I've never seen such a cringe worth, self loathing, deluded and hot-topic tier of individuals as I have on this board since Pokemon Go came out.

All of you seem to just despise the idea that the thing that you love, and feel uncomfortable about loving, is now popular again, but in a simpler and more socially acceptable manner.

I have never hidden, or felt or acted embarrassed about being an adult who still likes Pokemon. I'm no bro or bar hopper, but I am a normal functioning adult with plenty of diverse friends and a beautiful girlfriend, no one gives a shit if you aren't a pushover beta.

This entire board is overrun with toxic shitty posts about "normies" and how awful Go is.

Yeah, it's not a normal Pokemon game, or even really a game with much depth. But it's really neat! It's fun and it gets to walking outside and more importantly it gets my friends, many of which, most of which do not play or have never played Pokemon, to get into it!

Almost every person I know is playing this game, and I love it. I know they don't know anything past gen one. I know they will stop playing after the hype dies down. I know they aren't "real" fans like you. But I DON'T CARE. It's awesome sharing my hobby with them even if it's in a different way.

I know that the AR feature isn't really catching a monster in the wild, but it fucking RULES getting as close as it does. This is closer to anything than we've gotten to reliving the glory days of talking about Mew under the truck and trading via link cable and dealing with Missingno.

Why don't you just lighten up, get off the computer and GO OUTSIDE! It's fun!

Post it in the general thread you fucking faggot, you'd know to do that if you didn't come to /vp/ just to shitpost about GO. That's the problem, you and every other GO retard thinks they need to make a new "le valor ftw!" thread every five fucking minutes.

This is so sad. People are so lazy and have such a short attention span that they can't be bothered read all of two or three paragraphs. HOWEVER, they can still be smarmy and toxic enough to say something shitty about which they have no idea.

What the fuck are you talking about? Pokemon's popularity has never waned. Have you not seen the sale figures for Gen 6?

What we hate is how these normies have come back for the gen wun mentality of 'muh 90's kid cartoon show' nostalgia without any actual care for the franchise outside of nostalgia fad.

Literally this.

I saw people saying crap like "I was never into this pogeyman sheit I liked dragon ball more but I'm playing its fun" and it triggers me. And then there's the fakers and posers who literally only watched the anime when they where 9 and don't know anything past pikachu, charmander and bulbasaur and pretend they love pokemon.

These people can fuck right off.

I really think that GO is going to help GF realize that 9 year old Jap kids with a 5 second attention span aren't the only customers of their games.

Last night, I went to a Pokemon Symphonic Evolutions concert, (loved it by the way), and the Creative Director of GF (I think it was him,) was there. He said that this was the first performance since GO came out. He said that Masuda wanted to see just how many people were playing, and took a picture of everyone holding up their phones with the game loaded.

I'm not exaggerating, the entire venue held up their phones. It was amazing.

My point is that Masuda (just from this event) will see how teenagers and young adults are a HUGE part of Pokeyman's audience. Maybe he'll be convinced and change his approach to the mind-numbingly easy games, maybe he won't. But I still think the knowledge that the Smartphone Generation aren't their only customers will move them towards making less casualties games.
>>
>>27104480
Here's a thought, STICKY THE FUCKING GENERAL! If you so desperately want them to go into it make it easier for them to find it instead of making them scour half way down the catalog just to even see it. Let the mods know it needs to be stickied and surely they would get on it.

WHY do you care? You don't own a stake in Pokemon. You just play the games. Stop caring about that and ENJOY the fucking game. It is fun, despite some rare people acting in a way that triggers your autism.

How about you fucking faggots keep all your shit in ONE FUCKING THREAD instead of us dealing with a million pokemon go threads?

Popularity isn't always good you know. Extreme example here, but what if a children's show started gaining the attention of pedophiles and the devs started feeling pressured to put the children of said show in sexually compromising positions to appeal to them?


Pokémon GO is going to give the mainline games even more Genwun pandering than what was in XY, which is a bad thing.

That, and people are just pissed because GOtards are still making 50+ threads on the subject.

Because chances are once Gamefreak realizes that the GO formula prints money, there will be no need to try with the mainline series, or even worse, will forgo the mainline series entirely and focus only on mobile games like GO.

Not to mention the gen 1 pandering.
>>
>>27104748

I've heard far worse. People who think Pokemon is an American cartoon show and the games were spinoffs of the show. People who think that the original Dragon Ball is a baby version spin off of DBZ. Unfortunately, to the normies, when they think of anime they think of Sailor Moon, Pokemon, and Dragonball Z..

