Imagine defending a mutli-billion dollar company and doing what their paid public relations employees do for absolutely free.
Then imagine getting upset when people dare criticize that multi-billion dollar company, as if they were some sort of holy, sacred cow that should be exempt from all manners of heresy.
Kids, millenial parents, women, they're all gonna buy it still.

>annualized series vs a series that gets to take it's time Sad thing is Pokemon is selling more and there's nothing anyone can do about it.
Mason Taylor
It hurts
Leo Gray
You mean a strong improvement in visual quality over pikmin 3 due to advancements in rendering technology as well as nintendo's own knowledge of the hardware they are developing games on. The only way it looks worse is if it runs on Unreal engine, considering the amount of Nintendo games running on Unreal, things aren't looking good in that sense.
Christian Barnes
>as if they were some sort of holy, sacred cow that should be exempt from all manners of heresy. That's exactly how retarded fanboys think. Old religions have been replaced with things like brand names and corporations. People haven't changed at all despite society supposedly becoming more "secular".
Landon Nelson
now explan why pokemon's straight-line routes are still ugly.
Elijah King
Where do you think Pokemon came from? Inspired by Shin Megami Tensei and Dragon Quest V. It's simply looking at its forebearers to see how they evolved, and Dragon Quest evolved beautifully. Can't speak for SMT yet as SMTV is taking its sweet-ass time...
Adrian Powell
that is the actual game fucking retard
James Miller
I would take this over an empty open world any day of the year.
Level design > map freedom
Joseph Morgan
>my rant about fags sucking cocks is part of the basedboy compendium now thanks user
Nathan Fisher
Jesus. I'm still buying the game butt fuck does this make me think a bit. Is that a recent bootleg?
Cooper Perry
Maybe because it also has a lot of open areas and looks miles better than Pokemon /SS/?
Robert Ross
>Sword & Shit got me into Final Fantasy because I bought World on E3 sale b/c I heard it played similar >friends told me they bought Xenoblade 2 & Vesperia and were looking into FE Three Houses cause they want RPGs & are sick of Game Freak’s bullshit >Dragon Quest 11 & Trials of Mana are dropping & we’re all feeling excited Feels good breaking into new RPG molds on Switch. How’s Ys VIII by the way? I played the Turbograx originals on Wii VC, they were alright for an old Ultima-styled RPG, and the boxart girl has a really cute tummy.
I literally took that screenshot myself and saved it off Miiverse years ago.
Caleb Clark
shills be like >b-b--but they stole the models and animations for other pokemon games that only prove how lazy GF since the resources are already available
Jose Clark
Except it's not. What you posted is what we call a "cutscene", here's your $50 current gen game senpai.
I hate the new trend where devs make absurdly high poly character models while leaving the environment as a flat fucking compressed texture. The new FE game does this too, and it looks god fucking awful.
Bah, come on. Dragon Quest XI is a pretty recent game, all things considered. Remember the previous was X, an online MMO, and then IX for DS. XI was an anniversary title out of the blue, not a beautiful evolution of the series.
Parker Price
fucking cringe. it would be okay if the backgrounds werent so obviously 2 dimensional. I hope this isnt final.
Lincoln White
it's a mobile game
Noah Edwards
So does Mario Odyssey and Xenoblade chronicles 2. But a Port of Dragon Quest is all anyone wants to use to take Pokemon down a peg. 2/3rd of the games monsters are recolors.
Parker Campbell
Its not fair to compare those, because we all know the two reasons Pokemon looks like that.
-Muslim hordes have destroyed England. -Switch limitations.
Christian Thompson
Yokai Watch 4 runs like 20fps.
Parker Mitchell
Notice how you're never playing the game from the angles and perspectives you've posted pictures from, right? That's textbook cherrypicking.
Brody Bell
so does pokemon swsht and the characters randomly pop in out of thin air in front of you on top of it. they dont even try to hide the fact that they dont know what theyre doing.
Angel Taylor
you realize the switch is much more powerful than the wii u, right? and that pokemon looks like shit because it's developed by gamefreak, right? imbecile.
Henry Parker
It's okay when Nintendo does it! XD
Hunter Jones
It's a chinese(?) mobile game
Gavin Rogers
Yokai Watch 4 looks really cool they're localizing it right?
It took them forever to bring over 3
Robert Lee
Pretty fun for action game. A decent amount of focus on exploration and crafting
Jaxson Sullivan
if you are taking mainline only yes but there was dragon quest monsters joker 2, 3 and monsters terrys wonderland and then theres dragon quest heroes 1 & 2 and dragon quest builders 1 which all had really good graphics for their consoles
I’m buying the dual pack as usual, as is everybody I know.
Only literal artists care about visuals or a national dex, I just want to catch Pokémon for a few hours, steamroll the bosses then wait for the next one.
>being ok with poor animations and N64 textures yikes
Camden Reyes
youtube.com/watch?v=k7r9hqVkECA its more than visuals its the feel of the game, u care about pokemon cause of how they look and their aesthetic and music otherwise youd play some other shitty monster capture game
Jose Gonzalez
Is Yokai Watch actually worth getting into?
