Pokemon is a Fucking Joke

They are developed by Gamefreak you dumb shitter

Even Dragon Warrior Monsters was more advanced than Pokman.

...

Except it wasn't.

Eh. They go for different things. DQM is balanced around its story mode, with clear SMT style rungs of monsters. Pokemon tries to be balanced around competitive, thus keeps a larger pool of mons viable.

WoFF and KH3DS both do similar, but decent monster raising using sphere grid/boards.

please continue spamming thisshit thread with porn, don't let us down

Do we count former posts in a previous thread in the (200) game?

I can understand if it was a gameboy game, but I really don't understand how people find this fun. I got bored out of my mind in pokemon black at like the 4th or 5th gym.

Who would have guessed?

...

Are you retarded? The whole point of the games, especially the older ones, was to get off your arse, go outside and interact with the rest of the human race.
Things like Mythical Pokemon, the ones that are event only, don't appear in your Dex as they're after the normal legendaries, so if you didn't know they existed, it didn't matter. They're more like a badge of honour autism.

Shit dude, ORAS sold like 15 million copies and they were considered shit for Pokemon standards even sales wise, and this was before Pokemon GO

if thats the case then the world is fucked, because ther4e sure as fuck is a lot of furries in it

Catching them all has always been just a waste of time. The game is over once you beat the Top 4, everything after is the developers throwing up their hands and saying "there, this will keep them busy". Even as a dumb kid with Pokemon Blue I realized that it was a pointless endeavour.

The most interesting thing I have seen done with the Pokemon brand was Mystery Dungeon. It was basically Baby's First Roguelike.

Stay mad fag

NOT THIS AGAIN, NOT THIS AGAIN
LISTEN HERE FAGGOT, THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN "KID-FRIENDLY GAMES" AND "GAMES MADE FOR KIDS"
CASTLEVANIA IS KID-FRIENDLY
POKÉMON IS MADE FOR KIDS

KIDS ARE FUCKING STUPID AND GAMES MADE FOR THEM ARE INTENTIONALLY MADE TO BE EASY SO THEIR DUMBASSES CAN PLAY IT
POKÉMON IS CASUAL AS FUCK, IT'S A GENERIC JRPG FORMULA WITH A GIMMICK

XY and ORAS each sold more than FRLG, HGSS, BW and BW2. SM has broken records for preorders already, and if trends continue, will sell 20 mil at a minimum.

It's amazing how most shitposters who shitpost about Pokemon usually resort to these two garbage non-arguments. It's pretty predictable at this point.

By retards, maybe.

Buzzwords

...

pls no bully i just want to catch cute animals

Have your every actually tried trading pokemon? It was a huge hassle: first you had to have someone with a fitting cable, and there was like one cable for every combination of GameBoy (GB, GBP, GBC). Then you had to walk to the poke-center, even if you were deep in some cave, go to the PC, dig through your boxes to find the pokemon you wanted to trade, then connect, and then wait like five minutes for every pokemon to transfer.

Of course that's assuming you even had something worth trading. Who would want your shitty lvl 13 rattata anyway? And remember how slow the original games were? Even the menus had like one second of delay when opening. Changing boxes on the PC was so tedious, I stopped catching pokemon just so I would not have to deal with that shit.

Trading pokemon was a scam from the start.

...

Well how am I wrong? You didn't really argue anything or prove anything. You just made loaded statements that aren't backed up by anything specific.

Hey gay queer fuckass.
Those events, while less prevalent in america because NoA is shit dicks, is for you to go out and TRADE.

And the events are mostly online these days.

if only you knew how bad things really were

You seem salty you didn't have friends who played pokemon. Or friends at all. Sorry user.

I mean, sure, OP is wrong, but you don't have to go making him look normal by comparison to you.

Molyjew fuck off

...

Explain.

Teach me your way.

As expected from someone who saves shitty pictures of shitty Fire Emblem girls

Mons can freely change forms, so you can fit them into any of the three slots in your character stacks if they are open to them.

It uses a simplified sphere grid for monster improvement, and allows you to freely evolve or unevolve monsters to fit them into your party's stacks. Because you'll only ever have 2 stacks of each size, it means that even things that would be shit monsters in other games are necessary, as you'll always have two. Stat improvements carry over between forms, but some abilities are locked between them.

It's also got a solid grandia style ATB and AP system that cribs a bit from press turns of SMT.

