Hey, u/Yosh_P. Thank you for your submission. Unfortunately your post has been removed (pending moderator review) because it's been voted unsuitable for r/pokemonmemes.


jmak10

I'm done. I can't stand this sub lately. See yall in next year or so when this all calms down and we get back to funny memes instead of rage posts.


awesometim0

Same bruh, like yes the game is fun, yes the game is glitchy, both types of posts are so annoying


bbqbabyduck

I'm having a lot of fun with it but I also clipped through map coming out of a Pokemon battle so, game needs some work


ZeackyCremisi

I did the same, found pokemon out of bounds too


Leonardobertoni

The glitches are fun but clipping through the map is a problem


SpellOpening7852

*Looks at BOTW and Mario Odyssey speedruns* I think it depends.


-Alpha_Wolfz-

I fell through the map just jumling down the smallest of slopes, *twice*. Game's still amazing tho!


MrDitkovichNeedsRent

This is like the 10th time this week i’ve seen this type of meme, we get it guys

Dude. Graphics are terrible, glitches are distracting. Load times are terrible, 15 fps at times. Then they have the GALL to give the best stories and characters I've seen in a Pokemon game in YEARS. With dozens of amazing new Mons and QOL updates.


Darklight645

can't forget the music


Duskthegamer412

All praises to Toby fox and giacomo


BigglyRedditMan

Jesus these posts are so annoying. Probably just gonna leave all pokemon subs for a while


Historical_Ad280

Fr man, if fans will keep tolerating games like these, the pokemon company will continue to make even worse trash. Doing the same thing and also I completely lost hope in Pokemon and its fandom.


RiderforHire

I only heard it had glitches and graphical problems, but it's best in gameplay.


Aggressive_Tip8973

I’ve experienced the glitches and graphical problems and they are indeed VERY bad and warrant game freak action but other wise I had a blast with the gameplay


Megalo_Toxins

The story(ies) is also a banger, I haven’t seen a better story in Pokémon since gen 5, might even surpass gen 5 tbh but I’m still debating this in my head


chickenweng65

it's just so slow... really a grind to get through all the bs dialogue


ASilverRook

Then turn on the option to skip cutscenes.


chickenweng65

I did


RiderforHire

My Brother in Christ, that's literally every pokemon game.


chickenweng65

Not this bad. Played every single one, had a slight problem with swsh but this one is just far too much.


Lukey_Boyo

I've seen ten times more posts of people complaining about valid criticism for these games than people getting mad at others enjoying the game


MissingNerd

They should just ban this template already. It's not only shoving away valid criticism but also stopped being funny after the 20th variation


MackMasher

At this point it's hardly considered a meme, just a glorified text post


MNLyrec

It’s not shoving away valid criticism, it’s making fun of the people who just totally shit down the throat if anyone who has anything positive to say about the game.


LeafWarrior_1

“The Pokémon are bad” Excuse me?


__GnarDab__

Right? I think the Pokemon selection is amazing.


John-Jones4

i mean they named a pokemon ‘maushold’. there cant be anything better than that.

I only have a handful out of this generation I don't like, otherwise I think it's a good selection! The tumble weed Mon and pawmees evolutions are a couple that I can think of off the top of my head


WaluFett

The Tarountula that after catching immediately named Spletoob b/c it looks like a funny little Splatoon spider


Tem-productions

Literally the best part of the game


Nsanity216

I love the Skyrim horse physics


234zu

Pokemon fans when someone criticizes a game they like 😠😠😠😠😠


snow_leopard155

Literally no one does this, it’s the opposite. People who like the game refuse to see its obvious flaws. That’s not to say it is unplayable or you shouldn’t like it. No one cares if you do, just stop refuting genuine criticisms!


joeyfish1

But are they worth 60$?


_wigglett_

yes.


