>>59686337Who gives a shit, barely even a Pokemon game.
>Shill it in the anime>kill it right afterWhat the fuck
Champions will be gone ion a year or 2 as well they defo won't be earning the up keep now Ai supered the cost of servers.
Pokemon Masters must be surviving off the sheer power of having everyone's waifus and husbandos
>>59686337Should have been champions that died
never played it but I know that a lot of anons here play it.Rest in peace, Unite
>>59686343>Likonime flopped so hard it killed Unite
>>59686355>>59686347They can't end Champions, how would they hold Worlds?
>>59686353MasterSex
they did it to themselves with the changes to how you obtain pokemonrip bozos
>>59686343>>59686364Those events are two months apart.Why are you retards so fixated on shoving the anime into every discussion? Unite got shut down because it was handled bad and had terrible direction to get people to buy things, simple as that.
>>59686374>two monthsThe anime episode aired in June.
Was fun until you touched ranked
>>59686376Thats makes the insertion of the anime into this even more retarded. Unite can't keep its players entertained and they bailed. Live service games will always dimish and vanish through this first and foremost.
>>59686379>Was fun until you played against people instead of botsanon...
>>59686337Why is anyone surprised Pokemon never commits to anything, they're killing Pokemon Bank the biggest reason to keep selling copies of their old games so you can play and experience them and afterwards trade your Pokemon into the newer games to enjoy them thereThey would've abandoned the card game eventually if it didn't blow again to be this financial boom in a time of economic crisis
>>59686337wait did the recent PHP exploit kill this too?
>>59686388no they just kept making stupid fucking decisions that made players leave the game so they made even stupider fucking decisions trying to scam money out of people that caused more players to leave the game
RIP Pokémon Unite 2021-2027
how the hell do you fuck up pokemon moba so badly??
*kills your game*
>>59686409It’s Pokémon. When have they NOT managed to fuck something up?
>>59686337Maybe it would've faired better if it had a respectable posterboy instead of the soccer shitmon.
>>59686337Deserved, and they still have not revealed the devs behind Zard nerfs that killed the game
>>59686337kek glad i didn't invest into this dogshit predatory p2w scami already laid out what they need to do to make the game palatable, but it seems like every single mobile game designer is a piece of shit who just wants to make money and then shut their game off in a couple years- improved roster to feel like an actual MOBA- remove monetization from the mons themselves- monetize cosmetics instead- remove botted matches- balance the fucking game, it is PVP for fucks saketoo bad, it's way too late nowlaugh at all the cucks who spent their money into this dogshit
>>59686337Rest in piss, one of the worst "Pokemon" games I've ever had the displeasure of playing.
>>59686353Coomer's outcome is infinity, but amount of them are few.
>>59686343>>59686364According to Iwane, anime episodes are produced at least a year before their release.
>>59686368PHP was under maintenance around the world and Champions mainframe is run by PHP.
>>59686337LMAO>>59686355Oh don't worry that's coming eventually too
>>59686337>Ruin your game with shittier and shittier updates >Kill your gameplay by making learning moves linear>Make buying new Pokemon shittier>Laughable balance patches>Cater to EeveefagsYOU GET WHAT YOU FUCKING DESERVE
wonder what p2w predatory dogshit slop they will announce at the upcoming poopmon day
>>59686502in my opinion, eevee should just have been given the ability to evolve into any eeveelution depending on the move it chooses to learn at the beginningthis way, there is still some uncertainty when a player picks eevee, but once the opponent sees you use the move, you know what they will evolve intoit was disappointing waiting months, just for one of the roster spots to be taken by an eeveelution
>>59686337It's either corporate downsizing to maintain illusion of profit or in February we are getting announcement of Pokemon Unit 2, Blizzard-style.
MAN ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS FOLLOW THE DAMN TRAIN CJ
I think I'll download it now and try it for the first time
>>59686412I'll miss playing as them
>>59686337>Pokemon Cafe outlived this game
KWAB.These games are all horrible
>>59686565what like all of pokemon
>>59686561isn't pokemon cafe also going through something? they put out a letter saying they were going to rework it ANOTHER timelike a re-remix
>>59686412>>59686540When did this epidemic start? I remember a few years ago Comfey was the mascot of Worlds and it makes me wonder if they saw how many 'people' were using it in Unite and assumed it was actually popular.But also I think Worlds was in Hawaii that year.
>>59686561Somehow not surprising.
