>>26733528
as long as there is a toggle for the automatic effectiveness thing, then its fine. Or the ORAS pokemon finder thing on the bottom screen where seeing it enough gives you info. that would be fine as well, just not automatic knowledge right out of the gate

The fact that they don't let kids discover, think and figure out the shit for themselves like in the old days is the reason all the modern games are filled with "push x to jump", "go to point A
to do mission A", and all that shit.

So fuck you all who say this is not a bid deal: casualization is always bad no matter what.

>>26733937
They mentioned that you don't gain this info until after you beat a Pokemon for the first time, so it's no different than what SMT does

Sure, this is making it easy, but keeping track of stat drops is nice.

If you know it's super effective. Who gives a fuck. It's for little kids to remember who cant remeber all 16 types weaknesses

This seems like a good thing. I always just looked this shit up alot anyway while battling. Saves me time.

>>26734051
thats fine then. although with SMT, it doesnt tell you if its effective until you hit them with that move because demon types dont really exist, just move types

Holy autism

Is it wrong that i'm completely fine with this? cause there is an occasion when I have no fucking clue what attack is effective on certain pokemon with uncomon dual typings.

>>26734276
it isnt wrong, it just means your a filthy casual

Casualization aside, this is the probably the biggest hint that we're getting a shit ton more multityped moves.

>>26732407
I already know the chart by heart, all it will do is save me the thirty seconds I might have needed to remember if fighting resists poison.

>>26734276
Of course, anon. If you don't like a feature then it ruins the game. That's how it works.

>>26734301
Just like infinite tms am i rite?

>>26732407
Move information's always been accessible mid-battle. It's just been difficult to get to.

This is literally just a shortcut, faggot.

>>26734261
You also didn't have as many types as you had back then and all the more sophisticated changes to type weaknesses as well.

So this kills The little meta tha Zoroark had right?

>>26732407
>that big ass-screen

Am I the only one that thinks there could be space for more moves now? At least 6 IMO

>>26734253
How are any of those a problem with Rotom being a new sort of holocaster?
The type effectivity is redundant rather than casual.

>>26732407
Who the fuck cares? If you already know the type chart you can just ignore this, if you don't know it on a competitive fucking level though this is actually a good addition.

>>26734267
It's called making shit easier until kids are unable to go through something like Mt.Coronet.
We all know what happened after DPPt and we all know why that happened, so don't go saying this is fine now.

You think a kid of today would be able to solve, let's say for example, Zelda Oracle of Time?
I got games completed up to 100% when I was a kid, and with no internet, in fact having internet was rare on those days.

Holy underage casual.

>>26734276
no, everybody on this fucking board already knows how the type chart works, so this change has virtually no difference for any of the people complaining

If you're worried about casualization, worry about whether opponent teams in game will be a shit, or if the postgame is gonna be riding bikes around a circle for the 3rd time in a row.

>>26734438
Of course not

>>26734364
thats fine because they became super expensive and not needlessly limited

>>26734098
Because we enjoy this game for children.

>>26734276
it isn't wrong, it just means that people like >>26734301 think they're hot shit for memorizing stuff from a kid's game

>>26733076

You mean the trainer school in every game along with all the NPCs who give you hints?

>>26734041
It's a quality of life change. You get the info once you defeated the mon for the first time. So there's NO difference with looking it up online (exept having to actually look it up).

>>26734098
I may not be the main demographic anymore, I still like the games, and I love battling and training my mons.
I literaly don't care if the game is easy, I'm nuzlocking every one of my games since B/W, (didn't in ORAS), and will do so in SM too.

Face it, every gen up until Gen 5 sold a fuckton and most 11 year olds could play and complete them without having their hand held constantly. Pokemon doesn't NEED to be this casualized, but the disease is spreading. Yeah, its a fucking children's game. OF COURSE its a childrens game, but that's no excuse whatsoever.

Pokemon is fucking dead.

I like it. Obviously I pretty much know the entire type chart by now, but I don't want to have to look up a Pokemon just to know it's type and figure out if I'll be super effective or not. They didn't casualize it, they just made it quicker to figure out if you're super effective instead of making you waste time looking it up. I hope they show a difference between 4x and 2x weaknesses.

>>26734950
>getting this mad about it in the first place

There's no argument here to begin with, you're whining about a kid's game that's not made for adults and was already easy as shit to begin with having some quality of life additions that affects your life not in the slightest.

Funny how you mention Smogon when Pokemon Showdown has a feature that let's you find out the type weaknesses of a specific Pokemon.

