Pokémon sword and shield were 2nd most pre ordered game at GameStop during E3

Maybe it's time to stop taking Pokemon so seriously, user. And all video games for that matter. Maybe people are buying it because it's a new Pokemon game and they will play it for a while and then stop playing it and move on with their lives?

women are dumb retards who buy video games from gamestop, I'm not kidding, think hard enough and you'll realize this is true.

Not gonna lie, actually getting upset about Pokemon and the people that buy a children's JRPG is fairly cringeworthy, unironically.

No shit Sherlock. Thise games are just the gifts parents give to their kids on Christmas. You should play better series.

Saints Row 3 sold more than Saints Row 2

That doesn't mean they're not buying a bad game. People have fun with bad games all the time.

They're literally trying really hard to survive until the arrival of the next gen and the hype of new consoles.

I don't play it? Where in my comment did I imply I play it or even care? I'm just tired of seeing people go fucking insane over Pokemon. It's a 20 year old series and they've only released the same game over and over for 20 years. Who the hell cares at this point?

If a game sells well does not mean its good

If I'm paying $60 I'd better get 500 hours out of it or it's not worth.

Revel in the fact that your franchise will never have another great game ever again. Money means nothing if quality takes a backseat.

I believe all the threads bitching about GF are autists from /vp/.

That isn't even my point, user. It's not about who would buy it, it's about what that sort of non-concrete statement even means.

"It's the most pre-ordered game at a retailer that's going out of business and already replaced half its video game stock with funko pops because it can't manage to successfully sell video games" doesn't mean much on its own. You might as well be proud of being "the best-selling title on the Discord Store" or something.

And on top of that, it's Pokemon. It's a franchise that routinely sells more units than 90% of games that exist. It isn't much of a comparison to say it's the "most preordered" when it's not being released next to anything that would even have a HOPE of comparing to it.

You'll notice that Sword and Shield are not "the most pre-ordered titles in Pokemon history". You'll notice they're not "the most pre-ordered titles of the year". You'll notice they're not "the most pre-ordered titles on the Switch".

They're the most pre-ordered titles at a dying brick-and-mortar retailer for a single week.

Come on, it doesn't mean anything either way.

Nobody said it would flop. Everyone said Gamefreak can push out the weakest, shallowest, most lazy possible games and their idiot fanbase would eat it up anyway.

you can preorder botw2 already?

Of course you can goy! Trust Nintendo with your money!

Also I don't care about people buying it, I just know this game even more kusoge than densetsu no kusoge is something I'm no longer interested in.

gen 4 was the last game that was really creative and took risks with its changes and they will never ever make such good and dynamic changes to the game ever again. only shitty gimmicks like dex nav and megas and sky battles that dont actually change anything.

>meanwhile he posts a children's cartoon
at least be self aware

The only people saying it would flop are retards. Despite most fans claiming to have skipped Let's Go it somehow sold 10+ million despite "waiting for the next mainline game". There's nobody autistic enough to have completed the national dex previously only to refuse to buy a mainline Pokemon game. I haven't bought a Pokemon game since soul silver but i'm probbably going to preorder this since despite the cull you can always put in hundreds of hours into one of their games and my Switch is collecting dust

Right so both then

You have to admit tho, wooloo alone is worth 60 bucks.

The bad news wasn't revealed until after the direct and it probably took a while to disseminate to people who didn't watch the treehouse, how many of those preorders happened in the few hours after the direct.

Like what? The physical special split was hardly a risk and is something that should have been done back in Gen 2.

Most of the people buying pokmeon games are the worst kind of developmentally delayed adults. That's why Pokemon sells no matter what, because nostalgia addicted morons.

Kids play shit like fortnite.

japanese people have terrible taste

they made one piece,black clover and attack of titans popular

I never said it would flop. Normalfags think it looks great because it's a console pokemon game. They'll buy it based on just that. I saw some streamer during the treehouse section freaking out about the game because you can ride your bike over the water and haunter is in the game. When Masuda said they would have all the pokemon he said "well c'mon guys they'd have to model EVERY pokemon, they can't do that".

