YOU CANT EVEN BATTLE! WTF WHAT A WASTED OPPORTUNITY!
NOPE, dont say anything bad about this based game or people will tell you how wrong you are.
>>26997181
Apparently this a 10/10 game and will probably win game of the year by multiple sites for its graphics and comples yet fun gameplay.
Also expect nintendo to make the official vgc format pokemon go after worlds this year.
>>26998198
You can battle at the gyms
It's the 1st version, relax bro. This has a lot of potential.
>>26998231
Salty that you can't play it?
>>26998256
Going all the way to a gym is retarded. Why cant you just battle other people. You cant even battle wild pokes. This is so dumb.
>>26998261
>Salty that you can't play it?
When i found out the details i didn't like what i saw. Tried it out and don't enjoy it, think its shit.
I don't get how people can play something like this but hey the heart wants what the heart wants.
Who spoof here ?
>>26998261
>1st version
You mean final version?
>he didnt know this already
Pokemon released a article on the game mechanics along time ago.
I don't think you understand what this game is. It's not meant to be a mainline entry. It's just a Pokemon themed GPS location theme.
...why did you expect to be able to battle?
>>27000906
...because its a pokemon game
>>27000877
It should still have more game mechanics. I wanna be able to battle and trade my friends.
>>27000966
>newfags upset they can't battle properly
I love it
It's bringing Pokemon back to its roots and it's exposing the kids who were around when the Pokemon franchise began
It's sad that so many people are pretending a mobile game is flawless. A mobile, soulless and neutered version of Pokémon.
>>27001629
pretty sure we could battle in the beginning.
>>27001773
>not understanding the point
you really are underage
>>26998198
>>27001782
What the hell does this mean?
>>27001782
You mean the point that not being able to battle takes us back to the roots?
You mean the point that doesn't make any god damn sense because we could battle in the beginning?
Nigger are you high?
>>27001863
>Nigger
Hey, easy there bro
>>27001889
go back to lereddit. This is 4chan.
>>27001863
Battling wasn't important in the beginning
If it was included then autists would ruin the game, the devs knew this
>>27001926
Shut up racist, this board has children. Please moderate you're language
>>26998198
>mobile game
Nothing was wasted, this was doomed from the start.
>>27001929
Battling is literally part of Pokemon and has been since the beginning.
It was important, otherwise it wouldn't have been part of the game, and was improved in the next generation BECAUSE of that.
If you think that battling in pokemon wasn't important, and isn't relevant to include in GO, then you're a moron.

