They said the gyms here have themes instead of monotypes? I'd say that's a decent change. Probably the only thing it does right though from what I've seen so far. Ok, second thing, after the doofy looking Delta!Diglet

So, apart from the edge, it seems like it's... not bad? I mean I'm not going to go out and play it, to drat with faint praise, there's some effort put into it unlike the other LP being LP'd right now.

It's why I never care until post game about natures and IVs and EVs. I feel that ruins the game

DoubleNegative posted:Hard difficulty I know USUM at least (and I think SuMo) would give out IV and EV values to individual trainers you'd encounter, with the spread you'd expect (not sure about natures). A preschooler would have terrible IVs and not care about EVs, per se. A veteran would have beneficial IVs and EVs. Elite Four effectively has a min-maxed team, if I recall correctly. Also, is there no way to have disobedient Pokemon in hard mode, just not able to overlevel them?

Ok, so, plot edginess and meta bullshit aside, I do have to say they at least have some decent mechanical ideas for the game. I expect the entire plot to rear its ugly as gently caress head soon though, it's been super subdued.

Again, I reiterate, there's glimpses of a good game here. Edgelord plot aside, they make what could be a long and stupid "check the library" sidequest and such at least somewhat interesting with stupid joke book titles which helps take some of the edge of the tedium off. Would I say it's a good game? Nah, it's ok, but you can tell there's some legit effort put in. Unlike Reborn.

Also, the racing mini-game is a pretty nice addition. Again, broken record, the plot is EDGELORD EXTREME, but I have to give the actual gameplay elements some kudos.

Blaze Dragon posted:The Surf part was honestly kind of adorable and very Pokemon-like. Poor guy really wanted that moment and we, accidentally, ruined it for him. It's why it's not a bad game compared to the trainwreck that is Reborn et al., if you ask me. It's at least trying to be funny between the edgy parts, instead of ALL EDGE ALL THE TIME like Reborn. I worry that the edgelord plot will rear its ugly head poorly, but for now I'm content to say it's not bad.

Couple things here: 1. Does the easy mode fight dispense of the balloons? 2. The balloons themselves are annoying, but when you have a gym that is entirely week to such things, it makes sense to have it. There's still other ways to win, unlike Reborn which completely takes away any potential advantage.

GoldGeno posted:I mean, there was an episode in the Hoenn arc of the anime where some fisherman tried to use a Master Ball on a giant Wishcash and it literally just ate the thing and went back into the water. No amount of "captures without fail" can stand in the way of just not letting the thing trigger in the first place. Both good points

Blaze Dragon posted:Okay Taen is my favourite character now. Making fun of the Darkrai cult and then pointing out how using a Master Ball to get a legendary is common sense is amazing, especially with how chill he was saying it. Common sense, come on. Amazing. "I'm going to ask NICELY for you to help me take over the world" vs "We have a well established method of capturing these creatures, why aren't we using it?" That's another thing I have to give Insurgence credit for, the villains are evil, sure, but they're also different compared to each other. Different motivations, natch, but also have different methods. I'm guessing Reborn and Uranium broke me.

Assuming the Poke Dollar is similar to the Japanese Yen, in that it's roughly 1 USD = 100 Yen (ok, not really anymore), you can come out with 20 grand if you play your cards right in USUM (likely same with SuMo but you also don't have Rainbow Rocket). Tack on 200 from chucking Pyukumuku once a day, you could make a pretty penny. Who knows though.

Incoming mini-rant: It's interesting comparing and contrasting Reborn and Insurgence. I'm not going to get into the plots into much detail, apart from Insurgence actually gives your player agency. Also the fact that the writers know how to smile and tell a joke to balance out the edge (and apparently the non-edgy version is pretty decent). I digress. No, I'm going to go into battle mechanics. DoubleNegative is playing on "normal" mode, which is hard, but not "gently caress you" hard apart from a few battles, usually gym leaders or cult leaders. You know, the ones you expect to be hard. But it's hard in a way that's "balanced". You're not restricted with what Pokemon you can and can't use beyond what you'd expect in a Pokemon game. The teams are min/maxed in a competitive sense, but you can handle them as DoubleNegative is showing by spamming super-effective moves. Or you know, what you do in every other Pokemon game in the main story  . It also gives you means to set your team up in a min/max fashion easily. So it's hard, but it also tries to reduce the grind as well. And again, if you want, you can play on an easier version. So it's catering to those who A. just want to play a darker game, B. those who want a darker game and a challenge, and C. those who love Dark Souls. So from a gameplay perspective, it's pretty solid, in my opinion.Reborn restricts what mons you can use, or if lets you one that could potentially use a useful move, locks moves that would help via TM beyond where it would be useful or makes going over the level cap disabiling your mons. The additional field types almost always are designed to buff the NPC's mons, making it harder to fight them. It doesn't help you at all. It's for masochists. Sorry OFS.
