>new really makes you think

Niantic proved once again that they're a bad company.

Is it only those 2 or something?

>>30729555
:^)

Well they finally realized you can't run on pure nostalgia forever.

>>30729352
So they're starting with the ones "leaked" by movies back then?

Where the fuck's my Donphan then you faggots??

>>30729555
The official press release mentions other Pokémon, but no one knows which ones yet.

>>30729649
To be fair no one even remembers Donphan that much. Even as a kid with only gen 3 games I didn't even think about it being new when I watched the first movie.

>>30729352
OMG THOSE ARE SO CUTE!!!!
I hope they keep making new pokemon in the future.

>>30729371

best theme, best gen

They are new to the normies who only know Gen 1.

>>30729352
So every gym will be Ttar now?
Sounds exciting.

Who the fuck still plays this game?

>>30729776

a fuckton of children/normies

>>30729737
A lot of Gen wunners probably know Togepi because of Misty.

>>30729352
Also Wooper, Marril, Snubbull, Skarmory, anything that evo/prevod in gen2. And Houndour. All in all about 20 out of 100. They'll slowly trickle the rest later to keep intetest.

>>30729555
Guessing it's just the babymons

>>30729943
Is Houndour technically a Kanto pokémon?

>>30730068

how is Houdour a Kanto pokemon?

>>30729352
if there is no larvitar yet, i do not give a fuck

>>30729943
They should have started doing this ages ago, back when the game's popularity was still at its peak. Most people have lost interest now.

>>30730091
In its debut game, it spawned in Kanto but not in Johto.

>>30730146
really getting my neurons pumping

>>30729352
I stopped playing ages ago because Niantic cut down on spoofing while still not actually fixing the counterintuitive spawning bias.

Living innawoods made the game thoroughly unenjoyable; I could come across a greater variety of wild mushrooms than wild pokemon.

>5 months later
>3 months after anyone gives a shit
>Not even all of gen 2, just a small handful (probably just the babies+togepi)
>Can't even catch them, have to hatch them
B R A V O

>>30730146

well, damn ok I can see why it would be confusing

fucking gamefreak

>>30729352
im not in until gible, gabite and garchomp are released.

also niantic wouldn't release pokemon go in my country anyway.

You gotta EAAAASE the genwunners into the existence of new Pokemon beyond 151, /b/ros.

>>30730196
Where the fuck do you live, anon?

>>30729352
where are the facebook/twitter cringe posts about genwunners complaining?

>>30729697
If you weren't there from gen 1 how could you distinguish which Pokémon were newly revealed in that movie? Anyone who was actually there from the beginning remembers that seeing Donphan, Snubull and Marrill for the first time was quite jarring. Bam, three new Pokémon with no explanation whatsoever.

>>30730427
I knew about them months ahead because serebii covered the release in japan

>>30730324
turkey

niantic is racist.

>>30730427
I mistook it for a Rhydon

>>30729737
>>30729818
Gen 2 is pretty normie as well. Sold about 2/3rds of what the gen 1 games did, which is still a lot. There was also a steady trickle of gen 2 Pokémon revealed at the height of Pokémania. That's why most people lump in gen 2 as part of the franchise's mania phase. I saw all four of the first movies that got theatrical releases and the theatre was just about as packed for Pokémon 2000 as it was for The First Movie, considerably less packed for Pokémon 3, and virtually empty of Pokémon 4ever, if that's any indication of trends among normies. I'd say the craze died out in 2001 and most normies know at least a couple of gen 2 Pokémon.

The babies, Lugia, Entei, and the starters have considerable normie appeal. Some of the obscure ones that were harder to get less so. I don't think a lot of normies would know about Smeargle, Sneasel, Houndoom, Misdreavous, or Politoed.

>>30730471
Sorry I wasn't following Serebii when I was 5 and didn't have internet access at home.

>>30730671
>Gen 2 is pretty normie as well.
Not really. Most people dropped pokemon mid gen 2 which is why a lot of the mon end up forgotten aside from the ones like Togepi, Marril and Donphan who made appearances in the anime long before their games. And why the ratings and sales dropped by the time of crystal.

>>30730471
I knew several from sites like Pojo and from the dealer's I knew who imported Japanese cards.

>>30730809
You pretty much agreed with the guy you were 'not really'ing

>>30729352
I NEED, need, need a Cleffa and Igglybuff with actual Fairy type moves for this!!!

>>30729703
7/10 if troll

>>30730134
Thats exatly why though, to get people back on board. Thats what mario kart and animal crossing did, updates just when people started to forget.

when are we going to be able to catch legendary pokemon?

>>30729697

You can fake the GPS to trick the game into thinking you're walking while your mommy is cleaning your poopoo bucket.

