Looks like Pokemon does it for all their videos. Probably doesn't want little Mokomo to see an American say Nigger

Unironically looks like garbage. Whoever was in charge of these games thought they knew the pokemon aesthetic and theme but did not. This aren’t even remotely reminiscent of pokemon or what pokemon should be in this day and age. It’s bad, really bad.

Maybe cause I'm not a super srs pokemon fan but this shit looks hype as fuck.

Why do they keep the sound effects the same when everything else has changed?

just fucking delay it 2 months and fix the animations

Damn you're right, thank god.

Actually, this is really sad. Being scared that your bro won't make it to the game.

This is typical not just for Pokemon, but for most Japanese channels. As much as I'd love to shit on Nintendo and GF here for being afraid I really don't think that's the case.

Yeah its 1999 it looks fine, so cant wait to buy this game.

>Toxapex
>Ferrothorn
Is the healthy meta Genie also in this game?

That doesn't matter.
Dynamaxing is just a stat buff and replaces moves with what's effectively a Z-equivalent.
Mega Mawile worked because of Huge Power.
Anything else won't cut it.

Masuda wants to cather too all types of fetish to save the game from his lazyness, user.

If the stat buff is big enough magikarp could be viable. You have no idea what dynamax mawile will be like.

>Stallmons

HEALTHY META

It doesn't get better than Margo. Her existence in Pokemon ruins people.

He has been giving us lolicons next to nothing with SwSh though...

They all get me hype, personally.
I do hope the music is good again. Pokemon hasn't had a great OST since B/W.

You mean BW2

It doesnt matter whos in or whos not because Im gonna be playing the Showdown mode that features every pokemon so we dont have to deal with random cuts

>we are balancing the game by cutting pokemons!

B/W's OST was better than 2, but 2 was officially the last good OST yes.

They absolutely did not say they were cutting to balance the game. They aren't gonna try to balance a casual kids game.

Cuckemon Go fans

If the difference is just a flat stat bump, then the mechanic isn't going to fucking matter. You're going to be using your Dynamaxing solely to counter the opponent's the best you can.
And if every mon gains from it "equally," then Mawile is still a shitter and your dynamaxing should go to someone else instead.
There was an argument for Mega Mawile over other Megas in a team, especially since the mechanic was limited so you would rarely have more than 3 candidates in a run for the average in-game team.

BW2 was BW1 with more, so no, it was not better. Colress theme alone makes it better. The only thing missing is Dennis 1.0.

>Like/Dislike bar hidden
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>inb4 they always do this
Go look at the Fire Emblem CM videos Nintendo of Japan is uploading. The comments are disabled but the like bar is still there. They fucking know. They fucking know everyone hates this game

Gigantamax forms probably get different stat buffs, I doubt it's flat. The whole point of having gigantamax instead of just dynamax is to have unique forms so I would assume that has a gameplay component too.

this. gen 7 was the shittiest generation ever but it literally transcends every other generation when it comes to porn.

They always do it and this game is near the top of preorders. user, you need to not be such a blithering idiot.

And now that they're on the Nintendo Switch, we're creating it with much higher fidelity with higher quality animations. But even more than that, it's coming down to the battle system. We're making sure we can keep everything balanced and give all the Pokemon that appear in the games a chance to shine."

>remove Mega Evolution and Z-Moves
>cite for balancing purposes
>add in Giga Evolution and G-Moves
We are literally back where we started but with 50% less Pokemon.

it honestly is. Some pokemon when gigantomaxing get a special form while others don't, and niggermaximizationilized Pokemon get to use one super duper extra special attack (Z move). It's literally just GF repackaging the same shit and presenting it as new so they don't have to come up with an original idea

>Ferrothorn
>Annoying in any game other than b/w
Dude, Ferrothorn in a Drizzle-free meta is pretty balanced

Don't forget some of the weather wars cancer is still in, I wouldn't be surprised if weather wars becomes prominent again like Gen V.

Who's Margo?

All of the worthwhile weather setters have been spotted, and some of the dynamax moves summon weather.

why?

Didn't Gen 7 have lots of Pelippers with drizzle?

>You can catch Wingull
>Pelliper is in

not him but the whole "muh balance" argument is the most retarded thing Masuda could have possibly come up with. I don't play Pokemon for the balance or the challenge. I play it because collecting monsters and battling them is fun. Every fucking generation has been hugely unbalanced. Why start to pretend now that it's so important that it's worth getting rid of the national dex? GF is a bunch of lazy jew cocksuckers

stop giving a shit about "competitive" pokemon autist. Literally could not be less important when it comes to making a good pokemon game.

