EFFORTPOST New Pokemon game was announced today, libertarians aren't happy.

A new Pokemon game got announced today, so I decided to do something that I haven't done since the last time a new Pokemon game was announced- go browse /vp/. Somehow, people were surprised that the game series that hasn't had a good entry since 2014 looks like dogshit.

Let's talk about what's in the name first- the Pokemon! Right now, the only ones that have been revealed are the starters.

Personally, I feel very neutral. They look soulless and corporate, just like the Pokemon franchise itself.

Now, what does /vp/ have to say about them?

>literal blue helmet

>Let's be honest, if these were posted here everyone would call them garbage fakemons. How many fricking cat pokemon do we need?

>Let's be honest, I've started sticking toothpicks down my urethrae

Personally, I got into sounding with the stylus of my DSi back in 2011.

>This can't be real, these starters look absolutely shit.

>This is so weird, these designs are so simple in some places and so over the top in others, kinda looks like something out of a blender.

Most of the other discussion surrounding the starters is either "DUCKBROS WHERE YOU AT?" or schizos trying to prove/debunk various theories involving the starters. "ALLIGATORS ARE RELATED TO SNAKES AND IT'S THE SWAHILI YEAR OF THE SNAKE SO THIS PROVES ZODIAC THEORY!" and shit like that. I would have posted interesting examples if there were any.

The intellectual discussion surrounding this trailer has to do with the new region. We don't know its name yet, but we do know this- it's not!Spain.

Just realized that I haven't brought up the games' names yet, wow.

First reply:

>Violet, Franco only brought misery to Spain.

Wow, 4chan not immediately rushing to support fascism? Never thought I would see the day.

>Scarlet, Franco brought a golden age to spain

>Preordering 14 copies of Scarlet right now

>Viva Franco

>If you pick Violet, you're a communist

Nevermind.

>they gonna ignore Portugal and make the game 90% Spain. meu Deus vou ficar triste....

>it will be a blend of portuagl and spain. And thats fine as long as it isn't south america

>Why are Portustrags and LATAM trying so hard? Its obvious the region is based in fricking Spain, do you guys really need the representation that much?

Ooh, is this mutual hatred between Spaniards and Portuguese I sense? Is it time for /r/2Iberian4You?

If you've read this far, you're probably thinking, "Pokemon fans are surprised that a children's game is shitty, and I'm surprised that they have internet connections in Iberia. What made this rdrama.net worthy?"

My dear reader, this is because the whole time, I have been skirting around the most important part of any Pokemon games: the female character designs.

And boy, are they something.

>coomers we lost

>You wouldn't even be able to tell who is the boy and who is the girl if it weren't for the hair.

>are these the youngest looking protags they ever made?

Are they dumbing down the games even more to seek an even younger audience or they are marketing it to pedos now?

>why do they look so generic?

>Yo kai watch ruined pokemon

Yo-Kai Watch is the better series.

>It's like they're actively trying to make them as unfappable as possible

>Girl would look good if her shorts were tighter.

>Worst protagonists by far, they look like Route 1/2 NPCs.

As someone who always self-inserted as Youngster Ben, I'm not complaining.

>Normal fellas win this round but we'll be back. This is Pokemon. Coomers always come out on top.

>Alright, so Pokemon is fricking dead.

It was a nice ride, you guys.

shorts on the girl

>frick off

>Those are the worst protagonist design ever. The shota is kinda cute but so goddam uninspired.

>this is horrible

>Wokestrags won. Trainers are now basically unisex.

There are some dissenters.

>Am I r-slurred or did they make her stupidly sexy?

>I think she's pretty cute

They're wrong.

Japanese fans have also had some things to say about these designs.

I'm surprised with how few are pedophilic in nature.

Now, some of you might be wondering, "Is how attractive the 10 year old player characters are really that big of a deal to Pokemon fans? There's no way that they're all p-dophiles." Allow me to show two average threads from /vp/.

/vp/ should not be a blue board.

Now currently, due the games only being announced today, there's not much material for drama creation. If Gen 9 is going to be anything like Gen 8, Nintendo will make a big announcement in June that causes flame wars hotter than the debate.
