I'm so fucking depressed after midnight release guys. Looking

I know that fucking feel. I'm scared too. I just wanted to play a video game, not re-evaluate my entire lifestyle.

my nigga that's why i stay far away from anything anime or game related. I dont tell people my interests for shit because god help me if they started lumping me together with those fucks that sit in the cafeteria table full of weebs and other cringe shit

Omg.....lmao

>>30003672
Are you genuinely happier than those weebs though?

Just remember you're not as bad as them.

also what is up with these insecure normals in this board today?
is this some /vp/ tradition?

yes this is exactly the majority of /vp/

you're on a rip off of an outdated japanese message board system ignored by everyone but social outcasts and racists.

I'd bet that this only happened because of how late it is/was. I doubt you'd see that kind of thing in broad daylight.

Pokémon is a super casual game sadly.

There will be a gross fan, but the majority are "normal" people.

>>30003621
This is why I avoid midnight releases in general. I am happy getting my game in about 12 or so hours delivered to my apartment. Also anon, not all people who like Pokemon are that bad.

>>30003790
well that just made me feel better

I truied to get my copy at Walmart for the midnight release. Black guy behind back register gave me a time since video game isle was blocked off for floor buffering.

I ended up not being able to get it

That's just as hilarious as it is depressing.

That's why I just got the game digitally. I'd be on the front lines (legally) playing it first, and I won't have to drive out to my local gamestop and run into these lards.

I feel for you, OP. I was never strong enough to physically go like you.

>>30003621
Just because you like the same things doesn't make you like him.
Nearly every Pokemon fan I've met irl ever has been fucking weird.
Then on the flipside, I (and I assume you) am a fairly normal, well-adjusted, average-looking guy without any sort of social disorders or over-the-top awkwardness.

I saw one dude with just the roots of his teeth, and another was flashing gang signs trying to rap about loving pokemon.

OP here, Neglected to mention that in the line people were yelling "PRAISE HELIX" and lifting their arms to the sky. grown men.

I am more physically attractive and I actually look normal. There look like stereotypical nerds who you can tell they only have video games as a hobby by just looking at them and what clothes they wear. All the girls were over 200lbs, too.

>>30003621
It's sad OP hasn't seen the handsome me. But you should know, only those kinds have no shame in showing they would come out to buy Pokemon games. Us, pretty boys, should be a bit more reserved about it. But it's sad you didn't see anyone good-looking at your place. Here, we have plenty. Maybe it's just you, Americunts.

>>30003784

>>30003809

are you literally retarded?

it makes absolutely no sense in any single way that a normal person with a job wouldnt

1. pirate the game
2. know what the fuck a .cia is
3. be on any site that would have the .cia

They'd fucking buy it. Every word of this post is a fuckin' oxymoron. Kill yourself.

Don't get me wrong, i'm all for celebrating your fandom, as it happens on most cons, too, but this just made me feel so out of place.

I can fucking imagine how you feel OP.

I just don't understand. I mean I get it's all jokes and memes and shit, but are the vast majority of people on /vp/ or Pokemon fans in general (20+ age) are overweight/lanky, social awkward, greasy virgins?

I just don't get it. I mean I rarely step back and think about it because I just naturally assume everyone else is normal like me.

I'm pretty fit, had gfs, currently have 3 fwb in university, am social (not overly extrovert like some fratfag), 22 years old, and I don't go around talking about me loving pokemon, because it's just a side hobby that really doesn't run my life.

But fuck.

It just blows my mind that maybe I'm in the small, small minority.

It makes me wonder if I should drop this franchise because of the stigma/association with pokemon fans/players.

>>30003621

>>30004224
>I'm normal, I swear!

>>30004224
Don't. Even if the fandom was to "rule" your life, whatever people think about the "bad cases" this thread is describing doesn't need need to phaze you.

It's just another random topic for /vp/ to talk about. It's barely even related to Pokemon and more about midnight releases. Go to whatever AAA game with a huge fandom, go to a midnight release and it'd be much the same. In the end, i don't care who's a normie and who isn't, as long as they have some basic decency if i interact with them. Throwing away something i love because people might associate it with something bad (that isn't even neccessarily true) is just not gonna happen. Only the very worst normies do that.

>>30004328
I don't have EVERYTHING going for me, everyone has some flaws. But even IF i'm doing pretty good as a 22 year old dude in terms of social life, sex, etc., am I really in the 1% here in /vp/? Cause that's a sad thought.

