Hi,
I'm campaining to #savepokemon. With the 5th move, island challange, totems, a executor tree, Pokemon Global Offensive, and some type changes that are JUST PLAIN WRONG (ice type vulpix?).
also, IV training and the fact that it tells you type-effectiveness in-battle? Nintendo are ruining pokemon and the meta.

Yungoos wants to make pokemon great again. But I'm here to make pokemon great again, as it was in the gameboy and sinnoh days.

Put this in your signature if you are against what nintendo are doing with this epic game.

I don't see anything wrong, I love the different things Game Freak are doing with this game.

Yeah, it's such a shame they've decided to take a new direction and actually make the games interesting and fun again. Creativity in the games is the last thing we wanna see. :( Hopefully they'll go back to the days of rehashing the same thing time and time again.
It would've been nice if GF had spread Alola's creativity to the earlier gens.

I personally love the new concepts, actually the power moves thing for me is a bit pushing it but I'll live, but otherwise, the region is beautiful there's no doubt about it.
It's bringing in NEW concepts, NEW designs, NEW plot, NEW storyline, NEW creativity. Generation 7 is bringing in a lot of baggage to make this yet one of the most memorable generations imo, if they'd just followed the basic story board, it'll just be as boring as Black & White + XY + ORAS (imo sorry all who like those games a lot).

Plus. How dare you question the Ice Vulpix. It's amazeballs.

I am more mad that isnt ice/ghost, but with more 20 years with gyms and blah blah blah, do you think is time to explore other things? new and awesome things?

My nigga Exeggutor got a nice revamp, hope he gets a decent stat buff.
No matter what I do I'm labelled as a bad character.

I'm with you.
we want a pokemon game, not a new load of turd.

#Savepokemon - because these games matter. We like gyms. Say NO to ice-type vulpix and iron-type sandshrew.

This happens every generation. People are just afraid of change. Yes, it's new and strange and the Pokemon series is evolving in different ways. Accept it and move on.

This isn't the right way to tackle this situation...and I'm not saying that said situation is bad. So far, I'm pretty satisfied.

Starting a petition or having a hashtag in your signature is unlikely to change anything, sadly. Instead of releasing anger or pent-up emotions on the game devs' decisions and choices, there's probably two things you can do right now:

1. Either start your own Pokemon ROM Hack or fanmade project and 'make Pokemon great again'. Do it yourself so you can fulfill your own vision.

2. Be a bit more flexible and accepting about a game, especially when all details haven't been released yet. There's countless of good things in the game that I'd talk about, but I see no point.

I mean, I guess I'm kind of with you that IV training seems a bit silly and there could have been better ways to make competitive more accessible. Hell, I'd rather like IVs removed in all honestly. But enough of that, let's talk about the rest of your post.

No thank you.

Seriously bro? XD

I get some people are skeptical about this and I am too. This can easily go wrong if not implemented well. But this isn't some other AAA gaming company mukting out games without any effort put into them. This is Gamefreak. I trust that they can at least make a decent game. So, for now, I would calm down and wait for more information. Just because there are new things in a game it automatically means it's going to suck. That's ridiculous! What matters most is that the new additions to the games are implemented well.

We have had the same formula for 20 years. 20 years of the same formula with little to no changes to the plot of the story. This is needed. Don't get me wrong. I love the formula, I love being the champion, I love gym leaders and gym challenges, but there needs to be change and it needs to happen now. New pokemon with new forms are interesting. A 5th move slot can help so much in battle, preventing fifth battle move syndrome. Totem pokemon/Island challenges make the world feel more unique and interesting. The Pokemon world is already interesting, but this makes it better. It makes Pokemon feel more alive.

You may be a little upset, but give it a try at least. You never know what might happen. If it works, it works. If it doesn't, Gamefreak can learn and move on.

You're in luck pal, you'll find that this is a Pokémon game! I know, what a shocker right?

Give it a chance guys. I think you'll like it more than you know. :)
It's not.
I want a PROPER Pokemon game.
No Mega, No "Alola Forms" , No Freaking Ice-Type Vulpix.
I want a Pokemon game like Platinum or the originals.

I only hope all this crap gamefreak are making isn't real.

Oh... Wow.

Like, I am already very impressed with all the new changes they've made to the game. Pokemon was so predictable-- Kicking the bad guys' butt, challenging the Gym leaders then the Elite 4 and Champion. We could do with the changes and I am glad they implement the changes.

P.S - The new typing for older Pokemon made senses to me too. Animals also evolve and adapt to their environment, and I am actually happy to see an Ice type Vulpix.

In a way, they've already saved Pokemon by having new ideas, new fun, and new challenge instead of the similar plot all over again.

So... What you're saying is... You want the series to stagnate. Forget progress, change, and interesting new mechanics, let's rehash the exact same game forever and ever until everyone eventually loses interest. Let me guess, you complained about Mega-evolutions too?
The series is changing, get over it. It's been literally 20 years, Pokemon is far overdue for a massive revamp. If it's really that tragic and heartbreaking to you that the game isn't the exact same formula anymore, feel free to play Platinum for the rest of your life or make your own Pokemon game.