There's a huge difference from being a fan of generation 1 and being a Gen Wunner. Most people who jumped on the Pokemon bandwagon when we were kids (or those that grew up with first gen) didn't play the games, they just stuck with the show, toys, or collected shiny cards for cred (yet fuck all never played the actual games) and then instantly ditched it by the time Gen 2 was coming out. When I got into 6th grade in 2000 the 'fad' instantly dropped and playing the games was uncool. Now the same faggots are coming back and saying 'LOL IM A FAN OF THE SERIES STOP THINKING YOURE SO SUPERIOR TO US" like OP to the people who were legitimate fans of the games.

>>27104980
Died in 2000? I distinctly remember G/S being released late in 2000. I know that the anime being a drag was true from it's very beginning, but I didn't know people said fuck it right then.

>>27104795

Jesus christ you're triggered as fuck. Why do you care what you think? It's obnoxious since it's like the same type of people who say "LOL IM A NERDY GIRL/GUY AND HOW DARE YOU SAY HOW I'M NOT A NERD I KNOW THAT SUPERMAN IS WEAK AGAINST KRYPTONITE, LOVE HARRY POTTER, AND THAT MEWTWO IS THE STRONGEST POKEMON" when no actual nerd has ever identified as a nerd but rather they just did shit they considered an enjoyable hobby. The term nerd has always been a negative term by outside parties against people with particular hobbies. And this is what Gen Wunners are like, obnoxious shits who are posing due to nostalgia is hip.

Gamefreak had nothing to do with Pokemon Go, The Pokemon Company did. Though I've always been concerned about how split up the shares of Pokemon has been.

Has anyone ever had that fear factor of The Pokemon Company ditching Gamefreak?
>>
>>27105036

Nobody is. I hear it, but all I do is never give a reaction. I have friends who are like that, I try to live the normie life when I can because being a shutin sucks sometimes, but deep inside me is that inner hatred for the normies.

>>27105043

That was from my perspective, I saw the popularity just drop when Gen 2 came out. Perhaps it was because I got into Middle School within that year thus that transition for many was trying to be more into teenage shit or w/e like sex and MTV.
>>
>>27104980
You're right. It pisses me off. I hope this fad dies out soon. Like, admit you're just playing the game because it's fun instead of acting like "I ALWAYS LOVED POKEMON XDD LUV CHARIZARD"

It's not easy to talk about pokemon when the depth of conversation goes to them not knowing half the fucking names of the 10 different pokemon that are available in the area and they can't figure out how to pronounce a fucking é to save their goddamn life. Every time I've even made an attempt to talk to one of my coworkers or anyone playing Go about Pokemon, the most complex thing they can say is how much they love the "original 151" and how there's "too many pokiemon now" and I'm fucking done trying. I'm not gonna talk to a sports fan about baseball because I don't even know how many innings there are or whatever the fuck.

Yo, I've been playing Pokemon Go the entire time, and it's pretty fun. It's a cool concept to go out with my friends and explore the local area.

BUT there are too many fucking Go threads on this board. Pokemon has a lot of content throughout its franchise (the main game stories, the Pokemon themselves, breeding, battling, the anime, Mystery Dungeon, maingame gameplay mechanics, Gen VII hype, drawing and fanart, music, etc) and it's ridiculous that 50% of the board is being taken up by a topic that really doesn't have that much depth or content. There just isn't that much to talk about with the game, and taking to an anonymous Nepalese jewelry site defeats the very purpose of an app that's supposed to make you go outside and socialize.

Try bringing up anything post Gen 1 or EV training and likely you'll get confused faces. Most topics about Pokemon will dwindle down to first few seasons of the original anime and how one guys favorite is Blasters.

3 step pokemon are just basically ignored by me. it's more like 3-50 steps that they are showing you but the max they display is 3 so its a total shitshow on whether or not you'll ever see progress on them

or the alternative is that they are despawned from you but still show up as 3 steps (disconnected from server, restarting the app clears the list for you so you can see real shit again)
>>
/vp/ was not really that great before pokemon Go and now with pokemon Go its even worse. This is such an accomplishment considering /vp/ has been quickly dropping in quality ever since the announcement of X and Y.

Furthermore the people who are coming to /vp/ are mainly normalshits from r9k, b and v.
Overall I can't wait until you faggots get bored of Pokemon Go and leave back to your respective boards.
