Pokemon GO is going to be the revival of the franchise, isn't it?
Pokemania soon
>>27043551
Seems like it.
>>27043551
shut up newfag, there is but one pokemania,and you missed it by about two decades.
>>27043626
I didn't miss it, I just want it back
>>27043626
The denial is strong in this one. 10 of my friends who haven't played Pokemon in years have started playing the app.
EVERYONE has started to play GO it's honestly ridiculous these are the same guys that told me Pokemon was lame
>>27043551
No, it will be a fad like twitch plays pokemon
This isn't anywhere close to the level of Pokemania in the 90s. I guess the closest thing that reaches Pokemania levels of popularity these days is Minecraft.
>>27044159
This, sadly.
>annoying gen 1 nostalgia right now
>by the time the other gens get added the fad will be will over by then and none of these normies will learn to appreciate stumbling into something like Beautifly
>>27044240
It's a fucking shame, really. Game Freak/Niantic have the chance to do something great here that could revitalize the whole franchise but they're botching it as it seems.
>Gen 1 remake incoming
>>27043551
Define "revival"
If you just mean in the sense of people playing it, it might.
If you mean regarding the spirit or quality of the games FUCK no, if this game gets popular Pokémon is going to be killed quality-wise when GF turns the mainline games into a mobile series.
>all these buttmad people who use the term GENWUN unrionically
Face it. Gen 1 sells.
>>27044159
Just like this Mitoto thing
>>27043626
How does it feel being an old fuck wasting away your life posting on a brazilian board about chinese cartoons?
Seriously, people like you make me happy to be a hoennbaby. I wonder if I'll automatically become a jaded fuck like the rest of /vp/ next year when I turn 20.
>>27044159
>pokemon go gets loads of cash
>becomes a trend
>trends always die
>the game is improved to the point that it's actually playable
>everyone drops the game
>only lingering players are people who care about the game not the trend
Sound like what happened to the main game. I would be fine with this.
>>27046358
Mobile games are risky because of how finicky and distracted the casual mobile player is. People were told this was going to be something way bigger than it is. They'll lose interest pretty quick, I imagine.
>>27046487
Nobody knew much about it. Especially the general population. All most people know before they download the app is "pokemon" and "mobile game". There is a small chance a few of them know it's only the original pokemon.
Mobile games rely on a handful of players, less than 5%, to spend most of the money. A small percentage of players spend most of the money. Everyone else spends little or no money. It's like gambling. No, it is gambling.
>>27043551
no it's going to die even faster than pokemon as a fad in the 90s
>>27044159
TPP did bring back some old fans for good though, and there's a difference in that Go is way more personal than TPP
Been running around my area, finding yellow people hunting pokemon.
Game is insanely popular, yet vpfags try to make us feel bad about it
>not gonna work desu
>>27044159
So like Pokemania then because that was also a fad.
>>27046627
also apart from some of the memes, tpp wasn't nearly as big as this is.
>>27046783
>vp
Okay, newfag, then why not go literally anywhere else to discuss it? all you're doing is flooding and shitting up the board.
>>27046976
because its a Pokemon game and this is the Pokemon board you autist
>>27046354
Yep, you will. More likely when you're 22 though
>>27044284
More like they made a bare bones game in purpose so you go buy that next shitty 3ds game
>>27044284
Think of it like this. Let's say they go higher than Gen 1, but it flops. That would be a waste of money in hindsight; so, they're trying it out with only one generation to see if it's a good idea.
>>27043551
I've never had an interest in Pokémon. However with the release of Pokémon go I decided to download it so that I can play it with my son. This is the coolest game.
>I'm old.
Pokemon is going to emerge from these turbulent political times (brexit, racial tension in us, shitshow election, etc) to establish a peaceful one world order based on harmony, diversity, friendship, respect, and capturing Pokemon.
>>27046097
So does Justin Bieber
Your point?
>>27044240
>implying this isn't going to be a bar crawl staple for years
>>27048787
It wont
>>27048787
Holy shit I never even considered that!
>nintendo stock jumps up 8% just because of pokemon GO
It's the gen wunner revival, all you non-gen wunners are about to get btfo
>>27048768
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAShit's going to go south really soon and I'm scared.
>Pokemon was super huge with kids in the 90s
>"Hey guys, look at all the adults playing Pokemon, it's just like 20 years ago!"
>>27048822
I'm hoping Octillery Clinton's inability to be phased by literally anything will keep us safe but...yeah. u right anon u right
>>27048768
Damn, I thought I could escape by coming to the Pokemon board...
>>27048875
There are no brakes on this train...
>>27043551
the only way that would happen is if they start adding the new generation Pokemon.