Well there's a reason they added "Also, no national dex" at the end of the Treehouse demonstration. If it was in the actual direct, or the Pokemon direct, a lot more people would hear quicker, and a lot more people would have cancelled their pre-order. And we're also talking about AFTER E3. It makes sense that some attendees wouldn't realize the situation until recently. Furthermore, a lot of people are waiting to see how Gamefreak responds to the contraversy to rescind their preorder. there's not much to get angry at here.

No, I said people would completely forget their rage in a week and start calling you entitled if you leveled even the slightest criticism at the game, and that the game would sell 20 million copies and win game of the year.
What I said about it in regards to buying it was that I personally would ignore it and get Astral Chain or something instead because I don't buy games like Sword and Shield where the devs take a fat dump on my face and the other "fans" expect me to swallow it with a smile.

> there's not much to get angry at here.

Nationaldex aside, a lot of people is also dissapointed with the overall quality and graphics of the game, is really awful for what other switch games have done already, even after those comparisons to other console games, Yokai watch 4 or even the Digimon games that came up for vita years ago.

>mfw battle animations
I was actually going to buy this until I saw them. I haven't played a pokemon in over 10 years and a 3D pokemon where you see them on the map is what I've always wanted from the series. But those animations are absolute shit, even mobile games are better.

Obviously it would still do well, you can't put an immediate stop to a worldwide phenomenon that has been going strong for so long. But if they continue at this rate and keep disappointing fans it will slowly slow down and die. If they care about longevity at all they will have to take into account fan backlash sooner or later.

Pokemon was always for normalfags you delusional retard.

Everything post-Gen II was remarkably less popular and normie-infested, you nigger. It wasn't until Gen VI and GO rolled around that Game Freak started slacking off and dumbing things down more, which was also when Pokémon started peaking popularity wise again due to KANTOOOOOO cocksucking.

Didn't this board swear up and down that The Fans hated Pokémon: Let's Go and that it would flop?

Then it sold an eight-digit number. And let's be honest: Sword/Shield will too. 'Dexit' is somehow, amazingly, becoming an even bigger never-got-off-the-ground blunder than Brexit.

Nobody is saying is going to flop, actually everyone agrees that the poketards would still buy the game because at the end is still pokemon and has brand recognition behind, but it depends on which course of action gamefreak takes, also the pokemon community is fraqmented on this issue so even if the games sells a lot of copies it's going to be worse than last games.

>Gamestop's not dying because people aren't buying games there
That is 100% why they're dying, you fucking imbecile, digital is eating more and more into physical sales and people can buy physical copies more conveniently and sometimes more cheaply online. They not only have to compete with the console's own online shops but other retailers selling physical games online.

They're stocking Funco Pop and other non-game shit BECAUSE game sales have been sliding and they need to make up for it. Cause and effect.

Nothing in this game is beyond the 3DS's capability with the sole exception being higher resolution. So this means that Gamefreak was selling both it's fans and the 3DS short for two generations.

These games still all sucked, the GC games were bare-bones compared to the handheld games and had nothing the Stadium games had, you could only register one team to the system at a time. PBR on Wii was literally a glorified 3D filter for the DS games, it had no single-player story, the same anemic multiplayer features the GC games had and you had to have a DS and one of the handheld games to even do anything worthwhile with the game at all.

Stop romanticizing shitty, half-baked games just because the animations are better. These were lazy cash-grabs, through and through.

No i told YOU that you would buy it anyway, no matter how shit it is because YOU are a empty husk with a credit card.

And they still cared more than gamefreak.

He's a paid shill now.

You're retarded if you thought moms and children wouldn't buy it anyway. Those people don't keep score

Keep crying you bitch

The ones you posted didn't give a flying fuck about improving what was done by the previous ones.

They are just as bad as gamefreak. The innovation came from Stadium 1 and 2, and Gamefreak's stagnation came afterwards.

Use Gen 3 pokemon animation to see what hose shitters were capable off

No, they didn't, because those games had fuck-all for content and axed virtually EVERYTHING that made the Stadium games good.

And AGAIN they fucking reused the models and animations from Stadium.

You fucking idiots are like the Star Wars prequel apologists who insist those fucking dumpster fires are now somehow good because Disney shit the bed with their movies too.

Let’s go was supposed to be a spin off. A game made for casuals. Now it’s seeping into the main games and I hate it

Funny that doesn't apply the any of the pokemon spinoffs...

