Is there still hope?
There never was. If you have any standards you would have known that SM are unsalvageable.

Of course, the third version is the definitive version of the game
Why dont nintendo ban GF from pokemon series
>>33216980
yes, let's ban the developers of a game series from a game series, what could possibly go wrong
>>33216980
Game freak created Pokémon But Nintendo owns Pokémon trademark.
Pokemon has 1,2,4 position in highest selling 3ds games and sells a shit ton of systems. Gamefreak probably has a small budget and huge profit margin. As a business Gamefreak is amazing developers.
After the failure witnessed today, let's have a positive thread to post the real highlights of this franchise
>>33216929
gladly, holy shit. one reveal of one pokemon and everybody is screaming that the franchise is dead, etc.
emerald and platinum are iconic, and b2w2 made me love the series all over again after dropping it since pearl. and i really like their experiments with the game, trying out how we'd like megas, player customization, amie, z moves, tweak upon tweak of existing mechanics, and dropping the battle frontier so they can introduce the black tower/white treehollow/battle chateau/battle tree/etc. the reveal was lackluster, but it was just a reveal of one pokemon. and it just leaves me guessing: is there going to be new pokemon? the vagueness of news is familiar, what am i looking forward to this fall? it makes me eager to play the game anyway just to see what other things and ideas they want to play with with us, y know?

I gotta say, hasn't Pokemon been through worse than just lazy reskins?
mfw everyone now hates midday Lycanroc :(
it hurts, anon
No one hates midday more. People hate how dusk is literally just a lazy recolor of day.
>>33216938
Well now it's probably going to be the least popular now since dusk will be shilled in the anime and it's just a more interesting recolor of midday. Midnight was already the more popular form to begin with.
The more I browse /vp/, the more I've come to realize that a lot of the shit /vp; hates is the stuff that I love in the newer Pokemon games.
>I like the cutscenes
>I like the more streamlined route/cave layouts
>I like the explosive, gimmicky mechanics like Megas and Z-Moves
>While the lack of news today was a disappointment, I still like the look of Dusk a lot
>I like friendly rivals
>Trials were a lot more fun than Gyms for me
Call me a GF cocksucker all you want, I don't really give a fuck about them or the company. I've just come to terms with the fact that the Pokemon series is growing in a direction that I'm enjoying. Bring it on, Game Freak. Make /vp/ hate your games. Make me love them!
I liked Gen 6 and I liked SM but I am still mad about Lycanroc. That design reveal was one of the most anti-climatic and disappointing moments I have ever had as a Pokemon fan.
>>33216885
>I Like the cutscenes
While I do too, I feel they should be more condensed. Instead of 5 1 minute cutscenes, make it 1 6 minute cutscene and just integrate the walking into the cutscene instead of giving control for 2 seconds.
>I like the more streamlined route/cave layouts.
I both agree and disagree here. I for one prefer a more streamlined path to the end, but there should be optional areas along the way where you can find rare items and pokemon.
>I like the explosive, gimmicky mechanics
I agree completely here
>I like the look of dusk a lot
I'm not in love with the new design, but its certainly an improvement over Midday, which was already far superior to Midnight.
>I like friendly rivals.
I prefer one of each, which SM delivered. I also prefer friendly rivals over ones who can't back up their bullshit, like Silver.
>Trials were a lot more fun than Gyms
While I disagree, its still a breath of fresh air. Having gyms be the main method with new things like trials every so often would be ideal to me.
>>33216885
>>I like the more streamlined route/cave layouts
fuck off. it's okay to like the other things but this is indefensible
If you hate pokemon so much, why do you still come here?
>>33216809
I don't feel fine anywhere else.
I have been in this fandom since RBY, so hard to let it go now.
>>33216809
Because they don't want to let go of the last thing that reminds them of the days when they weren't depressed all day long.
>>33216809
I don't hate Pokémon, I hate the new games.
Im looking for a place to get official Pokemon TCG Artwork that can be made into a poster. Any help would be appreciated.
Where do they make the pre release artwork
Here are some OP, they have't uploaded anything past Primal Clash though http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokedex/downloads/
There are newer ones in the PTCGO client but I don't know where the files are stored, I'll check for you though

Why is Pokemon not like this?
How is it that DQM, a series that sells a fraction of what Pokemon does and has very little presence outside of Japan, manages to have things like:
>monsters appearing at variable sizes in battle and the overworld
>riding your Pokemon, not just generic Surfing sprites or pre-set Rider Pager Pokemon, or using Fly AKA Zoom from Dragon Quest
>using your Pokemon to solve puzzles and overcome obstacles outside of generic HM moves
>much more detailed graphics
I mean, at the end of the day the animations and battle systems are still as outdated looking as Pokemon. But there's actual ambition shown here, they're really trying to make something that surpasses what was possible on the Game Boy and DS.
Meanwhile, basically everything in Sun and Moon apart from the graphics could be done on the Game Boy Advance and most could even be done on the Game Boy with some creative programming.
Game Freak is the answer.
you answered your question. Why would game freak go through all that trouble when it sells way more than DQM. they dont have put in the same effort. they have a fanbase will buy and defend what they make because it was their ”childhood series”
>>33216788
>Dusk Lycanroc is revealed to have the best stats, movepool and ability out of the three forms
Will you use it /vp/?
>>33216735
considering how I didn't use the other two for both play through of sun and moon yes.
>Midday and Midnight will be something like C rank PU
>Dusk will be the best by being A rank PU
How would you respond?
Nah. Sticking with my shit mutt out of love. Plus I need me some more ribbons. Doubt they'd be crazy enough o give it no guard.
>like Lycannroc
>Now it will be forever know as the laziest designed pokemon
it's not fair
>>33216707
I know :(
>shit design

>Game Freak announced a new Lycanroc form
Game Freak: Wew lad you think that we have been so fucking lazy? Take this new Lycanroc form!
>Realised that the third form are a recolour of Lycanroc Midday form
Fuck you GaemFereak
How do you evolve it?
I mean, how?
And what's the shiny form?
What's the stats?
What's the Ability and Hidden Ability?
Give a point or you'll gonna have to eat bullets for your dinner.
Your problems are
Reddit spacing
This, OP.
I really don't have any problem with the design. I actually like it. It's pretty.
But if it's still a shitmon,dare I say, even LESS viable than the other two forms,that's when I'm gonna really be disappointed in GF.
>>33216659
>How do you evolve it?
During the late evening like 6-8 pm
I'm going to name her Creamsicle

Why isn't this the Midnight shiny?

Those were the dark ages.
For me the dark age started when Mega Evolutions were announced.
>>33216686
This. But we still are in the dark agesbecause Tajiri left us.

Now idiots can use the shill excuse to shit on it. Sounds like a win to me
Do you miss it?
My 3DS got banned from online and I don't even care because the PSS is now gone. Literally the only reason I used online.
Yes. It was by far the best bottom screen feature of any of the games and it even emulates that feel of the anime when you're traveling around and find other people playing to battle against. It was genuinely a fun feature and it made playing on cart worth it for once.
Why they replaced it in SM for the knock off join avenue and the "hold down this button for 5 seconds and tell someone else to do the same thing instead of simply tapping someone's icon and requesting them" is fucking beyond me.
>>33216576
D'oh, I missed!