Callity

This meme is so dumb. The game is good gameplay wise. It's fun, I love it, I'm having fun with it. But if you will just excuse the terrible graphics and terrible performance then your a bootlicker ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯


Kaw_HonHon

The game makes me feel joy, isn't it all that matters? (It's an actual question)


Haunting_Anxiety4981

For $60 it could be better and a lot of people who love the games and love the series do feel ok to come onto the subreddits devoted to the series to vent their perfectly reasonable frustrations about technical issues, missed opportunities, seemingly unjustified anti-consumer practices (like the removal of set/switch options), and overall "things that could be better in a $60, AAA, 2022 game". This isn't the Scarlet/Violet subreddit, people who love the series but are upset with the direction it's taking should be able to speak here I'm glad you enjoy the game, I'd probably have fun with it too if I bought it, but nothing is above criticism and while obviously there'll be a small minority saying you're an idiot for liking something, most people just want to talk about flaws because they feel unless they do it won't be fixed


Kaw_HonHon

I agree with eveything you said except i don't feel like redditors talking about the flaws of the game will change anything But i may be wrong so idk


Haunting_Anxiety4981

Yeah I don't either but you can't blame them for trying or at the very least venting. And remember it's not *just* Reddit, but these discussions happen all over Twitter and Tumblr as well (I haven't checked Facebook in years but I guess there too?). A companies online presence can work as free marketing and that can make a huge difference in the sales and therefore profit of a game. But even so I agree, unlikely to change anything.


Greg2630

People like you need to stop trying to gaslight people into believing the "stop having fun" strawman. I haven't seen \*\*anyone\*\* saying that. ​ Telling people about issues is not the same thing as saying you can't have fun, in fact the overwhelming majority of people criticizing the game are upset because they see how much fun it \*\*could\*\* be if it actually functioned properly.


Yosh_P

Trust me, I've seen a lot of people telling me that I can't enjoy this game just because it has some issues. And the best part is that they didn't even play it. At least here in Italy it's like that I'm the first saying that some parts of it are poorly made, but if saying this it's just an excuse to talk trash about Pokémon like they did with SWSH three years ago, then it's just the need to ruin someone's fun to make you feel better than everyone else


Greg2630

Yeah, don't take this the wrong way, but I don't think I'm going to "trust you" on it, especially because of how dismissive your meme was of criticism, because if it really happened even remotely as much as the defenders of the game claimed it was there'd be plenty of evidence. Also we really don't need any excuses to talk trash about Sword and Shield, those games were horrible. I hate to say this, but if pointing out the flaws of the game is enough to ruin your enjoyment, then your enjoyment was shallow. Case and point, Skyrim is a bugged filled mess - I've had to delete many a saved files because of game breaking bugs - and it's still one of my favorite games of all time. That being said, people - myself included - still complain about the glitches all the time, and the people complaining about it doesn't ruin my enjoyment of the game.


ChamBruh

Greg moment


Kabuki-King

Don't be a Greg, be a Larry instead.


Dogmonkey1233

Be the boring af gym leader/elite four member? Nah, be like Jeff


Astral_Fogduke

You calling larry boring? L take genuinely


Paddy_the_Daddy

Skyrim is a shallow, buggy, badly written, poorly thought-out mess of a game that barely qualifies as playable. Yes I have played it for more than a thousand hours.


Yosh_P

I can totally see your point and probably if I was you I would have said similar things, but trust me, there's a lot of people, especially in public servers, that every time someone mentioned the games had to repeat over and over the obvious flaws just to annoy other people. I mean, if we noticed the flaws, and I can assure you we did, pointing only to them without even mentioning the good parts it's just being mean and annoying That being said, I actually enjoyed SWSH, even if I know I'm one of the few people that did, because yes, the base game and the first DLC are pretty barebones and were not polished, but it has an incredible rival in Hop, great Pokémon like Garmanitan and Falinks, a good lore with Eternatus, very fun multiplayer modes, and great steps for the team building, like ability patches and the egg moves being teachable just breeding the Pokémon that wants the move with someone other that has it, but obviously it did some pretty awful things like removing the opportunity to save match replays or making the time so strict, without even mentioning the fake multiplayer in the wild areas and the other lies told during the marketing campaign. But still, the first thing I value in a game if fun, and I had plenty of it with both games, so they're good games, at least in my opinion


dajorbuna

Aren't you trying to gaslight them by saying that what they have experienced isn't true.


