Can we all just take a minute to discuss how much Pokemon is killing it this year?

>Pokemon Go is the biggest and most successful mobile game of all time and has literally taken over the world
>Pokemon Sun and Moon is actually changing the formula after 20 years and doing new and fresh things and looking like the best Pokemon game to date
>The Pokemon anime is currently the best it's ever been and Ash is finally CONFIRMED to win the league.

2016 is the year of Pokemon. I'm the most hyped about Ash finally winning the league. The 8 year old me is going wild because I have been waiting for this moment for almost 20 years

Sun/Moon looks great but Go is fucking shit and is already a dying fad.

Nintendo also hardly even benefited from it and are letting Niantic kill it with incompetence

Can we all just take a minute to discuss how much Autism is killing it this year?

Sun/Moon doesn't look that good and will surely be a boring game.

You won't get any serious answer Op, just parotting retards like him.

>GO has a chance to be a global phenomenon
>literally logged more users in a day than twitter and instagram together did
>MASSIVE imcompetence on the dev's part has already caused its bubble to collapse and it's literally leaking millions of dollars

Wew

Also EVERY pokemon game is bad. All of them, every single generation. They're goddamn awful JRPGs that have been coasting on the popularity of the monsters themselves and a perfect storm of circumstances responsible for the first gen's initial success on release.

Fucking POKEMON has better animation than Dragon Ball Super. Jesus Christ DBS was a mistake. Also, this episode is fucking amazing. Pikachu is the MVP of the finals

Nah these games are great

>Ash's Pikachu is actually acting like a level 100 Pikachu like it should have been

These new writers for the anime are alright

I stopped watching the anime series with advanced, what makes it so good now?

Why did Niantic fuck up their goldmine? They struck gold but turned that gold into shit.

3 > 6 > 1 > 4 > 2 > 5
If you disagree you're wrong

This

I really, really like this picture.

Ash is comptent and smart as fuck now. He's matured a whole lot and it's looking like he's going to win the Kalos League. The animation is top notch. The writing is the best it's been. Ash and Serena might actually become a couple. Also, Naruto Frog

This is a good picture. Thank you user.

How do we know Ash will win?

You have the shittest taste I've ever seen

Cause hes got a frog

He's currently in the finals and the next episode is titled "Kalos League Victory! Ash's Ultimate Match!!"

That's quite the team...

4 > 5 > 3 > 2 > 1 > 6

The anime lost me when it started swapping out the companions, several times over, and we still had the same MC + his sidekick.

I really wish they'd have had a different character in each region or two. Maybe they'll finally wrap up Ash after he wins this league, but who knows.

He can also 'Synchro' with gekkouga and basically make it mega evolve

What exactly is sun and moon doing differently than the others? All I've seen is more evos and ice pallet swaps

What makes Sun/Moon special?

No more gyms, from the 'chinese leak' which is all but confirmed to be real now, they claim that you will instead create the E4 by travelling the region and meeting people. Thats also why people think Ash will win the league he will then be sent to Kalos to create a new league there.

No more gyms. No more HM moves.

No gyms? So will there be no boss fights, or will they be going the Megami Tensei route of having you only get into serious battles with evil characters?

>3 above 2, 4, and 5
>6 above anything but 4
>5 dead last
>1 that high up
Even POWs who had their tongues cut out have better taste than you do.

Just watch this

You take an island trail now

Will they fuck?

Why does Pokemon have Jojo poses now? Or am I just looking too far into this?

>Ash is going to win the league without Charizard

It's not suppose to end this way

It's for Z-Moves. They synchronize with their Pokemon or something and the Pokemon can unleash a fucking DBZ style attack

>Or am I just looking too far into this?
You be the judge

>Pokemon Sun and Moon is actually changing the formula after 20 years and doing new and fresh things and looking like the best Pokemon game to date

like what? is it getting rid of routes finally?

>The Pokemon anime is currently the best it's ever been and Ash is finally CONFIRMED to win the league.

Looking forward to see him getting BTFO like always and for you to livestream your suicide

How the fuck are you supposed to get around without routes? Airships?

>like what? is it getting rid of routes finally?

see

it's almost as if

THERE'S

A

BOARD

FOR

THIS

and open world or something that is not glorified hallways.

Would be cool if Nintendo made a Xenoblade-style Pokemon game, but I know they're too lazy for that, sadly. I mean, look at how long it took them to get rid of grid based movement.

>this mad

>50+ million people currently playing
>dying

Mongoloids said WoW was dying within the first three months of vanilla release.
These kinds of mongoloids will exist eternally as the shitters of reality.

Sup Forums qualifies for the player hater of the century award. "Pokemon GO is a passing fad even though 50+ million are playing"

should I skip x/y and the gen 3 remakes and get this?

>skip x/y
Up to you, medicore game but still playable
>skip gen 3 remakes
Please do, they are a disgrace to the franchise. It's like gamefreak taking a shit on your favorite food

Yes to both.