>>59686337To all phonefags: all mobile Pokemon and Nintendo games are temporary, besides real moneymakers like GO.I bet other mobile games like Cafe Remix and even Master Sex are next on the chopping block.Friendly reminder to always keep your own physical copies of games you can play on consoles and digital copies you can play on emulators, because they can never take those way from you, unlike mobileshit where they phase out everything, shut down all the servers and then you're left behind and stuck never being able to play those games again.>>59686368>They can't end Champions, how would they hold Worlds?TPCi is just gonna have to swallow their pride, backtrack and admit failure because they know deep down it was all a mistake and that Champions is a forgettable snoozefest that doesn't generate enough profits, compared to main series games that gain a lot more hype and attention.
>>59686337Pokemon Masters account trolling
>>59686597Somehow, Cafe Remix is eternal despite its relatively low playerbase and revenue to the other games.I'd bet Pocket goes first somehow since it seems to be on a downhill slope
>>59686605Wait until you guys find out what the pinned news post on Pokemon Home is
can't they at least make an offline client and sell it for $30 or something
>>59686364Kekek
>>59686472you realise they already did a maintenance for that?
>>59686608My best guess that Cafe remix doesn't leech much server cost than other live-service games.
Lmfao some Pokemon anniversary this has been
>>59686368Ideally return VGC to the main games. Given how lazy GF is they might just say "eh, no more battling."
>>59686637>Given how lazy GF is they might just say "eh, no more battling."you retards say the dumbest shit
>pokemon master sex still alive even though barely anyone plays it>pokemon unite with its huge playerbase dieswhat gives???
>>59686637Will never happen, They need vgc to shill CHARIZARD.
>>59686641They already dropped battling and trading in both Legends games and they dropped the GTS from the main line games. There is no limit to how little effort they're not willing to put in.
>>59686644i think it has something to do with roco kingdom since it's made by tencent's other subsidiary studio and its beta test has begun todayi am assuming nintendo and tpc want to distance themselves from tencent now
>>59686649there was battling in Z-A and trading in both, you don't know what you're talking aboutworld championships is free money for them, they aren't gonna drop the main draw no matter how much your brain defaults to "hurr durr GF bad"
No shit it's being shut down the devs are all incompetents and have been since day 1, Gamefreak themselves could have probably balanced a better game.
>>59686644>master sex>whales will pay for their husbandos and waifusthere's your answerthey shut off co-op battles recently though.https://pokemonmasters-game.com/en-US/announcements/Other_8070_5W_1they say it's to balance how they add new content but idk
>>59686653holy shit that trainer's face reminds me of pokemon's style
>>59686649I really hate how people just proudly say the wrongest shit on the modern internet
>>59686347>>59686368Champions isn't even a better battle simulator than PBR on Wii. I'm sure the few hundred playing competitive will manage with something else.
I kept occasionally coming back to it, then they did the retarded rework on how you get Pokémon contracts and stated they'll just do one moveset for new Pokémon from then on.Always hated how they overall did events and such too, having to close like 10 popups every time you open the game + spending 5 minutes completing quests that reward you with crumbs was exhausting
>>59686659Co op battles were a pointless gimmick nobody actually used.
>no genesect>game diesaha here's the problem
>>59686696>not enough TOASTERS
>>59686677This pic doesn't work of you've played showdown this year. Gen 9 is dead as hell and even random battles isn't all that popular. The global tiering admin is seemingly trying to kill everything.
Finally a stupid scoring moba game.lesson here is just make a real Pokemon MOBA seige the base kill the towers game.
>>59686433
>>59686597Even GO is not safe, desu.Reason why GO was "successful" only because Niantic on side was selling all the data to navigation system developers, including Israel military.With AI arms race making this kind of data collection much easier and relevant sides already having all the data they watn, GO outlived it's actual role.
>>59686337>>59686738
>>59686746>can't even play games without it being used for military bullshitSeto Kaiba would be disappointed
Good. Masters/Pocket/GO eos soon I hope
All the Unitefags really coming out as crab niggas
>>59686764why do you want that?
