It’s about to get $10 billion bigger

Prease undertand. Make games is difficurt

Having more and more mons means less time can be devoted to making each of their models non-shit I guess

Hmm, it's almost like making a battle mechanic that's literally just "make it bigger lol" in favor of megas wasn't that good of an idea after all!

pokemoncoders.com/pokemon-light-platinum-ds/
it's a remake of light platinum for DS, since light platinum is among one of the most popular rom hacks ever, the guy remade it. it came out last year iirc, so it isn't surprising that it went under so many people's radar considering pokemon content was at an all-time low because interest in gen 7 was declining.

They obviously don't want to make more Pokemon models, reason why they're dropping Megas and regional forms entirely, and yet they still fail at just giving some aura and increasing in size some Pokemon models. Is not even funny anymore.

>$90 billion
You could at least buy two small countries with that money, Game Freak has no excuses.

YOU
JUST
KNOW

Pokemon just looks flat out unimpressive now. I knew it wasn't going to be the coolest thing at E3 obviously but it just looks like shit compared to the good stuff we've seen. That's not even considering it's the BIGGEST FUCKING MEDIA FRANCHISE IN THE WORLD. Let's make this clear

Does Nintendo truly have so little control over Pokemon that they can't force GF to get their shit together? Sword & Shield look like shit.

Not final gameplay

you have to be 18+ to use this board

You idiots DO know that the Pokemon games and anime are the commercials right? The real profit is earned via merchandise. The cards, the plushies, the accessories, that kind of stuff. If you look at Pokemon and think the main attraction is the games you are doing it wrong.

Yo hold the FUCK on. The clouds and skyturds load in with the Steelix at the same time. Does that mean the incompetent shitlords at Gamefreak actually went and made those Dynamax effects part of the Steelix model itself and not just an environmental background effect?
Do they have double the models needed because every single pokemon in the game has a regular model and a dynamax model that's just the same thing with added clouds, taking up double the required cart space? Is Gamefreak really this stupid?

Why should they? You're not the intended demographic. Pokemon is always aimed at children who don't know any better and haven't figured out that Pokemon is a waste of time rip off of a series where they force you to buy the same game two times and sometimes a third time and then the cycle is repeated. It's for stupid kids who don't know any better. And there's always a new sucker born every minute. Game Freak and the Pokemon Company will never go out of business just following the same old formula.

I mean even stuff like Pokemon Phoenix Rising looks light years better than Sw/Sh.

Yeah dude, seeing giant pokemon on screen instead of normal ones literally changes the entire game bro!!!

Justin pls

I love pokemon bros but this is not acceptable

It's funny that you didn't see this coming given every other franchise the company has churned out. Did you expect a soul to survive this development cycle? Did you think Pokemon wouldn't succumb to the Nintendo Machine eventually?

Welcome to every Nintendo franchise in history (except for Startropics because that series is ambrosia from the fucking gods and Nintendo can never taint it but hey a Startropics 3 would be cool just saying.. please make it.. please).

Gamefreak has gotten lazy, not a single main series game has been a commercial failure, and its become apparent that it's a very bad thing for a longstanding franchise.

Has nothing to do with it.
Gamefreak is just plain bad at programming. There's nobody there who can really optimize.

Why doesn't Game Freak hire more people? They have the money.

I mean he's largely responsible for the shit games as well, don't let him off the hook

>wut r profit margins?

Nintendo wouldn't exist without Pokemon and Pokemon wouldn't exist without Nintendo> They may not develop it but you can't deny that Pokemon only continues to exist because of Nintendo. Seeth more my salty brother.

Masuda is the reason we didn't get the battle frontier

The bike is clipping through the ground.

Would you guys like it if they decided to go with some sort of ridiculous style for the new game, instead of the samey one?
Like links awakening or crafted yoshi or paper mario? Like if all the pokemon were actually redesigned to look more like toys or some shit.
Or maybe like some sort of realistic cell shaded style, like a suda51 game?

