[pkmn] spoiler pluck i guess
Rindude
So this one is a bit wierd to feel disappointed in but the opening bit
Rindude
Super disappointing there’s no voice acting for the chairman
Rindude
And I think it’s because the text box they use is slightly transparent making it feel like they are subtitles
Rindude
Especially with all the great gestures
ionicOneiroi
I had that exact reaction, then went "wait a moment, there's never been voicing in pokemon games, why does it feel disappointing now?"
ionicOneiroi
I guess it's a combo of that and it being the first full console game in the series that makes it feel like maybe there should be voices in some cutscenes
Rindude
Yeah my thoughts on it exactly
Rindude
Like as soon as hops appear the text box is white that dissapointment is gone and I am fine
ionicOneiroi
tbh considering they've done such a great job with the slang and all, I'd love to have cutscene voicing if only so I can have a solid mental voice to assign to characters on unvoiced text
es un elote
I imagine everyone sounding like they’re from Dragon Quest
ionicOneiroi
I keep forgetting that everyone probably has one British accent or another, and I sure as hell don't have the cultural background to look at the way a character is speaking and figure out which dialect they're probably speaking in
ionicOneiroi
...lmao I'm tempted to do that now, that's great
Rindude
pft
Rindude
Also hrm
Rindude
This feels worse to control in town and the routes then in it did in Sun/moon :c especially with how wierd this camera is
Rindude
Also! ALSO!
Rindude
After N/Cheren/Bianca/That other guy, X/Y dudes, and Hau
Rindude
I am so glad that Hop is a bit of a prick
Rindude
Not to much but just enough of a douche that I want to battle him. Sorta like how Wally was in DPPT
Rindude
Barry*
Rindude
Rivals being nice is nice but its best when you either A) had two rivals that were complete dicks to you (IE why Wally was a breath of fresh air after Silver and Blue)
Rindude
2) Sorta a dick like Barry was
ionicOneiroi
Huh, Hop doesn't strike me as dickish at all, nor did Barry. Just overexcitable.
Rindude
Yeah that's a better word for it
es un elote
Yeah Hop feels a little like they took the XY rival and dumped a lot of Barry flavoring over them
es un elote
So he’s actually compelling and not bland
Rindude
I like HAu, don't get me wrong and I don't think he's bland. He;s just too...nice
ionicOneiroi
the thing that keeps messing me up is no minimap. It's fine in the routes with the fixed camera, but you cannot BELIEVE how often I get turned around in the Wild Area with absolutely zero way to reorient myself save landmarks (of which there are not many truly unique ones)
Rindude
god damnit
Rindude
...
Rindude
Wait what
Rindude
WHAT THE FUCK?
Rindude
NO GIVE ME A POKEBALL GAME THIS ISN'T COOL
Rindude
:c
ionicOneiroi
D: What happen?
Rindude
I just want to catch notched ear doggo
Rindude
Okay so what was that pokemon
Rindude
Because that was not sword dog or shield dog
Rindude
nd it had braids
ionicOneiroi
Oh, it was sword doggo, just in another form
Rindude
:c
Rindude
Aw
Rindude
aaaaaaaaaaand
Rindude
I just spent all my money on an arcanine t-shirt
Rindude
Please stop with the tutorials
Rindude
Its why I said I was familar with pokemon I tHought it would make tjhis not happen
Rindude
....
Rindude
;.; Leon I already have a full team
Rindude
I do not need this tutorial
Rindude
...nevermind continue if you are giving me 20 balls
Rindude
that being said I do appreicate how unlike Sun and Moon
Rindude
the type effectiveness doesn't show unless you have fainted or caught that pokemon before
Rindude
gasp
Rindude
WHAT DOES GLOWY POKEMON MEAN
ionicOneiroi
Usually, glowy pokemon means you get watts (Wild Area currency) for defeating or catching it. On rare occasions, however, I've heard it's linked to a new special feature caught pokemon can rarely have...
ionicOneiroi
Ooooh I didn't know it was better IVs and egg moves too 
Rindude
Catching that nickit then
Rindude
my old one can be rleases >>