>>30730200
The Halloween event would have been a perfect time for Pumpkaboo to show up

I'm sure the genwunners wouldn't be too freaked about by a single 2 stage Pokemon from gen 6 but instead they made common mons even more common

Do people seriously still play the mobile game?

Uh, hello? Sun and Moon is out? You don't have to waste time on normie shit any more.

The emulator is playable for 5 minutes until it starts running like dogshit and needs a restart.

Great time

>>30732090
2DS is pretty much identical to the 3DS, only difference is no 3D feature (I always have 3D turned off and so do a lot of people) and it can't fold.

>>30732081
not him but supposedly it will work with ORAS at least

>>30729352
Such a shitty fake leak.

Memes aside, GO seriously didn't get Johto mons already? I figured they had already released that shit back in the late Summer. I wonder if anyone will go back to this shitty game

>>30732090
yeah it's okay, small screen is annoying but you'll get used to it

3d is dog shit anyway

>>30732138
I've tried it with every Pokemon, Sun and Moon runs the worst, ORAS runs about the same as X/Y

I wouldn't call any of them playable right now. Citra still needs a lot of work.

>>30732140
They spent the last week hyping the shit out of an update with "new pokemon" including a partnership with Starbucks, data mining revealed entries for ~100 new pokemon, genders, shinies and all kinds of good shit.

Instead they gave us 10 baby shitmons you can only get out of eggs in the middle of winter when nobody wants to walk

>>30732119

The folding is my problem with it, I ain't gonna try shoving that big square in my pocket

Otherwise I would've gone with 2DS, tho

>>30732213
They're only adding babies for now? Holy shit that's actually hilarious

>>30732299
Yeah, and you can't transfer any duplicates with shit stats to the professor without buying a Pokebortion from the shop.

Same. It's not even really all that devastating. I used to think Niantic was just playing 9-dimensional chess on a level beyond comprehension and it was all part of some greater plan behind the scenes, but I'm just really convinced their management is absolutely terrible at marketing and game development in general.

I'm so used to games being disappointing pieces of shit now that I don't even give a fuck anymore, it's still an excuse to drive around in circles and whore streetpass tags on my DS or whatever while I desperately try to fill the last 2 dex entries I don't have yet.

Kill me.

>>30732331
Wait, what?

is it even possible to complete the kanto pokedex without the legendaries?

>>30732976
Gotta catch 'em ALL

>>30730427
Every kid in America knew about them long before that movie came out. Every Pokemon website and magazine had pictures of them. Hell, I think Snubull and Marril were on the poster.

>>30731396
Nice bro.

This shit still pisses me off - i got excited for new Pokemon just for Niantic to continuously drop the ball. Like how does it make sense to only bring baby mon and then lock them to eggs? Who still walks with this game open during this time of year?

7 baby mons plus santa pikachu.

You can also evolve Santa Pikachu and Raichu keeps the hat. Neat.

>>30729352
:thinking:

>>30737930

>they don't fucking add tyrogue cuz it means they'd have to add hitmontop


REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>30729555
It's been proven that they added all babymons along with a pika husband with a Christmas hat.

>>30732213
>Hyping the shit out of
What? Are you genuinely retarded? Sure, there was the Starbucks thing, but there was literally only one Twitter post saying that there'd be new Pokemon. I think they'd try a bit harder if they were going to release the entirety of gen 2. Also, note that they never said which new Pokemon. Y'all built up the hype yourself, and set yourself up for disappointment.

>>30729352
I'm so glad I stopped playing this game

>>30729352
>No Pikablu
Fucking dropped

>>30729555
According to Serebii people are reporting that it's just the Gen 2 baby Pokemon with more coming early 2017. Meaning it looks like Togepi won't be evolving for a while.

>>30738133
Why the fuck would they organize an event like that for a couple shitmons you can't even catch?

Why the fuck are you surprised there were people feeling excited when there were all kinds of revelations from data mines and the event leaks that seemed to strongly indicate that something actually worthwhile was going to happen on the 12th?

Fuck off to Reddit with the rest of the apologists.

>>30732299
According to their press release they'll be adding more Gen 2 Pokemon come early next year, which is silly.

>>30738666
We don't know that for sure yet, until someone hatches a Togepi and proves it can't evolve.

>>30738879
It don't evo.

>>30738775
Hey you have a right to feel disappointed. But you were never promised the entirety of gen 2. You were promised 'new Pokemon', and that'S exactly what you got. Besides, you never know with Niantic's Bullshit, the rest of them could be right around the corner.

>>30739341
Was all the gen 2 pokemon in the data? I can't expect them to put them all.

I doubt they will ever reach all gens. No side series ever is allowed to match the main series in content.

Togepi's already been hatched. It evolves.

>>30739425
I think all of them were. Plus, one of the guys who got an Igglybuff has tons of empty spots in his dex now, from 152-173 or whatever.