>They aren't gonna try to balance a casual kids game

They literally tried to balance shit but they suck ass at it.
They gave mega evolutions to shitters but also gave them to already powerful pokemon.
They gave z-moves avilable for all pokemon but powerful pokemon have special z-moves that are stronger.
They accidently made an overpowered steel type and tried to rectify it by nerfing ALL steel types, thus making fairy types more powerful.

Gamefreak has no quality control and no foresight whatsoever.

pokemon cute and pokemon funny versions when?

where does the sword come from?

Musuda is a known lier

I wasn't even talking about competitive though, Gamefreak is the one that uses it as an excuse to cut content.

Dynamaxing was added for the anime so they can give new forms to popular Pokemon who already had a mega evolution. For example the champions ace is charizard so charizard will gigantamax.

Also Charizard for more KANTO pandering, just look how he breathes fire from his mouth.

Most content they have made post gen IV has been so shit it should be cut. I'm genuinely happy their is no national dex because I firmly believe only around 500/800+ deserve to exist (not even good designs, just deserve to exist) The vast majority of which are from early gens. Chinese digimon knockoffs they pass off as pokemon sour the entire experience for me, I want to see as few shitmons as possible.

So he's a supporter with recovery, a move to keep momentum, and can also throw on things like Scald, Hurricane since rain gives 100% accuracy, or defog. A nice supporter and reliable weather setter since he's slow and will likely proc his ability second.

>When a Made in China product is better than the original guys

Ah, no wonder. Pelipper was literally meta in Alola, they gave it stat buffs and drizzle which meant 100% accuracy STAB hurricane and drizzle-boosted STAB water moves like scald.

No this is even a level more retarded.

Literally won't have their code ported from S/M even though a ton of models and animations already are.

It's already got more preorders than most AAA games get lifetime sales.

They have noticed, they can't do anthign about it and Gamefreak knows it, Pokemon as an IP is shared 3 ways Nintendo, Gamefreak and some other company Nintendo just publishes the games if Gamefreak is pressed or pressured by Nintendo they can easily take the franchise to say Sony or Microsoft so even if this looks like a shallow turd and they hate it, they'll have to taste Matsuda's cock and beg for more like filthy whores

Wasn't this stealing models from some arcade game?

last I checked it was like 66th place on Amazon

anybody got aniamtions from giratina?

Thats from the 3DS games.

I didn't know Verlisify browsed Yea Forums. Huh

I started boycotting pokemon when the games became kusoge. They STILL won't even let you have a second save file. The graphics are ugly, the gameplay hasn't evolved at all/is way too easy, the map design is more simplistic than if it was auto generated, all the new pokemon look like shit and the graphics and artstyle is garbage. Them cutting content is the least of their worries, they have always done this dumb shit, they didn't even bring back day/night for gen 3. The issue is the content that is in the games is literal kusoge tier.

If it's shared, how can GameFreak do that?

They are from arcade games, yeah

It's true they have 3DS model not it's not true for animation.

There had better be more powerful Rapid Spins in the game, crikey

Most of the fanbase has no idea of any controversy, and can't tell a good game from a bad game regardless. The best bet is to convince them it's not actually a mainline pokemon game, as the spinoffs tend to sell like shit comparatively.

Fucking stupid frogposter. The Pokemon Channel always does that.

Because they own more of the shares than Nintendo does and it's highly likely the other company, also made up of Gamefreak employees would side with them and overrule Nintendo's decisions if it really came down to it and as the other user said the current CEO is a former gamefreak employee, these guys are money sharks if they can do it cheap and still make millions and billions of course they're gonna spit on the quality

Explain more if this baton pass ban

damn pedos look like THAT?

You do know there's a whole board specifically for Pokemon, right? That's like saying the lack of Touhou shitposting is strange.

Because pokemon's its own thing.
Most of the shitposts are seperate from nintendo due to the nature of the IP ownership and it's own status as a big franchise.

user, that rock is resting on the hill, the hill just gets dirtier as it reaches the peak

Baton pass is banned on Smogon because somebody figured out baton passing to a Pokemon with magic bounce such as Espeon prevents the enemy removing the status boosts with most attacks, forcing players to actively work against the strategy with a Pokemon who can kill links in the chain before it gets going.

Stall teams that rely on slowly whittling the opponent down with bulky, self sustaining Pokemon are incredibly popular on Smogon and are incapable of doing this, as they lack the offensive power to kill the shitmons used for the strategy before the strategy hits critical mass and kills all their Pokemon in one hit. Rather than accepting an adapting meta which would require teams to carry at least one major offensive powerhouse in case of baton pass strategy Smogon simply banned it.

