I fucking hate it when Digimon and Yokai Watch get shit on by GF loyaltists because those franchises get a lot right that Pokémon gets right, and vice versa

I, uh, could you explain?

>>32995735
Which one? The first one is self-explanatory.

As for the second, I feel like people on here who give Yokai Watch and other such franchises shit haven't actually given them a chance

Starter wars are a waste of time.

Pokemon designs are still great, people just get used to the earliest designs they grew up with so new mons throw things off for them.

This board is way friendlier and less contrarian than it wants to admit.

OP is an alright dude.

>>32995690
Feminine Pokemon aren't the worst thing ever made and people shouldn't be triggered by them

>>32995752
I didn't intend to start a starterwar, I just don't get all the hype for Charizards design.

>>32995770
I don't hate feminine Pokémon but I wish people didn't want to fuck them

I actually think gardevoir is cool as hell but the pokefuckers on here have tainted the thought of it for me

Unpopular opinions huh? I like pikaclones. If gamefreak hadn't decided to exploit the pikachu archetype on every gen, we wouldn't have the cutie that is emolga.

I found SM very enjoyable. I understand a lot of the criticism about it and I do think it didn't achieve its full potential, but beyond that I just really didn't care about the cutscenes all that much and I liked pretty much all the characters.

>>32995727
What manga is that pic from? I've seen it a couple times and I hope it is from some horror story but I always forget to ask.

>>32995790
I liked Lopunny when I was younger but growing up furfags ruined it, same with Lucario

>>32995778
Oh you didn't and I know you didn't.

But they need to end as a board pastime and hobby even by shitposter standards. Every single starter is pretty cool.

>>32995690
/vp/ is just an edgy version of /r/pokemon

>>32995790
I never understood how this ruins the mon for the people that aren't into furry shit. I've ran across mismagius porn a few times, and I can't bring myself to care in the slightest. Still love mismagius. Could make a similar case for pretty much every pokemon with a wide furry fanbase. I've never felt like it is shoved in your face either (outside of raids, but that's done with that intention to begin with), not as much as to ruin the pokemon, but dunno that's just me.

ORAS and SM were fun and I'm really excited for USM
litten is the weakest design in its entire line
none of the Alola starters' final evolutions are great or terrible, they're all just ok

Charizard IS a bad design. It's basically an inconsistent Dragonite. It's a stick, except for its fucking beer belly.

I like Incineroar and Samurott, They have better designs than people thinks.

>>32995970
That is setting the bar very low

>>32995988
Yeah, I know but, still pretty fun
It's like spooky gen 2.

I hate the knock off buff
I hate how fairy types outclass psychic and ice types

I think waifufagging is fine.

I think people who complained about people who waifu are usually worde than the people doing the waifuing.

The best evolutions are the ones with drastic changes like Dewott to Samurott or Sliggoo to Goodra.

I don't want a quadruped fire starter.
I like that gf has been slowing down on the amount of new Pokémon.
Tripfags/namefags are alright.

>Fairy types ruined the fanbase by opening the tumblr floodgates
I think the pokemon franchise being popular among with kids who grew up into tumblr users has more to do with it than fairy type

Gen 7 is the best generation since Gen 5.

ORAS is better then HGSS

Zinnia is a fantastic character

The Lillie plot in Sun and Moon is not the worst thing about the game.

I'm doing a Sonichu run in Sonic Forces before I do a Coldsteel run.

Gen 5 is one of the best gens design wise

These are most likely unpopular here:

Gen 7 mons are among the best designs in the series in a long time, Gen 6 was there, but it missed certain things that could've made it great. Also, saying that Gen 7 mons are ruined by Incineroar or any pokemon like that, you realise that you're just like the same people that say Gen 5 was bad because of Garbodor and Klingklang, right? The ones that /vp/ constantly call them retarded and autistic, because they let something as small as that cloud there judgement? Yeah, take a look in the mirror.

Gen 6 has the best designed starters.

Gen 7 has the best designed starters.

Buddy, no one here can even unironically like Goodra because of Slugfucker.
The recent raids we've been having caused people to turn away from both Furret and Buizel.

Charizard is the most overrated Pokemon.
Gen 3 is the most overrated generation, and not because "muh water" or "muh trumpets" (I actually like the trumpets).
Objectmon are the best-designed Pokemon.

>>32998022
Slugfucker?

>>32995690
I'm happy that third versions are back and I can't wait for Pokken Deluxe

Heatran is the coolest legendary Pokemon to come out of DPPt

VGC is objectively worse than smogon and I'm glad it is dying out

>>32998075
I like Heatran, too, but Arceus is one of my absolute favorite designs - not just of a Pokemon, but of a monster in a game in general.

