If you're ok with this then you are literally whats wrong with gaming
>>341667925
I wish pokemon had that when I played yellow
>>341667925
>quality of life change
>a bad thing
alright you can put away your type chart that you got in a strategy guide five years ago. it's not any better.
Yes, I'm okay with a feature that literally every other RPG these days uses.
>>341667925
ok. now what
>>341669137
>quality of life
it's called knowledge
if players dont want to find out the types for themselves, they dont deserve to be good
I guess infinite TMs were also a bad thing.
Im happy for it, with pokemon designs nowadays, a thing can look like a fucking giant steel dragon fairy but its grass water or some shit
>>341669480
Please tell me you had this same fit back when FRLG let you look up the chart at literally any time just by pressing a button
>>341669480
>they dont deserve to be good
You're talking about a goddamn Pokemon game.
>>341669552
they are
>>341669598
>>341669480
it only works if you have seen the pokemon before
You know you have to battle a Pokemon blind first, right?
This is a vast improvement, it's not gen 1/2 where every type is basic, so many are ambiguous because of all the dual types.
Look at Flygon, you have a Ground/Dragon type that looks like Flying/Bug.
>>341667925
why? FF tells you enemy weaknesses since the nes era. Same with SMT and others. It's convenient that's it.
>>341669742
thats fine, that just makes it even better
At least this thing will never trick me again.
>>341667925
I guess I'm what's wrong with gaming.
And I couldn't care less.
I can see the shit storm for competitive players
What will happen in dubs/trips?
>>341667925
It's literally a children's game, you autistic faggot.
>>341667925
I thought you niggers were complaining that water gun was super effective to the eletric pokemon which seemed fucking stupid to me. I didnt realize you stupid shits were complaining the game was saving you from wasting your time learning their shitty system. Fucking child.
I agree, but the casuals here are all for it.It's okay when Nintendo does it!
>>341669947
maybe they will take it out for that
>>341669787
Why not bug and dragon
This is the most autistic thing I have ever seen. Pokemon is a game designed for CHILDREN. Many of them have never played a proper pokemon game before. This helps them learn the system so they can get by in the game.
"They don't deserve to be good"? What are you, stupid? It's a single player game. You don't like it, that's fine, you'll literally never see anyone else playing the game from your parents basement anyway. You won't get triggered.
>>341670132
>spoiler
Do you have any idea how many role playing let you check weaknesses as a basic feature?
>>341669947
It probably won't be enabled in online matches to avoid that issue, but competitive players have moved on to simulators long ago anyway.
>>341667925
That's a good thing, dumbo
That way I don't have to go look up all the attack effectiveness and shit
Oh, and by the way, Pokémon, was, is, and always will be a casual game. ""Competitive"" Pokémon is a complete joke
>>341670303
Any competitive player that's worth a shit already knows the type chart by heart anyways. I can't believe people think this is worth complaining about.
>>341667925
FUCK GAMEFREAK FOR IMPLEMENTING A FEATURE EVERY OTHER RPG HAS REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいい
>>341667925
If you want to spent all that time learning over 800+ pokemon types, weaknesses, moves and shit, you might as well have put that time in learning Japanese or something.
>>341670679
i just noticed that in the future they will have over 1000 pokemon.
How's this work again? Do you have to catch the Pokemon to get this information or is battling it once and getting the information next time enough.
>/v/ is ok with the casualization of games
>>341667925
As long as its gone on VS matches.
Story mode is fine to help memorize type advantages for new players.
>people are actually complaining that a children's RPG is being dumbed down
When you realise that you're not the target audience for the game you will probably be a lot happier
Like their are deeper JRPG's out there with battle systems that aren't just highest SPD attacks. If it's the monster collecting and shit could you not play SMT if you're upset with this?
I used to love Pokemon as a kid and I'd probably play one if I had a 3DS or whatever but I wouldn't complain about them adding something into the game as an unobtrusive aid.
