You're right, and I agree, but I was focusing on the Pokemon themselves.I have some unfortunate news for you
I miss the dual screen UI. It worked so much better than the single screen tech these days...Similar exceptions can be made for all of Gen 7 (because Gamefreak still cared enough about UI design back then to take an arguably maximalist approach during the absolute peak of bland black and white modernism).
In that case I'd say no but idk about others. Pokémon's always done its own thing in the monster design department (ironically, that very thing is creative plagiarism of nature, but not of aesthetic trends, hidden behind stylization). The only thing I can kind of think of in terms of Pokémon design is Porygon's line, which goes from a shitty 90s polygon to a 2000s blobbygon and then every modern AAA game of today with Z
I miss dual screens in general. Gaming peaked with the DS family and has yet to recover. Praying that the Switch 2 clamshell rumors that have been floating around for years are true.
I thought the gameboy advance SP was great. Easy to carry around, and you didn't have to worry about the screen getting fucked up like the original gameboys.
The SP was the perfect size, was durable enough, and most importantly had the revolutionary backlit screen so I didn't need a shitty peripheral light that plugged into my gameboy to play at night under my covers or during night time car rides.
Don't forget the rechargeable battery, you ended up saving money due to not constantly buying AAs and getting scolded for taking said AAs out of the TV remote. The only complaint I have for the SP is the loss of the headphone jack, that required an additional dongle that used the charge port.
It was still way too small.
Not when you were a kid with kid sized hands.
I installed it, was horrified at the 500MB installation and screwing around with it for 10 minutes as I can't even get enough to battle, just makes me wish that there was a modern version of the Game Boy game. It was great—almost every card released at the time, easy to get into, good single-player campaign, and some really catchy music.
I really like the look of this. No other commentary to add; just this really caught my eye.
Then they were all perfectly sized.
There is one with groudon, too.
The switch has the perfect size and handling for fragile soyboy hands.
making it part steel kinda makes sense, since appearance-wise it looks like it's made out of metal.
>Guardians would act as a 5th move slot
They thought about adding 5th or even 6th slot for moves in Gen 3, but decided against it as it would be too different from the norm and be a nightmare to balance.
I liked the change to Electric/Steel, though they really should've made the Magnemite evolutions have Levitate. It even says they levitate in the Pokedex entries.
