Express yourself on the current state of Pokémon from your perspective. Let it all out, no matter how controversial it may be. If you have any Pokémon related confessions too, you are free to share them.

I'm genuinely excited for pokemon sword and shield. I never use the same Pokemon on a mainline playthrough because i want a new experience, so getting rid of a bunch of old ones doesn't bog me down.

I love the design, but the latest pokemon spoilers really make me nervous about the quality of work going into the concept of individual pokemon. They absolutely stink of James Turner and he should know how bad he is at creating monsters.

i just like pokemon.

this gen seems no diff to other gens, it looks better than X/Y.

i think the dex cut is a shame, but its inevitable. i think i'd rather get over it now than later.

i'm really tired of seeing people fight over this, i wish people cared this much about global warming or something that actually fucking mattered.

i work for a large game studio and the amount of moronic misinformation I see about game development makes me want to kill myself. i wonder how people can be so stupid on purpose.

I hate how the quality of the games is nowhere near where it should be at for the world’s most profitable franchise. We’re getting increasingly unfinished-feeling releases, poor decisions by the directors, and dumbed down experiences in an attempt to appeal to the mobile audience. I don’t understand how anyone can be excited for SwSh when it’s likely going to be more of the same undercooked experience we’ve been getting for several years now.

That goes for the rest of this franchise, really. The only other good thing about it now is the TCG artwork.

I'm really really nervous for the future of pokemon and it's hard for me to jump ship since I've always loved the franchise. I won't ditch it completely, I'll still be playing all games from before Gen 8. People are so ignorant to the fall of the franchise. But if you want to get the game then fair enough, it is your decision. The people who are the worst are the ones who see the problems but refuse to skip. The design of pokemon in Sword and Shield look pretty bad other than Eldegoss and Corviknight, and even Eldegoss is similar to Whimsicott. The franchise is just moving too slow and people are way to susceptible to their marketing tactics. I reckon they're holding off on a feature that will attract a lot of people who disliked it before. I'll just watch the series from a far, but I can't see it realistically getting any better. Watch the inevitable D/P remakes come out and 1/2 of the dexit people buy it. I mean the brand itself is difficult to convince people not to support, but when it comes to remakes and nostalgia, it's basically impossible. It's kinda sad but hey. It's just a trend in society as a whole to move so fast and not linger as much. Who can blame TPC for doing yearly releases desu, if idiots will buy it then why not? People just want the next thing to move onto. We see it here with the people begging for new information. People just can't be patient anymore. Greed is the worst.

I don't love pokemon, I don't even like it. I just play because I used to play when younger and never stopped being entertaining for me, not even after the 3D jump. I guess I'll also play SwShill when someone makes a Switch emulator

I only visit /vp/ because I mildly enjoy the drama, but I know Pokemon will never change. The games are mediocre (even the better ones) and will always be. Too many braindead fans, too many shills and people who is annoyed but they'll buy anyway because their personality and identity is fully constructed around this franchise (the same goes for some of the so-called "real fans" critisizing the new games btw, they have the same mindset but they're more pushy about it)

But yeah, I'm not sad. The same happens with any long lasting franchise with an obsessive following (Star Wars, Game of Thrones, Dark Souls). Fans are a terminal cancer on any franchise, that's not new. They only thing that makes me a little worried is normalfags transitioning to nerdy hobbies. Normalfags make the worst fans of them all, just look at sports / politics / religion

Nice shilling, if only you wasted so much time on global warning or something that actually mattered instead of making carefully made comments to bait retards like me on 4chin

Fuck Game Freak but I think even their dumbasses aren't incompetent enough to not at least release the enhanced editions with all the mons in them. If anything it's a blessing in disgusie that I'll no longer have to buy the same game twice over on principle.
Fuck apologists, too. It pisses me off when I go on Twitter and realize most of those assholes aren't robots or trolls, but actual god damn people who probably vote despite displaying no complex brain activity and call you entitled and then have the audacity to say you attacked them first by trying to prove them wrong about trying to prove someone else wrong. Shit makes me actually want to commit murder, sometimes. I understand how that guy who punched a hole through his wall feels now, except I'm not an apologist so I actually have self-control and don't break shit.

Not really related to the dex controversy but I absolutely fucking loathe people who say shit like "the formula is getting stale" and want Pokemon to change dramatically. "Make the battling more like Pokken" SHUT THE FUCK UP! Go ask for Pokken 2 with a bigger roster you fucking retard. Don't change the most important part of a Pokemon game just because your sorry ass is forcing yourself to like Pokemon just to fit in and look cool. People were hyped for trials because "OMG IT'S DIFFERENT AND DIFFERENT GOOD!!!!" and then the games actually came out and trials were effectively gyms but even worse, because of the reduced variety. Fuck off, the formula doesn't need to change. The games are at worst just as fun as they were when RBY were out.

