looks worse than a PS2 game from 2005 by a tiny studio
You don't remember what PS2 games look like. FFXII was the most impressive looking JRPG on the system with a massive budget. This is what its city streets look like in a cutscene with scene rendering and object culling.

Finishead reading the first volume, my first impressions are positive. It isn't a straight up adaptation of the game story so far. Hareta is basically a jungle boy who lived with Pokémon and can understand them, Mitsumi is an adult/teenage assistant that travels with him and helps him with matters regarding the human side of the adventure. Jun and Hareta never met, so their rivalry started after they met earlier, not being like the childhood friends in the game.

The duo objective is to capture Dialga, no reason stated so far, but here, check this professor Rowan parenting advise:

Hareta is initially very on hands with Pokemon, fighting in himself like a jungle boy. As for the fights, it really reminds me of the early anime fights where they would also use terrain to their advantage and creating combos like for example Piplup using an airborn peck. They also use game itens like awakenings and berries and pokemon abilities like Torrent.

Hareta is depicted as a child but Mitsumi and Jun have the same height, not sure if they are the same age or Hareta is just a manlet. But here, Jun trying to catch other stuff rather than Pokemon.

And something that always should be in a pokemon story, some pokemon on human violence because it is funny.

There is a running gag that Hareta always throws Piplup's pokeball very hard be it far away or in strange situations, his first usage of Piplup's pokeball was with his teeth inside his own mouth.

So far with the first volume, it is quite the usual corocoro manga, if continues like this, it will be an alright adventure/read
Have you checked X&Y arc?? If you didn’t I highly recommend it. That shit is boarder line homicidal
 
It makes the Switch look like a fucking joke.
What is it with the main pocketmon vidya (not made by a 3rd party) always looking more crude than contemporary vidya? Like compare Red and Blue to Link's Awakening, Ruby and Sapphire to Golden Sun or Minish Cap, Diamond and Pearl to Golden Sun: Dark Dawn, and so on ...
 
This is retarded because very few real women play Pokemon and even fewer are autistic enough to go to Pokemon tournaments.
From my experience playing the TCG there’s a lot more women that play than there is with other games, like magic. I think it stems from enjoying cute nostalgic things as opposed to putting troons front and center.

I hate that Iono cycles out with G block because if they don’t add some kind of hand disruption/reloading then the H-on format’s going to be even worse with all of the mega wanking.

Did Craptendo use bribes to get the patent? Wtf is going on? Now it's being re-examined but the director of the USPTO says there are concerns about the reputation of the US patent system. I'd say something Niggtendo did somethign shady and the USPTO is involved.

 
I think we have a problem when your game can be compared to Sonic 06.
You can at least see the windows and balconies popping out in the 06 screenshot. I'd compare this to an early-mid PS2 game, which is crazy because everything else looks pretty fine at least on the Switch 2.

They could’ve just shut the fuck up and left Palworld to die alone… but Nooooooooooo they had to make a rukus by suing them over bullshit and unintentionally gave them free publicity.

SUFFUAH!
 
It's a better read than the DP manga adaption, it's very charming and the characters wind up having a surprising amount of depth. Without trying to spoil any plot points, don't assume all the characters are around the same age because their designs are based on Dawn/Lucas/Barry (and yes Hareta is a manlet).
>It's a better read than the DP manga adaption,

Which one? I am reading the one by Ihara Shigekatsu.

I read last year, I enjoyed, this was kinda weird for me because It was the first special arc that I didn't play the games, so I can't comment much about what it does. But I really liked it.

I will later write more about the manga but this second volume already went into something that I didn't expected. In 2 pages he went from 2 badges into 5 without even showing the fights. Also Mitsumi was also a contest stacy. It is always good to see more contest stuff.

Also the tranny dev of Emerald Seaglass, will release his game on 14, lets see if he can do a good original game. I think Seaglass is alright but I want to see what he can truly do with an original idea and execution.

The regular manga. Adventures was a standalone spinoff while the regular manga involved an ongoing universe - that has its strengths but I think Adventures is better if taken in a vacuum.
OK, this is really confusing. The "main" manga is called Pokemon Special in Japan, and is called Pokemon Adventures in the official English release. The standalone manga Registration is reading is called Diamond & Pearl Story in Japan, and the official English release calls it Diamond & Pearl Adventure!
(That's not to mention the Clefairy gag manga, whose Gen 4 manga is also just called Pokemon DP.)

If you're saying DP Story is better than Special's DP arc, then I would have to disagree. Special's DP and Platinum arcs were amazing and full of memorable moments, while DP Story was alright and kind of forgettable.
 
I like how that scan is so craptacular that those interference patterns in the halftone are squeezing color out of monochrome, and that one can see the texture of the paper.

:thinking:
This isn't even the biggest example of it, there were pages that some very specific onomatopeias were colored that I thought it was amusing.

The regular manga. Adventures was a standalone spinoff while the regular manga involved an ongoing universe - that has its strengths but I think Adventures is better if taken in a vacuum.
Jesus, this is why I hate american bullshit. This manga was localized as Pokemon: Diamond & Pearl Adventure, when it was originally just Pokémon Diamond and Pearl.

Now the REGULAR manga that you said it was Pokémon Special, but Viz localized it was Pokemon Adventures instead. So I was thinking of a possible third manga series unrelated to both of this that never existed lol.

I thought this was a Gold and Silver Situation where the less known manga is ignored.
 
I got Z-A as a gift a few weeks back. I finally beat it. It was better than I thought it would be, but I still had some gripes with it. Mostly the environment and movement options. No water travel? No glide or flight? Movement in Arceus as a whole felt better. And Lumiose is just not cool enough of an environment to really carry the whole game.

The game actually runs pretty well though, which is nice after Scarlet. The character designs feel a lot less hideous and a little more uniform here too. Scarlet/Violet had a few different character designers all with styles that didn't quite mesh and, even though there's still lots of designers credited here, everyone looks a lot more in line with one another and with the Pokemon aesthetic in general. I do kinda wish we saw more established characters from X/Y though.

Also: Why are all the Electric type gym leaders (Or leader equivalent here) ethot streamers now?
