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

[Lucille Bluth]

To summarize the news for S/V:

• It's open world and the Gyms can be taken on in any order
• The new Gimmick is Teralizzing in which the pokemon's typing and moves are strengthen. They can even change typing with it depending on their "Tera Type".
• Tera Raids will take the place of the G-Max raids and the gameplay will he more RTS than turn-based.
• The legendary pokemon can indeed be riden and it can even change it's form to travel any environment.
• There are, of course, more regional pokemon forms. However, the only one we were shown was a wooper variant that'll likely be a poison type.

I wonder how level scaling will work if you can challenge them at any order. Pretty sure the Gen 2 games had weird level scaling around the middle or last couple gym leaders.

I wonder what Pokemon will be able to teralize. I'd bet Pikachu, Eeevee and Charizard are on that list even before I watch any trailers.

I dunno, the environments still look like an upscaled PS2 game.

At this point, I don't think its realistic to expect any mainline Pokemon game to ever fit the general graphic standards at the time of its release.

I’ll never forget the moment I defeated the first Trial Captain in the Sun & Moon Generation.

It was absolutely simple.

What did the Trial Captain say to me? “I am impressed you didn’t need to use Z-Power!”

Bitch, you are talking to someone who mastered Gen 1 within weeks despite not knowing Focus Energy did nothing for you. Someone who’s very first League Hall of Fame included the lame ass Tangela you can only get late in the game. Someone who insulted the very existence of Mega Evolution on a constant basis, and only didn’t insult the following gimmicks, Z-Power and Dynamaxing, because they were still a step-up on paper, but still dragged this tired conceptual gimmick out like crazy.

And now what have they done?

They have added a Crystal Aura and Sparkly Skin onto the Giant Pokemon.

In 1995, I thought that was just lazy when the Power Rangers Metallic Armor was just glitter.

The Franchise’s embarrassing need for these gimmicks is getting tiring.

I honestly don't mind this gimmick. They're pretty much a more restrainted and pretty looking G-max form. They even have the bonus of potential typing shenanigans with the whole "Tera Type" aspect.

Unlike G-maxing, which was pretty much a more unbalanced Mega Evolution. Especially with the Gigantomax forms.

At this point, I don't think its realistic to expect any mainline Pokemon game to ever fit the general graphic standards at the time of its release

That can be applied to pretty much any other mainline franchise on the Switch. At least for stuff like mario, they were better at masking the system's graphical limitations.

The leakers have been saying for weeks that there will not be any level scaling. Doesn't really matter in the long run since Pokemon games are still fairly easy to beat and I see no reason to think that this will be an exception.

 

[Too Many Catgirls]

I was not too impressed with today's Pokemon news. But that's okay I'll play other stuff and probably pick the new one up after all the DLC comes out.

 

[Wooper]

Guys! Why didn't you tell me they gave me a Nigger form?

 

[Too Many Catgirls]

Oh also, this is for you Fidough people:

/vp/ is predictable shitting bricks but I think this looks cool. Doomers are always gonna find something to complain about but I dig the open world elements so far

Yeah I’m honestly so sick of the doomers now. SV genuinely look like they’re shaping up to be great games aside from the graphics. It’s gotten to the point where there’s no middle ground with Pokemon, if you criticize the games people get angry, if you say the games look good people will also get angry.

It’s not just Pokemon either. FFXIV is also horrible with this. Either Yoshi P is a god who can do no wrong or a terrible producer who should get kicked off and replaced. The amount of toxic positivity and negativity has gotten worse in every fandom for the past three years.

I'm getting really tired of Pokemon pandering to the west more and more with each generation.

If you didn't tell me what this was I would have assume it came from DeviantArt.

Yeah, good thing they never went with anything like a flamboyant male or I'd really throw a fit.

Wonder if they gave the genders to avoid another "muh non-binary" or "muh trans" headcanon bullshit, but this is probably just going to stoke the fires and make them double down on it.

Seems to be a common coomer mistake.

I’m not sure how I feel about the legendary Pokémon turning into motorbikes it seems kind of stupid.

I wonder if they’ll do DLC with this generation ? Or release a third version like they have done in the past.

Well, I already know that Violet is the version I'm getting cause it's mon is the one that turns into something that actually looks like a motorcycle instead of a rocking horse.

 

[SSj_Ness (Yiffed)]

Open world usually sucks but for Pokemon it makes sense, they've always been somewhat open and it fits well. The Pokemon are horrible as per usual though, and the human designs have hit an all-time low.

Wonder if they gave the genders to avoid another "muh non-binary" or "muh trans" headcanon bullshit, but this is probably just going to stoke the fires and make them double down on it.

More than likely it's because the "male" looks like a female design in every way. They basically drew a girl and put a male sex symbol next to it because otherwise people would think there's no male player character.

You do realize that the trap is a gym leader, right?

These are the Player Characters:

Oh, no, I didn't realize that. Wait, there's a male and female form for one single character, is that what that was about?

Those player characters are awful too, especially the male. What a faggy design.
