So we're going with the "You just don't understand!!!" defense. I played the entirety of the game.

I'm not a cynical asshole, I like good stories. I don't care if Pokemon has a bad story, just don't make it a point or make it interrupt the game. Black and White did both. I think that's why they downsized it quite a bit in Black and White 2 (although I haven't beaten the game it does feel almost GSC-esque in how Team Who Gives a Fuck is more of a side note than an actual story component).
You know you can still finish a game and not understand?
Just because you played it all doesnt make you an expert on whats going on in it, we've all played it through.
The main point here is how you address what you are talking about. If you didnt like it, thats ok man, just stop nazi'ing it.
You think its bad, alot of people say otherwise but you make it sound like you are the supreme authority on everything thats right sometimes. You're not.
Play pokemon red and blue if you want a game with no direction, its not hard, get an emulator or a gameboy colour.

I do understand though. You're just saying "YOU DON'T YOU'RE WRONG." My criticisms are quite valid, anyone who could understand a narrative would know this.

Also you're acting like I'm so unseasoned Pokemon greenhorn. I played them all. And I don't play them just to hate them, I play them because I enjoy them. Black and White, while serviceable, felt like it was prodding me with annoyances that all the past games didn't experience.

I dont think theres any way to get through to you how wrong you are sometimes.
You can seriously sit down and tell me you're a pokemon fan? No Guild I disagree.
You cant sit down and say things like :
. He's not interesting, he's a dumb character designed for the dumb masses.
And then shrug it off.
Your critisims are annoyingly bias and opinionated.
I know it may be hard to understand, but sometime other people like things that arent what you like.
And its ok, its something we all have to accept. Kay?
 
The storyline was pretty good.

hahahhahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahaahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahhahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhaha!

I think I got that off my chest now.

How can I be biased if I have played Pokemon and enjoy it? In fact wouldn't that lead me to biased in favor of the games? Perhaps you don't understand how biases work.

I'm completely blank on Pokemon. It was part of my childhood but I don't stroke my hard penis over nostalgia. I view it through a completely unfiltered lens. I see it for its strengths and weaknesses, and if you care to research my thoughts on the series, you'll see it acknowledges a lot of pros and cons with it. I'm not biased against the game, my knowledge of narrative tells me that the game has a bad story with bad characters and my knowledge as a gamer tells me that it breaks the flow of the game and is interrupting.

Right now I'm seeing more bias on your end with the "you don't understand" argument seeming like something I've been told by furries, bronies, or insert generic fangroup here of things I don't like. Fact is, for Pokemon especially, I do understand, and I understand it's bad.

I say N is a "dumb character for dumb masses" because he was engineered for target audience appeal. His cornball writing, spiky hairstyle, and demeanor feels like Sonic the Hedgehog mentality. Where all the characters are terrible, cheesy, cardboard cut outs but somehow gain appeal with their fanbase. He's the perfect "make me an avatar/signature" material. In that respect, N is a well designed character. He's designed well at appealing to the fanbase, but the fanbase for Pokemon doesn't strike me as smart or in tune with narrative storytelling or character design.

You talk about the fanbase as if we are some kind of scum, then say you're a fan yourself.
Fuck off
You're not a fan of pokemon, you're a guy who liked the first gen. And thats it. You fail to comprehend the fallacies and bullshit in your opinions and clearly have no middle ground of thought.
You view it through YOUR lens, and your lens is completely different to the lens of normal people.
Stop trying to beg pokemon fan, your not. We're a dumb fan base? Thats your opinion and my opinion is that your opinion is a load of shit.
The only fangroup you like is your own, the ignorance club.

I never said I was a fan of Pokemon, I said I enjoyed the games.

I played every generation of games and enjoyed them all. I have criticisms but I end up enjoying the hours I put into the game.

Right now I'm just perplexed as to why you're getting massively buttmad over Pokemon.

You waltz around gbatemp fucking up every thread about something you dont like, which is fucking everything.
Then you act all innocent, fuck.
If you were a normal member you'd have like a million warns with all the threads you fuck up.
You dont deserve to be staff.
I've had enough of this bullshit, anyone else with a derail record lijke yours would equal 2 bans, 1 unban and a perma ban.
Butt mad? My ass is fucking cool, leave this thread so we can talk about pokemon again, not why guilds opinion is so aweshum

I dunno, you're getting really mad.

But in all reality I have never been some massive "Pokemon hater", look thread my posts and I'll defend it to an extent. Recently I said it'd be a motivational push for me to get a 3DS system (might have been this thread actually) as well as other things.

Right now you're reasoning is just "I'm a Pokemon hater so I'm biased and don't understand" when it's rather clear I'm not.

Also this isn't really off topic or anything, we're discussing the game. Difference is you're starting to rage pretty hard and I'm trying to keep it civil. I wouldn't even say it's me "acting innocent" as much as it is me being innocent in this matter.

Massive fanboyism disease, in this case, caused by the virus P0KÉM0N. It is infectuous and has infected a great deal of pokéfans. Although very few has recovered from it's wrath (such as myself XD). The infectuous disease is still present. Once you encounter one of them and bitch about pokémon, it doesn't matter what you say, They will think they're always right.

It's not even derailed, it's on topic. It'd be derailed if it was about like... animal cruelty or drunk driving on New Year's Eve.

The topic is Pokemon, we talked Pokemon. Things just got a little heated.

We can resume talking about Pokemon like we were before. The only derailing really is people talking about how the thread is derailed.

Topic title: Pokemon January 8th reveal

Topic contents: Waaah! Pokemon sucks! No, it's awesome! But blah blah blah.

I don't see much actual discussion of what the reveal might be, merely people complaining about what they don't like from various generations, like it'll make any difference to the big reveal or indeed the series as a whole. We'd all like Pokemon to be a little more the way we'd do it, but Nintendo have latched on to their current strategy and it's not likely to change any time soon. So why doesn't everyone just calm the fuck down and get back to discussing the pros and cons of each generation without it turning into a slanging match with no real value whatsoever?
