I‘m afraid I have no choice but to express some opinions about the rise of skywalker

finished pokemon violet today! will post more specific thoughts in my annual review roundup post (i guess it's an annual thing now), but:

somehow an actually good story with good writing, which to my recollection a mainline pokemon game has never once had???

professor turo what the FUCK

new mon are extremely fun, especially the cute one with a giant fuckoff 160-base-power hammer that Kills Everything

they really need to fuckin' condense the combat flow UX at some point- "ENEMY used Confuse Ray!" [animation of confuse ray] [animation of tweety birds] "YOU was confused!" [animation of tweety birds again] "YOU is confused!" [couple seconds of building tension] [animation of it hitting itself] "YOU hurt itself in its confusion!"... that should be like, two steps, over in like four or five seconds tops. we're not on the gameboy anymore, you have so many more feedback channels to keep the player informed of what's happening

larry's gonna be a tumblr sexyman calling it now

BOY oh boy is the camera a mess. pop-in is so bad that i've literally walked into pokemon in the overworld that were invisible because their textures hadn't loaded in at the time i collided with their hitbox, several times. if you battle anything at the water's edge your pokemon falls into the sub-ocean and somehow the battle continues to function just fine. the opponent just aims Down now

wow epic minecraft reference

hey why is there one (1) place in the whole game where there's double battles, and a pair of pokemon whose concept and unique abilities literally only work in double battles, and they only spawn at levels higher than the level cap of the gym where you can double battle. why do you hate double battles, gamefreak, they're the best kind of pokemon battle

arven did you literally call a taxi to pick you up from the Illegal Death Crater. what was that conversation like. how much did you have to tip that guy.

fuck are the environments ugly. anywhere that isn't a town is dirt textures with airbrushed-on green for grass, everything is blurry and polygonal, huge swathes of samey wilderness- between this and Legends Arceus it's super clear pokemon needs more time in the oven.

eri and her lieutenant girl are really fuckin gay huh

penny is really fuckin trans huh

the ambush/stealth mechanics are basically nonfunctional, in that they're realistic and pokemon who could realistically see you coming from a reasonable distance away using physical eyesight with peripheral vision do, and then don't turn around and ignore you at any point, so you're only getting surprise attacks if you're extremely lucky

getting around the world with miraidon actually feels really smooth and fun- if only the world like, contained anything worth exploring to find

the little photos with the pokedex entries are cute

Clive.

if it weren't for the many and varied symptoms of pokemon getting rushed out the door for the holidays every fucking year, this would probably take home the prize for my favorite mainline pokemon game so far. as is, eeeeenh. sorely needs polish, lot of wasted potential, many good ideas that could've been developed better
