All jokes and memes aside, what can you realistically see happening to the franchise within the next ten years?
I can see us reaching post 1000 mons and being in Gen 9 or 10, but that's it. I see story becoming much more important to the game creators and at least one or two more gimmicks in terms of gameplay ala Pokéfusions, or armor, or something weird.
>>33442814
X and Y remakes
>>33442814
Based on current trends...
>so many battle gimmicks that battling becomes too complex to keep track of properly
>games are actually shit now
>fanbase is dying/dead
>pokemon eventually stops being a system seller due to lack of quality releases
>genwunner-type positions become extremely popular among the fanbase
>>33442814
I think they will keep making new pokemon, that alot of the reason new gens are bought the most. I think we will reach 1000 in gen 9 for the 25th anniversary. We will reach a new multiple of 1000's every 25 years. 2000 on the 50th anniversary. With gimmicks, the switch is really powerful. They can make physical apperence gimmicks like armor and battle bond for all pokemon.
itt: Pokemon only you like
I'll bite.A fire tiger starter is extremely cool.
>>33442543He's my favorite starter
>There will never be a third installment
It hurts
>>33442477
Why not? It's not like it's completely impossible.
>>33442496
If Creatures Inc was going to make another sequel they most likely would've done it by now
It's all about detective pikachu now
>>33442581
>they most likely would've done it by now

Would Gen 3 had been better if they stuck with the unused beta region? It's a shame Gen 2 got delayed so much, otherwise we could've seen a completely different timeline.
Anon, that's clearly Sinnoh with a few minor adjustments.

looks like the beta design of Sinnoh
>play another JRPG.

>trying to "get good" at a single player game.
>>33442404
What JRPGs FF's is pretty easy to understand. Every thing has attacks and weakness indivually not as groups but there is the classic ice and fire beat each other.

Trying to make a competitive Lopunny. Anyone have some good set recommendations?
Right now I have a jolly Buneary with Limber ability, moves are Fake Out, Fire Punch, Ice Punch and Thunder Punch.
if you go mega just copy one of the smogon sets. Vanilla lopunny is pretty shit.
go ape shit with klutz+switcheroo+assault vest to anally rape any wall.
>>33442150
Yeah, I was thinking a set that would be good for mega Lopunny.
>>33442100
Lopunny is meant to be your waifumon...not for competition and fighting. Shame on you, OP.
Who thought that the rotomdex was a good idea?
>>33442084
me
>>33442084
I think the idea of a Pokedex with a Rotom in it is the coolest shit
But I also think GF's execution of this idea is the worst shit
The idea is alright but it taking up the entire bottom screen always was just fucking terrible
Sp. Atk and Sp. Def are fused back into one Special stat. Every Pokemon's Special is whatever their highest between the two is now, and moves that rose or lowered one obviously now raise the combined Special stat.
How fucked is the metagame?
>>33442042
mewtwo becomes horrifying again
>>33442042
Do this with attack and defence too.
>>33442042
Guzzlord becomes a little more viable
Hoopa-U becomes a fucking pain to take down if you aren't using a physical attacker
Same with Xurkitree and M-Mewtwo

Hi, let's play a randomized Gen 1.
>What's that mean?
Using sanqui (https://sanqui.net/randomizer/#pokered), I generated a randomized Gen 1 rom that has pokemon from gens 1 to 6, among other things. We're all playing it together.
>Other things?
The pokedex size is now 251, all pokemon/movesets are randomized (evolutions/types are not randomized), TM's now teach random moves, trade evolutions occur at level 42, Fairy/Dark/Steel types are added, moves from later games have been added, and the gym leaders are all about the difficulty from Pokemon Yellow.
>What do we do?
If you get dubs you can give us a reasonable side-goal or challenge, or ask us to catch any pokemon we've seen in the wild so far. Trips can override dubs and make us release a pokemon. Quads, Quints, and everything else can override dubs/trips and can pretty much be treated as gospel.
As is tradition, I'll also be having gets decide if we catch a certain thing, what party members go/stay, and naming. Other stuff, too.
The first time we run across a pokemon in the wild and we're jonesing for a pokemon, I'll ask the thread if we should catch it based on a get. Otherwise, you'll need dubs.
>The Story So Far
We are Redman, on a quest with our rival BigNiga to complete the pokedex.
Our starter is the "LEGENDARY POKEMON" Gulpin, named Deepthroat, who started off only knowing Metronome.
Everyone in this world is super hot, including our rival and street punks.
Last time, we almost destroyed our elephant, got rid of DICKGLOB since he'll evolve into a dabbing Garchomp, and made it to Lavender Town.
Current Team:
"Deepthroat" the Gulpin
"Roberto" the Crobat
"Glory Hole" the Hoopa
"MetalFuckr" the Metagross
"BROBall" the Donphan
"poot poot" the Skrelp
For me, at least, this segment of the game is always the slowest and least interesting. Usually lasts until about the end of Lavender Tower.
Lt. Surge was hiding in the bushes again, and I realized I forgot to heal up our team. Hopefully he doesn't have any monstrosities.
Crisis averted, it was just a Sealeo and a Heatmor.
This is literally a man in a suit.

Don't talk shit about Wallace's boyfriend.
>>33441927
don't lie
that suit is snazzy as fuck and you want it
>>33441927
Steven annoyed the fuck out of me, I swear he wasn't this into me back in Emerald.
This is literally a man in a frog suit.
Not really
I never have seen art, fan or official, that puts it on four legs like a normal frog now that I think on it. I like Greninja a lot, just now that I think on it.
