Why is Game Freak so lazy

The Switch is obviously capable of better visuals

because they know it will sell millions regardless of effort

but gamefreak isn't

The tree on the left looks at least up to Dreamcast levels, give Masuda SOME credit...

people seem to forget pokemon red and blue came out in 1996, same year as Super Mario 64. Gamefreak are always like 10 years graphically behind.

They know it will sell. 3DS, a machine capable of RE Revelations had shitty Pokemon cut scene simulators that looked like shit and run like shit. What happened? Every release combined sold something like 15 million units, probably mostly full price since Ninty games hardly drop in price.

Why bother in the end when you have army of consumers ready to consume your next product?

It's all so unfair. First proper console Pokemon (no LGPE) and it looks worse than fucking Colosseum.

Time constraints? Everything about the game feels like a rush job

Attached: fh9qd5dzhl431.png (960x540, 410K)

They're only partially lazy. The other part is pure incompetence.

Because the last time they put their hearts and souls into something and created some of the best games in the series, people hated it. So why try? The public doesn't deserve good pokemon games because of how they responded to Gen V.

they have to push it out in time with the garbage anime, so yes. It is a rush job.

First versions are always rushed. Especially SS considering it hasn't even been a year since LGPE and they're also working on Town. I don't think they even have enough employees to split between three projects.

DK looks weird with no teeth

All I care about is the water. How does the water look like in Shield and Sword?

they're so fucking sick of Pokemon games they figure if they produce a pile of absolute shit as the first major console outing that isn't newbie bait since >XD Nintendo will finally go UGH FINE and actually try to ENFORCE GODDAMN QUALITY

It has this weird fake reflection over it. Looks kind of shit really.
youtu.be/gR09NMx4rY0

Why are they mainline games never outsourced to other studios? Battle Revolution from 10 years ago had more impressive animations/graphics by far

They both look like ass
Botw's filter is pure garbage

Yet they claimed that LGPE was just a filler from the b-team since the "real" games need more time. Seriously, no matter how you try to explain this shit, Masuda made sure that it all comes down to utter fducking laziness.

battle revolution was ass, might've looked impressive for the time but had no content

What about when you ramp up the saturation

Attached: botw.png (1920x1080, 3.96M)

Megas were gay too. Z moves too.

Calling SwSh the first version is a joke. It's basically the tenth version of red and blue. Gamefreak is just incompetent. But it's not like they have to try since the games sell regardless of their quality. Gamefreak has been doing their "introduce feature and then take it away in the next game" schtick for two decades now.

if you cared about graphics you wouldn't play on nintendo consoles.

Any way to do this with mods on switch?

*Ever since the Wii

should have just kept it 2d

At least Pokemon has decent gameplay

Well you can admit the graphics are worse but still have some standards. If games with 10x the content and complexity look better on the same console, there's a problem

Not to my knowledge. Maybe once all the hacking develops more.

I haven't bought a single Pokémon game after this shit. I preordered Sword after hearing about open world and I actually thought they were trying to do things right this time, but after the national dex stuff I'm considering skipping this one too. Fuck GameFreak.

Same tree copy paste, not even rotated

Yes, which is why I only praised it for the visuals, but even outsourcing some of the development seems better than what they're doing now to end up with Gamecube-tier graphics

Fuck you user

Not the same comparison as Pokemon came out on a handheld.

The series has felt rushed since XY. Gamefreak needs to stop shitting out a game a year.

it's a korok puzzle

Thats the puzzle

god breath of the wild was ugly
such a giant turd. I really don´t understand how anybody got any enjoyment out of it

The issue is they can't, they are mandated a schedule by the rest of the franchise
the pokemon brand is much larger than just the games, and they need to shit out new merch and run the anime, which needs to coincide with the game release. Gamefreak are slaves to their own IP.

If you had a single brain cell you would have been able to predict this for a long time now.

They actually played it

videogames are fun

They develop games for toddlers and infants... why would they care about visuals? Tbh I'm sure coding/animating/modelling/spriting all the 95120+ pokemon consumes most of their budget/time, though.

