Stop it guys, you're making me want to play the game.

223314. I was playing the game, but the game took too much brainpower for my tired brain earlier this afternoon, so I sorta napped and sorta watched some 'toons instead. Then the responsible part of my brain woke up and said I needed to do some cleaning.

I woke up with the Aqua/Magma leader battle theme stuck on my brain D:

Only 6 more days now, or 5 if my pre order arrives early. 8)

A former prime-minister of ours was arrested yesterday. Too bad it won't result in anything more than that.

I kinda screamed when I saw it this morning.

My mom wisely added "oh, so we aren't the worst".

Zinnia's theme sounds like what Original Composition pieces sound like to normal themes...

Really out of place, but they fit the character

Can't say I'm a fan of Wally's battle theme though...too 'western' in terms of design

 

[Ivysaur]

Maybe that's why Zinnia's theme is so cool: because it's so out of place.

If she's exclusively post-game, battleable only once, and vanishes once its done I am going to be very sad

 

[machomuu]

223322

Eh, don't be sad; she'll be back in Gen 7.

I REALLY hope they're working on Pokemon Z that greatly expands the Kalos experience

Expand Team Flare's ambitions, show them capturing the Legendary Pokemon, destroying the countryside which awakens Zygarde, etc, etc...

And gives male characters a much larger wardrobe

and gives us complete costumes of Red, Blue, Green, Gold, Silver, Krys, Brandon, May, Lucas, Pearl, Dawn, Touko, Touya, Kyouhei, and Mei

Plus, imagine all the Pokemon/Dragonball Z fanart that invents because the fandom is weird

 

[machomuu]

223324

While I doubt they'll add costumes of the other characters, considering most games purposefully shy away from letting the player look exactly like original characters, I do agree that they should expand the wardrobe (and the hairstyles).

And I can't really imagine what would be added to the game; in the last two generations GF's been chock full of ideas. I just know that the prospect of a Z version excites me. And, all things considered, I can't see a Z version existing without Zinnia being there in some way; that just seems like a missed opportunity.

 

[Twilight-kun]

223325

There was a lot of missed opportunity with Flare

In X&Y, they come off as a cheap Team Galactic/Rocket combo

Gathering loads of money? Rocket did that
Stealing Electricity to power their stuff? Galactic did that
Using a Legendary Pokemon's power to reset the region? Galactic did that

 

[blue]

222326

Yeah, Team Flare's goals seemed to be pretty scattered in comparison to the likes of Team Galactic.

 

[Twilight-kun]

223327

I think they had finished the Mega Evolution segment and then realized "Oh, we need an evil team...uhh....uhm...hnn...money, pokeballs and electricity; brilliant, ship it"

 

[Ivysaur]

Team Plasma were evil, Team Galactic were crazy, Aqua and Magma are cool and Rocket were the loveable mafia gang we grew up with.

Flare were just weird.

223328

 

[Twilight-kun]

Team Rocket is the cool older brother

Team Flare is the lame younger brother you pretend you don't have

Whelp, my sis bought me Alpha Sapphire as a belated present, so whoo. I originally planned to get it physically since I got X digitally, but Amazon took time so we just got it from the eshop. For the first time ever I'm running low on space, so I think I'll need to upgrade from my 16 gig to a 32 gig (or even a 64 gig), but that's what Cyber Monday is for :q

Also, I never did finish the demo, so I won't get the goodies. One day, though.

But yeah, Flare was just the generic "Beauty is love, beauty is life" antagonist that you see mostly in anime but also feels partially Disney. Though I do like how much care they took with the story's presentation, even if, for the most part, the story wasn't even about Flare. As in, 95%.
