It could be argued it's a similar reasoning to why people go out and see bad movies that they know will be bad, but it doesn't hold nearly as much water. With a bad movie, you just buy a ticket for around $10 in most cases, sit down and watch something for a couple hours give or take. For a game though, you could pay from $10 (shovelware) to $60+ (AAA titles), and spend anywhere from an hour to an entire weekend's worth of time and have to actively play it (which could be an absolute slog for a number of reasons like bad controls and such) as opposed to just watching something.

The point is that spending over 40 bucks for a game that you perfectly know well it's going to be garbage is some level of masochism imo, and that's also the kind of situation where you see people in buyer's remorse who try to downplay the game's many faults (something that wont happen with a bad movie). I've been used to Steam sales where you get a lot of good shit for 10 bucks and less, which is great as long as you dont buy by impulse and leave them rot in your library tab forever. It's less likely on consoles but once again there are still video games much better than Pokemon Switch on the Nintendo system that could cure your boredom for the weekend
 
Do we need to break out this again? I WOULD LIKE TO CLARIFY THAT I THINK THIS ARGUMENT IS FUCKING STUPID.

Dude after witnessing so many series wind up in the shitter or dead, you have to ask yourself, what's one more?

There's already a bunch of alternative RPGs out there.

As Arthas's dead gay nigger father said "No King Rules Forever" right before Blizzard released Cataclysm which was the beginning of the end for Warcraft and for Blizzard itself.

You can get "muh fun" out of known terrible games if you wish so, but it's recommended to get those titles used or pirated and not give your money on the first weeks following the launch. Just to not enable the idea that game companies can continue to fuck you over even more and get away with it thanks to blind corporatism.

The fact that, despite made up of a few megabytes of data, the gameboy & ds Pokemon cartridges have more content and are more stable than Pokemon Switch (a 10GB modern game no less) is quite telling too
 
You have Tales of Vesperia, Atelier Ryza, Tales of berseria, Dragon Quest 11, The Mana Collection, Xenoblade2+Torna, Nier Automata, Trails of Cold Steel 1-3, Disgaea 4 Complete, Disgaea 1 and Disgaea 5, Final Fantasy 12 Zodiac Age, Persona 5.

"But those are anime jrpgs, unlike pokemon which is totally not one."

I shit you not more people than you think reason like this.
 
Honestly at this point...

I just don't care.

Even with all the data dump, evidence, constant bitching - It takes a toll on a guy. Like...

No joke, five months of near endless bitching and moaning just makes you wanna go "Oh shut up!"

And I'm not just talking about the fantards, I'm talking about the idiots on both sides of this 'controversy'.

Also, I know i'm probably late about this, but:


Yeah, that's an actual whitehouse petition.

I mean, it's probably a joke, but it's hard to tell now-a-days.
 
I will never understand that obsession to buy a terrible game entry because of mere boredom (and/or it's the latest thing) when there is plenty of good vidya around.
I mean I wouldn't blame some one but I would totally wait for a price drop if I was buying a game to take a piss out of. The only type of buy I cant defend is when people use it as cope for depression or some shit because at that point they don't need vidya to feel better, they need therapy or some communication with loved ones.

yeah its probably a meme, if you think it was bad before that was before this got a trending hastag, this shit at least has a month of arguing left of it, your best hope is game freak issuing a statement or something responding to this sometime after release because otherwise, this is just how Pokemon hype cycles will be.

Dumb petitions come out for everything nowadays, for every person who signed that one for shits and giggles there are 1000 people crying about it on Twitter taking it seriously.

It is very obviously a joke. The people taking it seriously on Twitter are not joking, though.

24 hours later and holy shit lmao

IGN was the same publication that gave ORAS a 7.8 for "too much water" but looks past the apparent flaws in this game and gives it a 9.3, and people in the comments are mad that the chick in the video said that this was the "best pokemon game to date", which, even if you're in support of the dex cut, there's ZERO way that's true, in the same universe as Black and White, their sequels, and HGSS.