>>26734514
This. What matters in the long run is the quality of the post-game and how solid the competitive scene is. Everything else is just a QOL upgrade.

>>26735104
The fact that you even have to exaggerate just shows how petty it is to complain about this.

I'll be glad to bitch about casualization alongside you if something of actual substance is changed for the worst, but this is truly a non-issue. Having type matchup cues on the move screen won't save you if your opponent has coverage moves, anyways.

>>26734916
>>26735007
>it doesn't affect you, why don't you liek it? :^)
It's amazing how little vision of future or poor capacity to put 2 and 2 together people like you have.

My concern isn't about how it affects me. Of course at this point this is a trivial change that has no negative effect on my runs as I know the type effectiveness very well etc.

My concern is how this affect the future players, who are kids now, and how they will affect future games (not only pokemon).
Because as it has been already explained by other posters (whose points you're ignoring); it decreased the capacity of kids to think and solve problems for themselves, which make them whine about already easy games being too hard, which ends up with developers making games even more casual.
My concern is not about pokemon. This has been happening in the industry for generations.
And I find amazing how you're ignoring this considering we have one of the most perfect examples in Pokemon with the case of Mt.Coronet.

Hilarious that the only "arguments" you're all spouting are ad hominems, "you're so mad" posts and "it's a childrens gaym m8".

You have no argument, either. You're angry because they did something you don't like, that doesn't fit your personal idea of what the game should be and do. So you're going to nonstop rage over something that's the exact same thing as looking up Serebii or GameFAQS. Did you get this angry when those sites were created and "casualized" Pokemon?

It's a fucking children's hobby, save your energy and rage for more important things that actually affect your life.

I'm not pissed, just worried.
And that is not teaching, that is permanent hand-holding.

THAT, is teaching. Teaching is when you get shown something that you'll need to remember from that point.

I'm concerned because this kind of thing has already been proven to make games more easier. We're not talking about just pokemon here.
>acting like five-year-olds are as smart and experienced as your old ass who's played for twenty years and can fart the type chart
Today's kids couldn't hope to complete the three original Spyros (unlike the kids that played them on their time) and that is thanks to the casualization the industry has been suffering.

>>26735710
The point is, there is no point in making the games easier if it's blatantly failing at attracting a wider audience. Early gens did not need this level of casualization to sell that well.

>>26735503
It's J U S T information. How foes this change anythin?

If you want to ignore pandering shit like this, then whatever. Continue to be spoon fed like a fucking minor and pre-order the damn thing.

>>26735948

Pokemon died with OR/AS. With X/Y's release came the diagnosis. Mega Evolutions, the EXP. share, easy gym leaders and rivals. Then OR/AS came along and gave some more legendaries Mega Evolutions for some reason, while forcing tons of legendaries on you.

It's so fucking easy to ''ignore'' this, or ''not use'' that, but in the end, the players who grew up with these games - 50% of the target audience - remember the games that were still aiming at the same age group, but actually had some degree of challenge. They weren't hard, but they weren't ''babby's first handheld game'' and they sold millions just the same.

This though. my three younger cousins were all able to beat DP, HGSS, BW, B2W2 and ORAS in that order. The youngest is now 8 and the oldest is 12. And this did this with barely any help from me and no help from the internet, in a language they didn't even speak (we're Dutch). Why does everyone think kids can't do anything on their own? Discovering is supposed to be part of the fun. I could do it, and I'm sure most here didn't look up a type chart when they started.

I hope they will make pokedex useful. Why I should use fuckin wiki for stats and other shit like autist? It's game for portative console, just put all information in pokedex. And make IV shit visible. or delete IV system completely. Everyone using perfects anyway. It's just time consuming function

>>26736206

This is gamefreak we're talking about, not spike-chunsoft. Spike Chunsoft has made challenging games before and continue to do so.

Gamefreak is afraid of challenge, hence why their games are getting easier and easier.

>>26732407
Pokemon has always been a casual game so I guess it's nothing new..

>>26736226
>I'm going to ignore because it means nothing to me
So since you don't want to argue about it, you're only in this thread to through insults around at people with a different opinion?
Welp.

lmao they fucked up with this shit
this better be not in competitive/online battles.

>>26736254
If SM is piss easy, it'll probably be because they continued the shitty trend of nobody using more than 3 Pokemon, and still refusing to bring back challenge mode. Not because of a quality of life feature that shows info that everybody on this board already knows by heart from playing these games for 20 fucking years.

This is reminding me of people getting mad about infinite TMs when all that did was remove the stupid hoarding aspect of techinical machines so people wouldn't have to beg for more through trades.

