OK then leave nobody is going to miss you.

This is what gets me the most. At least respect the newer shit if you're going to be coming back.

>>27062292
>2000
But I've been playing since 1998
Guess I'm not a true fan because I stopped watching the anime when childhood ended?

>>27062292
I can appreciate people playing it, it's nice to see people enjoying pokemon like in 1999. What bothers me is that all these people are only playing it because it's a current fad. Even my brother who stopped playing in about 2000, and who uses Instagram and all that other shit, got the app, and then asked me if I got it, which I didn't. I mean, what the fuck. If you asked these people what their favorite region is, they probably wouldn't even be able to name one.

>>27062393
>it's ok to play a cashgrab just because it's the meme of the moment on fucking facebook

That's why gaming it's dying, you prick.

I assume you mean pay. And no, thats definitely not the case.

>>27062452
don't play it then. no one is forcing you.
besides the fucking game is free

>>27062427
Everyone stopped watching the anime. Most of vp doesn't anyway, that's why they've got a containment general.

I didn't abandon ship back in High School when everyone else abandoned it in gen 3 and the cool thing to do was shit on everyone who still played.

Why would I abandon ship now?

Have you seen Nintendo stock?

>tfw I had a feeling and I didn't buy any
>It literally went to the moon

Also, it won't last long, maybe a few weeks to a couple months (if that), and it'll be replaced with something else.

>>27062475
>Containment general
So does TCG, Injection, etc.

>>27062434
Exactly. The problems hare
>instead of being reignited by good games that leave a lasting impression, pokemania gets reignited by a crappy pay to win app, so it's almost sure that it will be over in a month top when the world will move on to the next meme
>everyone is a super pokemon fan now, but if you try to explain that there 24 fucking main line games and more 700 mons you're a loser geek anyway

That's not 2000 pokemania. That's just the world big new meme, it's going to leave no impact on pokemon popularity as a whole (rather when the craze ends the franchise could actually be weaker), but in the meanwhile Nintendo and partners think that we want casual cashgrab instead of real games. Pokemon GO popularity is literally the worst thing that could have ever happened to the franchise.

Let the normies have their fun, when the newest angry birds comes out, they'll abandon this app and revert back to their "Pokemon is running out of ideas" jargon, and in the meantime, more Pokemon will get added for the actual fans to catch.

This app is fun, I like having a reason to run to the store at 4:30 AM because of a Clefairy, I'm not gonna let normies ruin this for me too.

While it isn't relevant to the thread, he's anything but failed. And he's much better than the other alternative (Hillary).

Time will only tell if GO hype will last for a month or more. They'll probably release gen II mons soon and be cautious in releasing Hoenn mons as most dont like them.

>>27062703
He's likely a redditor.

>>27062643
Eh, at least the people who say it here actually feel that way. Most normies see some shitty "When I was a kid, Pokemon weren't based off of ____" on Facebook and use that as an argument against the 500+ Pokemon that were added since they last picked up a handheld that wasn't a smartphone. I believe people keep spouting that shit because they don't know anything about Pokemon, but keep seeing and hearing about it, so they throw out a useless opinion for the sole purpose of being apart of the conversation.

>>27062739
why is it so hard to accept that the designs really have gone down hill? happened with star wars. happens with most things as the years wear on.

>>27062292
See you in a week, retard.

>>27062739
Thing is /vp/ (and due to an extension, as we get a lot of /v/edditors here as well) are very contrarian about things.

Megas were fine, and synchros are fine. Does that mean every pokemon should get a mega? No, as some deserved an alternate evo instead. Does that mean that megas are a bad concept? No, they're fine if they're properly used, as long as other mons aren't left behind in the powercreep.

>>27062798
Not every design will be great, and this is true in previous gens as well. Gen VI had tons of great mons, both competitive and desgin wise. People tend to have a case of either nostalgia goggles (Gen I/II are the best!) or the opposite where they claim that people only care about Gen I even though they haven't played in years.

>play to win
you tried to shitpost but you were right unintentionally

>>27062798
Every gen has bad designs faggot
But fucking genwuners, normalfags and redditor keep focusing on that 1 ultra shitty mon to base their retarded argument

Yeah you're right anon, he surely better than an experienced politician that has already served multiple times. Because, you know, politic isn't about brain and expertise, is about who's got the bigger penis and shoves it on the table to show it to everyone.

YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO PLAY ANY GAME IN THIS SERIES!

>>27062965
You are joking right? Gen V is the gen with the most consistently good design after I and (maybe) II, Emboar and the minor legendaries are the only terrible designs.

>>27062703
>downtrend in contemporary cultural phenomena and living in a world of hypotheticals

Oh I, see you've never studied history or philosophy in your life anon. That's good. Don't be ashamed. You're probably american, so it's not your fault.

>>27062983
who said anything about focusing on hate? I just think the designs have gone hill. just because I don't jack off to every aspect of the new games and swallow them without discernment doesn't mean I'm trying to find things to shit on.

So let me set this straight anon, we went from soulless blobs, generic kaijuu and whatnot to actually taught design with a personality and that's going downhill how, precisely?

>>27063156
>pikachu knockoffs
There's one, like every other gen (III has 2 but that's part of the gimmick)
>variations of other existing pokemon
That's the central point of gen V, to take already existing concepts, mostly from gen I, and take them on in a different way to give them a new twist. The resulting pokedex is very varied and not direct knockoff, because while you can see obvious similar couples all of them have different stats, types and movepools and are based on a different subspecies of the same animal
>ice cream cones

They are decent designs by all means. Not fantastic but mons based on inanimate things aren't new.

Pokemon design in gen 7 is already better than anything they gave us in X/Y and they seem to be shifting away from adding retarded megas to everything, I have hope.

I just wish they'd leave megas as a gen 6 mechanic. They flat out broke the game, M-Gengar and M-Kang are just retarded. Blaziken was already stupid without an even better mega. What were they thinking?

I stopped playing at emerald and loosely followed pokemon until X&Y came out and became more serious about it. Pokemon Go has only solidified my returning interest in the franchise.

God bless Nintendo

>>27064646
>You will never understand art.
kek. I make a living as an artist kiddo, try again.

I actually don't care
I'm still excited about sun and moon
And have been here forever

The only thing that made me sad is when I have ran into people and asked if they were excited about the new games and they say they stopped playing since first 1st/2nd gen
Or ss/hg

It's disappointing

>>27062798
Generation 1 had bad designs as well, the flipside of it is the same retards think the first gen is fucking perfect when it's literally the least playable generation of games, every game has been better than RBY.

Genwunners are just massive nostalgiafags with no lasting connection to the series, this is /why/ they think Gen 1 is so good, it's a fucking self-contained echochamber in their own heads.