XY is bad in 2019. We overlooked its flaws in 2013 because it was the first full 3D Pokemon game. But 6 years later they do NOT hold up.

It's LITERALLY nothing. Gamestop is the most irrelevant normie tier retailer that's mainly frequented by middle aged parents buying games for their kids' birthday/Christmas. Call me when it sells second best at Amazon, Best Buy, or the eShop

Literally this
Lol good question. I think Gamestop will at least last until this coming generation. They're desperately trying to live through one last console launch. I think they'll make it, but when the dip happens afterwords and the next generation has record low physical sales they'll finally go under

Have mods on Yea Forums given into the pressure and commited suicide? I feel like everyone even outside of Yea Forums gives them so much shit

It doesn't matter how hard GF shits the bed it'll still sell eight figures and they won't change their ways. Just accept that Pokemon will be forever trapped in its current mediocre state.

Not ONE fucking person here said it would flop and you fucking know it.

You fucking know it. Everyone said it sucks fucking dick shit and it would sell like hotcakes anyway.

Fuck you for lying. Fuck your mother for giving birth to your shit-stirring ass.

No one noticed because the frame rate never goes above 3fps

He's literally in TPC's pocket

>children's RPG
You braindead faggots always spout this meme, the older games were able to pull of much more for their time while also being a "children's RPG".
This is just a weak deflection because you're afraid to admit you don't actually have any standards when it comes to anything, even children's RPGs.

I don't particularly like the sheep either, but it's not that hard to see, user.

No one said it would flop.
Everyone said that it didn't matter how bad the game was because it was gonna sell like crazy anyway.
Quality literally does not matter when it comes to Pokemon anymore.

Oh whoops looks like i fucking killed him

>anymore

It went on for a while. It stopped complelty at B&W2 though.

Name me a few Game Boy games that were more full fledged RPGs than Pokemon R&B then.

What is this?
A picture for ants?

>tfw you knew once people started to blindly shit on it the game would go in a shit direction.
I fucking knew it

> Le dank r*ddit meme
Please go back

Gen 5 had already gone in a shit direction. It was trash and it deserved to be shat on. All the biggest problems with gen 6 started on gen 5

sword and shield are also reausing old models and animations from the 3ds games, worse is that they still go as far to cut a bunch of pokemon depsite having already existing assets, at least the gamecube games and battle revolution keep updating then to some extend with no cuts,

this meme is older than you, bucko

The only way to get moms to stop buying this shit for their kids would be for it to have a scare like Electric Soldier Porygon had or something similar.

>make models and animations for x/y
>dont bother to update battle animations at all
>cut pokemon
whats the fucking point then? why did they cut everything? it looks like its going to be x/y but with less pokemon and no megas/zstones

The rumors are that certain Pokemon CHARIZAAAAAAAAAAAARD will get Gigantimax forms.

Of course, you retard.

Yea Forums literally never ever said it would flop. The Yea Forums consensus has always been that it looks like shit but it will still sell millions.

Just because we call nintentoddlers autists doesn't mean were also not autists.

Reminder that while the best Pokémon game is highly debated, in general the biggest decline came with X and Y.

Game Freak cannot into 3D. That's the problem.

>flat
Nigga you even look at that image you replied to? Or did you only notice the abs like some kinda gay boy?

Imagine though if Pokemon wasn't limited to Nintendo products, that would be fucking insane.

People who get mad at Pokemon selling have brain problems. Pokemon games are a commercial for stuffed animals and toys for 4-10 year old. Play a real video game instead of crying that the children's commercial isn't made for you. Yokai Watch 4 will come West eventually, multiple digimon games are currently being developed.

Pokemon is officially dead at this point.

3D was a mistake.

CONSUME PRODUCT

Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee has already crossed 10 million.

>le fat no roads brony

LGPE had the nostalgia factor riding on it, the 25 year old boomer normies bought it for nostalgia's sake and to introduce their kids to the same shit they liked.

There are like 10 good games released for the switch every year. If you don't like Pokemon buy something else. Personally I will buy it to play with my 5 year old niece. Otherwise I wouldn't get it.

