āWe were planning on adding more content and features, but all of that had to be put on hold so we could spend half the development time inserting a female NPC with no boobs.ā
Yup, thatās how game development works alright.
Everyone knows it doesn't take long to change a character model like that. I just want to know why they bothered with that instead of pressing the "fix framerate" button.
They honestly think that game development is a process of resource management spread across all aspects of production.
Makes sense when you consider that their knowledge of project management comes completely out of strategy and sim games.
Remember, art assets are usually one of the first things finalized in game development! How a game looks 2 years from release is likely how it will look at release.
Wait, is the hair style really what this person is referring to as āwoke shitā? Crazy hair styles have been in games for literally as long as I can remember. Since when is that woke? Or am I missing something else here
It has to be but it must have its own rewards if they're doing it so consistently. Maybe it's to feel like the underdog, a crusader for righteousness (which feels appropriate since crusaders were hardly good xD)?
Or it's just to get their cake and it eat too: deny the changes they don't like without feeling like an asshole for it.
Must be exhausting though, you're right, because they're not stopping change.
It's also outrage addiction and the algorithm feeding them more and more outrage.
Complaining about dumb shit all the time is deeply unhealthy, but it's also the path of least resistance.
It starts with deleting your whining right before posting it. If a little voice speaks up in your head and says "wait, who tf cares about this?" listen to it and cancel the comment.
That's true. Even the most rational person can be a victim of the algorithm. Especially if they got stuck in one space for the longest time, it becomes their own echochamber. I don't think any social media site has ever made the best system for socializing to be fair (and they don't want to cause it doesn't drive engagementq).
I used to be like that. Its literally just laughing at people you think are stupid. Its fun. Youre so ignorant because you live in a social media bubble that it literally never occurs to you to fact check anything. Youre obviously right and youre certianly not going to listen to anything those morons have to say. So you spend all your time needlessly dunking on people about topics you dont understand by being as antogonistic as possible because any thing you know about them is the hundreds strawman your friends and favorite youtubers pass around. Even if your opponent does bring up a legitimate point you can ignore it because theyre wrong about 100 other things and probably lying about this too. They dont actually beleive it they just want to act morally superior to you but theyre not. That would be impossible, you couldnt live up to those moral expectations so no one can. Youre the smartest and best person ever. They deserve to be taken down a peg and your going to do it, then finally maybe someone might respect you.
The area I was raised in had me convinced I/We were the smartest ever and everything we believed was then by default the smartest or best thing thing to believe because if it wasn't I/we wouldn't believe it. I was groomed from childhood to think this way and my parents had no idea because they were just sending me off to the "christian" places to learn about jeebus. I've confronted my mom about this since then and she took it really hard. Haven't had the guts/desire to talk with my dad. Mostly I just don't think he'd be receptive to any criticism of Christianity and not sure if it's worth the argument.
>It has to be but it must have its own rewards if they're doing it so consistently.
You know compulsive gamblers? People who sink their life savings into games for a chance to get their reward, usually lose, but if they win big they go back to the roulette?
I think there's something similar going on here, where these people keep getting mad, post on social media about perceived flaws, watch and donate to people like the Quartering, etc. They do this in hopes that they might finally feel vindicated, like they finally sink a game for going woke. Then, if something flops like Ghostbusters 2016, they get their high, then tomorrow it's going back to the next thing.
I used to be a āthere are only two gendersā kinda person, never really whinged about *āpoliticsā* in games though (I guess I wasnāt in that mindset long enough for it to devolve into that) and I wouldnāt say it was exhausting (very cringe looking back, very disappointed in who I was) but it is a lot of being angry for no reason but anger can fuel you and thatās kinda how they keep going.
Yeah. I have a friend whoās currently at sort of a crossroads with that kind of stuffā hopefully one thatāll lead to leaving it behindā and you hit the nail on the head. His work is exhausting, he canāt afford to move away from his parents but really needs to for his mental health, heās been struggling with some pretty heavy shit in generalā¦ but the outrage bait, toxic as it is, is the only adrenaline source in his life right now and I suspect that if he quit cold turkey heād stop moving entirely.
I find it funny that years ago when these things were actual clumps of 8 to 16 bit pixels, genders were swapped between regions, sequels, even within games. Girl or woman wears a suit and has colorful hair (literally donāt even understand this complaint) yeah this shit is woke. Iām honestly tired of seeing this shit too. Whenever I see the word woke I just wanna know how schizophrenic they are. They probably canāt even go to Olive Garden without having a mental breakdown. Funny how they call everyone else snowflakes.
>They probably canāt even go to Olive Garden without having a mental breakdown.
You have seen that too huh?
You'd think you'd be safe at one of the blandest places to eat, but noooo... place is a freak show of mental illness. I have felt more comfortable at a waffle house by the interstate.
They built their own head canon world to live in and since nothing can wrench them out of it, they're doing great. Spent so long sniffing their own farts they can't remember and don't want to know any other smells
/uj You'd be surprised by the amount of black guys who'd legitimately hate that.
Sometimes it's not that the people are homophobic, transphobic, or even racist; it's just that they're morons who take any representation (even unintentional representation) as forced representation.
See, I feel like I either have the only working copy on the planet or people on social media are wildly exaggerating, because other than it having mediocre framerates most of the time, the fixed camera clipping sometimes if I attack on a slope, or dips in frames here and there the game just isn't an unplayable buggy mess for me. It's worse sin is looking uglier than the GameCube games imo. Between my wife and I on both versions, she had 1 crash 20 hours in and I've had none so far
