Eh, as long as they keeping going in the same direction as they did in Gen 6 in terms of improvements and changes then I'll be completely on board. Though as far as characters are concerned, they should probably take some cues from Gen 5.

And for music...any other Generation, really (though ideally Gen 2). Gen 6 music wasn't bad, but it wasn't particularly standout, either, focusing more on atmosphere than memorability and catchiness (Moreso for XY than ORAS)

When have you ever needed competitive-level Pokémon to beat the game?

Them focusing on making more natural-looking environments would be a huge thing for me. Everything is still arranged in perfect rectangles (with soft edges as of gen 6) and the grid the world is based on is still painfully apparent. Nope, you can't walk on this rectangle of slightly darker glass, because we say so. XY and ORAS have started to explore outside of the grid itself a little bit, but with the hardware they're on right now, there's really no reason too keep the grid at all, other than complacency.

I've probably mentioned hundreds of times how I'd like them to rethink the battle system, but it's not like that's going to happen.

Agreed on XY's soundtrack. It was their first try with orchestrated music, and for that it sounded great. It was grand and definitely set a feel for Kalos. It didn't have much character, however.

In regards to the first thing, yeah, I pretty much just pick whichever Pokemon I like best and go crazy.

82

It seems like they're trying with the battle system. I mean, there wasn't anything major in 6th gen, but they've been giving ideas a try and I respect that much. Will we ever see any sort of major change?

...Probably not. Though I would be interested in a Rune Factory-esque spinoff. Not so much in the way of it being a farm/ARPG/Life Sim, but in it being different enough from the main game but still having roots in the source material so that I could latch onto that instead due to its different ideas and ultimately its overall unique appeal. A Pokemon NOT, of sorts. I'd be interested.

In general, the Pokemon I like most tend to be strong anyway.

My two favorites were pseudolegies (i.e. Salamence and Metagross) before I even entered the world of metagame.

They're generally pretty good at making mons with high stats look really cool.

Aside for some outclassed gen 1 mons. I blame sneaky power creep.

I like Peekatchu

Also today is a great day for the US

You mean a great day for you.

Pokemon's battle system is fine

Optimizing it to reduce lag when there's multiple pokemon would be a nice touch though

3v3 battles are exceptionally slow...

Just finished rewatching the Tales of Vesperia movie.

I love how they used the game intro for the credits cutscene, that was smart.



Oh Yuri <3

Years and years without change doesn't really make for a lot of fun over time.

It's why I never really got into Gen 5. Gen VI got a pass because even if it was the same, it tried things, and the 3D conversion made it feel fresh.

But same battle system and few changes = Gen VII might mean a skip for me.

Oh, right, I keep forgetting I'm the one person in existence that plays Pokemon for the story

Everyone else wants easier ways to get perfect Pokemon and I'm over here wondering what happened in Kalos

How did Team Flare find Xerneas/Yveltal?
Where did AZ go after the credits?

Perfect candidates for stuff to be brought up in X2Y2/Z.

Man, B2W2 were good though. Those games felt so complete.

You're not, but Pokemon doesn't put it's story first anyway, which doesn't really make it a winner in that area. As I've said before, story's one thing, but even if Pokemon did put its story first, the gameplay's stasis would still be glaringly noticeable.

If you look at games like Ace Attorney, that works because you're always doing something different even if the game, overall, does nothing different from the last. Same engine, different assets. But then you look at games like Danganronpa, Inazuma Eleven, and more relevant, any of the Pokemon Spin-off sequels, most of which have higher priority on story than the main games, they're similar to their predecessors moreso than more major sequels, but seldom so similar as the main Pokemon games are.

I mean, if you're going to just look at the story and ignore the other parts of the game, you're just as well off watching the show or Let's Plays. Or playing other games, really; Pokemon's a strange choice in title if you're looking for a compelling narrative in a game and nothing else.

Speaking of that, do we have a release date on Urban Legend in Limbo?

Sync, no, see, the only thing I associate "Reisen" with is you. So what I'm perceiving here is some sort of twisted self-love. Remember, it's vital to love yourself, and masturbation is completely natural. But when you just write your own name with a heart next to it, things have gotten weird.

Been out for a month and a half, old man.

Goddammit, I meant Legacy of- fuck it.

I want to do lewd things to that Salamence girl

Yukari June 26th, 2015 4:05 PM

I want to un-see that Salamence Girl.

Orph, why has it gotten to the point where you can't even stand a picture of a girl?
