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

It always was unless the game had pokemon contests in.

Stupid they put an easy fix to the trade issue in Arceus and then reverted it for ZA
I don't want to trade with anyone, its tedious and nobody enjoys it.

All they did was port a rom and millions were made. We’re never getting mainline Pokemon games on Nintendo Online

Playing games on a subscription is fucking gay. I'd rather buy something and """own""" the game forever than pay a subscription for a bunch of ROMs I don't care about except maybe a dozen. It cost the same for one years subscription of NSO as it does to buy these re-releases.

Not that you need to pay for any of this. AAAAARRRRRRGGGGHHH!!!!

I hate that the Link Cord as an in game item has existed since the first Mystery Dungeon games as a way to bypass Trades, and has never made its way into the Mainline Games.

I get why - originally so they could sell about $0.10 of wiring for $10, now so they can sell Online Subscriptions - but I hate it.

And people wonder why Nintendo keeps doing this. I can’t even blame them, it’s free money.

Back in the day, trading made sense. Considering there were two seperate versions of the game that had their own specific pokemon, it gave kids the incentive to actually interact with one another (which was one of the points of Pokemon in the first place) and back then before schools turned into the Orwellian mini-prison hellscape that exist today, kids absolutely brought their GameBoys to school and played with each other, specifically during lunch period.

The thing is, the Pokemon of today isn't a gigantic fad like it was when it was first birth'd to the world, so you don't really see people getting worked up over it like you did before (at least not the videogames.... the cards, however, are a completely different beast all together). No to mention whatever Pokemon you want you can just find on whatever global trading online system they have set up, unless you want one of those trade evos on your team, then you have to actually find some people online that will even give you the time of day and pray that they don't pull a dick move by not giving your pokemon back.

Pitch Black preorders selling out really fast compared to Perfect oder (shelf rotting) and Chaos rising which is basically as doodoo as PO but at least has Ninja frog as the chase.
I guess this is the power of not having 90% of the cards shown to be absolute dogshit before the preorders open because Mega Darkrai is just as ugly as Mega Zygard and I doubt either have huge fans to want that chase.

I wish PO was shelf rotting here. I actually like the set but gambling addicts will buy it out because they have no self control or willpower.

One issue I have with champions is that move distribution is way too broad, especially for how centralized the current format is. Things like weather are so critical to most gameplay, that counters are basically required, and move distribution makes it so they can appear in completely unpredictable places. I saw a clip of someone running Sunny Day Garchomp for example. It doesnt even make sense for Garchomp to learn Sunny Day, and in a best 1/1 format its borderline uncompetetive to have such drastic gamechanging plays nobody could realistically predict. This should be less of an issue as items and strategies are reintroduced like terrain, but its kindve frustrating currently.

The Pokémon company starts to pander to African-Americans.

I love being milked like the goyim I am! Thank you goytendo, very cool! Throw in some nigger worship and you've got yourself a deal!

SOLD!

Does this mean Jynx is allowed back into the Pokemon mainstream?

Bring back Mega Jynx, then! The return of Mega Evolutions this generation and the bringing of new Mega Evolutions would make this a great opportunity.