And I've watched R&M from episode 1, but I really don't care if there are those who are hopping on the wagon late.

Yeah man I definitely agree, and I said "it makes me wonder if I should drop that" as just a kind of wake up call, not something I'd just drop like that (I grew up with pokemon after all).

And to be fair, I've never been at a midnight release--I'm not much of a gamer by definition. But I played almost all pokemon games.

Here's a question:

Do you guys think that with Pokemon GO bringing back the whole "Pokemania" of the late 90s to the old fans/casuals/random people, that now the social stigma/association with "people playing pokemon games" is gone?

Do you think that it's now more acceptable to be going to buy core Pokemon games after GO?

Did you notice a change in the way people react to pokemon players/fans?

Or has nothing changed and Go was just a fad that came and died?

I'll give you /soc/ but look at /fit/ for a second.

Seeing overweight or skinny pokemon fans in real life, seeing how awkward they are in comparison to normal people around them, always reminds me that I should eventually stop playing these games and more especially STOP coming to this board.

Every time I see one of the virgin, creepy, loner pokemon fans in real life I am 1 step closer to just calling it quits so I don't end up like that one day.

Seeing the average /vp/tard in real life really puts your life into perspective.

There's no way it helped anything, but at the same time playing Pokemon was never a bad thing like people made it out to be

The Go fad was just people looking for a reason to drive around and dick off. Most of those players will never touch a DS in their life.

>>30004551
Honestly, my experience and sifting through the bullshit and bailing. There used to be Keks to be had in story form, but aside from that it's a bunch of man children with shattered egos.

>>30003621
The midnight release was a mixed bag for me.It ranged from fit attractive people to those skinnyfat/fat ugly people who possibly had mental handicaps.

>>30004224
There is no stigma. It's one of the most mainstream series around. It's just that the "normal" players don't bother going to midnight release when they can just pick it up tomorrow or over the weekend. You just saw the extremists out in force for midnight launches. The extremists of any faction make the rest look bad, just look at religious terrorists or anyone leaning far left or right politically.

>Hey guys look at me! I'm just another average person who feels proud about being a wageslave and having much sex in failed relationships, what does this have to do with /vp/ a Pokémon board? Nothing, but If I post it here, I will have a confirmation bias that my life is good and special somehow.

4chan used to be better than this, It's so sad that the fucking social media cancer has reached every corner of the Internet, faggots posting about how special they are.

>>30004498
>Now the association with people playing Pokemon Games is gone?
Kind of. It's more acceptable now than it was back then, because a lot of people who got hooked into the late 90's craze are now adults. As such, kids see their parents play Pokemon, and even some of the teen kids who were like "haha who plays Pokemon games at your age" in the 90s, nowadays chances are that group of trying-too-hard-to-be-mature teens are into Pokemon themselves or know many older people are. TL;DR it's less of a kid's thing now. Not completely gone but it's better.

>It's now more acceptable to be buying core PKMN after Go?
A lot. Go refueled the hype, after all. It is part of the reason why Sun and Moon are the most preordered Pokemon games ever.

>Did you notice a change in the way people react to pokemon fans?
A little bit for the better. It doesn't earn you as many weird looks if you say you're a Pokemon fan and you're above 18 simply because back in the 90's, it was new, and it was aimed at kids, so people assumed it a kids thing, but now that's different with many more older people liking it. Of course it's still aimed at kids, but at least the games/Gamefreak are fully aware their audience is not just that.

>is GO just a fad that came and died?
Weird thing is, it is. It came, refueled the craze, then died back down. It sort of passed its torch on to Sun and Moon, and we can only hope they are good enough for normies to keep the craze up.

I never really thought about this, though. I've never gone to any midnight release for anything and have never had a conversation with anyone face to face about pokemon.

I'm 20.
I'm fit. I'm not crazy with macros and all that other stuff like some of those I keep close- and the extra work and dedication they put into it really shows- but i'm fine with just being stronger.
I'm pretty bad socially though. I'm not THE WORST since i'm not actively disliked, but boderline psychopathy is an odd thing. I usually just put on a face for work interactions or pick a template from someone from past interactions and that works extremely well though it can be exhausting. No real girlfriend and I go out to places by myself because I just don't have the desire to be around anyone any further then what I need them for or what suspected benefits they could provide.
Really made me think...