Connor Reed
Not really.
Joshua Hughes
history books that describe the massacre of tiananmen square acceptable living conditions humanity
Robert Barnes
I meant a game NOT meant for filthy casuals
Grayson Moore
Imagine being so obsessed with a kids series like pokemon that you post threads about it on Yea Forums all day every day
Hunter Sanders
That kind of thought stresses these people out. There is a whole subset of people on this earth who become distressed the second their worldview is challenged by facts. It usually happens to people who were extremely sheltered or have some mental deficiency.
Aiden Jenkins
All video games are for kids Real men don't play games, they launch armed revolutions
Carter Wilson
>People almost unanimously agree the series started going to shit around XY, coincidentally the gen they converted mainline games to 3d >Gamefreak decides they want to make the games less shit, so they can't realistically add all the Pokemon AND have a complete game >This is bad
Imagine pretending to care about the graphics of Pokemon when Ruby was on the same console as Golden Sun.
But the entire reason I'm defending cutting Pokemon is because it means we have an actual chance of getting features again. If the game comes out and it actually does turn out to be another zero post game on rails extravaganza then I'll say it's shit, but it's too early now. Also megas sucked dick seriously.
Julian Torres
And I bet half of Yea Forums can't even name 3/4ths of the Pokemon after Gen 2.
I honestly would've been fine with the bike if they didn't force that shitty costume on you. Why the fuck did they think that was a good idea?
Kayden Young
2 and 3 are genuinely good games with lots of content.
Charles Parker
Pokemon is definition of a casual game.
Christian Clark
There various RPGs on the switch that look better than SW/SH. Why is DQ11, A port I might add, the go to for this?
Eli Taylor
>porting over existing assets on what's likely a very similar engine means we get features >when HGSS & BW had a shit ton of them despite having every pokemon & (for gen 5) brand new, fully animated sprites for 649 pokemon >when GF has gone on record saying that certain features are only for certain gens to give them an "identity" >when SM used the existing gen6 engine & only had 80~ new pokemon yet still lacked many features from other games >when Let's Go didn't add anything at all
DQ11 isn't a monster collecting game. A better comparison would have been the port of the Digimon cyber sleuth games or fucking Xenoblade chronicles 2.
Let's Go even made clear that the ability to port models is possible for the switch.
Joshua Watson
Exactly. But everyone seems fucking infatuated with comparing it to fucking DQ11. Which has like 50 unique monsters tops while all the rest is recolors and doesn't play nor resemble a monster collection game at all.
Michael Cox
You're not actually believe this are you? LGPE is a massive dumpster fire and it still sells like a hotcake.
Justin Walker
cause its not retard
Brayden Martin
Then why do you keep fucking using it specifically as ammo against SW/SH?
Evan Reyes
Oh, so you don't actually do anything from that perspective. You don't move, you don't use your pikmin, you just "look" around?
Gabriel Nguyen
I'm just sick of pokefags' complaining that their games are bad NOW, when everyone else with sense realized the games stagnated back as far as the GBA.
I'm just sick of your autism. The shit you care about is nonsense. You don't want any real improvements to the game. You just want the status quo maintained. The only reason you're mad now, is that they failed to do at least that much.
Juan Brooks
implying Gen 4 wasn't peak Pokemon
Gavin Allen
gen 4 is honestly the worst pokemon gen. the games suck and the designs are terrible.
Elijah Gutierrez
Man you retards just keep focusing on graphics when it's just part of what they're talking about. Even something as simple as adding a new move they have to go through every fucking Pokemon and decide which ones get it. Battle tower they need to add a good majority of the Pokemon with movesets the NPCs can use.
It's like you think adding a Pokemon exclusively means porting over the assets, it's not that simple.
Robert Adams
Yet all GF has as an excuse for why they can't come back is because they are supposedly remaking models and animations. Which is a huge blatant lie since it has been shown they ported the models over from the 3ds games and you can't make the claim the transfer wouldn't work because it worked just fine for the Let's Go series. They haven't made a new animations in like 6 years. If they do give a new move to a older pokemon that pokemon will still just either slightly hop, Wiggle, Shift back and forth, or just turn around quickly While a external special effect flops out in front of them and hits the enemy.
They have no excuse. It's that simple.
Christopher Cruz
GF has also cited balance and game design as reasons, you can be mad without being a lying nigger.
Jaxon Bell
>balance and game design. The Stall gods are confirmed returning. The huge pokemon bullshit has shown to have such bullshit as a high powered attack that leaves stealth rocks and a High powered attack that hits all opposing pokemon and "HEALS" all pokemon on your team. They don't give a rats ass about balance. As for Game Design. It's still fight the 8 gym leaders then the elite 4 and then your rival/champion. Nothing has changed outside of a dumb ass pointless open world bubble.
Eli Howard
>6v6 singles >Smogon artificially maintained meta >Using your 3 turns of dynamax to fucking set stealth rocks >Implying you will even be able to use dynamax outside of a meme mode, raids, and gym battles
Ayden Bailey
>this make me think a bit No it didn't, you brainless drone. Go back to mindlessly consuming product.