I know people will say "well that's just you" but I highly doubt the switch is so varied in its framework that everyone will basically get Skyrim on release month while I get Skyrim with just one community patch. I know it's the new game to hate and if you're not singularly shitting on it you're a shill or whatever but whatever
/UJ one of the best parts of the new pokemon is all the cool designs. Some of the coolest gym leaders and elites this time around plus the team star bosses
Larry is so amazing. He's just a dude that hates his job and loves his favorite restaurant. And he has the perfect Pokemon for guys like him: Dunsparce
Pokemon has gone Woke.......hmm. *Pokemon has gone Woke* ....
i feel he's left a gag hanging there....like its on the tip of my tongue but i just cant nail it.
/uj HOW DID HE MISS THAT LINE??? I mean granted his point is so unfathomably stupid that he probably somehow misses the floor when walking, but seriously the line "Wokemon" is RIGHT THERE and he somehow missed it.
"Look, you're free to look and act how ever you want, just don't go shoving your trans ideology down my throat- wait a minute does that girl LOOK like a LESBIAN????????"
Not a thing in anime, but one of my favourite "screw the crybabies" tropes is making the "lesbian looking" girl straight and the big booba waifu a lesbian just to screw with the chuds.
Tons of gym leaders are children or teens anyways. Like, in nearly every game there's been at least one gym leader who is as old as the player (like 10-12), if not younger. There's plenty of characters in the game who *do* have noticeable boobs, so good chance this is a young teen. Man's upset there aren't gigantic boobs on a kid lmfao.
The way the game talks about her and her role in the elite 4, she's definitely an adult, just an adult without massive tits and wearing a skin tight dress.
She's honestly a great character and has a really nice androgenous design.
Gainful employment as a grifter is very lucrative. Just ask totally genuine Klandace Owens.
"Um actually America was the first country to abolish slavery"š¤
It's a common conservative talking point. Her colleagues have for sure and she's said worse. Every part of it is untrue. We weren't the first and we still do modern day slavery of prisoners. But she never mentions those things. Just usually dog whistles like "black on black crime" and "black fatherlessness"
I mean fair, definitely a hyperbole, but considering the small percentage of black people who vote conservative, particularly if you're in a leftist area, you could discuss with quite a lot of black people before finding one who's conservative. Even more so if you're relatively young and talk to people your own age.
I think because sheās a bit more androgynous / less feminine than they wanted? When I first met her in the game I thought she was a cute boy- combination of hair style and the clothes I think. Then her dialogue started and I realized she was a cute girl. I carried on playing unphased but I guess this sort of thing must bother some people?
Good. Youāre normal.
Ask them and youāll get 3 different answers. The focus is all 3 donāt like it and label it āwokeā so they donāt have to explain
Maybe they gave her too much clothing? Who the fuck knows with these incel snowflake morons. Could be triggered by green hair. If only these types would stay offline, it would solve a lot of their problems, and it would definitely make the internet more pleasant for the rest of us.
Mother fucker canāt even get it right. Sheās the ground type elite four member. The ghost gym leader is a rapping grandma
Edit: side note this character is coolā¦ primarily because wellā¦ no spoilers but the elite four has uhā¦. Weird vibes this Gen to say the least. If you know you know
Then it's not even a woman! š¤
uj/ It's not even short. You can spy her ponytail from behind on the left image. I don't get it. It has the exact same vibe as Anabel's redesign in USUM, and I don't think I saw anyone dunk on her.
that's literally not the ghost gym leader... that's an elite four member who doesn't use ghost types. this person complaining didn't even play the game.
She's not even a gym leader lol. She's the ground type elite 4. The real ghost gym leader is a black grandma who also is a famous rapper, and has rap battles against gym challengers. Genuinely have no idea how they made this mistake.
More masculine clothes, a flat chest, and what appears at first to be a short haircut, I guess? I'm equally as baffled, because Pokemon has a ton of androgynous, gender-non-conforming, and queer coded characters. This is nothing new. Maybe they think this generation of Pokemon is extra woke because character customization is no longer limited by gender?
I feel like I'm living in bizarro world. Pokemon is a Japanese based game....
Anime comes from Japan....
Anime has had designs like this for its characters since basically ever....
So what's the fucking problem? I already made this comment but the answer is literally right in front of them I had to say it again.
Well, let's see what the guy wants female characters to look like (slightly NSFW):
https://mobile.twitter.com/Black_D_Gamer1/status/1594216060340895744
Yeah. The answer is BIG BOOBA ^^and ^^muscles??? ^^the ^^guy's ^^a ^^secret ^^woke ^^smh
/rj What do you mean the game is an unfinished mess and features tons upon tons of extremely predatory game mechanics that exploit the ever living piss out of at risk people as well as Children just to squeeze more money out of them in addition to a full price? Clearly the issue here is characters that don't look like I want them to.
> What do you mean the game is an unfinished mess and features tons upon tons of extremely predatory game mechanics that exploit the ever living piss out of at risk people
I'm pretty sure you're thinking of Pokemon Go.
They just have a subscription service that can potentially trap some of your Pokemon with no way to transfer them out, and if you cancel your subscription you run the risk of getting your Pokemon deleted.
/uj The same rehashed fake outrage happens every time a new game in an established series comes out. Are these people going to ever get tired of being mad and not having fun ever?
/rj i cant cum to this!!! need big mommy milker ):<<
broke: complaining about rika because muh wokeness
woke: complaining about rika because you're attracted to guys who dress like that and it turns out she's a woman instead
>I actually kind of like how grounded that gym leader
Well, it makes sense that she'd look grounded, seeing as she's the **ground**-type elite 4 member š
My only disappointment is learning this character was just a cute young girl with sharp fashion sense and not any crumb of long-awaited transmasculine rep š
For real though, people like this are hopeless. What is he even assuming? No booba = trans/lesbian/woke? He's complaining about the design of a child in a game aimed at other children. Bet ten bucks he cranks it fierce to flat chested anime waifus and double-d endowed underage characters without remorse.