Not an argument racist
>>27001929
Battling was literally the only thing you did in RBY besides walk around, if anything there's less of a focus on battling in later Gens due to side content like Contests and the Pokéathlon.
>>27002006
>>27002009
here's your (you)
>>27001962
>battling in pokemon wasn't important,
correct
that's why it was left out, idiot
>>27002022
Thanks fuccboi
>>27002029
...Can...can you not read?
>>27002012
>besides walk around
and y'know, catch pokemon
>>27002029
say what you want about battles but trading was a thing and you needed it to complete the dex
>>27002022
You're
FTFY racist
>>27001926
>go back to lereddit. This is 4chan.
>>27002050
Which you did by battling.
>>27002050
then what do you do with the pokemon you catch?
and what is the scenario called that you had to be engaged in to catch them? was it a battle? i think so
>>27002041
>>26998292
Because it's not a mainline game?
You do realize that they can't give you all the options or else people won't have a reason to buy mainline games
Especially since Go is free
>>27002069
>>27002086
(you)
>>27002104
Not an argument, fascist bigot
>>27002099
The end goal was filling the Pokedex
Battling was just a method, could be replaced
>>27002130
in the other guy's defense, it's hard to argue with a retarded kid.
>>27002171
>other guy
yeah, sure
>>27002104
>>27002199
Great argument
>>27002144
If battling had been replaced, pokemon would never have been as successful as it is today.
Who the fuck would pay real money just to catch all of these little animals that supposedly have special abilities, when they couldn't see what those abilities were?
Or do you have a better idea than battling?
Don't say contests, that shit never would've sold a game series.
>>27002199
>reposts the same image
>complains about bad arguments
So...are you like, 16? 15?
>>27002225
>If battling had been replaced, pokemon would never have been as successful as it is today.
umm, no
the appeal was the monsters that you could collect
the battle system is just rock-paper-scissors
>>27002144
The credits didn't roll when you filled the pokedex. They rolled, and always rolled, when you defeated the Elite Four and Champion through Battle. You are either retarded or baiting. I can only assume baiting because this is just too stupid.
>>27002282
the appeal was monsters that you could collect and then BATTLE WITH.
The battle system is definitely more complex than just rock paper scissors.
Do you even play pokemon?
>>27002282
the battling was the best part. it would be super boring if battles weren't included in the game. just go around collecting them? what's the appeal in that?
>>27001603
Tell yourself and your friends to buy a 3DS and Sun&Moon this year!
>>27002296
The game wasn't over when you defeated the Elite Four and Champion through Battle. It was over and was always over when you filled the pokedex after Mewtwo and othe rlegendaries were unlocked.
You are either retarded or baiting. I can only assume baiting because this is just too stupid.
I honestly wish that in latter updates we get to see different pokemon depending on the biome, and pokemon from different gens because god dammit.
>>27002282
Do you really think Pokémon would have been popular if Pokémon joined you automatically and you never battled trainers? How would you not get bored immediately?
>i dont like it therefore you shouldn't either

Diamond/Pearl or Black/White?
>>27002317
>The game is over when I say it's over and not when the credits roll, you know how everything ends
Ok retard.
>>27002326
play it till your hair falls out and your skin wrinkles but there are people that white knight for this "game" like it was some sort of revolutionary product
>>27002317
This has to be bait. The credits don't roll after you finish the pokedex. The game isn't over when you complete the pokedex because you can keep playing the game. Breeding, training, BATTLING.
This game is just to kill time while walking or jogging. Not a real poke adventure. Wish it had battling. Puts me in the mood to play a real game.
>>27002358
>The game is over when I say it's over and not when the credits roll, you know how everything ends
Ok retard.
>>27002326
>I keep getting my points shot down by facts, but everyone but me is wrong.
/vp/ truly is the most autistic board.
>>27002362
The game isn't over when you beat the elite four because you can keep playing the game. CATCHING POKEMON
>Breeding
oh, you're a literal autist
>>27002326
It's important and healthy to express negative opinions, as long as you have logic and reasoning behind them. If you don't express what you feel is wrong, the problem won't ever get fixed.
Not that Game Freak will ever listen to their fans, but I'm referring to things in general.

>hey guys this new mobile game is out, its kind of fun, its pokemon related so lets discuss it here
>hey guys this is objectively the best pokemon game of all time we need to cull /vp/ of all who do not worship its glory
One of these is reality, the other is your autism
>>27002333
You stopped playing after you completed the pokedex, didn't you?
>>27002376
Exactly, the credits don't roll when the pokedex is filled. Thanks for proving the point.
>>27002382
That was my first post on the topic so your post makes no sense.
>>27002401
>The movie isn't over when the credits roll, you can still play mini games in the DVD menu options
You're an idiot.