I'd assume that its padding for the game's filesize so it doesnt look so pathetic to anyone who cracks it open at a first glance.

oh no this isn't the switch struggling to run it, this is a company struggling to do basic animations

Is Game Freak gonna run crying to Sony/Microsft? NOPE. It's Nintendo holding the reigns and cucking the developer. It's all Nintendo's fault when you boil it down.

And 8x the passion as well.

BW2 still remains as the last good Pokemon game.

I was just checking out some Dragon Quest XI S gameplay and it just made me wish Pokemon would look like that instead. No one is asking to change the art style. GF just needs to put a lot more effort into the graphical department at least because it just looks like an upscaled 3DS game.

What about the guy stuck in a hole in the ground?

What the fuck am i looking at, im obviously not from japan or i wouldn't be here

you can make them bigger

That looks cool. What are the best romhacks that don't add any stupid fanfiction or fakemons? Just new routes, different pokemon, new mechanics, that sort of thing.

Why can't this series ever get better? Why do they keep removing features, dumb it down, and make it so the game plays for you?

Look carefully on who that is

also some of the mega evolutions were visually cool mega gengar for example

pokemon rumble, a side series that's been available in the US for years where the pokemon are gacha toys. (its not a gacha game its just the art style)

I don't get it what does giant pokemon change, I honestly want to know.

They constantly regress in features and scope while still earning millions of dollars easily.

This. It all took a steep nosedive right after those two.

I don't know who that is.
I barely know who Masuda is.

Oh you're a schizo, nevermind.

The impression given off is that it's equivalent of Mega Evolving your pokemon for 3 turns.
So like.
Its Mega Evolutions without the cool designs and somehow even more of a gimmick

They proved that you can sell a game with less than 1/5th your standard amount of content for double the standard price and get away with it on brand name and nostalgia alone.
I'm glad people are finally realizing what a shitty company GameFreak is, but I don't understand why this didn't happen with Let's Go.

And they show these videos off as some sort of accomplishment for next-gen Pokemon!?

Is the whole fiasco with the pokedex and pokemon home a clear sign of the company just not communicating and making rash decisions? How do they expect anyone to pay for a feature that's effectively going to strand your Pokemon for an unknown amount of time?
Because he sure as hell confirmed that this is their new policy going forward with Pokemon, to only allow a certain number in a new region and that's it.

It didnt happen with Lets Go because everyone knew from the start that it was a spinoff title. We expected at least something on the level of Gen 7, which isnt even asking for much. Instead we got something equivalent to fucking pokemon Stadium with 0 animation

Disgusting

I haven't bought a Pokemon game since S/M, since it insulted me so fucking badly. And the trend will continue until I see improvement.

Ah yes, I remember when people shitposted about Megas and Z-moves too. Calling it the end of Pokemon just because of a little change. Yet each Pokemon outsells the last.

Get with the times and enjoy new mechanics in video games you fucking fag.

Haven't bought a game since Omega Ruby and returned it the next day. And you're out of your mind if you think I'm buying a Switch.

Can somebody please justify the multiple versions of pokemom games with minimal differences?
Literally no other company does this, it's fucking insane how gamefreak gets away with this.
Do people just accept it because its been that way since the beginning? It was stupid then, its fucking greedy now.

Same and ended up skipping us/um. I've been playing since silver and for the first time I'm not excited at all for a new region which sucks because this should be the most exciting thing in a long ass time for Pokemon seeing how it's moving to a console now. Game freak are fucking hacks

There hasn't been a third version since fucking Platinum. That was over TEN FUCKING YEARS AGO.

usum was literally a third version further split into 2 parts for double jewry

As similar as they are as far as sequel design goes, even the Mosou developers put more effort and care into their games.

I feel this is an odd place to plug an indie title, but Games like Lisa the Painful/The Joyful have proven to me time and time again that RPGs are able to do great things in the medium with no money, and the desire and ambition to create something others will love.
So tell me then, why does a Multi Billion dollar company have trouble doing so when they have the assets to make the best game ever made? You know its possible, they have the pokemon, they just need the ambition and scope.