Let's go was too profitable only having 151 pokemon, people gave it a pass cause surely gen 8 would have everything, but alas

>the excuse for cutting pokemon is that the rest of the game will improve for it
>rest of the game still looks like shit though
>gamefreaks proves they still dont understand how to make good pokemon games by adding another mid-battle powerup gimmick instead of anything actually substantial

theyve been using the same animations/models for like 6 years man

you pathetic fanboys will buy it regardless

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. And no, a handful of people complaining about it on Yea Forums and /vp/ doesn't count to them as "broke".

sprites weren't broken

Gamefreak has never been known for their programming skills. Iwata (bless the man) used to pull the load for them but since he isn't here anymore they give us this shit instead. And people will still eat the game up.

get your eyes checked ASAP

>I haven't bought a single Pokémon game after this shit.
>I preordered the very next one
???

He's right though, I can't imagine playing it on an actual Switch with how fucking miserable it looks.

left tree cannot be compared at all to right tree, I don't know much about the BoTW filter but the right tree definitely looks worse and not the same as BoTW's

they can both look like ass without being on the same level of ass

What is wrong with its hands

They were never capable. They had to redraw all their pokemon red and green sprites because it was too shitty. Iwata had to optimize gold and silver so it could fit on the cart. Red and blue were riddled with Bugs. Literally no other game let you fight a glitch like MissingNo. Because its retardedly incompetant. One of the gamefreak employees is literally such a far lazy piece of shit that eats everything including moldy food that they based Snorlax on him.

That is NOT nice water.

GF had genius sonority helping them since XY, also they hired ton of people from them, which why they barely do anything but some shitty eshop games.

The issue lies on gamefreak being a bunch of incompetent fucks.

They still outsource 3d models don't they?

This would be a valid argumemt for somebody who actually has a modicum of talent like bungie, or soocerguy, but gamefreak physically couldn't handle any other ip

Yes and no. Lots are reasonably pissed and unsatisfied, but there's been push back from GF apologist. Whether it's genuine defense or the insatiable desire to be contrarian, no idea.

I'm sure that genius sonority did the models.

But holy fucking shit, they have no excuse to not use them. Look at this shit.

Attached: wireframe.png (688x546, 45K)

that toy could never handle it get a pc retard if you want the game it look good

Futureproofing the models is actually the only smart thing that gamefreak has done in the last ten years, which leads me to believe it wasn't done by gamefreak at all.

There is low poly models and complete set of walking animations compatible with both sets of model.

So, yeah probably GF never exactly touched the models themselves. Also low poly models are different from the ones used ingame for world.

Apparently they are not lazy, just incredibly incompetent. Does anyone have that image explaining how pokemon has something like 40 instances of the exact same character, which takes up retarded amount of space and processing power?

They aren't lazy, they are hacks. Its been known since Gold/Silver that they can't actually code to save their lives. They could barely fit Johto onto the GBC cart without Satoru Iwata's help

jesus where have you guys been since X/Y?

Alot old games would store sprites off camera for quick loading. I don't think anyone got at gamefreak memo this is no longer an efficient means of allocating or saving resources.

Why would they spend money on hiring better programmers and code monkeys when they can use the same hacks and produce a game 10 years behind in technology and make billions in profit?
Pokemon would need to see a loss before Nintendo and the Pokemon Company would jointly apply pressure on GameFreak.

I'm sure he is talking about npcs have duplicate models for every scene they pop instead of having a single model or two with a cutscene head.

tl;dr 1000 lillies.

I haven't done much programming but I know you can set global variables that you can recall at anytime. Not just a call to place this asset but actually 1000 different models of the same charcter? She wears what three maybe four different outfits the whole game so three models makes sense, .

>graphics aren't everything
>we want gameplay
>holy shit why does this game look so bad

Pokefags will eat literal shit as long as it has the Pokemon branding. This time Gamefreak has somehow found a way to put something worse then shit on their plate, so even the most diehard fans are being more or less forced to see the truth through their fanboy goggles.

Why do all Japs have such fucked up teeth? The stereotypes should be targeted at them, not the British. It's the same for the asian girls in porn.

No, npcs have a dupe model for every scene and map.

So one for game intro, then other for kukui lab, then other for route tutorial....