It doesn't say super effective and shit if you not encountered the mom yet anyway.
Really silly thing that people have blown out of proportion
>>341670973
>Im a faggot who thinks that removing tedius shit is casualization, when in the reality were just saving people time and brain capacity
>>341670931
From what I understood you need to battle it at least once.
>>341670931
The latter, it basically works like SMT/Persona
>>341667925
Unlike you apparently, I don't struggle with remembering the type chart so it really doesn't matter to me.
Can someone explain why this matters?
Surely you already know a Water move would be more effective against the opponent's Fire-type Pokémon than your Pokémon's Ice Beam attack would be?
I wonder if this will apply to every move.
It would be funny to see a move like Thunder Wave being listed as super effective.
>the children's video game is too casual
Oh /v/.
>>341667925
I know the type chart inside and out, as well as a vast majority of the dex's typing combos, it literally would not make a difference to me
>>341671338
It doesn't, all the people bitching about this are those that already knew the chart by heart form playing over 20 years
>>341670191
Because fuck you.
Honestly the only time its detrimental is when a Pokemon has multiple abilities. One of them might nullify or reduce a damage type.
>>341671338
I just dont think it's necessary.
Why do you need to dumb down a game that's already made for kids further?
>>341671413
Well growl is listed there but doesn't show if it's effective or not so you probably won't see that.
>>341669718
>tfw hes insecure because hes bad at a childrens game and had to memorize a chart of moves to git gud
>>341667925
Oh, this thread again?
>>341671951
It's not an Overwatch thread at least.
>>341670271
Sure, plenty. Thing is, you don't always have the chance to check right in the middle of a battle (without using an item, ability, and/or wasting a turn, at least). Here the game just tells you what attack to use, instead.
Have you played Pokemon lately? The single player is easy enough as is. You don't even need to hit opponents with super effective attacks to win. Why make it eaiser? If this was any other game, people would be rightfully shitting over it, but Nintendrones are A-O-fucking-K with dumbing down yet another Nintendo franchise.
As someone who doesn't give a shit about playing pokemon against other humans, this means nothing to me, and I'm okay with that, Veterans of the series should know type advantages by now so why is it even a big deal?
For new players coming to the series with this entry, it only shows the "super effective" text if the pokemon is already in the pokedex, so again, not a big deal.
>>341671593
Becuase as you siad it's made for kids, kids aren't smart.
>>341671131
>I'm a casual
>>341667925
Fire Red and Leaf Green let you do this already. Now it's just streamlined
It's to make the entry into the series easier with probably 800 Pokemon by now. Especially since such a huge market as the Chinks are getting Pokemon for the first time ever.
So now you don't have to do a 10 second google search! That's so casual!
What an absolutely trivial thing to get upset over.
>>341670193
>This helps them learn the system so they can get by in the game
To be fair, this only does the opposite. You literally have no reason to learn type strengths and weaknesses now that this exists. The game just straight up fucking tells you
>>341672201
I'm sorry, but when it comes to difficulty in Pokemon, I'm more concerned about the following
-Gym Leaders being allowed to use more than 3 Pokemon
-Challenge Mode coming back
-Having an actual postgame and not just a barebones tower clone and a circle to bike around for egg hatching
than a feature that has zero effect on me because I already know the fucking chart. For any new Pokemon that appear, I won't see any prompts the first time I encounter them anyways, so what has changed?
>b-but kids these days
They would've used their smartphones to look shit up anyways.
>>341667925
>It's okay when SMT does it
>>341672352
But what specifically makes nintendo think kids are less smart now or that catering to such kids will be an improvement in something?
This isn't a "why is a kids game dumb" problem it's a "why is this kids game getting dumber than the previous kids game" problem. I just don't understand it.
>>341667925
This game is aimed for children, so this is ok.