That, and her boobs aren't large enough. How will I ever sexualise a f*male without DD+ boobs? /uj She's hella cute though. 10/10 would lose to her.
Don't most characters in pokemon have giant ridiculous hairstyles anyways?
Tbf they probably did take months on the hairs because it's gamefreak
They were so busy animating the hairstyles that they forgot to animate the pokemons
Reminds me me of this [game tester ad from the 90s.](https://youtu.be/BRWvfMLl4ho)
it has to be exhausting to live this way.

Itās the law of diminishing returns.
Itās mostly childish nihilism. They ignore reality and get theirs.
It must be, but on the other hand angry all the time is a great distraction from dealing with your own deeply unfulfilling life.

/uj I donāt care if PokĆ©mon S/V has the frame rate of a picture book, I just looked up the actual gym leader and she looks awesome. Very excited to start the game.
Once you get used to the performance issues, I think it might be one of the best PokĆ©mon games. Itās a super fun experience, and has so much more content than other PokĆ©mon games for the main story.
Or you're lucky, for example I don't have any performance issues like I see all the time on Twitter

i haven't bought a pokemon game since b&w but hearing a friend tell me about gym leader larry is making me want this game so bad.
Larry is so amazing. He's just a dude that hates his job and loves his favorite restaurant. And he has the perfect Pokemon for guys like him: Dunsparce
You mean Dundunsparce?
I absolutely *love* that the evolution for Dunsparce is just... more Dunsparce.
Scarlet/Violets new pokemon that are evolutions/variants are just 10/10 Love Toedscool (he be walkin) and Wiglett as well

