Just let it all out anons, get whatever you have to say off your chest as we say goodbye to the franchise that kept us company through so many long nights. It was a good run, and I'm glad for the memories, even if this is how things panned out.

I hope one day we can all come together again. Maybe for something good, too.

Fuck memories and fuck nostagia, replay your old games. Or are you a faggot who sold his old games? You din’t have to say goodbye. Don’t let Ishihara, Masuda, and Ohmori steal Pokemon from you.
Konami buttfucked and flayed Castlevania and turned it into pachinko, but I still have the old games with me. We won’t get the 1999 Demon Castle War game but I have all IGA metroidvania games. I have fond memories but they also still exist for me, they aren’t just “fading memories”.

It's going to just be a bog standard Pokemon game, I'm not bored of those yet but I am pretty casual. Saying that, if Pokemon does die, oh well. I'm not that attached to this series so as long as the games are fun, I'm not triggered by a tree or the idea of a game series dying. I can cope.

You're right anon. While the future of pokemon looks bleak, and I've lost my faith in game freak to develop a good product, we all still have the old games. We can still relive those memories, we can still enjoy what used to be.I still have all my bros in Alola, and that's where we're going to stay.

Reminder that 400+ Pokémon have been cut, 140+ moves have been cut, the most useful TM moves are back to being single use items, the starters are shiny locked, the main game is only 20 hours, there is no post game story, and there is no battle theme that plays when you catch the box legend

We'll never get that MAIN SERIES game that was supposed to be the best of the Stadiums + Colosseum/XD. Never. Hell, we'll never get side games on that caliber ever again. Whatever Home's gonna have, I don't want it. It's extortion.

On that note, I remember hearing early leaks about how there were corrupt members within the Galar league and not to sound like an edgelord but I thought that had so much potential. Like maybe Marnie and Bede would be assholes to you but then you join up with them to take down Rose and Hop realizes he doesn't have to constantly be in Leon's shadow or whatever idk

But the actual plot just sucks so bad.

I was really just looking forward to a new game. I think at first I was hoping for something incredible - a new start for the series that moved away from the tired old conventions of the other games. Then as we discovered more about it I saw that it would be closer to SuMo than I'd hoped...but I thought that'd be okay too - it'd just be a blast to journey through a new region, to make a new team and play with my friends.

Now that the leaks and streams have revealed even more my heart has dropped. If I do wind up playing them then it'll be in a year or two when I can find a used copy for cheap and the competitive meta is figured out.

I honestly like the Pokemon designs and most of the music here. Most of my favorites are in, too. Problem is the game is full of bad technical decisions that are supposedly going to stay with the series now. I don’t want yet another new gimmick every generation, I don’t want to worry about my favorites getting axed the next generation, and I don’t want more cutscenes like they had in SM. In a perfect world I could enjoy the game for what it is, provide feedback, and that feedback would be considered to improve Gen 9 and this would all just be a series low point.
What this leak season has shown, though, is that feedback is not only disregarded but seemingly used as a basis of what they actively avoid fixing. As long as even a small group of people praise the company for making a game that loses its worth after the credits roll, they will continue to not listen to criticism.
I don’t want to buy it because that’s the only way to even remotely submit my feedback, but even then I know my removal of 60 USD to their pool doesn’t mean shit. I think that helplessness of providing criticism is the part that hurts the most.
But whatever, I’m not in college anymore and don’t have a dedicated group to play with anymore anyway. Plus VGC has been shit for years. I still want improvement and will play the shit of the games if they do improve, but I guess it’s just time to stop caring about it.

Say what you will about Sonic Team. They at least manage to provide unique experiences almost every time (except arguably Forces). Sure, they may be uniquely bad for the most part, but they're still unique. They also put out good games on occasion.

I can't say the same for Gamefreak at all though. Not since XY.