OH NO NOW POKEMON IS A CASUAL GAME MADE FOR CHILDREN THAT EVEN CHILDREN CAN PLAY
SHUT IT DOWN
>>341672423
how about i stick my casual dick up your ass faglord
>>341672841
But SMT doesn't tell you when an attack is more effective.
>ITS A GAME FOR CHILDREN argument
>Kids had literally no problem figuring out the game 20 years ago
People really need to give children more credit. They're way smarter than you think they are
>>341667925
>Devs realizes that kids are stupid
>Make appropriate changes in a game make for kids
Where's the problem?
>>341673159
If you select a move you can move your cursor over a demon you've already fought to see if its weak to it or not.
It's the same shit, Pokemon just better implemation.
>>341667925
Nigga if you want a minion fighting game that isn't complete casual shit, play Shin Megami Tensei.
After the last two generations sucked, I decided I was done with Pokemon.
I guess I made a good choice.
>>341673159
SMTIV did, it would tell you if an attack would be drained, nulled, blocked, or weak
It only displayed ??? on bosses
Waaaaah, why is this game for children too easy, they should make it harder for mature gamers like meeeeee!
You're not the target audience anymore, not to mention there's probably going to be around 900 pokemon to remember the types of
>>341667925
These games are made for toddlers.
>>341667925
SMT has this and no one fucking cares
>>341673159
Actually in SMTIV you can tell if an attack will be blocked if its strong against a demon etc
>>341667925
Guess it's their circular logic solution to the newer Pokemon designs being completely disconnected from their actual typing.
Also, people who try to act elitist over being "good" at playing Pokemon should have moved on to games not made for kids at least a decade ago.
>>341673258
>wanting innocent game-enjoying children to have to memorize autism tables and end up on /vp/
>posts a cartoon also made for children that probably has subs so that you don't have to go learn japanese like children also have no problems learning
>>341673380
Which has exactly the same thing.
>>341673258
>>Kids had literally no problem figuring out the game 20 years ago
There were also only 150 pokemon with 15 types
>>341667925
again, this only appears when you fight a pokemon already. it doesn't even matter. if you're gonna lose because of some change like this, you were bad in the first place
>>341673258
My guess is nintendo is seeing falling sales in their younger age groups and are concluding that their games are not easy enough fromt hat instead of kids like shooters and minecraft now and really only play those all day.
>>341673479
>>341673550
Oh yeah I had forgotten about that.
>>341667925
I'm fine with that. I can never remember the typing on this fucker.
>>341667925
>it's a grown man complains about changes to a literal children's game thread
>>341673798
Is this not poison/fighting?
>Pokemon not already being so stupid easy that this effects anything
Grow up shit.
>>341673258
Gen 1 was filled with poison, ground and normal type Pokemon. It wasnt that hard.
There are going to be over 800 Pokemon now, Anon. Even if you don't literally encounter all of them in battle during the course of the game you're still dealing with much greater and IMO better variety. Also, other modern day RPGs have this same system and no one is bitching over them.
>>341673550
SMT doesn't have typing, though. Demons shift their weaknesses and resistances nearly every game, often with no rhyme or reason to it.
>>341673876
It is
>>341669480
there are zero people who play pokemon but don't understand type advantages. Zero. All this does is display information you already have.
>>341673991
Yeah that was really hard to remember.
>>341673597
/thread
>>341673876
Yup that's right. And Dark attacks.
>>341673876
It is. But given that it it's a toad with some black marks, I see it and think it's water/dark instead.
>>341673954
It still has the same system though and I don't see anyone crying that it dumbs down the game.
Meanwhile Pokemon is a literal kiddy game aimed at children. Why can't they learn the game differently from how you did as a child?
>>341672807
I want the same things you do, but after this, I only see Pokemon getting easier and easier.
I hope I'm wrong.
>>341669228
In other games at least the combat has some depth. In this one remembering what was effective with what was literally the only difficulty in the game.