Those chibified shits taken straight from other games are fucking shit

Why does the edgelord standing behind the strange orange warrior thing look 2d compared to the other models?

The stacking mechanics which can either make you a god or kill you based on your foes. And there are team compositions based on taking down stacks.

...

Or you know, talk to people, make friends, and trade…

Based on the plot you can transform into a chibi for reasons. But this can also be beneficial since it can affect your team composition (chibi counts as medium sized member so you can allocate a larger ally with you while in human form you can only have medium and small party members).

I agree with the chibis having shit design, but the monsters are pretty cool.

That doesn't seem mechanically better than Pokemon in any way shape or form. It seems ridiculously simplified, actually.

You're already there and beyond it.

It is, it's meant to be, and it works. I doubt you'd able to spin a whole series out of the mechanics presented, but it does some interesting things.

Compared to Pokemon? You're joking right?

Wew Pokemon is insurmountably shit.
I play it because of nostalgia, others play it for Nostalgia.
Pokemon in essence was CoD before CoD was itself, every fucking person played pokemon, the nerd, the bigger kid beating up the nerd, the girl you liked who was banging the guy who was beating you up.

They could of advanced the series in any number of ways but chose to fucking add in Pokemon movies, Pokemon shows which added in fucking nothing to anyone other then faggots of both sexes.
They could of added in a number of fucking mechanics, which to Game Freaks credit they did at first, but that slowly went away.

The fucking "MULTIPLAYER" aspect and always "competitive" faggots ruined it.
Mega's were the fucking dumbest fucking attempt at creativity and ended up basically taking a concept from a competitor that the next batch of kids don't remember.

Also fucking christ are the designs bad, no old generations looking like animals don't make it shit nigga, adding a bunch of fucking unnecessary shapes and details make it looks like shit.
The fake starters looked better because they were made by a DECENT artist with one solid artstyle and design idea.
Nu-pokeshit is made by fucking 20 interns 5 design guys who are probably at this point all phoning it in because faggots like the queers saging will continue to buy this shit until one day their enthusiasm dies out, which may never happen but you will see one of these faggots one day, hovering around in their wheelchair explaining to the nice T.V.R lady that they have the worlds largest pokemon collection and it only took them 40 years to do it.

No. Pokemon is actually fairly complex. IVs EVs, Move types and coverage, breeding, trick moves, etc. FF is basically final fantasy 1's combat with ff10's spells, with light and dark elements thrown in.

Pokemon is literally worse than slavery poaching and cannibalism combined…

Pokemon's mechanics are pretty well thought out for a turn based RPG series, and it's due to the separating of stats, typings, moves, especially moves. Each Pokemon having many moves to choose from allows for that customization that helps make it mechanically deeper than most other turn based RPGs. Could you imagine Pokemon being as popular as it has become over the years had it not had moves and learn sets, instead having a generic "attack/magic" command that a lot of RPGs did before it? Like had Pokemon had Final Fantasy's combat system? It definitely wouldn't have survived.

You're trying way too hard to hate something, especially when you have no idea what you're talking about, indicated here:
Game Freak's staff hasn't changed much over 2 decades, user. You don't have to fakehate a game to fit in on Holla Forums, you know.

I have an entire paragraph on why Pokemon's shit you only chose 1 point, as if they refutes the entire discussion now you claim I fake hate a game.
If you've played video games for any length you would now the anger which occurs when you see a good concept fucked by incompetence.

If their group hasn't changed much its just an example of old men losing touch or not caring as much, for example Berserk and its decreasing quality and releases.

That's because they are taken straight from better FFs and put into an half assed game

No, you have an entire paragraph autistically rambling about things that don't matter about the video games or are just your opinions.
Too bad Pokemon hasn't been fucked by anything.

I should've have been more specific and mentioned 'battle mechanics'. ATB, physical/magical elements with status ailments, customizable abilities and passives, monster (de)stacking and team composition (can multiply strength and weaknesses) and the sizes of the monsters can be customized depending on their evolutionary lines. Eitherways, I can't debate against pokefans since its ingrained in their system that it's the absolute best even though it got dry by gen 3.

Aside from ATB, customizable abilities, monster stacking, and sizes, Pokemon does these things but better, especially abilities.
Okay so you already have a preconceived bias. How cute.

Says the faggot saging because someone has opinions you don't agree with.
Style is objective not subjective,fact.
Introducing shit mechanics, in place of good ones that would actually change the game for better is objective, not subjective, fact.