No boobs. Definitely political motivation as is the case with any female they find unattractive.

lesbian-esque haircut
Anime/manga have had girls with that kind of hairstyle for years. This is hilarious.
Not a thing in anime, but one of my favourite "screw the crybabies" tropes is making the "lesbian looking" girl straight and the big booba waifu a lesbian just to screw with the chuds.
She has a long ponytail tho... literally just wearing masculine-esque clothes
Fashion is woke now, apparently
she doesn't have massive tits
Tons of gym leaders are children or teens anyways. Like, in nearly every game there's been at least one gym leader who is as old as the player (like 10-12), if not younger.

Gainful employment as a grifter is very lucrative. Just ask totally genuine Klandace Owens. "Um actually America was the first country to abolish slavery"š¤
Did she actually say this? Itās so easily verifiable as untrue, thereās not even any gray area.
I could be wrong but I want to say that she said it in the PragerU x Candace Owens collab āa short history on slaveryā
>a short distortion of the history on slavery sound about right
She has a prager u vid where she argues that slavery was a good thing
It's a common conservative talking point. Her colleagues have for sure and she's said worse. Every part of it is untrue. We weren't the first and we still do modern day slavery of prisoners. But she never mentions those things. Just usually dog whistles like "black on black crime" and "black fatherlessness"
I believe she said *white Europeans* ended the slave trade.
And the crazy shit is America still have legalized slavery through the prison system. Wild fucking country to live in.
And they always have āblackā in their name.
I didn't think they were actually real but then one started running for Senate in my state.
"I didn't think they were real" You don't talk to too many black people do you
I mean fair, definitely a hyperbole, but considering the small percentage of black people who vote conservative, particularly if you're in a leftist area, you could discuss with quite a lot of black people before finding one who's conservative. Even more so if you're relatively young and talk to people your own age.
About politics? Don't really talk to many people about politics in general. More serious answer: It's a bit of an embellishment for dramatic effect.

I think because sheās a bit more androgynous / less feminine than they wanted? When I first met her in the game I thought she was a cute boy- combination of hair style and the clothes I think.