>VGC is objectively worse than smogon and I'm glad it is dying out
This so much.

I don't like or hate this generation's starters. They're just ok. I don't feel strongly about any of them one way or another. Though I feel I should.

>>32998028
https://encyclopediadramatica.rs/FemaleGoodra

>>32998022
See but that's what I mean. I don't get how an autist's obssession over a mon gets a large amount of people to the point where they can no longer like the mon itself.

Take the time with the heliolisk porn raids for example. I can still like heliolisk because the raids aren't the mon's fault. I really don't understand why this is so difficult for other people to grasp, to the point where "you can't like it anymore because some people want to fuck it".

>>32998349
Trying to fit in, simple.
This is a small board, it's always the same people aside from hype season. Hating Goodra is cool not because people actually hate it, but because they share the hate that experience (the porn spam) gave them.

I don't really bother comparing features or number or whatever - I just judge a game by how much I enjoyed playing it. (even if that does put gen VI above gen V)

I don't think any generation is better or worse - design wise - than any other. But I do think with more pokemon comes more chance that everyone will find some they like.

I think regional (or alolan) forms are better in almost every way than megas, and I think megas were probably a mistake.

I actually liked having the 3D in battles and stuff back in gen 6. Wish it could've been implemented in SM

XY, while flawed, was a good game nonetheless. It also has the hypest regional dex thus far and provides with enough strong and impressive Pokemon to make your dream team. Also, its choices of character customization in terms of clothing is better than SM's plus the protag looks less "permanent happy creepy".

>>32995690
Gen III was the best gen

>>32995690
I don't want more Pokemon, 800 is more than enough.

I think Pokémon Reborn is better designed and more fun with a better plot than any main game

HGSS aren't as good as people say they are

>>32995690
The Alola starters are miles better than the Kalos starters, even though they aren't amazing

>>33001014

Gen 1's starters are boring, ugly, and worthy of their permanent home in the PC

Gen VI had superb poke designs and had a very good idea of their starters

>>33001014
this, the only passable Kalos starter was greninja, and even then it's just decent

>>33000984
It really isn't.

Most of the flaws about Gen 2 weren't addressed and all they did was give us a full sized Kanto with nothing to do but collect Badges.

Not a fan of walking pokemon. I'm completely okay with the fact that it hasn't returned and would hope, if it ever does, that it's optional. Best of both worlds, I suppose. I'm not even sure why I dislike it but I feel like the time and assets it takes to implement the feature could be put to better use.

>>33000738
I was thinking about this earlier. I never really gave much thought to the "1k limit" meme but that is a lot of pokemon. The regional variants from gen 7 were nice. I wouldn't mind more of those and more branched evos like the poli line has. I do, however, want to see a day where all of the remaining unused type combos are represented. If it means nothing but regional variants to do so, cool, fine by me.

>>33000984

I agree. Same with Platinum, though I find that the better game despite Sinnoh's tedium due to the dex and the boss battles.

Sun and Moon were good. Flawed, but good.

I don't really care for Gen 3 and 4 starters, minus Sceptile and Torterra.

There are too many legendaries. Each Gen should introduce like 3 each tops. It got really bad in Gen 4 with lots of very similar legendaries, as well as the genies in Gen 5.

>>32995950
like a bear right?

>>33001014
I doubt that's an unpopular opinion

>>33004104
I unironically like all Pokemon and think no one is badly designed.

>>33004324
Shit didn't mean to quote, my bad

>>33004097
For Incineroar, like a tiger, as seen in pic related - just a tiger standing up. Krookodile, like a croc - it just has leg power to stand up, and stay up. Even Greninja may be on all fours resting at times.

>>32995690
>I like the SM starter evolutions
>I'm glad we got a third version/sequel (whatever USUM is) instead of a sinnoh remake
>pokephiles (specifically the ones that wanna fug non-sapient animalistic mons) are degenerates

I hate how I am considered a gen oner just because I think the new designers are trash.

How could I be a gen wunner when I find at least 2 or 3 pokemon decent looking in every generation?

Most are trash though.

>>32995982
Me too anon. I don't understand the hate for samurott, he is a cool otter samurai. Wish his stats weren't so garbage.

gold and silver were shit I played them on the emulotar

gen 6 was simply the best because it let you get another starter and the environments are the best of the series

>>32996805
>Gen 7 is the best generation since Gen 5.