>>341672807
Why don't you use your adult brain to realize you arent the target demographic anymore and just stick to battlesims and romhacks if you want difficulty.
Hell there are even romhacks made specifically just to increase difficulty but not fuck with the story so you get the same experience. This includes the gen6 games aswell.
>>341673597
>newer Pokemon designs being completely disconnected from their actual typing
Please, you cant tell me you didnt know what type this was immediately.
Fucking casuals baka desu senpai.
>>341667925
Wish they actually acknowledged their older playerbase and implemented some sort of hard mode. It doesn't need to be fancy, just making that single guilty pleasure playthrough slightly less of a faceroll would be enough.
The funny part is "learning through example" is a much more effective form of getting someone to understand the type chart compared to the "trial and error" style of blindly figuring out which move will be effective, so kids/newcomers will probably learn the matchups easier than genwunners did.
This, like all superfluous additions of any kind, is just another attempt by insecure people like the OP to prove how much "smarter" they are for know esoteric shit like Pokemon type advantages.

This is nothing new. Sudowoodo looked like a tree but it was rock because petrified wood. I'm also remembering Palkia, who was part water-type.
>>341674432
I assume Xatu's typing doesn't change when it evolves.
>>341674404
why should pokemon completely abandon their userbase once it hits a certain age? why not make a kiddie game and one for people who have grown up a little since they first played pokeymans. don't they want more market share?
>>341674432
Psychic/Flying
>>341667925
Someone said on the last thread that bitched about this it could probably also be used to keep track of type abilities like Protean, or even nullifying abilities like Levitate and Absorb abilities
If that's the case, then it was made for competitive (as was the ability to keep track of stat ups/drops) and I don't see what's so wrong with it. If anything, you should be complaining about how development being competitive-focused has hurt the actual main story in the last generations
>>341674438
They did back in Gen 5, but then they removed it because Gamefreak hates being consistent with good ideas
>>341674438
the game are being directed by Ohmori expect no postgame and your shoehorned megaevolution plot
>>341674665
Sudowoodo's misleading type was technically a part of the story.
>>341674665
Lugia not being a water type was weird too.
>>341674903
Yes, but it's still a Pokemon with a design that doesn't look like the type, is it not?
Oh, and Lucario. Steel my ass.
>>341672803
They'll pick up the pattern of type weaknesses as they play the game. Do you not know how learning works?
>>341674496
nope nope
>>341675052
Yeah I don't know what the fuck was up with that.
Seems like a fair share of the legendary Pokemon have odd typing. How the fuck is Jirachi steel?
>>341667925
When knowing this, become useless like in FFLG
>>341674805

>>341675219

LOL
>>341675323
Well obviously, the solution was to make the implementation better, rather than just throw it out completely.
>tfw I didn't learn about most of the type advantages until about B/W
>didn't even know what the special split was until X/Y
Feels bad. I like watching my younger brother do the same thing though.
>>341675293
Why would anyone memorize dual typing advantages?
>>341667925
This LITERALLY doesnt happen unless you already have the opponent registered in your pokedex, so you will know its type already by the time you see that, it literally changes nothing.
>>341675342
This is bait right?
>>341675342
That's retarded, literally the second iron starts building up in the core of a star it explodes.
>>341667925
what the fuck fairy is a pokemon type now?
>>341674038
It fucks over Pokémon with weird typing that most people don't know what's effective against it. Like Cradily.
>>341675835
Since gen 6 so X/Y
>>341675835
it pretty much exists to take a shit on dragons
Do I have to make a thread for all those retards who didn't pay attention to the fucking gameplay?
This shit only shows after you beat or capture a pokemon.
>>341675835
>effective against: Dark; Dragon; Fighting
>resisted by: Fire; Poison; Steel
>resists: Bug; Dark; Fighting
>weak to: Poison; Steel
>immune to: Dragon
Your guess is as good as mine.
>>341676081
And more than likely it can be disabled/won't show in PvP which is literally the only thing that matters in Pokémon.
Now post the porn already
>>341674712
No because people who are still in love with Pokemon buy it anyway. College kids, manchildren etc will buy it without fussing over every little change and the dev team doesnt have to waste time splitting their efforts making multiple games to appeal to a smaller market percentage. If you split the dev team you're either going to end up taking longer to complete either game or end up with two mediocre ones due to budget and time constraints. You really want something worse than XY? Where after the 3rd gym it feels like all effort in making the region just comes to a standstill?
You also have to remember when it comes to making games the publishers see most of the profit, not the developers. If Gamefreak were selfpublishing and seeing all that money themselves they'd be able to take as long as they need to cater to every autistic whim if they saw fit and the money kept rolling in.
I would completely write you faggots off too. Trying to cater to nostalgiafags, manchildren and self proclaimed "hardcore" Pokemon players is an unrewarding chore. In fact from Gen 5 onwards it's been nothing but streamlining the breeding and training process so that people can play competitively online to get that challenge and I say that as someone who hasn't actually bought a game since Gen 4 and just plays difficulty hacks to get my fix for a "challenge".
>>341667925
>>341669137
I know this is bait, but this is seriously like playing Quake 3 Arena while having a cute little UI element telling you when the armor is going to respawn.
You've got to be fucking kidding me.
>>341674665
>Pseudo Woodo
What, were you not smart enough to get the name?
>>341675136
>Do you not know how learning works?
Right back at you, dude. There's no learning to be done when there is no benefit to it. Do you memorize the post number of every anon you reply to? You don't because it's a useless thing to remember. Similarly, no new players will go out of their way to learn something that the game will always tell them.
The notion that this will help as a learning tool for new players is retarded because its whole point is that you don't need to learn shit anymore.
>>341676418
>>341676418
ANON BE PRAISED
>>341676272
Why would it matter in online, though?
Anyone who doesn't utilize cookie cutter teams and strategies to at least some extent gets obliterated there regardless of their knowledge about type advantages.
>>341673798
>doesn't know Toxicroak's type
On display; the kind of retard this new feature is pandering to.
>>341675835
Where have you been for the past 3 years? This was big news.
>>341676586
That's exactly the point.
>>341674432
Ground/Flying right? You find it in a desert area and sigils are usually carved in dirt or rock right?
>>341676429
But its called sudowoodo
>>341676429
I did eventually, what's your point?
>>341667925
Why is modern gaming going to shit? Why do casuals have to ruin everything? If games continue to become easier and easier what's the point?

It's not completely disconnected from it's typing if it's in the name.
Pokemon is already dog shit easy. It's not something to freak out about.
>>341674432
Here's a better example from the same gen even.
>>341676972
>Fucked up EXP distribution
>No endgame
>No difficulty options aside from one game
what else?
>>341677164
I've never even looked up it's type but it looks psychic
>>341677012
I know its Psychic/Flying but god damn if I didnt try Water/Ice/Grass moves on everything in that desert and tomb as soon as I encountered it.
>>341677121
As if everyone is going to understand it immediately
>>341677121
Anon said design, not name.
Wait til those spergs find out you can fill your Pokedex using QR codes.
>>341677313
Most likely not kids, but I got it immediately.
>>341677329
The design has no fault if the name already tells you what the pokemon is about.
100% okay with this. It's like you don't have a family or know anyone that's 10 years old or younger. This will help my nephews and nieces immensely. Don't forget it is a children's game OP.
>>341677557
I wasn't saying it was a fault, anon was.
saves alot of time if your unfamiliar with the series, i lost track once fairy was added
>>341677526
I'm still not entirely sure what the point of this feature is
>>341677178
Single save slot in the current year.
No notification when shit gets traded on the GTS
Half done games like XY with missing content.
3DS hardware cant even handle the models that GF clearly intends to reuse for another couple gens because who the fuck is going to spend all that time making new models again.

Yeah, I can see brain capacity is in limited supply in your case.
>>341676838
This. GameFreak is straight up telling players which attacks to use.

Pokemon ain't hard, niggas. Have a little more faith in yourselves.
>>341677672
>Single save slot in the current year.
That's just there to preserve the sanctity of pokemon tradability.
Everyone would just use multiple save slots to clone and trade their pokemon away.
Itt:
Manchild upset his little kid game is made for little kids and he thinks he's a big boy now.
This literally changes nothing but helps little kids play the game. it doesn't effect competitive play, it doesn't change how you play the game, it gives hints for newbies hints that don't in any way interrupt the game, I like pokemon too but grow the fuck up.
>>341669947
>I can see the shit storm for competitive players
Why?
If you're a competitive player you know the type chart already, and if you're actually trying hard and don't recognize a Pokemon for some reason you're just going to look it up
>>341676838
>>341677861
You would have to already beat the Pokemon for this to show up. Literally a non issue
>>341677948
You obviously haven't read the thread. It's really:
>ITT everyone distances themselves from children's game to be mature and cool
>>341677992
Comp players are addicted to wasting paper in matches
>>341677657
It's pretty redundant but it's there for you to mark something as seen so you can track where to catch it.
Perhaps there will be some randomization in wild Pokemon habitats so the entire feature won't be entirely pointless.
>>341677948
And if you look to your left you'll see the classic manchild that has to assert how grown up and mature he is while acting as autistic and childish as the manchildren he hates so much.
>>341677948
>grow the fuck up
>still on /v/
>>341676838
devs think that the more people that can beat their game, the more people will play it.
>>341667925
>this children's game has children features
Nevermind the fact that the game has the same braindead gameplay complexity, 20 years and 30 games later. A notifier for something you've learned in 1996 is the real issue.
Nevermind that you've been sold a game cut in two pieces with 5 exclusive pokemon artificially gated out for seven generations.
Nevermind that the entire main quest has the same atrocious pacing of a gameboy game in 2016.
Nevermind that a turn based cartoony game game with flat textures and 2 models total on screen has framedrops to the 15s.
See, this is why every pokemon game is garbage. The OP is your generic pokemon audience. They keep getting abused and lose their shit over the pointless stuff.
>>341678159
>Some pokemon appear in appropriate but different regions based on a random roll for your game
That might be pretty neat.
>>341667925
SMT and EO both do this, I don't see anyone complaining, nor the games are easier because of it.
This kind of shit won't make Pokemon any more for casuals than it is, but gym leaders with 2 pokes, only "important" enemies getting to use megas, exp share on at all times, enemies with much lower levels still giving shittons of EXP and stupider AI that doesn't switch pokes or uses battle items or anything of the sort will.
>>341667925
So this is what tick "hardcore gaymer" fag off their seats.
I don't need it but there are casuals who do. (like 10 years old kids, the MAIN audience) If you don't like it turn it the fuck off.

>I MEMORIZED THE ENTIRE WEAKNESS CHART, I'M SO INTELLIGENT AND PRO
>HOW DARE THOSE KIDS NOT BE AS HARDCORE AS ME, THEY NEED TO GIT GUD ALSO HOW DARE THOSE CASUAL KIDS LOSE THEIR VIRGINITY BEFORE ME
>>341678536
>this children's game has children features
Weird, coz it didn't have these children features before.
>>341678536
>Nevermind that you've been sold a game cut in two pieces with 5 exclusive pokemon artificially gated out for seven generations
That hasn't been an issue since GTS was introduced nigga.
>>341675868
It's not 1996 anymore. Every single person owns a device that can google one word in three seconds.
>>341678578
>like 10 years old kids, the MAIN audience
Why didn't they need it when I was a kid? Why do they need it now?