>gameplay getting worse with gym trials and 30 minute tutorials
>graphics getting worse with the peak at B&W2

I feel like NIntendo should do something about GF before they completely devalue the franchise with their incompetence. Even if its extremely scummy, I think Nintendo should refuse to allow Pokemon games to be made until they agree to allow Nintendo or another dev to co-develop the games from now on. GF only makes money from the games, but Nintendo is profiting from the franchise as a whole. Even if a new Pokemon game isn't made in the next 10 years they'll still be making billions from the merchandising. Meanwhile GF would be on the path to bankruptcy since all their non-Pokemon games are flops.

This gonna sound racist but rice gets stuck in your teeth easily so you don't floss enough.

Except the Intellectual Property for Pokemon is jointly held by Nintendo, Game Freak, and Creatures. So Nintendo can't, if they tried they'd probably end up losing their portion of the copyright on the franchise.

Those trees are in the exact same position for a reason, it's a puzzle where you need to make sure every tree has the same amount of apples on the exact same spots to get a korok seed.

Anyone have the image mentioned here? Sounds pretty interesting

Huh so that was what was so off about it, I liked Skyward Sword use of muted colors better, this game could have looked more like this it's not like it changes the art style either.

They can't just pull away the ip from gamefreak because gamefreak also owns a portion of IP.

Even if they try buy from them, they are very likely to tell nintendo to fuck off.

Jesus fuck, bring back sprites already.

Outcast is still more technologically advanced because of the voxel-based engine.

Most other countries that aren't the US typically have worse looking teeth. But that doesn't mean the US has the healthiest teeth, just that ours are white and straight.

Is this a bug or did someone really make this and think it was okay to show off?

Reminder that their "A Team" is working on a different project and this Pokemon is literally a "B Team" game.

When is Gamefreak going to pull a Bungie and just leave Nintendo with the Pokemon franchise so they can work on something they actually want to do?

To be fair wingull actually flies like that.

But putting them like 30 centimeters off the ground and not tweaking the animation is the lazy part.

Have you seen what Sky Battle did to any pokemon that can fly? It's not pretty. It seems GF just took Wingull's model, and was too lazy to animate it in any other way aside from the "standard" animation cycle.

not him but what connection between linkle and tranny?
personally i want to give fuck to linkle

>Lillies per area
The thing about this is, it could very well reduce load times or improve stability to not have to chase pointers down to the source file. Yes, it “wastes space”, but what the fuck else was that space on the cartridge going to be used for? It’s not like GF gets a bonus for leaving the cart half empty.

It’s like when people bitch about all the space wasted by uncompressed audio in console games; it’s pulling it from a Blu Ray disc, the thing has space to spare. What it doesn’t have is the memory or processing power to spare decoding compressed audio before the game wants to use it.

It’s not a PC title, “wasted space” is fucking irrelevant if it improves performance even a little bit.

Gale of darkness was also developed by Genius Sonority.

>being THIS retarded

Eh, it depends on how the engine is built and how the data is stored. Take the other example from there, which is the constant decrypting of the Pokemon struct; if all data files exist in encrypted batches (which is how many middleware encryption solutions work, like CriPak and such) then loading an assortment of character models would mean decrypting potentially a couple dozen of these to get all the models needed, instead of decrypting the single file associated with an area one time and loading all the assets needed.

I’m not saying GF necessarily structured the game this way, but it’s at least plausible.

You're right, I can't believe Game Freak couldn't even manage N64 level graphics on the Game Boy

The sad truth that made pokemon shit over the years

The pokemon games developed on the n64 weren't even developed by gamefreak either.

Bear in mind these graphically impressive games drain battery life like crazy. Since meeting others is an important part of pokemon, I could see why they would want to keep these graphics weak.

Then again, they could have went for an artstyle which hides it better.

legpee has been using the same models and animations GF has had since Black and White.

Pokedex 3D/Pro was a Gen 5 game that came out before XY and included all the Pokemon with the models and animations they've been using ever since.

Saying they've only been reusing these models and animations since 2013 gives them more credit than the reality that they've had them since 2011.

Those models and animations were already done, only needed new texture and some of them needed some extra tweaks

And SW/SH reuses 3DS models, your point?

As I recall it didn’t come out until way into Gen 5, i.e. after work on Gen 6 had already started. They clearly didn’t design the models for that app, they were designing them for Gen 6 and tossed them into the app for some quick dosh.

