Maybe joe just needs his own thread at this point.

We have a general Polemon lolcow thread in Community Watch. Probably just post his drama there instead of making a new thread. Also he has a huge history of drama that is very old and most likely nuked from the internet. The only way to retrieve it would be to comb through archives from many years ago or ask people who know his history. The latter os obviously a terrible idea.

So in news as far as the model it turns out that Clefairy had two more triangles in it's model. GAME FREAK DIDN'T LIE TO US! Reviews are dropping..... NOW.

 

[Buttigieg2020]

To nobody’s surprise, game journalists like that the game is brain dead easy and straightforward.

I just checked, and it seems Black and White 2 were the worst reviewed mainline games. Game journalists man...

This dude is legit exceptional as hell. All he's accomplishing by doing this is wasting money and proving the detractors point by being what they claim the defenders of this game are: Mindless Nintendrones. No one cares if you're going to buy the game anyway, especially if your buying 10 or more copies that you probably aren't going to use.

I laughed so hard I fucking snorted coffee all over my desk, jesus christ the delusion is off the charts.

"But the first mainline game on the Switch has changed that: though there is still no “perfect Pokemon game,” the 40-plus hours I’ve spent with Sword and Shield have left me comfortable with calling them the best Pokemon games I have ever played – and I’ve played ‘em all." IGN 9.3/10

"In collecting, battling, and exploring, Sword and Shield cut out the bloat and focus on what makes these pillars of the Pokemon games so captivating in the first place. You're not held back by overly complicated back-end systems or hoops to jump through; from the outset, you can start wandering the Galar region, seeing its new Pokemon, and trying out its new battle strategies with very little in your way. This leaves you free to enjoy what Pokemon is all about, and that makes for an incredibly strong showing for the series' proper debut on Switch." Gamespot 9/10

Same reviewer at Gamespot, fascinating sweetheart.

Did it sting?

 

[Dr. Geronimo]

I guess Hideo should have paid IGN more money. I wish I had someone that sucked my dick as hard as IGN does.

 

[Perspicacity]

Did it sting?

It burned a little but opened up my sinuses so I'm happy about it. I have an annoying cold.

Posting this here. Someone with insider information is explaining how GF will try and cover their asses:

Wow are you kidding me? Any software developer worth their salt would have some kind of version control in place to determine which builds are stable and when something fucks up. I guess not Gamefreak though.

Everybody loves taking a shit on IGN until it's their game on the chopping block. Fuck anyone who uses positive website scores to gloat about how "good SWSH is, they're dishonest hacks.

Too be fair, good or bad, people piss and moan about IGN, no matter the game.

They always find a way.

Here's a review from GameXplain's Derrick.

TLDW; he "liked" the game and not "loved' it. His criticisms seem to be consistent with what others have said about it being too short and barebones for those who prefer the single player experience.

I assume these guys are reviewing the rom?

Just curious since review copies were held back, right?

 

[Gar For Archer]

Review by Nintendo Life seems to mirror those sentiments, i.e. it’s a decent game but certainly not without its issues.

I'm not entirely sure. I was under the impression that they have a good working relationship with Nintendo.

 

[Ido]

Guys I dont think we have to worry about this gen because even if they dont fix it in the sequels Dyna Sword and Giga Shield, we can wait a decade or two for them to remake it! I'm sure by then ALL the models will be new, they'll have NATIONAL DEX, and they'll have LEARNT THEIR LESSON.

Lmfao, that remake is gonna be wild.

 

[X-Shaped Weeaboo]

Tl;dr "The source is from 4chan so es fake lmao"

Bitch

The game was leaked. It's out there. People have already got it working on emulators right now. This shouldn't even be a question, the Pokemon community has been doing this to the series for years.

There is no excuse or justification for this, the models are the exact same. That fight is over and you lost. No amount of conspiracy will change that.

What are these people, delusional?

Can't wait til shit hit the fan and people realize that post-game for any kind of competitive upgrade items is gonna be an absolutely massive grind wall. Get ready to 50 hours of Battletower and Pokemon raids.

We have to remember that this is a Japanese based company, not to sound racist or anything, but Japanese companies have a tendency not to care what their english speaking consumers think. And I know someone's gonna point out how the Japanese consumer base is acting, but we also need to remember how GF/Nintendo/PKMC have been acting so far.

Granted, I'm the optimist here, but what we're looking at here is a bunch of people trying to hide from fallout using a refrigerator to have it blow over.

Honestly, at this point, best case scenario here?

This is a wake up call to all the companies involved in this. This is a legacy franchise at the moment, and while it hasn't gone the way of Star Wars (gonna expect some disagreement there), this is a dip in quality ever since the franchise moved to 3d for the mainline games.

What should be done is a total restructuring of Game Freak/TPKMC - And I'm not normally one to advocate that someone lose their job, but after a botched up job like this, someone needs to be fired. Granted, I'm not saying the developers or programmers, at least not until more info's out - Granted I think Junichi Masuda should step down (or forced) from his position of designer/director, and whoever decided to push the COD mindset onto pokemon.

On a side note, and a general question on design:

What would you guys expect a pokemon based on a Harpie to look like?

Thats what I am thinking, they knew this would happen, essentially being a game over for PR for this game, its why it all happened after the leaks
as for the whole "its a japan thing" they didn't even really make a public statement to the level they did in the west, I know they put out a tweet and a famitsu interview but they didnt talk about this in directs or anything, they were trying to sweep this under the rug
Hell they should of told people from when Gen 8 was announced publicly instead of trying to dodge the it as hard as possible
All of this would of been fine had they just stuck to two words "technical issues" and kept saying that. the more you talk the more easy it is to be caught in a lie.
as for harpies make the smt 4 guy design it if it loo and it will be diamonds.

Joe would just view that as another cross to bare and evidence he is being "harrassed"

Can you blame them? I cant after this

So then it will have the content amount of a normal game by then or somehow less?

Can't wait til shit hit the fan and people realize that post-game for any kind of competitive upgrade items is gonna be an absolutely massive grind wall. Get ready to 50 hours of Battletower and Pokemon raids.

that implies these people play for more then 5 hours