Water-color palette like the OG art style and somehow incorporated with cell shading to make it look like 2.5D

Maybe developers should try easing into these big games. I'm getting flashbacks of Dynasty Warriors 9 trying to do open world all over agian. Gamefreak obviously isn't ready for the big leagues.

I realize that SMT isn't exactly Pokemon, but goddamn I can't wait to see for SMTV to completely BTFO SnS like Yo-Kai Watch 4 is already doing in terms of competency. Maybe Pokemon-only fags will actually realize the importance of competition for once.

Being ambitious only works when you have people that actually know how to program (i.e. not Gamefreak) to realize those ambitions into game form.

why don't they hire more people?

Not even the modest ardent of Pokefaggots (like me) will defend this game

It's a visual disgrace for its new hardware, the first mainline game on a home console by the way, and it looks like shit in spite of them cutting hundreds from the pokedex for 'technical reasons'

I'm not sure if it'll outright bomb, but I'm 99% sure that sales will be affected by this game's horrible entrance, and in all honestly Pokemon as a whole is probably on its deathbed

We had a good run, lads

Your problem is that you'd take one over the other instead of actively rejecting all of it.
But, its a problem with the board as a whole.

I haven't bought a game since B2W2. XY were genuinely awful, and they've only sunk further since then. I'm glad I got off the ride before this happened.

No this game will make multimillions easily. Gamefreak could just make Pong and send it out under this name and preorderers and normies would praise it and thank gamefreak for allowing us the opportunity to buy this game. Fallout 4 and 76 proved that people will preorder and buy shit no matter how many times they are lied to and deceived so long as the name brand is there. Retards that buy this shit are the reason why so many franchises are being killed for the sake of money. They can just reuse the same assets over and over again and make billions. Todd Howard can use deceptive advertising and lie straight to your face and get away with it and people(on reddit) are still defending No Man's Sky for improving HAHAHAHAHAHAHA don't you see its fucking pointless my childhood is long dead along with any hope for media in this world. It's all money for here on out. Normie pieces of shit will buy anything I could shit in a pringles can and mark it as Pokemon and people will pay me 100 dollars for it and suck my cock for this masterpiece I have contributed to the world.

They literally haven't used that line since Kanto and it was an American only thing

Mega Evolution and Z-Moves may also have been axed thanks to Dynamax. In fact, I'm starting to wonder if Dynamax is the real reason Pokemon are getting cut. Maybe Game Freak ran into performance or compatibility issues with some of the models.

Sounds like they're bad at management, actually.

Then again, even if they skimp on development costs the game will still sell millions of copies, so from a business perspective maybe they're actually managing it just fine.

X and Y were decent games, and the novelty of the 3D models of every pokemon were really neat. That took effort.

This.
This just doesnt.

Sun and Moon were the last Pokemon games for me. Don't get me wrong, I like the new Pokemon design and all but this so fucking shit I cannot defend it anymore.

I'm going to pirate it but that was my plan since before it was announced.

Why makes 3d models and original transformation when you can just resize a existing one by 300% ?

GameFreak is a small indie game company trying to save money to pay their hard working devs, enough with the complaint!

Reminder that Yokai Watch, as shitty as it is, only took off because it scratched that pokemon Itch better than Pokemon ever could.

Wait, seriously?
Wasnt that one of the few new things that people liked in Sun/Moon?

Programmers at gamefreak are pretty good.

I really wish someone would comb through the game credits throughout the years, and count how many old staffers are still around. I'm willing to bet that the company is filled with a lot of old blood.

all games are for children user. it's not like we're playing freddi fish

>Look at your doughy retarded self in the mirror and all the bright and colorful knick knacks and merchandise you surround yourself with and all the useless media you consumed over the years
You could say this about literally any video game franchise.

Nah, Toby Fox is an absolute brainlet programmer and shit artist and he managed to make a huge hit by makign a game filled with SOUL

And Gamefreak could easily hire more people to such an extent that they had 20x more manpower the CDPR and it would barely scratch them financially and allow them to get way more work done so maybe S&S would actually have all the pokemon in it instead of like 1/4 of them.

I wish we got those cool tattoos on Dynamax'd pokemon or something. It's only, what, a texture?

