I never got back to this thread, and I just wanted to say this looks and sounds incredible. My only qualm is that you've relegated the Aegean to post-game content and I love me some islands (seriously, RSE was THE BEST!). In this I might push for a western start with midgame access to Istanbul...

Addendum to the previous- Professor Sycamore is ass. Dude is “researching” Mega Evolution like it’s this wholly unknown phenomenon, but we routinely see experts with generations of passed down lore. Also, it took Diantha all of three seconds to recognize the involvement of Zygarde from a vision...

I’m definitely in agreement here. I’m not advocating for full on unlocking of everything. I just think adding in 10-20 newer Pokémon and allowing for evo lines (also Leafeon could totally have been an Ilex Forest level up and Glaceon an Icy Path level up, instead of having the trade to Platinum)...

I hypocritically don’t mind that, in a way. I was actually all in favor of Gen 3’s approach of mostly hardlocking Gen 3 ONLY for the playthrough (shoutout to Marill for making the cut). It was fun and fresh kept things feeling different. It’s just that, for me, in remakes and games with...

The rigid adherence to National Dex limitations, specifically in gen 4. for HGSS, there’s a decent amount of criticism for Gen 2 for the minutiae of Pokémon collection (waiting for swarms, specific event days, etc…). HGSS also introduces this badass idea of regional sounds, to bring in even...

Randomly watching through XY and, not having seen the new protagonists at all, I really think they could have stepped up into Bonnie’s era. Likeable, already has her own spark mouse, adventurous spirit, not yet locked into the gym format that Ash was so content was wide open. The closest to...

Fine, I’ll do it. I’ll finally do the Hoppip run I’ve always wanted to do. Jumpluff to the moon, here I come!

I was trying to avoid "calm down" myself. And thanks for the tip, I'll try to get to incorporating that.

For the last time, the nuclear locations don't have to be mentioned or acknowledged in any way. If you're familiar with it, then you get it, if you aren't then you just see two cool legendaries found in the exact same manor of Ho-oh and Lugia, in a manmade structure in the middle of the map and...

You've been very emphatic about everyone but you being wrong because this is a kids game, but I think you're definitely overestimating how much that matters. > Yeah the odds for gamefreak to do a game with a scenario based on real world conflicts are so High! RSE had two dudes that wanted to do...

I'd be more than fine if it were something else. It's just that it's the easy opportunity to inject Godzilla into the franchise, with Godzilla originally being a huge allegory for the horrors of nuclear warfare after Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Kanto - Best - Route 12-13. Really it's the whole stretch from Lavender to Fuschia, but these two stick out as unique among routes and it felt like you were really somewhere new, not just exploring new grasslands. (Bonus shoutout to Route 15 in GSC where you can trade for an Aerodactyl here)...

So there's plenty of countries with a longer history than the USA, but the USA isn't the end-all be-all of North America. There's centuries of history predating colonization. In fact, conflict between a new nation and indigenous populations found in all regions (like the mainland Native...

The Pokemon Chronicles show had the potential to be better than the mainline Pokemon show but never got to realize it. It was a great idea, I just think they decentralized it just a little too much. I'm imagining a show that, instead of random one-off stories of old friends, seasonally follows a...

Much earlier on someone talked about the Middle East/MENA not being a viable location because land, and thus Pokemon, diversity would be lacking but I've got to disagree there. Possible inspirations include - Normal - Pretty easy to envision Fire - Blistering suns, nomadic campfires, ifrit...
