I'm genuinely confused about why people defend SWSH
>limited mons choices from the dex cut
>limited team building from the dex cut
>muh "high-quality" animations
>forced exp share
>no hard mode
>wild area looks like shit
>poor optimization
buy fags, please tell me why you are going to buy a $60 3DS game?

1. Contrarians. Self explanatory. They like getting a rile out of people

2. Casuals. They only care about these games during release cycles and for the month everyone is playing them. Then they drop the franchise till the next release cycle. The 'experience" is what they enjoy. Not the actual games. So Pokemon being cut doesn't bother them.

3. Shills. Either the people who get paid to praise them or the people like PokeaimMD whose bread and butter DEPENDS on people liking Pokemon so he'll come out in full force to defend any new Pokemon product because if the franchise tanks, they have to get real jobs.

I hate using fotm buzzwords, but domesticated is really appropriate. No matter how much GF slacks on the games, removes content or just delivers mediocre products, the drones will forever defend them like good dogs.

This. Although even the casuals defending it would be weird since even they have a favorite that got cut. I'd say it's mostly shills and people who are tired of the drama.

Also 6 of those 12 Fire-types are mono-Fire, and 11-12 (depending on Zamazenta form) of 20 Fighting-types are mono-Fighting (including literally ALL of the new non-legendary Fighting types).

I would like to hear a genuine, non-memeing apologist defend this shit.

I'm sorry but please don't insult any 3DS game, or even any game before it. From what information i collected i can clearly say that SwSh is new level of shittery that we did not saw ever before. XY, a game that was enjoyable but with obvious visible flaws looks like A FREAKING PIECE OF ART in comparision to this thing.
People are already dumping this game, hacking Switch is not hard if one know what to do - please pirate this game. DO IT NOW.

I will probably buy the game second hand. My friend has doubled down on it (his mons survived the snap) and I never had a 3DS so the most recent Pokémon I've played was Diamond back in high school.

what's sad is that B2W2 had it and it was amazing, even tho it was fucking retarded the way you unlocked it.
How come GF still hasn't figured out how to make a selection at the start of the game?
It wouldn't take that much man power and it would greatly please old time fans.

I wouldn't even mind the forced xp share (i don't like grinding honestly), my problem is that the games aren't designed around it.

Digimon Cybersleuth is out on switch and SMT5 is coming out somewhere in the next 20 years.
Don't follow yokai watch, is it any good? Might be of your taste.
Some dragon quest games have monster catching as a prominent feature.

>limited mons choices from the dex cut
I don't play with bros, I always try to use new Pokemon I never used before in each new game I do.

>limited team building from the dex cut
See above, I also don't PvP/Comp

>muh "high-quality" animations
I turn then off anyway

>forced exp share
I've never turned them off (except one Sun play)

>no hard mode
I agree it should be an option but why would I care?

>wild area looks like shit
How is that gameplay? It looks fine.

>poor optimization
This one can be summed up by "I'm used to it".
I'd rather just play it and judge for myself. $60 is like, one day of pay so what am I losing? 20 hours? If I end up not liking it, then I know and I won't buy the next game.

In XY you can make an entire video for your trainer rather than a lousy card, you can get 321 more pokemon, customize your character, ride a bike, fight trainers, enter houses, see pretty towns like Anistar, Couriway and Snowbelle, learn Kalos' history, and to top it all off it retails for $20 cheaper and the champion actually has a full team. You just want it because it's new and you're shallow.

I don't know what an I going to do with just 400 species to pick from for my 6 Pokemon team.

The second point is the same as the first.

The best quality the franchise has ever had.

I hate grinding and switching desu.

Wow, that thing that was totally in every fucking game since Gen I.

That sounds like your opinion man.

That isn't even true.

I'm not buying SWSH, but it's just because I don't want to buy a switch just to play one game

OP, when /vp/ says that the only people that defend shitty pokemon games are drones that only play pokemon, it's not an exxageration. They are addicts and brand loyalist manchildren who cannot fathom skipping a pokemon game because they have nothing else going on in their lives.