The battle system is perfect but Game Freak at least needs to stop telling the same story over and over.

I was happy knowing i was not a fan of one or those franchises that just makes yearly games with progressively worse quality like AssCreed did, now even AssCreed is trying to correct its ways while Pokémon keeps descending and prefers to focus on getting a share of the mobile market (which in itself is not bad) while ignoring the market it already has.
On top of that i see fanatics and executives excusing those actions saying "this is a game focused on children" when there are many charts that prove the average Pokémon fan keeps getting older. Even Digimon acknowledges its aging as a franchise while still looking for new fans, it isnt that hard.
The Pokémon we once had is gone, and it's very unlikely it will come back. It's very frustrating and sad.

I stopped seeing them as Pokemon and started seeing them as objects. Similar to the kind that you would make in C++. They are units of data that hold variables and functions. They are simple objects that exist in the basic iostream. There is nothing fun about Pokemon. I have gotten sick of playing it when I tried to. The objects don't have any fun interactions.

This. The worst are the fans who call out other fans and they don't realise they're literally the same I guess that includes me, but at least I'm aware of it and I haven't paid for a pokemon game since 2011

>>39510869

I don't think so. There are people who think nu-pokemon is good. There are people spamming waifu threads because they're horny and lonely and don't know better. There are people so unidimensional that their identities are literally created around pokemon (as >>39509783 said) and they would implode mentally without the franchise. Most of the people behind the national dex outrage are the latter, by the way. They think they can change SwSh by whining on social media (imagine thinking you can make a japanese company change their ways) or boycotting instead of just leaving pokemon behind like any rational person would. GF is retarded but this fandom is even worse

I like that the whole no national dex issue set off people against Gamekfreak's laziness, but I don't actually care about a full national dex beign present in each game. A full regional dex with a sizeable chunk of other region mons available in clever ways is fine by me.

My big issues is the shitty animations, brain dead difficulty, and this increasing reliance on "story" to sell the games. The best parts of pokemon are the pokemon (duh), online battles for the challenge, good art for npcs, a well designed region with lots of off the rails traveling, and good side stuff for when you get tired of battling.

All of that is slowly being lost. The pokemon designs are getting lazier and more of a focus on cutemons (barely any cool/tough mons in gen 7), battling is getting shittier with all these field effects to keep track off and z-moves are dumb, npcs are now all waifubait or fags, and the regions as of gen 7 are way too rail-roady with little else to do, and the side content is crap, and when it's good, it's not good enough to carry the shitty main game aspects.

The last game I enjoyed was OrAs and even than it had some glaring flaws. XY was boring and SM even more so, didn't even feel like buying USM or LGPE and not feeling like buying S/S now. I'm not even liking the designs now I hated half the alola dex and the S/S looks like will be the worse one yet.The games while I always made for profit it seems like now they know it will always sell and so the bare minimum. Maybe we are in the Sonic 06 of pokemon and we will get a Colors/Mania soon

there isn't a single aspect of this franchise that deserves even $9 of revenue, let alone $90 billion and an effective monopoly on their genre.
the games are an absolute fucking joke, game freak can't even make the most basic jrpgs without cutting corners and screwing things up. this is despite having more resources and help than most franchises will ever see. we don't even get spinoffs anymore to distract us from how bad the main games are. those have been replaced by mobile cash grabs.
the pokemon anime is the worst series in the history of anime. it's just unbelievable how stagnant it's been for 20+ years. ash is pathetic and they're too scared to move on from him. how can anyone enjoy seeing him lose the league over and over again? at this point, it's sending a horrible message to kids. the moral of the anime is "don't follow your dreams because you'll always fail."
detective pikachu was soulless hollywood garbage, but it's going to spawn a marvel-esque "cinematic universe" because nu-males are easily impressed.
the manga is a mismanaged mess where plot threads get dropped for years and then the author forgets what he was going to do with them when he finally has time to revisit them.
i don't follow trading card games, but what i've heard about the tcg on here sounds like more typical mismanagement.
even pokemon's bread and butter, the merchandise, misses the whole point of the series with its favoritism. japan and shillmons get all the cool shit, everyone else gets the scraps.
the worst part is that nothing will ever improve. pokemon will just continue to shamble around as a zombie franchise forever, never making good on its potential. it's sad.

It's dead. GF cock teasing the Frontier 3 games in a row had me hoping they were just waiting until they were on a system that could handle the HD models but now that they're cutting corners to the point of the culling, it's dead to me.