HGSS is really boring and is very far from being the best entry in the franchise

Incineroar/Decidueye/Primarina are definitely one of the better starter trios in pokemon

gen 6 really isn't that bad. they're kind of boring but they also have a certain charm to them that allows me to replay them once or twice

Incineroar/Chesnaught/Samurott are the most well-designed starters in the last three gens

Kanto is a really boring region. Like, Johto, even though I dislike it, had its comfy moments, but Kanto is just bland and really not fun at all

>>32995752
most of the gen 1 designs are terrible, but gf still doesn't know what they are doing now. i'd say its more like pokemon designs have always been mostly mediocre with a few good ones.

>>32996047
Samurott is actually not even that big of a jump when it retained the samurai motif, became bluer, and got bushier whiskers. I don't get people who assume it changed too much. Because it stopped being on two legs?

>>33005433
I agree that gen 1 pokemon are easily the worst designs of the series but they've gotten somewhat better lately with the ultra beasts finally improving the art.

>>32996154
no, even still, know that you are definitely judged

>>33005417
>HGSS
yup, its shit I don't know what people see in it. X and Y are far superior to them. It's a shame SM kind of took a step backward from X and Y

Objectmons are usually great and I want more of them.

Kanto doesn't have a single bad design and has the most consistent dex.

Objectmons are some of the best designs created.

XY was extremely comfy and one of the best, if not the best first games on any generation

yup, I'd argue that they're better than most of the mons that are based on stupid animal designs

>>33005458
XY was shit
Chibi graphics didn't help it
Story was boring as fuck

>>33005492
XY had the best story of the series IMO, covering the pokemon war and war scarred veterans of it coming to terms with the holocaust they caused. Had the best feels of the series and easily the best art design.

Giving every trainer on a route 4+ pokemon is a bad idea because past a point it'd turn into padding? The difference between fighting 3 trainers with two Rattatas and 3 trainers with six Rattatas is entire minutes

>>33005510
Too much kanto pandering for my liking.

>>32995800
>>32996791
The artist looks to be Junji Ito. I beleive this one was about a girl obsessed with anime who became an anime character... Actually she trapped herself in a mask. She wasn't happy they broke the mask!. I wish I could remember more.

>>32999951
Don't forget the superior training and untraining methods. XY was great.

>>33005542
oh yeah no doubt, I wish they'd just stop putting them in games. Thats really the only flaw of XY is that the genwun pokemon are included

>>32995690
I don't think any mainline Pokemon game is bad. Not even Diamond and Pearl.

People who think "X should be removed from the game" can literally drink bleach for all I care. Of course I don't think every design is gold, but I'm not petty enough to think "design I don't like" should be gone because I know there is someone who likes said design.

ROMhacks are really cool and all, but I think most of them miss some crucial points to what Pokemon is trying to achieve

I don't believe every Pokemon needs to be "OU material" but I also believe if a pokemon is "bad competitively" they should be good in something else, which is why I miss the minigames like the Contests and Pokeathelon.

>>33005554
Agreed also not to mention the encounter rate for the new pokemon introduced are really low compared to old pokemon.

>Sinnoh games are by far the least remarkable in the series and everything about them is grossly overblown by fans just so they can act like it's trash/special

>>33005666
A fun group of friends with light hearted competition and the main character comforting and helping the spirit of a long dead war vet find peace. The beautiful flowers and grasses that give it charm and a beauty not found in other games. Not to mention the absolutely stunning Lumiose City with so much room to explore and so many secrets.

>>33005684
There you go buddy, i knew you had it in you.

>>33005689
X and Y have a well thought out concise storyline from start to finish where HGSS is disjointed and simply too difficult if you want to play through the postgame. Otherwise HGSS is too short because no one really wants to waste time on it's postgame. It's a shit game objectively.

>>33005666
of course satan wouldn't be able to understand the comfiness that is Kalos

The Anime is aways been repetitive in every season after Kanto.

All of the Kanto starters look Boring compared to their 1st Stages. (Charmander line is OK though)

Lucario is my favourite Steel Type

Gen 5 is THE best Gen, it tries to be completely new instead of pandering to 'MUH GENWUN' crowd, and is the peak of good Challenges.

>Pic Related

>>33007970
That's because of the backlash that came after the Gen 5 complaints about Garbage and Ice Cream Pokemon.

People started pointing at Magnemite and Grimer and Voltorb as "bad designs" just because they weren't based on animals, like how some people acted towards gen 5 designs.

>>32995690

SM hold little replay value, have horrible gameplay choices and are kinda bland.

Platinum is pretty okay. Best Gen 4 game, honestly.HG/SS are boring. "muh walking Pokemon" isn't enough to make the game fun

Gen 3 was the last time we had 10/10 starters. Gen 7 starters are mediocre.

Unpopular opinion: Norman does not deserve the hate he gets, and honestly Archie and Maxie are both horrible people that should have gotten arrested at the end of RSE/ORAS and never seen again.
