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

It looks okay. Nothing mind blowing as of yet though I'm sure that'll change if the developers get enough funding.

Is there combat involving the actual monsters themselves? All I'm seeing is a third person shooter that happens to have a bunch of Pokémon lookalikes either using guns or acting as bodyshields for the player.

I'm not saying the concept of Pokémon actually being enslaved to humanity is bad, there's a lot of ways to go about it, but they could've at least shown some gameplay relating to monster battles. I do admit that seeing the monsters actually interact with the environment is refreshing for once, like how the water types are tending to crops and the electric types are powering something up.

Also, is that a white Nessa near the end?

Lmao laxidaze and Palworld both use some of the same store assets like that blue creature at the end of both trailers.
They show the back with some lights strapped to it in Laxidaze 0:53 and show it from the front in Palworld 1:23.

So you're telling me that they're asset flips?

The Lapas/Luiga hybrid also was shown on the first part of the Laxidaze Teaser looks a lot different then the Gyarados-looking Leviathan on Palworld.



Must be just the similar colouring but I don't think they're asset flips

Of the two I'd rather try Palworld if nothing else than mixing Pokemon with anime girls and assault rifles is hilarious to me.

Still have no idea what the arceus game is even going to be like. Is it similar to SWSH?

From the looks of it, the open world pokemon game people have been clamoring for. Rather or not it will be good is up in the air, though.

I feel like I'm in the minority regarding the Pokemon fandom's long-standing desire to see an official Pokemon MMO. I prefer to single player RPGs to fully online games. and the general volatility of the fandom in recent years has sort of convinced me that a proper MMO would be far too chaotic and the general player experience could be easily ruined by elitists and smogonfags for anyone to enjoy such a game casually, unless it was some sort of limited PvE deal like what we saw in the Wild Area in SwSh but on a region-wide scale, which just... sounds terrible. Maybe Legends: Arceus will iron out the kinks, but I'm not holding my breath.

Also, does anyone remember those old fanmade Pokemon MMOs created with Gen 3 assets back in the late aughts? I remember sinking a bit of time into Pokemon Crater and Pokemon Global before they shut down for one reason or another. They were by no means perfect but they definitely blew my mind as a preteen who was disappointed by Diamond and Pearl.

I played Pokemon Revolution a year or two ago. It let's you travel across multiple regions, but I never bother getting past the 1st.

Looks like that, and on tumblr, a post I saw with this trailer had MULTIPLE comments how she is a dealbreaker cause yikes sweety thats waycist.

Also, according to same post, that thing is by people who make just a trailer or 1 beta of something and then ditch an entire idea.

That game was tedious as hell.

As was stated earlier: "then their customers would have no reason to buy their games anymore"

What a way to stir some ancient memories. I put a ton of time into Pokemon Crater when I was younger, I still remember my starter was a Pidgey.

Pokemon Crater

Heh, Pokemon Crater... now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time.

I remember being addicted to the site as a kid - so much so my parents would shut off the internet at 10 PM to force me to go to bed. Mudkip was my starter - though if you were to make me play the game now I'd probably pick Turtwig instead.

They had some interesting concepts too - like metallic pokemon, which were sort of meant to be rare traits (but not really because the encounter rates were ridiculously high for things like shinies) that looked cool. Makes me wonder why the games haven't added things like albino or melanistic pokemon yet (though that would require effort and Game Freak is allergic to the idea of effort).

Sounds unnecessary when shinies and regional variants already exist at this point.

Just like how mega forms sounds unnecessary now that Dynamax is a thing. Or am I getting that backwards.

My only memory of those was accidentally clicking on an ad on their website and an alarm sound blasting through my speaker, which caused elementary school me to run screaming for my mother.

I got New Pokemon Snap less than a week ago as a present and it's a cute game. It's making me appreciate some Pokemon I otherwise don't think about, and really love the ones I already liked. Pyukumuku sitting in Pelipper's mouth is so cute! The interactions between other Pokemon is something I wish they put into the games, and not just as tidbits in the Pokedex.

Anyways, I've been thinking about what team I'm going to use for Brilliant Diamond. I'm going to start out with Turtwig and use Pokemon I've never used before besides that. Bastiodon is my only other guaranteed team member. Any recommendations for possible team members, assuming it's the Platinum Pokedex?

Bibarel is pretty fun with Simple. Swords Dance gives it +4 to attack, and it can learn both Quick Attack and Aqua Jet.

/vp/ is a huge mess right now and it's hilarious. A bunch of Discord retards are spamming the board with gen v hate threads and none of the jannies are doing anything. Now people are derailing the bait threads with fat fetish art and fart pics as well as one post of Drasna taking a shit. It’s still up.

Gen v fans live rent free in everyone’s heads. Lewchube also made a low effort bait post on Twitter and only a small handful of gen v fans took it seriously despite what he thinks.