>You lure normie shits with nostalgia and a casual freemium crap game.
>Anyone can get into the games, and its a somewhat social experience so its normie friendly
>You start adding a bunch of Pokemon from new generations, people like them, dismissing all the meme trash genwunner logic
>Pokemania 2.0
>>27048868
>tfw black Pokémon pals
>tfw going on Go walks together
>tfw interracial survival squad after the American Race War
>>27048956
My dad works for Nintendo. This is their plan exactly.
>>27048956
I'm wondering if the Alola Pokemon will come leading up to Sun Moon, on the same day of release, or some time after. And if so, how the release of other gens plays in.
>>27047192
Okay normie
Keep shoveling normalfag shit down your throat cause it's popular
Might as well turn on the radio and blast Justin Bieber too, that's insanely popular
>>27048773
Lmao id love to hear what kind of music you like, fampai
>>27050011
>>27049189
You too lol
>>27043626
>spot the genwunner easy edition
>>27043663
thats because they are normies
>>27048719
it cost 30 million to make this game.
you are talking out your ass.
>>27043551
it only plays on the nostalgia, don't expect anyone aside gen1-gen2 guys being into it, that is nostalgiafigs
wants to help pokemon? fire masuda and beg satoshi with old staff to return, ken sugi returns to old dragonballesque style too
he fucked up franchise beyond redemption
the best thing is we can say that arceus never happened and all was a demiurgic lie of the artificial realm
>>27054818
see on the megaten side they listened to fans scolding them heavily
guy responsible for horribad power rangers-tier designs in SMTIV got fired, a "season artist", what could be have been tried to be un-fucked
alike to SMTIII it gots a final version having any continuity to the story whatsoever from total random shit
till Nocturne I mean III barely had much to do with the series xD
hope is the crossover won't be such shit, neither incoming persona
despite being called SMT x FE, game looked way more like shitsona, that is persona post-2 with ebin nyarlanhotep gnatzies thingy
My wild guess is SMTV which could be final installment will try to drifle into the gnostic mythos, if not even batshit stuff like jehovahs and mormons. you know they introduced proto-new age even already xd
they must return to IMAGINE too, certainly! this is how I imagined a pokemon mmorpg if it even was a thing honestly
>>27054818
>arceus never happened and all was a demiurgic lie of the artificial realm
Even acknowledging it just makes it worse though. Like you said, the damage has been done. It's best to just sweep it under the rug and move on.
I hate getting into Pokemon.
It's the only game that makes me give up on life aspirations, because everything I truly ever want is here, handheld.
>>27049189
>Keep shoveling normalfag shit down your throat cause it's popular
ポケモン IS normalfag shit and it IS incredibly popular and has been around the world, since what, 1997?
You're a fucking contrary teenager trying to act like a lot older than you are yet clearly lack experience and aren't capable of doing a convincing job of it. Enjoy pissing away your youth on buzzwords and Internet tribalism while others around you are actually enjoying the related hobbies instead of desperately clinging to an idea of the perceived cyber social hierarchies surrounding them.
It's amazed me how walking down the street I see so many people aged 15-25 playing the game. I was only 6 when pokemania was a thing and it was all I knew, so this is nuts for me.
>>27050453
That's the point. Are you suggesting only hardcore gamurs xd xd were playing pokemon when gen 1 came out? Only pathetic betas such as ourselves kept playing
>nothing has changed
Am I missing something? A bunch of people spazzing about GO? They'll be gone before you know it.
>>27043551
>cancerous growth
>revival
Sure, faggot, and Cheetos are a luxury food.
>>27044184
Frozen a couple of years ago?
>>27049103
It will be dead before Gen 8.
>>27043551
If Niantic doesn't expand the game as soon as possible it will die down in a few weeks.
It's sad really, they had a shot at literally creating a second Pokemania, but they totally underestimated the fanbase, mainstream appeal of Pokemon and mobile games in general. They'll never get another shot at this and they squandered it.
>>27055759
It's okay to have friends and like things anon. There's a big world out there, you can grow up any time you like.
>revival of the franchise
I'm sorry, where did it go?
>>27056191
NO, IT'S NOT!!!!!!! FRIENDS ARE ONLY SOME STUPID TUMBLR FACEBOOK TWITTER REDDIT HUGBOX THING. IT'S COMPLETELY STUPID. YOU'RE ONLY SUPPOSED TO HATE EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING, THAT IS THE WAY THE WORLD IS. THAT IS WHAT SOCIETY IS. THAT IS WHAT SOCIETY WANTS YOU TO BE. FAGGOT NIGGER AUTISTIC CASUAL NORMIE DOODIEHEAD
>>27056280
You forgot to REEEEEEE at the end