Well done

That's not entirely true.
While being white does at a factor of exoticness to you in asian countries and is an aesthetic that many asian women do actually like.
You have to also be thin as asians find fat people WAY more off-putting than western cultures do. Having a little muscle definition also helps since most asian men are fairly weedy and weak looking.

So basically, don't be fat or you'll get rejected by asians just as much as you get rejected at home.

Why do people even care about this? I don't even think you can dynamax outside of PvE battles or a for fun PvP mode most people won't really play.

Not a competitive metafag, but aren't there moves made especially for resetting stat stages? Like Haze and Mist? Aren't those unaffected by Magic Bounce? They banned BP because they couldn't be bothered to use those?

This is why Pokemon is dead. Why put in effort when you can just do the bare minimum and let marketing carry the rest? Why bother keeping a semblance of balance? Just add a new type that's stronger than Gen 1 Psychic and kill a bunch of shitmons for no reason. Why bother making the game fun and challenging when you can just let people coast past every boss with an overleveled team of 9 thanks to EXP share and drastically weakened boss fights. Why have something cool like the Pokemon World Tournament when your games will sell just as well without it?

It's something about him that does that.

not him but Masuda is definitely lying about things like budget and time constraints. Really? The highest-grossing media franchise in the world can't spare the money to put every Pokemon into the new game? You don't have enough money for both detailed models of every Pokemon and high-quality animations? Then why do the existing models and animations look like garbage? One of the male trainers' animation is exactly the same as Hao's. You don't have the time to put every Pokemon into the game? Then put in every Pokemon you can catch in the wild, and work on the rest as a free update, or even as paid DLC if you wanna be a Jew about it. But don't act like too little time is the reason you're not putting them in.

I honestly think the game looks fine so far and this level of graphics faggotry is just a ridiculous excuse to whine about national dex.

Hello Colin Moriarty

Most /vp/ autists first game was BW2 which seems absurd to say but it's true. Gen V is so fucking bad, horrible animated sprites, added nothing of note to the series and the start of big circle region design.

No, most Legendary Pokémon are still uber. Mega Fug is the exception to that in smogon. In VGC they may sometimes pull the GS Cup ruleset out of their asses. GS Cup is basically Ubers Doubles.

vgsales.fandom.com/wiki/Pokémon
It don't show the exact sale of LGPE but there's one for Gen 7.

Megatens issue is it's too impractical to raise demons long term which hurts replay value of doing another run with a primary team. Fusions should still be optimal but growth rates and new moves should be good enough to make most demons usable by endgame. You can do this in persona5 but only after a bunch of loopholes.

too bad it's not really a monster collector.

No, speaking from experience I fused an Izanagi and an Orpheus in P4 and P3 for endgame. It's possible to do in SMT as well if you feel like it.

I'd rather give monster evolution a bigger niche compared to fusion. Only a select few like Pixie in Nocturne are anywhere close to viable if you don't fuse them due to evolving twice.

Maybe have evolved monsters' stats be better than fused ones but the tradeoff being it's hard to upgrade their moves to -mas and -dynes.

godammit I want to try it but it's gonna be pure chinese, when is it coming out?

You can always fuse down good moves to your favorites, they just won't have the typing coverage end game demons have. With the +1 on level demon enhancer apps in IV and apoc, low level demons can have stats that tower over endgame if you bother to level them.

B2/W2 remain the best games in the series, bar none.

Go watch the trailers for sun/moon, x/y, and black/white.
Then you realize all of the games looked good at first.
Then you realize that with this many different games though, logically they cannot all be winners.
Then you realize that this means some of these trailers are lies.
Then you realize that people have only tolerated the series due to the hope that it keeps evolving and getting better and better as it goes on.
Then you realize why people are mad after all, because that promise was the only thing keeping people invested in the series at all, and now that its been revealed to also be a lie, people are leaving cause there is no longer any reason to stay.

A person can watch a shitty tv show that tends to go on forever in the hopes that the ending makes up for it. But when they find out the ending early and that its not good, they drop it. They quit. They realize they wasted their time.

>They look great.

>still making games for Gamecube

This. The one time they tried, the fan base went into fucking convulsions of anger. The last three generations are just giant apologies.

If you grind a Raticate to level 65+ it will carry you through the whole game. Every kid uses 1 overleveled pokemon to steamroll through the game their first playthrough.
SMT is single player only as well, so there's no competitive aspect to make you want to use top tiers. De-emphasizing fusing would destroy the difficulty too, because fusing good skills onto your demons is necessary to get anywhere.

