Go into detail, I love to hear stories of people getting verbally upset when you criticize shit, is he a retail cuck?

He was saying that people don't know how hard it is to make games and that their expectatiosn were too high and that everyone complaining was a manchild who was expecting Breath of The Wild.

I asked if he played Xenoblade 2 because that's the best RPG system and the bar to measure all switch RPGs with and he recoiled and said he doesn't play anime games.

It's why I don't want him messing with the server rack whenever a problem comes up.
 
Don't worry, Pokéfags! Senseis Yamamoto and Kusaka will save Gen 8!

Right?

This has made my decision as to which starter I'm using. I like the Scorbunny line's designs way better than Grookey and Sobble's final evolutions, plus I already have an affinity for Fire types.

What starters are you guys picking?

I’m gonna probably go with scorbunny too, but it’ll be a few days due to me driving to Atlanta for a fighting game tournament. Anyone know if they put a deer pokemon in this one? For some reason the furry bait is making me want to name some of the mons after characters from Beastars.

I wish Digimon had a new game coming, because right now it would be their time to shine.

It would also be funny/poetic justice.

I could go through the second round of monster rpg wars, the last real contender for popularity was yokai watch so it feels like pokemon has been uncontested since that faded out, pokemon has rested on its lorals for too long

Monster Rancher is supposedly coming back next year but IIRC it's going to be Android/IOS bullshit and not a real game.

Personally I would like a Dragon Quest Monsters game that uses unreal 4 just like 11 did.

Cyber Sleuth Complete just launched on Steam (along with the Nintendo Switch). It's a port of a Vita game that was originally ported to the PS4 as well. It's essentially a mix of SMT Nocturne (the character artist worked on Devil Survivor and Digimon shares many of the same themes), Pokemon Colosseum, and the better Digimon seasons.

While it doesn't have every Digimon, Complete Edition adds in the Hacker's Memory Digimon into the original and essentially merges the two games. It then makes up for not having every Digimon with an interesting story, animations on par with Colosseum/XD and older console Pokemon games, smooth 60fps gameplay, and a memorable soundtrack from Masafumi Takada (who worked on a lot of notable games). Sadly the English translation is low budget and it shows at times, but it's easy to overlook and is nothing compared to the trashfire of Sword and Shield. It's pretty much that console Pokemon game you've always wanted but never got.
 
The general attitude on /vp/ back in Spring was that the games would be soulless cash grabs. Stopped paying attention for a while, heard about the dex cuts and I legitimately thought I was being trolled. I'm genuinely disappointed with this franchise and I'm just sticking to the old games.
I never understood the sentiment of "they ruined my childhood" until now. I feel old. It's less of a feeling that the games are getting bad, and more of a revelation that they may have always been soulless corporate nonsense.

Yeah I've got both on PS4.

They do scream budget and neither game did particularly well IIRC.
 
I think what a lot of people miss with the whole dex cut argument isn't necessarily the people who want to catch them all, it's more about people upset they aren't able to use their favorite Pokemon like they've always been able to. I think that's a major part of that, the nostalgia factor of those maybe one or two Pokemon you really loved being sent to the gutter.
I think Game Freak severely undervalued the nostalgia factor that helped them limp through the last few generations. No matter how bad stuff got, you could always get the Pokemon you enjoyed most. Hell, for me, I always made sure the Treecko line was part of any playthrough I made, be it the main storyline or the postgame, simply because I beat all of Ruby with just my starter. It made the elite four a real fucking slog, a complete accomplishment because I was a dumb kid who didn't actually plan my movesets. Having the entire pokedex in every game in the past was betting on nostalgia, and now that the rose tinted goggles are off, people can see that everything around them is shit.
Even if you are the luckiest guy in the world and can successfully assemble a team with all your favorites, you probably still have at least one friend who is bummed out that a lot of their favorites haven't made it, which hurts your own experience. The dex cut is really one of the most awful moves for the franchise, and that applies for everything from casual to hardcore players.

It's starting to spread to people questioning other Nintendo franchises now.

All those Breath of The Wild 10/10's are now suspect because of IGN's Pokemon Review

I feel as if I have been vindicated.
