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

So I've been completely out of the loop on Pokemon ZA but I just saw this and just have to ask; why did they design a pokemon with a gem buttplug?

Japs think animal buttholes are funny. You almost always see a little X for a butthole drawn on dogs in comedy anime.

Animal buttholes are considered cute in Japan.

I like the doggo form of Zygarde. The snake is ok too. Not too sold on the complete form though.

Wait until you see its complete form's dick knees.

Once you see it....

Come on, it's gotta be there on purpose like the dick spires in The Little Mermaid. There's no way they designed dick knees without noticing it.

On the topic of Magnemite, we all know that he got a final evolution in gen 4: Magnezone. Gen 4 was the first generation of Pokémon games that I played so I have fond memories of it, and I always thought that Magnezone was cool even though I never got my hands on him during my playthrough.

I bring this up because for some reason, it wasn’t until recently that I looked at his design and realized that the red dot in the middle is supposed to be an eye. I always figured that it was supposed to just be a decoration or something and just treated the two eyes on the side as his only eyes. I don’t really know why I thought that considering his pre evolution Magneton has three eyes.

I climbed to the rim of the crater and caught a Magnezone in a drawn out war of attrition. Then put up with it not obeying me until I was worthy. Felt good man. It is now my loyal UFO slave.

Now see, I always ignored the other eyes and thought that the red one was the "real" eye. But I guess he can see out of all of them.

Do you regularly lurk the Pokemon thread or is someone talking about image formatting like a bat signal for you?

This is a sign to stop using thumbnailed images.

Making trade-only evolutions was a mistake. Almost all of the gen 4 third stage evolutions are "trade only + obscure item" and this problem was also carried over into BDSP. Only got Magnezone, Porygon Z, Magmortar, and Electivire finally through the GTN in sun/moon some years later as you can get all the items they needed outside of an ungodly amount of grinding in the battle tower, and trade them back. This was before the GTN got shit up with retards all wanting Arceus for everything. Yanmega was alright because "level up + already knows specific move" is a lot more fair. Most ROM hacks also remove this bullshit and replace the evolution requirement with something more reasonable.

I think, aside from the physical/special split, that that was one of the better things to come out of Gen4... older gen evolutions. And then gen5 brought the Eviolite and made those older gen pokemon even more viable (e.g. Rhydon).

I'm kinda pissed they don't do this anymore, and when they do it's only for regional variants and not for the O.G. mons (e.g. Farfech'd & Linoon). Megas are nice, but aren't permanent and can only be used once.

I really do. I hate Kingambit so much man, Bisharp didn't deserve to be done dirty like that

I 100% completely forgot about these.

S/V is so out of my head-cannon that I thought Sw/Sh was still the latest game when typing that. That's how bad it's gotten.

God I fucking wish I could do that.

Don't call it bad. Call it healing. Your brain is expunging the current state of the franchise from your mind to help you enjoy what it once was without dampening the mood with current slop. Thank it politely and give it a treat.

Im glad I can only remember pokemon up to Sinnoh. Still don't know what the regions for gen 5 or 6 are called.

Alola was decent with Solgaleo and Lunala as a brief return to form. Most nu-pokemon are essentially ultra beasts

 

[30+GameOvers]

In regards of "based on inanimate objects", I've grown to like Magnemite over the years. I dunno, something about it is just charming.

It's kinda similar to the Unown in being a floating eyeball, though I took to the Unown better due to lore and the third movie and I would allow Unown into the house long before any Magnemite. But damn it all, I just can't hate the little guy.

I always imagined that this isn't a sentient being but rather some sort of drone whose programming got corrupted. Maybe something to do with Kanto or Kalos power plants, fuck if I know Gamefreak never gives us any proper lore. It's been 25 years and we still don't know what the deal is with Unown and all their temples.

This became especially apparent when sword and shield released, which also unintentionally caused the player-base to be more critical of the 3ds era, as all the major videos that criticize XY for example were made after SwSh released. Before SwSh most critizisms towards gen 6 and gen 7 weren't as prevalent and i'd aruge gens 6 and 7 had their peak in reception at their respective launches. Back when XY and ORAS came out, I remember people saying that gen 6 was better then gen 5 or any of the previous gens aside from maybe gen 4. Which might sound insane in retrospects, but the reception was super positive, probably because people assumed there would be a pokemon Z.

