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

[Two Dollars]

Since Genius Sonority and Trigger's PC were mentioned, is there a way to transfer(not gen) pokemon from Gen 4 saves or carts over to Pokemon Battle Revolution on Dolphin? I Heard that game is notoriously unfun with just the rental pokemon and I always wanted to try out my Platinum/Heart Gold pokemon in Battle Mode/Stadium like game.
Cheating pokemon in doesn't sound like fun, I want to do it with my bros if possible.

Kind of? I think PKHeX lets you export individual Pokemon from a mainline game then import them into a Battle Revolution save. But if you’re asking about actually connecting Dolphin to a real/emulated DS, then no.

became my favorite in the series

Favorite in the core series. Explorers of Sky in the Mystery Dungeon series is good.

So there's a Van Gogh museum event with exclusive merchandise, and who thought it was a good idea to send Pokemon consoomers to an art museum? The collabs with zoos and aquariums sound better, rowdy kids and manchildren are part and parcel of those locations.

It’s not the first museum event they’ve done.

Koffing's trollface makes it even better lol

The whole Van Goh collab is more proof that Pokémon being a "Lifestyle brand" rather than a video game franchise has been a disaster for the IP as a whole. These soy golems make Disney Adults look well mannered by comparison.

If I understand correctly, that copies(clones) my pokemon without it being "deposited" into the game, which isn't the same thing. I'm not familiar with PBR but there might be ribbons and other changes made to pokemon who do well, so I wanted to transfer them as legit as I can without the actual hardware.
Oh well, I guess that will have to do. I will have to find a homebrew app to take saves from my DS carts first.

I remember when real world events were relegated to places like Gamestop, and all you did there was take your console and get a new pokemon, now I think you just get cards with codes or just do it over wi fi from home. Nice and easy, no pushing in any case.
Whose bright idea was it to indulge consoomers in a museum?

 

[Anonitolia]

That was a dead giveaway. It was relatively subtle and innocuous on its own (at best it was charitably boring), but absolutely a harbinger of things to come, and boy did the queers cum--ALL over the fucking game. The series is in such a sad damn state, westernized and woke. It's a tragedy.

Oh come on, of all the things to focus on with this series why this?

It is ridiculously pedantic and overblown to call Pokémon "woke" now. It's the equivalent of saying it's literally as bad as that garbage He-Man reboot for the single "non-binary Pokémon" letter an NoA representative replied to like 4 years ago. Nothing ever came of that, nothing will ever come of it, and it's diluting your valid points to call Pokémon "woke and westernized" for having garbage character designs.

Are the trainer designs in SV tragedies? Absolutely, they are distractingly ugly and I hate the muscle-women and adult "students" in particular. Is SV somewhat westernized in that it is targeting a more western demographic? Absolutely, it's a monolithic brand attempting to appeal to one of (if not) its largest markets. I'm pretty sure that's the only reason that there are black people included semi-prominently anywhere after Unova or Alola. It'd be stupid for it not to take western sensibilities into account.

But there has been no gender-related shit outside of the typical Japanese androgyny. No nonbinary/"queer" rep. Not a single hint of race-related bashing or obnoxious idpol preaching. The only thing the alphabet crowd have to cling onto with these games is an extremely convoluted and likely nonexistent gay romance plot between a mentor and student (the whole Applin thing) and the fact that the protagonist designs are so incredibly boring that people are praising them for "erasing gender boundaries" by copy-pasting a character model twice.

The queers have only "cum all over the fucking game" because Pokémon's fanbase itself has gotten increasingly gayer as older fans have left the franchise and newer fans have only stuck around because they enjoy choking on both corporate and homosexual dick whenever they're given the opportunity.

It is ridiculously pedantic and overblown to call Pokémon "woke" now.

I saw the writing on the wall years back, the slope is as slippery as ever. I was just surprised it took as long as it did from there to where we are now. But if you don't think it'll get even worse then you're delusional.

Pokemon is definitely woke now. Could it be more overt? Yep, and I assure you it will (as if hopping on the gender erasure bandwagon isn't enough already; I will forever reject the "body types 1 & 2" sort of bullshit infecting games).

 

[30+GameOvers]

So, regarding the "wokeness" of pokemon, I think I will let this image speak for itself.

Expect it to get worse, Pokemon is now fully part of the ESG initiative and all the other SJW woke nonsense. If the JPN branch of the company doesn't care for it as much as the USA side of it does, then they're staying silent, and WILL continue to stay silent. Japanese culture isn't big on making a big fuss, more so on staying silent and dealing with things as they come.
Not like better looking models would fix a shitty game anyways, so no worries from me there. I am just doubling in laughter that the USA based regions(Orre, Unova, Alola) are still whites than Euro based ones(Kalos, Galar, Paldea)

>hurr durr this one NPC from a 10 year old game who made a single offhanded comment about transitioning as well as the two minor things I mentioned before means Pokémon is now woke
retarded beyond belief

I don't disagree that this "wokeness" will probably get worse as this ideology becomes more prominent and extreme in everyday society. Unfortunately, you are conflating a hypothetical future with a more moderate now, insisting that because of 4 very minor instances spread across A DECADE'S WORTH of games in one of the most frequently-flogged and constantly-released series in video game history, this entire series is now tainted by social justice lecturing and proselytizing- which is just not fucking true.

So, regarding the "wokeness" of pokemon, I think I will let this image speak for itself.

What point is this image even trying to make? That SV's characters look like shit? Again, all this brings up is that SV's character models are ASS-ugly. Muscle girls =/= trans representation, especially not in the western sense where nobody ever shuts the fuck up about it, and you'd have to be seriously brain-rotted to think otherwise.

