I know it's late to start one, but 2024 Media Thread
I'll post in there games I played during the year, new experiences or not. I'll probably post some Tier Lists and other stuff in there too
nobody is brave enough to make a "what's a 4chan post that's so embedded in your head that you make shorthand reference to it, even if people might not know what you're talking about" post, but this would be mine
the fact that most of the new pokemon's official artworks are traced 3d models is incredibly sad. offical pokemon artwork was always full of personality and was what best represented the creatures, but now they just look cheap and soulless. how low can this franchise sink, christ
Drew like a dark, fucked up version of samurott haha. Just a glimpse into my dark reality. A full stare into my twisted perspective would make most simply go insane lmao
Sometimes I hear "Demi-Fiend should be a superboss in every game" and I just think it'd be funny if he just showed up as a superboss in Persona 6 or whatever but while your party uses the regular One More system, he just uses Press Turn instead and decimates you if you miss
I'm thinking about doing a "Playthrough Carry Pokémon starter pack" meme when I'm back home by the end of the day , so if there's any suggestion you're thinking of , don't hesitate to give it
I already have some ideas , but I still want to have good things to show lol
Still fucked up that Johto uses so few of its new Pokémon in really any major fight
Like not even joking, before Post Game, in HGSS only 21 of the 100 new Pokémon are used
Did they just take a camera into Mementos to make that video. Did they have to do multiple takes of this whole calling card because one of them made an oopsie or something
They really need to make another male Velvet Room Attendant or use the twins/Lavenza's outfit more because we can't just have every guy wearing Theodore's outfit all the time
Not many people know this, but 12 years ago I wrote a children's book. It sat in the vault, unreleased, for over a decade before I commissioned
@hausofdecline
to illustrate it for me. For the first time ever, I present:
You Are Not Special
Listen, I really like Cynthia and all, I like the fact you can battle her in BW/B2W2, but it hardly counts as a "Jumpscare" when you can decline the fight
The Cynthia jump scare in B/W One of the most fear inducing moments in Pokémon straight up.
Pokémon needs to bring back chaotic encounters like this. This shook me to my core in back in Gen 5.
@RockeyPajamas
Huh, that's kinda interesting that depending on your team formation you may get variations of a dialogue or you might get the full or incomplete dialogue
@PecPkmn
Out of every possible game in existence to compare Pokémon's graphics to
You had to choose FIFA
There was a thousand billion better examples
And you took the one that you shouldn't pick
The way they twist words to make a situation where people are just calling out Palworld for plagiarising designs into making them look like they're defending Pokémon is so unprofessional.
Palworld's probably good, but having its design identity be stolen from Pokémon is not good
Pokémon fans are coming for Palworld, the "Pokémon with guns" game that is taking Steam by storm, because they claim the designs are "stolen" and "lazy."
Some folks are on the other side and just want to start blasting away.
@TheNCSmaster
It's insane how some companies undervalue how much work's needed in voice acting, it's not just reading words on a screen, it's expressing emotions the dialogue and scene are meant to portray, it's no easy job, especially for an entire production, VAs really need better treatment
@PokemonGems
Some of the beta designs are so amazing, look at this beta Mantine. Really sad it didn't make the cut (Btw shout out to @.RacieBeep for creating Sugimori-styled artworks of the Space World '97 Gold and Silver beta Pokémon)
Mr Beast after a body is found hanging from a telephone poll (His next video is about putting an entire town's population to investigate on a serial murder)
@pumthecutiepie
@JohnstoneYT
Honestly it's not that forgettable considering it's part of Mars' team, which is considered one of the harder fights of Sinnoh simply due to how fast and strong Purugly is at that point in the game lol
I genuinely love Teddie, good party member, good character with an interesting premise
And then the writters decided to make him constantly hit on the girls, talk about Yosuke's magazines, and in non-Q2 spin-offs he's just awful. I still love him but yeah Atlus sabotaged him
Please let Pokémon Day be just spin offs or animes and stuff, no mainline games for 2024 please. They need to give more time for their next game, especially if the next console is nearly here, like I don't want to see a new game release until at least 2025 started

@OoCPokemon
The fact that picking Lyra in HGSS Speedruns is the right choice just because Ethan skips directly to the catching tutorial is hillarious to me