>>59686347On an unrelated note, I was setting up a Gliscor set for my nephew not long ago (haven't touched Champions myself since release) and the game still doesn't have the fucking toxic orb? Why would you even dropfeed items, for what purpose. If you don't care about megas you're literally better off battling on SV, what a joke of an app
I'm surprised Pokémon Masters EX has survived as long as it has after the developers issued an apology for how shit the game is
>>59686786That's because being able to acknowledge how shit the game is the first step to improving, instead of carrying on like it isn't shit and running the game into the ground
>>59686799>running the game into the groundMastersex did that anywaybut buckbroken jap whales keep it alive
>>59686661better than nu poopmon going with that awful uncanny artstyle
>yfw they announce Unite 2 on Pokemon Day>all the stuff from the Chinese version that never made it worldwide and a couple thousand coins or whatever currency >$29.99 price tag
>>59686813it's no wonder their birth rates are abyssmalall that money is going into predatory p2w garbage and gachaslop
so... this is where it ends huh? no more meowscarada skins... they were all making me cum buckets
>>59686815>paying for a mobalolalso, it's not like the game itself will improve without major changesfor starters, they need to have better and bigger rosterand then fucking balance the game instead of gatekeeping broken mons behind paywalls and then throwing pity bot matches your way after they humiliate you with matches against players who paid for the new broken mons
>>59686786It just had its 7th anniversary. Tons of time for things to change (often not for the better but still).
>>59686822gross fat indian pot belly on that cat
I'd honestly blame Timi(Unite devs) for why this game died.They are some of the laziest MOBA devs I had the dipleasure of sitting through.We never had a balance patch that radically changed how a pokemon played. Timi will only tweak a few numbers here and there, for fucks sake the closest thing we had to a pokemon rework was them changing Slyveons hyper voice arc to be slightly bigger.The majority of mons were left untouched some season 1 mons were never updated to keep up with the newer releases.There was also a period where when a new Pokemon would be released it would be the most broken thing in the game and it would be locked for paying players for a week. After said week they'll nerf that pokemon to the ground and allow f2ps to get it through the shop.
>>59686337>spend almost a decade playing the populist contrarian card instead of adding Pokemon with interesting movesets>dies L
>>59686353Look at pokemon shuffle mobile, it's almost unbelievable how long it's managed to survive. Over a decade old now and still running on a rotating content schedule
>>59686337surely this will bring back Dragalia Lost right?
>>59686843Unite died because it released unpopular update after unpopular update, not because of its roster. Every new Pokemon would be broken as hell for an entire patch cycle, and you'd have to wait a week to unlock them if you were f2p, they also made it worse for non-paying players in general over the years and got rid of currencies in a bid to get people to spend money.The roster pivoting from Eevee spam to legendary spam to starter spam probably didn't help stuff, but it's reductive to say Unite died because they didn't put in Hitmontop and Cradily or whatever Pokemon you wanted and not because of actual years of mismanagement coupled with a MOBA inherently being frustrating to play and bleeding players due to this. Then there's getting into how the hardcore moba audience would rather play a MOBA on their PC, stuff like Deadlock being out, etc etc.
>>59686831>The majority of mons were left untouched some season 1 mons were never updated to keep up with the newer releases.Did they ever buff Snorlax's passive?
>>59686677>Champions isn't even a better battle simulator than PBR on WiiNeither are mainline games. Basically you're saying kill off the only chance for Stadium style games to come back because they didn't graphics whore enough in this on. Be careful what you ask for.
>>59686860No, despite being a shillmon. But it did get indirectly buffed because berries would spawn in the middle now.
>>59686822Had a good run there. Now it's really just Cafe Remix left to give pokemon outfits.Meowscarada was also one of the most fun pokemon they made for Unite. Never got old seeing someone ult an illusion.
>>59686843Amazing they made a competitive mobaslop game yet made no effort to add any of the veggiesea pillars in the game.The chinese developers are super-out of touch.
>>59686337Just in time for people to pointlessly beg for their shitmon to appear in the up and coming Smash game soon.
>>59686870competitive viability =/= popularity, no one would divest resources to lando t or baracat
>>59686746>catch a pidgey>random child in the middle east gets murdered in the name of MAGA
>>59686875>competitive viability =/= popularityTell that to GF or TPC marketers when they give someone a broken ability or an ultra-viable learnset with reasonable stats
>>59686873S-Surely this will happen this time, right?
>>59686879you mean the same GF that didn't think aegislash wouldnt be that strong and had to nerf all of its stats the following generation? half of the competitive pokemon prior to gen ~8 or so were complete flukes. GF cant design for shit, and incineroar never caught on popularity wise despite them intentionally making it broken
>>59686883and yet Aegislash gets to appear anyways due to TPC marketing and prior clout anyways
>>59686823>they need to have better and bigger rosterI'm not arguing in Unite's favor, but I think character bloat is a big part of what kills these kind of games, from League to Overwatch. They just keep shoveling out characters and they dilute the games atmosphere, detract from existing characters, become derivative, and make returning to the game after a break feel like such a chore that most people won't bother. That's what makes TF2 so timeless; the characters. Would those characters be remembered at all if they added as many characters as Deadlock has now? I know Pokemon well enough that they could add 800 characters and I'd at least have an idea of how most work, but the average player won't.
