I remember this shit being hyped everywhere, but now I barely see anyone talking about it, what happened?
Even PokeGO is still somewhat popular after all these years.

Probably 75% of the potential playerbase couldn't play it.
It's just not good.
turns out people who aren't addicted to gachashit don't play gachashit
it's a blatant gacha cashgrab meant to only milk money out of whales. it has nothing to offer anyone with half a brain.
>lackluster 3v3 format with only 2 attacks moveslot
>stats improvements locked behind excessive grinding unless you pay money
>multiplayer mode locked behind a story mode full of wall stages designed to force the player to either grind endlessly or buy stats
>awful story mode that only consists on a glorified beat’em
>all the meta relevant pokemon are locked behind paywalls that required to roll for lootboxes with an abysmal chance to get the pokemon, and further rolls to get points to level it up
At least the trainer sprites are kino, I cannot stop fapping to Flanery
the launch was a complete disaster, game was pretty much broken, super stingy with premium currency and not good at all. Since then the devs did fix a lot of shit, giving out much more premium currency and drastically cutting the grind down. I'm still playing
>trainer sprites
>only for 64 bits phone
Even the gachashitters don't play it user, it's just not that good of a game.
This, I got my current phone in 2018 and it wasnt supported
>pretty much completely remove the type system, pokemon are only weak to one thing, there's no resistance, and most pokemon only know one type of move.
>status effects are practically useless because every single mid-late stage boss has effect mitigation.
>Most battles are "you have to defeat the enemy before he sync moves", which means trainers that use megas like Cynthia or Steven, who only get max potential after sync moving, are curbed
>trainers who are designed around meme weather effects are also curbed because getting weather going requires you to use low stat trainers
>There is almost zero reason for defensive oriented trainers to exist because higher leveled enemies just bust through them anyways. Poor Glacia
>literally zero (0) new additions to the 3-4* pool. I've been seeing the same fuckers on the majority of my rolls since launch
At least we get L E G S
1. Very shitty launch.
2. It wasn't very fun.
3. Appeals to Waifufags rather then fans of the actual Pokémon since the whole deal is more rolling for Trainers and special variants (read: Swimsuit/Summer Santa/Winter variants like every fucking Waifu Gacha) of the trainers.
4. Fuck the Giovanni grind.
5. Gacha is oversaturated as hell, and Go already filled the "Pokémon Mobage" niche for casuals (as it was/is more casual/F2P friendly)
Masters was pretty bad at the beginning (no content, stingy with gems, useless 3*s, events being coop only, insane amount of mats required to level up and increase cap of trainers, farming nodes giving almost nothing at all) but now is way much better to the point I'm actually doing events and dailies.
Been playing since day 1 btw.
useless status effects haven't been a thing since the old days of obnoxious EX challenges. They're widely used in battle villa. The two best strikers in the game atm are both megas, charizard and garchomp, the latter by abusing weather to deal absurd damage. And glacia is a great support for villa, she had her redemption arc desu
they never put in mrs. ketchum so I don't care
It lacks content and it's boring as shit. The launch was a disaster as well, so bad that they had to apologize.
>anime
they won't add loli serena so it doesn't matter
is gear still worth grinding?
Sync grids seem much better than doing those annoying ex missions.
gear was never worth grinding
People were hyped for a pokemon gacha that had mainline style gameplay (like the SMT gacha using press turn), then it turned out to be random garbage and everyone stopped caring.
They thought people would roll for humans when it's always been about the pokemon.
Unironically wasn't lewd enough.
Can't blame them for getting that notion. Past gen4 the trainers have been better than the pokemon.
It’s pokemon, it’s only lewd for people with a bellybutton fetish
>I remember this shit being hyped everywhere, but now I barely see anyone talking about it, what happened?
Welcome to actual shilling.
they'd be printing money with lewd bikini alts and probably would love to do it but TCPi surely won't let them
exactly. It wasn't lewd enough.
I love Serena and I hope she gets added soon!
>anime serena
lmao
We don't need the crap one
Not like the XY rival is that muchbetter
The absolute retards refuse to make it compatible with tons of phones.
old hag
bro if I want to catch Pokemon I'd just play the mainline. This game is for the humans
What is she busy with?
a particularly loyal tepig