It's fun, cute game

Even if you compare Pokemon to other children games, they are still incompetent.

Im honestly kind of good looking desu

There was also strategy in not blowing your mega immediately, like keeping intimidate on Mawile, keeping the flying type for Gyarados/Altaria, or moxie on Heracross/Pinsir.

Gamefreak

I hate to say it but Game Freak should've stuck with 2D

the only issues with X/Y were the lack of post game and difficulty

Pokemon is the highest grossing franchise OF ALL TIME and people are defending this shit with “games are hard to make guys please” like they don’t have the clout and money to get people with a proper vision.

Sadly I pestered my mom to buy me Red with a gameboy color back when it came out.

How can I atone?

I don't think there are many good programmers in Japan period. I've heard something somewhere that they don't follow DRY or any sort of basic software engineering principles.

Are you speaking from experience?

it's pathetic

Oh yeah it is.
GF is a company full of people who know that they're jobs are basically guaranteed because of how much money their franchise makes. No one can fire them, not even Nintendo can since GF technically owns the Pokemon IP and could just leave and take Pokemon to Sony or some shit. This is why Nintendo has never really put the screws to them over their lazy, half-assed attitude towards game development.

This one's clearly just because it's early in development. Let's be fair.

Hey buddy, I think you've got the wrong door, /r/gatekeeping is two blocks down.

Shinji gets more shit done, though.

Oh my god you guys it’s so hard to animate the 800+ Pokemon! It’ll put years on development time!

But why? I mean how do they expect to get anything good done and not pull their hair out?

I figured all that, but whoever actually compiles the names of old staff, would be a hero. It would be cathartic in a way. Seeing exactly what the problem is.

Kind of like how Sonic fans finally looked at the credits, and realized all the old creative talent left.

I haven't played any of these since X/Y, but they might be on to something with the pokedex culling.
Fuck the National Dex, honestly. I don't care about all of the pokemon being available in every game -- they'll be back. Limiting which Pokemon are available could make battles more interesting than they've been in a while, since the environment is fundamentally different, instead of being built on top of the previous one. If your favorite is in, this could be its time to shine. Mine isn't, but plenty that I like are, and some of the newcomers could be good.

why hire new people when that just cuts profits? I will say I admire their loyalty to their old staff pool. Fuckers have no incentive to change a goddamn thing. People will buy this whether or not it only has 50 pokemon in the game.

They didn't make it off of muh-graphix ever.

>and in all honestly Pokemon as a whole is probably on its deathbed
This will never be true no matter how many times you keep saying it. Just because the game looks like shit and you don't like it doesn't mean you have to keep insisting the series is dead, that's just wishful thinking on your part because you want your opinion on the series to be validated by the world at large agreeing with you and abandoning the series en masse, causing it to die which will make your dislike of the series easier to cope with. It's much easier to separate yourself from a series that's already dead rather than coming to terms with the idea that it's alive and well but just not for you anymore.

They refuse to grow their studios because they like their tight knit, stagnant environment where things never change.

Oh hell, that is fucking retarded. I would love to see the source code, just so I can see the unreadable, unmaintainable, inefficient disaster.

>I don't get the discussion but I'm going to jump in anywaay!

Gen 5 has a national dex you just have to unlock like the previous generations and the 6th as well.

Gen 7 was the beginning of the removal of dex entires but they still had their nat. dex numbers in and still existed in the fucking game and fit on a 3ds cart that was horribly optimized to include 50 models of the same Lillie.

I would call that residual soul due to it being a remake of a game that had it.

I goes beyond user, remember what Masuda said they have over 1000 models, now as you and I are aware pokémon can end up shiny, so that means they have to create a Dynamax for both vanilla and shiny, in other words each pokémon in the game has 4 models 2 normal and 2 dynamax. What it means? It means the final count of mons has high chances of being smaller like no bigger than 300 hundreds or so.

I liked the concept of z-moves. I just hate the stupid dance.

every Pokémon was still coded in those games, retard.