XY and ORAS were always heavily criticized. Maybe not by casuals or youtubers, but honestly who gives a shit about their opinion?
I will let you know, saying that Gen 6 is better than Gen 5 is mere bait, very good bait at that and the likes of Yawnfag on /vp/ has made their entire identity revolve around getting people to argue with one another by saying the dumbest shit possible(by his own admission, he hates Pokemon, doesn't play the games and only aims to disrupt discussions).

You probably wonder how you train and level up your Pokemons then given that trainer encounters and gyms are the same as in the original games? Well, when you successfully catch a wild Pokemon, the Pokemons sitting in your team will automatically gain XPs, which makes no sense. You still need to do it though because they retained the traditional fight encounters with other trainers (which also give you XPs). I can see why they went in this direction given how successful Pokemon Go was on mobile but trying to emulate that on a console was a bad idea. The game was slightly less fun than the original red and blue versions that it's based on and nostalgia aside, red and blue are now pretty limited and repetitive in term of game design and mechanics. The whole thing made me lose faith in Game Freaks because of the missed opportunity it represents.

The whole reason why Go is popular is because it's free and available on a mobile device, something everyone right down the to the blackest nigger and brownest pajeet in the most foul corner of the world have. Pokemon Let's Go was made in mind for those people who have never played any Pokemon game other than GO(aside from maybe the original titles on Gameboy), but in order to play the game, you need:
*Nintendo Switch console
*The game
*Another game, if you want all Pokemon
*HOME membership in order to transfer Pokemon to and from the game
*50$ Pokeball accessory that works with no other game, that includes other Pokemon games on the Switch, if you want Mew

Now, what do you think your average GO player will do? Will they continue playing their shitty mobile game they're already invested in that is still getting free content to this day, or blow all this money just to play one game that kind of plays like GO? If they wanted to go down this route, they can just play the original gameboy titles on emulation, also on their phones, free of charge. Hell, it would almost be a better deal to take all that money you would spend on getting a Switch and everything else I listed and whaling it on GO for some nice boosters or something, make your experience in GO more enjoyable.

As you can see, this was an absolute waste of everyone's time and I still remember how relentlessly this game was mocked on /vp/ to this day. It got so bad that this is actually the debut of Yawnfag. He got his start by being an obnoxious faggot and defending both Let's Go and Gamefreak to the bitter end and then doing the same with every new release afterwords(starting gen wars and spamming threads in between releases).
BTW you can swear on this website, dude

I had no idea dude, I bought a second hand Switch Lite and I saw the game in the online catalogue. Just thought they had finally made a 3d remake of my beloved red cartridge (gen 1 player here). Big disappointment. I feel that they put a lot of effort in the Viridian forest at the beginning which looked great and made the game lag (performance lol), everything after that was crap. I don't know Yawnfag but if he liked this game then he lived up to his name.

The in-universe speculation is that the Magnemite line are alien robots. The Pokedex entries for Magnezone all talk about it being mistaken for a UFO when people see it fly by, and that its antenna receives unknown signals from outer space. There was a feature on the official Japanese website back in Gen 7 where an Occult Maniac (Hex Maniac) and a skeptic professor argued over in-universe /x/ shit, and the Occult Maniac speculated that Magnezone were created by aliens and left behind on Earth.

Cool, I really don't care. I'm still gonna treat it like a drone, since it makes more sense.
If they wanted aliens to actually have place in the universe, they should have put them in the game. No, implying that Clefairy is an alien doesn't count. Since nothing came of it from the leaks, I am guessing that the story with aliens in XY was just a hoax, but I still think it would be much better than what we got, and in that case I could see Magnemite line coming over from the same place as Fairy types.

 

[Kari Kamiya]

Game Freak clearly wants to do the "Pokémon come from space" origins but at the same time doesn't want to commit. It's real frustrating.

 

[Computer God Autism]

they should have put them in the game.

I mean, they did with Alola. S/M's plot got completely hijacked by it in USUM.

Honestly, I wish they never touched extraterrestrials. It's such a stupid diversion. My upper limit for it is stuff like Deoxys being an earth-based mutation of some space bacteria that resulted in a new Pokemon.

