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

[Disc]

Haven't played a Pokemon game since gen 3 but I've been playing through Platinum recently for the first time and...its not so good. The basic gameplay loop is the same which is still enjoyable but something just doesn't click, maybe all the little annoyances are adding up to a bad experience. There are way too many HMs and exploring the map is more annoying than previous generations. Doesn't feel like they added anything of substance other than a bunch of pointless side activities I couldn't care less about. The new Pokemon designs all feel uninspired and lame (though maybe thats my nostalgia talking).

I just got done with the Ice gym and was close to giving up completely on this game. Every battle in this area has an ice storm which adds bullshit time to every battle, there are snowy pits which slow you way down when walking and I had to fuck around trying to get a new HM slave because I already taught 4 moves to my other one by this point, all so I could climb some rocks to talk to my idiot rival. Give me a fucking break.

Do Gen 5+ games improve or am I better off just replaying Crystal from here on out.

I mean, it's only got 1 more HM than crystal.

If your issues are 'too many hms' and 'exploring is annoying' Gen 5 does change some things. It reduces the total number of HMs, and makes the number needed to progress through the main story a lot smaller (though you do still have side areas you'll need the hms for). Not counting fly, Black and White only need 1 and Black2White2 only need 2.

From Gen 7 onwards, they change it to not need HMs at all though.

No but it implies Ash is a cuck baby

Cool copypasta, but you need yourself a Jynx girlfriend with whom you can get into a sassy slapfight with.

The official one. Wait Theres a fan made one?

 

[Love Machine]

Cyrus is absolutly based and redpilled. He is my mensch, and I would help him achieve his goals any day.

Yeah, Pokémon: The Mew-sical. It was a college project, and it's honestly fun. Good way to kill time with some pretty good songs and a funny Giovanni.

Whelp I finished it... I now hate the franchise

 

[ToroidalBoat]

I recently played Colosseum on my old Wii.

It's kind of hard for me to think of it as a "retro" game.

I am only interested in Pokémon Live! because one: it was the production that got Jay Goede, the voice of Mewtwo, to leave 4KIDS because they accidentally(?) broke his contract by printing his real name instead of his alias, Philip Bartlett. And two: "It Will All Be Mine" is unironically a song I like because it's Darren Dunstan, the man who later went on to voice Maximillion Pegasus and Splinter in TMNT 2003. He's glorious.

But I haven't sat down to watch it because I honestly don't know if I'll really be able to sit through it, just lived vicariously through the Team Rocket's Rockin' page on it.

I don't want to watch that musical but I do find it fascinating in the sense it's a relic of a different time that wouldn't happen in this day and age. There's videogame movies and videogame netflix original series but can you imagine them making a videogame musical these days?

 

[Creep3r]

Really wish there was a half agree reaction. Team Galactic is a joke, in terms of the grunts and admins, but Cyrus is a scary dude.

I usually use the Thoughtful rating when I'm stuck in the middle. Gen 4 for me was a very mixed bag all around. Team Galactic had so much potential what with them having their goals set the highest of any villain team, ie destroying the universe and turning Cyrus into a soulless god, but outside of Cyrus and Mars, they're sort of fucking goofy. You'd expect these guys to have some sort of cult mentality or robotic mindset akin to brainwashing. Then again this also seemed to be a problem with even the Team Plasma grunts to a degree who were hardly dedicated to the actual cause of their team, but then again it sort of fits with Ghetsis' two faced intent. Team Flare was fucking retarded though on every level right up to their retarded boss.

He's my favorite team boss but why are they even supporting him?

"hey guys I'm an emotionless psychopath with no eyebrows and I'm gonna destroy the universe wanna help"
"fuck yeah I wanna die gimme a bidoof"

This in a nutshell.

No but it implies Ash is a cuck baby

Giovanni is his dad iirc right? Haven't seen it in years.

Wait Pegasus and Jame's american VA also voiced splinter in 2k3... I cant believe I didnt know that. Was he also in Berserk as well because a lot of people who worked on the berserk dub were 4kids regulars. Anyways the best/worst part about the musical is that they actually fucking tried to make it good rather than a cheap cash in

Short Pokemon Masters Update:

James with his Weezing are now playable

Also, I wanted to share this exchange I had with Grimsley:

Sadly, no. I don't know when the Berserk dub was made, but he was literally hired on by 4KIDS to be Giovanni for the stage musical, but they loved him so much they kept him on the team as a regular, and Yu-Gi-Oh! was coming right around the corner.

Anyways the best/worst part about the musical is that they actually fucking tried to make it good rather than a cheap cash in.

4KIDS rarely cut corners in their productions. There's kind of a reason they went bankrupt eventually, they were too carefree about their finances, but they were attentive to quality (at least for their golden geese).