I THINK that midnight releases would have a higher concentration of more eccentric individuals because that's the type of people that would be more inclined to sit outside of a store for something like a video game for a few hours/at a time like midnight. These are most likely the "biggest" fanatics of whatever the midnight release. Also, being a midnight release, most of these people are going to be adults which just makes it seem that much worse. Consider that here, the game released on a school night. No CHILD would be reasonably able to go for a midnight release.

This is the first game I've pre ordered in a long time, and I'm not letting overly zealous fans have me feel bad about it. I dont own any poke merch or anything like that except the pika plush my ex got me from dave and busters. Gonna go and wear my extra baggy northface and some baggy jeans.

That's because you need more rest days. Your body doesn't build muscles while lifting, it builds muscles while repairing the damage you did while lifting. Cut yourself down to a 3 to 4 day a week workout and sit on your ass the rest of the week. Also make sure you're getting enough calories, if you're eating like a little girl your body doesn't have anything to use when building muscle.

Man it's so sad to know that I share a board with people like OP and anons who believe that talking about going to the gym and taking supplements while liking Pokémon makes them "outstanding" members of the community. I like to thing these people are teenagers and early twenties whom feel the need to justify their hobbies and their personalities.

Am I the only one who lives in an area that's not brimming with disgusting shitlords? There were about 30-40 people at the midnight release I went to and pretty much just one of them was an unwashed weirdo, everyone else was normal and didn't smell like fermented armpit.

Ooh, good Yo-Kai Watch picture, me likey.

You think that's shitty, try seeing your ex-roommate/friend who pretty much doesn't ever want to associate with you walk by you awkwardly and try to not make eye contact because of you both know the last time you went to a Pokemon midnight launch, you were friends. Now you're just two individuals who have simular interest but no desire to try and re-establish a friendship.

tl;dr: feels bad man.

If you're worried about potential body odor, don't use deoderant. It doesn't fix odor, it just masks it poorly and makes the problem worse in the end.

Get a small spray bottle and fill it with witch hazel, then mix in about a half teaspoon of fresh squeezed lemon juice. Shake that shit up.
Give each armpit a spray of that stuff after every shower (Give it a minute or two to dry before putting a shirt on) and it will reset the PH balance in your pits, killing off all bacteria and leaving you with a nice neutral smell. Spritz a tiny bit of your favorite cologne on your neck for "Flavor" and no woman will ever be repulsed by your scent again. Unless you eat curry or something. Science can't help you there.

Note that it may take two or three days before it "Resets" everything and your BO goes away.
For women, you can also add a little oil from your favorite flower to the mixture to give yourself a nice, natural, feminine scent.

Smelling good is important.

>>30004051
Plus, as a normie myself, I like supporting GF. I want these games to continue after all.

My closest friends and I are willing the release since the games announced. All around 23 y/o, socially healthy and fit/handsome. Commented every trailer, made a thousand theories and planned teams together. Its very possible that we won't get the physical game all together as a squad. Coordination impossible cause of college and jobs and it makes me really really sad.

When XY came i bought alone with my ex and she didnt even like the game. The squad didnt have a 3ds at that moment. Its special for me cause is the first time ever we get a pokemon game at the same time.

Just sharing this cause i see this board so hating and depressive and wanted to remember that pokemon is a social game that gave us so much happiness.

Btw, we are eurofags.

Considering how much fun you can have playing through with friends and battling and trading along the way, yeah, pokemon has a large social element to it for a JRPG.

>>30003672
So much this except I have a few friends who watches anime and at the same time,having a life so I'm not that kind of embarrassed to be open about my side hobbies.It's ok to like weeb shit as long as you don't make an ass of yourself by being obsessed to it.

>>30007201
I have never once complained about the difficulty of a children's game.

>>30007089
I hate you because I'm jealous and I have no friends so I just play the game on my own. So I have to settle for using shitty boards like /vp/ to socialise about it, even though I rarely post anyway because most people here are either teeny memelords or edgesters so it's hard to find people who aren't painfully obnoxious. Holy shit I would kill for a small group of friends who were into the game like me (which is not quite casua and not quite obsessed loser but somewhere in between).

>muh "it's what's inside that matters"

Fucking deluded weeb autist.
Nobody wants to see what's inside, that's why we have social conventions.
Also newsflash sperglord: the only thing that ever matters to people is actions and how they relate to them, choosing a look/appearance is an action in itself and society should and will judge you for it.

Grow the fuck up or crawl back to your mom's cavernous hole.

