You've described /v/ as a whole. Not just /vp/ is like that.
>>24767285
Not completely true. When LucasArts utilizes classic elements, they change shit for no reason other than to just change shit.
>>24767277
>Is there a more dramatic, whiny, contrarian fanbase than this one?
Yeah, but Harry Potter and Sonic the Hedgehog don't distinguish themselves enough to have their own boards.
I don't see how those two things are contrarian anyways, since Zard-X likely falls under both.

i never understood why GF makes 3 versions of a game
I mean 2 made sense since they have small differences so you'd have to choose, it was creative, but the third one just seems like a cop out since it just combines the first 2 and adds some extra stuff
>>24767277
You think pokemon fans are bad?
Have you seen Sonic the Hedgehog's fanbase? It's like pokemon, but worse in every way, and with 2,000,000% more faggotry, retarded original characters, and poorly drawn porn.
>>24767305
>i never understood why GF makes 3 versions of a game
Because they made millions of dollars with minimal effort when they did it the first time.
>>24767305
A 3rd version allows them to completely flesh out whatever narrative the first pair of games had. Each one does that a little bit differently. I'm willing to bet that Z will introduce elements and ideas that ORAS brought to the table, but thats just speculation.
>>24767314
The Sonic fanbase also has a good side though.

OP here. I was more referring to how you faggots go about complaining, rather than what you complain about. But thanks for proving my point.

Grow up dude.

I just think it's ridiculous the way you guys bitch and bitch and bitch.
>muh pandering
>they're shoving it down our throats
Like shut the fuck up or have an original thought.
I love how people on /vp/ are the only ones who are retarded about VC releases.
>HURR WHY ARE THEY RELEASING THE OLD GAME INSTEAD OF THE REMAKE?

>AHHH I HATE THIS PANDERING TO GENWUNNERS REEE
>>24767803
>the same 10 being marketed over and over
They rotate every gen.
In Gen 4, the starters and Lucario were everywhere.
Then for Gen 5, those were swapped out for the Unova starters and Zoroark. But Zoroark was a failure, so by popular demand, Lucario came back.
Now we're at Gen 6, and the Gen 6 starters (mostly Greninja) are in the spotlight, Lucario is here to stay, Charizard and Mewtwo have returned, and even previously ignored Pokemon like Mawile are getting attention thanks to their Mega Evolutions.
>>24767874
Tell them to learn GB asm and add them by themselves. They would get what they want while learning something. Not to say the games were probably programmed in asm, so they would basically be working on the source code.

And don't misuse contrarian, you stupid faggot.
I would love to see a fanbase as massive as pokemon that is able to retain the "good fanbase" image. It's too big, there's too many people. Obviously there will be a lot of retards. Just enjoy it for yourself.
>>24767277
Transformers dude.
>>24767277
They are both actual complaints if you arent a GF apologist.
>>24772706
The pokemon fanbase's problems arent all that known though. People say its bad, but most people don't know why.
The most recent game is always the worst in the series.
>>24772762
Oh, there's another one. If you don't bitch and complain about things then you are a "GF apologist."
It's just a game. You're pathetic.

I'm well over shitting on GF/TPC for everything they do, and just patiently wait for a major misstep that will finally send the franchise to its grave (at least in the west), but there's a subtle difference between not giving a fuck about flaws etc. and not allowing people to voice their concerns using the argument meant to patronise whoever you're discussing with: "it's just an X".

See for yourself.

>but there's a subtle difference between not giving a fuck about flaws etc. and not allowing people to voice their concerns
You're missing the point of this thread.
>>Is there a more dramatic, whiny, contrarian fanbase than this one?
"Pandering pandering nostalgiafags shoving it down our throats" isn't "voicing your concerns."
When it's that kind of shit, absolutely non-stop, it just becomes obsessive bitching. There's a way to voice your concerns, then there's coming off like an angry 12 year old. You know which one people here do more.
>>24767277
Pokémon fans are completely delusional.
It amazes me that so many people fail to realize that the games are made to appeal to a demographic as broad as humanly possible. Which means pushing the most famous aspects of the series.
Pokémon has never been about pandering to a small group of "hardcore" otakus. There are plenty of other franchises for that.
Melee.
Not even close in terms of both contrarians and sheer autists. The furfags definitely outnumber here though.

>People say its bad, but most people don't know why
Same reason why the Sonic and Zelda fanbases have bad reputations
All the changes over the years have split these fanbases into multiple factions with radically different opinions, and differing views on where the franchise should go, so different that they might as well be fans of different franchises
>>24773501
Project M is irrelevant.
Imagine pokemon forever being Gen II. No new moves, no new Meta (inb4 muh V cancelling), where any other iteration is just for casuals. That's the mindset of Melee.
>>24773318
Just let them do it, no one's forcing to join them. Do what most of the old Pokemon fans have done - move to something else.I'm actually fine with the Pokemon fanbase being so shitty; it means grater chance that it will collapse magnificently.