Forget Dexit or Jap-jank, the absolute most egregiously awful thing about this game is how fucking terrible the difficulty balance is. It’s early-00’s-knockoff-nintendo-tier bad. Everyone said “GF balanced the game around the exp-share being on” no, no they didn’t. This was a rushed, ass game with missing content that’s become a yearly blegh like NBA2k or FIFA. And the missing content will be resold to us piecemeal in later games. Congratulations TPC, you have become a AAA publisher. Double-digit IQ cretins who sold their old games or peed on the cartridges as kids will be saying how seeing Charizard brings back their nostalgia, but those fags probably didn’t even own the fuckin 2BA Master CD. I do. I watched the anime religiously as a kid, I own most of the original dub movies, and I remember being a little shit putting HMs on my Charizard in Yellow. I skipped the 3DS generations because I never had the console, I didn’t buy LGPE because I wanted to wait for gen 8. Sure I was mad. Now I’ve moved on. But I’ve also not given up my love of the franchise.
You know, I never even played PMD Explorers of Sky...I have a great adventure waiting for me.

Same as you but I made this realization way back during XY/ORAS. It feels like a part of my childhood has died, and its extremely isolating to see everyone get excited for it when even when I tried my hardest I couldn't find a single reason to get excited. I miss going out and getting legendary codes to do stuff like the Darkrai and Victini special events, the super immersive world of HGSS that I spent hundreds of hours in, spending entire days hunting for a shiny (and even though I didn't catch one I felt like maybe I could if I kept at it and then I'd feel super proud of myself), I miss playing with my Pokemon in stuff like Coliseum and Ranch, and I miss being able to go into each new game knowing it would all be stuff I'd never seen before- new area, new 120-150 Pokemon- instead of maybe 50 with a bunch of old ones sprinkled in.
I remember my heart sank when I saw how easily I'd cleared XY, when the Gen I favoritism started creeping into the main campaign, when I got a shiny within 20 minutes of attempting chain fishing and how disappointed I was, and how utterly frustrating and unfun it was to grind without EXP Share in ORAS because the curves had been adjusted.
Am I mad at GameFreak? Hell yeah. But ultimately I just want the Pokemon I loved back. For anyone feeling down, Pokemon Sage captures everything I used to love about Pokemon (even though it's only 2 gyms long at the moment), so go check it out.
So long, space cowboy...

I have two conditions to buy a Pokemon game: Have all the Pokemon available in some form (excluding event Pokemon, maybe), and have a working Battle Tower worth teambuilding for. That first condition seemed like such a given for each game that I didn't even think about it, and now I wish I only had the second one to worry about. To put it into perspective, I played Y for about 800 hours, just breeding/raising random teams for all the Maison formats. Super Triples was particularly fun for me because it allowed some interesting gimmicks to work pretty well. I streaked past 200 in Y's Super Triples with a team that relied on Water+Fire Pledge, and a Garchomp with a Wide Lens spamming Rock Slide for constant flinches. Just putting stuff like that together and seeing it work was extremely satisfying for me. I excused the removal of triples/rotations in gen 7 because building teams for Super Doubles was still fun for me, and A-Raichu (one of my top 10 alongside regular Raichu) was an absolute star when paired with Tapu Koko. Now, in gen 8, there's no full dex to piece together teams with, and if the rumors are true, the Battle Tower's also nerfed to not have Super formats. I was already not going to buy it (or a Switch for it) but holy fuck, a part of me wants to believe this generation was made intentionally bad so Game Freak will be freed from their apparent torment. The culling may have even rendered simulators unusable to an extent since new TMs/TRs would have made some significant changes to most of the cut Pokemon, and having "expanded" formats would mix gen 7 and gen 8 in a weird, unprecedented way. It's almost impressive how their fuckups are so catastrophically large that even dedicated fans of competitive battling are going to have a hard time picking up the pieces of this shattered generation before they can even think of trying to have fun with it. Good job, Game Freak. At the very least, I can be happy they can't bring the old games down to this level.

I agree with the moves part. They could at least give moves multiple functions from the attack menu if they're deadset on a four move limit.
I kind of agree with the concepts part. Gen 6 had some abilities and experimental niches, but didn't really go far with them.
I don't agree with the last part. I can't imagine how they could make the current system compelling with any AI. At the very least, they'd have to layer it with a myriad of gimmicks to elevate it. Likewise, I haven't seen anything compelling out of ROM hacks that's changed my opinion.
That's just me tho; maybe your imagination can cook something up.

