That’s why some of my friends emulated ZA, and when they realized the game actually had care and love put into it they were happy

This shit though? Koei Tecmo I ain’t paying $70 dollars for a game that looks like it should be 40, that isn’t physical, and def ain’t near AoI levels of care

How is it?

Koei Tecmo release AOI at such a huge size and then doing this is super fucking scummy ngl

Then again I guess it’s in line with how little care pokemon gets from any company aside from Game Freak

Were I not limited to 300 characters I'd write a whole essay on how the two lores slowly diverged over time, and how even in early anime there were always some differences! Mewtwo movie is the most blatant example, but I disgress lol

To be fair they both come from the same source, but over time they have seperated. This is also to note that the anime lore now has two different lores with 2 different Ash verses. If Horizon's isn't apart of ashanime, then that'd be 3.

That's fair!

If you want you can play the demo before you buy it. You get to carry over your save data to the full game after, so when the game eventually gets a discount you can grab it!

Also uh, just ignore the dlc if you're not a fan of the anime. That stuff is overpriced

Have you played time stranger yet? That's a really good game

It perfect it... Wtf- It ain't perfect turn into that?

I can get some reasons you have, I disagree with others, and at the end of the day you have a valid opinion. I like it, you don't like it.

existing within the communities, eating food, living their own lives, interacting, but like... Idk I'm rambling about the things I like and dislike lol

I'm happy personally, I'm sad you couldn't enjoy it- But like... I guess that's just bound to happen. It perfect it, but I personally loved ZA.

But Arceus' DLC was free and gave 100 new quests for each mon, and then there's also the research problem. Like I love how it's structured, but then you into arceus and each mon had its own dedicated entry, we also lost smoke bombs, berries, etc... To distract pokemon. We see pokemon alive and

But Arceus had over 200 side quests with the dlc, which heavily focused on the battle aspect. ZA's quests focus on the battle aspect first, and yeah there are a ton of co-existance themed quests... But I want more! And then that goes into the dlc and how that works and potential for more quests

There are so many cool side quests that touch upon how they live, how a litwick was driven were stuck in the sewers and needed food and child gave up some of their life force to keep them well fed. I just... Ya know I want more! What's here is great for me, and I loved it!

But like... Where's the legend in Xerneas and Yveltal, we get some text, and yeah the battles are fun!!! To me at least, but like... I want more. I'm satisfied with what we got, esp cause I am a big zygarde fan, and I love seeing the modern day deal with co-existance and the impact in the sidequests

Zygarde is always around, Zygarde feels so important, same with Floette! There's build up and fanfare for their existance and how they affected the world, how they choose who they deem worthy and their bonds with humans, and Zygarde esp felt like it just was always watching... Cause it was LOL

I mean their stories are shorter than they would be in Arceus. In Arceus you did so much just for Regigigas, Heatran, Manaphy, Giratina, ARCEUS! Xerneas and Yveltal just show up, but like... Where's the fanfare? Where's the impact of two gods appearing!

But like I want more LOL

I want the revolation that a mon's frenzy is doing MORE to help out, I want a mon disgusing itself as a human to blend in and achive its own goal! For the legendaries, they still felt impactful in ZA but...

His great grand mother could have been a Froslass and that the village his family once called home all but vanished? Shit that's chilling!... No pun indended lol.

Like what we have, I like! I think it does a good job! People are starting to treat pokemon not as pets, but as actual beings...
