Glen-i Posted October 6, 2022 Author Share Posted October 6, 2022 It's still a Palindrome, and it's a Pokémon that desperately needs an evolution. I massively approve! I don't approve of crafting TM's though. I hate crafting mechanics in open world games. It sucked in Legends, it's gonna suck here. At least it's not every item...

Not a bad lil presentation, they need to work on the script and timing for this...

Having that Pokémon as the thumbnail for the video also didn't help in the surprise. One thing that bugged me the most is that the top half of those picknick sandwiches look extremely realistic and not fitting in with the rest of the art style at all haha.

MindFreak Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 To be fair, it could be a day one update. Also, I noticed that the Wild Pokémon we saw in the trailer were just standing still when the player approached them. That's a massive downgrade from Arceus if that's the case.

Massive upgrade, in my opinion. Catching Pokémon was such a non-event in Legends. It also made battles utterly pointless, why whittle a Pokémon's health down when I can just chuck balls at it from behind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sure, I was just referring to the Pokémon standing still when you approach them. Not about catching or battling them. They just seemed like dolls.

In my mind, if you can't match something like Pokémon Snap in terms of overworld Pokémon, then you might as well just have random battles.

If you watch the Japanese trailer, the frame rate is more standard. There's something very odd with the Western trailer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MindFreak Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 (edited) Yeah. Terrible and off-putting. As if real life influences aren't terrible enough... With each trailer they put out, it seems like they are trying to push me away from the games. Edited October 12, 2022 by MindFreak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glen-i Posted October 12, 2022 Author Share Posted October 12, 2022 2 minutes ago, Ashley said: Counter argument: Irrelevant these days, because of two reasons. It's more likely then not that Oak won't show up, and it's not even the same voice actor anymore. Not to mention that short little voice clips in a 5 hour game is a lot easier to get right then full dialogue in a 30 hour RPG. Costs way less too. And you can be damn sure TPC will take the cheap option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was certain that it was only another of those TPC commissioned songs they've been giving pop stars recently, but I just Googled it, and you're right, it's gonna be in the game... As if I needed more red flags to worry me, the last one I needed was for this to have an English pop song. You know what else debuted an English pop song into a series, Final Fantasy XIII. And that game is the second worse entry! I played Lightning Returns, I gave up after 20 hours. It's horrific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
