>Nintendo stopping rereleases

>>386336275
right is dog pokemon from sun and moon, left is new form of said dog from ultrasun/moon

It was cute back when the games were easier to make (read: sprites) and Game Freak were able to reuse assets in a way so that promoted healthy development and making multiple finished games

Now that they have to work with 3D, they suddenly become inept. Their games keep getting obvious content cut. The post game suddenly doesn't have as much effort put into it making it unnecessarily tedious to even train for competitive (you know, a selling point of the series). They can't even keep a steady framerate for static fucking models

USUM will be the breaking point. They had four tries, one of which was a remake, but if they skim out on the NatDex again I'm straight up not buying this fucking game. These people are almost as incompetent as the Game Freak taking 6 years to make Gen I as a passion project without the heart and soul behind wanting to making an entirely new game

>>386335674
But it's got a new back!

>>386336275

It's just hair from its other form copy/pasted onto it.

>>386337235
>Now that they have to work with 3D, they suddenly become inept. Their games keep getting obvious content cut
That's implyng they didn't do this even without the excuse of 3d, or at least leaving nice features out of every new game from the last one.
More noticable now though.

>>386340612
That's because Game Freak is retarded and to force yearly games they have an A-team, B-team system. So for the most part Masuda was making the new Gen while all those improvements are developed to the old engines to fill the gap between games

Since Gen IV
DP: A-Team
Platinum/HGSS: B-Team
BW: A-Team
B2W2: B-Team
XY: A-Team
ORAS: B-Team
SM: A-Team

I bet USUM is B-Team and the Switch game is A-Team

>>386337235
>Their games keep getting obvious content cut
Yeah I remember when RGB weren't supposed to have like 37 extra pokemon that they couldn't add.
Or how GS weren't supposed to have a safari zone.
Clearly it must be the 3D.

>>386341085
>Obvious cut content

The 37 extra Pokemon weren't obvious retard. Safari Zone was though

Poni Island looks straight unfinished

>>386341681
Yeah, I guess I'm the retard for pointing out the FACTS that these games have always had uncut shit since the very beginning isntead of just saying "ugh but I FEEL like pallet town is unfinished" Faggot.
This is how Game Freak gets away with all the shit they do, because you let them. Why should they give a fuck about cut content when you faggots never cared until now, now that it makes for easy and quick shitposts.

>>386340968
>DP: A-Team
Trash
>Platinum/HGSS: B-Team

>BW: A-Team

>B2W2: B-Team

>XY: A-Team
Dogshit
>ORAS: B-Team
Worse than dogshit save for the Rayquaza Episode
>SM: A-team
Worst Pokemon games, abd possibly JRPGs I've ever played

B-Team has consistently made the better games. And even they don't have a clean record. Pokemon Switch will be DP/XY/SM tier, in other words, shit.

>>386342080
Because when cut content starts hindering the game experience and making the games shittier is when you complain. Not when the games are fun

>>386342168
Masuda and Ohmori are hacks that can't make good games, more news at 11

>>386342336
Oh yeah, what really ruined my SM experience was seeing a cave in the distance I couldn't access, that's what really fucked everything up.

>Nintendo buying GameFreak
GF was enslaved in the late 90's due to Nintendo's contracts. Nintendo made billions off of Pokemon, while GameFreak took all of the investment risks. Nintendo was able to buy a fraction of the company, but they honestly hate Nintendo. When their contractual obligations finally ended, they put as much distance as they could between them, while allowing Nintendo to handle distribution.

How awful is it gonna be? Lets face it, Gamefreak can't handle an HD project.

Every single pokemon model already has an insane amount of polygons. I don't see why they can't.

>>386346873
To be fair, they never said it was gonna be HD. They just said that a core pokemon game was being made for the switch

Speaking of, wh6 are pokebabbies getting such boners over a pokemon game on consoles? Do those retards think they're gonna get the OoT/Metroid Prime of pokemon?

It's Nintendo who is forcing them to make more games because Pokemon is the thing that has Nintendo on life support instead of dead

>>386347294
who knows, honestly. I think people are just looking at the potential of something great which will always result in crushed dreams. Look at reaction to Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon when people were dead set on thinking pokemon stars was happening.

>>386347294
Because they think it's gonna be like one of those 200 unity tech demos you always see with super realistic graphics and what not

>>386336214
Yes? Nintendo needs Game Freaks consent, not the other way around

>>386347294
They probably expect some open world mmo type of game.

>>386347515
I really don't get the disappointment. Whether it was announced as stars or ultrasun/moon, it would've been been the same game regardless of platform.

Dude, they've been fighting each other since gen 3, where do you think the idea for double battles came from? Why do you think the gamecube games weren't made by gamefreak?

>>386348363
This is over 1MB's worth of autism. The problem with Pokemon is that the games themselves are getting shittier and less fun to play not the characters themselves

If they stopped making shitty text dump cutscenes and add a cinematic flare so they aren't braindead to look at it wouldn't even be so bad. Final Fantasy VII shows a more lively jump to 3D than what Pokemon does

>>386350939
That's the amazing thing is that Masuda literally couldn't make a good game, just an engine that other, smarter people improve upon. He's always been a blight to the series

If Game Freak stopped shitting things out yearly the quality would remain more consistent

>>386335674
As long as the games sell, then I don't think anyone cares.

