Dark Miracles Posted March 1 Posted March 1 (edited) Wasn't here for the announcement so I just want to reiterate to all you Kalos hating patrats that GEN 6 WON Edited March 1 by Dark Miracles 4
Kern Posted March 1 Posted March 1 it's been a while (like 4 years) since I watched the anime and I'm lost, is there a new series starting this month? And is there something I missed worth catching up?
Dark Miracles Posted March 1 Posted March 1 When this already absolute ******* banger gets a Legends Arceus level glow-up like the Eterna Forest theme for Heartwood but this time it goes full French house bop 6
Cruel Summer Posted March 2 Posted March 2 I never really got around to processing my thoughts after the Direct. Honestly, a few days after the announcement, I have to admit that the most exciting thing to me about Legends Z-A is basically just that it means that Legends games in regions like Johto and Hoenn are actually possible in the future. That and the near-certainty of new Mega Evolutions - I’m really hoping some of the Pokémon that missed out the first time around get them. Something about the concept just isn’t sparking anything major in me yet otherwise. I wonder if part of why they chose to do this instead of the expected Unova return - besides the fact that they clearly seem to only want to do one set of “true” remakes per system (Let’s Go notwithstanding) - is that they feel Kalos was left unfinished. It’s literally the only region where story and lore threads clearly reserved for an enhanced version never really got finished, and Zygarde got weirdly punted to Alola. It’s always felt like they planned the usual third game, and then took an unexpected (even by their own staff) left turn when deciding to do Sun and Moon for the anniversary instead, and while I’m no particular Gen 6 fan, I think it’s really nice for people who loved Kalos that some part of that intended experience might be redeemed finally. Also, Kalos isn’t particularly special to me as a region, but the idea of framing this game as being set exclusively within one huge city is admittedly kind of interesting for Pokémon. I really wonder how that’s going to impact the scope of the story, since the guess from many people for a Kalos-centric Legends was that they’d cover the ancient war situation and that’s clearly no longer the case. My personal wish list: - Keep the original Legends battle system more or less intact, with flavor tweaks to Agile and Strong styles if necessary - Keep the Legends capture system intact, but maybe with more Pokéball options - Give us more trainer battles and against trainers with more Pokémon on their team - Give us a postgame Battle Facility for a bit of a more fleshed out experience - even one as simple as a single Battle Tower - Eternal Flower Floette obtainable in-game - Every existing Pokémon with a Mega Evolution obtainable without needing to transfer - Some clear Hoenn connections to set up an eventual Legends game there, even if it’s not the next one (I’d prefer Johto next) - Mega Flygon, Milotic, and maybe Dragonite That’s about it, really. I don’t have much to specifically ask for. The Legends formula is strong enough that I trust it’s going to be a good game. I have some reservations after technical elements of SV sucked super hard, but I hope this game is good and I hope it’s successful. If it is, I think the Legends sub-series is going to start to really replace the more traditional part of the main series for me since those haven’t fully clicked for me since USUM (which were great), and that’s okay I guess. 5 2
SlowGinFizzzz Posted March 3 Posted March 3 Beautiful. Who needs strategy when you can just take down your enemy with Sheer Cold? That's how I play Pokémon. 1

The barely any Protect in open team sheet meta?

And is there something I missed worth catching up? As of March 2023, Ash’s journey concluded after becoming the World Champion/Monarch. A month later, a new series (Pokémon Horizon) started where two new protagonists (Liko and Roy) were introduced. That series will be premiering this month in North America. I’d recommend watching the Ash vs Cynthia episodes and the Ash vs Leon episodes. Other than that, not really. I mean, I would recommend any episode revolving around Ash in the previous series, but there’s so many episodes that didn’t revolve around him so it would take some time to filter them out. 1

It is interesting that the entire discourse surrounding it was basically "yes it's better than Pokemon because it's not Pokemon" and not like... actually talking about the gameplay, monsters, world building, etc

JonginBey Posted March 9 Posted March 9 Might actually cave in and get the SV DLC Cant believe we’re getting nothing Pokémon related this year. still holding on to a surprise announcement for the unova remakes
Magickarp Posted March 10 Posted March 10 Ray Rizzo's battle commentaries bore me to death, but his this was a sleigh. We love that content pivot. He should stay there. Also that Articuno team ATE. The guy in 2nd place was one of the rarest occurences ever. He didn't lose a single best of 3 match the whole torunament, UNTIL this team in the finals. And the sleigh is that this team won the finals without any RNG coming into play. 1
