r/Pokemon is a goldmine rightnow
1 2019-11-11 by refugeeinaudacity
The new pokemon games are a perfect example of a company shooting themselves in the foot and then doubling down. The datamine of the leaked game is coming out, and literally every new piece of info is controversal and dumb.
For example they just removed around 200 moves from the game for no reason. My personal favorite is that they removed hidden power, which is not only an important move for competitive, but it leaves the pokemon Unknown unable to learn ANY move.

Hello.
You are receiving this message because you posted in defense of Donald Trump. I no longer provide individual responses on this matter. It has been my experience that Trump supporters are universally incapable of accepting verifiable truths about him and, by extension, themselves, thus rendering discussion pointless and, therefore, a waste of time.
I wish you all the best in your ongoing battle with reality.
Yours respectfully, a logical person.

My favorite part is how they removed a bunch of Pokémon and ruined every child's dream of 'catching them all'. The Pokemon die-hards that have been following every generation for like 20 years now can finally go get a job and start working on their 401(k)

No, those guys get it. Why shackle yourself to a mouthy foid until she gets bored and runs off with your kids when you can do whatever you want? It would be better if they were into motorcycles or something, but even being a gaymer dweeb is a step above being another one of society's footstools.
1 Cassandra_Nova 2019-11-11
I mean, you talk like this, so I don't think getting with a woman in a happy and fulfilling relationship is a real risk for you
1 jubbergun 2019-11-11
What came first, the chicken or the egg? If divorce rates are any indicator, women, who initiate the majority of divorces, don't want happy and fulfilling relationships. That's not surprising because the only thing women know they want for sure is an opportunity to bitch about something. There has never been a creature so pampered and ungrateful as the modern American foid.
1 Cassandra_Nova 2019-11-11
Why do I feel like you've never spoken to a human woman?
1 jubbergun 2019-11-11
Because for some reason you think your sassy "you could never get a woman"/virgin/incel commentary is the sort of insult that will wound me deeply? It's amazing how upset and vicious foids get when you point out why they suck and you're right about it.
I'd love to stay and chat, but there's a young lady with daddy issues that I need to meet for drinks later, and I require a shower and shave.

Takeaway: Man up and make something of yourself (education, career, etc.) and divorce becomes much less likely. And be thankful that you have extra time to do this as a male, instead of having to get married by 30 like a woman. And don't spend too much time being mad online or you will become an unironic misogynist, which is a loser trait.

The point being that takes about 10 hours tops and you have people drooling about so many hours dumped into this game
1 watermark1917 2019-11-11
BotW is very gameplay driven. However, the difficulty gets shot as soon as you learn how to craft hearty ingredients, and also the narrative is incredibly weak. Nearly as soon as you get attached to the heroes, the story is over and their arc comes to an end. I found myself trying to drag things out as much as possible because I liked the game, but there just wasn't enough to do.
It is way better than most open world games though, like the content that is there is high quality. In contrast to the typical open world experience, which is lots of very very low quality content. However it is no Witcher 3. Which is literally hundreds of hours of content of godly quality. Like I'm not even close to exploring all I want to with that game and I'm hundreds of hours deep in it.

I'm always surprised grown ups still buy those games. I mean I played Pokemon past when I was age appropriate, but I played for competitive reasons. Not for those God awful stories, and the actual game was waaay to fucking easy, like, it was clearly meant for kids. The Pokemon adult demographic must be the same that spends $100s on mobile games.

1 WholesomeDrama 2019-11-11
surely they did this because they agreed that every special attacker having access to every type is kinda boring design, and they will supplement this decision with lots of creative and thought-out additions to various pokemon's movesets, taking potential meta problems like ferrothorn into account 😎
1 TaysSecondGussy 2019-11-11
Of course.
I’m somewhat convinced that they just want to do away with anything competitive about their games entirely.
1 TouchFIuffyTaiI 2019-11-11
Welp, my anti-hazard espeon set is dead. Thanks GF, you made one of my favorite pokemon even harder to use, the true theme of the series.
HP is so good for rounding out sets, and isn't high enough BP to be overbearing. It saved a lot of pokemon that would be held down by bad coverage. What the fuck is GF even thinking, they reduced the usability of a significant portion of pokemon for no good reason.
