against a continent-buster opponent of which they don't quite know the exact extent of his skills and power, how else would you suggest they tackle him?

I would ask what you were expecting a Pokemon game on the Switch to look like, but I already know you'd give a retarded fucking answer like DQXI or BotW

>How dare you expect a Pokemon game on Switch to look as good as other franchises Switch games???!!!!

why shouldnt it look like those?
especially DQ which has a strong connection with Pokemon.

Well it's improvement

I'd at the very least expect it to look as good as Pokémon XD.

I'm glad that so many people are finally starting to call out the sheer lack of ambition in this series, due to the game literally looking exactly like the previous game upscaled in an emulator.

not really, SM looks better as a 3ds game than SS as a switch title

I'd expect it not to have the same lazy corridor-routes with dumb grass patch and people akwardly standing by the side.
That's the one thing I expected to finally go away once pokemon would move to actual consoles.

>finally
where the fuck have you been for the past 3 years?

How about the fact that those series have COMPLETELY different priorities? Were you asshurt when gen 3 didn't look anywhere near as good as Golden Sun?
When gen 1 looked like, well, a complete mess? That has NEVER been a focus of the series and to claim otherwise is being completely disingenuous.

Ah yes, the game barely anyone legitimately cares about and mostly just uses to compare its graphics to the mainline games.

Zero. Girl will have 0 personality in-game and in the anime she'll be kawaii uguu

Ignore them. They always say shit like this then end up buying it on week 1

Yeah just the Alola map did.

6 and 7 gen barely felt like full generations honestly
like they had some half assessed attempts to build off established pokemon stuff

It's still Masuda's fucking fault

Morimoto: did HGSS and tried shoving in as much shit as he could. Can we put in the battle frontier? you got it bb

Masuda: did ORAS and cut features to do less work by proclaiming that blah blah phones nobody wants to do that content anyways

meant to say "mainline game"
It wasn't a puzzle game, rpg, daily life sim, etc. It played mostly like a normal pokemon game

Well that's disappointing

I thought we'd get something like the regi side quest in Hoenn. Boy was I a retard

I repeat, you said the same shit about gen 6 looking worse than gen 5.

>How about the fact that those series have COMPLETELY different priorities?
there's no reason the move to console couldn't have come with a better visual overhaul, and it was one of the things i think a lot of people were looking forward to in the switch

well, he's not wrong

the point of this thread is to shit on gamefreak dumbass

Right hand side will be accessible for the gym or contest hall or whatever that is. Front and center is the Pokemon league. Left there will be a power outage and you won't be allowed to visit the not!London Eye ferris wheel or the not!Buckingham Palace

Gen 5 didn't because she was too sexy, have a smelly brown girl instead. Gen 7 didn't because Lilliefags. Gen 8 anime will depend on whether or not there's a story integral character that's not you that's a shitty little waifu.

Because they found the winning formula early. After that they just squeezed out as much money from the formula as they can with their cheap tactics. The bubble started to pop around the time they switched to 3D since Gamefreak is clearly better with sprites.

By which you surely mean "Gamefreak is a shit fucking company that can't make games have as deep or exciting as 90% of other developers in the industry"

I remember how I imagined future Pokemon games as a kid. Realtime battles with non linear routes. I wish I could send a picture of this shit to the past

How exactly is reducing the exploration a good thing?

If you can't even properly verbalize what makes for a satisfying experience to you in a video game, your opinion is worthless.

This has literally nothing to do with what I said.

Everyone who played it as a kid imagined future games to be like the anime
The reason why they dont do it now that tech allows it has nothing to do with concept or "art style", it's merely because of laziness

Sun and Moon had the benefit of the doubt due to XY being GF's first dip into 3d and ORAS being a remake. After it, USUM's incredibly shady handling and LGPE there's 0 fucking hope. Not to mention Ohmori is handling it.

you can tell they designed the region without the gameplay in mind with how many brainless roadblocks they put all of the time

>fuck off you have to go to the tutorial area because im trying to fuck this angry japanese bull

I know every game has roadblocks but gen 7 had way more that were super intrusive, and thats on top of the shitton of pointless cutscenes they make you watch.

I wish pokemon would go on to season pass route where they have the most polished game that they can support 3+ year minimum and be lazy as possible to develop contents like releasing region with same engine and adding reoccurring pokemon

Already a pokemon thread up. Or head on over to .

I skipped XY and ORAS, tried SM but dropped it shortly before the legendaries, ignored USUM
It's a shame because I still enjoy a lot of the core elements but the series is completely wasted on the morons at gamefreak, and the fanbase is too autistic for that to change anytime soon

They already had a trailer. Besides, it is possible to enjoy or buy/pirate something that's mediocre.

Shit's fucked up. I'll be surprised if ANY of these gets added.
1.Post game not limited to online battling+a single battle facility, PLEASE, just copy paste whatever you did in the past that was liked, what's so fucking hard
2.Challenge mode back, and without needing to complete the game first to unlock it
3.Don't just focus on single battles, make double battles more common, remember that triple and rotation exist
>Graphics/Engine
1.Make non single battles run not like shit
I'm asking a lot, but pokemon is such in a bad state. New games aren't created by REMOVING features.

So this Pokemon is set in Westeros now?

Pokemon should've unironically stayed top down unless they're willing to innovate on the core gameplay which it seems like they're not. They've tried to shove your basic top down pokemon map layouts and mehcanics into this game and it sucks.

GS is gone and most of the pleople who used to work for them work for game freak now.