>>59686746Wow, I just, I love my friends and I love my God and I love my country and, uh, God bless America I guess, what else can you say?
>>59686891The only reason people gave Unite the time of day was for the Pokemon.
>Unite is dead>remix is deadDamn, they better release more mobile shovelware if they don't want those pokemon directs to only be 10 minutes at best.
Palworld roco kingdom won, poketurd just keep losing lmao let it die nobody cares this crap series in 2026 it’s just embarrassing lol
>>59686786I checked gacha revenue, it’s still in the list, the merch sells too so not surprise
They keep releasing ugly unnapealing Pokemon, nobody cares nupokemon designs
i think is because roco kingdom hahahaha, They’re delusional if they expect to file another lawsuit and against Tencent.
>>59686368>They can't end Bank, how will they allow for transfers?
>>59686661God the Closed Beta for this has been really good so far
>>59686661I dont see it, it looks more like level 5 style, nupokemon looks like pixar shit
>duralodon was playable>other literally who and ugly shit like paldea starters tooKek not wonder flopped hard
Chadworld won, pokeflop just keep flopping
>>59686337Remember the dedicated direct this thing got?Remember the seethe at the fact that this thing was Chinese in nature and people hated it?Remember when the seethe magically went away and people pretended this game was good for years?Good riddance.
>>59686992This is the biggest reason shitent was the falloff point for unite. Broken bullshit for a month is whatever, it simply should never have been in the game
>live service game about the most profitable franchise in human history>still gets EoS'dHow do you fumble this hard?Are the Chinese really this stupid?
>>59686364>linokino so successful it killed a mobaSay "thank you linokino"
>>59687066>muh most profitable franchise memeselling merch and cards to scalpers
>>59686337I don't think you guys realized how big this is it, is the proof that something with Pokemon CAN STILL FAIL.
>>59687080Together we can do meme magick to destroy the franchise.
I'll tell you one thing, and I'm not ashamed to say it.My estimation of Tencent as an investor just fuckin' plummeted.
>>59687084We don't want to destroy the franchise, just punish TPC in the only place that hurts them (profits) so they finally put effort into mainline.
get fucked. Remember when they took a whole pokemon direct to show this chink crap?
>>59687080every pokemon spin onff are flops nothing new
>>59687088>so they finally put effort into mainline.This time for sure!
>>59686364Other way around. Unite flopped so hard that not even Liko's kino masterpiece could save it.
Uh, already scared by Roco Kingdom the true Pokémon killer?
poketrash can't stop losing
>>59687088How about boycotting the mainline games first?Flatout don't buy them or any product in relation to it? Or just no Pokemon in general till they are forced to acknowledge it?
>>59687180>How about boycotting the mainline games first?already happened and nothing happened
>>59687182Saying you don't like it is not a boycott.Literally don't buy them at all, period.How hard is it to simply skip an entry?
>>59687180pokekikes need to understand that that will never be a good; the damage is already done.nothing is going to fix gamefreak
>>59687128i also remember them having repeatedly take down and reupload the reveal trailer because it kept getting sagebombed. fucking idiots actually thought it was wise to leave comments on the first few times
>>59686353master dont die because people only cares human characters, it's all memes and porn for this franchise
>>59687080>I don't think you guys realized how big this is it, is the proof that something with Pokemon CAN STILL FAIL.good morning sir
>completely unplayableI thought end of service generally meant just no more content updates, that's rough. I have good memories of playing the game for the first month or two at launch
Tencent has already made its own Pokémon-style game and it's successful in china; there’s no need to ever use the Pokémon IP anymore
This sucks, i played this game everyday with friends and had a good time saying lot of shit in voicechat. I hope they announce Unite 2 or some shit.
>>59687172Would definitely play a pal moba
>>59687201I don't get it.
does anyone play magikarp jump?
>>59686343the anime is also kill.
>>59686387They don't want you to sell copies of their old games. Or at least have no reason to want you to. Bank surviving for nearly a decade after the console was deprecated is surprisingly generous.
>>59686509>eevee should just have been given the ability to evolve into any eeveelution depending on the move it chooses to learn at the beginningDon't ever bother trying to make up a mechanic for a moba again, retard.
good, nobody cares pkmn spin offs' they always flop
>>59686658the game was made in partnership with the same company that made honor of kings, the most profitable mobile game of all timeTPC/GF are the problem here
Pokémon UNITE is throwing a $1 million championship for a game it’ll shut down TWO DAYS later. 32 teams will compete in Tokyo on March 20-21, and the winners get an actual physical crown. The servers go dark on March 23.You could become the game’s final champion on Sunday and have nowhere to defend your title by Tuesday.That crown is literally going to outlive the game.
