Jacinthe's battle theme is EXTREMELY overrated. It sounds like it comes from a Youtube funny gaming moments video
>>58537141This is a cold take anon. Jacinthe's encounter theme is much better than her battle theme.
>>58537141I don’t get the hype for Canari or Gwynn.Mega Scolipede is a downgradeIvor’s battle theme is the best battle OST
>>58537180>Ivor's battle theme is the best battle OS-https://youtu.be/R_q48Wh0klM
>>58537141The refrain when the strings come in is much better
>>58537141I think it sucks
Emma's new design is just plain bad. Worse silhouette, dumb looking coat, worse hair, everything about it is a major downgrade from her old design. And her default cat smile looks dumb in every scene. Would've preferred a typical detective trenchcoat over the cropped coat to balance out the design.
>>5853720150% is strictly better
>>58537141all the electrojazz music sounds the same
>>58537460Careful, you'll upset the porn addicts that bought ZA en masse because they saw ass
>>58537141Probably not a hot take here but Z-A has the worst main-line story and none of the characters are interesting in the slightest
>>58537141Jacinthe makes me want to commit a crime. I think I would actually pay money to remove her from my game.
1. Emma does fucking NOTHING to be on the front cover of the game. She doesn't even show up in the final battle with everyone else.2. Jacinthe and Lebanne aren't gay for each other and is a horrible ship overall. Lebanne doesn't even like Jacinthe and is being forced against her will to serve her. Shipping them is like shipping a slave with their master.3. Mega Dragalge has a bad design that looks like it's AI generated.4. Jacinthe is hotter and more memorable with dark skin than light skin.
>Hot takes thread>It's all just shit takes
>>58537460I like her new hairstyle but the cropped detective coat is kinda dumb to be fair. I wish they did a bit more with her than using her as a plot device too, like a meatier sidequest where we help her solve a case relating to her past would've been cool, and a chance to expand on her story. To see how she feels about how her lifes changed.cause as it stands they barely even explain that she has a past. Probably like 75% of the people playing ZA have 0 idea she was a character in XY with her own elaborate story
>looks like it's ai generated the new "it's overdesigned"
>>58537141You'll piss off some from the normie social media circles, but I think it's a cold take. Hers is the weakest of all of ZA's trainer battle themes, but it's not close to being the worst battle track in the game, that would be a tie between the regular Rogue Mega Evolution battle theme and any wild Pokémon battle that isn't a Legendary. I really don't like it when the battle theme and the overworld theme are the same tune arranged differently.>>58537180>Ivor’s battle theme is the best battle OSTI'm more of a Team MZ fan.
>>58538107>I really don't like it when the battle theme and the overworld theme are the same tune arranged differently.You hate 90% of the game's soundtrack then
>>58538076I would pay money to have her remove all her clothes
>>58537141The catching mechanics in Z-A are almost universally more annoying than mainline mechanics. Sneaking is just a matter of waiting for mon to turn around. Catch rates must be REALLY bad if a +3 Canari charm bonus still has common high-level mon escaping a surprise catch with a regular ball. And "encounter" rates for some Z-A mon are fucking awful. I'd rather just mindlessly run around and hit shit with mean look / false swipe / status.
>>58538141If you mean the soundtrack that plays during 90% of the gameplay, yes. It's a shame since most of the boss battle tracks are good. The selection of tracks for overworld Lumiose and the wild zones are handled so horribly in how there is little to no variety.I'll gladly take it over SV's soundtrack. Bad variety AND bad soundtrack all around.
>>58538523Interesting
>>58537966>Shipping them is like shipping a slave with their master.And that's the point of anyone who genuinely ships them. These two are "safe raceplay S&M" fetishization because it's a black massa and a "white" slave, therefore it's kosher because it empowers the black and depowers the white.
>>58537180>I don’t get the hype for Canari or GwynnThey're overdesigned weaboo trash, so it resonates with quite a lot of people in here.
>>58537460I feel you. Emma was one of my favorite characters in Gen 6 because it was one of the first times a character in the series got anything resembling a story/arc and had growth.While I think the new hair and cat smile looks stupid, I think it makes sense that she now likes her hair short after living her youth with unkempt messy hair and is happier with her life. On that same vein, it's kinda stupid how she kept the Expansion Suit since it brought her pain and mental stress back in XY. I guess the intention was that she "outgrew the pain" or she "now controls the suit", but since it is literally never addressed, it's probably not even the case and most likely the reason she wears the suit is just because she wore it in the past.
>>58539806and she obviously watched naruto at some point which is also good character development
>>58539813Oh god, you just reminded me she runs like that.
>>58537141Mega Froslass is extremely overrated. It's not bad, but definitely mid-tier.
Damn, I was just listening to it and I really like it.Honestly, I thought everything in ZA was pretty lame except for the boss battle themes, which were fucking amazing. Pokemon OSTs in general are good but damn I feel like every single boss battle music in this game is at least High Tier.
>>58537141Legends za overall proves that XY just needed to be expanded upon, it’s insane how a game that takes place in one city feels more alive than a whole as game that takes place in a region.And this is coming from someone who enjoys xy as a guilty pleasure.
>>58537141The combat system is a cluster fuck
>>58537988Ash sucks
>>58540030Yes, because Ash is indeed in ZA
>>58539759Gwynn has a pretty normal design outside of the hat desu.
The battle system really needs a way to control your pokemon's distance from the trainer.Use the shoulder buttons L to call them towards you and R to go further away.That extra bit of control make dodging organic. I like protect/detect, but that kind of stuff only truly works 1v1 which actually where I think the battle system could shine if you had a bit more control over your pokemon's positioning.
I benched my starter for him
>>58539886Hottest take in the thread right here
>>58539806She did say she only uses it when she really needs to when we leave the sewer. So they do address it slightly
>>58537460>And her default cat smile looks dumb in every scene.no she looks cute. i just wish she kept her long hair, i hate haircuts so much
>>58539903OP here. That's crazy to me since I pretty much really like all the music in the game just not Jacinthe's battle theme. I even like Jacinthe's encounter theme. I'm just not a fan of her battle theme. My favourite is Zygarde's battle theme and weirdly Canari's has grown on me a lot despite being indifferent to her character
>>58540934NTA but do you like electro swing? I find the genre to be an acquired taste, I don’t like it personally. I like jazz, I like swing, but adding electro/edm to it is very much a hit-or-miss for me, though I get why they used it for a pokemon game. Surprisingly I still enjoyed Jacinthe’s battle theme for the melody(although it can get too repetitive), guitar strumming, the brass playing that gave a kind of “big band” feel at times, and being a departure from usual battle music. I would’ve liked to hear GF drop most of the electro and still manage to make it work for a battle.
Inventory/box management sucks. Like seriously why is all the useful items in the other tab.
>>58537141Hot take. ZA isn't good...
>>58541223Really, why? And why are all the held items in that pocket buried under the evolution and EV items? Where's Free Space?
