I read "konami" like "mon amis" because it was all lower case and not in the big red logo and got so confused 😭

Which is unusual for a pokemon game, they usually maintain some degree of liveliness or interactability with it's characters post story, I know there's the ZA Infinite thing where you can battle all the trainers but it doesn't have the same energy or fun.

I find it really difficult to go back to after the story, I did finish a good bit of the post game stuff and got most of the pokedex but I think what really kills it is how the liveliness of the game kinda dies with AZ, once there's no next adventure everyone stops being themselves..

Still figuring it out at 30 and while I'm still anxious and a bit angsty I at least know everyone else is too

Was so disappointed that building doesn't really exist anymore in this game lol it's weird how much of Lumios is the same and how much is missing.
Nice to see old characters get mentioned at least

I didn't notice the slowness as much but with that considered it's seemingly designed as if you have more control over your pokemon's positioning and can aim the moves, in practice they're not much different from physical attacks outside of how the damage is calculated.

Last few bits, some game idea stuff, mostly just ideas and sketches, I try not to take my art so seriously anymore, if it's not fun or drawn from a genuine emotion I don't see the point. I know that's not very cash money of me but I need my art to be this way lol.

Just started Moon(despite having it downloaded on my switch since it came out). There garbled speech sounds are more unnerving when you can make out the actual sentences 😅

I love Chinchou and Lanturn, little round man and porpoise are certainly a unique take on angler fish designs.
Also love the gbc style colours you use in your pictures, really captures the gold, silver and crystal vibe! 🙂

Oh yeah, it took me too long to realize I wasn't losing any progress when dying either, surprisingly not cruel for an 80s rpg.
You love it really though

To be fair, they did show us how bad a pokemon Z could have been. Could you imagine a kalos sequel that didn't explore any of the loose ends and cut stuff from X and Y and what it does add only leaves you wanting and disappointed?

Not sure if it's a cure all but playing old nes rpgs helped get me out of that habit

That one dark section near the beginning with the chainlink fences and zombies everywhere lol. But that's the half life experience, there's a lot of beautiful stuff between the intense parts