And I'm not talking about the basement you've lived in so far.

>>30003621
As long as you're happy with how you are doing with your life you have nothing to be concerned of.
If anything, just treat Pokemon as a hobby like any other -something to spend your free time on- not like a life style.

Everybody are going too fast in their lives to be concerned about others.
What worries me more is how most posters ITT are a bunch of insecure fucks.

Mmmmh 'kay

Make friends who happen to also like Pokemon, not Pokephiles you meet that you later befriend.

I legit thought people were normal like me on games I enjoyed until I got a new job and met a co-worker who played comp Smash. In this huge universe I found a dude who wears the same clothes two days at a time, has a stutter, legit autistic, talks about hentai and R34 in regular conversation. Every stereotype about autistic melee players manifested and formed this man.

I quickly learned that these people exist and not some dumb mean joke on the Internet directed at nerds.

Fortunately, we only work two days out of the week together and he says he's going to quit soon to work a part time job so he can start school in the Winter.

>>30007369
If dying would kill all normalfag I would gladly make that sacrifice.

>>30003621

If they fall under all of the above not only are they below any other human but they should probably be euthanized.

Hory shit

Went with some of my bros, waited in line with a bunch of other regular people. Didn't see anything weird or cringe worthy. Picked up our copies and went for Taco Bell. Been doing midnight releases for who knows how long. And we're all normal people with daytime jobs. We just decide to lose a little bit of sleep. You're okay OP. It's okay to continue this hobby and play Pokémon. There are crazy people in every fandom, doesn't mean it's a reflection of Yourself. Now just go play your game in peace.

Oh well, while we're sharing shit about Pokemon "events", I'm gonna share mine as well.

>me in Japan
>queueing for the opening of the first Pokemon Center in Kyoto
>spend some hours surfing on the internet, listening to music or even chatting with a random adult and her daughter, having a laugh or two
>throughout the whole queue, there was this 開発障害 fucker who kept laughing out loud and talking loudly to random people

I was feeling both sorry for the people he bothered and disgusted that such an individual can be left going alone to an event. Mentally-crippled people are disgusting.

>>30008987
I'm a black guy from New York. I think i get a pass on whatever your talking about. I wear baggy pants when shopping, because if you you dress like you have cash when shopping for anything, (especially clothes) the staff hounds you with help. If you shop at places you can bargain with while looking broke, they are more likely to cut a deal just so they can get your money.

>>30003621

I went to the midnight launch... Obesity really is an epidemic and apparently it's hard to shower when you're that fucking huge. It smelled like shit dusted, cheetos greased body odor. I was probably the only grill there and several fat bastard kept flirting with me and checking out my ass and tits. It was awful.

>>30011567

How did I do?

This is the first midnight release I went too.

The dude in front of me was morbidly obese, over 300 pounds and smelled like rotten eggs.

The guy in front of him had so much acne on his back I was fucking gagging.

There were a group of 14 year old kids who just kept fucking talking like a retarded 4chinner. SHIT WAS SO CASH SENPAI THATS MY JAM SENPAI. They also spoiled the endings of about 5 different games while they were going through line and they wouldn't shut the fuck up about Five Nights at Freddies.

At least I had one of those retarded cards that let me in first.

Thankfully, I don't work in any store that deals with midnight releases. But I do work closing shift as a cashier, and i can assure you that monsters do roam the night. I once had a customer that smelled like swamp, old moldy gym clothes, and looked like a mix of a trashy version of Batman's Penguin, and a rat. The guy scrapped me with is nail, which was around 3 inches long, give or take, all the while I had to keep my composure and hold my breath... So yeah, being a cashier sucks sometimes. There should be world wide, mandatory customer service, maybe that way people will learn to be civilized.

>Go to Walmart at midnight.

I've never seen a more pathetic thread on 4chan. It's hard to believe how insecure you all are, do you honestly think any emotionally stable normal person worries about these kinds of things?

Yea what is it with hygiene and gamers? A caveman handed me my copy and i almost passed out from the smell.

Good times

>>30012126
Sometime about working with electronics for a long period of times builds up a weird sweat. It's not the same kind as working out or getting hot. I've never played my DS long enough to get it, but sometimes when I'm doing paper work late at night I'll have it happen. Of course, I'm incredibly vain so I have to shower and change clothes even though I'm just going to sleep afterwards. I refuse to stink even in my sleep. Maybe they do it so often they're used to it?
