>a few minor graphical glitches are enough to cause such massive backlash that Gamefreak has to release a public apology over it

>meanwhile, SwSh removes old Pokemon to sell back to you as DLC, forcing you to pay 3x the cost of the old games for the same amount of content, and it STILL has dickriders defending it to this day

So slightly incompetent programmers = massively negative fan reception

But actively malicious and predatory monetization = massively positive fan reception

Because SV had the misfortune of being AFTER SwShit. SwShit was such garbage that SwShill’s only defense was to throw other games under the bus to make SwShit look better. Real fans who were righteously upset were harrasses, gaslit, and slandered by SwShills for three years. All the justified anger real fans had for SwShit but were unable to express ended up is unfairly loaded onto SV.

because it’s not just the sheer amount of graphical glitches, it’s the framerate as well as raid battles being janky as fuck for a while and that glitch where multiplayer battles would have the same RNG every time
in addition to raids in general being janky there were also the glitched items during certain raid events

If you only brought the 3rd versions only yeah 40 > 80/90
The Pokemon are in the patch that applys the dlc after that its up to you how to get them, If you only use legit methods which no one does you'd have to pay some money for,
Another game to move them.
HOME.
Internet to trade.
Own a phone with wonder trade i dunno if there is money needed on that method
>But actively malicious and predatory monetization = massively positive fan reception
Across all boards
tl:dr Buy a Switch V1, Setup up your injected software, Enjoy it all for free.

You don't have to pay for Home to use the GTS or Wonder Box. You only have to pay if you want to store your collection in it.

Yes, the former is 1000x times worse.

As opposed to past games, where you simply couldn't catch them at all and had to transfer them from a completely different game.

It's a bait thread. He's pretending that he believes you have to pay to transfer pokemon from the IoA/CT dexes. He is also pretending that he doesn't know SV has the exact same DLC model.

The raids are also free, dumbfuck. It's actually MORE generous than previous games. Unless you want to tell me where the fuck I can find Pikachu in Black and White.

That's not even the earliest instance of Game Freak leaving out Pokémon you'd expect to be somewhere in the game. Tangela was completely absent from Diamond and Pearl. All other crossgen lines had some way of getting the evolution by catching one of the Pokémon in the game, except Tangela. They literally added a new evolution for a Pokémon that didn't even exist in fucking Sinnoh. Thank god for Platinum.

Pikachu is different, though. It's the fucking mascot. I remember when they announced BW would have only new mons in the regional dex but would have old ones in the post-game. For me, it just went without saying that Pikachu would be one of the old ones. In fact, all this time, I just assumed it got added to the Unova dex in BW2 just like Psyduck, and I just hadn't encountered it because I hadn't finished that game.
Similarly, I assumed Tangela would be in DP as a dongle pokemon if nothing else. How fucking bizarre that so many Sinnoh pokemon aren't even in the regional dex. It really is Johto 2.

You had to do this for past games are you retarded? No actually, are you? Or are you such a fetus that you can’t remember when you couldn’t even get all the Pokémon in RSE until FRLG came out? Or the fact that you had to complete the Hoenn Pokédex 3 seperate times to get all the Johto starters? Fuck you’re dumb. Fans that joined around Gen 6-7 are the dumbest of fucks. The series has always made you HAVE to buy other games/peripheries to complete the Pokédex. Actually kill yourself.

The backlash was tiny, though. If it was massive something would've been fixed.

Anyone who has actually played the game knows the glitches in OP's pic are fake. I'm not gonna ignore and defend the actual technical issues, but I'm fucking fed up with the hysterical Pokemon fanbase and their constant need to seethe and spread narratives about the franchise.

Pretty much anyone that isn't a complete retard agrees that S/V are way better games than SwSh.
That was the consensus here too, unless this somehow changed recently.

In terms of gameplay and mechanics, the actually most important aspects, S/V are arguably the best games in the entire franchise.
People who call them "the worst pokemon games ever made" just because they're technical messes, simply don't understand what makes a Pokemon game good.

That said I really dont think that the current DLC model is worst than what we had in the past. At least the game you bought eventually becomes a complete game, you don't have to buy another version that you'll have to play from the start again, with barely any significant changes. And physical versions of the Switch games were easy to find new for $45.

You think people went "I'm not buying another Pokemon game unless it's better than G/S" and waited 20 years until SwSh?

I've yet to encounter a single glitch in SV. The worst it's gotten is slowdown in the forest area, but it's a Switch game and they're all optimized like shit. Where are these glitches even coming from?

They are all on the online mode and on emulators with nothing optimized.

These are also a flaw of SV...