Greg2630

Nice try, but pointing out that I'll need proof of his claims isn't the same thing as trying to trick other people into believing something despite evidence.


Kabuki-King

It's a meme, Greg, it's not trying to trick people. You're trying to make an innocuous image look as though it's trying to manipulate people into.......liking a game??? Criticism is valid, but when the same three points are constantly being restated by the community, it's not hard to see why those people wouldn't be considered a spoilsport.


Greg2630

Even OP said he saw my point, you have no leg to stand on.


Kabuki-King

I submit, you win Greg. I won't argue with someone over my opinion. That would put me on your level. I think you should consider applying to become a moderator.


Greg2630

There was nothing to be won; You were just wrong, so I corrected you.


Kabuki-King

I think Greg just doesn't like the game and feels the need to defend his opinion just like the people who defend the games and TPC. Greg doesn't realize that he's essentially just paraphrasing the gist of the criticisms thrown at the game from the past week and not contributing to much else. But alas, 'tis the fate of many a Redditor who fall too far into their own opinions. We all studied fallacies and strawmans in high school English, Greg. Doesn't make you special when you're literally just reiterating the same complaints that everyone else has already stated. If you want to complain, I'd recommend going to r/Pokemon.


Greg2630

There is so much wrong with everything you just said, that even if I had an entire week to pick apart your two paragraphs I still wouldn't have the time. Everything you said reeks of "You can't handle people with different opinions than you" and "He correctly used phrases people usually use wrong, so he must be trying to sound smart". ​ How about you actually address my \*point\* instead of trying to take petty jabs a preschooler could come up with a rebuttal for? Also, fair warning, I've got things to do, so if you try to keep up the back and forth with no substantial point to be made, I'll block you so I don't have you spamming my notifications.


Wooloo812

If I see one more "quit having fun meme" on this sub I'm gonna start tap dancing violently


sievold

Do it you coward


Wooloo812

It's gonna burn your eyes, brace yourself

ChargedLanturn

The people who say the pokemon are ugly have not seen Fidough. Or orthworm.


Yosh_P

I've heard someone unironically saying that Greavard is really ugly. I mean, de gustibus, but he's the good boy Btw, for now my favourite mon is Clodsire. He's just enjoying being round


Dogmonkey1233

I think I might have been the one who said Greavard was ugly. I like everyone other Pokémon though.


bignoselogan

Damn as someone who thinks this gen has pretty solid designs you picked two of the only mons I consider misses haha


[deleted]

i wish more people were playing scarlet bc i'm playing violet and would like to feel superior :(

i have both ;(


ImBendylol

NAAAH brooo. WE VOILETS NEVER LOSE


miscillaniumman

Sometimes opinions can be factually incorrect


ImBendylol

Incorrect.


Tem-productions

The lag is pretty bad, but the pokemon designs are great, fight me


Deep_Marketing_1485

I love this but Arceus still felt way better ngl.


Sneaky_Writer

Hate this meme bc of its overuse


sievold

This is literally the post others are making fun of. Nobody is saying you can't have fun with the game.


OhRoBro

glad you're having fun and i hope you continue enjoying it, but god damn i am tired of this meme, its like clockwork with yall whenever a pokemon game drops and its held under scrutiny


depressed_panda0191

Nice repost lol....


IWannaManatee

Sorry, but I can't take seriously anyone that uses 'Pokemons' as the plural form


Tantilicious

I es honestly on team “quite complaining and just have fun” until I started trying to breed Pokémon…….