>>26736302
You're angry over the game letting you know what would work best. It has absolutely no affect on you because you already know. So you have to turn to "Think of the children!" and "This means all video games forever are doomed!". Both of which are retarded. When they do something that actually does fundamentlaly change the gameplay system, like making all battles Triple Battles, making it an action RPG like Kingdom Hearts, or completely redoing the Type chart, then you'll have something to make a big stinky over.

>>26734505

What was wrong with all these? I never looked up a type chart when I was a kid because it wasn't really difficult to figure it out, I'm not special or smart. Most of the type matchups are obvious and the ones that aren't you just learn along the way.

Is it really so bad to have people occasionally use the wrong move? If you take away the risk/reward element of battling the game will get boring very quickly.

>>26736338

You're extremely angry over anons having different opinions than yours. So you have to ignore the points made and saying they're retarded because you have no counter argument at all.
All you've been doing since your first post is throw insults and ad hominems around the place. You think that's arguing? Kek, that's the definition of shitposting.

>>26735422
why do you care? You already know the type matchups, and it'll probably be disabled through the settings

Either way it's sad how you're writing an essay over a fucking childrens game, I dont like the feature but /vp/ is shit and it isnt worth an autistic thread that amounts to nothing

this is made by Game Freak of all devs too

>>26736449
How about through trial and error, which is apparently too hard for kids nowadays (I'm not the anon you're replying to btw)

>>26736449
that's the entire point of sudowoodo you faggot. you're supposed to be taken aback and figure out what's going on. it's a gameplay experience that they are no longer capable of putting into their games

It stupid to call something that doesn't make a game any easier or harder "casualization".

You even admit that you like the feature, what is the problem? There is difference between having better visuals on when a stat buff is going to end and nobody but the champion being allowed to use more than 3 Pokemon against your 6.

>>26735715
They flat out said during the treehouse thing that they hoped to expand the demographic as much as possible. You are literally raging over an option easily ignored only meant for people who might like or need it.

Kids sucked ass at playing games in the past and suck ass playing games now. It took fucking hours to get through parts as kids and as adults games can be completed with our eyes closed. Go back and actually play those old games and tell me they are difficult beyond shit controls and glitches ruining your progress.

All this does is cut out the middle man and keeps your attention on the game instead of being distracted while looking for type match ups on the Internet. Its still a learning experience because the game teaches you what moves are effective against certain types. And it still involves trial and error because it doesn't show the hints until after you defeat that pokemon for the first time.

Just admit you're a hateful retard and stop posting.

Feck off with this shit. Children don't need someone to hold their hand through the entire game. Even they require some sort of challenge to enjoy a game.

this

people who argue against people who get mad at this just need it because they always lose on battle spot!

Quick! Name every type that a bug/fire interacts with defensively.

Dont google, use the top of your head.

All of your explanations are those over and over again. Sorry that I find your whining over this to be really dumn, but that's how it is.

>>26736738
You realize that your post is a red herring, an actual logical fallacy?

Youre still very obviously upset that the game doesn't fit your point of view and justifying it with 'think of the children' which, by the way, is also the logical fallacy emotional appeal.

But keep showing everyone how retarded you are, I'm sure someone's getting a kick out of it.

Reducing the arguments to buzzwords does not negates them.
>where the entire world becomes a casual paradise thanks to Sun & Moon
I'm just saying this is the kind of thing that has made the games more casual and easy over the years with shit like "press button Y to attack".
I did not say in any post that SM will be the sole responsible not the lone causer of the future casualization of other games.
You're literally strawmanning.

>casualization
The games were never difficult, even games like SMTIV do the same thing, which is a game that would actually be a challenge for children.
Quality of life changes do nothing but make you have to remember less and focus more on the battle,
>>26736828
I'm not even that anon though, I just popped in to say that your fallacy buzzwords can be used against you. You're just doing the ole /v/ trick of saying "I'm right, here's why you can't debate this". Well, either baiting or very headstrong over non-issues.

You don't pick the move a Pokemon will resist. You pick the one that's super effective. If you asked what types Volcarona is weak do, I guarantee you'd get a horde of posts listing "flying, water, and rock."

>>26735218

do you actually believe that learning pokemon types requires some sort of complex problem solving for kids?

are you this fucking retarded?

i very much hope that children don't rely on playing fucking pokemon to be educated, christ almighty.

>>26736864
There are tons of RPGs that have features like this. Are you going to tell me that fucking Etrian Odyssey is casualized and easy because you can look at what the current buff set up is when your turn comes up?

>>26736117
>tfw never used this because I didn't want any help

>>26736885
Ok. Let's see it again.

