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

least favorite types: fighting and fire

I'd be more inclined to like the Fighting type if it had more than 2 viable Special Moves and there were more Special focused Fighting types. Focus Blast is really the only widely distributed Special fighting move, and it's both bad and almost purely to give coverage options. Heck, even just a widely distributed Fighting type equivalent of Psystrike that's based off Physical attack but hits Special Defense would be an improvement.

I was watching vids related to Legends of Arceus particularly because Vinny livestreams the game and I really had to share this argument, the chad OP said something that a few bunch of kiddies didn't like so now he's gotten into an endless debate, the comment is currently standing near 400 replies.

I would probably screenshot the whole thread with Firefox, but the size of the resulting screenshot would probably excess the limit imposed by Kiwi Farms.

Also can't archive it all because archive.today and archive.org are not very good at archiving a single comment thread, so I guess take your time and enjoy reading it all until eventually it gets taken down, my guess is that youtube will make the move.

This isn't so much a brave man taking a stand against an unruly mob but rather an eager idiot punching a hornet's nest. I mean people like him are inevitable when the title of your video is pure clickbait. No such thing as a bad comment I guess.

That doesn´t explain the fucking Crystal, Emerald, Platinum and USUM editions.

Why resell the same game but with extra content?

While the game was complete and was in a 6 year development hell(the opposite of being rushed), Red and Green were buggy as hell, and make the international Red and Blue versions(which use the improved Japanese Blue as the base) look like they are well-coded games. To give you an idea all you needed to do break the game in half was get more than one item in your pack, which allowed many many glitches involving switching items with the select button, the more items in your pack the more wacky things you could do.

I'm not fully on the Game Freak hate train myself, but this is a blatantly false statement and the games are starting to feel rushed. Arceus absolutely has a decent amount of bugs in it, and SwSh still has a bunch of easily patchable exploits like raid den manipulation.

It’s a dumb statement in general, even taking out the Pokémon part. Every game has some kind of bugs or glitches in it, and plenty run out of time to include or fine tune everything they wanted to.

Forget Game Freak, Joe wants to pretend his site that he clearly hates but can't nuke from orbit was never a buggy, unfinished mess once in its entire existence.

Hey, remember that time in X & Y where saving in the largest city in the game ruins your save file?

Not just the largest city, but basically the hub of the game once you really get invested into the game.

 

[Kari Kamiya]

Were there any other dumbass kids who legit believed the S.S. Anne would come back within a year?

Kinda sucks Game Freak never made that a reality once time was implemented into the series.

Look at it from GF/Nintendo’s viewpoint - if you lucked into somehow cultivating an audience that will GLADLY buy two nearly identical versions of a game on release, and then buy ANOTHER version with more content a year later, why the fuck WOULD you stop the grift?

 

[SteelPlatedHeart]

Selling the same game with added content isn’t just a Pokémon thing either. The Persona game do it, there’s plenty of “Game of the Year” Edition, Skyrim in general….

It's low hanging fruit, I know, but the FIFA games are basically indistinguishable from each other.

Personally I think the new starters look fine. Weed kitty is adorable, Josuke duck is a bit plain but otherwise dapper, and I like the concept of a ghost pepper crocodile. Personally I'm pretty hopeful about their evolutions. There's a lot of speculation that Sprigatito's line is going to be based on either an Iberian lynx or saber-tooth tiger. One for the region's location + face tufts, the other because it has anime fangs and the whole "prehistoric grass-type starter" thing. If they absolutely MUST go with a bipedal design, here's hoping they at least give it a "puss in boots" theme.

Just a heads up, the Arceus that you can get in BDSP is NOT shiny locked. I repeat, NOT locked. This is the first time someone in the US can legitimately obtain a shiny God.

 

[Archeops]

Well, I've officially reached the halfway point to finishing my third box of Shinies in PLA with a Shiny Hisuian Zorua.

But the pain of having no access to PLA-to-Home transfers makes it a bitch to keep your storage intact.

Remember when in SM on release you could crash your game by using a move?

 

[Dunsparce]

The only obtainable Pokemon in the entirety of BDSP that are Shiny-locked are The Manaphy Egg, the in-game trade Pokemon, and the gift Mew and Jirachi.

In the case of the Manaphy Egg, there was originally a very tedious and time-consuming method in Gen IV where you could potentially get a Shiny one from the Egg(involves 2 DS systems with gen IV games, a shit-ton of trading/soft-resetting, and starting new save files on one or both of the games), but this method no longer works in the remakes.

 

[Some Badger]

As an aside, I just beat the E4 in FireRed and I hate how grindy it gets at the end. I get they wanted the player to be the underdog in the final battle, but when there's a roughly fifteen level gap between the final gym leader and Blue/Green it's a bit much. Throw in the fact that Victory Road only has a handful of trainers and all the wild Pokemon are in unevolved forms despite their high level - purely to screw the player out of XP - and I feel the developers didn't respect the player's time.

The fact that the wild Pokémon in Victory Road have a pitifully exp yield is almost insulting. On the flip side, they added the VS seeker to facilitate grinding, but you straight up can’t use it indoors and nearly all the late game trainers are located in either the Pokémon Mansion or Victory Road. Rematch teams have a set level cap too.
