gaming Pokemon Unite

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,793]

Woooo. After last week's Pokemon show thingy presented us with a new Pokemon Snap and besides that a bunch of worthless trash, Nintendo got people pretty excited about the next presentation, which happened a bit ago.

I present to you, the latest in Pokemon disasters, Pokemon Unite! A "free to start" League of Legends ripoff being developed by the obviously corrupt chinese company, Tencent. That's it. That's all we get. Here is the trailer, which is some of the most tone deaf shit I've ever seen:

Kind of amazing how the beginning of this trailer is so well put together and shows the love and support that people have for this franchise and then The Pokemon Company immediately throws all of that into a grinder. Who in the hell was asking for a Pokemon LoL ripoff from Tencent? I'm gonna guess very few people, maybe like 4 or so. Since this game is "free to start", we know it is going to be filled to the brim with shitty microtransactions. I wouldn't doubt there being plenty of pay to win aspects too.

At this point, I don't know what to think about Pokemon anymore. Sword and Shield, while having some good aspects for sure, was ultimately a pretty lazy and disappointing release with its lack of innovation for the franchise, cut Pokemon, its limp as usual story, ugly visuals and the worst "rival/friend" ever, IE Hop. Since then, we've gotten announcements for things like Pokemon Smile, which is completely pointless, Pokemon Cafe Mix, another "wonderful" mobile game, and Pokemon Snap. Snap is the only good announcement but with how shady this company has been lately, I am now even worried about that one.

There you have it folks. Ultimate disappointment and I didn't even have any expectations to begin with. I actually forgot that there was going to be another presentation like this. Really glad I forgot now. XD

I couldn't care less about Unite. I was just relieved that it wasn't a Lets Go game. Of course, because of GF doing DLC this year I didn't think that would happen anyway, but people were talking about it like it was going to happen, so I still got a little worried.

This is The Pokemon Company's reveal strategy as of late. No matter how good the actual title is, they're going to try to hype it up by introducing it with some video just like that.

Stupid idea with stupid, China-centric execution. Clearly a cash grab. Not surprised about this sort of massive letdown though since gen 8 itself has been one as a whole.