>Gamefreak's game will probably be less impressive at the end of the day than the Pokemon Minecraft mod
LOL
reforged.gg/

To be frank, not only are GameFreak lazy bastards, but people are underestimating this: this is the first time they've done a "large open space", and environment-wise the Wild Area easily holds the worst graphical problems of the entire product. I wouldn't say route footage is polished, but it's obvious that they're either cutting corners or have no idea what they're doing with the hardware and just cheaping out for this large space. If the entire game was Wild Area instead of routes, then yeah, it'd be super pronounced of a problem, because the fixed camera of everything else would hide these issues usually.

I don’t know about all that but I am 100% certain that fan-hacks will add the entire national dex back almost immediately, proving once and for all how utterly and completely incompetent GameFreak is.

don't be delusional, unmodded BoTW looks ugly as sin. Everything looks so watered down and ugly, I can't believe that there are people on here that actually find that acceptable. Just emulate it and your opinion will take a complete 180.

Brainlets BTFO

That's not something you brag about with regards to 3d games, famicom.

Obviously they didn't make the models solely for the app, but it came out with all these models they've been reusing even before BW2 even came out, definitively putting it in the timeframe of Gen 5.

There's just no reason to give them the credit of XY's release of 2013 compared to saying they've barely needed to touch these models and animations in 8 whole years

This. But there will literally be hell if they release a 3rd or 'ultra' installment of S/S that has all the Pokemon.

user, Pokedex 3D Pro released mid-December 2012. Basically, 2013.

Problem is, even if those who get mad over that stuff drop the game, another 5 to 10 million buy it. So there is almost no way either to buy or not buy, we are fucked.

I still don't know what those retards were doing on 5 years of development time.

To compare, Xenoblade x had nearly same amount of dev time and have 10 times more content than usual pokemon game.

There won't be.
The new policy going forward is that no Core Pokemon Title will ever again have all Pokemon available.
However, do expect some shitflinging to commence when GO one day has more Pokemon than a Core Pokemon Title released after GO, LGPE need not apply.

There won’t be. They’ve already said as much. There will never again, according to Masuda, be a Pokemon game featuring all the Pokemon. The National Dex no longer exists. Not just for Sword and Shield, but for the follow-up title of Gen 8, for the inevitable Gen 8 remake of D/P/Pt, for Gen 9’s mainline titles, the Gen 9 follow-up title, Gen 9’s inevitable remake of Unova, etc etc.

They’re done. No more National Dex EVER. Enjoy your recycled Kanto mons and Smash-tier rosterfaggotry over which 100 of the remaining 1,000 “make it in” every gen.

Prease undastandu.

wow, now I won't buy pokemon sword/shield

Do you think a mainline Pokemon title has to sell literally fewer than 70 copies for GameFreak to get the message that they fucked up?

If the titles move less than 10m units combined, they will be abject failures. For the first mainline titles on a console EVER to be the worst-selling mainline titles would send the message just fine.

I'm sure the switch could run that, dumbo.

To be fair I didn't know about those puzzles until until I saw some one else do it long after I beat the game and did all shrines

And it's attitudes like this that companies keep ignoring complaints. Just because it was said it wasn't going to happen, doesn't mean things won't change.

>Pokemon Sword/Shield has no concept of occlusion or scene batch rendering
>Everything is rendered at all times, including everything behind the camera

apparently their team is filled with absolute retards and their software development cycle is abysmal. Everything is coded to hell and assets are accidentally done multiple times.

If you motherfuckers actually had some taste we would not be having this problem. It's like standards aren't even fucking THERE for these people

GameFreak only listens to sales.
If Sword and Shield sells badly, they'll incorrectly blame it on people not liking the lineup and new Pokemon.
Thus, the next games will be set in Kanto yet again, featuring the Original 151, a new set of starters and a new trio of box legends with no new additions.
Japanese Businessmen don't ever want to come clean and admit they've made a shamefur dispray, that's what makes them have to commit sudoku. They'll shift the blame onto something completely unrelated to the major issue at hand, oftentimes making it even worse.

blame the japs, they don't give a damn what people outside japan think. Personally I haven't bought a pokemon game since gen3 because it was such a disappointment after gen2

archive.nyafuu.org/vp/thread/36988869/#36990662

This. Honestly if you are over 14 and still obsessing with these games then you're pretty much fucked. These games are aimed at children, your inability to get past nostalgia and let your tastes mature with age is the only reason you still play these games but the devs will never cater to you, because you aren't their target audience and they don't care. Parents of kids ages 8-12 will buy millions of copies for their children.

