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

[Perspicacity]

I just need to say that these "Poketubers" are highly fucking disturbing. They all have these horrifying dead eyes and this weird robotic inflection in their voices when they pretend to be excited.

It's officially it was all lies to discredit Game Freak for no apparent reason, they are good boys and didn't do nuffin. Close your eyes and put your tinfoil hats on, it was all a conspiracy! Squint your eyes while playing the game and rub Vaseline on the screen, wow looks at those incredible graphics now! Don't get brainwashed by the haters just listen to me. Just buy the game. Have you bought it yet? Buy it. I'm buying it. You need to buy it.

Can tell from those thumbnails it's Verlis' Bullshit, think he has his own thread here. Fun fact about him, guy's a sargon fan, which is funny considering he's the sargon of poketubers

Yeah, although to be fair, people boil down the 'too much water' thing a bit too general - especially when if you actually read the article this is what's said:

"It’s not a new complaint, but Hoenn is still imbalanced type-wise, heavily favoring water. It’s especially noticeable in Alpha Sapphire, in which Team Aqua (the villains of the piece) use a lot of water types. It feels like there are water Pokémon in nearly every battle, and I have an overleveled Pikachu to show for it. You also have to navigate many bodies of water, since much of the late-game involves the HMs Surf and Dive to get from place to place. Diving was really neat back in 2002 when it was new, but I found it incredibly tedious in Alpha and Omega — an obvious example of how superfluous some HMs are."

Which if you ask me, is a fair critique in that regard - People just read the blurb without actually reading the article/review, and just assume the worst.

Like don't get me wrong, IGN has it's fair share of BS to it, but at the same time, I'm getting tired of people going to the 'too much water' card.

I mean too much water would be one thing, but keep in mind that's one of dozens of cards people pull against IGN, as I said the God Hand shit is emblematic of how they review shit. If they don't understand a game in anyway they hate it.

Pokémon Sword And Shield: The Kotaku Review

Roughly 10 hours into Pokémon Shield, I stepped into a stadium packed with screaming fans to face off against ghost-type gym leader Allister, a shy and awkward mask-wearing kid. I reliably made it through three of the four Pokémon on his team before getting my shit completely wrecked by his last...

God these people are so annoying

You KNOW if it was EA, Ubisoft, Bethesda, or ANYONE ELSE doing the same exact thing, justifying cutting content by saying "we had to remake the models" and then being revealed to have been reusing models the whole time, these SAME people would be trying to hold that company to scrutiny, instead of trying to obfuscate and ridicule actual criticism of this lazy fucking company.

And it's not just that, but their excuses are really fucking shitty. "Oh come on it's just a kid's game" "so what if they're reusing models" "you'll buy the game anyway"

Game Freak is developing a game in a franchise worth billions. It shouldn't be a controversial opinion that they should fucking act like it.

I don't know if this is suppose to be a joke or not but considering how people act when its their turn to have their favorite companies being made fun of I am not surprised.

Lol they're just now realizing the Pokemon fanbase is insufferable? Real late to the game, guys , but they're probably the same jackasses who threw a fit when Ash lost the Kalos League. The irony is truly incomprehensible to autists.

I hope the Sonic Twitter throws some shade on Pokemon. That's all that's truly missing here.

Good God, what a faggot. You can still love a franchise while being critical of the direction it's going in.

I'm sure most Pokemon fans still remember the day when the 4KIDS actors were "replaced", therefore kicking off SOVA, but I feel like I'm the only one who still remembers the shitstorm than ensued in 2013 when the 16th movie was coming out. Everyone got excited for it because Mewtwo was announced to be in it, literally, that's the only reason people were talking about that film. Like I believe it was from February to sometime in April where people were gushing on about it because omigawd it's Mewtwo!!!, but then a second trailer came out and revealed Mewtwo had a feminine voice, and everyone lost their goddamn minds. That was also around the time the Corocoro Mega Evolution leak came out, and no one wanted to believe it was real. There were still people defending it, willing to give it a chance, and if you know where to look you can find fans of whom they called "Newtwo", but there's kind of a reason why it's the second-lowest grossing Pokemon movie. No one was happy with it, and it got to the point where the screenwriter locked his Twitter account from the bombardment of messages he got.

We pretty much didn't get the answer until just this year as to why they made that decision (they didn't have the rights to Mewtwo as a character, it was with Takeshi Shudo's estate), but it had soured a lot of people's opinions of the anime's direction. Yeah, Best Wishes already had done that, and it was one of the last criticisms of BW before the Unova League, but the damage had been done. People say XY went in a better direction, but the fanbase was long-since splintered, and it never got better. The AmourShippers are among some of the worst, most obnoxious shippers in the Pokemon fandom, and the heel-face turn of the fanbase towards Alain gave everyone whiplash (and me lots of lulz because these were the same people who praised him as a character during the Mega Evolution specials) when he "stole" the championship from Ash. And then the new art-style turned a lot of people off, and I dunno if there were any real controversies for the Sun and Moon anime season, but my point still stands: The Pokemon fanbase was always shitty, always broken.

This is just another day, another year of Pokemon controversy, but this is definitely trumping the anime fanbase's chimp outs. It was just a matter of time, if you ask me.

TL;DR about the state of the Pokemon community:
