I'm aware and agree- I'm only considering it because it's in junction with the truly insane amount of Unova pandering in Indigo Disk (and arguably Galar if you want to count dex selection). Going so far as to revive Gen 5-specific gimmicks alongside copy-pasting gen 5 areas and music into the new DLC is not only laughably lazy but also such blatant signaling that I'm genuinely starting to think it's some sort of bait and switch.
i also love how his schizo meltdown is caused by the fact that the player has literally 0 option to prevent it. that's what i love in my interactive video games, i want them to be completely unchangeable and linear like all other forms of media
less unbearable than if penny did it. arven has been chronically bitchless his whole life so i think it's somewhat understandable but they did it in a way that feels so out of character
Kieran did nothing wrong and I'm tired of pretending he did. Carmine, Drayton and Ohmori all get the rope, and Kieran gets the Ogerpon.
I wouldn't say "ruined", but he retains that "I'M the player character's BEST buddy" attitude he had at the start of the Area Zero scenario. It's
Absolutely. His old look was perfect, his new look looks like the designers need to be bullied harder than Kieran was.
I get that they were aiming for the tryhard look but now that he's redeemed himself, it doesn't mesh with his current personality.
I love how the end of Teal Mask was so dramatic with him changing his hair...then we see this fucking ugly haircut with dyed hair in Indigo Disk and there's no reason for him to have done it. I honestly almost thought there was something impactful with what he was doing when I first saw it. But nope, just this bizarre new hairdo that makes him look like a dumbass.
Fan reactions to Kieran are so oddly hostile and weirdly cruel. I can see why some wouldn't like him, but I've seen a lot of people just despise this kid and have a weird sense of smugness over "cucking" him out of Ogerpon, it's really strange.
Yeah. Like, I'm not baffled that there are people who'd think this way, they're just boilerplate meanspirited waifufaggots, I'm baffled that there are so many of them in the god damn Pokemon fandom of all places. Maybe I shouldn't be. I absolutely hate that Pokemon decided to produce a plot that would bring them all out of the woodwork. What happened to friendship and shit, why is there a weird cuckold-bullying storyline in my baby games?
Arven deserved a better game.
What I hate is that it's forced. He would have been better off if the player could tell his idiot sister to fuck off.
I mean it's not THAT common, but I will say NTR does rank high in popular hentai genres I can't really say I disagree with your theory.
to be completely fair his hair isn't dyed, it's just purple on the bottom layer, same as carmine