Honestly I think that brings up an interesting idea: transfer only your most prized pokemon to one game, then simply restart your adventure and fill up the dex again. Let your old dex wash away like a leaf in a stream. New memories, new shinies await. Sith proper care of carts and emulation, you can let your kids experience this adventure too. I will be sharing these with my children, along with other old games. The old Pokemon anime and movies too

Battle tower. They couldn’t even be assed make a separate villain hq, the battle tower is the hq and also the postgame besides raids. The alola and kanto mons found in the code are might be timed raid battles or something saved for the “enhanced” (read: nor beta-version) reakes dynasword and dynashield.

I've seen a lot of people give suggestions for changes to how the gym leaders'/post-game trainers' teams are composed, giving them a solid gimmick or strategy that takes actual thinking to overcome (status dependent team, weather based team ala swiftswim/sunnyday competitive teams except maybe a bit less hard). I think that, combined with actually interesting new moves and more Pokemon with special niches or roles it could really revitalize the battle system. That and actually start caring about balance because even in the good games like DPPt and HGSS you can accidentally overlevel super easily, not to mention the postgame turns into a joke because you get an uber-tier Pokemon as your consolation prize for beating the campaign.

No need to transfer anything, just see a tutorial on how to backup and restore save data files. The only features you need a real cart for are face to face trading in BW and pokewalker stuff in HGSS, everything else you can do without a real cart. I still have them, I never had the chance to get them when they were new.
Reproductions are improving, so I hope that eventually I can replace my originals with some advanced copies that work similarly.
I am still backing up my savefiles and making new ones as I go.

"Zoomers" are the ones getting this upset about a bad video game. Get the fuck over it and move on

I'm 29, I've been playing the games since red and blue launched. I grew up with the series. And it's been going downhill for the last decade, honestly probably since 5th gen. 6th gen was terrible. 7th gen was terrible. 8th gen being this bad isn't surprising or a new thing at all

Just fucking move on like you should have years ago. Theres other good monster collecting RPGs out there and a lot of them have been better than pokemon for years

Yeah all that's cool and would probably hit the spot for most long time fans. A strong team is one thing, but cobbling one together and adapting it for multiple themes in-game can be entertaining. I like it, and it's a lot better than what Sw/Sh are.
I just don't think that's sufficient enough of a jump for a 23 year old series. What you're talking about should have been the case by gen 3/4... Actually, iirc, some post game areas back then did adapt some of these features, which is a testament to how much the series has regressed. Pokemon is due for some serious catching up.
Maybe it's just me because I've been on the battle sims for so long (I think I started in 2003 when battlenet just added sprites) that the current core system just doesn't interest me anymore - at least not as part of a single player game.

Why they keep making excuses and blaming the dissapointed fans for not appreciating Gamefreak. The company with literally the most powerful brand ever made. What are they giving you that's so valuable that you must defend them like a pawn in return? Why wouldn't you want them to make better games? Encourage them to shift to longer schedules so they don't come out half baked and missing tons of features.

They are not our friends. They are an extremely powerful company known to bend the truth to hide their mistakes or to generate false hope. If they restructured, the games could be so much better. But, there's a constant feedback loop of blind encouragement from rabid defenders who take any critique as an attempt on a life

Honestly, I think people just dont want to admit that one of the biggest things theyre into since childhood has gone to shit. I had to swallow that pill recently. I realized almost every series I'm into has has been killed off, whether it be that they ended shittily, got """woke""" at the expense of story/gameplay, or got rebooted/milked to being a souless husk. Not even the internet is safe any more, everything is tapped by fucking shills and filled with retarded normalfags. I'm not even happy coming to this site most times any more, the only reason I havent left is because I have no other place to go and I know theres still some decent faggots around here.

Corporate greed killed entertainment, and youd be better of making your own shit or throwing yourself into romhacks if you're looking for fulfillment. Christ, TV shows have gotten so bad that fucking fanfiction is becoming a more viable alternative somehow.

I've been with this series since R/B

And I'll say I've hated the genwun pandering ever since Gen6 came out. I was honestly okay with the switch over to 3D, but for some reason it came with a hard push at nostalgia over actual content. its been disappointing for awhile now. I don't feel pandered to when i hear over and over "KANTO KANTO KANTO KANTO KANTO" and I grew up playing Blue and Yellow version. I feel annoyed watching it, the games practically revolve around only Kanto at this point, everything has to keep coming back to it at the end of the day, its gotten so damn bad.

