Why did you drop pokemon user?

why did you drop pokemon user?

a shitty rpg that you grind and theres no fun.

Got tired of playing the same game after the 5th time.

Kinda burned out of the same formula.

Because the spinoff games are more enjoyable to play.

1. Not enough innovation between each game made the series stale.
2. The story isn't all that fun and it's pretty short. Then it becomes a grindfest/best stats fest for multiplayer.
3. Too many 'mons aren't competitively viable.
4. I don't know any local players to just battle casually with favorites (instead of the typical tourni picks)

-Every game have the same structure
-The two "complementary" games bullshit every time.
-Pokemon design getting worse
I think that's it.

I wanted to spend more time masturbating to the Pokemon

meta is trash
5 was more fun

I never had any handheld past GBA, not really worth going back

>1. Not enough innovation between each game made the series stale.

This mainly for me. Like I always felt that after DPP things just started to felt stale. Here's to the slight hope that Sun and Moon is actually going to try something new.

Its too easy. Not even playing extremely under-leveled does it anymore.

I'm no longer a child that can immerse himself into something with friends due to the internet existing

I still play but like for a week every 3 years at best?

pokemon showdown exists

I didn't drop it, I just never got a 3DS. I wanna play it still. I've just been replaying FireRed on a emulator.

Why Game Freak decided to force me to romance some 8 year old kid.

Its a concept that's only fun the first time. Afterwards there is no point to playing it again.

What do you mean? I've never dropped Pokemon.

Too many gay pokemon

Serena was only in one game.

Lost interest, they don't really grow or evolve.

I didn't.

Just started a Nuzlocke run for Pokemon Silver today.

I wanted to finally drop it after that abomination of a 6th Gen but Sun/Moon looks so good

I didn't. All I have left to get for my living dex are event pokemon. Not sure what to do about getting all the Vivillon patterns, I wasn't paying attention when they were hot so I don't know how to go about finding people willing to part with them and for what. Apparently my local pattern is pretty common so that doesn't help.

Because I grew up.

Still like it though.

Got my R4, Pokesav'd whatever I wanted, lost drive to play after that

I loved pokemon as a kid but I stopped watching because of peer pressure. Now there's a dozen generations and hundreds of new pokemon I've considered getting back into it but now I wouldn't even know where to start

It's a kids' series that didn't grow with me.

I stopped after Platinum and tried to pick it up again for X&Y. It was too easy.

Now I just wait each year for an influx of pokegirl porn that it is guaranteed to produce.

Does it count as having "dropped" pokemon if I don't play the games but still masturbate to the creatures?

You might want to tune in for the news on Sun & Moon then, shit's getting weird.

because the entire 6th gen was fucking trash. S&M looks cool though.

Too many HMs

I stopped playing for some reason after soul silver
and they i tried playing omega ruby
>that fucking lack of content
>shitty shading makes everything look washed out as fuck
>some pokemon cries sound weird
dropped it after the second gym
never touching post 3D pokemon games ever again

they're dropping them in S/M

forgot my picture

It wasn't cool anymore when I still played it
And then normies jumped back onto it

And then these autistic competitive shits started appearing
Nigga, I just wanna play for fun, I don't care about your ideal team comp

Oh shit, pokemon undropped

Gen 6 was a major let down and ORAS in particular was supposed to be really bad (I skipped it after XY). If I were you I'd wait to hear about gen 7's reception instead of letting ORAS color your perceptions. Also, play gen 5, it's fantastic.

>pokemon still have regular cries
>but pikachu uses the anime voice to scream his name now

>meowth is a quadrupedal cat that stands up on its hind legs for action poses
>in fully animated 3D, he doesn't default to being on all fours, because of the anime

I don't like these changes.

Meowth has literally always been in a standing pose in every single Pokemon game, what the hell are you talking about? Don't get mad at the game for not reenforcing your headcanon.

I know about the no gyms and aloha pokes.

Still seems more of the same just with a different coat of paint.

Every island has it's own boss character so basically that's the same as a gym.

There is like so much shit you could do with pokemon yet they don't seem to try much.

They moved onto this

Not enough human on Pokemon romance

I just get bored or become more interested in something else, I'll probably get back into it once Sun and Moon come out

ORAS can't keep my interest long enough for me to beat it

Best mon

Think once I got to X/Y with the fully 3D battling, I knew that's as good as it was gonna get.

Don't get me wrong, X/Y was probably the generation I liked the least, but the dream I had when I was 8 had been realized of a fully 3D pokemon game.

On top of that, it's just series fatigue.

If you still enjoy it and doing competitive stuff, power to you.

My interest in competitive peaked around B/W (which is the generation I think is the best next to my nostalgia-biased R/B G/S love) when I ran an Ursaring with maxed Speed/Attack, Quick Feet, Toxic Orb, Swords Dance and Facade. Once I consistently started out running Greninjas and sweeping full teams of OU, I had my fill and dropped out.

This gen looks aight, mons look pretty dumb but I'm sure there'll be some decent ones.

I'm kinda scared because I thinkn I'm losing interest in all of gaming, too. Hold me.

...

Why are the tits on the shirt

They could've created an MMO with all the money they made from Pokemon, instead we get the same recycled game each generation.

That's her skin

Listen to He's especially correct about gen 5. B/W was incredibly good and this is coming from a genwunner.

because hitmonchan's skin just looks like clothing

...

What Pokemon would you marry and impregnate?

Shitty Riot tier meta

...

I just took a look at the serebii page to see what new mons were revealed and what the fuck is this shit?

any other answer than gardevoir is objectively wrong

Glaceon

All of them.

...

i haven't gen 5 is my fav followed by gen 3

ayylmao

...

You mean if I was a pokemon too, r-right?

FURFAGS GET OFF MY THREAD

...

Human of course

A very strong mosquito

...

...

I was too old for it when the fad hit.I imagine I'd really like the games, but the character designs were always retarded, and only real exposure to the franchise was catching the occasional tv episode or movie. Regarding the show and films, those were enough to want to kill someone.

More like picked up where I left off.
I picked up X right when Pokemon Go was popular, now I can't wait for Sun and Moon.

...

Fucking China

Fucking furfags

Those were action poses. He's always had a four legged body type in the pokedex.

...

What Pokemon do you want to fuck?

sylveon i will never get tired of that Dōjinshi

We don't know yet if Ultra Beasts are going to be catchable Pokemon or just monsters to serve as proper boss fights. On top of only having code names and not being classified as Pokemon in any official material, they have no types or abilities, and we haven't seen them in battle so we don't know if they use traditional moves.

...

Gen 6 was shockingly bad after best gen. Pokemons only miss earlier, gen 3, was still much better than x y/oras
For the first time in a long while i didnt preorder the next game.

Casuals were a mistake, the game was already easy to begin with but they progressively simplify also the secondary aspects of the game like end game and shiny farming.

Videogames

No one cares about the shitty anime
