What would it take to convince you to buy SM and watch the SM anime without being cynical?
>>28550336
By not coming to this hell hole/ not listening to the autistic man children
>>28550336
Nothing because SM looks great and I haven't been a fan of the anime since Johto ended, so the change is just incentive to check it out at this point, whether it's good or not is something I'll find out then.
Nothing. In order to be cynical, you need expectations.
I'm going to buy Sun and I'll even watch the anime.
The only thing that would ever stop me from playing Pokemon games is if they implemented some p2w feature or made shit like amiibos mandatory.
>buy SM
Nothing, I'm already on the hype train and believe these will be the best games of the franchise
>SM anime
It going full-Digimon Tamers at some point. Don't even care if it's shit, the fact that it would be so radically different and it would propose unique themes in the anime is enough.
>>28550336
Do I have to do both? The game looks amazing, the anime looks as bad as usual.
>buy the game
I will
>watch the anime
Reduce episodes to 24 a season
>>28550419
No. Thats the best decision you could make.
>>28550336
Battle Frontier-style post game facility, fun gimmicks for old and new underpowered Pokémon that can have it fairly competitively viable, have old traveling companions/ fun recurring characters make guest appearances in episodes

Dubs of truth.

If Serena stayed with Ash, I would watch the SM anime.
I'm already buying Moon, so I don't need convinced in that department.
>>28550669
What did you like about serena so much?
>>28550766
not the anon you're replying to but she's the only poke-girl with a confirmed crush on ash and also there's something to be said for having him get with whoever his current companion is rather than finding some excuse to bring back Misty/May/Dawn
>>28550336
Change the artstyle and I might give it a try.
>>28550336
Nothing because both the games and anime look excellent
People are already going to buy sun and Moon
I don't mind the anime doing something different for once
>>28550975
Eh maybe

>buy SM
Nothing because I'm already convinced
>watch the SM anime
Nothing because I never watched the anime past the first two or three episodes of Hoenn and I don't intend to start now.I find the non-game Pokemon cries annoying, I don't particularly like anime and I hate slice of life. It would have to be a masterpiece to convince me to watch it, and let's face it, Pokemon isn't even good compared to most other anime.
Me? I'll buy S/M no problem. The anime? Depends on if they're actually doing something interesting. If not, then I disappear for 3 years or more, not like I haven't done it before.
This board? Nothing. They will always be cynical about everything.