>>341678536
>Nevermind that a turn based cartoony game game with flat textures and 2 models total on screen has framedrops to the 15s
Blame the 3DS hardware and gamefreak not wanting to spend 6 years making new models for each new game
>>341678707
>Every single person owns a device that can google one word in three seconds.
So why put it in the game?
>>341678660
That's because it was an old game and old people played old games so it was designed for people who would be adults in the future.
Science, yo.
>>341677672
>Single save slot in the current year.
That's so people don't mass clone Pokémon.
>>341678660
Because you couldnt add these features to a gameboy game due to memory issues.
Remember how you could pull up the type chart anytime you wanted in FRLG?
It's absolutely arbitrary to memorize this shit.
It's like when teachers say you can't keep formulas with you for the test when in any functional environment you'd have all the resources possible to resolve problems.
Also just spamming what's super effective isn't going to win every battle, especially against other players. Your precious tourney world is safe.
>>341667925
I'm indifferent. On one hand you're screwed by that point if you didn't prepare for the battle, so it's not like you can change your movesets on the fly. On the other hand, it takes the fun out of forgetting the typing of some Pokemon and being surprised/confused when something didn't hit the way you expected.
>>341678893
Why not?
oh people of /v/ why the fuck do you care about stupid dumb ass shit so much.
>>341678971
>Remember how you could pull up the type chart anytime you wanted in FRLG?
And?
>>341667925
And yet again Zoroark gets worse by proxy.
>>341679094
Why did they add such a casualizing feature when you could get through the original just fine?
>>341679043
Because what else is /v/ gonna do, play videogames?
>>341669480
It's a children's game.
Children have more important thing to memorize than type effectiveness.
>>341679010
Because it's pointless.
Oh actual people of /v/, why do you care about people caring about dumb ass shit so much?
If they made it option you can turn on and off, i'd be cool with it. My wife thinks it's a godsend.
>>341667925
Gamefreak dindu nutin wrong. This feature is decent. Hopefully it won't display type effectiveness for Pokemon you don't own outside of pvp.
>there are people in this thread who complain about Pokemon becoming more casual who are guilty of playing through their first game using only their starter
>>341679265
I'm sure your wifes son is going to love the new games, Anon. They look like the best ones yet.
>>341679240
It's convenient, autist.
>>341679240
Then this whole discussion is pointless as well, why are we discussing about a pointless addition?
It's not like that would cost 100 man hours to implement.
5 minutes tops.
>>341679192
>Why did they add such a casualizing feature
Reading a chart and this feature are not the same. In any case, you've just proven that the games have become increasingly more casual over time. Well done.
>>341679265
At least you and your wife's son will play it the way it was meant to be.
>>341679405
>Then this whole discussion is pointless as well
No, sorry that doesn't follow. Try logic again.
>>341679396
It would also be convenient if the game played itself for you.
>>341679360
Hey man the EXP distribution was shit and grinding in Gen 1 is tedious and pointless. I rather power through with Charizard than waste time trying to keep a balanced team just to fight my cuck of a rival.
>fucking casuals, why can't they just look at the chart while they're playing the game like everyone else
>>341679360
But most starter's are fucking trash
>>341678778
Company realizing easier game = more player = more shekels
Which is not a bad thing. Hating a company because they make money is stupid... Also more player = better, hands down
>>341679606
Even the most trash starters can solo the game if they get all the exp.
>>341679615
>Hating a company because they make money is stupid
Not if they make that money by making the game worse, you mongoloid.
>>341679410
The point is that they add features to make it more accessible to new players you retard. Pokemon was always a "casual" game, I was berating you.
>>341679394
>>341679510
Sorry, have no children. I'm getting Sun for me, Moon for the Missus.
Post yfw you're not autistic enough to care about this
>>341679790
Is your wife hot?
>>341679713
That's a problem with the game and not the player. Try sweeping the maison with your lvl 100 delphox and see how well you do when the AI is slightly less retarded.