I can respect BW2 as probably the last good games with effort put into them.
Playing Ultra Moon recently, its not terrible, but I can admit that the games have been a fuck up lately. I'm not so invested into them that I'm blind to them. I just want a Pokemon game that feels like Rune Factory 4; where you're forced to go "Yeah, there's effort put into this, in fact there's so much effort put into it that I don't think you can ever run out of shit to do here. This is slowly taking over my life and destroying me". Rune Factory 4 was at minimum a 300 hour experience that pandered to all previous games, included every boss from every previous game, pandered to fans correctly while also paying proper respect to all the new shit instead of revolving soley around the old shit, and there was so much shit to do that it never seemed to stop.

I want a pokemon game like that, where it doesn't pander to just Kanto. Where it panders to all previous games properly, while keeping the current gen as the core and not making it feel tacked on while Kanto bullshit takes the forefront.

I'm getting the game because I like Pokemon that's it. I've enjoyed every Pokemon game I've played (some more than others) I'm going to play the new games during winter break & then forget about them afterward as I've done with every other Pokemon game since I stopped being 10. I don't give a fuck about cut Pokemon or shit graphics what I do care about is whether or not the game is fun(the fact that it looks easy & XP share scares me). I'm a grown-ass man & a casual. Once I beat the game and battle my friends post-game I'm done & I'll wait for the new one in three/four years.

Honestly, this. I had a series I loved and was highly involved with the community for, but I ended up abandoning it after some choices happened which I hated and dropped the show. I ended up growing quite distant from several, not all, of the friends I made through it without that common ground.

People will still defend and partake in this kind of stuff simply because it's what helps them bond with friends they might otherwise not have much in common with.

Possibly but I doubt kids care or will even buy the game at all. They're into Fornite & whatever the biggest Youtube & Social Media "influencer" likes.

I'm surprised you haven't. I used to do lots of reruns of the older games and have used most of the Pokemon avaliable up until Gen 5. Gen 6 and 7 was when my love for Pokemon dropped hard because the games weren't really any good anymore. I've tried giving XY and USUM a try again but I just can't get into it anymore. I can still play Gens 1-5 (except 4 cus its slow) with relatively little issue.

Pokémon was one of the unifiers of my poorass family. My brothers and I shared a single gameboy and played our hearts out of the old games and grew alongside them. I remember racing against the battery in silver because the saves didn’t and my brothers seeing how far each of us could go. I remember watching the first volume of Pokémon on loop cause we couldn’t afford new movies. I remember that Christmas my elder brother got the first console anyone bought for any of us: a game boy advanced with Sapphire. I remember despite it being his l, he still shared it with us and we all played together. I remember us deciphering fucking Braille to find the Regis only for my brother to kill them all cause he forgot to save 3 hours before. I remember catching my first shiny (Whismur) and being so very happy and then a little disappointed when he evolved. I remember playing and sharing the newer games and continually having fun with my brothers as we together beat elite four after elite four, and now...

Now.... half my brothers don’t even wanna touch Pokémon anymore because of SWSH.
The other half grew more hardy and distant, and never talk to me if only to berate me and my younger brothers.

I just wanna happily play Pokémon with my bros again to be crowding all around a small screen catching them all.

I just fucking want us to be happy again

Again, if you want a challenge I really urge you to try Pokemon Sage. It retains a cool aspect of Gen 1 that not many people know about, which is that which starter you chose determined the difficulty due to the ordering of the gyms and their typing (Squirtle is easy, Bulbasaur is medium, and Charizard is hard if I recall correctly?). So if you want a challenge going into that game pick the grass starter since you start on an icy mountain. It forces you to catch other Pokemon (which are the same type as most everything else which means no type advantage at all really) in order to not immediately die and it's really fun, I liked being forced to work on my team beyond the starter. It does other things really well too but yeah, it's good.