I really do. I hate Kingambit so much man, Bisharp didn't deserve to be done dirty like that

Farigiraf, Annihilape and Hydrapple are cool, the others are mediocre, and Kingambit is such a piece of shit. It's a turtle with a sword stache that's been welded to a bench. I'd much rather they made Bisharp competitively viable than ruin such an awesome design, what a waste.

XY and ORAS were always heavily criticized.

On /vp/ perhaps, where they froth at the mouth over any generation aside from 1 (and maybe 2). XY were very well received when they first came out, every corner of the internet (aside from 4chan) glazed the shit out of these games. You only saw people discussing XY's lack of content after SuMo's release, when they realized there would be no Z to fix it, and you only saw the 3D Pokemon era being heavily criticized after Dexit opened the floodgates.

 

[Computer God Autism]

and you only saw the 3D Pokemon era being heavily criticized after Dexit opened the floodgates.

I think criticism of Gen 6 ramped up after it came and went with the back-to-back disappointments of ORAS cutting out most of the Emerald content, no Z version and then the Kalos anime using its finale to give its longtime viewership some of the biggest middle-fingers possible, but I still remember it wasn't hard to find criticism of Gen 6 on Gamefaqs or Youtube c.2014/15. A common talking point really was that the 3DS as a whole was a stepdown in quality from the DS titles - anecdotally I saw more than a few comparisons between Gen 6 and FE:Awakening in terms of what they represented for their respective franchises.

UBs aren't aliens, they're more like alternative universe SCPs. You're thinking of the /vp/ theory where in-game characters in Sun/Moon were the UBs in disguise, which was more in line with the original XY "story leak" where Fairy types were supposed to be aliens and the original story revolved around you trying to expose a conspiracy(the professor was supposedly a bad guy all along covering up for the aliens, for example)

I genuinely don't care about the opinions of normalfags, especially those who buy GFs games every year despite their declining quality. I will take a COD fanboy who does the same more seriously, maybe even a Bethesda fanboy on a good day. Point is that parts of the fanbase that still had backbone always criticized these games and doing so only being "normalized" years later when it became a fad(normalfags bought Dexit hook line and sinker, same with most youtube content creators except those who saw a payday in siding with angry fans, in other words culture war faggots) only shows how absolutely abysmal this fandom is.
If you saw people "glazing" XY and ORAS maybe you were spending too much time on reddit or twitter, in which case even /vp/ users who "froth at the mouth" at everything might be the reasonable ones here. If more people simply did not tolerate Gamefreak's faggotry, franchise wouldn't be where it is today.

The lack of Battle Frontier was it, that was the tipping point for most that generation alongside lack of Z release. The latter is even more ridiculous when you consider Gamefreak could have easily made it, but they quite literally didn't feel like it. At that point in time, Gamefreak decided to make games other than Pokemon due to creative bankruptcy that comes in mostly working on nothing but one franchise for 20 years. Most of them were forgettable and not worth mentioning, altho they did make other non-Pokemon titles later on("Little Town Hero" gets a mention for being possible the most boring and generic JRPG ever released, generic in a bad way too). Funnily enough, Teraleak had a few never released games which seemed to be at least somewhat complete, and they were pretty good. Not sure why these would be cancelled and the ones they released weren't.

Ironically you can even see this sentiment on this very thread. In the first 30 pages or so, even just looking at the highlights, you could see that most people early on were just talking about playing the games, with very few being critical. Even if people became more critical of XY and later on the ultra games and lets go, most people still weren't as critical towards any of the 3D games like they are today.

Like you said, this only changed after Dexit. And honestly? It's both sad and somewhat nostalgic seeing people before dexit being excited for sword and shield and then the opinions souring after dexit was announced. You could pretty much see the shift in sentiment within the community in real-time.

 

[Lambda Corps]

I wish there were more cool event only locations like Gen 3 and 4 had. Gen 6 was the start of the boring DLC download "mystery gift" events that were boring and little different than injecting a new team with pkhex.

 

[Computer God Autism]

No, I'm thinking of how Necrozoma's pokedex entry says it literally comes from another world, how the Ultra Beasts come out of interdimensional wormholes, and the entire subplot revolving around going through those interdimensional wormholes to get to the Ultra Megalopolis, whose source of light used to be Necrozma and who haven't had one since it went insane because they are not even part of the solar system. This is well beyond Zinnia hinting that Gen 6 and on take place in an alternate timeline, it's actual aliens that have the power to travel dimensions because that was all the rage in the late 10s.
