    The funniest ones are when there’s like 20 shouting at first, but gradually they let it go and move on until there just 2 people left on thread abusing each other .

      Let’s have an argument. We’ll know what it’s about when we get there. I’ll start:

      Hard disagree!!!

        So often do I see people starting their comment with some variation of that or “you’re wrong!” But then they basically agree with that the other was saying. People just want to shout and be angry and dominant and not even really reading what the other one is saying.

          Proof? Pictures or it didn’t happen.

          But then they basically agree […]

          I still disagree.

          […] with that the other was saying.

          Yah, I’m certainly not saying what you’re saying, buddy.

          People just want to shout […]

          Who’s shouting? Lots of unfounded claims here …

          […] and be angry […]

          Well, you’re starting to make me angry.

          […] and dominant […]

          I am. And I’m not sorry.

          Is this your first internet argument, kid?

      I think Pokemon is an overrated game that prey on people nostalgia to re-re-release over and over the same game twice at the same time with the only difference being a slight sprite and name swap . Kinda like FIFA, NFL, PES. Heck, even they don’t do the release twice with slight variations bullshit. Imagine FIFA : Barcelona and FiFA: Real Madrid editions being sold separately and the only difference is that the team written on the other version isn’t available.

            Pokemon is how a lot of people got into games to begin with. It was a new and innovative experience from their perspective. Pokemon Red/Blue was a competent game with some fresh ideas, but through luck/marketing it became the launch point for a massive population of people into the gaming industry.

            So now you’ve got a few factors playing into Pokemon hype:
            Nostalgia (you never forget your first)
            Production value (this made money, pump more money in)
            Incidentally a formula that favors expansion (just add more Pokemon)

            These factors are enough on their own to carry a franchise for a while, especially for an otherwise ignorant audience that doesn’t play anything else (just like the people who just play FIFA games and nothing else). But at some point, it becomes too obvious even to the most zealous supporters that the formula is, well, a formula, and it’s not changing or improving, and even they finally begin to criticize the product. It’s easy to have a favorite pokemon out of 150, maybe even 450, but now there are over 1000 and it becomes exhausting even for die-hard fans. Even the number of types has exploded to 18 without actually having any interesting interactions to justify them, it’s just more for the sake of more.

            Plus, the most recent releases have been impressively lazy, again so much so that even megafans can’t nostalgia their way out of it.

            All this together makes for a history of a franchise that was one vehemently defended but is now seen as an embarrassing phase one went through as a child.

              I appreciate the long and detailed explanation. I already knew most of this but the last sentence tie it all together. People snapping of the pink tainted nostalgia because the abysmal quality of the product they’re fed is surely a feat in laziness and and nonecaring about the consumers. Wish it manifested in the sales tho, consumers need to learn that they can vote for improvement with their cash.

              Isn’t it the most profitable franchise in the world ? There’s a craze around every new release and peoples praising it despite the glaring issues. I did expect a bit more controversy 😅.

        it’s no coincidence that the best pokemon games (emerald, platinum, and legends arceus) are the ones that don’t come with a paired-off other half

        This sounds like the ramblings of a rich kid who doesn’t appreciate the taste of a pigeon. Tell me, how is it to be born with a silver spoon in your mouth?

          Sorry, I don’t own a pair of socks with holes in them to use as gloves to eat the damn bird properly. Tell me, how is it to be born with a plastic spoon in your mouth?

        I worked at Burger King 8 years ago, we only microwaved one burger. That’s the veggie burger, that thing was the worst. All the rest though, you generally don’t have to microwave because it’s kept pretty warm in the heating thing.

        Also, pigeons are basically the chicken of the sky. And it keeps the local pigeon population down so really a win win 🤷

      I feel like on Lemmy I get in more substantive arguments about the subject, and less of the other person playing armchair psychologist when I don’t see it their way.

        Yeah but we also have some of the most pedantic people I’ve ever dealt with, who will completely ignore your entire argument because they found a tiny bit of nuance in your word choice that they then cling to like it makes any fuckin sense

    It makes me happy knowing that people had a sense of humor in medieval times. I want a print of that full painting.