I remember all of the friends irl and in-game that I've made, I'll never forget these memories.
I will never forget my og starter, sceptile, who was with me from beginning to end
I will never forget politoed, the birthday gift from my brother, back when he used to like me. I miss my bro & seeing politoed always makes me sad and nostalgic.
I'll miss my staraptor, the pokemon I just thought was pretty damn cool. i made the most friends by sharing staraptor as a fan-favorite, and lending my staraptor to caleb and the rest to beat cynthia. staraptor will not be forgotten
I'll miss spiritomb, accidentally running into one just from a hunch on a rumor. I caught that thing with my last dusk ball, and I love that demonic frizbee.
I'll miss my two raticates, my kantonian who brought me through johto & I bred with totem raticate, to get my second, alolan raticate. I always rely on raticate to get me out of a pinch in battle.
but most of all,
I'll miss Abbigail. My now passed gf who died of breast cancer way too soon. she loved pokemon with me, and I named My gardevoir after her:
> GARDEVOIR
my first captured pokemon, and my first shiny simultaneously. i remember it was 11pm on my birthday that i found a sparkly blue ralts, and i caught it. I named it after my best friend at the time, abbigail. I will never forget either of you,
Abbigail.
> I'll never forget the friends I've made with pokemon, caleb, erik, jackson, theo, all the battles, trades, pokemon caught, all the good times battling on PBR at theo's place, making school tournaments, I'll miss those good times.

If gen 9 stays the same then unfortunately they do not care about the fans and that is the moment where I will finally call it quits. But i think there’s still a small glimmer of hope

Many people's hopes were riding on this game, a game that's been hyped up for years, a console debut people have wanted since the N64 days. And this is what your hype and hopes ended in. It ended in this, a game that disrespects the series to its very core. A game that fails on every single front. A game that did things that people JOKED about in shitpost threads.

INF my ace 'bro'mon, medicham. based as fuck, won me so many battles.
INF all the leagues my team won, hoenn, sinnoh, kanjo, unova, kalos, now alola.
INF the stories I wrote about my adventures with my pokemon & irl friends in the pokemon world. I don't care how cringey they are, the taste of that nostalgic honey is like ambrosia of God.
INF ferrothorn, umbreon, dragonite, and ninetales-a, all completing my main team.
INF hearing that hoenn got remakes, shame about what they did to hoenn
INF the frontier records we held
INF the speedrun that I did just for the hell of it.
INF running through black2 again for nuzlocke
> INF asking glenn to hack my cartridge to have all my bros in at lvl 5 just for this custom-team nuzlocke run of black2
> INF working my ass off to make sure that all 6 survived my gruelling hardmode no center run. all 6, even ninetales (k this time)
INF how close we got in a state pokemon tournament, we got 3rd
INF the day I heard the news about the dex cut
INF when I, through teary eyes, booted up ultrasun on my 3ds just to see my loyal team
INF when i did all of that just to audibly say through my crying eyes and distraught voice, "don't worry, I'm not going anywhere unless all 18 of you are there with me. i'm staying right here until then." (yes i'm that much of an emotional wreck. yes I have 18 faves)
INF when my old friends consoled me after they said they weren't buying too
INF when we agreed to host one last tournament, just to remember the good times

This sums it up for me. When I heard the next game was going to be on the Switch AND the Dex was cut I wasn't concerned I was mildly excited.
Holy shit, finally a CONSOLE Pokemon game and it's going to be cutting the dex to focus on... nothing.
It didn't focus on anything.
It's just ok.

I got into Pokemon Romhacks recently because they're better. Fan-made games made by people who had to sit and figure out the code and spend years creating tools just to decipher and edit it, have created superior products. People who think game balance is giving every rival team pokemon Double Team have made me more interested in playing Pokemon again than Ultra Sun/Moon or SWSH.

AND IT'S NOT LIKE THEY RAN OUT OF IDEAS!!! Some of the new regional forms are cool. Some of the new designs are cool. The mixed up fossil thing is cool. We finally accepted that HMs are dumb and they didn't return! We have a POKEMON LEAGUE IN-GAME...
but it's dwarved by shoddy animation, bad backgrounds, bizarre pokemon sizing, a cut dex, awful cutscenes and empty worlds.

Just return to 2D Gamefreak, everything good you made was there.
But hell if you do, you might not even be able to top people who make Pokemon games without being paid.

pokemon was a biggest facet of my childhood, it was a common interest with my high school love, and what kept me company when i was going through chemotherapy. what i learnt from life was that you don't have to be perfect, but you should at least try no matter what. so why couldn't you do the same gamefreak?