>>59687251Yeah, I think TPC shut it down because of Roco Kingdom. Funny enough, it happened on the very same day Roco Kingdom launched its beta..
>>59687088Says you
>>59686353Thank god for that. DeNA is one of these rare Jap devs that listens to feedback and rarely insist on fatal errors.Japs should just learn how to manage the game better. Yeah, I know the devs are Chinese (Timi Studio), but the publisher still pushed for more aggressive monetization. MOBA and Pokemon is a good combo, the fact the game is sunsetting is a black mark.Is this the moment people finally take Masters EX seriously and not just dismiss it for being a gacha?
>>59687180Who the fuck said I bought SV?
>>59686353I mean, yeah.No offense but "Pokemon focused on the human characters" is actually a premise that can carry a gacha game since trainers characterization tends to be very light and breezy. Cozy, for lack of a better word.
>check serebii for a laugh>front page is literally 100% entirely all mobile game crap with some music (?) collaboration stuff sprinkled here and thereWhat the fuck
>>59687291There's nothing else going on. No event giveaways, Champions gets updated so infrequently, and SV is just doing rerun events for the next year.Joe's life must be hell.
>>59686730Both ganes are dead honestly, they are 100% not getting any money from Champions
>>59686843Kek Rillashit
>>59687172PalChads keep fucking winning
>>59687295Gee, I wonder why?Perhaps they could start by adding more than 1 cosmetic per month?I still don't understand the impetus to cordon off VGC from the main games unless their plan is to place it in a retirement home and move the main series away from the legacy battle system to some shallow garbage like ZA.
>>59687303Don't worry once Champions goes EoS by the end of 2027, they'll sell the next mainline game on having online battles back in.
>>59687299
dead franchise nothing new
>>59687308I hate it because this is definitely what they're going to do when that shitty Champions dies
>>59686843This is cope. The roster and movesets are the only consistently competent thing in Unite. Every Pokémon in the game plays different with wide variation even within classes. >>59686855>starter spam Actually they’ve fairly conservative with starters. It just seems like spam because of the timin, Johto starters were added all at once for the 30th anniversary and Dirge and Duck were added to complete the Paldea trio for the collab with the anime.
>>59686337pokeslop
>>59687263>Thank god for that. DeNA is one of these rare Jap devs that listens to feedback and rarely insist on fatal errors.lmao Masters is trash nowadays and has been at its worst for the last ~1.5-2 years
>>59686958It's a game for pokemon fans, they don't care for the weaker playerbase of miserable westerners who hate every pokemon after [gen you played as a child]. Hence why they added Inteleon before a lot of starters from older gens, it's a super popular pokemon in the east.Besides, Unite had less popular pokemon from the beginning, like Crustle, it wasn't something recent.
>>59686347With champions they dont even have to have a ladder for gen 10 and we havent even gotten all the gimmicks yet. Hell they might not even include an online random battle at all.
The Palworld lawsuit ruling bankrupted them, kek
>>59687329I don't think you're paying attention to the game, considering that we just had our best 7th anniversary and the fact that this year is projected to rake in even more revenue than 2022.
>>59687355You only have one 7th anniversary.Let's not ignore how trash TCG Pocket is, either.
>>59686677Showdown is dead because the SMOGON admins are simply getting too toxic regarding curating the metagame.
>>59687366Showdown is dead because this gen sucks.
>>59687338God Championa is so abysmal shit
Showdown gets used all the time as a vgc practice tool. You just have to hope you're not playing a bot now.The smogon formats have been on a steady decline for a long time.
>>59687355>I don't think you're paying attention to the gameI doit sucksppl are leavinghttps://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonMasters/comments/1xdvni7/thanks_pmex_genuinely/
>>59686347Champions is literally gonna be dead when WiWa gets it's own ruleset
>>59687255yeah, there was no excuse to shut this down since it didn't even require a lot of resources to maintain and it had decent number of playersthey must be distancing themselves from tencent
>>59686661The Closed beta is really good, I like how you can make a lot of mons shouldermons
And nothing of value was last LMAO
>>59687368>longest gen in history is arguably the shittiestwhack
>>59687368I didn't think Gen 8 could get topped but good lord do I hate Gen 9's meta
>>59687427The move resets really did a number on how enjoyable this game is to play.
