Everyone said this game is bad, I'm an hour in and I love every second.

That's fine, Anon. People have different opinions.
/vp/ is a bunch of drama queens
XY/ORAS were good, arguably better than the first 3 gens
>>29295619
The beginning is probably the most polished. You can really see where they realized they didn't have enough Dev time
It's a shame, that beginning was really something

I'd like the design more if it didn't have the belt. I think its pretty clever how theyve made it appear like it wearing a shirt with the sleeves torn off and shorts but the belt is lazy
also as a litten evo its disappointing

I think there were both elements of the unconnected and episodic, and long-lasting themes and narratives.
We had the EOTW and people we would never see again.
We also see Ash grow into a more competent trainer, he and Misty grow closer, and he and his Pokemon bonding.
I think the new anime, despite the "Action" is missing some element of real world grit, like an abusive trainer leaving its weak charmander to die. They still had material needs, like Misty and her bike that she likely paid for with her summer money, and Pikachu's urgent injuries that required immediate attention. Yes, property damage was a thing that they found problematic as do we. There were street punks, war veterans, and thieves both grand and petty about. The dialogue seemed more real, more natural. The emotions seemed to follow a regular human pattern- sad, happy, angry, confused, frustrated, what have you- exaggerated a bit of course for a kid audience.
Every Gym Leader oozed with backstory and intrigue, from Surge to Erika to Sabrina.
Is anyone else with me or am I just sperging out a bit too hard?
Is liking Season 1 genwun pure nostalgia or do you think there is some merit?
/autism
OP faggging it up some more
Hell, the Titantic/ Poseidon parody Adventure episodes were a fun little filler (that also led to changeups in Team Rocket's pokemon and introduced a recurring secondary character) that contained some elements I don't think appeared in later seasons
>Scheming Pokemon merchants
>Large scale organized crime Pokemon heist
>Ship sinking, everyone at risk of imminent death
>Threat is something real-world and external, not pokemon or from internal group weaknesses
>Selfish and clueless captain in the face of everyone else's lives in jeapordy
>Everyone-for-one's-self scramble to the life boats
>Police in formation saluting and playing taps for the supposed non-survivors with a flower sendoff to their watery graves
>Thoughts of actually eating Pokemon
>Pokemon abuse (James kicking Magikarp)
>Large scale pokemon revenge to the death, everyone at risk of perishing yet again in Gyarados' Dragon Rage
Some episodes had some dark shit without being overly edgy, because they were compensated with "yay teamwork! Friendship!" and a bit of humor.
Debating the merits and demerits of a children's cartoon as if the seasons were the works of Shakespeare is laughable.
>>29295569
They had more liberties, since it wasn't suppose to last this long and had the bases of the 90/early 2000 japanese shows, which were a lot more crazier, nowadays they have to be more careful with what they include and meet international standars of kids shows because it's gonna be aired all around the world.
Also ofcourse it had a lot more of heart put into it, it was something new and it had so much potential and kids loved it, now because there's so much control over it and has to be planed to meet deadlines for movies and new gens and stuff like that it harder for them to do what they want
Hi guys! I'm called pookumuku and I don't evolve, I have an ability that triggers AFTER I faint, and I'm based on the world's worst animal! Do you want to play with me on your team? Pretty please?
>>29295544
>I'm based on the world's worst animal!
Pyukumuku isn't a monkey, Anon.
>>29295544
Might try for a bit

No, I hate you.

>ALOAN FORMS
Here's 10. Good job.
And unlike Megas, we have no reason to expect new Alola forms either.
>>29295636
Japan calls the feature "Region Forms" which the localization just drops and all the forms themselves "Alolan Forms"
>Pokemon will never be good, at least not anymore
Why even live?
>>29295399
>why even live
Because there are better games than Pokémon? Play those instead? Or just do something else?
>>29295399
Live until RDR 2, Fallout 5, GTA 6 or ES 6 come out I guess?
>>29295555
Rockstar is shit anon, get some taste.
Team A: 106 new Pokemon
Team B: 74 new Pokemon
Team A includes pic related minus 1 (unarmored Minior). Team B excludes Alolan forms, alternate forms (Zygarde, Oricorio, Lycanroc), and UBs.
People are pretty divided as to how many pokemon were really added to this generation. Which team are you?
Team C:
Whatever the new dex number is minus 721, that's the number of new Pokemon.
I'm Team C: 81 new Pokemon. Includes UBs, excludes Alolans.
I'm on Team if-it-has-a-unique-new-sprite-in-the-PC-boxes-then-it's-new.
Do we already know if they fixed this shit system in Sun and Moon?
I know Gamefreak is incompetent as fuck and can't even figure out how to fix GTS, but this shit was beyond awful.
You couldn't communicate with anyone, not even with registered friends. People had to fill entire boxes with nicknamed pokemon just to be able to say "not interested", "I want X pokemon", "give it back after it trade-evolves" or "no, no, go back to the other box, I wanted the sixth one".
If you accidentally chose a pokemon (or selected "trade" just to let the other person know that you wanted to trade that one and weren't just showing it off), you couldn't do anything at all, not even cancel the trade, until the other person selected his pokemon.
Sometimes, after waiting for the other player to choose a fucking pokemon so you could cancel the trade and select the right pokemon, they would offer a pokemon that you actually wanted. But if you cancelled the trade, they would think you weren't interested in their pokemon and would never offer it again.
Seriously, why is Game Freak so incredibly stupid? Why didn't they fix any of this crap before release?
They also stupidly got rid of the trade faces they had when trading in gen 5. Even that was a good way to tell if someone wanted something you were offering.
I traded a 10 year old loli my golden Magikarp holding a nugget for some shitmon. And she couldn't even thank me properly because there was no chat. Fucking hell.
>>29295299
Don't worry, anonymous trading will be removed in SM. You'll have to be within IR range to trade so this won't be a problem anymore!
Draw a new Pokémon every hour. We start with venusaur at 9:00 est
>>29295233
That's Ivysaur.
Why didn't you start with Bulbasaur?
Consider mixing Bleach with Rootbeer and putting a cotton swab in the mixture.

What do you have against Diancie, Hoopa, and Volcanion?

Face it Pokemon VGC meta will always be stale and you're going to see the same six mons on every team.
They dump one box of new tricks on us every so many years and say "have fun". Pokemon needs to wise up and get on the dlc train if they want their series to be truly competitive.
>>29295520
This. They easily could've made changes to Mega Kang last generation for instance.
>>29295520
t. someone who doesn't even play vgc and only look at the controversial top 8s
does anyone have spare a spare jirachi and mew?? theyre literally the only unobtainable mons i need to complete the pokedex
>>29295091
My cousin has a colosseum bonus disc
Sadly I lack the discipline to actually go get it and do the necessary transfers.
I will say you can wait for SM and Mew Trick from R/B virtual console.
>>29295091
I am also looking for a Jirachi... Ever since the Demo came out it seems as though all the injectors and 90% of /wfg/ is gone
Do you have an extra meloetta/ volcanion?
if so i can trade you both for one of them
