>AT NIGHT, LUMIOSE BECOMES A BATTLE ZONE!>actually it's just a tiny area of Lumiose that becomes a battle zone teehee>CLIMB THE RANKS FROM Z ALL THE WAY TO RANK A!>well actually you skip from Rank V straight to Rank F teeheeThe Z-A Royale is a fucking scam
>>58468623NGL actually having to do the full grind from V to F would've been a fucking nightmare. Murders the pacing.Also if I have to wait until day to do shit around the rest of the city every single time, that's annoying. The current system works.
They should made a battle royale f2p game that is basially the Z-A Royale, running around Lumiose and ganging on other randos would be great
>>58468630should have included ways to skip some ranks but not such a huge jump. Then again pokemon games are constantly dick riding the player for doing basic shit so whatever
>>58468623what was even the point of the battle zone shit anyway>get promotion match notification>go through a bunch of story shit to get to the promotion match person WHO SHOULD BE TRYING TO FIND YOU TOO INSTEAD OF FUCKING JERKING OFF, IT'S THEIR PROMO MATCH TOO>erm sorry you don't have the ticket, go beat up a bunch of goobers for pointsit's so fucking dumb
>>58468955Because people who played Arceus said they wanted more battling, so this was their answer
>>58468623>queso inc notices you solving a major problem for them>immediately scoots you up thr ranking system they made and schmoozes yougee I wonder why they did that.
>>58468623Having finished the game, the big skip is the right decision. Everything from F rank on has more depth to it than the initial ranks. I know it seems bad on the surface, and I didn't feel good about it when I initially saw it happen ingame, but they were 100% right to do it.
>Get battle centric tourney focused game>It's assI wonder when people will come to the realization one-on-one battles being your game's only form of content is a bad thing and not worth a full price of admission for a video game
>>58468630That's only if the premise is that story advancement needs you to be a specific rank. They could've required you only to win 10 ranks and have the rest as postgame
>>58468630yeah, pokemon is about the story
>>58469004That’s already how it goes? You effectively do the skipped 15 ranks in the postgame to finish the postgame story!?
>>58468955to scare away homeless people
>>58469020>effectivelyoh, so not actually
it's pretty funny that 26 ranks is too many for pokefags, you guys don't actually want to play these games at all do you?
>>58468623The only point is to ensure you are overleved for mandatory story fights.
>>58468955watch the purge
>>58469020So you actually go back and fight weaker opponents?
>>58468630They could have made advancing ranks be based on tasks like filling the Pokedex in the previous Legends game.>capture pokemon>defeat wild pokemon>capture alphas>deal super effective hits>or just go directly to other ranked trainersThere, the grind through ranks is now worthy of being called a Legends game and doesn't feel pointless.
>>58469190um, actually the devs were worked very hard and you should appreciate what we got
Remember when No More Heroes 2 had you jump from rank 50 to rank 25?
>>58468630you know you can skip forward to day or night, right?
>>58469190>They could have made advancing ranks be based on tasks like filling the Pokedex in the previous Legends game.Yeah, that's exactly what this shitheap of a game was missing: more tedious busywork to bloat your playtime.
>>58468623>B-but you need to crouch to avoid trainers and get a upper hand>Trainer spots you from a mile away anyway and there is literally nowhere to hideGreat game GameFreak
>>58469958Better than paying $70+$30 and getting 15 hours of gameplay with shit graphics.
>>58468630Thing is, I feel like if the Rogue Mega boss battles also made you jump a rank, it wouldn’t have been such a jarring jump.
>>58468630Sit on a bench
