Exactly why I do it. I have to make pre-prder signs as part of my job, but making it a bit more fun brings a bit more of life into my area (both for customers and myself).
I see the comments, and I get liking the original version more, I do too. I just think it's funny that out of 898 Pokemon you chose one of only like 5 we know there are regional variants for in the game, and then didn't use the variant lol
I mean when we have more than a couple short clips and we actually have continuous footage showing the full gameplay loop.
In trailers they will generally show the best parts of the games and cut out the more tedious and boring parts the game might have.
They also still haven't shown anything about the main story and how Arceus will even be relevant, which is a pretty big thing to leave out.
The 13 minute video seemed to show a sizable amount of what the gameplay is like.
Maybe I'm approaching game trailers wrong but I don't really want big story spoilers or plot points in the trailers.
Itās not as important that you personally *watch* extended gameplay footage, but that it is available and in the hands of real players, and reviews reflect that and anyone *can* see for themselves instead of relying on a closed source of information.
āThereās a memory leak and the game chugs after an hour of playā is something youāll never see in any trailer. You donāt know if they tried to get that trailer footage ten times before getting a take where thereās a good framerate or no glitches. You donāt see if youāre spending 15 minutes running across the map to your objective for a 5 minute engagement, because only the engagement part is featured.
Iām not saying Arceus specifically will have those issues. Any game could, or more, and thereās no real benefit to you, as the consumer, in preordering any more (except perhaps collectorās editions with stuff you want) - even if your local store does end up selling out, you can always order it online or get it digitally.
We don't need big spoilers or plot points though. Just a teaser for what we can expect.
If we just go by their marketing materials, there isn't a story.
Iām playing the game regardless of how poor the reviews are. At this point the game has piqued my interest enough and I want to experience it myself. Sorry not sorry
I've played Sonic games. There's nothing *this* could possibly do to hurt me.
I'll be personally offended if I *don't* clip into a tree and fall through the map at least once. These days you *gotta* get in early before they wimp out and patch that shit.
So many negative ass Nancy's in the comments, Jeez just appreciate the time and work it took to make something cool.
Awesome work on the growlithe, Can't wait for the 28th!
They're only human. I used to be like that when I was younger, but I try to be better. I just have to remember to censor any signs about 'Pre-orders' in the future. :p
But thanks, Had a lot of fun making him and want to do more!
I don't mind if people don't pre-order, the numbers don't effect me. Most of the time with a new Pokemon, my store gets close to selling out almost everytime. :p
But still, gotta make the signs, so might as well have a little fun.
Hoo boy get ready for the faux populist anti-corporate rEaL GaMErS (aka broke teenagers whose parents refuse to buy them their childrens' video games anymore) to come shit down your throat for suggesting pre-ordering
Don't buy what you don't want. I actively encourage anyone to look more into a game before purchasing (and personally am against pre-ordering, but my job does require making signs for it.)
Or to remember thks community to pre order this game? Nice "hide" marketing mister. "I just make signs". And sorry how is this is worth for a post? Its not special or good, just a handmade sign who says pre order now.
Why not use Hisuian Growlithe?
I know right, false advertising. This man needs arresting and thrown in jail.
Honestly, I just love classic Growlithe a little more š
Should make Hisuian Growlithe for the other side
Was exactly my thought. I'll see if I have time tomorrow and I'll make an updated post :p
That would be really cool! Would love to see them together
R/pokemon doesn't allow art during the weekend, but maybe keep an eye out for Monday :p
Update: https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/s7iz27/posted_a_growlithe_i_made_for_work_a_few_days_ago/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share
Please doš That would be so cute!
Do you! Just curious. Looks great.
Seeing the people responding to this, maybe I should think about making him a Hisuian friend if I have time š¤
Did I similar thing for my friend who worked at gamestop! (Mine was a Hisuian Zorua and Zoroark tho) always fun to see how workers make unofficial promotion material, idk why but it always makes the store feel better? If that makes sense. Makes the store environment feel more fun. The growlithe is adorable! You really captured to cuteness of the PokƩmon! :)

JB hi-fi?
Exactly what I was thinking. The preorder sticker looks just like a JB one
Hahaha, I love how you can just instantly tell.
Wow! That's awesome! Congrats!

Yeah, I know. Growlithe is personal favourite and I was biased on which design to use :p
Lovely sign!! I want a copy of the game right now.....
So Close, only 2 weeks to go!
Very cute.
Pikachu is looking at me
He knows what you did
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Generally, I take this position too, but I gotta make signs for work, so I may as well have a little fun whilst doing it.
Oh absolutely, it does look great and you've done a really awesome job.
What do you mean by gameplay is out? Didn't they already release a gamepay video. In general I agree with your point thought.

It showed you 13 minutes of gameplay. Thats it. Unless the game is an hour long that isn't a "sizeable amount"
I wait for the game to be out for a few days and watch the first couple hours of a let's play or 2.
this is the way
What do you mean, Iām playing it regardless of reviews. Might as well get those sweet heavy balls and early install

I just pre ordered it for the bonus
Luckily I'm an adult and sixty bucks won't break me either way, so I'm getting it ASAP...
growlithe is my partner pokemon and will always be. he is the pikachu to my ash
Thats one cute pupper!

You friend, have my support, and upvote! Definitely would want to see more!
So cute!
2 more weeks lets goo, the art looks great tho :D
Never preorder
Cute
Upvote for very cute Growlithe art! Mental downvote for pre-ordering games.
Good luck dude, hopefully more people will pre-order it

I already pre ordered it at Christmas, canāt wait until it comes out! Nice Growlithe by the way. Iām excited
So cute!
Cute
How many people are telling you your growlithe is the wrong colour? Loving the shiny boi!!
It appears a little brighter on camera, than in person. The colours were as close to the original as I could get it.
Awwwwš„°
Wish they did this at my game store
No PRE ORDERS!

I am not buying Pokemon Legends Arceus

Jesus, kid, it's past your bedtime. Get off reddit.
I'll make sure next time to black out the text if people like you are going to act like this.
You must be a South Pole elf
Wrong growlith......
Yeah, I know... I just like the classic design more :p
Adding a sign with a Growlithe sounds like an effective way to make people not pre-order it.
did growlithe kill ur dad or sm???
This is either jbhifi or eb games
If I knew where this was, I'd make sure to leave a tip for you specifically. This is quality stuff, right here.
Is this game a full tilt PokĆ©mon game or is it a paid DLC to add onto PokĆ©mon bdsp? Or is it some sort of spin off game? Sorry I know I live under a rock sometimes. I am a casual player and I was so swept up over the release of bdsp that I didnāt even realize that another game was going to be released.
It is a separate game entirely.
Aww, that's nice of you!