>its a /vp/ thread on Yea Forums
Im lookin forward to the new the stuff. Waiting on the next trailer, I hope they don't spoil too much. I enjoyed all the gens somehow , Ill enjoy this.

>but it went the extra mile by comparison with animations
You do know BR's animations were re used from Colosseum and GoD right?

>>literally nothing special about it
It's freaking huge and has a higher BST than the starters, Lapras, and even Snorlax I think
It also used to have the exclusive signature move Extreme Speed

Phione is considered Mythical in-game though.

It sucks because I like that cute forgettable little thing, but I can't even use it in the Battle Tree.

It is sad that we aren't doing it around post-gen 4 instead
too many zoomers

>How did this series go so wrong?
They started placing more emphasis on the story and on marketing appeal. They sacrificed programming and design efforts for the sake of convencience.
Also, they have maintained a 2-3 year dev cycle since the Gameboy years when games have naturally pushed the dev time to become longer to compensate for the increased requirements of technology now. So games are basically rushed.

This. After sun and Moon I'll never be excited for another Pokemon game again.

retards in general are the ones who complain "too much water" when the water has tons of content

>May in C
Nigga you have a stroke or something?

>left
Works well with the art style.

>right
Oh look kids, it's raining dandruff again. And it looks like someone spilled flour everywhere.

>Can't breed
>One per game
>580+ base stat total
>Signature moves
>Overly designed
Yeah totally not legendary

>One per game
hurrrrr

I JUST WANT A HARD MODE GODDAMMIT.
It doesn't even have to be super balls to the wall tough. I just want the game to NOT be completely fucking braindead.

I know this game is for kids and that's fine, but the series is 25 years old, the least they could do to accomodate older players is to tweak a few levels and movesets, how much work could it possibly be, Christ. It doesn't even have to be super fucking balanced. Jesus fuck, this pissess me off so goddamn much.

For gen 7 I think they wanted traditional rpg boss battles then they realized Its a pokemon game and you should be able to capture them. So we got a unsatisfying middle ground of bosses and legendaries. That are fucking hideously designed too.

Z moves are stupid innocuous shit for kids, the effect literally nothing in the grand scheme and are utterly forgettable. At least they weren't the entire focus of the story of their games AND the remakes in their gen, while also completely and irrevocably fucking up dozens of mons' legacies and the series lore so bad they had to canonically split the timeline into pre- and post-mechanic universes.

You get infinite per game, they aren't legendary.

Pokemon is honestly a low-tier franchise not only in terms of Nintendo but JRPGs as a whole.

i hear what you are saying, but the series has to remain accessible to kids since they are the main demog of handheld consoles. Though i'd love if they had AT LEAST an option to skip basic tutorials like catching pokemon or "this is a pokemon centre"
hard mode in pokemon is a weird thing, the only game that did it right was emerald with the battle frontier

I think mega evo is a cool concept, it should've been contained to underpowered mons though, as a leveling tool, instead they made the already strong pokemon even stronger. I can understand gen 1 starters of Mewtwo to cash in on nostalgia, but what was the point of giving a mega to fucking Salamence or Tyranitar?

>I hope they don't spoil too much
You know they will. We have to know every single mon, all of the gym leaders, every major story beat, and the entire post game before the game hits store shelves. TPCI knows best!

>i hear what you are saying, but the series has to remain accessible to kids since they are the main demog of handheld consoles.
These kids could still play the normal mode though?

Ultra Beasts are a new category of legend. There’s Legends, Mythcials and UB’s.

NO KANTO, please fuck off with Kanto pandering. I've played Kanto a million of times and I'm completely done with it. I'm fine with pikachu as mascot stuff but I don't about kanto alolan forms, mega forms etc.

Man, I wish I could still play Pokémon like I did with my siblings like 20 years ago, makes the game so much more fun.
But alone I really can't be bothered to care about what is essentially the same game as first gen.

This. Despite what Yea Forums might say. Sun and Moon were fairly decent games, but by no means something to actually follow the development of and get excited for.
I'll follow its development but will never have the same hopes for it as with past iterations.

Played heavily up to XY, played ORAS a fair bit but don't intend to play it again, and now occasionally play the games from FRLG-XY.

>actually somewhat enjoyed SuMo due to it's variety, interesting new pokemon and cool locale.
>finally play LGBT
>it's among the most boring, flaccid and uninspired pieces of shit I've ever played
I thought you fags were overreacting, but every encounter in this game is such a damn slog. The mobile catching mechanic is the least of the problems, I kinda enjoy desu.
The problem is they literally took out all the mechanics that kept the games somewhat interesting.

- Cool pokémon designs for once instead of making silly objects pokémons, for example Trubbish
- Good pokémon battles. Give trainers 6 pokémons, not 2 or 4.
- Make every pokémon type accessible from the start (ice is always endgame in every game and that sucks)
- Make pokémon take less damage from weaknesses. Gym battles are way too easy since you can exploit weaknesses too much.
- Give more pokémon a mega evolution so you aren't more inclined to using only a handful of pokémon

This is probably what happens if a company tries to stay the same too much. They have no ambition and don't look to a better future every time.

black and white was the last pokeymans game i played, the rest dont exist in my perfect view of life

What bothers me is that on the left there's a patch of
grass that isn't influenced by the snow.

I hate these. In Scots "ball" is pronounced "baw" as in "gie aff ma boord ye fuhkin bawbag"

The alolan variants were pretty lazy to be honest.
They felt like reskins with different pokemon types.
