Scorbunny, Raboot, and Cinderace? Don't be silly, those are just a

It’s because they’re ambitious. I have a whole post I’ll make tomorrow probably, but the problem is that when Pokemon Company decides to do something in a big different way it literally always goes south. Johto didn’t crash and burn, but the inclusion of Kanto was a bad idea to begin with, and it’s one of the least popular regions, if not the most unpopular, for a reason. When Kalos dropped and they wanted to do a big event with the transition to 3D, it went so badly they cut a quarter of the region and had to delay the associated Pokebank by months, and created the only save annihilating bug the series has ever had. USUM was allegedly a grand wrap up for the series on handheld, and it sucked because it had like no editing and was churned out in a year by the beta team. ScarVi decided to be the first open world structure game (discounting PLA which is the only good game) and made a big open map that is beset by constant glitching and nonsense. And now Gen 10, according to Teraleak 2.0, is focused on “infinity” and procedurally generating infinite possible islands as if they could handle coding a game on railroad tracks with any kind of fidelity, and are making a game that’s supposed to span four regions like that went well the first time.

Instead we have mega stones locked behind a paywall and will become unobtainable when the servers shut down

I think that’s really the worst part. Mega Delphox is impossible to use the first time through because it’s not in rotation yet. Delphox is also impossible to use when the servers go because it will never be available. Somehow, the Legends spinoffs, which started in a place of being able to do everything by yourself, have immediately pivoted to the main series conceit that the most important part of Pokemon is its competitive scene. I despise it. Every failure of every generation has been over this insistence that the most important part of the games is the competitive stuff after you’ve beaten the story and it’s just not.

Can we get new developers/producers at this point. How did they think this would go over well. I saw Dexit go down yet this feels worse somehow

He enters the battle too late, Hoopa—contorted in its Unbound Form—is enthralled in the heat of violence behind Giovanni. It summons monsters with a sweep of its palm, roaring out commands to them. A pokémon made a welder. Giovanni doesn’t even bother to tell it what to do, instead focusing on his pokémon.

Pokémon of myth appear and disappear as their use wanes. Hoopa treats them as tools; the same way Lear had once treated it. Paulo’s Lycanroc is fast yet no match for a cunning creature like his friend.

Lear clutches Staraptor’s Poké Ball in his hand, but before he can rush out to the field and summon it, Hoopa turns toward him. Its pupils dilate as friends meet gazes, and the captured pokémon it commands turn to face him as well.

“Hoopa!” Lear yells out to his friend, but it laughs and laughs and laughs. “You’re better than this!”

Hoopa smirks at him, rows of teeth on display, and a war begins.