Pokemon always was shit glad people grew up and opened their eyes, no good games, not good media
>>59686661Not even close
>>59687462Nemosex
>>59687462New pokemon looks different. That trainer looks similar to Gloria from Sword and Shield to me
>>59687462>>59687494usually the pokemon series had more vertical eyes, but the newer games have more round or horizontal eyes
>>59687494Roco kingdom art looks more like ni no kuni yokai watch style
What is gonna be the next monopoly strategy in *Whoever out of the big three companies* Pokemon's books?
>>59687298>*snfl*...*hic*That's right, Baldy. Let the tears come out.
>>59686882It'll probably be shit or sauceless like the other Smash clones, don't bet on this next gimmick.
>>59686958Boomers weren't going to buy into Unite anyways and the tards sucking off the DBZ recently got their own MOBA downgraded to baby shit because it was too complex for the average shonen DBZ brown
>>59687080Is lasting almost half a successful gacha a failure really?Also FEH is still going and still making more than what Pokemon is doing outside CIA GO
>>59687204Welcome to gacha and live services.
>>59687462NuSugimori is fucking uglyWhy can't we go back to PLA's promotional artstyle?
>>59687646Not enough woke
>>59687646>PLA is not woke >When everyone used pantsLmfao
>>59686659Co-op battles sucked, and barely was used, it was just something that was complete filler with how braindead easy it was, so the majority of people won't miss it
>>59687658They've been afraid to have female characters in skirts since Gen 7, besides BDSP where they literally were forced to keep Dawn in a skirt, since it's a remake, there haven't really been any skirts in a while, unless you want to count those weird pants/skirt hybrid abominations they had in Z-A
>>59687679>>59687658that gay thread says the ratings board got stricter with skirts>>59652183
>>59687620Lmao Rillanigga was so shit he got denied from a EoS game
>>59686353That and I imagine it's much cheaper to upkeep.I've never played Unite but from what I've heard it's a balancing nightmare.
>>59686337ON GOD SOMEONE FINNA DECOMP THE SHITT AOUTTA THIS AND MAKE IT FOR PC... ON FUCKIN GOD!!
>>59687379>WiWakill yourself
I can't believe they're trying to file another lawsuit over Roco Kingdom,.they never learn
Champions was kinda something they were forced to make to keep things interesting in an abnormal 5 year cycle of SV. They got out of it at minimum 2026 and 2027 worlds where there were new toys in the megas which wouldn't have been possible otherwise. The future of it is pretty in the air and if they want to do vgc inside the gen 10 to make people get the game.
>>59687830The less information they give us about its future, the more concerned people should be.
>>59687830Champions does not seem like the kind of thing that will be updated for years and years, specifically because VGC only exists to advertise the latest games.
>>59687843It is confirmed Champions is the new platform for VGC. It will get updates for new mons each generation.
>>59687879Like every other app they dropped?
>>59687882LMFAOOOO
>>59687879>It is confirmed Champions is the new platform for VGC*Until the new games arrive
>>59687885The entire point of Champions is the new games will have a ZA battle system so they are keeping the OG battles on Champions.
>>59687932Then why does winds and waves still have the traditional battle system?
>>59687936It doesn't.
>>59686977keked
Why did this game have so few Unova Pokemon? Were they flops or something?
>>59687932Champions probably won't make it through Gen 10, that shit is zero profit
>>59687932Nah, Champions literally has its own tier list separate from VGC. What’s gonna happen when many of the Pokémon available in Champions aren’t even in WW?
>>59687951the list you're using is outdated looks like it stopped updating after Dhelmise
>>59687936who's gonna tell him>>59687951super outdated - gen 5 has a lot
>>59687951that's a hella old list, found this one which has the final rooster now before EoSstill looking sad that gen 5 is the only gen without any starter rep
>>59686460Aren't most Holowear outfits designed to cater to pokefuckers?>>59686822 case in point,
>>59687963Maid Glaceon being one of the holowear that stood out the most in that regard.Even funnier when they slapped bloomers on her next skin after those people (both west and east) talked about the bottomless maid look.
>>59686661>Rowlet eyesEvery time.
Showdown went EoS today as well but no one cared or posted about it.
The absolute state of Pokemon's 30th year>No new main game, postponed for 2027 instead>Bank is getting chopped>Unite is getting chopped>The anime sucks>Champions flopped(50/50 it also gets axed if gen 10 features old combat format)>Niantic lost Go(whatever that changes)>MasterSex somehow doing fine>Nothing to be hyped about after allWhat the hell is going on?
>>59687939>>59687958We literally have trailer footage showing that its turn based combat. You have no proof that its ZA combat.