>delaying what is now a yearly series

They just cannot do it. They can no longer think long term, only short term. In a way, they seemed to have become Nintendo's very own shareholders in how they think. Wanting to abandon anything good for the series overall in exchange for getting cash for the year immediately.

Gen 6

Yeaaaaa no they are just incompetent/lazy because they know people will buy their shit no matter what. No one is asking that they change their fucking game, just put proper animations in like this.

>Sun and Moon
>Solrock and Lunatone are nowhere in the game.
>but there's an npc that asks you to show them to him

FUCK GAMEFREAK

That's literally the reason they gave, you retard. Even if it isn't the truth, that just means they lied.

Gen 5.

You can tell because this one obviously looks worse. Gen 6 looks WAAAAAY better, am I right?

they went the neopets way and forgot that the unique poses the creatures had were half the charm. this could have looked totally fine if they moved the legs up to the original position and left the tail down.

Oh man, the sprites were so bad, I'm glad they replaced them with 3D Models.

>Better than the terrible models in Gen 6 and beyond (pic related)
Are you fucking retarded? Do you even know what you picture is? Your pic shows that the gen 6 models and beyond are more accurate to the artwork and better.

>don't even have proper animations
Black and white barely have any animations you fucking fag. It'd be closer to say it has no animations honestly, the extent of their animation is just a single one of them ever so slightly moving, compared to XY which has multiple animations for each pokemon.

Not even reading the rest
had the right idea

>Gen V animated sprites are ugly and a downgrade from regular sprites
>BRO LOOK THE GAMES GOT EVEN WORSE AFTER GEN V
lmao retard.

>and better.
19 pounds of shit is better than 20 pounds of shit, yes

Literally PART of the reason. The other things they've said is they want to focus on balance and the other content, whatever that means, and that this would have to happen eventually no matter what because it was getting unmanageable.

Oh yes, I certainly agree. Pokemon looks so much better now.

Pokeshills don't actually play the games more than once. They don't remember gen V sprites are a blown up pixalated mess that just rotate back and forth.

>to focus on balance
Nice job there so far

What the fuck did they do to him? They killed his beautiful blue shade pattern and his blades look way too small

looked kinda menacing
is now sad

I've played B2/W2 at least 6 times, I'm currently on my 7th playthrough. I've also played Platinum 5 times, HG/SS 4 times, Emerald 3 times, and X/Y twice.

Gen 5 was the peak of the series.

This is what really kills it for me. That and the fucking goddamn fucking limit on how many demons you can have at once. Actually the fact that you are force to fuse them to progress wouldn't be so bad if I had complete freedom in how I fuse but you can only have so many combinations of fusions at a time, it really deters you from trying stuff out.

Good. Its supposed to

i mean, do you expect anything else from the same fanbase that are art policing skin tones on the fanarts of nessa?

would literally invalidate the weather rocks but considering current Gamefreak is fine with removing half of the Pokedex I'm sure they don't care.

You ain't seen nothing yet

You're not supposed to get attached to demons in SMT though, they always say time and time again that you're only forced to use the demons to your advantage in order to survive. These are the same demons that are trying to kill you the entire game while Pokemon are all benevolent.

Archeops is fine you mong, get an actual downgrade like Tyranitar. He has personality, and he flies accurately to how something of his shape would

That's the same shit you people say about Digimon. God forbid another monster-based game have a different grinding/evolution mechanic than pokemon.

I know, it's just poor game design because it makes replays less fun. Every run uses similar teams of demons.

Gen 5 "animation"

>That's the same shit you people say about Digimon
Digimon is kusoge because of how the nonsensical evolutions work.

Exactly next week.

Nah it doesn't

Pokemon is designed well for replays. I don't know why this triggers your autism so much.

>Nessa is an early game gym
OHNONONONONO

>Comparing attack animation to idle animation
Gen 5's attack animations still look miles better than Gen 6's. Compare hydro pump from 5 to 6. World of difference.

Are you just gonna ignore how it spews poison gas constantly like It's Gen V sprite or...
Its almost like 3D things in their IDLE animations look better in motion and not an unflattering screenshot

>cherrypicking this hard
honestly, this is pathetic

What's wrong with Gen 4? It has based Phys/Special split, based Platinum, based bottom screen Poke apps, based HGSS, based Dawn pantsu...

My primary problem with digimon is a lot of designs simply don't exist in any capacity at the higher tiers of evolution and there's a lot of samey knights.

Gen 3/4 animation, this is true soul

Attached: 1447523373867.gif (346x245, 2.32M)

It's located after wild area which is stated to be 2 hour into the game according to official website.

