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

nah the IDs are different

(Also there does seem to be "woke appeal" or androgyny in the character designs, but that may not be that big of a deal anyway.)

i said in this thread before, but literally every other character in swsh was black and nobody really gave a shit
rika is the 'masculine, cool girl' archetype which is actually more common in anime than you might think.
saguaro's a little faggy, yeah, but if you meet with him and do the little side character arc interactions it's shown he's insecure about it and thinks people have expectations for him to be completely tough and masculine

i like the little side stories with the teachers, they're cute

the trainer npcs are fucking UGGO though.

the rest of the JP internet kicked his shit in for being a whiny retard

I google'd "ポリコレ" "ポケモンsv"* and got over 200K results, so I think a lot of people in Japan are talking about that.

Anyway I think the best generation is 6 because of ORAS. Also I think AS is the best game of Gen 6. If SV brought back that "battle test" thing and some kind of flying, it may be a game I could like. Especially if diving and secret bases were also brought back.

Call me MATI, but as far as I am concerned, remaking RS instead of E was an absolutely retarded move. Same with BDSP instead of Platinum.
Also this is unforgivable

it could also... be people talking about that vocal minority

The Battle Pyramid could've looked good in 3D.

"Japan mercilessly roasts Pokemon SV" - Hero Hei

Honestly the only character design in SV I can call "woke" is Penny because she looks like a stereotypical danger hair lesbian and acts like one too. There's more brown skinned characters than a lot of entries but considering where the games location is based off, that's too be expected. You see several character designs that are more unconventional (buff/chunky women for example) for minor trainers as well, but that's a pretty decent example of "realistic diversity" instead of the woke type.

Ain't a waifufag, but it's also just dishonest to say there's no conventionally attractive characters in the game. What I think these raging retards are really upset about is that none of the characters designs are explicitly coombait this time around like fucking Nessa.

 

[negativlad]

Weirdly enough, the only trainers I see with much diversity to their design are the (alleged) students. They run the gamut from little kid to fat old man which is fucking wild. On the other hand, every musician, artist, courier, black belt, dragon master, taxi man, etc. are literal swaps of one another which I guess is marginally more work than the identical trainer sprites of yore but still: lmao. Even the Muscle Girls of Paldea are the exact same type as one another.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

Sada from SV gives me Ayla from Chrono Trigger vibes.

students

It could be woke-y how the boy and girl MC wear a unisex uniform, but then again they could just be copying what IRL Spain does now.

That's just how Japanese RPGs do NPCs, Dragon Quest is the same way with body types.

Charizard Raids are up again. Caught one on my first try with a team that only had one Marril and wasn’t even really using the method. Also got two shiny Toadscools and a shiny gogoat in about an hour’s span right before.

I haven’t had any real problems with the raids aside from the idiots who only join to show off their shinies. Other than that, I just grab a brainless Mon of my own and go to town. I got an ability patch for my Skeledirge and just wail on anything weak to Fire with Torch Song. Even if it’s not weak to fire, if it’s actual type is, he can do really well with it too. The hidden ability is Unaware.

Belly Drum Iron Hands is also a really good mon to use. It’s not too hard to train up a Pokémon that can break Raids if need be.

Also, for those having issues getting Herbs…


No joke, I fought a Cetitan that dropped four herbs and an ability patch at once.

 

[Viscious Seviper]

Still shiny hunting Latias in BDSP. I like it though the originals had more charm to them and ORAS still blows it out of the water. Why can't sinnoh get any of that passion put behind it?

 

[SteelPlatedHeart]

I now own three shiny dung beetles.

 

[Shining Wit]

Got my first wild shiny since a shiny Psyduck in Crystal all those years ago, a shiny Drifloon. I will love him and raise him like a son

get a shiny wiglett so you can make a golden penis

Also: they are actually fucking doing it. Ash Ketchum's journey is going to be concluded in a final mini-series of 11 episodes.

 

[huecoffs02]

Ash is going away holy shit. Where did the years go?

 

[Billhook]

Anyone playing PokeMMO? I caught this lettuce recently while trying to find an Absol holding a life orb

Didnt they tease this years ago? The anime stopped being any good around diamond and pearl. They spent way too much time around the starting areas versus making new areas up and going forward and away from pallet town in the previous seasons. The orange league and Johto's exploration made things way more interesting than anything that happened in the actual games. Its another reason why I disdain the uninspired remakes of Kanto every few years. They never consider these locations. EVER. Even in the day and age of post launch support and paid DLC.

The battle frontier seasons also brought up a ton of areas that are not even in Emerald's battle frontier.

Would like to see some of these anime only places be added as DLC into the actual main games someday. Its was nice to see the sinjoh ruins in HG/SS and a missed opportunity they werent even mentioned in PLA.

Gen 6 and Gen 8 anime were actually good though. Also, would the Sevii Islands count like the Orange Islands in some fashion?

The orange islands were different but the Sevii islands were a decent enough substitute. IIRC the orange league had its own proto battle frontier and had the kanto bird trio along with Lugia there in one of the movies.

They did incorporate the GS ball storyline into Firered/Leafgreen. Looking back it was probably just a tease for gold and silver since its literally called the "gold silver ball" in japanese so the storyline was never really "dropped". Gold and silver just eventually released.

I read/watched somewhere that the GS ball was supposed to be way more important to the plot in Johto and was supposed to contain Celebi. Because the corporate heads wanted Celebi to be the main focus of the 4th Pokemon movie the anime plotline was scrapped and the GS ball was never mentioned again.