Literally no one here said that it wouldn't be a success you retard. Most people implied the exact opposite, that it was going to sell millions because pokemon fans are the biggest drones in the entire industry and that they will settle for whatever lazy garbage that Gamefreak makes. We were calling you a retard for getting excited for a game that GameFreak would put the lowest amount of effort possible to create and we were right. We then made fun of you fags for your autistic petitions to get a basic option every other game had back in because we knew they wouldn't listen to you, and yet again we were right. Anyone who though the series was beyond saving past Sun and Moon is retard and double so for anyone who thought that pokemon furfags weren't tasteless retards who couldn't be talked out of buying literal shit after Pokemon Go

This user had it right

>because Pokemon fans are the biggest drones in the industry
You want to know why that is? BECAUSE THEYRE 5. 5 YEAR OLDS DONT CARE ABOUT THE NATIONAL DEX. STOP PLAYING KIDS GAMES.

>pokeshit-eaters this deluded

You worthless pieces of human garbage are the lowest form of consumers. Not CoD-kiddies, Fifa-third worlders, Biofags, or even Bethesdrones can hold a candle to the what you losers accept. You happily chug down the most rehashed and bare-bones made videogames with less effort put in them than a fucking mobile game. You eat shit because your satisfied by the nostalgia brainwashing you did to yourselves. You're not a normalfag, your worse, because even the most normalfag would call out pure shit for being pure shit.

Back to you retarded animals.

Then why aren't the normalfags calling out Gamefreak for their pure shit, retard

5 year olds play fortnite, retard they don't give a single flying itty bit of a fuck about Pokemon.

You're right, we americans should stop using other gook words like sushi, ramen, samurai, and maybe tsunami as well

S that why every single Pokemon commercial is loaded with children?

>Pokemon is for CHILDREN
>That's why me, an adult, should be allowed to play garbage without being criticized

Please avoid having sex

Because you delusional manchild, they don't need to waste their time voicing their opinions on the internet.

Because they market it towards children buy manchildren buy them the most.

Is that why Gamefreak appeals to the genwunner crowd?

XY is bad yes. You're fucking shit and part of the problem.

>Modern "males" don't care about physically owning anything, only the women do

Really puts things into perspective there

You honestly think normalfags don't love putting their opinions on facebook and twitter?

Yea Forums never said it would flop. nobody is that stupid. Yea Forums said it looks like dogshit because it does.

I just don't get it, why would you want a Pokemon game as an adult. Buy a digimon game fuck. It's the same thing but made for adults.

I mean, they're smart to. Gotta pre-order the latest Pokeyman so their basedboy stays happy while they go and see real men.

Sorry if that hits close to you

Pokemon doesn't even register as topic of discussion for non-autistic functioning adults you retarded piece shit.

XY was bad if you're a singleplayer fag
it had the best multiplayer in the series

>Be an adult

Those are A cups.

no it didn't.

It's POKEMON. HOLY SHIT dude, of course the fanbase is rabid.

Pokemon, even if separate from the Nintendo brand, would sell millions.

Even if the game is complete shit, lets say... 3 titles in a row, the fourth game would still sell millions. Pokemon fans are a literal breed of gluttony!

now try vgc 14

>GameStop
Who?

>he thinks it was solely the megas fault
The massive power creep was only a part of it. The game itself and how poorly it was made/optimized/designed are a bigger part of it.

The "balances" to the type chart made things worse. You know this. I know this. Everyone knows this.

Thanks for reminding me. I an going to pre order my copy now. Remember to have sex Yea Forumsirgins.

How many of you even bother filling the Pokedex anyway?

Be honest.

I did. I have caught them all thus far.

DON'T ASK QUESTIONS

They cared A LOT back in gen 3.

>2nd most pre ordered at GameStop

That's it bros we lost, those extra 50 sales have done us in...

sadly poketards will eat up anything. Boomers with their blind nostalgia will defend this shitty game.

They came back to that story and the writer literally forgot how they we going to wrap up the story arc because it took YEARS to return to that arc.

Believe me none of those preorders are mine.

Where are her tan lines?

it wont flop becuase its pokemon, their loyal fanbase is huge so they already know have a set for the min amount they need to invest on the game for a make profit

When your fanbase is literally demanding for less content and less quality you know they have a problem.