I always thought it was amazing how much work they put into these4 sprites.
They remade all the pokemon for Yellow, then again for Gold and Silver (each version having it's own sprites) then they updated them for Crystal to include animation frames.
Then they kept updating sprites with different levels of animations and poses.
It's crazy that they put so much work into the pokemon back then.

the sprites are literally the best in the series.
>added nothing of note to the series
gen 5 is pretty notorious for getting so much shit nerfed in gen 6.
>removal of permanent ability activated weather
>addition and subsequent removal of Type Gems
>the addition of the Fairy type which was made to completely wall the best types in Gen 5 (Fighting/Dragon)
>the addition of Moody, possibly one of the most broken abilities in the game that wasn't even nerfed in the following generations.
that's not even going into the positive shit that Gen 5 ACTUALLY brought in the forms of items/abilities.
also this fucker

>It's not like pokémon so it's bad

>play game for 2 hours
>starter isn't level 16 yet
I guess they're mashing B for the demos to prevent leaking evolutions.

Sinnoh itself was cursed with "saving a lot of data" and the number of TMs.
Other than that, DS gens were great.
What's the issue with that?

Anyone else notice the bit with charizard where the fire beam is coming from above its head

Fuck, HMs

yeah.
aparently it's too hard to attach an origin point to the skeleton and have the attack effects be drawn in a straight line from that point to the opponents side of the field.

jannies are trannies, nothing new

Waiting for the porn...

You stupid fuck, the pokemon don't animate during attacks in gen 5. That's all it does the entire game.
Here's another gen 6 animation. Yeah. Multiple animations. So not only are there far better animations than gen 5, but there are also multiple.

Nothing is being cherrypicked. Gen 6 simply has way more work put into the animations and models than gen 5.

>Implying Megaten isn't
I replay megaten games all the time. More than pokemon

That's one of the best things about the games though?

The problem with the DS generation is a lot of people who played Gen1-3 picked up Diamon/Pearl and it was shit.
Then when the next games were releasing they were older and didn't want to give the series another chance.

I remember I pirated Heart Gold and played it, seemed decent, but even when I pirated BW/BW2 I never played much past the starting area.
People say those games are excellent so it's only now that I'm considering going back.
But I honestly think Diamond and Pearl burned a lot of people into moving on.

Not him, but The sprites =/= the animations, and most of the sprites were recycled form Gen 4
The sprites were fine by and large, but the disgusting, sprite-breaking, color smearing tween they used weren't
So many of them looked like shit, Golem, Volcarona, Lugia, Spinda, Milotic, good sprite work ruined by disgusting, low quality animations
kinda like Gen 6+

megaten already has the fucking purse owner fags right next door so it's not like it could get any worse.

Attached: water_points.jpg (1660x2470, 1.87M)

how come this didn't happen with P5 tho considering how much the normalfags loved it?

doesn't really matter, you could use cheats/save editors to initiate those kinds of events.

I did that during XY when I missed in-store events.
It's technically cheating but it feels cleaner because you're not actually generating Pokemon with an editor, you're flicking the switch in the game save that says "trainer has this mystery gift" and then the pokemon gets the stats like normal.

Nothing, people just look at the slower speed. Platinum is great.

Hell no. Digimon has way better C

This would be great honestly, starters have never been too great and fuck legendaries

because persona is a spin off from megaten, a watered down megaten for the normalfags, digimon does not have a spinoff to keep normalfags distracted

I'm sorry to hear that, user.

Attached: 1550342587116.jpg (442x740, 33K)

it looks good but is it because they only are animating the original 150? people shit on game freak, and rightfully so, but animating 1000+ pokemon like that would be no easy feat.

They really can't add better animations?
I willing to overlook the cut national dex and shitty dynamax mechanic but going further that that would be just paying for laziness.

Also, I hate that Nintendo is not even really trying to be a real console anymore. The Switch will be magnitudes behind the next gen.

It literally did, it was just contained to RestEra and when it was pushed anywhere else, even Twitter, it was shut down by series oldfags who treasure the games

They aren't animating 100+ Pokemon since they cut more than half and even then no Pokemon have shown any new animations, even trainers still use the animations from Sun Moon.

I mean I'm glad I could use my DS+flashcard to get my Gen 3's that I hadn't transfered back, but it really hurts I'll never see my lvl 100 Typhlosion again.
Or the Celebi that I thought was so special back then that was definitely cloned and maybe genned.
Oh and the shiny Golem I caught that was the only shiny I ever saw back then.
Fuck.