That feature wasn't in older games.

Now it's on new games.

That feature helps you to check stats variations.

This means easier.

Easier stands for more easy.

Easy is not harder nor the same as before.
Am I forgiving anything else?

It isn't at all, you don't even know what that even means.
>Youre still very obviously upset that the game doesn't fit your point of view and justifying it with....
You're completely unable to accept that someone has a different opinion, so your only escape from that possibility is to think that the other guy is "very mad" and that his arguments are a "justification".
It's pathetic to be honest. But keep at it, I am getting a kick out of it, kinda.

Bug is weak to Fire, Flying, and Rock. I know it resists Fighting and Grass.
Fire is weak to Rock, Ground, and water. Fire obviously resists Fire, and I think(?) Bug resists Ground, so those two would be neutral.

You would be best off using a Rock-type move, and if you don't have one, use a Water- or- Flying-type move.


I can't name all the resistances, but I know what hits it super effectively and I know plenty of common types that hit it neutrally like Normal.

Furthermore, if you're a kid and don't know this or don't know the opponent's Pokémon is Fire/Bug, that's half the fun, discovering that it is.

Like I mentioned in >>26736756 you could just have an in-game type chart for players to look at, you don't have to literally hold the players' hands telling them what moves to use.

>>26736864
Yeah, because I of course I wouldn't take notes on stat boost. Now I can just look at the screen, It isn't easier, it's convenient.
If you chose to not write down the stat boosts before, now you can juste ignore the stat boost on the screen.

it's a solution to requiring memorization of actually worthless information.

>>26737009
Breeding wasn't in Pokemon before Gen 2
Abilities and Natures weren't in Pokemon until Gen 3
Physical and Special attacks weren't in Pokemon until Gen 4

Therefore we should dump everything that wasn't in Gen 1 because they make the game easier and more casual.

>>26736982
>But this wasn't on Pokémon before

It also wasn't always a part of Etrian Odyssey, when it was added, you didn't see the EO fanbase scream about casualization because they actually the difference between a simple QoL feature in UI and something that legitimately effects the difficulty of gameplay.

Knowing what buffs are active will not save you if you have not idea how to ACT moving forward.

Imagine you are 8 years old. You play on ORAS or older. You see how the opponent makes a move that boosts something, but you don't know what just happened.

Some of the damaging Shadow moves used Attack and Defense in the formula, other used Sp. Atk and Sp. Def.

We're talking about the Type chart and how Types interact. Abilities also play a huge part of it. If this hypothetical Big/Fire Pokemon had an Ability that reduces or nullifies a Type, you need to take that into account.

Ok, sure, there are people who are better than others at games (and other things) but my only problem with this is that when every developer start to do this, suddenly the new content and games begin to follow the rule of "until the most dumb of the room understands it", with has already ended with a decrease in the general quality of the gaming industry.

Well? Where?

>>26737225
At the end of the day, nobody plays Pokemon for difficulty, but for the journey. There will always be a part for games that are difficult, especially now I feel. Kids love playing shit and seeming tough, so when they see some youtuber for example playing Dark Souls and having a rough time, they wanna do that.

Also, there is a market for niche games like Animal Crossing to just play for some nice rest. Things change less often than they stay the same.

Are modern kids just retarded from playing nothing but mindless fps games?

>>26737110
Well, at least I'll learn that stat boosting moves actually DO something.
I used to ONLY use damaging moves on my first version (Blue). Didn't see why I would use a stat boostinf/lowering move when I actually could deal some damage.
Didn't even understand how the stats worked. Didn't care.
I think that, if I had grown up with this feature, I would learn to use those moves. I would actually SEE they do something.

And yes, it is just more convenient for me. As son as I started to play "competively" (hence, with my friends, with "real" teams, not just random mons I liked, not just damaging moves...), I took notes of stat boosts, and still do. Now, I won't anymore. Convenience.

Driving an automatic car isn't easier than driving a manual one. It's just more convenient.

Agreed on the journey part, but you can't possibly think that making the fucking Pokemon games easier than what they already are is good for the experience.
There's a limit for everything, and why some kids may be bad at videogames, they're not retarded as some posters are saying.

>>26734924
This is becoming kinda needed, though. This isn't Gen 4, where there were roughly 500 pokemon. We're nearing 1000 different mons to mentally keep track of now.

I'm completely not bothered by this.
Even if it shows off what is effective or not on something seen for the first time, it only removes trial and error or googling.
Granted, I do hope you have to have battled something once before it shows that, but it isn't the end of the world.