Hey, that's Blue's Rattata!
>>27002408
True that. Almost got hit by a car. It'd work better as a smart watch app on a fitbit or some shit.
>>27002356
blue version. it was my first game ever actually. but i know of the idea where pokemon first came from was collecting bugs and trading them, but battling and being the best pokemon trainer is also a main plot of the franchise. in gold and silver, you even climb a mountain to test your mettle against red, the character from the first game. i don't understand your logic at all, i feel like your just saying all this to fuck with people
You guys realise that the credits mean jack shit? Theres a thing called post game. Fuck, in gen 2 you got 8 more badges worth of content after the credits. I dont care either way but its a shit yardstick
>>27002412
>the game ends when you beat the Elite 4
>the game isn't really over because bike riding simulator 3000
you're a special kind of retard
>>27002411
Well seeing as there are 3 go threads up full of shit posting from people grasping at straws as to why this should replace main line games i'd say the second is the real one.
Mobile "games" are autistic so yea #1 is true too.
>>27002401
>refusing to back down after being proven wrong
>calling the previous poster autistic for partaking in a game mechanic
>thinks pokemon is only ever about catching them all when it contains other game mechanics
Okay, kid. I think we all know the autist here.
>>27002412
I can imagine it now. Some retard trading in all 151 pokemon into their game after the first gym, and then saying they beat the game because they filled the Pokedex. This is next level retardation or baiting.
>>27002451
and after you beat Red, you finish the pokedex
pokemon master = full pokedex
I know. It's completely utter shit. I haven't played yet but is clearly a casualisation of the game for genwuners and casuals
>>27002475
>replace main games

What the hell are you complaining about, niggers? You should be grateful that even Pokémon games have nigger characters, like Iris, Lenora or Jynx.
>>27002499
>>27002484
People who didn't play RBY shouldn't be allowed to post
http://www.glitterberri.com/pokemon-red-blue/game-freak-staff-interview/creating-the-game/
>Q: Why did you decide to have 151 Pokémon?
>A: Sugimori: At first, the game was more RPG-like. It was only in the middle of development that the goal of the game became completing your Pokédex. That’s when memory capacity and deciding on a good number of characters became an issue. We actually wanted to have more. We designed around 1.5 times more characters we actually used.
Battling was always the primary focus of Pokémon, catching 'em all was only added as a side goal in the middle of development.
>>27002499
I can imagine it now. Some retard trading in their EV trained lvl 100 pokemon in the first city, and then saying they beat the game because they steamrolled the story. This is next level retardation or baiting.
>>27002515
Then why the fuck are you posting?
>>27002513
>What the hell are you complaining about, niggers? You should be grateful that even Pokémon games have nigger characters, like Iris, Lenora or Jynx.
>>27002515
Then why are you posting. Only someone who didn't play the games wouldn't understand that battling is the most important aspect of the game, and is the only way to beat the game.
>>27002501
that's just another part of the game. i'm not saying battling is the most important, i'm not saying catching them all isn't important. i'm saying that it seems your grossly dismissing battling as an important mechanic of the game. hell, they hold pokemon tournaments where you can win big money (in the form of scholarships) where you battle the pokemon. battling and collecting are both equally important, and to rule out one over the other is silly
I don't even know why you faggots are arguing
It's a fun little time waster for people who like to go on walks that are interested in the franchise.
Who gives a fuck, why are you so fucking mad? Get over it jesus fuck

>battling is the most important aspect of the game
fuck off autisitc smogonfag
The tagline of the series was GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL until gen 3
>>27002531
Yes that would be beating the game. Not a good way to beat the game like any RPG, you shouldn't overlevel, but it would still be beating the game.
>>27002511
go fuck yourself if you want me to waste time and gather all those posts. sift through the shit yourself if you wanna see them, its not hard to find all the threads have the same fucking OP pic.
And best of all if i spoon feed you whats over in the next thread you'd just go "well thats just like your opinion, man".
You're reminding me of the logic used in those shitty gardevoir threads
>>27002571
>claims to know the roots of the series
>previous post contains a quote from Sugimori that collecting was added in mid-development.
You're not fooling anyone.
>people's shitposting argument is "roots of the series" when in the first 2 minutes of RBY you fight your rival and catching other pokemon is optional for the entire game
Why are some people allowed to breathe
>>27002595
Catching them all didn't beat the game though. Battling did. I never caught them all back then but I still beat the game many times over.
>>27002605
>go fuck yourself if you want me to waste time and gather all those posts. sift through the shit yourself if you wanna see them, its not hard to find all the threads have the same fucking OP pic.
This is not how you win an argument
>And best of all if i spoon feed you whats over in the next thread you'd just go "well thats just like your opinion, man".
But that's my fucking point - you don't have to like it but you can's shit on it either - some people like it some don't GET OVER IT
>>27001929
>Battling wasn't important in the beginning
Man, I like Go and all, but this is some intense shilling
>>27002635
>catching other pokemon is optional for the entire game
Technically not true, I don't think there are any starters that can learn all the mandatory HM moves.
>>27002667
>This is not how you win an argument
pat yourself on the back then, see if i care
>>27002554You forgot "all lives matter, you nigger racists" and that's basically me ... and 90% of 4chan, actually. But i had a good laugh, thanks~
>>27002693
Now who is copping out Gardevoir style
>>27002667
there's a difference between liking it and shitting on the opinions of people who don't.
If you like something, that's cool. But admit that it has flaws when they're pointed out, and respect the opinion of people who don't like it.
Otherwise you're being a stubborn asshole.
Pokemon GO has a lot of flaws. But it just came out and it was developed by a third party. That's okay. But own up to those flaws and don't try to defend the false idea that it's the best mobile game ever.

>>27002775
>Playing games.
>Being on /vp/
Pick one.
>>27002771
don't forget the whole 'don't create lies about pokemon's roots' part, but yeah that's fair.
>>27002771
But nearly everyone is saying it has flaws - it's a phone game, it is designed to be a certain way - a lot of the flaws are inherit if you expect it to be something it isn't.
People saying it needs to have battling are missing the point of the game. It's like being mad the pokewalker didn't have battling or the main games don't have a pokemon snap option.
Yes there are a lot of flaws, but bitching that it's not a different game isn't valid.
>>27002822
>It's like being mad the pokewalker didn't have battling
But it did have battling! Even this tiny little calculator-ass widget had battling in it that this $80-MTX phone game has skimped on!
man this board is fucking cancer
>>27002685
Theres no water flying starter so no
>>27002822
But it was advertised to us as a pokemon game for our phones. The fucking commercial for it even implies battling! If you don't think it's understandable that people are upset about that, then you're just wrong.
https://youtu.be/2sj2iQyBTQs for source, since you have to be shown something in order for you to believe it.
Also, >>27002894 is right. The pokewalker did have battling. It was really shitty battling, but it had it.
>>27001929
If the first games didn't included battling pokemon would have never succeeded and it would have died on release
>>27003014
>implies
The commercial straight says "Go Battle" and has one player attack another player, that's more a statement there will be battling, rather than implying.
>>27003007
Fly isn't mandatory. I'm thinking of Cut, Strength, and Surf in Gen 1.
Though, I guess you could use the gift Lapras to surf and choose Charizard to Cut and use Strength.
>>27003121
>Cut and Strength on Charizard
>No move deleter
Why don't you play until Cerulean, then release everything but Kakuna, toss pokeballs and blackout until you have no money?
>>27003213
level 30 charmeleon has no problems with misty.
>>27003226
>then release everything
I was just joking about playing without caring of the in-game consequences
>battling
>>27003259
fair but that doesn't change the fact that yes, you can technically beat the game without ever catching a pokemon if you just use your starter and the free lapras that's given to you.
>>27003213
It's not like RBY has good enough movesets that you can put all four moves to use. Strength is an okay move, grab STAB Flamethrower or Fire Blast, is there anything else you could need?
>>27003292
I know and agree, but it's still crappy teaching Strength and Cut to your Charizard
>>27003318
On Charizard? Earthquake, or Body Slam
>>27003357
>Earthquake
Good point, so that's another move slot.
>Body Slam
While it is slightly better than Strength due to the para chance I wouldn't say it's that big a boost.

I really like the game so far, but are you sure it doesn't have battling?
I just caught a Blastoise that had 176cp and 32hp, are you telling me I can't battle my friends at all when we get together?
