What's with all these people being butt blasted about Pokken DX and USM? I mean isn't this a good thing that we're actually getting something?
/vp/ right now is a cynical hellpit that's also full of newfags that don't even know what a third version is somehow.
There's also people who wanted it to be on the switch but personally I only want it on Switch if it's gonna be next Gen or a remake of something, just more Alola I'm fine with.
USUM is probaby going to be trash ike SUMO
"Wahhhhh Pokken sucks asssss I already played it on the Wii U"
"Wahhhh GS isn't anything special"
"Wahhhh I wanted Kanto for an umpteenth time"
"Wahhh it's my (Diaperfag) turn for remakes"

Rate the Pokemon games.
why is usum on here?
>>32699312
Will he have an expanded role in USUMO?
>>32699284
probably not
Hopefully but he won't.
>>32699284
Yes, this time he will be in Aether!
Post what you deem "cringe."
That thread was embarrassing.

I've sen this thread mentioned in a couple cringe threads. Could someone give me a quick rundown?
>>32701238
I'm honestly surprised it's taken me this long to see something like that.
>>32699208
Because that's how it's always been with remakes? Lurk more.

Because ORAS is an actual acronym. The others are memes.
>No official source claims the games to be an "alternate story"
>The Phrase "alternate story" doesn't even imply the game is in a whole new timeline
All of you guys are dipshits. Why are you guys so adamant that it's in another timeline?
>>32699196
Because ever since ORAS the "deep lore" fans have become inteolerable.
It is just the third version. They've been doing this for decades. They're no more "alternate timelines" than Platinum.

Well fuck me then, but the second argument still applies.
Zyggy still gets cucked.

Gen 6 is the only generation to not get follow-up games.

I think Ash has really done it this time, folks. Kalos champ!1!
*Says something positive about the new games*

Leave.
let's just let masuda absorb android 18, what could go wrong?

I'm optimistic about the games. Shofu said he was privy to more information than the general public and that there's a lot to be surprised and excited about in the future. If they give me more Alolan variants (e.g. Johto mons to coincide with Gen II VC) I'll be happy, and I'm looking forward to it.
why are they so beloved?
Excellent designs. Except for Decidueye. That thing's just honestly bad.
>>32698764
>Beloved
You naive soul
>>32698777
Got it Backwards you fucking nigger
>People actually want Pokemon USUM/Stars for the Switch
>paying for online for Pokemon
What the hell happened to this fanbase?
I honestly have no fucking clue.
Everyone probably forgot that the Switch online is paid because of the long ass free trial.
>>32698758
Some of us grew up and got jobs that allow us to buy new consoles and pay for new services.
I'm not paying for online for pokemon I'm paying for online for ARMS and Splatoon 2.
/vp/ was it ever about the fans or was it always about the cash?
Now we have 3 things be rereleased AGAIN.
Gold and silver will be released for the 3rd time, ULTRA SUN!!!!! and Pokken XDDDDD
Do we really want these?
I have all of them all already, I'm not seeing new installments. I'm not seeing anything I've not seen before. What's even the point /vp/?
Ultra Sun is as much a new installment as Platinum was.
>>32698702
>/vp/ was it ever about the fans or was it always about the cash?
The cash. To the extent that it is and ever has been about the fans, that's because being about the fans is a means to make cash. Nothing against Gamefreak. That's just how businesses work.

Life has no purpose. As such, there is no reason not to seek as much happiness as possible. Finding reasons to be happy with things and explore and celebrate things both old and new is the path to delight. Life has no purpose. There is no secret to happiness. Simply find ways to be happy, and do so. And so, if a new cover and a few new features is enough to make something old exciting and joyous again, revel in it and celebrate it, do not seek to avoid being 'outsmarted' if it costs you happiness and gains you nothing.
How shitty will they be?
>>32698679
the real question to ask is how shitty their base forms will become
Given that this is set in a alternative universe, it might actually be good.

Fight me faggots.
...I'm not seeing the issue.
>>32698670
What am I supposed to fight you on? That's all correct.
just looked it up and it turns out you're right. that is indeed the order they were released
So, there's been a bit of discussion over the final shot of the new male protagonist with something new on his Z-Ring, which he activates by turning a strange irregular Z-Crystal. There's also a few shots of Mimikyu and Lycanroc in dynamic action scenes, with M lunging at the camera and Midday-L leaping in front of the sun. Some people have guessed that these are forme change scenes, or new unique Z-Moves.
I propose this: they're both.
What if this new crystal is the key to unlocking some sort of Z-Power beyond Z-Power? Z-Megas, perhaps? Combining the Z-Move and Mega Evolution mechanics would be a great way to revitalize Mega Evolution after its use in SM fell flat, and the Lycanroc scene HAS to be a Z-Move or similar animation- think about it: it's clearly jumping in front of the midday sun, and that wouldn't make much sense playing at night in a plot cutscene, would it? I'm guessing this is how we get the much-anticipated "unmasked" Mimikyu form, as well as the mysterious third Lycanroc form (presumably, Midnight's animation would show it leaping in front of the full moon). I also suspect that, if true, this will be how we use the armored Solgaleo and Lunala forms, mirroring how the legendaries in Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire showed off a boosted form of the Gen 6 gimmick. After all, it's strange that the box legendaries of the generation that introduced unique Z-Moves didn't get any, but Xerneas and Yveltal didn't get Mega Evolutions, either.
This last point is really just speculation, but if I didn't know jack shit about Pokemon and you showed me that last shot from the trailer, I'd have told you that it's going to have something to do with transforming into another form. Why? Because a bracelet that you activate by twisting a symbol on it just SCREAMS "Japanese transforming hero".
>>32698664
What about Z-Forms? That could explain why Lillie and Rotom brought up that phrase so often
>>32698751
Oh yeah. I guess since that hasn't become an actual game mechanic yet, I forgot about it. Well, there's some more evidence!
Oh fuck, please no Z-Forms. I just wish Gamefreak would wait until introducing more gimmicks which get relatively forgotten a gen or two later.
From Megas to Z-Moves to (potentially) Z-Forms -- those could've been spread out over multiple generations, not back-to-back.
