in making Things I've come to notice that some of the characters I get the strongest positive feedback on are the minor ones that usually start as one-off gags

going from the girthy Xenoblade games to Pokémon Legends Z-A was fun considering that it took about half the time to roll credits on it
Legends is really fun though
definitely feels like they nailed Lumiose City feeling like Paris this time and it was an enjoyable romp throughout
