we always win
no wonder nu-genners are always so mad
not even baiting, but it explains a lot.

>>33525582
How can nu-genners even recover?
They should just go back to their retarded version of digimon lmfao.

It's honestly frustrating the level of gen 1 pandering found in the games for no real return.

RGB: 31.4m
GS: 23.1m
RS: 16.2m
DP: 17.6m
BW: 15.6m
XY: 16.1m
SM: 15.7m

Since gen 3, the series has kept a steady install base of 15-16m consumers. The genwun pandering really didn't do much to change that. All it does is create an imbalanced representation of pokemon as a whole. And I speak as someone who's first pokemon game was Yellow.

What Gamefreak need to do to bring sales back to those gen 1 days is actually innovate the series in fresh and exciting ways, and not pander to an audience who long since stopped caring about pokemon. And that may be a monumental task to accomplish, especially when the Switch's current install base is far smaller than any handles from the past. But all huge success are usually a result of taking big gambles and being daring. Simply pandering will yield stagnant results.

>>33525204
I know right? I never bought anything past pokémon Blue, and they are still pandering to me even though I passed to digimon.
Make you joggle your gears.

Also, to add to my point >>33525825 nostalgia is a delicate thing to take advantage of. It can prove fruitful for you to entice older audiences, but it must be used in moderation, otherwise the effect of nostalgia wears off considerably. It comes off more intrusive than it does nostalgic. A similar problem is found with the Sonic franchise with the over reliance of the Classic series between Mania and Classic's appearance in recent games.

can't be mad at the truth
not sure I really understand it though, it's not like genwunners are going to buy the new games

Why do people hate gen 1 pandering? That's like if new Mario games didn't have goombas or koopas.

You can't truly innovate without completely starting from scratch and at that point it wouldn't be Pokemon anymore. The fact that Pokemon manages to achieve the same number of sales despite appearing on hardware that sells a lot less than its predecessors is impressive and shows that the gen 1 pandering clearly works. No modern video game will be able to recapture Pokemania like it was in the 90s, the performance of the modern games is the closest it's ever going to get.

>>33525943
having pikachu in every game isn't the same as gen 1 pandering
speaking of mario, it has SMB3 pandering everywhere

>>33525943
A number of people get upset that normies enjoyed the older games so they perform mental gymnastics to distance themselves from anything relating to gen 1.

>>33525825
I find it funny that DP only got that much more copies sold than RS despite being on an install base nearly twice that of the Gba.

Old is Gold

How can /vp/ ever recover from this?

>>33526959
>/vp/ used Recover!

>>33526961
>/vp/ has no moves left
>/vp/ used Struggle

>>33526981
I want you to understand something.

This board sucks massive cock at battling. I know for a fact that there are numerous posters who have gotten fucked by pokemon using Struggle against them in battles and have lost to Pokemon using Struggle against them.

>>33525968
This, pretty much every mario game since NSMB wanks off to Mario Bros 3 stuff at every turn