Good riddance. I genuinely cannot believe you faggots are gonna miss this shit after years of complaining, not like dynamaxing isn’t much better

I think you missed something in my post there, champ. It isn't even that long, so I don't know how you did it. Maybe you should take a break.

I think in the case of shiny pokemon they just have a new texture, I don't think they make a whole separate model.

Game Freak and their incompetence are the only negatives in an otherwise really strong E3 for Nintendo, barring the AC delay, and I personally don't give a fuck about that series.

Pokemon is like the biggest multimedia franchise on the planet, they could literally shovel 10x the money they spend on development into a furnace and still come out on top
Mostly I'm just impressed that it's been 20 years and they still have no competent programmers

user, Masuda is a bullshitter or gamefreak is worse at making games than I thought. Shiny pokemon are just texture swaps.If you're actually stupid enough to think Dynamax requires a separate model, you legit just need to take a look at Deviantart's 3d section. Also, all the models are the same from the 3ds, the reason why the 3ds games ran like shit is because the future proofed them by adding higher res textures and poly counts than the 3ds was capable of utilizing to the models.
tl;dr You're a fucking idiot and need to keep your idiot mouth shut.

The worst part is nintendies don't think gamefreak will do this because they legitimately believe the games don't need fixing.

What are some good Pokemon romhacks/fangames that are not just difficulty adjustment?

>Shiny pokemon are just texture swaps
If you were a competent developer, it's actually possible to set up the textures applied to 3D models with color palletes so you could save even more space by just changing a few values.

You and I both know that no matter how much they lazily fuck up these games people are still going to eat their shit and they will make a boat load of money. Pokemon is too big to fail at the moment.

They clearly want to kill megas and this is the game they are doing it.
I don't get why they do either, because the majority of people don't mind megas, and most the people who do hate megas only hate them because they mega'd pokemon who didn't need it.
They could easily just stick the 3 turn timer on megas (like they did with weather) but instead they added a brand new gimmick.

Reminder that Genius Sonority made Pokemon games of similar graphical fidelity with better effects for the moves and better animations for the Pokemon on the Game Cube. I know that graphics aren't everything, but Game Freak are literally the laziest developers in the gaming industry and I hope that the majority of people will see that one day. But Pokefags are literally retarded and will eat whatever shit Game Freak shovels into their mouths, so I doubt that.

Yes, but compiling and charting the data would be much better for everyone to consume. Rather expecting everyone to make the slow trudge of clicking through wiki pages.

Not the argument loser

They shouldn't be cut in the first place. Just because you and your basic, white bread, normalfaggot cum slurping favorite pokemon isn't affected doesn't mean there aren't hundreds of people getting fucked over because their bros got cut.
>>could make battles more interesting than they've been in a while
This doesn't even make sense, we've been having metas were certain Pokemon were unavailable and the game would be equally unbalanced, there are so many Pokemon now that if one Pokemon isn't available, a different Pokemon can fill the exact same niche with slightly lower stats.

There's no defending this, there's just no way you can spin it to make it seem like a good thing.

You can't just throw money at it to make the problems go away. They do not want to make Pokemon games, they have stated multiple times that they want to test the waters for new things instead of staying chained to the franchise forever. Spending more money on something that they don't want to make would be detrimental for them since it diminishes their gains in the process.

Muh realism and dark/edgy stuff gets boring after a while. When was the last time western developers made a creative game? Western game developers lack creativity. All they do is mask it in the veil of "realism" and try to hide their deficiencies. I used to think slavs were immune, but it looks like they're just the same.

Games are fundamentally designed to occupy a person's interest and more specifically it allows us to explore avenues not explorable in real world. If the game is just a "muh realism" simulator, where's the interest in that? If I wanted to look at trannies or slay slavs, I'd just go outside.

Managers have a notorious lack of care for code quality as long as it "just werks".

I myself reserve the best coding habits I can muster for my hobby while I spew terrible spaghetti abomination at work since it perpetuates my employment.

It's supposed to be there. The fight was already going on for a while and they just dynamaxed their arcanine.
I don't even know why they unloaded the steelix model. well, the answer is probably incompetence

Yeah, sprites.