Asher Nelson
It's fucking hilarious if you think you wouldn't able to when they let that same type of shit slide with Z-moves and Mega evolutions in prior games.
Balance was never in the stars for every pokemon game post Black and White 2. also Doubles are a thing.
But nonetheless. No excuse.
Jaxon White
If they're too fucking lazy to recycle the rest of the ready to recycle, future proofed shit then why the fuck would they even so much as think of wasting time on optional content, you literal fucking retard? Masuda already told you to play mobile shit.
Post disregarded, every DS mainline entry minus DP was top kino.
Asher Morgan
>gamefreak cut so many features the only left to cut was the Pokemon Man, lack of variety is why Lets go sucked, I played the game with only like 3 Pokemon on my team since Gen 1 has the most boring Pokemon.
Joseph Gutierrez
Buy 3ds maybe, vita is a pice of shit that is worse that wii u.
Lucas Wood
Yokai Watch 1 is getting a remaster on Switch.
Matthew Hernandez
>he doesn't have a 3DS Fucking dumbass. Also the first YW is being brought over to the Switch this September, wonder how that's gonna play without duel screens.
Sebastian Wright
Someone should take the opportunity to make a Pokemon version of the bike cuck meme.
Is the good one china only? Is it a trap with microtransactions?
Ian Allen
Not that user, but just because you're "looking around" doesn't mean this is magically not gameplay anymore. You're trying to move your goalpost.
Eli Myers
It all returns to nothing, it all comes tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down! It all returns to nothing, I just keep letting me down, letting me down, letting me down! In my heart of hearts, I know that I could never love again, I've lost everything, everything, everything that matters to me, matters in this worrrrrrrrrld!
Blake Gutierrez
Every time I see this fucking yokai watch game I keep having to double take because it looks like one of those stupid proof of concept games japanese artists like to draw sometimes. It looks so wrong and weird and artificial, even if its technically impressive.
James Allen
Th pokken move sets would be a drop in the bucket to the total move set in sword and shield but yeah starters should at least get unique animations
Isaiah King
It looks like they just lifted some of the gameplay off of Ni-No-Kuni
Austin Sullivan
Not gonna lie, after years of seeing Blastoise fire a Hydro Pump out of thin air, I was surprised to see low effort, stolen chinkshit manage to make an animation that makes sense. If we ignore Poken anyway, but it's a fightan game so visuals are a pretty big part of it.
Elijah White
While I wish this were true, SS is still going to sell disgustingly well and nothing will change.
Eli Perry
>I just want to catch Pokémon for a few hours, steamroll the bosses then wait for the next one. Subtle
Austin Lewis
See It's a matter of origin.
Bentley Jackson
What would it take to just make a 3D Pokemon fan game in secret and just post it anonymously when it's done? Metroidfags did it, Mariofags did it, Sonicfags don't even have to hide it, when's Pokemon's turn?
Or. How bout you compare it to games that do the same job. Showing that other people do their job better. Comparing it to DQXI just makes me think you are just shilling the game.
Brayden Ramirez
pokemon arguments are basically guaranteed (you)s at this point
Zachary Diaz
The main areas of yokai watch are massive. The main town is huge. It's kinda like pokemon in that respect, it has routes leading to more open areas and towns.
Yokai watch is just a better looking game.
Levi Nguyen
>basedboys are now basedboys what the fuck happened? what the fuck is going on?
user ive been disscussing with with my buddies for a couple days now, its absolutley possible you just cannot let ANYTHING slip or the whole project is fucked in the ass
Literally been wasting my time day-dreaming this since the E3 coverage of sw/sh and just how much of a shitshow this has been looking like. It really shouldn't be this hard for them to mix open world and pokemon, with ample use of dungeons you can still design challenges and locales like the normal routes for players to fight while having the open world exist to be home to the pokemon that (realistically) would be spread over a far wider range than a single route, like any of the ones based on herd mammals (Rapidash, Zebstrika etc.) or birds. Go for more than just possible user, assblast gamefreak with something they'll never achieve. Pokemon VR. >visually searching for encounters in the wild open world, dungeons preserve the random chance encounter gauntlets. >physically throwing pokeballs to catch pokemon, throwing balls to send out your team, physically administering use items (with a 'quick use' option for turboautists that find it tedious probably) >enjoying the proper scale of pokemon that are cheated by the facts all the sprites/models were kept normally consistent (Wailord, Tyranitar etc.) >getting to interact with, feed and care for your pokemon in more depth than just rubbing a touch screen
Give me 3 good reasons that aren't "GF is lazy" and "Switch is underpowered" for why the next pokemon game shouldn't be at least a 'VR optional' release, for the whole game. The franchise is literally perfect for it and would sell VR as a true medium and not just a dead gimmick. Everyone lost their shit over really, really bad pokemon AR, to the point where it was fucking news-worthy for weeks. Pokemon VR would literally turn all the GF-drones into broken, shaking messes.