Pokemon Clover
Pokemon Sage

Usually people off 4chan have no knowledge, no linked vision or no common interests and get into a fight and fall apart.
Pokemon Clover is the exception and if you wanted to REALLY make a Pokemon game or support a Pokemon game, then you should try contact them or at least play the game. It's really good.

This is where I am too, anons. I just wanted to have fun with new pokemon in a new region. But the last few days have managed to crush even those expectations -- seeing the gameplay just killed it for me, ultimately. Not because I was spoiling the content for myself, but because... there's so little content to experience in the first place. It sucks.

XY really was the start of the decline. I enjoyed most of it, but slamming into the post-game wall and seeing the literal nothing to do after the fact was rough, and it's only gotten worse from there.

My standards were lower than low, and yet here I sit, disappointed all the same.

We have showdown and fan games and I'm grateful for that. But man I wish the actual parent company could put out something of quality again, for old time's sake.

This happened to Pokemon Sage because the autists working on it took (and still take) themselves too seriously. Pokemon Clover actually went along and is mostly finished now because it was conceived as a meme game from the start, so everyone working on it was just having a good time.

Misery loves company, and I appreciate some of you guys for putting into words more or less the same things I'm feelings.

For all the problems Gen 6 and 7 had, at the end of the day I still considered them decent games in a vacuum. For example, the one that pissed me off the most was the lack of Battle Frontier in ORAS because of how they handled interviews related to it, but when looking at ORAS as just a game in a vacuum, it was overall pretty decent, and did have some cool new features like Soaring and DexNav.

I am not feeling this in the least bit with Sword and Shield. It simply amazes me how they managed to fuck up so many things within this entry. Every other day for like 2 weeks now something new leaked that was as bad as the lack of Battle Frontier in ORAS. I just can't wrap my head around how the fuck this could've happened.

I'm honestly really sad. I love Pokemon, I always have, and I'll always be drawn to it. Even as I've grown older and other passions in my life have burned out or fallen behind as I get busy with uni and work and life in general, I've always been attached enough to at least care about what goes on. But despite buying USUM on launch I still haven't played it, wasn't interested in LGPE, and I am genuinely not purchasing SS. It feels heartbreaking to say goodbye to my favorite series like this, but as other games have innovated and reinvented themselves to make better and better games, this series has somehow taken the opportunity to get worse. Pokemon will always be fun because it's Pokemon, but that's no longer enough to make me spend my own money and time on it when I have plenty of other games to play that are fun because they're actually good, not just because they're part of a series I used to be so dedicated to. I hate that I still love this series, because I get hurt time and time again. I guess it's finally time to move on.

I fully expect this shit to blow over and it makes me FURIOUS. I am so tired of the homogenization towards mediocrity in all avenues of life. It is mind numbing. It's like I'm constantly being told "No, things were never good." And now I have to deal with it in Pokemon, too. I wanted to believe XY and SM were just GameFreak getting their feet wet with 3D, that they were just learning, that once they had the power of the Switch at their disposal they'd really show us the passion they had back in the GSC days. But no.

Of fucking course not. Utopianism and bland, rounded corners - Fuck that, no, there are no corners. They cut so many corners the game is a fucking sphere. They opened 3DS max and made a cube and hit "bevel edges" and called it a Pokemon. You want to know how that fucking penguin was made? At some point somebody modeled a penguin. Then they accidentally put a cube on top. Somebody laughed at the screen as a joke and they made it a Pokemon. I'm angry. I'm angry and sad. This is not what the series we have been supporting since the 90s deserves. Forget about me, forget about our fun - The fucking SERIES ITSELF deserves better. God fucking damn it. AMATEUR mistakes, shit that DOES NOT HAPPEN IN GAMES ANYMORE, were made in this gen. THE FUCKING CHARLIE'S ANGELS GAME, ON GAMECUBE, IS THE KIND OF QUALITY WE ARE BEING GIVEN.