>live in buttfuck, nowhere
>groups of people (kids, teens, neckbeards) playing it at 3am
It's far from dying m8

REEEEEEE ASH WON THE FUCKING ORANGE ISLANDS RREEEEEEEEEE WHY DOESNT ANYONE COUNT IT REEEEE

...

filler

Who's your team ?

Pokemon Red\Blue\Yellow are the only pokemon games that are 'good'. After that it's gold, silver and the rest don't exist.

Every game is glorified hallways

Pokemon started at 3.

No-one else required.

So far?
Popplio
Lurantis
Raichu or fake pikachu

Crystal and the Drayano version of the GSC remakes were good, and MAYBE Emerald but nothing else.
And those were only good when we were kids. Now they fucking suck.

>being a nostalgia fag

and the he can activate tramp cards and spell cards too omfg i'm super hypped

>Pokemon franchise is finally pushing forward
>Zelda is finally pushing forward
>Mario Kart 8 was fantastic
>Smash 4 was a mediocre, benign HD growth of Brawl

im 3/4 with Nintendo right now, but pretty happy overall

im just waiting for the NX reveal and hoping its good

the seal starter
alolan raichu
the fractal fish
the koala, provided it evolves into a drop bear
whatever the hell kinda bug Tapu Koko is
Mimikyu
Orchid Mantis

>Team Skull will talk like wiggers in the English dub

isn't that basically the mystery dungeon games?

Charizard is for faggots, although Greninja is just as obnoxious honestly.

those are actually traditional Hawaiian dance forms but its fun to meme

Gen 1 sucked ass

These are the best Pokemon games

I wish it was easy to get a copy of pokePlat for cheap

>caring about balance in a pokemon game

Play SC2 or dota2 for competition and balance, play pokemon for collecting\training monsters.

Anti-genwunners are the most obnoxious and autistic people

Remove HG/SS for Emerald.

HGSS literally fixed NONE of the problems that made the original GSC so bad.

No, MD are grid based roguelikes. Of course, I would like a mainline game like that as well, with tactical Pokemon battles being a thing for tournaments

Pokemon stepped their game up because of Yokai Watch's increasing popularity

If I haven't played any pokemon games since R/B/Y and I don't really follow pokemon at all, which game would be a good one that's easily pirated on PC (assuming with an emulator) to attempt to get back into the series?

Heartgold/Soulsilver

Platinum or Soul Silver

Emerald or Platinum.

Disregard GSC retards.

>bad balance doesn't matter, just work around it
>w-who cares if it's broken
You're entitled to your opinions on which games you prefer, but trying to argue that gen 1 isn't mechanically inferior to every Pokemon game following its release is just blatantly nostolgiafagging

What retard made this image?

Here is the part you didn't read.

>I WAS YOUNG, SO POKEMON TOURNAMENTS DIDNT EXIST.
>I WAS A FIVE YEAR OLD RETARD AND IT WAS LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR PEOPLE TO PLAY AGAINST EACH OTHER.

Me.

Hey man, it's okay. You should have a rest.

>This shit doesn't matter. Deal with it.
>mechanics functioning in a logical manner and the way they're supposed to doesn't matter
>nobody with a brain has ever had their gameplay experience ruined because of game balance issues.
If a game programed to have turn based battle system had issues and errors with following its own logic in said battle system, I imagine anyone with a brain would be at least a little let down by the mechanics. Here's your
(you).

I'm not salty enough to make an image like this.

That's pretty pathetic. I mean really, how triggered would you have to be to make something like that?

What's a good DS emu? Preferably the easiest to configure.

I hear the latest dolphin emulator is also a snap at DS emu

>following its own logic in said battle system
That image maybe has 2 of those """""issues"""""". The rest of it is just "I don't like that abilities aren't explained in the game well enough like in my dota2 games!".

The rest are bugs or opinions on what should happen.

I always tried to keep an open mind with these people but maybe Gen 1 fags genuinely are this retarded.

Name 5 internal logic issues. You have 20 seconds.

Like what

>killing it

2 > 1 >>>>>> 3 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> everything else

if you disagree you're an underage hugbox autist

The abysmal level scaling.
Kanto being a neutered piece of shit.

>Toxic and Leach Seed stack, causing leach seed to deal double damage when it shouldn't.
>Focus energy cuts crit chances instead of rasing them
>Killing someone with Hyper Beam causes you to not have to recharge afterward
>Badly poisoned status converts to normal poison when withdrawing Pokemon from play
> Enemy trainers Pokemon will ALWAYS use super effective moves, even if the move does no damage. This has lead to the infamous beat Lance's Dragonite with a level 3 Zubat trick.
Neck yourself

>censoring the fucks
For what purpose?

Genwunners are literal children.

I fucking saw this in the trailer, the poor thing even did the whole anime-style evaporation thing as it was swallowed by the fire.

>fainted.

Give me a break, that thing fucking died.
