To be entirely fair, that Pat guy intentionally shitposts to get in dumb Twitter arguments for funsies. He’s liked and retweeted posts that both point out bad the argument is and just says stuff to fuck with people.
Some pokemon review channels are even getting into the whole "social commentary" bs that Legends is a reference to the Ainu genocide.
I haven't seen any of the trailers since I want to go into the game blind, but my guess is that it sets a bad example for the rest of the environments in the game. It's like that one cliff in SwSh that was overlooking the wild area or whatever, and how bad that looked in screenshots/trailers. Actually, I think that one looked worse in game than it did trailers?
I don't understand how grown ass adults have time to seethe on the internet that the new Pokemon game isn't some imaginary perfect product. It's very confusing to me as a long time fan of the series that's never really been shy to criticizing it that all these people popping out of the woodwork to screech about poorly textured trees or shadow draw distance don't think they look like flippant children.
Yeah. And it's not like there aren't things to he unhappy about with new Pokemon games. Hell I'll always be a little upset that we got cucked out of a true definitive edition of the Hoenn games because Masuda decided that Battle Facilities were cringe, but Im not going to spend my life seething on twitter about it because I have better things to do
It's a sad endless cycle. I get that "Don't ask questions, just consoom product and get excited for next product" mentality is something that needs to be criticised, but if you are still buying the game just for the sake of hating on it, and even if you don't buy it you are still complaining about it for months as if it's rent free to you thus giving more publicity, you pretty much become what you hate. This doesn't apply only to Pokemon by the way.
Of course the majority of them are bitchy white liberals. Looks like another case of Westerners, especially Americans, shoving their noses into a history and culture they know fuck all about to play white savior to a group of people who probably don’t give a fuck.
Tbh if PLA does well I'd love to see another Legends game set in a type of colonial Unova, that would be super cool
I really would love to have an entire arc in the past, and we get to see more variants of Pokemon that have either adapted to the climate at the time, or now extinct species.
This is the problem though, other than Unova what other region would make a good legends? I guess you could do Kalos for Xygarde but if they aren't willing to get into the nitty gritty of the Kalos war it can be a bit limiting potential wise.
Alola? Then again that sounds a bit too recent, maybe.. Johto?
Kanto and Johto are literally right next to each other geographically. A Legends game about their history would be epic. Would tell the story behind the Burned Tower, if the regions were originally named differently (for example, Hokkaido used to be called Ezo). If the Pokemon were any varied from climate and environmental factors, and if ancestors of common characters we know lived at that time.
Hoenn, yo. The Regis I doubt could carry a Legends game (still include them, though), but the Titans would be neat.
Kanto: how far that Nostalgia can go?
