Hey, you bought the new Pokemon game? That means you're fucking stupid.
No, that's not my opinion. That's Game Freak's opinion of you. You bought Pokemon, so you must be a goddamn dunce, and so for the next hundred or so hours our game's dialogue is going to talk waaaay the fuck down to you, while making as little sense as humanly possible. There will not be a single human character in our game who talks like a human. They'll all talk like Steve from Blues Clues just dropped shitloads of LSD into his eye and fell into a ball pit full of Pokemon plushies.
I am not exaggerating. As an adult, this is what playing Pokemon feels like. And I get it, I totally get it. Before you shitpost, I know that Pokemon is a children's game. Just like Adventure Time and Regular Show are children's TV shows. Just like the Lego Movie and Up and Toy Story 3 are children's movies. Why do I bring those properties up? Because they prove that you CAN write dialogue and scenarios for children that aren't depressingly stupid and condescending, shit that doesn't assume the intellect of the viewer is at perfect zero. You can entertain children without making it clear to them that you think they're dumb as shit. That's a thing! But not in Game Freak's world.

Ehhh, decent pasta. The sauce is lackluster, though.

And that's why I'll be pirating SM so I don't have to have buyer's remorse when I quit the game halfway through like I did with ORAS.
I play Pokemon for the bike riding post game, not the shitty story
Nigga like who cares lol

>decent pasta
I disagree, it starts out good, but in the end lose itself too much with references and reusing the same point multiple times to be an usable pasta
Sure, I'll bite: The amount of people who play the games for the new Pokémon is way higher than the ones who play it for the story.

No one plays pokemon for what it was designed for, not even children. In fact, all of pokemon's functions can be achieved by free programs at this point. You don't even need to play the game. You have two options: don't worry about it, or go back to your simulators.

Then why post???
Fuck, it's pasta.

I know it's copypasta, but Adventure Time's dialogue is fucking annoying, and I'd rather have all of Pokemon's dialogue than "Schmawzow"
Callingnadventure time realistic?
:^)