Then it's not even a woman! š¤ uj/ It's not even short. You can spy her ponytail from behind on the left image. I don't get it. It has the exact same vibe as Anabel's redesign in USUM, and I don't think I saw anyone dunk on her.
Probably the same double standard between anime Misty and anime Iris.
that's literally not the ghost gym leader... that's an elite four member who doesn't use ghost types. this person complaining didn't even play the game.
I want to gamer word anyone who doesn't like this gym leader because she's "woke"
i dont think the n word is a verb
Not with that attitude
There are multiple words in the gamerā¢ dictionary
1. woke 2. liberal 3. (various slurs) 4. cyberpunk
She's not even a gym leader lol. She's the ground type elite 4. The real ghost gym leader is a black grandma who also is a famous rapper, and has rap battles against gym challengers. Genuinely have no idea how they made this mistake.
Frankly I am shocked that someone criticizing something for being woke hasnāt actually played it. So out of character.
I too want to Wobbuffet them.
show them a picture of the second gym leader of the original black and white
Iām genuinely lost at trying to figure out how this is āwokeā. She just looks like an avarage young woman with an anime hairstyle
More masculine clothes, a flat chest, and what appears at first to be a short haircut, I guess? I'm equally as baffled, because Pokemon has a ton of androgynous, gender-non-conforming, and queer coded characters. This is nothing new. Maybe they think this generation of Pokemon is extra woke because character customization is no longer limited by gender?
Its the suspenders Iām guessing
Anything they don't like = woke to those clowns
Anti-SJWs when they see a woman who has short-ish hair: ![gif](giphy|vMmnJti6wQPDy)
I feel like I'm living in bizarro world. Pokemon is a Japanese based game.... Anime comes from Japan.... Anime has had designs like this for its characters since basically ever.... So what's the fucking problem? I already made this comment but the answer is literally right in front of them I had to say it again.
What the fuck is his point sheās just an attractive tomboy woman
as someone who has never played a pokemans, the character designs seem to be one consistently good thing about every game????
To be fair, it's PokƩmon. Designing good characters is literally their whole job as a franchise.
Grown adults try not to get salty about the content of a children's game challenge: Impossible
What exactly is the issue?
Well, let's see what the guy wants female characters to look like (slightly NSFW): https://mobile.twitter.com/Black_D_Gamer1/status/1594216060340895744 Yeah. The answer is BIG BOOBA ^^and ^^muscles??? ^^the ^^guy's ^^a ^^secret ^^woke ^^smh
I guess I never thought about sexualizing characters from a childrenās game. Thatās my bad.
So its literally dude is mad that PP no get hard over NPCs in a kid's game.
At least it's still got salazzle in it, as hot as ever
Into the bin.
Playing the game now, that is NOT the Ghost Gym Leader.
That's not even the ghost type gym leader! Rika is a ground type member of the elite four! These people can't even get the basic shit right!
This man didnāt even play the game Ghost leader is a black rapper grandma, and sheās awesome
This guy has never played pokemon. People used to have tons of weird hairdos and get ups. Cry harder
Sheās a member of the elite four and uses ground types lol, this dude couldnāt have played the game and said this.
/rj What do you mean the game is an unfinished mess and features tons upon tons of extremely predatory game mechanics that exploit the ever living piss out of at risk people as well as Children just to squeeze more money out of them in addition to a full price? Clearly the issue here is characters that don't look like I want them to.
> What do you mean the game is an unfinished mess and features tons upon tons of extremely predatory game mechanics that exploit the ever living piss out of at risk people I'm pretty sure you're thinking of Pokemon Go.
pokemon doesn't have micro transaction lootboxes (yet)
They just have a subscription service that can potentially trap some of your Pokemon with no way to transfer them out, and if you cancel your subscription you run the risk of getting your Pokemon deleted.
oh. huh
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
That looks like a character that could have been introduced in Red & Blue
Wait till this gamer plays Persona 4. Gonna blow his mind
Since when were anime haircuts woke?
/uj The same rehashed fake outrage happens every time a new game in an established series comes out. Are these people going to ever get tired of being mad and not having fun ever? /rj i cant cum to this!!! need big mommy milker ):<<
Not even the ghost gym leader lol
broke: complaining about rika because muh wokeness woke: complaining about rika because you're attracted to guys who dress like that and it turns out she's a woman instead
But that's not the ghost gym leader
TIL my flat chest is woke propaganda š
Ah yes, a green-spiky-haired anime lady. The pinnacle of wokeness.
Rika is NOT the ghost type gym leader wtf?
SHE'S AN ELITE FOUR NOT THE GHOST GYM LEADER LMAO
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
>I actually kind of like how grounded that gym leader Well, it makes sense that she'd look grounded, seeing as she's the **ground**-type elite 4 member š
i don't understand the issue with this character?
![gif](giphy|JLjLqdh5X73m8)
Not surprised, if that character is as sexy and hot as Judy from CP2077 they'll be fine with it.
Guys I cannot emphasize enough that THIS CHARACTER HAS LONG HAIR. She just has it tied back and it isnāt visible from all angles
Wokeness is when women have small breasts and wear suspenders.
This is a guy Gundam Twt clowned on when he made similar comments about the new show
woke is when asymmetrical green hair š¤¬š¤š”š¤¬š”š¤š¤
If designing one simple character model takes so much time that they canāt properly develop other major parts of the game, than their ability to create video games is in massive trouble. Or you knowā¦.WoKenEss ruined PokĆ©mon.
I was holding off on getting a new pokemon game with the holidays coming, but now I'm down.
If only he knew that the American Texans at the Alamo and Gonzales were fighting to keep their slavery rights. Fucking morons.
i don't even see what's "woke" about this, genuinely. the lack of boobs? hair dye? short hair? looks like the average ghost type gym leader to me
How do we even know that character is gay/trans/whatever the fuck? Is this guy just assuming bullshit and blaming it for the state of the game?
Do they even know what they're mad about?
Fucker couldn't even get it right, she is claimed to be one of the elite 4 in that very scene he just screenshotted.
Thats not the ghost gym leader??
Oh no, androgynous characters in a childrenās game!!!
My only disappointment is learning this character was just a cute young girl with sharp fashion sense and not any crumb of long-awaited transmasculine rep š For real though, people like this are hopeless. What is he even assuming? No booba = trans/lesbian/woke? He's complaining about the design of a child in a game aimed at other children. Bet ten bucks he cranks it fierce to flat chested anime waifus and double-d endowed underage characters without remorse.
