How the FUCK do they keep getting away with things? It's absolutely bizarre how much the Pokemon fanbase puts up with. If literally any other company did half the shit they do people would be giving them shit left right and center.
Pokemon fans have to have the lowest standards of any IP regardless of medium.

Pokemon is literally the best and only of its kind.

Brand recognisability, its that simple. Pikmin 4 and Bayonetta 3 could cure cancer and tendies still would want anything to do with them.

sex

Its really not as bad as detractors paint it, plenty of other series are in just as bad situations but pokemon gets extra scrutiny.
I consider myself a pokemon fan but I dont buy all the stuff they put out, Its cool to just wait out for a good game while I collect cards and porn and play fangames.

No one has principles any more.

nostalgia is one hell of a drug

It gets extra scrutiny because it's the biggest franchise on earth and hasn't budged an inch in decades.

It was always meant to be for children, but nostalgiababbies refuse to let go of the golden age.

Yeah but that doesnt "actually" mean anything.
Its not going to magically produce gold just because "muh biggest IP ever" thats not how anything works, and honestly it sounds like retards talking that dont know shit about the world.

Because it became a social outlet rather than a game. People get it to have an excuse to talk with friends. If you dont get it you're "missing out". Its like animal crossing but on fucking crack.

Because Pokémon is probably the most nostalgiafagged vidya IP known to man

Pokemon isn't a game. it's a lifestyle.

>Its really not as bad as detractors paint it
Pokemon stopped 'needing' two versions in gen 4 when wifi allowed easy trades of exclusives.
GameFreak has the output of an indie studio with a big budget, literally nothing warranted Dex cuts when the same models are reused and Home has HD textures on every Pokemon
Only Pokemon could put out a remake as bare bones as BDSP and have it become a best seller
Pokemon is now locking Pokemon behind purchasing other games. Seems they figured out that people were just borrowing friend's carts quickly as now to get Arceus in BDSP, unlocking an in-game event you need a completed PLA save file.

I don't know OP. People are defending that you meed 2 $60 games to get all the events now. And using HOME (which is also paid mind you) isn't an option either because the game doesn't support it yet despite promising it would

Fpbp, what else are people intresting in monster catching gonna play? Digimon, lol.

>it was meant for children which is why it got progressively more handholdy to the point that a blind retarded paraplegic can beat it
>also because it was "for children", this is somehow an excuse for them to never improve and be continuously shit, because heaven forbid we actually challenge said children
Great argument retard. Also, most games of that era were "for children" and they all improved or died out, pokemon has no excuse.

You will own nothing, boomer.

How about a free romhack made by a single autist that absolutely shits on anything the mainline games have done in years?

>It was always meant to be for children
Being for children has never been an excuse for poor quality. Some of the most beloved children's books and films of all time clearly had love and care put into their creation.

>play fangames
Recommend any?

>How the FUCK do they keep getting away with things?
Best and only game in its genre.

>it's the biggest franchise on earth
Not because of the games but because of the merchandise.

Pokemon never "needed" two games idiot.

>instead of playing pokemon... play pokemon
Stupid

>How about a free romhack made by a single autist that absolutely shits on anything the mainline games have done in years?
>it's still just pokemon
Nice job proving his point you fucking retard

>It was always meant to be for children
Nope. The TV show is for children.

>mogs the last 10 years of your franchise with one game

Not him, but I enjoyed Crystal Clear.
>can start in any town, Johto or Kanto
>HMs are now just for optional exploration
>like 20ish different starters ranging from easy to hard
>gyms scale based on how many badges you have
>QoL shit like turning you around after healing in the pokecenter

Based Crystal Clear Chad

His "point" is that Official pokemon games are the best at what they do (they arent by the way). My point is that a single autist can make a better game then anything a multibillion dollar company has shit out for free. Why would you fucking pay money for dogshit when someone can literally make what you already like, but better and free?

The first Ni No Kuni game absolutely shits on pokemon and its like 10 years old. That include graphics too, absolutely fucking embarrassing.

Im glad Gamefreak finally made a pokemon for us fellow ass eaters
