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

[wtfNeedSignUp]

So there is a new Pokemon clone called Palworld and I think it's the best fucking idea for a game in this kind of setting (though it will likely suck)

It did not suck

Black and White's story was worse than people remember, imo. The whole "liberate Pokémon" moral dilemma, as shallow and flawed as it's shown to be, was a smokescreen for your standard megalomaniac villain who wants to use Pokémon (and his retarded son) as tools to take over. That's what their story focus amounted to, another 2d villain who wants to take over the world.

I don’t think gen v’s plot was ever supposed to be that deep. It was pretty obvious from the very first scene that Ghetsis was full of shit and nothing more than a 2D villain claiming to be for a good cause so he can take over the world. It took Ghetsis literally telling you his plan before you fight him for so many fans back in the day to realize that the story wasn’t going to be as deep as they were expecting. I remember fans being extremely hyped over gen v being more plot based compared to previous games only to feel angry and betrayed when it ended up not being what they hoped for. This is why people should never hype things up before they come out.

It was more plot focused. Just the plot was always ‘some people believe this so we’ll take advantage of them for world dominance’ and the story you play is essentially saving an ‘evil’ version of the player character. Which was honestly the best way to show the danger if Plasma and hammer that point

Your rivals and related characters go through development and growth because of this plot.

It was plot based. It was developed. It just wasn’t what they wanted.

Honestly, I think they wanted Pal World.

Your rivals and related characters go through development and growth because of this plot.

That was actually something I liked about the story, the older protagonist characters have a reason to be older. Both your rivals are going through a coming of age, Cheren is figuring out why he's chasing the goals he does and Bianca is figuring out what she wants to do. Seeing how they ended up in the sequel was nice.

When's the last time there even a good Pokemon game? The series is the epitome of just selling a brand to loyalist drones. Somehow worse than Disney tier shit. Still not as bad as Final Fantasy...

The Pokémon attack force continues. Almost everyone speaking against the game turns out to be a giant Nintendo fanboy with 800+ hours in the game, an artist making nsfw Pokémon art, or in this case an etsy artist selling bootleg Pokémon merchandize while calling the game a bootleg of Pokémon.

I never gonna play kick the autistic again as this faggots history on X (formerly known as twitter) gives me what a sensory overload has to feel like.

 

[AnotherPleb]

Did the game even show any reason why Lysandre wanted to kill all undesirables making the world ugly?

They would have given it a half-assed in Pokemon Z... But that game never happened. They noped the fuck out of Kalos HARD.

 

[Local Degenerate]

I still can't get over how people will sperg out over Arven like he's some great fucking character.

Dude is an insecure cunt who constantly lampreys onto people who hate him, badgers them into doing something, waits for them to do all the work, then sweeps in at the last second to claim all the credit, all while demanding you treat what he says as gospel, despite all evidence proving him wrong....

Guys, I think I figured out why X Twitter likes him.
Edit: Committed a sin of faggotry, please forgive.

Probably because his entire personal quest involves saving his sick and dying dog. It's hard not to sympathize with that.

Probably because his entire personal quest involves saving his sick and dying dog. It's hard not to sympathize with that.

First off, fuck that dog.

Second off, the dog wasn't sick. It was injured protecting his useless ass. And what's the first thing he does? Throws it right back into battle. I don't give a shit if 'it wanted to fight', you're the trainer, not him.

Third off, the half a sympathy point that got from me instantly evaporated when he shoved my clearly panicking pokemon off a fucking cliff so he could ride it down. The same one he had been shitting on the entire game, and continued to shit on from then onwards.

It was sort of sick. It had weird symptoms and not even the usual methods could heal it. I will admit that him immediately throwing it into a battle after it just got healed was eyebrow raising. But yeah, I don't find him all that great, but I just know a lot of people felt for him because of the dog is all. That and his miserable, almost parentless background.

Personally, I chalked that up to a combination of 'it's a serious injury, not just a normal battle boo-boo' and Gamefreak writing. But, fair points and well made.

I noticed (I might just be very autistic examining every part of this statement) but the wording in the header is using the plural form of possessive as it is a blanket statement saying if anyone is breaking our copyright don't worry about it we will look into it, and they seem to be implying calm down we know about other games but we don't think they're breaking any copyrights. They just released this statement that's just a blanket "we know please be quiet leave us alone" kind of statement if that makes sense. The way they worded it is ust a vague statement to what I assume it's a bunch of emails and other nonsense/ or their wording is very literal where they plan to sue every other creatures base game out there, which I highly doubt. Keep in mind I'm not a lawyer I'm only saying my opinion on this matter.

That is indeed a correct read.

That’s exactly what it is.

The way they worded it is ust a vague statement to what I assume it's a bunch of emails and other nonsense/ or their wording is very literal where they plan to sue every other creatures base game out there, which I highly doubt. Keep in mind I'm not a lawyer I'm only saying my opinion on this matter.

It’s very subtly clear via this statment that they are talking with Pocket Pair and are probably a bit annoyed they had to admit this publicly.

I remember fans being extremely hyped over gen v being more plot based compared to previous games only to feel angry and betrayed when it ended up not being what they hoped for. This is why people should never hype things up before they come out.

I had the opposite reaction, everything I read back then was gushing over how good the story was and I felt I was getting fucking gaslighted. It's why I quit Pokemon at the time and never got around playing BW2 to my pleasant surprise years later.

I still can't get over how people will sperg out over Arven like he's some great fucking character.

I agree that he isn't that deep of a character, but in all honesty the bar is VERY fucking low at this point.

It doesn't surprise me that he ended up that way in the least, given his Daddy/Mommy issues.

Did the game even show any reason why Lysandre wanted to kill all undesirables making the world ugly? Medieval Kalos had a war bad enough to merit the use of doomsday weapons, but the current day Kalos doesn't have glaring flaws that'd upset a whiny misanthrope so badly as far as I remember.

Too many nigger chimpouts at lumiose city.

 

[Squawking Macaw]

I think the base build and shoot cute things is tapping into a niche that Pokemon couldn’t fill even if they wanted to. And honestly Pal World is probably going to get people to look at the next Pokemon game that have not looked at one since 1998 if at all

Palworld's marketing hinged on being Pokemon with guns and slavery to be successful, but gameplay-wise there is nothing it did that Pokemon couldn't do. Obviously Game Freak will never let you shoot Pikachu or force it to work in a sweatshop, but building a base, gathering resources and travelling through an open world with the help of your Pokemon is not an outlandish concept. A lot of what Palworld did is what Legends Arceus tried to do but couldn't because GF were so afraid of going too far they didn't realize they didn't go far enough.

Gen 5 is really remembered with rose tinted glasses honestly. Or no one that remembers it remembers how much people bitched

I remember them being whiny bitches over the ice cream and garbage bag, yes.

Did the game even show any reason why Lysandre wanted to kill all undesirables making the world ugly? Medieval Kalos had a war bad enough to merit the use of doomsday weapons, but the current day Kalos doesn't have glaring flaws that'd upset a whiny misanthrope so badly as far as I remember. In such a sanitized world where the main gimmick was harnessing the power of friendship via Mega Evolution, he sounds like a raving lunatic.

The funniest thing about Lysandre for me is that everyone around him is too stupid to realize that the redhead who speaks like a supervillain every time he appears is in fact the leader of a villainous team of redheads. Also "kill all undesirables making the world ugly" is a funny way to put it given that it's his company that developed the Holo Caster you use throughout the game.

Pokémon has finally issued a statement.

How pathetic do these people have to be to defend Nintendo's copyright on their behalf? That statement is legalese for "calm down, we know and we don't care."
