EVERYONE SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LOOK
insane design choice. the implications of this are wild to me.
Alot of y'all don't pay attention to the dialog in this game n it shows
Emma used to be homeless in XY
Lida can't afford rent at her apartment n lives at the Hotel instead
Naveen lives at the Hotel to escape his hostile Grandma
The wild zones r seen as BAD, Mable constantly complaining about the little research done on em plus the ppl protesting em
The hostile benches r apart of the story telling in the game, Lumiose has become hostile and unfriendly...THATS APART OF THE STORY!!!
Edit: Im also gonna point out how racist y'all sound assuming GameFreak doesn't know wtff anti-homeless benches are. Multi million dollar company and u think they don't know about anti-homeless benches in the grand yr of 2025....(XY doesn't have those benches btww like stop actin dumb)
Japan also has anti-homeless benches dawg don't be stupid now....
I wasn't sure if I should say it, but I think I'm gonna. An anime adaptation of Legends Z-A should be a miniseries with 15 year old Ash as the main protagonist.
Not out of a desire to see him again, not for nostalgia baiting, not because I don't like the Horizons squad (they're great!)
But because Legends Z-A has:
- A 5 year timeskip from XY(Z)
- A tournament where you battle your way to the very top and later just battle infinitely for the fun of it
- A free for all battle zone every night where you can just jump people and start battles that way
- An excuse to revisit old npcs like during Journeys but years later with fun new designs
- Nouveau Flare (Alain potential?)
- L(ysandre) and Zygarde/Squishy
- Wild zones for Team Rocket to fall into/hide in/get mauled in
- Mega Victreebel for James (he's absolutely gonna get eaten)
- Rust Syndicate to be infiltrated by Team Rocket
- Rust Syndicate to hunt Team Rocket for sport
- Hoopa and dimension hopping
- Lumiose tower issues (Clemont? Bonnie? Hello?)
- Jacinthe and the SBC
- New mega Lucario
- Two mega Raichus for Pikachu to battle against and possibly have some sort of character arc about
- Mega Delphox (hi Serena!)
- Mega Dragonite
- Mega Hawlucha (excuse to bring back old buddies from XY)
- Speaking of old buddies, 5 years should be more than enough time to clean up the mess made by Team Flare during XYZ, which brings me to
- Mega. Fucking. Greninja.
And, again, it's not for the sake of nostalgia or profits for Nintendo because omgggg 1000 new hat Pikachu merchandise. It's because I can literally, physically, audibly, spiritually hear Ash Ketchum clawing the walls, chewing the furniture and rattling the bars of his cage SCREAMING AND HOWLING to be allowed in there.
Bonnie would absolutely be a Pokémon trainer too by that point and she'd probably have squishy in cellular form in her team
Which brings me to L(ysandre) because I get the funny feeling she'd be like "WTF I OKAYED YOUR EXECUTION HOW ARE YOU NOT DEAD!?"
That or the more likely route she helps L with gathering the zygarde cells due to having squishy as her literal best friend forever.
I think it's funny that Jacinthe threatens to buy Hotel Z and this is treated like a bad thing even though it would solve, like, all their money problems. Like, the only one of us who actually worked there is Urbain so he's the only person she can technically make go to her stupid tournament.
And it's not like she'd kick us out, she's annoying not evil.
