Pokémon (Not-So) Griefing Thread - Scarlet and Violet Released with 10 Million Copies in First 3 Days in Buggy States

[Neurotypical Mantis]

Is this a reference to the Black and White 3 fan-sequel hack of Pokémon Crystal?

no but that sounds cool. i'm more talking about how let's go managed to be extremely disappointing and then bdsp even more so

 

[Howling Janny Dog]

I honestly can't imagine how a BW remake would turn out after BDSP. At this point I doubt it'll even happen.

 

[TVB]

That's a stupid idea lmfao

Fuck you, Mawile deserves an Evolution.

Both of you are sick

BDSP sold extremely well despite being shit. There's no reason for them not to want a Unova remake. I sincerely think all of the games will be remade, it's just a matter of time. In twenty years or so we'll be seeing a Scarlet and Violet remake, mark my words.

Fine, Sableye can have an evolution too. Geez. I just like the idea of a hyper offense steel/fairy type so I don't have to settle for stall tactics on a prankster Klefki. Toxic stalling my way through Pokemon Y was only fun once.

Catgirl vore fetishist? Opinion discarded.

Chibi Ghetsis, no postgame and the removal of the "Gym leaders last pokemon" theme will happen

I still say that any Mega for any not already 3 stage evolution (Mawile, Banette, Camerupt, etc) should have just been a cross generation evolution like the ones we got in Gen 4 (Rhyperior, Magmortar, etc). Give them less potent abilities and they work out fine and it would have still breathed new life into older forgotten mons.

They could make some of the Pokemon who desperately need their megas to be relevant at all like Beedrill be the only 4 stage Pokemon evo lines if they really don't want the gimmick to return. Though I feel like of all the gimmicks this series has had, Mega Evolution is the only one that really should have stayed and was a net benefit versus a clear flashy generational gimmick like Z-Moves or Dynamax.

I still think Gamefreak panicked in gen 6 because that's the first generation where they started cutting content a lot. Eternal Floette and the Zygarde moves are the first hints, and you can't tell me that the mythical Pokemon Z wasn't going to have mega evolutions for all the Kalos starters. We could also look at the intentionally incomplete Battle Frontier.

Gotta keep the "low on HP" theme tho amirite

It wasn't directed at you, I meant it as a form of agreement towards the other guy

Dynamax was possibly the most stupid one.

For the whole battle. Also castelia city will have weird camera angles, bugs (but not the bugs from the 3rd gym) and random freezes, you also cant enter half of the buildings you could in the originals because of lIMitEd cApAciTy. Poke star studio will be mandatory and three hours long.

The starters will be replaced by the elemental monkeys.

The N's castle cutscene will be replaced with blackscreen and a plain white textbox that says: "A giant castle emerged from the ground."

I remember being mildly peeved that you can only access certain floors of the buildings back when I first played BW. Then again it was (probably) the first time Pokemon games had buildings over ten stories high.

The starters will be replaced by the elemental monkeys.

Them and Watchog have got to be the most irrelevant Pokemon in the entire roster at this point.

 

[Thiletonomics]

It's very telling that those lines are the only ones that haven't appeared in a Nintendo Switch mainline game yet.

 

[AnotherPleb]

Them and Watchog have got to be the most irrelevant Pokemon in the entire roster at this point.

The only way to make Watchog relevant is to give it an evolution. You have Lillipup and Watchog 's prevo in the same route yet Lillipup has the far better line.

Inb4 said evolution is not only a regional variant exclusive but also somehow manages to be worse than the one it's based off.

At this point I just want them to make it fun in the same region. Obstagoon wasn't going to blow up higher tiers but I still enjoyed using it in-game.

 

[Squawking Macaw]

Game Freak are being very unsubtle about their hints toward a Unova remake, the "Hoenn remakes confirmed!!!1!!1!11!!!" people must've gotten to them. As a massive Unova sperg, I still have some hope, but the PS2-era glitchfests they're shitting out have me worried.

Imagine waiting 13 years to finally see what the original Kyurem looks like and they proudly present a faithful remaster.

 

[Wingnut]

Dynamax was possibly the most stupid one.

I completely agree, Z-Moves and Tera feel more in-line with what a battle mechanic should be because they're more subtle and less overbearing in general. It's telling that even on Pokemon Showdown Dynamax was the only 100% banned mechanic of all the gimmicks. OP Megas went to Ubers, Z crystals were a staple item on half the roster, and Tera is a solid (an IMO fun to work with) mechanic in gen 9 despite the min-max stat Pokemon fucking up the balance.