>>386351119
I'm calling you a fucking moron for thinking this says shit about the quality of the people working on it. It's far, far easier to fix a mediocre to shit game than it is to make a game from scratch. If anything the B-Team could be just as if not more incompetent.

>>386351394
Can't argue hypotheticals without proof, and proof is most the fanbase tends to hold the remakes on a higher pedestal than Masuda's shit because they're genuinely good games and not half-finished garbage shoved out to announce a new generation

>>386348571
Could you elaborate more? Any sources to back you up?

I wish XY were better games overall. The dex was nice and packed with all sorts of good choices, the PSS is the best form of multiplayer the series has had so far, and trainer customization was fun, but otherwise it's lacking. Sun and Moon felt even worse, honestly.

>>386335674

Listen fucko, I skipped out on Pokemon Sun and I'm damn sure gonna get Ultra Sun

>>386355576
Why? Sounds like you skipped just for the sake of skipping and not because they are terrible games, and Ultra Sun/Moon doesn't look any better unless they have an actual national dex

>>386355983
That logic would have applied 10 years ago when Game Freak put out a shit new Generation and then fixed it up for the third game. It was like that until B2W2

Also USUM don't look like anything, meaning anyone hyped are going to be woefully disappointed. The fact they were casually revealed alongside the fucking Pokken port shows how little they care

There's a fine balance between revealing way too much and not giving any worthwhile reasons to anticipate the game.

>>386348747
Reminds me of Turtlerock Studio, Who shit all over their relations with Valve because they felt subservient to them, Now they make literally who games and slowly succumbing to bankruptcy.

This is why I don't look forward to ANYTHING Gamefreak teases anymore. They're fucking horrible at teases, and incredibly unambitious. It's almost always some fucking weak "forme" or another nothing announcement like a baby pokemon for a line that doesn't need it.

>>386348747
Giga Wrecker was alright
They can't make Pokemon without Nintendo oddly enough, since while Nintendo isn't the sole owner of Pokemon, they own the one critical feature of the games: all of the Pokemon designs.

>>386356818
They could, however, make their own series of monster collecting/battling with their own designs and a twist that differentiates enough from pokemon.

But yeah, GF owns 33% of the pokemon IP, Nintendo owns 33%, and Creatures owns 33% (Nintendo owns a controlling share of Creatures).

>>386347294
Because a traditional 8 gyms elite four game on the console sounds pretty good and has been what people wanted for a long time. pokemon amie with switch graphics and the new takes gyms can have as well as cutscenes are worth dreaming about.

Meanwhile half of you can't even wipe your own asses while GameFreak can do absolutely nothing and still get their games praised. As bad as you want to believe Sun and Moon are, fact is you are all in the contrary opinion. Stop doom-saying and actually start talking constructively.

>I'm saying that you are fucking hypocrites exaggerating for the sake of shitposting
Where was the exaggeration in that stream of posts? Many of the GBA and DS games showed varied use of their utilities while including significant amounts of content which made them easily surpass the standards set by the GB/GBC games. The franchise's regression throughout the 3DS era isn't "exaggerating for the sake of shitposting," it's a measurable fact that people are always addressing.

>>386342885

Am I doing something wrong with them? Picked Cyndaquil, have Bellsprout, Onix and some bugs

>>386362152
You just have shit taste, anon.
But that's fine, is your own taste.

>>386347294
Because Switchers are retarded and think the only problems with the 3DS games were graphics and storage space. Not Game Freak moving away from classic jrpg adventure and exploration. Not dumbing an already easy franchise down further so that literal fetuses can play it. Not bogging the games down with a cutscene bloated story that has no substance. Nope. The problem is teh graphics.

So what's the deal with these new editions of the Sun and Moon games? What's being added? I just saw them on Amazon all of a sudden without any details about added features or anything.

>>386362152
It sounds like you just got used to the quality of life stuff that got added in the later games as the standard and can't stand the lack of them in the older games. Personally, I got used to playing without stuff like moving sprites and 3D models as well as gameplay additions/fixes like the physical and special split, so maybe it's just not possible for you to be able to enjoy them right now. Maybe if you went into the older games with a fresh perspective on the series, then you could enjoy them a bit more. Also, stick to the "special" versions of each gen because most of them have a lot of fixes that make the game a lot better. I guess if you're sticking to the remakes, then you can ignore that.

>>386362972
Idk what shit taste means aside from "I don't like that," I just can't get into the games. Do I just have the wrong mindset going in? I like the Pokewalker at least.

>>386363480
>What's being added? I just saw them on Amazon all of a sudden without any details about added features or anything.
Nobody knows because there's no news, and people are complaining about that.

They also complain when there's news, that there's too many or they don't like it.

>>386363480
I mean I still enjoyed Yellow after trying the eshop one, it's just that something feels off about the gen 3 and 4 games to me that might be what you said but I can't quite pin down myself.

>>386363973
Oh, if you're just having issues with gens 3 and 4, then don't worry about it. People had issues with them when they were released and still do. I ended up loving gen 3 after playing Emerald, and it became my favorite game in the series, but Ruby and Sapphire are somewhat mediocre. Gen 4 actually made me disillusioned with the Pokemon series just because of how shitty the Pokemon were in that. People kept telling me how great Platinum is and that I shouldn't say gen 4 is my most hated part of the series since it added so many good gameplay fixes and new mechanics, but I just can't get myself to enjoy those games because of so many factors in the game but especially the Pokemon just not being that cool, cute, or anything that I could enjoy using.

>>386364420