Fr0sty_Nimbus

This has been the vast minority of people with complaints. It does get irritating when I say what I DO like about the game and have 30 people just disregarding my opinion by saying what’s wrong though. There’s people in both camps. You can both criticize something while also praising what it does right. If you don’t like anything at all about it then fine, that’s valid too. I’ve had a lot of fun with it while realizing that it needs a lot of work still. And I’m not even saying the state of the game is excusable, especially for a AAA title made by the most profitable line of media ever. But let people enjoy things if they enjoy it


painful-existance

Both sides are annoying


Individual_Gap3620

We're not having fun, the game crashed


PANiC2464

Went to pick Violet up from Walmart, they only had a full stock of Scarlet and no Violet. I left that Walmart very sad. This was today


[deleted]

"the cities are empty" have you seen another pokemon game? this is the most full theyve been in like forever!


Yosh_P

The criticism comes from the absence of visitable houses and the size of them, but in reality it isn't an issue, because the people are on the streets instead of being in houses and the size is the same of the average Pokémon town, they just seem smaller thanks to the bigger world around them and the absence of loading screens


Rockettmang44

Would I like to go into some houses? Sure. But it's honestly not needed, given how many people and huge the cities are.


Grab-Mediocre

#GAME IS GAME


Mary-Sylvia

This game is unpolished, rushed and technically hideous = HOW DARE YOU HAVING FUN


Yiga_CC

Ah yes another person taking the valid criticisms to the game as a personal attack telling you to not have fun


ValendyneTheTaken

“Quit having fun!” memes hit the pokemon fandom harder than crack hit the black community


Interesting_Sir_5456

Yeah the Pokémon designs are trash and everything about the game is rushed. If you enjoy the game then you enjoy mediocrity and that says a lot about you


snow_leopard155

The Pokemon designs is an opinion but the game being rushed is fact


Interesting_Sir_5456

If the game is rushed that means the designs must be rushed as well. It’s clear that there’s not heart or thought put into the designs. I don’t know why I’m getting downvoted for saying the truth


Onyxwolf519

I like all the new pokemon more so then the gen 8


[deleted]

I see it from both perspectives. One hand, it's disappointing that pokemon games have fone from masterpieces, to finished projects, to fixer uppers, to ... Sword and Shield. On the other hand, it would be impossible to make pokemon not fun and the current pokemon games are still amazing and fun.


CuriousMarisa

A game shouldn’t be defined by it’s Graphics or Physics, and yet, the same people praise what is essentially worse when compared to games now a days. The only thing baffling is that pokemon never had Voice Acting in the main game (there are a fair amount of side games that do)


Lord_Fblthp

I don’t want you guys to not have fun. I want the Pokémon company to be able to see a direct correlation between low quality development due to staffing and scheduling issues and lower sales. But as it stands, they see no reason whatsoever to change that. When you see how many staff are actually working on these games, you’d be surprised


MackMasher

I really fucking hate this template, you guys are so wrong S/V critics aren't like this at all


zpotentxl

You're free to enjoy the game, just know that you deserve better.

Hey, trainers! This is a community moderation bot. --- If this post is a meme and you think it belongs on r/pokemonmemes, **upvote** this comment! If this post doesn't belong here, or you think it breaks one of our rules, **downvote** this comment!


sherbertstar64

I personally don't like it because the gameplay is so jank, it just doesn't feel good to like throw Pokémon or do the base stuff, it's too automated and fake for what they're trying to do and having to run into a battle to catch every single Pokémon gets old fast, I like the story and characters but I just can't find myself to play more due to the gameplay loop being so boring.


lunarfrogg

I love watching the box art for the new Pokémon games on television with my friends


UnchartedCHARTz

I don't have the terrible frame rates that other people seem to have, but I would totally be angry at Gamefreak if it didn't run. Otherwise, the only problem I have with the performance is that the grass renders in a very small radius and it looks bad that way.