>>59686815If they didn't give us the Chinese-exclusive stuff from Quest, they won't do the same for Unite.
>>59688000maybe they delayed the better celebrations to the 35th anniversary too...at least we're getting that art book this year
>>59687958Unova only got one additional mon.>>59687962Here's the % of reach region that made it. It counts megas as the same pokemon and counts regional forms in by their region, not their base form's region.>>59688010isn't this book just a bunch of official art that we already have on bulbapedia?
>>59687951The game was too bad to subject precious Gen 5 masterpieces to
>>59688000The franchise is pure slop now
>>59686822What an ugly overrated shitmon, Glad Gen 9 is almost over so I don't have to see them shill this pos ever again
>>59686870Nobody cares about Competitive pokemon, not even VGCtards care about them.
>>59687406I'm loving it so far, I'm about 6 hours into it, this is how I wish SV was.

>>59688040Any idea when/where will it be available?
>>59688047The three books going to be in all Japanese, December 18th this year. You'll probably have to find some sort of shop that's willing to export it to you
>>59688023don't worry I will keep shilling this strongmon :3
>>59688000>Niantic lost GoHoly shit. I stopped following and caring about Pokemon GO years ago and thanks to you, I just learned that Niantic sold their most profitable games (including GO and Pikmin Bloom) to a money-grubbing Saudi company that's even greedier than them.What a bunch of dumbasses. I can definitely see GO going down the shitter in a few years, if it hasn't already started happening.
>>59688000palworld is better and more popular now
>>59688026already voice acting and better writing than pokeslop, the fucking state lol
>>59688055Here's to hope it shows in any of the merch middleman shops. Thanks anon.
>>59688151Palworld needs more inorganic monsters in general. Mineral, robotic, man-made, whatever they can be.
>>59688163no, those are shit and flops
>>59688166you are a shit
>>59688168Bodied that freak
>>59687962>hisuan zoroark got hard AXEDlol
>>59688163>wanting a fucking bridge lmao no wonder poketurd is flopping hard
This probably has more to do with Tencent than TPC.
>>59688166>>59688180No one cares about Palworld's monsters.I saw that popularity poll Palworld had. It's all coomslop. That's embarrassing. An actual good roster has a healthy mix of cool and cute monsters. Turns out Palturd is the real memes and porn game.
>>59688180A more interesting design than half the anthroslop in either Pokemon or Palworld
>>59688229Both are fucking trash
>>59688156I'm surprised at how good the Voice acting is especially for the Tree Mommy
>>59688229>>59686653>>59686967>>59687085>>59687210>>59687398>Tencent>ten centsLol. The perfect name for a cheap and shitty company known for rip-offs.
>>59688367just like tpc and gamefreak riping off every monster collection game
>>59686661Was this the one where they disabled the ability to put your trainer in their underwear? It's on my shitlist because of that desu
>>59686661Mogs SV
>>59688390Gen 7 ripping off Yo-kai Watch is the most pathetic thing they’ve ever done.
>>59688390>just like tpc and gamefreak riping off every monster collection gameU mad palworldshitter?
>>59688441Yo Kai Watch was a legitimate competitor, but Level 5 is a shitty publisher
>>59688432And wiwa too>rotom scooterFucking lol
Owamon the owakon
>>59688432>moeshitter artstyleNo Westerner will care about this.
>>59686347Does Champions even have Choice Band yet?
>>59688565>westernersAnd that’s super good
Essentially people who spent money on the game got scammed. Some fool probably spent on the 10 dollar membership every month for years and bought every battlepass. I'd be furious if I were them, but then again they should feel dumb for even spending money on the game in the first place.
>>59688588You will never be accepted as Japanese as much as you try, gaijin.
Apparently, this is because TPC and Tencent had a 5 year deal. The deal expires next year and Tencent decided not to renew it because the game wasn't"t profitable enough for them.
Pokémon UNITE 2 in 5 years
>>59688605Pokebros......
