So excited! As always, it is heartbreaking when you have your heart set on a pokemon and it ends up having a terrible evolution. Well, I cannot say that for Rockruff! :)
The day form is so cute! It is wolfish, yet puppy-like.
Also, I can't believe there has been debate over whether UB-02 is related to Lusamine. It just clearly IS. The same pose with her long arm resting on her hip like a fashion model. The same signature long lashes with more mascara than any other character in the mainseries. Her long legs and slim figure. The same hair shape. Of course it cannot look and should not look exactly like Lusamine but it is clearly based on Lusamine.
More Ultra Beasts huh? And there's version exclusives of them? Looks like the nighttime version of Rockruff's evolution does look like a werewolf. Expect that version to appear in Pokken Tournament.
Try telling this to the Paper Mario fanbase who are bashing Color Splash for not being like the first two games.
But I think it's a matter of it being similar to a new formula established by sticker star. To me Sticker Star is not an innovation, it almost feels like if we changed the main series pokemon games to have battles like pokemon Go. I would actually be devastated, it would not be the same rpg.
Sun and Moon keep the core gameplay that makes pokemon, well...pokemon. While, at the same time, there are innovative mechanics and features to keep the series fresh.
Whereas Colorsplash seems to take out everything that made the originals good, and added features for the sake of adding new features. Like what is up with making it into a card game? Or the fact that we do not get interesting new partners based on mario species. It's like if pokemon stopped including Pokemon!!!! We all LOVED the originals because of the partners, leveling up, and the interesting open map world. There was TONS of room for new innovation, within those parameters I defined, but instead they failed to balance innovation and keeping the core gameplay intact -- so it is basically not the same series as the other paper marios. :/
I cannot see a fair comparison between pokemon and paper mario. Clearly, GF has established a core gameplay that connects all of the games together despite different innovations. Sun and Moon clearly stand out for being successful at introducing new features and character all while sticking to the spirit of a Pokemon game -- unlike Color Splash.