Weird how series like mario and zelda can do all of this appealing to new kids shit while also making a decent game.
Imagine have to be disingenuous because you're too much of a drone to face reality.

Dumb shill

>Is the whole fiasco with the pokedex and pokemon home a clear sign of the company just not communicating and making rash decisions?
It's a sign that GF is getting bit hard by the HD transition from 240p 5 inch screens and likely didn't plan out what they'd need to cope with it well.

>How do they expect anyone to pay for a feature that's effectively going to strand your Pokemon for an unknown amount of time?
They're hoping the wow factor of "Pokémon at home" will give them a free pass kinda like it did with the LGP games. Catch is, this is the mainline and not a "spinoff", so expectations are higher.

>Because he sure as hell confirmed that this is their new policy going forward with Pokemon, to only allow a certain number in a new region and that's it.
That policy simply is not going to survive if this backdraft doesn't let up. If Nintendo sees pre-order numbers coming in below projections, they will force GF to publicly state they will add more Pokémon via Star Allies-style post release support or that they're publishing S&S:Prologue in November and delaying the full game a year to buff the kinks out even if it means publicly holding a gun to Masuda's head in a televised press conference.

This is big money, and Masuda's blatant attempts at face-saving for development troubles will only be allowed to fly if it looks like the spice will still flow come November.

>So tell me then, why does a Multi Billion dollar company have trouble doing so when they have the assets to make the best game ever made?
Because they aren't starting off by thinking "how do we make the best game we can". They are first and foremost thinking "how do we maximize profits for this product that we are selling?" and following that up with numerous cheap tricks and smoke and mirrors techniques in order to market it to the next generation of retarded impressionable children and unflinching buyslaves who will begrudgingly purchase every generation of Pokemon until either they die or the series dies.

Dragon Quest Monsters has more unique and well-executed concepts than Pokemon at this point.

Heartbeat was pure kino.

Wait, is the Vortex actually part of the SAME fucking model???
Mother fuckers, this actually got me mad, holy shit Gamefreak.

>not worth spending time and money on hundreds of forgotten shitmon
No need. The models for any older Pokemon you see in Sword/Shield are actually the same ones from X/Y.

>Big yikes

Oof

...seethe? i forget, what counters oof? someone post the chart

>creativity
>generic green grass, generic hill, generic water
>entire format of the franchise since the very first game was just SMT for kids anyway
>implying

I didn't say any of that, you reductive brainlet. Game Freak can suck my dick for how shitty the last few games were, but a good decision is a good decision. The games obviously do better when they pander to nostalgiafags, so excluding a large portion of the older pokemon would be a gutsy move. It's a sign of life for this series, and could signal a return to form. I don't care if Electrode, Vanillite and your "bros" aren't in this game, especially if it ends up being good.

>>playing a game that is very clearly and specifically marketed to a new generation of kids each time it's released
you know what would be a great way to get a new generation of kids interested in pokemon? including all the older pokemon from past generations so kids playing the new games will be incentivized to check out the older games.

GameFreak has always been incompetent as hell. Even old Pokemon games are honestly quite bad and they needed personal help of Satoru Iwata in fitting 2nd gen games on cartridges.

Pokemon was never good.
I'd like to hope Gamefreak's latest string of incompetency is enough to finally ween fans off the franchise, but it won't. It will sell like hotcakes.

So they could make some other game and outsource pokemon to a company that would actually give a shit.

What am I reading.

>That's just about half a year user. Do you think they are done polishing or finding bugs?
There is zero way they are going to resolve half the problems people have noticed in 6 months. The game honestly needs a year-long delay and support from outside teams in order to not feel like it was obviously duct-taped together.

I don't get it.

You forgot
>Cut rivals that don't suck your dick all game
>Cut villains that are actually evil instead of just misguided

It's a fucking wonder that Gen 3 went without a hitch

heh

You take that back you goddamn double nigger.