Your concept of "convenient" stands for "easier" too. And driving an automatic car is easier too, but if you need to do an acceleration, you can't with an automatic, so it's not more convenient.

>>26736230

epic!! ace burn bro!

Do people here not already know type matchups? Like, this might casualize the game, but it shouldn't actually affect how you experience the game unless you are in fact, a fucking casual. In which case, congratulations on finding someone to hold your hand.

>>26737295
What if someone uses growl and you're distracted, or you needed to suspend the game and needed to do something else for a while?

>>26737264
Well then you hit a Pokémon with that type of move and they explicitly tell you "it didn't work because [ability]." Now you know not to do it again when fighting another Pokémon of that species.

Is that so hard? It's not like there are many Pokémon with those abilities, and half the time they're hidden abilities that don't appear in-game. Pokémon is easy enough that wasting a single turn isn't the end of the world, you aren't going to white out over it, and even if you do they changed how money loss works so you only lose a few thousand instead of half your total money like in earlier games.

>>26737263
Nobody's talking about Showdown, we're talking about in-game. Showdown isn't even official.

>>26737534
its the exact same shit as showdown but nobody is calling showdown casual

They are two entirely different things. Are you shitposting?

Showdown is a battle simulator, where you're expected to have all this information on hand and Google it if you don't.

This is an in-game playthrough of a Pokémon game, a single player JRPG playthrough. You are not meant to use Google every time you find a new Pokémon, you're supposed to figure this shit out on your own. The Internet was in its infancy when Pokémon was new, most kids didn't have that shit. You're expected to figure out a Pokémon's type on your own, either by guessing correctly based on its looks, or going out and catching it so you can see it directly.

I honestly don't mind seeing stat changes, I don't think it negatively impacts the game because stat changes barely do anything in-game and most players choose to just use damaging moves. This is a huge casualization, though, and it completely removes the learning aspect of the game.

Like I said earlier in the thread, if they did it like FRLG and only had a type chart you could bring up mid-battle, but didn't tell you exactly how to beat the Pokémon in front of you, that would be just fine.

>>26737568
Because Showdown is a battle simulator where they bring you all the posible avaliable info for you to choose the best move. And we were talkign about easy games. And easy is ussually realted to casual.

How is this casualizing it?
This is already info everyone could get by just looking it up

It's literally just a quality of life change


>but part of the SKILL is knowing what typing every pokemon is!

top kek, you're pathetic OP

>>26737495
Because 85% of TF2 players are below the age of 16.

>>26737739
But you do have to face the Pokemon at least once and it technically doesn't tell you exactly what type it is.

>>26737739
It's legitimately and simultaneously humorous and frustrating to imagine someone sitting behind the screen legitimately believing what they've written in this post.

>>26737825
It's humorous and frustrating to think a person should play a single player RPG without constantly looking up a walkthrough?

>>26737795
That only confirms that modern kids suck at video games.

>>26737739
It eliminates rote memorization which is boring.

What the fuck is the issue?

>You still have to beat a mon first before it shows you

>"Why can't Metroid crawl?" is a troll post, dumbass.

Not him, I saw posted a kid complaining about some springs in Marble Zone and -of course- Spring Yard Zone of Sonic 1 and some sections of Chemical Plant in Sonic 2. When the kid was told that those were supposed to be obstacles, things that he should avoid the kid threw a tantrum saying that you were supposed to just hold right to win.

I love how nobody is talking about the big "A" sign that appears when you're next to an object.
Is that also a "life quality change", guys?
Great! Now I don't have to go through the difficult task of memorizing to press A to interact with objects: seriously, I'm so fucking tired of opening the menu whenever I try to pick up an item. And I won't have to worry to accidentally turn off my DS when I'm talking to an NPC! Thank you GF!
Games nowadays have too many fucking buttons, god darn it.

It's obviously casualizing kids by not forcing them to find outside help, which is making video games worse and worse by making kids stupid.

>>26732407
Where was I? I was at home, because I had only just turned 2 years old a week earlier, when Pokémon Red and Green were releases in Japan.

Pokémon has always been casual as fuck, get over it.

>>26737393
I never said "convenient" didn't mean "easier". It just isn't casualisation to do so.
I find it more difficult to drive an automatic. We've got the same car twice (exact same model), one is manual, the other automatic. I prefer the manual one, because I find it easier to drive.
But the automatic one is more convenient, for traffic jam for example. When I drive my manual car, I have to change the speeds. It's not difficult, it's just boring, and sometimes, I forget in witch speed I am. With an automatic, I don't have to worry about it anymore. It's more convenient.