EVERY SHADER, EVERY LIGHTING EFFECT, EVERY RENDERING PATH - IT'S ALL DEFAULT OUT OF THE BOX GARBAGE AND THEY ARE SELLING IT TO YOU FOR SIXTY DOLLARS. UNREAL ENGINE 4. GO DOWNLOAD IT, RIGHT THE FUCK NOW. CREATE A PLANE. GIVE IT A WATER MODIFIER. CREATE A LIGHT SOURCE. ADD A REFLECTION SHADER - A DEFAULT REFLECTION SHADER. CONGRATS YOU MADE POKEMON SWORD AND SHIELD'S WATER.

I didn't think we could hit new lows after USUM took the same game and somehow made it overall worse in favor of some shitty ass 'new' content that felt like them trying to pad out the release for this game with low effort, but god damn it each day before release yet something ELSE gets brought up that just makes this game lackluster.

I bet next game:
>Only Pokeballs, Great Balls, and Ultra Balls are buyable, you get limited amounts of the others via events and NPC hand outs. Oh wait...that's already an issue now isn't it?
>Gyms drop all pretense of challenge, just a single 'puzzle' that's just to waste your time and is impossible to screw up at, and 1-2 trainer fights before the leader fight. Oh no....

like 2 years ago i rekindled my flame for pokemon in a big way. i played through collosseum>xd>leafgreen>soulsilver>omegasapphire>platinum>ultramoon and have a casual white 2 file on my phone. i played x in 2014 and it was like the seeds that were planted for this rekindling.
i watched tons of the anime that i saw as a kid. i watched a lot of the movies. spent a lot of time on bulbapedia crafting each game to be my bros. i tried pokemon go for a month and had some fun. i even got the little bracelet that auto catches your pokemon. last year i tried to introduce my gf to pokemon with lets go pika. it half worked, she got to celadon city. i just kept thinking man all of this is building up to the epic switch game coming in 2019. i had my bros copied from my emulated games into pokemon bank and i was fucking READY i was READY for this game with all my bros the ultimate culmination of my pokemon fandom since being 10 years old in 1998 thinking it was destiny that i was the perfect age to buy red on release day
but now? i'm not ready. i'm just disappointed, and barely care. the dexit was one thing but the game looking like complete shit is simply not worth the money. unironically paying for a few months of world of warcraft seems like a better investment. maybe i'll buy it eventually. used or something. not sure. it makes me sad.

They knew it took you a long time. They ended it on a poignant note. In SWSH, you know what they do? Fucking europop trsash. Bouncy "everyone's friends!" fast paced "PLEASE LOVE THE GAME" music.

One of the things that absolutely blows my mind when I think about these games is how much better the Pokemon mobile scene is going to be a few months from now. Pokemon Go is already close to having more Pokemon than SwSh (worse animations but you can use your Bros in any raid) and Pokemon Masters is actually set on fixing its mistakes after the intense feedback they received with the release. A gacha is getting more thought put into it than SwSh ever did and it's just impressive for all the wrong reasons.

Well, I have many good memories of pokemon. I began playing pokemon when pokemon red and blue were released in Australia. I found the games very addictive, there was so much to do, so many different pokemon, and teams to build, and stuff like that... I was young, I didn't fully understand the game and everything, but I loved it. I loved the adventure aspects. I loved the NPCs that had interesting philosophical things to say and share, I loved the wisdom in the games, I loved the curious insights and opinions, I loved the whimsical meditations on the past, the present, and the future, on adventure, and companionship, and self-fulfillment.

I loved the creativity involved in the pokemon designs and the excitement of finding new pokemon in each new game. I loved Gen 2 for the comfy day and night cycle... I loved the music! I loved gen 3 for the berries and the hidden places we could build our bases, that was the last gen I played pokemon with irl friends... I loved gen 4 mostly for HGSS and how we had pokemon following us, it made me dream of what a really good pokemon game on a console could be like (fuck masuda, fuck ishihara, useless selfish myopic cunts!). I loved platinum for the weirdness and just how neat it all felt together... Gen 5 was difficult for me. I really didn't like the graphics, they seemed kinda ugly to me, not as neat and precise and aesthetic as the previous gen 4. Buuut a lot of people loved gen 5 and thought it was the best gen ever. I saw positives but also negatives. I didn't like how gamefreak had, by gen 5, shown that they weren't interested in making a game with the best aspects of each game, e.g. day night cycle, pokemon following, seasons, etc. I began to lose faith during gen 5. The next gens are just a blur. I appreciated some aspects of x & y but ultimately it felt like a downgrade... ORAS were a huge disappointment to me and it still hurts. Sun & Moon were awful IMO, gimmicky. SHSW are awful. I'll miss the good times anons

