Spoiler: A video

I have no idea why I was listening to this for the past 20 minutes but I enjoyed it.

So this movie wasn’t a fever dream for me then

Ah, yes, I am fan in fandom.

My favorite activities include complaining, complaining about complaining, complaining about complaining about complaining, spending money on games I swore were trash on my Twitter, send death threats to developers who are objectively the root of all evil because they made me sad, and dumping on rival fandom.

The Sonic experience.
And the Pokemon experience.
And the Paper Mario experience.
And the Star Wars experience.
And the Smash Bros experience.
And the..

Thought this image seemed relevant.

due to the sheer size of Pokemon's hatebase, a lot of people are former fans who want the series to be better and have accepted Gamefreak won't make actual improvements in favor of generational gimmicks, because they need to sell merch

I don't understand hatebases like this.

Surely if they really believe nothing will improve, they'd acknowledge that getting angry over a video game is such a huge waste of time and energy that just makes no one happy in the end. But some people seem to just thrive over negativety somehow, and I don't get it. Being angry all the time is just stressful and exhausting.

Because deep down we still love the series and WANT to see it improve, but know it never will and its infuriating.

A lot of fan projects suffer from this. A lot of fan developers often make things hard for the sake of hard simply for the sake of it.

It’s weird, TBH. I can’t tell if it’s amateur game design or fans’ obsession with making everything a Kaizo.

If I wanted Pokemon but with a lot of fake difficulty that makes me want to throw my controller, I'd just play Nocturne.

Getting this car, what funny animal movie should I watch while driving?

Some people are simply wired that way.

A lot of human history can be explained by people being angry all the time and thriving on negativity, tbh.

Which games did you play? I’d love to check ‘em out for future video ideas, as fan games are gonna be a big presence on my channel.

Clockwork, Uranium and Phoenix Rising. The latter is the most ambitious one, imo so I'd give it a shot.

None of them are remotely my thing but I admire the effort that went to them.

I can name several fanbases that would probably benefit from having more earnest criticism instead of people continuously getting angry about almost everything about a series over the course of several entries or seasons.

Simpsons, American Dad, Family Guy, Raw, and SmackDown could possibly end up being the only shows to never end after all these decades (reboots, sequels, and long term franchises aside)

"If it doesn't make you want to literally throw your controller out the window, is it even a real game?"

I'd say that people are too obsessed with making everything a Kaizo, yeah.

A lot of fangames seem to sacrifice good level design for the sake of being difficult. There's nothing wrong with being hard as nails, but you need to really know what you're doing to make it hard as nails and fun.

Sad. Thanks Disney.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

 

[ZephyrZ]

It's also important to remember that a lot of the people making fan games are often super hardcore fans thesmelves, and what might seem like a healthy challenge to them could feel near impossible to someone else.

Ah yes, the one that's pretty dark with radiation, nuclear winter stuff and meltdown.

Spoiler: Spoilers if you lose to CURIE

You will get two game over things:

• The first one has Tandor, the region suffering from a nuclear winter lasting 100 years. You, the player and Theo are never heard of again.
• The second one is what happened after Gamma launched causing a massive thermonuclear detonation with Pokemon League in ruins. Wild Nuclear Pokemon go after survivors who get overwhelmed and maybe killed off with the Rangers failed the stop hordes of them. Some flee from the region but those couldn't make it mourning their losses and Tandor sadly falls into a century of nuclear winter...

I like Pokemon.

It’s cool.

Not flawless, but I dig it.

I tried Insurgence, considered one of the best fangames mind you, and that **** was tough as nails. I got stuck on the fourth gym because the gym leader pulled out a Mega Metagross that easily obliterated my entire team, and then even if I killed it, I still had four more members to deal with. And my Pokemon weren't even underleveled, they were the same as hers. With my team at the same levels, I couldn't hope to beat it. Like literally, the entire game was hard as actual ****. Every fight was unenjoyable due to difficulty, and unless you were running EV trained fully competitive teams or overleveled by about 20 levels, you stood no chance. Can't even overlevel at the league my friend says, they follow your levels. They even can use Max Revives on their ace. It's a very well made game, but it's just too hard to do. It feels like a kaizo run more than an actual kaizo.

And did I mention I was on normal difficulty? Not even hard.

It's why I like Xenoverse so much. It's hard, but not overly so. You can work around any hard boss with anything you like, unlike the restrictive chokehold Insurgence forced on teambuilding. Insurgence is hard yes. But is it fun? No. The game needs to be fun to play, difficulty ain't everything.

Dededisgusting

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Been a bit burnt out lately, and I don’t feel like I’ve had much time to just kick back and relax, so screw it, I’m gonna take a bit of a break and play some more games I haven’t beaten yet. Namely Miitopia on the Switch, BOTW, and Pokémon Shield.

I got BOTW day 1 and I still have not beaten it, geez-

I respect your opinion and as such will not engage in such a fruitless debate.

Good day to you, sir.

One thing I like about that Primeval show was that each episode focused on a different prehistoric creature and fictional ones from the future.
(Imagine a new reboot with new creatures not seen like Ankylosaurus, Dunkleosteus, Tiktaalik and many more!)

Yep, Gamefreak just stopped caring.

I would like to still like pokemon but it's hard to not be critical of the game when there are games that do what pokemon does but better in different ways
