How do you pokecucks justify this shit? Last game I finished was BW, I was left behind because didn't get a 3DS for years and by the time I caught up the series was shit and I couldn't even be bothered to pirate them.
I'd imagine the developer is just tired of making the same shit. Also it is a kids game.
Caleb Sanders
Yes, I'm excited more about a fucking mobile gacha shit than actual mainline RPG. Grats Pokemon. Yes, fuck you, I like it and I want that skinner box in my life. Also
Anyone who complains about sword and shield and still buys it is a faggot who deserves to be killed.
Alexander Hill
Pokémon was never that special, I've always enjoyed it casually and I don't care about 90% of the things that make its hardcore fans seethe.
Christopher Nguyen
It's funny to me that you think that this mentality doesn't make you a blind fanboy.
Daniel Ward
Last time I bought a game from this franchise was in gen5. I never trusted the completely unnecessary jump to 3D and I could smell the bullshit change in dev mentality thanks to that horrible idea of mega evolution.
Piratefag since then and fuck I'm not sure if even that is worthy: playing gen7 still felt like a losing deal even though I didn't pay for it.

Juan Bennett
Misty is perfect.
Alexander Wright
I'm not entirely sold on the real time combat, but that's really the only thing I guess it'd be a disappointment if each trainer is tied to only one pokemon. it'd be better if they were tied to a single type, and you collected trainers and pokemon separately. but we still don't know how that side of the game will work, so I'll wait to pass judgement
>Forced to eat up shit kiddie-tier plot and trundle along a railroaded path filled with unskippable cutscenes
You literally do it to yourself. You can choose to not play a game made for actual children instead of wondering why you keep seeing kiddie shit in a kid game.
David Gonzalez
>Last game I finished was BW I'd say try out XY, I've been replaying them and they're not all bad. It's kind of like Diamond and Pearl where they really could've used a third version to fix some of their issues, but we never got Z.
Christopher Sullivan
>all these mistyfags she doesnt even look that good in the OP
>Last game I finished was BW Did you play BW2? They’re the last really great games before the downward spiral of the 3DS mainline entries.
Matthew Ramirez
>misty's hips/shoulder ratio Damnit
Chase Lee
She reminds them of Steven Universe
Henry Turner
The fuck dude, Sword and Shield still has Masuda as producer and Ohmori as director. One was among the founders of Game Freak and the other has been working on the franchise since gen 3.
Nolan Wilson
>working
I dont think you know how corporations work, user.
Holy based probably not cause it wasn't developed by GF
Xavier Parker
>person doing game planning all throughout gens 3 and 4 wasn't actually working Whoa...
Noah White
It's a crying shame. Which sucks because Wes is my favorite player character in Pokemon. I love his game and his great character development, despite the fact that he doesn't say a fucking word.
Liam Wilson
I want to breed Rosa consensually
Nathan Bennett
It’s almost as if Pokemon GO pulls in more money than every mainline change combined and they have shifted their marketing focus to mobile games. Every franchise you love will go mobile soon enough.
Alexander Davis
PokeMMO is the future. Im going back to it with my friend on Friday.
Austin Morris
Can we just evaluate the way Masters works conceptually? >battles are 3v3 >Sync moves or whatever they're called are boosts or attacks that function like Z moves or the Wonder Launcher >Characters from previous titles appear in this like the PWT Thing sounds like a Gen 5 spin-off that came 7 years late.
Mason Rogers
Release date when
David James
August or September. 100% not July since they basically said on their twitter that they'll be posting promos all month.
Jackson Howard
pokegirl cunny! pokegirl cunny!
Anthony Cox
>skipping BW2 Goddamn you're missing out
Andrew Sullivan
>it's old design misty >but new design brock >rosa is there ???
Then stop playing. You were a child and they were made for children. Let it go.
Pokémon isn't for adults. It's for kids. Just like it was when you got it all those years ago.
Matthew Nelson
Suddenly? Nigga, the last good Pokemon game was Black 2/White 2.
Adrian Martinez
So either you buy Sword and Shield and encourage Masuda to be a lazy shit, or you spite him by buying obvious gach bait and kill the series that way.
Hopefully the movie has knocked some sense into Pokemon Company to show them that to make money you usually need to make it good.
Joshua Hughes
Based
Jose Ward
I'm willing to try a new system kf they take out the RNG from the battles, like FEH did And the "stamina" bar during battles sound interesting and I think they can make it work
Noah Taylor
it's old design, but not original design misty. it's yellow design brought back for legpee. don't know why they went with hgss brock over his legpee design though
she has a completely blank stare though and that's killing it for me. Other girl looks much cuter because she actually has an expression
Owen Cruz
You’re not entitled to a good game in the same way Gamefreak is not entitled to your money. Nobody forces you to buy bad games and if you think that’s the case then you might have a legitimate brain problem
Juan Wilson
When is the release? Honestly can't wait to have my pokewaifu harem at the tip of my dick fingers
Lucas Walker
That really sucks. I want to see a console game where you can just free roam and catch Pokemon, while co-existing with the world's characters.