We already know, for a fact, all 151 original Pokemon are in S/S. There can't be anyone who'd think otherwise.

They can't pull the KANTOOOOO card forever. LGBT was entirely frontloaded and disappeared from charts which is unusual for a pokemon game.

i know this is bait but god damn

And on the game being on a console instead of a handheld.

Surely the things people are complaining loudly about can’t be the things people are upset about!

>play S/M

What makes you think Sword and Shield wee developed in 5 years? It was probably in development for 2.

>And on the game being on a console instead of a handheld.

And who they going blame? Nintendo? Because pretty much everyone there or working as second party have some kind of experience with console.

We need another Iwata to save Game Freak, don't we?

It looks that bad because you keep buying it even though it looks bad.

Nintendo's probably tried reaching out to GameFreak on multiple occasions only to be declined because of the latter's newfound Nippon Pride and reputation as "the guys who make the games of the biggest multimedia franchise on earth."
If they were to receive help, that would make them look weak, thus hurting their pride, and that in turn would cause Nintendo's stocks to drop since they're the closest thing shareholders have to trying to get their dicks into Pokemon's hole.

It was before pokemon company so Nintendo had eyes on them.

Now everything is handled by pokemon company except game international distribution.

Gamefreak: shut up and let us be lazy and greedy.

This. Pokemon is Nintendo's most blatant lazy cash cow.

I should really get Cemu. The sequel to BOTW has me wanting to play it again at the best quality. And mods like Zelda or Linkle look neat. I wouldn't get rid of unbreakable items entirely, maybe just bump up the uses a fair amount until they do. But definitely make the Master Sword infinite. Do a run where I dont upgrade armor or equipment slot on Master Mode.

this is how people rationalize when they actually want something. if you want the game then fine, buy it. if you don't like what they've done then just don't pick it up. these companies have tricked the consumer into a defeatist mentality and by continuing to support them with money you're only enabling that behavior.

If only our people were as white and straight as our teeth we wouldn't be in this mess

Based. If let's go had actually failed in sales then maybe gamefreak would have actually put effort into gen 8.

Obviously making the game is really hard, so I hope people don't get high expectations

Nothing. Newfags just like buzzwords.

Didn't this game brick Wiis because it caused absurd overheating or something?

Fuck Game Freak.

Game Freak just needs to be in charge of back end shit and let Nintendo get someone better at visuals to do the graphics. I'm sure MonolithSoft would do it.

The animations are there but fucked. I'm not defending either, it needs a new set.

The models for returning Pokemon in Sword/Shield are the same future-proofed ones from X/Y. Game Freak has no excuse to cut content from the latest Pokemon games appearing on Nintendo's most powerful system.

Haha! Gamers gonna freak!

I don’t understand, do you people think there was ever a good Pokémon game? Are you children? I can not fathom how clicking one of four options from a menu and then watching the other sprite fall off screen constitutes “gameplay”. And then of course you spend eighteen hours doing that some more because 90% of the game is grinding so your pokémon is a high enough level to absolutely thrash your opponent. And don’t pretend the pokémon collection aspect is fun because you could get a much more engaging(and free) version of that experience by going outside and looking at birds.

>pokedex as a reference
Can't wait to see a Ponyta leap over 300 metres into the air when you find it in the wild

So there's a constant updraft under wingull keeping it completely still?

The shareholders know it will sell millions regardless of effort. There was a time when ambitious devs in GameFreak and The Pokemon Company would have loved to put in the extra effort, but meeting shareholder deadlines took priority and eventually the will to improve faded away.

Here's the thing: canonically sure they can just glide in the air, but then they just turn on a dime like a generic JRPG NPC. That's corner-cutting.

Are you sure you aren't confusing Witch and the hundred knight with Disgaea D2? Or did the former also cause overheating?

Both games actually fried consoles.

Hey, if fucking Bunnelby & Diggersby of all things can get in despite one of the starters being a rabbit, anything is possible.