>>341679606
You can still solo every single pokemon game with just your starter.
As a kid I did it with gens 1-3
While i'm not surprised this thread got as popular as it did i am actually surprised by the content.
It's basically 80 different people going "oh my god i can't believe everyone other than me cares about this" and like 5 guys who actually care meekly protesting.
>>341679606
>starters
>trash
Outside of Bayleef, all starters are somewhat decent, some are even OP as fuck.
>>341679773
>The point is that they add features to make it more accessible to new players you retard.
Strange then that the first pokemon game sold more than any other
>>341679757
>worse
turn it off
we dscussed this you low iq white devil
>>341678053
Isn't part of the value of game immersion? As autistic as thus sounds, before, I "was" the trainer, since I couldn't be in the virtual world of pokemon, the trainer sprite was only a vessel for my decisions, everything else was my responsibility to remember. Every victory hinged on my abilities as a trainer and my knowlege of the games mechanics. By adding this shitty notifier, it takes away part of the little skill from the game that is already there.
>>341677675
Does it? I there proof that abilities are counted in? That should not be included.
>>341667925
I'm ok with this because it's a game for children.
If you played any Pokemon game past Crystal and you're over 13, there's something wrong with you.
People love to act tough and mature in this board, but at the same time play and get mad at Pokemon games?
Grow the fuck up.
>>341679563
>comparing a system that lets you know how effective a move is to having the game play itself for you
this is how retarded you are
>>341679981
Really? You think so? Are you sure? Man that's strange.
Trainer's school:
>you gotta learn the type match-ups!
Gen 7:
>school's for faggots anyway
>>341680081
We only saw that it exists, with basic battles where Pokemon's abilities don't matter yet. We don't know anything other than that.
>>341679773
>The point is that they add features to make it more accessible to new players you retard.
aka make it worse for money
>Pokemon was always a "casual" game, I was berating you
Were you? It didn't feel like it because you looked like an idiot instead.
>>341680082
If modern kids can't be assed to remember "Fire beats water" then that's not my problem
>>341680101
It literally is. Next thing they'll have is a feature that tells you which move to use. Then auto play. Then there'll be an easy mode where pokeballs never fail. And so forth
>because it's a game for children
I hate how it's the norm to say that here about many different games, usually Nintendo. I would say "it's a game for everyone". I don't play children's games and would never admit to it either. A children's game is Dora Learning Explorer.
>>341667925
>getting mad at a game that panders to children for pandering to children
tiptopkek
>>341680075
>>341680075
That's the most autistic thing I've read regarding this feature. I'll argue that Pokemon was never inherently difficult at any point and simply knowing super effective moves isn't enough in higher levels of play against better AI in Battle Facilities and against real players, which is the focus now.
This is called a quality of life change. Stop making these threads, autismo.
>>341680082
I played Blue when I was 8 and I never had any problems with the type matchups.
This is like Sakurai saying MELEE IS TOO HARD FOR CHILDREN when the hardcore crowd were all playing it as children and did fine.
Stop thinking you need to fucking hold their hands and baby them. They're not going to learn anything that way.
>>341680463
Your slope is slippery as fuck mate. Better fix it.
>>341680474
I'm just simply amazed at how many different ways people can find to say the same thing.
Language is deep.
>>341680157
Yeah and then the second sold more than the third, and the third sold more than the fourth...
It's almost as if these "features" they keep adding aren't doing anything...
>ITS A GAME FOR CHILDREN SO IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE HAND HOLDING SHIT!!
funny how you faggots are complaining in the paper mario threads
>>341667925
>Anon probably knows that this only shows up IF YOU ALREADY FOUGHT THE POKEMON you're up against
>Wants to start a shitposting thread to attract people that don't know
>This is his only form of company
You know what anon, here's another (You), on the house. This thread is fucking garbage anyway.
Post your poke waifu
>>341680474
Pokemon as a franchise is marketedly primarily at children.