Dude, I've lost star wars, elder scrolls, anything touched by ea, anything touched by Activision/blizzard, and now Pokemon. It's not that I don't have other non nerd hobbies, but my nerd hobbies are trashed

>It's late November 2000, it's raining and I'm playing my Silver edition in my room
>In 6 Months my Dad will have moved on from passive aggressive name calling to screaming and humiliating me in front of his girlfriend no less. Of course, I do not know this.
>I also do not know that in 8 months, I'll beg my mom to never send me back to my Dad's because I am now seriously afraid that he's going to start beating me.
>In 10 Months, because my mom has custody, my Dad discovers there is nothing he can do to get me to come back over to his house, he calls me up and asks me 'If I am abandoning him'
>But that does not matter right now, right now I just caught a Vulpix in Silver, the last component I need for my planned team to fight the Elite 4 with.
>I spend countless hours in Ruins of Alph trying to figure out what it's big secret was. If there was any, my mind is too puny to process it.
>Silver holds me together for the most part during the long tribulation in my family
>Discover that R/S will not let me xfer my Pokemon, so I drop the series
>Gen 5 pops out, find out you can transfer from Gen 4, which in turn allows me to transfer from Gen 3.
>Decide to give the series another shot, maybe there was limitations on how the hardware between GB and GBA could communicate.
>Fast forward to now
>My sister is trying to get me to talk to my Dad. I feel bad for her, because my fear of him as an adult overrides any other logical or emotional response
>I can't deal with her right now, lets see how the next Pokemon games are going to pan out to distract me
>Masuda broke the tacit promise, worse then that, he won't even let me just catch all the Pokemon I wanted to xfer, they got caught completely.
So here I am, a mix of rage, sorrow, and retardation, and very upset that I ever gave this franchise a second chance.

The fuck do you have to feel bad for? Call your dad, tell him if he wanted a father and son relationship with you that he should have actually acted like a father, call him a cunt and then hang up before he can respond.

Ding Dang Done.

Pokemon's been with me for a lot of my life. It might be melodramatic, but the entire state of S/S makes me genuinely angry inside, and just a tad bit sad. I was let down by Kalos and Alola, but at least those games had a few saving graces to distract from constant cutscenes and shitty writing. This has nothing, and I can't even use more than half my favorites. Pour one out for Banette, Azumarill and Crobat.

Honestly, I think people just dont want to admit that one of the biggest things theyre into since childhood has gone to shit.
It's this. Denial always rules until nobody can stand it anymore. Games in general have completely gone to shit.

Pokemon released back in as DLC packs would be a new low, but it wouldn't really surprise me, either.

shit feels empty, doesn't it? This game. My heart. There are all the other games, and there will be new things to play down the line. But Pokemon won't be the same ever again, it's as though the franchise died on the mediocre note that was USUM.

It just feels like shit.

At least Sonic Team fucking cares

Even at their worst, they still care about making the fans happy.

Besides, game freak will never release a game as ambitious as the adventures, unleashed and generations were for their time

No seriously, somebody tell me why unleashed is still one of the prettiest games of all time

If my favorite sports team suddenly took a year off, my friends and I would be upset not because it's literally all we have in common, but because an activity were looking forward to experience together is no longer on the table. My friends and my family have many activities and experiences to share together, but that doesn't mean we can't also be disappointed that one of the more exciting ones shit the bed. Why are you so upset that other people are upset?

After playing these games and loving Pokemon for over twenty years, it truly, truly breaks my heart to see it devolve into this thing, this cheaply made product aiming to obtain the highest amount of income by minimally investing anything to it.

For the past few days I've been trying to let go Pokemon as a franchise. But it's quite hard when you've been attached to it since you first turned on a game boy color, with it being your first video console. All i ever wanted was a good and wholesome Pokemon game and experience. Am I asking too much?
