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

[negativlad]

Considering all the moves they changed drastically from the base games for Arceus (like Flamethrower being nerfed again down to 80 with 10pp and Stealth Rock simply being.. stealth rocks), I'm not really surprised. Probably better for the movesets to be replaced than to have the transfer rejected outright.

 

[whatever I feel like]

Playing through Legends Arceus right now and the game has some blatant N64 trees. Why did they put them in again after the uproar last time?

Cus Pokémon fans have stockholm syndrome and since the franchise is a multimedia juggernaut no matter the uproar it's too big of a brand to falter?

 

[Executive Petrel]

Was he ever a big pokemon guy?

There's also the pocketmons websites he made all the way back in 1999.

Chris would also dress up as Ash Ketchum and go to TCG tournaments at a bookstore when he was in high school.

There's also this hilarious clip where he got himself a pokeball pro controller for LGP/LGE
I always asked myself what kind of person would pay 50 Bucks for a useless Controller just because it has a "Wem" inside it, this video answered my question.

Pokemon is a money printing machine no matter if the games are good or shit.

Fuck yeah, caught a shiny Geodude.

"Wem"

"Wem" shows that Chris still thinks spelling names backwards is always brilliant.

Fuck yeah, caught a shiny Geodude.

Must've been really lucky there.

The only shiny I ever saw in over 20 years - that wasn't the red Gyarados - was a green Zubat.

Pokemon Scarlet huh....hopefully I'll be able to do a commercial for them. Colin won't mind.

Case in point: BDSP are the best selling Pokemon remakes.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

hey @RomanesEuntDomus

I forget where, but Pokemon seems to be liked among the "Kurzgesagt" staff.

(They are the people who make those science-related animations with birbs.)

they want more control over movesets

So no "mind reader + sheer cold" Articuno?

Why is Vivillon so goddamn cute?

 

[Bunny Tracks]

I know it's Japan, and they don't see the number 666 as Westerners do, but I'm still mad that the 666th Pokemon wasn't some kind of scary Dark-type, or something.

Spoiler: Or this little guy

I like Vivillon. Mine is a Garden pattern but I've been collecting as many forms as possible before resorting to cheating to get the rare ones and the Pokeball one. I got the Fancy one legit when it came out.
Or the other way around. I don't remember.

Fuck yeah, caught a shiny Geodude.

And I just now got a shiney Buneary. Shame that line is so shit, there's no way he's making my big six.

In terms of design or combat ability?

Design, I have no clue about combat ability but they're just normal type, right?

There's not much of an established meta for Arceus because there's no PvP and you can just power through every fight in the game pretty easily with any super effective one-two Agile Style-Strong Style punch. In the other games, Mega-Lopunny is great. Lopunny is absolute trash.