I agree that Pokémon is sliding more towards western pandering. I agree that the series used to look objectively better. But claiming that it's fully "gone woke" is histrionic and ridiculous at this point. Call me when there's an enby monstrosity as a prominent side character and maybe then I'll agree.

Merrick from Serebii is coping by saying it's scalpers, not real fans. Fact still is that they did something related to Pokemon and a huge horde of retards showed up.

 

[30+GameOvers]

I will never get why people damage control this shitty franchise so much.
Like, bro, this is baby's first JRPG, let it go. It's dead and shit now, only trannies and soyboy faggots play the newer games(from what I am seeing)
SwSh was the wake up call for anyone with a brain that could see the writing on the wall where this franchise was heading. I don't know what else to tell you if you're going to write paragraphs defending SV of all games, which makes SwSh look good in comparison

Moderate by what standard? This shit is woke as fuck and only someone oblivious doesn't realize the "moderate" now is yesterday's woke, the Overton window has shifted further left, that is the only reason it seems at all "moderate".

 

[30+GameOvers]

I mean, I got more images. I could post these all day, but I'm not sure what that would accomplish.

Japanese don't like this one bit and that should tell you everything you need to know, since they're still the core part of the fanbase. The only people who defend this in anyway are part of the problem.
I will die on the hill that Dexit ruined the franchise, and I can affirm my believes because the same people who defended Dexit or cried that "it wasn't a big deal" are now bending over backwards to deflect any and all criticism aimed at Scarlet Violet or Gamefreak.
Definitely the worst, and least stable community in gaming, period(at least the western side of it). /vp/ isn't even fun to raid anymore like back in Let's Go/Sword and Shield days since there is nothing to look forward to or any positives to the game itself, it's just trannies having mental breakdowns when you point out basic flaws with the game. Forget the political side of things, modern GF fanboys are mentally ill/retarded menchildren that shouldn't have an access to their bank account and might even have to have a handler assigned to them.
Case and point? Everyone's favorite Pokemon related lolcow, PL/PreciousLeaf, a stunning and brave example of a western Pokemon fan. He has his own thread here btw

>tries to prove that it's not moderate
>by posting a comic from a known extremist
are you actually trying or are you just baiting at this point

If you consider this "woke as fuck", you have seen nothing and I envy you
It might be woke as fuck for weebshit- I can't comment on that front because Pokémon is the closest thing to weebshit I indulge in- but in western terms, this is some of the most normal media has been in a while. Lest we forget about TLOU2's wonderful gay romance? Or Starfield's gay niggers in space?

I don't even disagree with you faggots, I'm just saying you're blowing things way out of proportion and it is ridiculous to put Pokémon Scarlet and Violet in the same category as [insert literally any AAA game made in the last 6 years] because it has muscle women and bad character designs. Almost every "virtue signal" in them can be chalked up to sheer incompetence (a known track record of bad 3D models, bland protagonist designs since character customization was introduced, and repetition of trainer class to make up for the lack of new ones since around the same time- all of which are just being exaggerated, not just coming around as part of a "woke infection").

Half of these pictures are identical to the first compilation you posted and the only vague point you might have in terms of "queer pandering" is still the character customization that I already mentioned.
Most of these are just ugly character designs (Tulip and Geeta are notable for having been drawn in a completely fucking different art style but modelled into the game the same way as every single other NPC, making them stand out as ugly much more- see also, the entire Aether Foundation). I agree that it's dog shit and I don't like it myself, but it is in no way "pandering to gays" by looking ugly. This is conspiracy-level thinking- which I expect from the Farms, but usually people here are at least somewhat rational enough to concede when they're getting hyperbolic or able to explain their points clearly if not. All you've done is throw the same couple images at me which prove nothing more than GF's already well-known incompetence.

 

[30+GameOvers]

Look dude, I'm not reading all that, but I'm happy for you. Or sad that it happened, whatever
All I'm going to say is that I likely seen the exact same points you likely made a thousand times from confirmed redditors and twitter/X users with pronouns in their bio.
Also, I will definitely listen more to what a core member of the audience(Japanese) have to say over what a western "fan" will unless they have proven they actually played the games for any amount of time(which I am having my doubts over, reading this thread)

At the end of the day, all that sperging amounts to nothing because Scarlet Violet are shit games that cannot be fixed and you will buy the new 35$ DLC anyways, no need to even hide it. As long as that's the case, GF already has your money and doesn't care what you think, they will make the next game shittier and even more woke and you will buy it again anyways(and defend it, too)

 

[Sneak 'n' Snore]

I feel a shift within Pokemon but not a particularly strong one when it comes to "wokeness".
For starters, Attratct still only works on the opposite gender.

It's fitting they aren't pictured here but Japan adores Rika and Larry and even ships them together, much to the annoyane of the western part of the fanbase.
Some character designs have a plain ugly base but a lot also just suffer under the ugly in-game art direction.

Larry is the everyman who is both a gym leader and elite four member, right?
I think he might be the only character I even remotely liked. Rika is also in the elite four, from what I remember but like most elite four, she doesn't really have any character. I am guessing she is the least ugly looking female in that game.
Honestly, I can't even be bothered to pay attention to this shitheap much anymore, the Werster stream I watched at launch just drained me(as it did him). I only lurk the thread and other places so I can troll /vp/ more efficiently these days

I like how you immediately assume I'm paying for the games when I've spent the last 20+ pages lamenting their existence and bashing pretty much anything new in the franchise lol, it really helps your point

It's also beyond stupid to use the Japanese equivalent of 4chan as examples of "core fans" right before going on to imply they have played the games for any significant amount of time. Every single shot shown in that image is from the trailers- there is absolutely no guarantee that these people play the games any more than /vp/ or anyone here does.