Battle Revolution barely have content. I'm not defending GF either but isn't exactly a fair comparison.

Pokepark from 10 years ago has more soul than SwSh.

>looks like an N64 game
Please. N64 still had soul.

There are no "updrafts" a foot off the fucking ground.

Imagine if NISA did the localization for Gamefreak's games, how glorious the mayhem would get.

Nintendo would immediately roast their ass asap. Pokemon have some game breaking glitches but nothing on that tier.

Thankfully so. In any case, GF should up their game already. Nobody is buying their excuses for not including already finished models in the game.

I heard of at least two cases of disc drives dying after playing Xenoblade 1, might be what you're thinking of.

it looks a bit better than a N64 game in fairness, especially if you look at the character models

i think it would be more accurate to say SwSh looks like a gamecube game, though probably a low-end one with poor artistic direction

>looks like a N64 game
That's a stretch. At least the N64 animated the attacks
youtube.com/watch?v=Vpd47lTOjW0

I think if they just did their games with this aesthetic I'd buy and love every one of their games. But something about the move to 3D with X/Y made the games lose all their soul. It just doesn't feel good to play them, especially Gen 7. It just feels artificial or something. It's like they felt the need to transistion to 3D because they think kids will hate this artstyle and maybe their right, but in the process they also betrayed their long time fans. Of course, it'd be a little different if they were actually skilled at working with 3D, but they're not. Hacks shoulda just stuck to 2D, at least its harder to fuck up.

Attached: Pokemon-GSC-Johto-AzaleaTown.png (544x368, 22K)

Yup just look at Let's Go. They made a pokemon game that was stripped down and streamlined that got a pretty good amount of backlash from fans. It still sold over 10 million copies. Sword and Shield are going to end up the same way. People are already angry over the lack of national dex but it's not going to matter the game is going to still sell millions.

It could also be that Nintendo somewhat "forced" them to do it, since what better way to advertise the "3D" aspect of 3DS than to have Pokemon be in full 3D?

This is the effect they're referencing.
videoblocks.com/video/couple-of-seagulls-gliding-on-the-sky-birds-game-24-second-7fjb2lg
Notice that they flap to gain height. And then remain still to guide. However, even when still, the changes in air causes them to make micro adjustments, fluttering their feathers, and bob up and down. They're not supposed to be robotically stiff.

3ds pokemon games don't even use 3d. Also overworld is 3d on DS games.

Nintendo don't meddle with pokemon since gen 2.

Botw honestly looks worse than skyward sword

>the animations

I don't know what they were serving the voice actors at Nintendo during the N64 era, but whatever it was it gave them so much zeal. Both Pokemon Stadium and Star Fox 64 's scripts are delivered with such genuine ham that you are able to take it seriously no matter how silly it sounds.

No. If they can't handle it, they should bring in another team to help so they can learn and grow. Besides, I think another company handles the models. GF isn't having to deal with juggling the pokemon and the making the game.

Game Freak owns part of the rights to Pokémon. Nintendo can't replace them without getting into some big legal shit.

>GF are going to continually fuck them out of money
The opposite actually. They make nintendo tens of millions every year.

I seriously think Gamefreak have no actual professional animators, and their team have just been bullshitting for years with learning from youtube and other places.

Pokemon is one of the most lucrative media franchises in the world so...probably a metric fuck ton of money to buy them out. I don't think Nintendo could afford it or they would have already done it.

>Those wingull animations on the gamepay demo
it's like they had wooden planks for wings.

Quick! Game Freak comes to you for ideas that they can put into Sword and Shield to make it more enjoyable! What do you say?!

They could probably afford it, but it definitely wouldn't be worth it. Pokémon made by Nintendo in-house or by whatever studio they choose, would still sell as much as the games currently do. It might win back some sales from people who dropped the series because of Game Freak, but there would be just as many lost sales from purists who won't consider buying a non Game Freak game. And by far the biggest issue would be that Pokémon made by another studio wouldn't be a guaranteed 10/10. Nintendo isn't perfect themselves, and they've made plenty of sub-par games in their main franchises. It would lead to the same levels of disappointment that people felt after thinking that Disney was going to save Star Wars.

This can't be real.

