People in-universe probably think she was just taken by a Drifloon.
Why couldn't BDSP have these graphics?
>>55795961I doubt it because she is not the canon protagonist of Platinum or legends.
>>55795972Proof?
>>55796005Her name is Akari. Hikari is the female MC in DPPt.
>>55795967shitfreak cant make an open world, thats why sinnoh was reduced to a bunch of fields, kalos will be reduced to a single city, and paldea is hell
>>55796009That's the npc's nameNot the protagonist
>>55796005Dawn is only the protagonist of DP, as confirmed by Masters. Platinum is the canon mainline game, confirmed by Cynthia in BW, and Platinum advertising always featured Lucas as the MC. Dawn isn't even a competitive trainer in the public's collective memory. Just because closet trannies play using the female avatar doesn't mean Dawn is the MC
>>55796040>mastersnot canon
>>55796045Dawn in the anime also doesn't like fighting, she is a character who loves contests, and in PokemonSpe, Lucas/Diamond is the undisputed MC facing Cyrus and Charon in the distortion world.>>55796045Okay, then Dawn is not even the MC in DP, Lucas is the MC in DPPlt
>>55795967Because GameFreak are lazy cunts and didn't want ILCA to stomp them. Just watch SandLands it looks way better than BDSP.
>>55796063There is no "canon protagonist" period outside of Red, and that's because he was the ONLY protagonist when they decided to introduce him as a character.The reason why we haven't seen anyone from Gold onward appear as characters in the mainline GameFreak games is because they don't want to create a dissonant disconnect with the player's own personal playthrough and experience of the game that character comes from. It was already confusing enough for kids when the boy who looked exactly like their character showed up with the name "Red" and used Pokemon that they probably didn't aside from one of the starters, but it would've been even stranger once RS set the precedent that the player characters will take on completely different roles if they aren't selected. A girl who played as May, thus the daughter of Norman, and became champion would no doubt be weirded out if Hoenn's protagonist appeared as a character later, but instead it was Brendan, who she clearly remembers being the son of Birch, not the son of Norman.Even now you see them tiptoe around past protagonists entirely, Galar's current champion is completely unnamed and irrelevant but people still idolize Leon enough that in SV, someone in Unova's Blueberry Academy offers to teach you how to emulate Leon's signature ball throwing style under the notion of "a former champion's throw" with zero mention or reverence for who dethroned him.
>>55795961
>>55796040He is also the MC in Pokemon Evolutions, He has practically been represented as the MC in 3 official products, PokemonSpe, Evolutions and Platinum marketing.>>55796159Okey tranny
>>55796261Isn't the male MC canon in literally every game? I don't get why you brought up the subject to argue desu. But they do dance around the MCs, as if to leave it open-ended
>>55796367The only canon protagonist we're aware of is Red. There's definitely others for GameFreak's personal bible of Pokemon's history and events in order to simplify the utilization of callbacks, but we'll never know them because that effectively "de-canonizes" everyone's personal experiences with the games and says "no, your journeys aren't correct, THESE are the only ones that matter."
>>55796367That's practically correct. I believe that Hilda and Juliana are the only female MCs shown as the MCs in official marketing and by-products
>>55796016That's good, the Monster Hunter formula works way better than open world drivel.
>>55796068>Just watch SandLands it looks way better than BDSP.Wonder why.
>>55796417yeah, why?
>>55795967>Why couldn't BDSP have these graphics?it did - in battle
>>55796479Because it's not on a console who's graphical power rivals that of the PS3.
>>55795967Because Masuda wanted it to be a faithful remake, so you got chibishit that was almost 1:1 to the original DS game where everything only looked decent in battles.
>>55795961people in-universe probably think she was kidnapped, raped, and murdered and nobody talks about it because it's really depressing and in poor taste but everyone still has it in the back of their mind because what else could have reasonably happened to a missing little girl
>>55796544Arceus used space-time fuckery to collapse two parallel universes into one so as soon as Dawn got thrown back to the Hisui era, a parallel universe's Dawn woke up in OG Dawn's stead as if nothing ever happened
>>55795967Because they put there A team on legends and all the gen 8 assets went there
>>55796680>wizarding away the tragedy of the storylegends arceus is supposed to be a melancholy game where you have to sit with the concept of falling through time without ever going back, why would you handwave one of the most depressing and thought provoking things about it? "your family will never see you again" is a lot more powerful than "your family doesn't miss you in fact they don't even know you're gone"
>>55796491That's an insult to the PS3.
>>55796417>it really was GameFreak's fault the entire timeTHEABSOLUTESTATE
>>55796881Not really, Crysis 3 runs better on the Switch than on the PS3, probably because the Switch has 8 times more RAM.
>>55796491While the Switch is a poor system, games like BotW / TotK, the Xenoblades, a few ports and others that I’m forgetting run pretty well on it. But I do agree that the combination of a sub-par system combined with a very lazy developer means that all mainline Pokémon games on the Switch have been crap.
>>55795967ILCA were so trash they struggled to remake a 15 year old DS game. And still failed to finish it in time for release. Them trying to make a real game would have made SV's issues look like a paragon of stability.
>>55796730Something like that would be creepy still, at least from Akari's perspective since she would have to accept she'd never see her family again and may fear the worst
>>55796491>Monolith Soft made games>DQ11S>Persona 5 Royal>DBZ Kakarot>ZeldaIt's not the Switch anon, it's Game Freak and likely the fact BDSP had a shorter development cycle than most games, not to mention being foisted upon ILCA who seem to be making much better games now that Bamco are alloting them actual dev time.The Switch is a stinker, but lets not pretend the other devs haven't made a ton of competently made, good looking games for the system. If fucking Skyrim can run on the Switch, BDSP or SV should have nowhere near the level of issues they have.
>>55795967Unity good and never gonna be out of fashion, please understand
>>55795967Legends Arceus looks worse than MK8D
>>55796991TOTK has constant drops to the high 10s and low 20s, specially when you use ultra hand.
>>55796261Buddy he's right:Hilbert according to master/generation is the canon protag yet in evolution it's Hilda, there is no such thing as canon protag except for Red.
>>55796408hilda wins again, hilda #1!!!!
>>55795961Something something multiverse. Not that it matters, they used that Dawn lookalike design because it's associated with Sinnoh.
>>55796261>He is also the MC in Pokemon EvolutionsThat episode took place in diamond's universe anon. If anything, evolutions say that lucas is the MC in diamond.Also, masters didn't implied that Dawn was the MC in Platinum? I'm pretty sure Cynthia made references to platinum in her renegade outfit.