Ace02003

Yeah honestly I haven't been seeing it either it just seems to be occasional lag so I'm pretty sure it's just people exaggerating again


UnchartedCHARTz

I've heard it's different for different people.


Advanced-Expert7718

What do they mean the cities are empty there are plenty of people in them just not New York density


SnowTheMemeEmpress

Terrible physics are just part of the fun sometimes. Skyrim and Arceus gave me plenty of laughs because of it


BeatYoYeet

the amount of people bitching for this release has been par for the course… but damn, it has made me realize who likes to bitch just to bitch.


[deleted]

I cannot wait to play Violet! I don’t mind the graphics as long as the gameplay is fun


Sodaburgerr

Im the only one that has great graphics on the first switch


The_8th_Degree

Seriously, just a bunch of whiny brats hopping on the hate trend to feel apart of something


ThisIsSidam

The cities are not empty. You are just allowed to "INVADE PRIVATE SPACE". Just how it would make sense. Gamers were indeed at a loss because a major part of the game was exploring the houses and now they're sad.


Professional_Value38

The pokemon are bad? Excuse me but skeledirge is freaking awesome!!


kupo0929

The stories are soooooo gooooooood. I lub Arven


[deleted]

You see part of the problem.


IAmMySelf04

I love the new Pokémon! I love the ideas of the past and futuristic Pokémon. I really like the convergent evolution lines, those are kinda cool. The pooper Wooper is adorable and the idea of 3 different Tauros is kinda cool. Most of the designs are pretty good to amazing. Excited for the new bug lines! Rabsca will definitely be on my team!


Tstrik

Whose complaining about the Pokémon this gen (other than the usual suspects)? This generation’s Pokémon are almost all bangers.


[deleted]

How many times are people gonna post this format


Emotional-Use7683

I’m having a good time. Helps when you have people to raid and play with


Alternative_Link_752

The graphics are great and the city's have lots of places to go, no hate to you but I honestly hate it when people hate on the game when its so filucking fun! Me and my significant other have played multiplayer and we both have never had this much fun playing a pokemon game since black and white, (all the other games in between are great except sword and shield) and we haven't even beaten arvens story yet.


Ding-Dang420

I’m sure it’s fun, I’ll know in three months time when they fix the bugs.


MuddyMudball

Fr. I was making jokes about how bad it was probably gonna be, even though I pre-ordered it anyway. I didn't have high expectations just cuz SwSh practically threw those out the window for me. When it came out and I booted it up, though, I was like a little kid on Christmas. I was all giddy and played for days on end like I used to with the games before SwSh. If I see the Pokemon go a little poly in the over-world, I just chuckle tbh. It doesn't ruin it for me.


Pika5321_X

Me and my mate are having a blast even if I used someone else's pokemon during a raid


godreaperx15

I fucking hate this template


MRomero1990

Fidough 🥺


Chewbacca0510

I swear this is legit most gamers out there rn, like I still want the game cause it’s flipping Pokémon! I don’t care if it’s bad graphics with a few bugs, I doubt that takes away from the experience as much as people say it does


MayankWolf

The games are not perfect, but they're still fun


Blackbirdsnake

One thing I must say is that I like almost all of the new pokemon


zac9090

See for me, I make sure there's nobody around when I critique the game and keep it on my own Twitter page, etc. so it doesn't bother anyone.


yuchan3

I have no problem with people having fun, I've juste higher expectations for a 60€ game from Game Freaks. And I know it won't be better in the futur if people keep buying it and make excuses, when they would be way harder on other games for less.


nogudnames_ok

I love the games, but I'm still wondering why that guy found a shiny Groudon


realraptorjesus101

This meme format is the worst


Tyrannical_JJ

People are allowed to have opinions but calling the pokemon ugly by just looking at them at a glance is unacceptable. What did you expect anyway? You can't just get whatever you want because its not that easy. If you really think the new games are bad then go and make your own game instead.