If you don't have anything of value to say stop saging and just fuck off, otherwise you just come off as a possessed fanboy wanting to shut down any dissenters of the one true faith of Pokeman.

This has never happened in Pokemon games, though.
You're trying way too hard to fit in here.

Attack/Special Attack split, statuses are Burn (lower attack damage every turn), Poison (damage every turn), Paralyze(lowered speed and chance of being unable to move for a turn) Sleep (inaction for a short number of turns), Frozen (inaction for a HELL OF A LONG TIME very rare status with no easy way to apply it)

Movesets, abilities and hidden abilities

No analouge, a very nice feature.

On top of those Pokemon has EV training, IV breeding, chain interbreeding for moves that a mon couldn't otherwise get, Natures that act as passives that increase/decrease status.

ATB doesn't automatically act as a good feature and is ultimatley a choice for a battle system, you could make the argument that ATB means a lot of standing around doing nothing.

And catching your enemies to use as allies is a thing Pokemon's practically invented.

You are an actual faggot for coming in here, saying a lot of bullshit and expecting no one to talk back to you about it.

Oh megas are one.
A fucking ugly fucking digievolution, which does almost fucking nothing for games competitive or not, UNLESS you have a very specific reason to have it which you don't as the traits you get in exchange usually fucks up your turns.
No I think you are bud.

Suck a fucking dick pleb. Megami Tensei and Dragon Quest both did it years before. Even FF5 let you do it, but converted them into usable items.

And that's the only point you can rebuke?

Now that I look at her more closely, I understand what that guys was so upset about in re her lips. They are infuriatingly unbalanced.

Why would I need to rebuke you?

And you're telling me that I'm speaking shit. This is the type of reply I expected but hoped you wouldn't answer unironically.

I always thought it was the chin.

That's really subjective buddy.
It increases stats and gives abilities to a mon that it wouldn't otherwise have (most of them anyway)
In a game where stat boosts are by the percent, that's pretty huge. Mega Blaziken was sweeping the meta the day it came out, and Megas are usually one to a team these days.

Then why are you talking?

see

But they aren't. They added something new that expanded tactics in battles for using them and going against them.
Proof?
Nothing you just said there makes sense.

Megami Tensei and Dragon Quest did it differently than Pokemon and FF. I swear people who try to compare Pokemon to either of those games have never played either game.

The only reason people talk to you is to rebuke you?

Well that's what you were doing, you dumbass! Do you have anything constructive to add other then being a pussy?

You're really confusingly upset about this.

not him but he didnt say turn based was bad but his point was more about RNG it seems
although turn based rpg video games ARE bad, but thats neither here nor there.

...

No its not, style and art are subjective.
People were hyped for the fake starters because they actually looked good, the fucking furry bait and shit mexican cat are awful.
Thanks for proving my point, competitive gaming faggotry, the only reason you rabidly defend the game is because you want to stay your sense of accomplishment relevant.

Hardly they added fanservice and a fucking gimick for people to pretend is a game changing mechanics. As much as I dislike current MH they at least actually add in more mechanics every iteration compared to the entirety of the Pokemon series.
What proof? The game is centered around evolution, I don't know if you've paid attention at all to the theme of evolving but mega-evolutions are so mind numbingly retarded and work exactly like digivices in season 1 of digimon.

You are a pleb, but you don't have to be so whiny about it.

Kill yourself. See vid related.

A fucking ugly fucking digievolution

It's a completely controllable RNG, though, you have factors at your disposal to mitigate or not let the RNG screw you over.

Okay the lack of commas and syntax errors make me think English isn't your first language. They did change the game mechanics, if they didn't why are you complaining about them?
I was asking about proof about Megas doing nothing for the games, moron. Also
Not even close, and also

Rebuke your reply? You've actually made it sound worse than what I've listed without me even expanding on them.

So similar but less status ailments and buffs. Other points stand since we'll have to dig too deep into the game plus the stacking mechanics is pretty convoluted and new.

There is no waiting. You'll need to decide your moves pretty quickly especially if you've got high speed stat and haste spell on you. If you're talking about solo where you can choose casual mode where the game waits for you when it's your turn then that's true in the beginning of the game. Look, I'm not saying Pokemon is absolute shit but they need to up their A game since most of the mechanics are getting old. It's not helping when the designs are going backwards too.

Fuck off Pat

How?