If you don't understand why people are disappointed, go and play HeartGold/SoulSilver. Those games had:
>Access to ALL Pokémon, including following sprites for every single one
>The most extensive Battle Frontier (post-game metagame-level battle) ever conceived
>Contests, a side-game no one asked for but with their own ruleset that actually adds unique content
>Fucking Pokémon Olympics minigame with ANOTHER ruleset unique to it which is actually fun and interesting, again which no one asked for but it's fully fleshed out
>An entire second fucking region complete with higher level trainers and 8 Gym Leaders; yes it's a throwback to the first games but it's still an entire region
>Very solid competitive scene that isn't overly dominated by shit like Landorus or bad gimmicks like Dynamax
>Strong, solid, confident aesthetic that is a series classic - consistent and definitive
>Even more stuff I can't even remember

Those games were chocked to the fucking BRIM with what the director thought "Oh, they'll enjoy this!" and "This would make it even better!" That's how Pokémon should be made.

I can't see why you would code things efficiently at work, anyway. Wouldn't coding things to be obnoxious and inefficient be better from a 'busy work' perspective? Cause if you coded shit to be efficient then you'd be spending less time actually 'working'.

Westerners hate it but Gamefreak only listens to its Japanese audience.

Are the Japs up in arms as well? Are they firebombing GF offices?

And yet they'll keep bringing gen 1 'mons with a higher priority over anything else when only a handful are even iconic anymore.

Because retards will buy it anyway so why would they spend more to make the same

What the hell am I watching?

The most valuable game ip at work

shut the FUCK up /mlpol/

cope

Because Nintendo hasn't fully bought them. All you can do is hope the internet anger will cause some massive shareholders to threaten Masuda to make something competent

It'll sell more than enough, but I expect the general backlash to cause mass tard-wrangling, like the Fire Emblem Fates fiasco (that game was kuso even without Treehouse being fags)

These guys make Eva look competent

>A pokemon obviously based on a corgi is giving people corgi vibes
Quality journalism

It's actually astounding how unwilling they are to invest money back into the franchise.

No. That shit isn't fun. Pokemon's issues come from not being able to handle its own feature bloat because the programmers are hacks and Masuda is a lazy complacent motherfucker.

Someone needs to rape and kill Masuda and Ohmori already

this game looks like another lgpe

It may be time for the Pokémon Company to give it to someone else then. You do not jump to stronger hardware and somehow put out an inferior product

Yo-Kai Watch's battle system is garbage.

Digimon is legit but it feels it'll never go beyond high end niche game

>"They can't make it better because they don't have enough people!"
>"So hire more people"
>"THEY CAN'T JUST HIRE MORE PEOPLE BECAUSE REASONS!"
You know that you're pretty much saying that they're making Pokemon games bad on purpose, right?
Like, they don't wanna make Pokemon, so they're refusing to improve in protest.
Even if you're right the solution would STILL be to hire more people, hire an entirely new team to keep making pokemon games so the people who don't want to anymore can do their pet project or whatever the fuck

>cut day/night cycles
Huh, I'm pretty sure Sword and Shield have day/night cycles, right?

Personally gen 7 and its 5 billion cutscenes were a lesser evil.

Lurantis and USUM Totem bullshit was worth suffering the railroad

I just want a Pokemon game not made by incompetent retards that got lucky.

how about hiring people who want to make pokémon games then ?

For all the years of shit, baiting, flame wars, and degeneracy, you all deserve it. Just hope you know that.

Monolith is the only one I'd try passing to, but that probably we'd never get anything other than Pokemon from them.

This is a doomed trainwreck

Commit fornication

Online

Also had a shitty level curve and crappy distribution of mons. With a whole bunch real time locked inside the safari zone

well you make them big

There's probably a good market for a pokemon ripoff with actual monsters.

That's never gonna happen

I want a Drill Dozer sequel, but we can't get what we want. Only way Pokemon is changing is if some unhinged angry Japanese fans decide to kill Masuda and Ohmori.

I can only see Digimon, and Digimon suffers Sonic the Hedgehog syndrome in terms trying to mix things up.

>top
HIRE THIS MAN-tier
>bottom
Style and no clutter.

as if pokemon fans like you have sex ahahahaha! freak!

Pokeshitters are virgins because they play gay shitty games made for babies and designed by hacks.

