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

[Massively Strong Greed]

It's also the only pokemon to have a harder catch rate than its evo

Gen V is great, fuck the contrarians on /vp/.

Yeah it is full of gen 1 and 2 fans now who act like RBY and GSC were super deep open world games. RBY was pretty much nothing but roadblocks the first half of the game.

I really didn’t like BW’s limited dex. I felt like all the really standout gen V creatures besides excadrill and Scolipede were too hard to find for that to work. Being stuck with the shit starters, monkeys, and woobat was a bummer.

BW2 was phenomenal though. The fact that it underperformed critically and financially is a tragedy.

 

[Neet Tokusatsu]

I like to browse /vp/ because of all the speds on it but at the same time I feel like I am having a stroke just doing so. I don’t get why they get pissed about gen V. I thought the place was full of Unovabortionists? Yet again I see people getting mad that gen v is getting a lot of praise lately. Same thing with gen iv.

That's... weird, i remember back then in the late 2000s on /v/, Pokemon was in what it could be considered it's golden age, HG and SS were just released and were widely considered the best remakes ever made, and everyone was hyped a fuck for B&W

> Holy shit we finally have fully animated sprites in battle!?
> Is Unova based on the US?, that so fucking cool!
> This gen has many good Dragon, Flying and Fighting Pokemon!

What happened? was /vp/ flooded with genwunners after the release of Pokemon LGPE?

Probably. Go played a big fat hand in the genwunner resurgence (only the Kanto mons were available for the first year or so), LG was just further "vindication." All the Kanto whoring even before then in X/Y and Sun/Moon didn't help either.

It took Charizard getting a third special form for more people than usual to take a step back and say "Okay this is too much."

HG, SS, and Platinum are some of, if not the best Pokemon main games. Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky were legit as well.

The DS days were a good time.

Gen V is great, fuck the contrarians on /vp/.

I replayed Black 2 earlier this year and thoroughly enjoyed it. I forgot how fun Gen V was.

I decided to look into the TemTem discord, and I think there's some quality lols to be extracted here.

1: They literally censor the word Pokemon. They're totally not afraid of lawsuits, though! (even the TemTem wiki literally uses the same templates as Bulbapedia for stat distribution).

2. They're constantly referring to TemTem types by their Pokemon names (for reference, the Types in question are called Water, Nature and Toxic in TemTem):

3. There's a luls-worthy number of people constantly dissing Pokemon while using Pokemon Avatars. Wy is an example of this.

A lot of it comes off less as interest in TemTem and more as jilted lovers, loudly snogging another guy to try and make their ex jealous. It's good shit.

Banning “the p word” would be funny for like five seconds before it gets annoying.

Reminds of this thing going between some of Hytale's fanbase and Minecraft.

The longer I play this game the more instances of lack of polish I find. Just now I noticed that even if your current party is all at lv. 100, you'll still have the EXP gain tab pop up every time an enemy's KO'd even though there's none to add. No past generation did this.

It's the nitpickiest of nitpicks it's true, but I sure do keep coming across a number of little moments like these...

Have you played any of the rom hacks? Blaze Black 2 is hard as balls, but a good time.

I was always told never to invest in anything out of spite, more often that not, it just leads to more spite. Anyone hear of that one Pokemon/Harvest moon game Ooblets? Yeah...

The one that got me over and over was sweet scent. The trainer would pop back in view before the camera moved back into position every time. Super distracting.

What's a good way to play Rom Hacks? Everything I've tried messes with textures and the like.

As for Ooblets, I only remember hearing about them when they went Epic Exclusive and were shitlords about the whole thing. Then they vanished off the radar again.

Best way I've done it is with xDelta.

If that doesn't work, here's a good way to go about it: http://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Apply_ROM_Hacks_and_Translations

Sometimes though you can find the rom hacks already applied to game.

I actually haven’t played any rom hacks but definitely want to! I just have a Mac with a limited space, which makes it kind of difficult.

I checked the discord just this morning and they we're worshipping the devs for adding they/them pronouns. This game is gonna be poor and have mods on the level of old Warframe, isn't it?

I'm not opposed for games to have that option, since, hey, options are never a bad thing. But seriously, it's not that big of a deal.

I'm more worried when they start to include things like xim or xer.

Maybe look into a portable hard-drive to keep those games on there? That's what I usually do.

I'm not 100% certain, but I think it has to do this in order to still pass out EVs to all pokemon. In previous games (not sure when it was fixed) but level 100 pokemon could not get new EVs because of this.

It has gotten to the point where even slightly criticizing Gen 1 on /vp/ causes people to fly off the handle and call you stupid. Granted it is all trolling but I wouldn't be surprised if there were people on /vp/ who genuinely believe RBY were epic classics that require a high IQ to appreciate and understand. Yet again every generation is equally guilty of having such fanboys so who knows.

I give TemTem 6 months at best before it shuts down.
