You mean Poster 2 again because that "I like the game" would be one of the replies to criticism. It really is close to a one way street to be honest. Plenty of people who have been and are highly critical of the games are still enjoying them, myself included, which is totally fine as someone can still be critical of the things they enjoy, but more people should realize that.

You forgot scouring twitter to find positive opinions so they can harass people and sending death threats.
Eh.. I know this is a common joke but I'm 100% sure that if they do another "upper version" there will be a DLC option. Yokai-Watch did it and Monster Hunter did it.
That's fucking crazy. Seemed like a solid result for shipped, never mind sold-through!
Nah, its thanks to it being the biggest IP in the world on the hottest console.
So the majority are always the objectively correct?
It sold well so none of the flaws people bring up with the game actually exist?
I doubt it. They want that $60. They even have a built-in set up for another Galar game by setting it in another year when the major league teams have rotated.
Pokémon fucking Gigamaxed
(I'm gonna have to make a Meowth gif soon depending on the legs)
Seriously. I've seen a few Youtubers who are afraid to talk about the game because of that shit.
What is with people?
It sold well.
It has huge flaws and the franchise as a whole has wasted potential.
GameFreak lied to the public about the development of the game.
All of these statements can be true, they aren't mutually exclusive. Trying to make out like they are so you can "win" against your "enemy" is the kind of mentality that is the problem in the world today.
If anything the fact that game freak can turn out half assed games like Sword and Shield and sell millions is exactly why Pokemon is such the stagnant franchise it is. No matter how fun you think the game is you can't argue it's an impressive AAA title.
That happened in this forum? That'd be terrible.
And holy shit the figures are from launch week only? That's fucking crazy!
Those devs aren't part of the 3 comma club. DLC is poor dev shit
That's not what I was trying to say. I was talking about the good sales figures.
No surprise. Pokemon had been huge since its inception, Pokemon Go raised the IP's mindshare to an even higher level again, and combined with Switch being on fire, it was a no brainer this was going to do gangbusters.
Imo they're good, complete, but flawed games that would have been much better if they had an extra year of dev time. I'm glad they're not broken, but there's obviously a lot that they originally planned that had to get cut, not even counting the dex stuff.
I still hope whoever makes these decisions can lengthen the development period for the gen 9 games, but I don't know if they'll be inclined to do that after these sales numbers lol

The game got a 82 on Metacritic and 80 on Open Critic which is on par with most Pokemon games and a decent result overall. I not sure what metrics are using that this is some widely dislike entry.
Yea I get all that, I'm just pointing out it's weird to act like it doesn't matter, only to later reveal that you really do care after all. But that bit about it being an emotional thing is prolly spot-on
No, but I can't think of anything more pathetic than cheerleading the massive financial success of a multi-billion dollar company that you have no actual stake in and thus, disincetivizing them from actually improving their product.
Anyone doing that should be ashamed and banned from whatever community they are sending it from but that's not the majority of people that have issues with these games.
Or your trying to attribute shitty things to a larger group of people.
I just hope the numerous flaws this game has doesn't drown out with these huge sales. I really hope they take a break next year.
By this logic, Nickelback was one of the greatest bands of the 2000s and the Velvet Underground was complete dogshit.
Exactly.
Yeah, not at all, what are you talking about?
First: most competitive Pokémon do not need Hidden Power, so it can't be the biggest waste time.
Second: the biggest waste of time are EVs and IVs.
Both are doable, but they take way more than 5 minutes. Levelling six Pokémon to levell 100, getting six Bottle caps, and EV training takes a lot of time.
#ThankYouGameFreak.
Seriously. It's a great game and I'm glad to see all the dumbass "controversy" around it didn't hurt it.
Keep on sellin'!

User banned (1 day): inflammatory accusation
"It's only a few people that act like like rabid lunatics!"
This will really help the mental well-being of people being attacked and threatened over liking a game.
Y'all always so quick to dismiss the personal plight of people affected by this shit. I guess it's really about ethics in game development.
I can think of something more pathetic, being angry with people who are enjoying a game.
There is literally no situation in the game or in multiplayer where you've ever need to level a pokemon up to anywhere near 100 and doing so is entirely on you if you
Its pretty clear what they mean.
People here are definitively not saying what they want to because rules of the forum dont allow it, even if they dont get enforced all that strictly.
Its why lots of people changed from calling gamefreak lazy to calling them unambitius once mods started enforcing the no lazy dev rethoric rule.
Super impressive sales and it's still got the whole holiday season to come. We may yet see Pokémon get close to the 20 million mark again.
Also for those trying to shit down the critics because it sold well this doesn't change my opinion. Having now played a friends copy the game is even more flawed than I thought it would be and no amount of sales will change my mind on this.

What flaws? Don't you know it selling well means people like this game and their are no issues?
Stop being toxic./s
You are so quick to blame anyone who doesn't like it that we are going to threaten ones who do which is totally the opposite of what's happening. Keep speaking out of your ass.
Actually:
It sold well.
It has minor technical performance flaws which should be fixed in next years iteration, and a back loaded story imo.
GameFreak didn't lie to the public about the development of the game.
Every structural change they made to the game made it better.
The game isn't half assed and pushes the series forward in key ways.

I feel its the opposite, reaching DS tier sales more then likely means that they will see this as a chance to sit on their laurels and do some introspection for the DP remakes or whatever will come next.
I think this is coming, and is not a dream scenario.
Lots of 3rd Version improvements have been included, the majority of the G-Max forms are unavailable for now, and with how self contained the games are along with B2W2 tier story progress in the post league it feels like they are gearing up for something like this. There really is no room for a 3rd version and a sequel will havr less impact then B2W2 because it already sets up a lot of potential plot threads and leaves little to imagination.
Or maybe there is something you and a lot of others don't understand?
That Pokemon is not, and not trying to be, an "AAA title".
And it is amazing that it can sell this much without relying on graphics or its world size like almost every game out there ??
Like Rocket League, Fortnite, Minecraft and many others, this is a family friendly game, it is all about digital pets having competition against each other and having fun, that is all.
If they do another Galar game I hope it's sequels. New starting island based on Northern Ireland, expanded routes in the main island, improved towns, slightly expanded Wild Area, some gym leaders rotated out, 200 or more additional old Pokemon, the 4 fossils revived in their true forms, a new mascot Legendary that can use the sword or shield and has an ultimate form where it uses both, expanded post game, make exp share optional again and introduce a better LoD system so models don't pop out of existence 10 feet away.
Oh yeah, and make TRs less grindy.
It has more than minor technical flaws and they have lied to the public. The game has tons of flaws and hopefully the next iteration will be better but this one is a dissapointment.
Ah so the complainers are all terrible people who must agree with the jackasses harassing people. Do I seriously need to preface every fucking post complaining about Pokemon with "I do not support harassing people?"
Meanwhile people are allowed to personally insult others like Kojima and no one bats an eye.
You're aware that lazy and unambitious mean different things I hope?
Are you implying that people would post death threats towards GF here if it was allowed?