You're a millennial aren't you?

Wish I had the Who framed roger rabbit shitting on art school image.
Art IS objective, without objective critique there is nothing to seperate masterpieces from works of a novice.
Or again, you're a millennial and you're used to everything you do being great do to participation trophies.

Oh of course grammatical critique the poor man's rhetoric.
I did say they changed mechanics, just not by much and not with any skill or thought.

It did nullify almost 70% of the Pokemon since it's either mega or bust and the ones that do need mega are left to rot.

Pat you have been ranting on twitter about it all night, we get it.

Now calm the fuck down or i'll tell Woolie!

Pokemon is a game that needs to be played with other people.
The single player campaign is a joke. It's an RPG without a story where the enemy – by virtue of the game's mechanics – cannot be any stronger than you outside of being overleveled.

Yes, I forgot that citations were only invented in the last fifteen years.

I agree OP

No a video which actually agrees with much of what I'm saying but is ultimately someone talking about what Art is about because he has a degree is an appeal to authority, there isn't a reason logic and reason can't be used in stead of resorting to some faggot talking in a video.

Now riddle me this, if art is purely subjective then how do you separate masterpieces from the work of novices?

POKEMON IS THE BEST

Bennett stayed quiet for what felt like eternity, an continued to stare at the floor. Scott didn't know what he was talking about, he didn't know what it was like trying to be a tough guy. It was about not caring about what others think, but at the same time keeping up an impossible reputation. It meant taking care of yourself, not caring about people's feelings. If Bennett knew all of this, and this is what he wanted, why did Scott's words make him feel so terrible?

"I…I'm sor–"

Before he could finish his sentence, the announcer's voice filled the room with a message about the next round of matches. Bennett took this opportunity to scurry out of there as fast as he could.

The Arena suddenly began rumbling as the Announcer stepped back. The two split fields submerged into the ground slowly, and switched places with a new plain field which encompassed the whole arena. The scoreboard also changed, indicating a choice between four environmental fields. The Announcer went on to explain.

"FROM THIS POINT ON, THE BATTLES WILL TAKE PLACE ON ONE OF FOUR FIELDS, WHICH WILL BE RANDOMLY SELECTED BETWEEN GRASS, WATER, ICE, AND ROCK."

"WE'LL BE TAKING ANOTHER SHORT BREAK BEFORE THE START OF THIS ROUND, TRAINERS, BE SURE TO HEAL YOUR POKEMON, AND PREPARE FOR YOUR MATCHES THE BEST WAY YOU CAN! YOU ALL KNOW YOUR OPPONENTS!"

With that, the tournament took another break to allow spectators to get some snacks, hit the bathroom, or explore the streets.

He was eleven years old then, and he was swimming with his friends Eburnean and Bennett down by the old quarry. There was another group of kids splashing around and diving into the quarry.

A child by the name of Andry, who he would later learn was only six years old, became separated from his family. The Gay Old Ace could remember vividly that Andry was wearing green swimming trunks with orange floaties on his arms.

Andry's next few minutes consisted of confusion, curiosity, pleasure, and then pain.

The Ace grabbed Andry by the hand and brought him behind a bush.

He had Andry hold the shaft of his penis while he cupped his own balls and stroked them. The Ace put his penis up against Andry's face.

Huge amounts of cum came rushing out of the Ace's rock hard, eleven year old penis, right onto six year old Andry's face. Unfortunately, poor little Andry panicked and let out a scream.

The Ace grabbed a rock and hit Andry upside his head. He fell right down.

The Ace continued to pound Andry's head with the rock until the six year old's skull caved in and became soft. His head became simply a cum covered bag of bones.

As he masturbated his last stroke on this mortal coil, the old pedophile, the Gay Old Ace, was finally at peace. His last words were to his lifelong friend Bennett, who had just entered the room to pay his last respects.

He said: "Tell Eburnean that first, you must weaken the Pokemon." The Ace then lifted up his last Pokeball with his masturbational hand, tossed it to Bennett, and passed away.

...

Got a Pherimosa through wonder trade. Neat.

Time Travels of the Gay Old Ace

After he was released from juvenile hall for the molestation and death of six year old Andry, the Gay Old Ace was given a second lease on life. Of course at this time he was not an old man at all; in fact, he was known then by his given name, Randale.

