At the very least, being able to put them at 2x speed would be nice. Tera forms take way too damn long.
I imagine that's intentional. Sword and Shield were the first time they did actual DLC, and to my knowledge the dlc actually sold really well (for DLC that is). I won't even say "screenshot this", because is pretty obvious looking at the current state of the game that they probably have DLC planned out and will shove it down our throats 6-8 months from now.
Technically the human versions were evil and then they died and the robots are trying to break free from their AI programming to stop the Past/Future Pokemon from coming through the one-way time machine and destroying the region
As little as I care about story, I actually enjoyed the whole Arven story arc. The twist worked pretty good as well, didn't just become a complete repeat of Gen 7. The other 2 paths just feel like padding tbh. Plus Nemona is 1 note as hell and Penny is a giant cunt. At least one of the main cast turns out to be a good character all around.
Arven is a good boy with a story arc that's easy to sympathize with. The conversations you have while you walk through Area Zero for the first time give a lot of character development imo. You learn Nemona is a rich girl with detached parents which I think makes her trying to be the Mary-sue of battling kind of justified even if it is shoehorned in from a writing perspective. It also makes Penny look like even more of a dumb cunt when she bitches about her dad being affectionate and the other characters even acknowledge that saying that they feel bad for her dad.
Most people, including me, pronounce it as "Ex-scissor".
I've been saying this even before SwSh was announced, but the defensiveness of Gen 1 fanboys is a sight to behold when you suggest such a thing. It's funny, too, when you step back and see that the neighboring region has all this culture and history that you can uncover that just makes Kanto look like a suburban wasteland in comparison. There just comes a point where the fanbase has to admit that Gen 1 was barebones as hell, and no amount of Charizard forms in later generations is going to put an end to that. If there ever is, god forbid, another Kanto remake, they need to do more with it than just port the geometry nearly 1:1 from the original. At least FRLG had the Sevii Islands, Let's Go didn't even give us that luxury.
Pokemon also used to release a bunch of actually decent spinoffs between mainline releases, seeing as how they put less effort each year whats their excuse?
I was under the impression that despite being fantastic games the spin-offs never sold all that well. The Pokemon Ranger games were all fun as fuck and at least the first few installments of Pokemon Dungeon had genuinely good writing with engaging stories. At least that's how I remember them.
I was still experimenting with my team and ultimately decided to go with Toedscruel instead, but I couldn't agree with you more that shitmon still needs lots of love
I was just about write a post complaining about the Elite 4 being awful (terrible music being one part of it) and when I went to YouTube to re-listen to the theme I thought "wait, this is actually pretty good, am I going insane?". When I was fighting them I only got the first 13 seconds of the theme on endless repeat.
I agree this is absolutely the worst Elite Four especially Larry what a lame fuckin cop out
I think the worst part (if the music worked) was that all the fights occurred in the same bland sterile room. The theming of each member's chamber in X/Y was good enough to get a Smash Brothers stage while in this it reminded me of where I took karate lessons when I was six.
