there's a Sky ad featuring him that was playing at the cinema for like six months and every line delivery in it is like this. it's sort of unwatchable. highly recommend

i guess i could say the game is uneven, but the good stuff i think is genuinely pretty great and compelling. i also think this game has the best characters in a long time, i really love basically all of them and i laughed out loud multiple times. i'm excited for the next legends game again!!

like my biggest issue with the game is definitely that the city environment runs dry about 20 hours before the end and that it desperately needed variety, but choosing to make the guys look the best they ever have in 3D i think is a much wiser decision than modelling the inside of 50 clothes shops

also while obviously the budgets for these games should be way longer, i actually think this is the first 3D game that feels like it's making smart choices in regards to that. no part of the main quest felt undercooked, the Pokemon animations are all wonderful

it's exciting too cuz i think pushing the depth in that kind of way and making interesting encounters and all that actually *is* within the scope of these microscopic budgets, cuz this game manages it multiple times

i suspect this won't happen though cuz that'd be a layer of complexity too far. the design goal is probably primiarly to allow Little Timmy to beat the game by mashing everything as it comes off cooldown, though the good moments here are so good that i now really want it pushed haha

like sometimes you'll sandwich an opponent between you and your pokemon which is ideal but then using any special move makes them march over to you to use it.

i don't think letting us just say control our Pokemon with the right stick would be good - a degree of separation that feels like they're being commanded is still good imo, but i wonder if there's room to make the d-pad give their AI certain behaviours to follow

there's a few moments in the PvE where things click and it's like wow this system is incredible, but it's simultaneously lacking in confidence to do things like let damage to the player matter, automate less/give more direct control to the trainer, that kinda thing

that's a phenomenal position. decided I'm taking it up

nearly burst out laughing when it arrived. it was the best fish and chips i've ever had

oh i was in the netherlands this weekend too lmao glad you enjoyed!!!!

where the hell was this

It really doesn't make any sense!!! The indomitable human spirit!!!/you must live!!!! endings don't really coalesce with anything else in the film or source material at all. this is unsurprising because nothing else seemingly poignant in the film coalesces with anything at all either
