Defend this P.S. You can't http://www.forbes.com/sites/

I unironically don't mind it. I think it's perfectly fair to introduce just a few new mons with each update; if done well, it means we could be getting new mons every month or so. That would definitely help the game imo.

Wants me to disable adblock. nah fuck this

Literally no way to defend this
They didn't even add Tyrogue because they would need to add Hitmontop if they did that

At least Normies looking up "Togepi Pokemon Go" will be justified now, I swear google gave me that as a suggested search months ago. Assuming Normies even still play it. Nobody around here will be that's for sure, it's the Canadian Winter Hellscape.

Did they at least add Togetic?

>Niantic gets critizised for rushing the game and not taking their time
>Niantic decides to take it slow and steadily release new Pokemon
> People lose their shit
Wew

>forbes

The best part of all this is that niantic uses game freak's pokemon assets so adding new pokemon requires minimal effort, but they still refuse to do it

I swear they WANT the game to be even more dead and irrelevant than it already is

niantic is hilariously retarded
you have to TRY to fuck up this hard, it doesn't happen accidentally, they WANT to lose their golden goose

>>30740256
they really should have released some Gen 7 pokemon right after it released

I was actually considering getting back into this.

This basically just confirmed that I'll never play this piece of shit again.

>>30740244
They shouldn't have released an unfinished product, period.

I can't defend it. This update exists solely to make amassing candies even more of a bitch because they're all Babby Pokemon who can be found in eggs that once contained their evolutions, and it's also to promote incubator sales because they're all Babby Pokemon who can only be found in eggs.

>>30740155
The only known pokemon are Pichu and Togepi.

>>30740054
Until they remove the ban on root users, this game is still literally unplayable.

>>30740457
Nah, every baby Pokémon from gen II except Tyrogue apparently is in so I was wondering if Togetic is also in.

wasn't the update supposed to add genders, shinies, and the ability to transfer more than one mon at a time?
has it even dropped yet?

>>30740872
You could transfer more than one for like a week already

>>30741170
really? i keep hearing all over that people were anticipating that in today's update

>>30740054

>can't access article without disabling adblock

fuck off

>>30740537
When you hatch Togepi, there's an option to evolve it. Nobody's actually gotten enough candies to do it yet, but the shadow's there on the bottom.

>>30740054
I stopped playing that shit long ago. That's not nearly enough new mons to reel me back in.

They added the babies first because the game is on life support and they want you to buy incubators.

>>30740054
Do they reuse the models from the games? If that's the case then what could possibly take that much time?

>>30741932
There adding more gen 2 in early 2017

>>30740054
>newfags can't archive
kill yourself

So Togepi, Togetic, Pichu, Cleffa, Igglybuff, Magby, Smoochum and Elekid, right?

I don't mind this so much since with more mons competing for the same spawn point would be obnoxious. I just wish the updates were constant.

>>30741960
This was probably the most logical "first wave" of Johto Pokemon to release. Nobody would give a flying fuck about the babies if they were released alongside other Pokemon.

>>30740290
Less stupidity and more ineptitude. Niantic was lax as fuck with how they handled Ingress, they were never prepared for anything as large-scale and popular as this.
Nintendo should have chose a better studio.

What the hell is the Pokedex going to look like now? Are there just a bunch of blank spaces between Dragonite and whatever babby shitmon comes first?

>>30740130
>Want to search something about whatever gen 5 mon for some reason
>Google autosearches [Pokémon] Pokémon Go

>>30740054
I'm sorry nobody cares about your Dunsparce and Ledian.

played for about 3 months after release and havent picked it up since, this isnt convincing me to get back into it. seems like a lazily produced cash grab mobile game like any other to me

>>30742295
Yep. The rarer babies are very late in the Pokedex, so it's a very big gap.

>>30742008
My normalfag sister loves Jynx. I wonder if she'll like Smoochum?

>>30740054
>please disable adblock
Fuck off, Forbes shill

>>30740054
Normalfags have long since moved on from GO, they had their chance and it's gone.

>>30742325
You think that's bad? I was searching "Pokemon Sun & Moon for Switch" when I heard of the port rumores, and by the time I typed "for" one of the autocompletes was "Pokemon Sun & Moon for Android".

Pokemon GO was a mistake.

go normalfags can't deal with more than 150

>>30742404
for Switch I think will be either Stars or Eclipse or smth, S&M wont come

>>30740256
Quite the opposite, anon. Adding more Pokemon will make Go even deader than it already is, paradoxically enough.

REEEEEEEEEE

>>30740339
Would the product be finished if it only had gen 1 pokemon then? or were you expecting every pokemon released be added? Then when a new gen comes out the game isn't finished any more oh man what a conundrum.

>>30742787
dude give it 3 months. Most likely will release one or more pokemon every month slowly bringing in gen 2. For example, slowking get's released january, umbreon/espeon gets release febuary, kingdra get's released march, Porygon2 gets released april, and so on. There are plenty of evolutions they could release to build up hype. I suspect they will release gen 2 in the summer to try and bring back the crowd again. Would also be cool to feel like it is in the games. Exploring a new region.

>>30743214
Except it won't be. It will be like before and die out possibly quicker this time because gen 1 normies will start to leave feeling the franchise is ruined and for others there still won't be enough content to satisfy them for more than maybe 2 months.

I literally don't understand the problem
I think it's fine to have a slow trickle of new mons

>>30742787
How upset were you when you learned it would only launch with gen 1?

>>30743587
That would be fine if the had started doing so alot sooner

There has been effectively zero worthwhile additions since launch, and the fact that it takes zero effort for them to add new pokemon yet they refused to do it for so long is fucking ridiculous

>>30743587
all the new mons hatch from eggs, most players won't see the majority of them

Can't wait til they catch up to SuMo and start adding their own original pokemon.
