They still called this Mr Rime and it's still 50/50 male and female.
With the way new megas look do you really want that?
After seeing ZA gameplay and their plans for gen 10, it's pretty clear that Pokemon is about to become Final Fantasy 2.0.
It looks like it could be decent and maybe something I could be into even if it's unpolished, but my god am I really tired of "chick with sword" main characters.
The image gives me roblox vibes, and it straight up looks like something you'd see in pokemon brick bronze (roblox pokemon game that got shut down)
Sungrand is the last person I will listen to and acknowledge when it comes to gaming. The guy is a lolcow.
Kinda curious, for consistancy-sake, were they like this with past characters too (such as Nessa and Ryme) or is this character the last straw that broke the camel's back so to speak? Because it seems like some of them are still cucked but don't want to admit it.... like the ones that claim ZA is "fun" and "good".
I've pretty much only seen people coom over Nessa, I don't think there was any real backlash to her. Ryme there might of been some complaining cause she's kind of uggo, but she's an old rapper so her design makes sense, it's mostly mostly just questionable why you would go with "old black female rapper" as a character concept. Jacinthe just makes no sense as a design. She's like a rich girl in an old-fashioned princess-y dress with pastel pink and purple clothes and hair, but her skin is near pitch black. It looks wrong visually and it doesn't make sense as a character concept.
tl;dr making a generically cute anime girl and making her skin black for diversity points looks wrong and stupid because black girls don't look like that.
I think what is contentious about this one is the other characteristics don't fit the brown skin color. They just made a generic cute cartoon girl and brownified the skin tone. Ryme was an old woman so no one gives a damn and Nessa was supposed to be a pacific islander, so the skin tone kind of fit the character
Even the lowest common denominator will be able to distinguish liquid diarrhea from a chocolate bar.
In defense of the japanese, that colour scheme does make her look like if a turd was glitterbombed.
Maybe this is an unpopular opinion, but I think Pokemon human designs overall have been hit or miss since SV (or arguably Sword/Shield.) Too many feel like they put random junk over them, and even in Z-A the reoccurring characters like Emma or AZ look drastically different than any of the new characters.
Wasn't there some nontroversy early on with SwSh where some Japanese artist drew her with white skin and got utterly dogpilled on twitter? I think this is something that has been simmering for a while with the Japanese audience.
Yeah. Nessa has some barely visible tan lines, so a lot of people think she actually has naturally lighter skin and is super tanned. IIRC, the same artist who got dogpiled was the one who then pissed people off further by making a sarcastic apology that they drew a more accurate Nessa by drawing her as a realistic chimpanzee.
I've seen a ton of videos saying the only good thing about ZA is the combat and that future pokemon games should get rid of the old battle system entirely. Very midwit opinion. Pokemon actually has a great combat system, it's just that the games never take advantage of it. It definitely does need some serious speeding up though.
