Anyone playing Pokemon Masters?

finna give that turbo gacha cancer the hardest of passes

i like that Kris is pullable though

Yeah this game has an egregiously bad gacha, and this is comming off someone playing a game with 1% for 5*s

Thankfully though you get Rosa and Snivy who are the best tank in the game currently for free almost imediately. If I keep playing ill probably just save for who ever has a Black Kyurem or something.

galarian ponyta is cute and all but like

stop revealing gen 1 pokes

t h i c c a c h u

og fat pikachu best pikachu

i love most of these tbh

very disappointed in every starter, though

worst starters of all time confirmed

>Cuts out 70 entire moves from the game
>Stealth Rock still exists

>Stealth Rock still exists
>Stat totals and movesets on existing mons is still gonna be wildly unbalanced
>RNG still exists
>Still using VGC format for tournaments
>IV Eugenics is still a game mechanic
>Game still Looks like an upscaled 3DS title AT BEST and more often than not looks like an N64 title
>Assets including animations and models are recycled from the 3DS
>Pokemon are barely animated both inside and outside of battle
>Clipping
>Pop-in
This is FIRST PARTY SOFTWARE for the same console that runs

>Smash Bros Ultimate
>Skyrim
>The Witcher 3
>"B-but we reskined poke-block into curry"

PLEASE GIVE US $60

can't really defend any of that other shit, but i'll probably never care about stuff like graphics or difficulty

pokemon games have always been easy, but that's never really affected by ability to enjoy them at all

getting rid of ~70 moves was fucking stupid and inexcusable, but at least none of them were very important

Jolteon has zero coverage anymore.
Bugs are p gutted without silver wind and signal beam
Mag can't trap ferrothorn without hidden power
I mean, fuck, no hp coverage fucks over a lot of mons.

true, but it's not like those pokemon can't get other moves

it's not like they'd forget to replace those moves with other useful ones

.........................................right?

it seems unlikely that of the 80 new pokemon, none of them would be able to check those three, but it would be pretty funny if that just turned out to be the case

and fortunate for me, since i actually like and would use all three of those

So on top of the confirmation that the models are reused and Gamefreak are liars, there's also bugs galore apparently.

Gigantimax crashing the game and also whatever the fuck this is.

And ally Freinds are screaming at me for not wanting this.

What went so wrong bros?

where is the alcreamie or its preevolution

i want it

the gym leader music is dope

Imp is the best boy

Zekrom died for this.

at least you don't have to jump through flaming hoops to get steelix anymore

I'm still undecided whether to get this. Is it better than sumo? I dont care about dexit.

not sure if it's better than sumo, but i actually loved sumo, whereas i assume you didn't, so idk what to say to that

it's definitely a pokemon game, in the sense that they didn't fuck up the standard gameplay loop, so if that's what you want from the game, you can't really go wrong

in spite of dexit, team-building is extremely fun, fulfilling, and easy this time around, since you have access to all kinds of pokemon + powerful moves early on, and they've added lots of QoL stuff to make life simpler (but not too simple) for competitive people

just don't expect anything outstanding, or for there to be any sense of difficulty if challenge is what you like

there's definitely some dumb/iffy design choices and some embarrassing oversights that make the games feel unpolished in certain areas, but i feel like most of this stuff has been SEVERELY overblown by reddit

the games aren't completely soulless (just look at camping); people just have their minds set on hating them, which is their right, but it's unfortunate, because i think the games are serviceable at the very least