So they can sell it back in a later game. They included following Pokémon in Let's Go for example because they knew it would boost sales for a game they weren't sure of.

this is so sad. sonic 06, widely known for being unfinished, has better looking animations. how tf do you have the most valuable ip in the world and then make nothing but shovelware? clown game for a clown console for a clown world

God damn. Imagine if that top picture is how battles actually were. Gamefreak you lazy fucking bastards.

Could be worse

>a gimmick battle type featured in a single generaton, was barely used, and that never appeared again is the reason why every single flying pokemon never touches the ground
>some of them don't even get a flapping idle stance and just "soar" like a levitating loaf of bread with a fan in front of them

It still gets me.

>Don't voice valid criticisms of a series that has too much money and too many employees for what we get in return
Low effort on your part, but it's appreciated.

>rebuttal
There was no argument to begin with.

that's the most pathetic thing I've read in a while
the image you're replying to was posted because OP said "this sucks" without providing any reasons, not because it was a negative opinion
tl;dr kys

>intelligent debates or discourse
> on Yea Forums

nope, nice try user.

>rebuttal to your argument
What argument?
"I don't like X" isn't worthy of any kind of effort apart from "OK"
Now if the guy in the comic elaborated and gave reasons it'd be a different story

Don’t forget it will also be shoehorned into SSB.

>Original comic literally just says "okay" at the end
You have to be a special kind of autistic to make it into that

> person who spazzed at this image missed the entire point of nobody wanting to hear their massive bitch whining but a right to their opinion

> proceeds to slather it in shit rabidly

this is beyond missing the point. this is actively trapping yourself in hatred in stupidity to no benefit.

>criticism bad
>blind corporate praise good

Not that user but their argument is plain as day. They're saying companies who advertise how popular they are fall back on being lazy thanks to unbridled praise by their fanbase. Pokémon never shuts up about the gen 1 pokécraze of the 90s and constantly references it so I don't see how it's a bad argument at all.

>Think your opinions are always worth addressing so anyone ignoring your shit is being passive aggressive
Keep thinking people have to listen to your shit.

That's not what the original image implies at all but sure.

>how trees look like
I hate thanos snapping half the pokemon but fuck india and everyone from india especially you

there is a large difference between a negative valid argument and whining for 40 posts repeatedly being ignored until the point where you need to be validated with a response to shut it.

the comic is focused on the latter and the lack of awareness and need to mock it leads belief that the mocker is also it from reacting in a hostile manner to a comic pointing out how people whining about how they don't like a thing and bringing nothing of value to a discussion on it need to learn to be quiet.

inb4 the point is missed and you can't tell between negative valid argument and whining.

This. Look at companies like EA, Epic games, sony, etc. They all love to skirt on their games getting 90+ metacritics, and selling 10+ million copies. Would you trust any of them with actual game quality if that is their best foot forward?

Worse than lazy. They are incompetent

the comic is clearly aimed at people who don't provide actual reasons. no need to get so upset and presume I like pokemon and didn't just cull the bullshit image from the main board.

>any argument I don't agree with is "bringing nothing of value" to the discussion

I didn't even notice it until you pointed out now I can't unsee it

Sony will peel strips of your jealous Nintendogre green skin off with needle nose pliers.

>strawman
check and mate. good bye. don't forget you got upset enough to take time and effort to deface the comic then slap TUMBLR / REDDIT / MEMECENTER / 9GAG and literally everything you hate onto it in a childish mentality and even on the chance that you didn't you actually saved and then posted it further circulating it.

Odyssey was shit though

>we live in a timeline where the next Digimon game looks like it's going to blow the next Pokemon game out of the water

I love this timeline.

I'm 100% sure that comic was made because some lardass from tumblr saw someone shitting on their favorite OTP or something and got triggered.
I have no idea what the second half of your post means or why you assumed I'm mad.

>everything I don't like is strawman

Just digging that hole deeper.

So what is the point?
That people should get defensive essays from impassioned fans when ever they say they dislike something?

This is a photoshopped Yokai from Yokai Watch, right?

Not even enhanced versions are good anymore.

I think the thing that pisses me the most is that the only thing people complaint about S&S is the fucking pokedex, the game has a shitton of troubles and people just let those slide. i swear pokemon fans deserve the rope
