Were they a mistake?
only because pokemon didnt end after gen 4
>>58716403No.
>>58716403*exists*>makes chuds seethe after 5 generations yeah im thinking they won
>>58716403Making them the definitive creators of the Pokemon universe was a mistake. Makes them dumb that they ever get caught by humans and used for battle, especially when they know how to communicate with humans and predate them by eons. Main legendaries should be powerful, but on a reasonable scale.
>>58716403The way they were conveyed was a mistake. Masuda wanted the truth of their lore to be more ambiguous, and mentioned in his notes that they didn’t actually create the Pokemon universe/weren’t actually the gods of time and space (similar to what he mentioned in the RS soundtrack interview about the Gen 3 weather trio). The most you actually get of that in the final is one line from Cynthia added in to the postgame of the third version, that most players didn’t see, so most players reasonably believe >>58716479 instead. Also their designs are kind of a mistake too. It’s clear they were only supposed to be “a diamond” and “a pearl” and anything people connect to their designs regarding the themes of time and space are completely ancillary/coincidental. By the time their designs were finalized, we know that the devs were still throwing darts at the wall on what they wanted them to represent (Dialga was Light/Sun/Men, Palkia was Time/Moon/Women etc). So they really don’t convey time and space visually either, regardless of the straws grasped.
This is how pokemon should look like
>>58716478I think it would’ve still been popular even if it wasn’t tied to Cynthia. Contrarianism aside, it looks pretty cool.
>>58716478It’s a cool bipedal shark and it’s insanely popular even outside of Sinnoh. It’s not hard to see the appeal.
>>58716492>Latiasthat movie really stuck, huh?
The two jets on its head always looked dumb to me, and the gen 4 games were my first pokemon games as a kid
Yep

What are your thoughts on Pokemon Diamond/Pearl?
>>58714555>>58714566never understood this take. Its music always sounded like "my first MIDI music project" to me.
>>58713113I’m genuinely a fan of them. For starters, I think the map design peaked in Sinnoh. The individual routes are fairly intricate, with alternate paths and off-shoots that warrant multiple visits or otherwise thorough exploration. The region layout is especially phenomenal. The biomes are well distributed, with valleys, meadows and forests in the west, marshes and beaches in the south, snowy tundras in the north and misty mountains at the heart. You explore most of the west for the first 2 badges, then the east for 3 and 4, with the latter game seeing you explore the far reaching corners of the map. This is an highly organic progression path in my opinion. The openness during the second quarter allows you to explore most of the map early on, helping the heart of the region feel more like a hub from which you progessively venture outward as you complete the game. Lopsided though it may be, this suits the comfy slow-burn playstyle that DP are obviously geared towards. Another strong point is the atmosphere. No other Pokémon game really captures the same feel as places like Eterna Forest, Canalave City, Mt Coronet’s peak and the Pokémon league. The whole region has this ancient and mysterious vibe that sets it apart for the better. Only complaint in this regard is that the weaker graphics leave the music to hard-carry this aesthetic, though I think it ultimately works out. Final things worth noting is that these games combine elements from the first 3 generations in a way that makes them feel really fully featured. People complain about the samey encounter tables but I actually like how you have to go out of your way to find the most interesting Pokémon. Makes dex completion feel like a well-earned but easy to keep up with goal to chip away at as you play. Oh yea, and the difficulty of these games hits a sweet spot in my opinion, with a fairly lenient curve that has a few level spikes thrown in to keep you on your toes when it wants.
