What gets me so mad about ZA is that they could've been creative with it. This is a POKEMON CITY. We've had entire towns and cities dedicated to one element before, Driftveil City is a mining town that also knows how to decorate itself and spend lavish amounts of money. Lavender Town, ghost central with its giant omnipresent graveyard of hundreds of dead restless Pokemon. You know what would've been fun for a city-exclusive game? Exaggerating it, making it so the power plant or Prism Tower is filled with electronic and mechanical Pokemon. The catacombs and sewers breaking into one another, poison, bug, and ghost Pokemon mingling. This is a Pokemon-themed town, it should be able to have a bit of fun with itself. And I think that's the issue. Legends ZA isn't meant to have fun in, it's meant to keep this bloated brand relevant and marketable.
I'm disappointed with how they wasted the city setting. Most major cities irl are super diverse and have plenty of potentially interesting environments. Parks, rivers, lakes, abandoned buildings, sewers, construction sites, forests, are some of the biomes I could think of. And a smaller world map could still work IF there's plenty of content in every building and city block...which legends ZA simply doesn't have. I saw a clip of someone going from one entrance in a wild area to another in like 7-8 SECONDS.
 
I’m beginning the post-story stuff and I’m done with the Pokedex barring the trade evos, I already completed the Xerneas mission and I’m about to start the Yveltal mission.

From what I’m hearing the final Zygarde mission and battle is real pain in the ass, I’m gonna have to level up something that can cheese it like a Clefable or something.
I already did the trade evos early they're surprisingly easy to get besides Scizor and Steelix's Metal Coat.
I’m not too bothered by Steelix since it’s available in the wild via a post-story mission and Metal Coat is purchasable inside Racine Construction. The one items that are bothering me are the Sachet and Whipped Dream, apparently they’re only available via one-time missions or Z-A Infinite Royale rewards.

Sachet and Whipped Dream's one time mission gives you 2 of each item and are available very early on. That's like one for the Pokedex and an extra for either a shiny or if I ever for some reason have to raise a battle ready one. I don't see myself needing more than that.
 
Why do so many people have no standards for the media they consume? I have a friend that sincerely believes this game is pretty, I can't comprehend that, sure it looks better than SV, but it still looks like ass.

The city honestly looks pretty nice with 60 fps on the Switch 2 imo. I just wish we actually had different environments like PLA and SV.

These fuckers made a game that takes place in a city where you can't go into most of the buildings ffs!

Caught wind of this disaster and expected to see posts just shitting on the game, but a lot of you actually fucking bought it.
Why?
Pokemon fans are just like people that buy sportball games. There's just no helping them.
Don't even look into Pokemon TCG. You would think it died decades ago but no. It got bigger and adults drive around shops and fight over booster packs.
 
This is one of the worst designs I’ve ever seen

It’s like “we need to make this game diverse-er” so they took a white character and made her a god damn shadow.
Here’s the thing, Nessa, Rhyme, Leon, grant and Iris look good there’s more to their designs than just skin color, this just feels like a race quota

Even without the black chocolate skintone, there's still overly bright pastel colours (there to makes her skin look darker) of the clothes and hair that are a complete eyesore both by themselves and with the nigger wearing them.
I had the feeling that she'd look a lot better if you were to just invert the colours and alter the hue and saturation to replace the pastel tones with something more vivid, so I took a screenshot spent precisely a minute on a shitty drawing app to see how better she'd look if I were to do such a tweak.

I want to say that just tweaking the colour scheme and increasing the saturation is not a good idea, her skin is way too dark for that and the colours too bright.
Inverting the colours alone makes a big improvement on her hair, clothes and especially on the hair pin that now looks like a blue primrose.
I really couldn't bother to nail the skin colour so picked a something that was good enough and had the hair/clothes look nice as well, I think i's an improvement; fix the skin, eyes and mouth and you'd get an actually good looking character.
Edit: decided not to be a lazy fuck like game freak is and tweaked further the colours to have the final result looks acceptable for my already low standards.
2nd edit: also adjusted eye and mouth the best of my abilities because I have several unsolved issues. I don't think it's masterwork, but it still gives you an idea of how she could have looked if goytendo wasn't run by people that thinks NTR hentai and blacked porn portray a good and positive example of romance.

Mark my words the Unova fags in this thread will do this.
Looks dumb. Its coloured wrong
It's based on a "concept", the concept being that game fucks stole the "turn it gold to imply it got stronger" idea from dragon ball, sonic and dragon ball super
fanartists are cucks
"idk guys, i think watching tyrone fuck her while i sit on the chair is good for our relationship"
 
These new megas suck too like most they didn’t even try the just went, exaggerate only one feature or just give it more (x). I was highly disappointed with the mega chandelure

That’s it? Just another tier? And totally missable heterocromia.
It's simple and lazy, but I honestly kinda like it. At the very least it's not actively awful like Feraligatr or Pyroar.
 
is this really going to be your only schtick in this thread, as if this particular generation molested your mother and killed your father somehow?

It's getting lame dude.
Unova revived my love after Diamond killed it. I didn't even want to play Platinum, because G4 just sucked.

But, then I saw how crazy the opening cinematic for G5 was...