At age 13, the first thing Randale wanted to do was reunite with his friends Bennett and Eburnean. Sadly, this would not come to pass. Upon his release, his mother passed the sad news to him:

"Randale," his sweet, forgiving mother gently said, "there have been some big changes that have come to our neighborhood since Andry's unfortunate death."

She would never blame her son for having ejaculated all over the child's face before bashing his brains in with a rock. In psychotherapy, it was revealed that Randale had always been gay, so it was assumed that Andry was also homosexual. Randale's mother held the same belief her son had: that it was the six year old's fault for screaming once the pleasure had started.

Randale's mother knew her son could take the bad news. He had been having sex with dozens of young boys moving through the criminal justice system for the past two years.

"Bennett and Eburnean are no longer friends," she firmly said.

Randale was stunned at first, but then he remembered something that filled him with optimism and gave him a renewed purpose in life.

He remembered when he was buttfucking a small Irish immigrant, a fellow prisoner in the juvenile hall.

In the middle of the rape session, the Irish child called out something very interesting. He began to pray to the Pope.

"Oh Pope Francis," Randale remembered the child saying, "this is Denny O'Brien. Please stop this rape. It's burning my ass. It's turning me gay! Take me back to the Twinleaf Town. Let me use the time machine there to return to a place where I'm not part-gay anymore."

"TURN THE FUCKIN' CAR AROUND, BITCH!" Randale knew he didn't have to play it nice with his mother anymore.

"Take me to the Papist District of Twinleaf Town. I've got some time traveling to do."

He didn't have to play nice with anyone anymore.

Now that Bennett and Eburnean were no longer friends, nothing else mattered. Randale was free to become his own man, his own Ace…

...

Goodbye thread

Time Travels of the Gay Old Ace: Incident at Twinleaf Mortgage and Investments (Part One)

Mr. Staniszeski couldn't wait to leave his desk. He was excited to see his son, since the weekend was his allotted visitation time. The investment banker loved to look through his son's Pokedex and listen to the young boy recount his weekly adventures.

Twinleaf Mortgage and Investments was just about to close, and Mr. Staniszeski's secretary, Anita, was tidying up the office. Just as Anita took her last gulp of coffee for the day, two large men wearing black ski masks and blue business suits appeared outside the interior office door.

One of the large, masked men outside the glass door had a pistol pressed up against the office guard's neck. The guard's eyes were closed, and his lips were moving. The other man had a sawed-off shotgun. The guard handed over his keycard, and the shotgun wielding man flung open the door.

Anita dropped to the floor beneath her desk, but it was certain that the men saw her. Mr. Staniszeski was still clueless to the threatening situation developing outside his office door. He was thinking of his son's Doduo.

As all three men entered the office, the man with the shotgun pushed the guard to his knees. He handed the shotgun to his partner and yanked the guard's wrists up behind his back and locked them together with a pair of handcuffs. He toppled him to the floor with a kick between the shoulder blades. Then he took his shotgun back and went over to the security gate separating Anita's desk from Mr. Staniszeski's office. He was short and heavy and moved with particular lethargy.

"Listen 'ere, yer damn bitch, we're not playin' games 'ere. I'll rape yer straight up yisser arse, so 'ard an' for so long, you'll be bleedin' 'til Fat Tuesday," his partner said to Anita, who was still in hiding. "Open de feckin gate, or 'tis rape an' den death." It was clear these masked men were from the Papist District of Twinleaf Town.

Anita remained silent, frozen. The masked man with the shotgun walked over to Anita's desk, kicked her rolling desk chair across the room, and loomed over her. "We don't 'av time for dis," the masked man said. "Al' we 'av is de time ter feck yer, yer ganky faced 'oor." He started to beat Anita in the face with a shotgun, knocking out her front teeth, breaking her nose and nearly shearing off one of her ears.

The man with the shotgun then pressed two buttons on Anita's desk. The first button retracted the waist-high security fence that was inexplicably built between Anita's desk and Mr. Staniszeski's office. The second button unlocked Mr. Staniszeski's office door.

As Anita moaned in pain beneath her desk, as the security guard prayed to some vaguely Buddhist god, the masked man with the pistol stepped toward Mr. Staniszeski's office door…

I don't get this meme. Why do you normalfags keep spewing it?

hey the holy spirit of the staff is back, I wonder if they have sherlotta too.

She's an NPC.

lame

Thus far the FF heroes (which act as summons) have mostly being main characters of their games. Vivi isn't one, which pissed me off.
