Anyone else content with the LGPE shitstorm? Even if LGPE somehow sells well, the fact is that Gamefreak's reputation has been marred for years and years now, people are finally speaking out about how shitty and lazy Masuda has been, the seeds have been planted and I'm personally very happy.

Honestly, yeah. Not quite to the level of self satisfied edgy energy you're giving off, but I'm glad people are speaking out expecting more from the company behind the worlds largest franchise.

I'll wait until reviews are out before celebrating. LGPE is bound to get good reviews at least, but it might get more criticism than previous installments. A lot of people base their opinion on reviews, and I wouldn't be surprised if many of those who are complaining now not only bought but also started praising LGPE afterwards. Worst case scenario, LGPE gets stellar reviews and all that is going on now gets completely forgotten.

You forget that western reviewers are also complete soibois who prefer walking simulators that don't have any difficulty at all, and since LGPE's basically that, combined with some TPCi and/or Nintendo Dosh, the games are guaranteed to be 10/10s and be proclaimed as "the best games since the originals themselves".

I would be very surprised if that where to happen actoss the board.
Sure you'll get a few jackasses looking for attention, but I think most will find a lot of the aspects boring, but still praise all the little cutscenes and gen1 fan pandering.

LGPE's sales are meaningless as it's effectively a large-scale spinoff series. /vp/ hating the games doesn't mean they'll fail. Masuda doesn't care what any of you think. Pokémon will be just fine like it always has. Fite me.

I think even the casuals will dislike LGPE. They may certainly buy it, but it will probably stain their reputation of pokemon games in general. They don't want constant cutscenes and just have stupid pokemon running around in a fake world, they just liked Go because it was an excuse to go outside and socialize

They're labelled as mainline titles. And like it or not, as mainline titles that are Pokemon's grand debut on the Switch, this means they're going to be vital to determining Pokemon's future, not just because of sales, but because if it flops, GameFreak and Nintendo both are going to lose a fuckton of shareholders and be on a downward spiral.

The games will sell great, everyone will look upon them favorably. You're not the audience. Only /vp/ cares about the things /vp/ complains about.

Don't forget that it's not uncommon to pay/bribe critics to give your products good reviews even of they don't deserve them. I'm totally expecting a Revolution 60 situation with LGPE.

That's a bit of a hasty reaction.

I dunno man. Even on sites like Tumblr and Twitter I've seen people getting antsy with Gamefreak over these games.

This is also Pokemon's Mainline Debut on a CONSOLE, which could very well veer shareholders into forcing Nintendo to go out of their way to make a plain ass handheld just so Pokemon can continue "thriving" as they see fit while giving absolutely zero shits about the cannibalism on Switch.
All they see when it comes to Pokemon is "must be successful", and prioritize that over all else simply because it's the biggest whale in the ocean.

Sorry, I should've said >/vp/ and other hardcore pokemon fans incapable of basic self-awareness

I'm not saying I'll enjoy Let's Go btw, I don't think I'm the audience either. I'm just saying the average child won't care about the increased simplicity. And I'm not even saying that the games aren't lazy cash grabs, I'm just saying that people acting like "FINALLY GF FUCKED UP" are delusional and need to get a grip.

I think either extreme is a bit of an unreasonable expectation.

It will sell less than previous titles due to the price point being much higher than normal, the core base (while not a huge impact) doesn't seem as keen on it, and just being a remake in general.

I think Gamefreak and Nintendo both expect it to not be as big of a hit, but still rake in a good amount of income for the clearly cheaper development cost. Shareholders know they have a more core game coming up.

I agree. I don't think it's going to be their best selling game of all time or anything, and it might even do relatively poorly (relative to the other games in the franchise), but it's not going to signal any sort of downward spiral, or shake things up.

>LGPE is bound to get good reviews at least
this is the problem, just because it's a gen 1 remake it gets a free pass, since there will be a lot of reviewers who will give it good reviews since they will be blinded by their nostalgia, and small little flavor stuff like being able to mount certain pokemon and have the pokemon in the overworld will overshadow the big problems like reduced difficulty, reduced features, and just lack of interesting new mechanics and content in general.
Hopefully there will be a few notable reviewers who will call out gamefreak on their bullshit
