To be fair I can't think of any Pokémon game I liked for the story, apart from Sun and maybe Black.
Dylan Smith
Nothing
Aaron Wood
Why? Stories in video games are fun
Jace James
There isn't a single good game in existence that has ever relied on a story and still turned up good. Every single one you might be able to name will be trash, make no mistake.

That is the stupidest statement I've ever heard in my life. I can at least back up what I said, but this is beyond retarded.

You just have different tastes. That's fine but also disappointing. PMD games are a lot of fun and really enjoyable.
Mainline Pokemon and PMD titles are not even close to similar in terms of storytelling though. Mainline Pokemon games don't have much time put into the characters or creating plot twists and the like. Black/White and Sun/Moon were the only ones that even attempted such.
PMD games have always been pushing story hard and to a much more extreme degree.

Tetris
Carson Barnes
The PMD games all start out very slowly. But when shit gets moving, it never stops.
Gabriel Rodriguez
No, tetris is repetitive and casual tier trash
Jaxson Barnes
Tetris is shit though

Chase Roberts
Same, I never care about the story. I just want the gameplay to be fun.

>that PMD webcomic
Jonathan Nguyen
There's a webcomic?
Eli Clark
Is that an edit or a new mechanic since the dialga/palkia mystery dungeon
Josiah Flores
not him but i think he's talking about that PokemonXD/PMD crossover
started as a fanfic, became a webcomic
Aiden Davis
New mechanic
A very minor mechanic at that. Basically instead of having Hoopa as a normal recruit, you get an item that you can use to summon him as an ally, only you won't be able to control him like you would other party members when exploring. He's basically an escort Pokemon you can call upon through item usage.
Austin Gomez
Mewtwo a shit

You're not a story person. That's all it is.
Some people love experiencing stories, some people don't.

VN are not games.
Isaiah Murphy
Because you want to fucking play, not watch or listen to something.
You want to live an adventure, not see someone telling you a story.
Jonathan Butler
keep telling yourself that.
Zachary Davis
To add to that he was absolute shit originally due to his move pool. Fortunately you are allowed to change his moves and make him useful.
Hunter Moore
They have more gameplay elements than walking simulators or anything by Telltale.
Caleb Miller
Walking Simulators are not games.
Nolan Peterson
Sure, keep just making the list of what counts as a game smaller. Let's just remove anything that doesn't have microtransactions and lootboxes from the list of "real games".
Blake Sullivan
Are you retarded? Of course VN are games, I keep them in my "games" folder.
Levi Robinson
Man, this reminded me how much I hate Super Mystery Dungeon. I cannot finish that shit
Jacob Kelly
>Let's just remove anything that doesn't have microtransactions and lootboxes from the list of "real games".
Well, you can do it if you want, but I didn't say that. But, of course, VN aka manga with the ocasional "choose your own adventure" prompt are not videogames.
Leo Wilson
>VN aka manga with the ocasional "choose your own adventure" prompt are not videogames.
You clearly don't play VN. Modern VN have actual gameplay in them, see Danganronpa which has everything from platforming segments to racing and fishing games in it, and a full board and and RPG system for the post-game content, all on top of the trial gameplay and investigation gameplay. Yes, it's still a Visual Novel with all of that in it.

Here's a better crop, user.
Just don't ask me why or how I got this.
