Support NeoGAF

[Fou-Lu]

Thank. God.

People don't care that this was scheduled or that Pokemon still sells. A boring demo is a boring demo no matter which way you cut it. You tell people to tune in at X time, especially when they make it clear pretty much the entirety of E3 will be for Zelda, showing one trailer and then going "ok Pokemon guys! Here's a boring demo!" for upwards of half an hour is terrible pacing even if this is how they do Treehouses.

We learned a lot of little things from that demo and it gave us some interesting questions to discuss, so I for one was happy with it.

 

[Anth0ny]

thank christ that's over

here comes lady link

 

[Azuran]

If there was ever an argument for Nintendo is for little kids, it's this thread.

This is NeoGAF the site where people refuse to go to the doctor when they're bleeding to death while they're afraid of being in the presence of someone of the opposite gender.

Did you expect anything else?

 

[Qurupeke]

Why do you feel this way?

Because people could just skip Pokemon and wait for Zelda instead of acting like children here.

 

[TimeEffect]

Is the conference over after Zelda?

 

[devonodev]

I am a big Pokemon fan, and that was still so boring, with terrible timing after Zelda. A 5 minute trailer would have shown off everything there better. Leave the live translated conversations for later.

 

[mjc]

I don't think people are upset about Pokemon, they're upset that they squandered 45 minutes showing gameplay that almost everyone on the planet is familiar with.

 

[Mr E.]

So it's over then?

 

[jackal27]

This is PAINFUL.

And I love absolutely love Pokemon.

 

[Cipher Peon]

I'm a HUGE Pokemon fan and thought that demo was terrible.

It's all about the presentation, not the content dammit

 

[The 18th Letter]

Nintendo has the worst fanbase ever.

Weird considering how that loyal fanbase is the only reason Nintendo is in a position to be more than the next Sega.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Why aren't they showing Zelda? =/

 

[Milly Osworth]

Nice silence. Very amateuristic stream so far.

 

[SweetDonuts]

Guess that was it. See you guys next year!

 

[Kathian]

Is the conference over after Zelda?

It's not a conference.

 

[Diprosalic]

Is the conference over after Zelda?

this is not a conference.

 

[Neoleo2143]

Frankly, I do think that opening with pokemon after the hype Zelda trailer was a poor showing. However, I'm really liking the direction of Sun and Moon. The battle royale mode is rather well thought out upon examination.

 

[clay_ghost]

Got to sleep now, will have to check back in 6 hours time. Did not expect pokemon to take so long but its really great looking and its what i expected Xand Y to be lol.

 

[Labrynian Rebel]

there are pokemon fans watching it you know guys?
you waited a long time for Zelda, a few more minutes won't kill you...

More like a few months, am I right?

 

[Mr Waluigi]

The E3 thread says the main show was to be an hour long and the rest is just livestreamed gameplay

So this was the show? That's it?

 

[sora87]

They definitely could have put in some trailers here or something, just staring at a red screen

 

[rhandino]

Pokemon changes are amazing and canmot wait to try that new mode.

The atmosphere is also glorious.

Now kust waiting for Aonuma to fill my dark soul with light.

 

[Formless]

They literally said they are setting up Zelda.

 

[Tom Nook]

Time for Zelda.

 

[Sparkedglory]

You get your Pokemon every year if not more often, stop complaining.

By that logic, you get an entire day of Zelda, stop complaining. Lol, I just wish people could enjoy both.

 

[lewisgone]

I haven't liked the games very much since Black and White 2 but I'm still interested in Pokemon a decent amount. Nevertheless, that was really boring.

 

[Waylon Drums]

This is NeoGAF the site where people refuse to go to the doctor when they're bleeding to death while they're afraid of being in the presence of someone of the opposite gender.

Did you expect anything else?

What are you talking about?

 

[Fou-Lu]

Because people could just skip Pokemon and wait for Zelda instead of acting like children here.

Pretty much.

 

[Killroyskbg]

The person who had the idea let's tell people we are going to show off Zelda gameplay but let them watch Pokémon for 30 min before should get fired. Seriously never had so much hype be destroyed ever.

 

[Nickle]

We aren't complaining about Pokemon, we are complaining about them showing the first 45 minutes of a Pokemon game, which has been the same for 18 years.

 

[Weebos]

This thread has been great for my ignore list.

 

[Gipsy Danger]

Oh, fuck. Zelda is coming on. This sucks.

/s

 

[War Eagle]

Interesting that there's a 'break'. Almost like there should be commercials or something.

 

[Puruzi]

glad they showed that much of pokemon, it's better than zelda

 

[Randomizer]

Bill and Aonuma coming up!! Need the deets on the gameplay looks spectacular.

 

[Gaspard]

Why aren't they showing Zelda? =/

They will after this short break.

 

[Shiggy]

Is the Pokémon borefest over? Can I tune in again?

 

[TheSlySoul]

They definitely could have put in some trailers here or something, just staring at a red screen

"Yeah we are gonna just talk about indies for 20 minutes on YT and not bother to promote them any other way"
So far I think this might be worse than 2015 for them.

We aren't complaining about Pokemon, we are complaining about them showing the first 45 minutes of a Pokemon game, which has been the same for 18 years.

Indeed, I wish Pokémon would evolve some. The 4 player battle is the right step but everything is just more of the same.

 

[Cormano]

If its not a conference, then what is it?

 

[The Strokes]

.

Make a better presentation, not this 101 Pokebullshit.

What a disaster this has been. They should've sticked to their guns and go full Zelda on us.

 

[Ultravi0lence]

I can understand why they did it, but showing imo the worst parts of all Pokemon games stretched out over 20 minutes, being played by a guy who seemed to not know what he was doing, was just bad.

At one point the translator even told him to go heal lol

 

[Bitanator]

This is PAINFUL.

And I love absolutely love Pokemon.

agree, Pokemon does not show well, you have to play the damn thing yourself

 

[Gurish]

Shit did it start? finished? (talking about Zelda)

 

[Busaiku]

Move effectiveness will save me against Malamar.
I always forget its typing.

 

[friskykillface]

welp stream over

cya next year

 

[RPGCrazied]

glad they showed that much of pokemon, it's better than zelda

Nope, for you maybe.

 

[SuperSah]

This break would have been perfect to showcase some trailers.

 

[Kyuur]

I am a big Pokemon fan, and that was still so boring, with terrible timing after Zelda. A 5 minute trailer would have shown off everything there better. Leave the live translated conversations for later.

This is not a conference or direct.

I repeat.

This is not a conference or direct.

This is the 'later'.

 

[Raw64life]

This is one time I wish the schedule of games would be leaked. I just want to see Dragon Quest VII.

 

[Bakkus]

Maybe you should look into the difference between a conference and a gameplay stream with people talking about the game.

Considering Nintendo is not having a direct, this is the closest thing people will get. Which is why it's treated similarly.