>>59688448Roco Kingdom Won
>>59688172Yep, heard that it was leaked in the files like a future release but then was removed in a patch before the eos announcement
>>59688675Palworld aniimo too hell even the latest digimon game was better than za lol the state of pokeflop
I played this game last a few years ago with an anon from here. I always picked wigglytuff and tried my hardest to support him. I stopped playing after Mewtwo released. This game has had horrible updates after another, no wonder no one plays it. My time was brief but it was fun
>>59687406this is really cutei hope there is a cute electric rodent mon that i can keep on my shoulder
>>59688000pokeslop is purely a plushie and trading card franchise nowgames are just advertisements for the merchandise
>>59688565>wanting games to pander to the western audiencesv is literally the perfect example of why game developers should stop listening to whiny americans and south americans
>>59689403meanwhile roco kingdom has girls that actually look like girls and wear skirts and the art style is similar to actual pokemon instead of the uncanny one they are going with nowhow embarrassingroco nurse is super cute compared to the new nurses in pokeslop
>>59689401this, just see the new starters designs, they are literally made for plushies
>>59689406>the art style is similar to actual pokemon
>>59689406>all girls have the same body and look underage with ugly elf ears go back to your roco garbage
Pokemon masters ex was always the superior game
supremely shit maybe
>>59689406>muh skirt memethe most popular pokegirlz dont wear skirt
>>59689501You might as well like men if you're this into hagmaxxing
>>59689544>
>>59689569kekabsolute state of nu poopmon
>>59689569arceus's power was promised to him
>>59689501
>>59688010Pokecology is also pure kino. Not really related to 30th, but one of the best side products they've produced ever.
>>59687749RillaKING either appears in an unlikely offline release of Poonite, or I've saved my precious money, unlike you Baldy.
>>59687748Honestly, Pokemon should have been making games under the CERO B rating long time ago anyways, CERO A is for no fun toddlers
Pokeslop keep flopping, nothing new since yokai watch broke them
>>59687658At least they were smart with it, but the censorship sucks.That being said, PLA promo artist > NuSugimori
>>59689569Unfixable
>>59688565>Crying about moeshit when Pokemon was on that Hello Kitty merch philosophy since the anime cane out
>>59688565Both west and Japan got merch foids.Whenever you hear a company saying they want to pander to girls in a franchise centered for 7-12 kids, they want you to chow down on the toys they'll shit out next.
>>59689406God I can't wait for this to fully come out
>>59687406Is the beta going to carry over to full release?
i heard that tencent only had a 5-year contract with tpc and that's why unite will be shutting downi don't think it has anything to do with roco kingdomi am hoping tpc considers letting a different developer work on unite and re-release itthe concept is very unique for a moba, but the roster, balancing, gameplay and monetization are terrible
>>59687228Your English is terrible
>>59687229Haven't played it since 2018
>>59689403Shonen artstyle>>59689406Moeshit artstyleLearn the difference Rocoshill. Boys won't play this.
>>59689406Looks more like Genshin to me
>>59689406The Closed Beta is so fucking good so far
>>59686661I don't see the point in getting invested in this shit when it will be shut down one day.
>>59690273>Learn the differenceTake your own advice GFshill.
>>59690361The first Roco Kingdom online game has been around for 20 years and still getting updates, sure anon
>>59688180God this design sucks dick
>>59688180>>59690818I still recall Scarlet/Violet shills trying to convince everybody that Archaludon's design was actually "based" because apparently it's supposed to look like a railgun when it attacks and not the literal fucking bridge that it is lol
>>59686353Masters is a gachaslop money burning non-game which oddly works in it's favor for the type of audience you actually want for a mobile game.
>>59687309>Post commenting about the ecchi Pals>Doesn't show the most erotic Pal of them all
>>59690889A railgun bridge is at least still way cooler than whatever abomination the original Duraludon is supposed to be
>>59688180this is why gen V will always be the best
>>59686387Pokemon nowadays feels like the most mismanaged franchise ever. Insane that it's still massive but none of the kids I know in real life genuinely play/care about Pokemon
>>59687337catering to eeveefags is not for pokemon fansunite roster is very boring bland dogwaterI havent played in years but I took a look and the only interesting ones is dhelmise crustle cramorant among othersMeanwhile they have a literal unevolved fucking PSYDUCK as a complete character, and like 6 eevelutions. Total waste of spaces
>>59687951That's probably one reason Unite is dead. Hah! Good riddance to the anti-unova chinks
>>59691760Because its only a manchildren series, it was only popular with kids in the 90’s, the battle system is outdated garbage
stop fucking criticizing psyduck
>>59691800you don't need to snub and neglect golduck just to shill psyduck
>>59688024You must mistaken TPC for Sakurai, they're not on the same wavelength.
>>59688024Why did they even put money on stuff tailored to sweats if they don't care about competitive side of Pokemon?No reason for Pokemon to get balance patches, battle sims, a fighting game spinoff, TCG, and moba if this was held as truth.Anti-competitive fags are fucking delusional.
>>59688180>Digimon adjacent faggots getting filtered by something unconventional that isn't a generic bara/human knight
REMINDERthey gave chinks a whole as lobby while global gets NOTHINGGood fucking RIDDING