They'd be better off killing themselves or violently killing the devs.

Post some more high quality animations

I mean, you could probably make a game like pokemon but with real horror type monsters and it would probably sell pretty well. Pokemon for adults I guess.

Actually it seems that even the most fanatic Pokemon fans are raging against this. So I would assume that people who try to defend it are just trolling.

Shin Megami Tensei happened and it got overshadowed by its pandering counterpart

Just downloaded it. Any more suggestions? Are there any with a good story?

Gamefreak has ninety billion dollars. Ninety billion, man. How much better can they fucking eat? Don't the guys working there want to try making a really good game that can compete with AAA's at least once before they die, just so they can look back and say "I made that"? After you become rich enough, isn't something like that worth more than an extra million?

it makes 10 times as much monney, it's now on several consoles, it's one of the biggest mobile game, the cartoon is still going strong, we have more ads, more websites than ever, we now have movies and every direct competitor (yokai watch, digimon) is getting killed on sight by being "clones but worse"
Pokemon has never been as successful as it is now, remove those glasses.

you have to be shitting me

Is Digimon World: Next 0rder the closest there is to an open world 'mon game? This thread's getting my mind all wishing and shit, but that's the only game I've got that's openish

People don't realize that Pokemon makes more shekels from plush toys and other merchandise than the actual video games.

The video games at this point are just free advertisement to shill newer Pokemon for plushies.

What people also don't realize is that the TCG and video game revenues are literally the same, the TCG has seen a steady rise over the years while game sales have dropped.

Gamefreak simply does not care anymore since the brand alone is equal to 10-15 million copies sold.

Masuda and Ohmori are holding everyone back. Just let James take over.

Pokemon adventures: red chapter follows red's journey from the manga in fire red form.
Pokemon gaia also has one the best original stories imo, and a lot of effort into the tileset and sprites
Also pokemon cloud white is really dense, with 540 mons from gens 1-6 and mega evolutions

Of course we can't play as them. They aren't in the fucking game.

>sit on the highest grossing franchise in the world
>it's not just the toys that sell, the video games are selling outrageous amounts
>be based in fucking Japan, having access to some of the best console game developers in the world
>strong ties to Nintendo meaning they should have access to all the help they can request
>still be too proud, stubborn, and greedy to take advantage of their situation
>bring shame to Pokemon and Japan by making one of it's main export into shitty games

Oh well, as long as the shareholders are happy, right?

never would have thought sonic has a better transition from 2d to 3d than pokemon.

I don't know if you're still watching this thread, but Pokemon Crystal Clear is an open world hack for gen 2. You can choose from like 20 starters, enemy levels and gym pokemon scale with your number of gym badges, you can catch every single pokemon, there is a guy in every city that will trade pokemon back to evolve them, you can customize your character, and nothing is locked behind HMs besides optional stuff like caves. It's officially ruined pokemon games for me. Imagine that feeling of playing MW2 and then going back to fucking Golden Eye.

I mean it's not that surprising. Nips are bad at computers, their website technology is so fucking dated. Just hire some western programmers and tell them to implement their ideas

>Pokemon adventures: red chapter follows red's journey from the manga in fire red form.
I tried playing that but I hated it, it was nothing but constant fourth wall breaking cringe 'humor' and metashit. Nothing pulls me out of a game harder. I'm giving you my time here, please don't let me know you think the story you're writing is a fucking joke. If you don't treat it with respect, why should I?

I'll check out the other two though, thanks.

You kids have absolutely no idea what you're talking about and it's kind of embarrassing

Care to explain why or are you just going to act like an edgy retard.

People know how bad their games are coded/designed from romhacking. Also autists rip every single model asset from every single one of their 3d games and upload it the week they are released so they know how often they reuse assets.

Redpill me on pokemmo

This. Gamefreak sells shit products because their shit products sell.

I wonder if the people who defend this are just actual children, or adult men who are actually so loyal to a corporation that couldn't give half a shit about them that they insult people for bringing rightful criticism.

>Can somebody please justify the multiple versions of pokemom games with minimal differences?

This is what Nintendo does.
