Kinda weird how gamefreak hasn't taken YET the opportunity to make yet another kanto game as a legends title with how much they love showing up our asses their lame shitmons like my mom's rat or cartoon bird
Finally... Mewzero...
Waiting for an anniversary
>>58562741Kanto is a nothingburger bland region with no "History" or "Lore" or even identity there's nothing to make a legends game out of it
>>58562747mmm, I could see it. I still remember believing what turned out to be mega mewtwo y was definitely, 100% mewthree, so I don't know, I think they could do it.
>>58562741They're probably saving Legends Kanto for Pokemon's 50th (or 51st, just in case they really want to be cheeky) anniversary, but a Kanto revisit in general is always viable.Having literally 50 years of franchise history to help inspire expanding upon Kanto's past (or future, if they decide to pull a LZA) is simply too obvious, and it helps emphasize the monumental nature of the milestone.
>>58562786You really think they're gonna wait til the 2040's? Come on man, they could easily just make another game for it, it doesn't matter.
the only real history we have of kanto is the journals from the pokemon mansion and that lt. surge fought in a war
>>58562794This is the same company who believes all of their Pokemon games must now have DLC because they ran into compatibility bugs with SV DLC since it wasn't originally programmed with DLC in mind and don't want to repeat history.Odds are they genuinely believe if they blow their load of Legends: Kanto before that period, they aren't allowed to revisit the concept ever again, because then the novelty is long gone.>>58562803The war was retconned as of LGPE, Lt. Surge is just a guy of irrelevant ethnicity who likes LARPing as a military man now.You're right about the Mew/Mewtwo mythos, that's probably something they'll touch on in order to finally resolve the notion of "Mew gave birth." since people really love clinging onto the idea that this was a literal shat out from a vagina birth, and there's also the persisting history of Oak's escapades researching Pokemon in his youth, which are still touted as massive, revolutionary affairs that would go on to influence the Pokemon World as a whole.
>>58562755I kind of agree with the point people make where that means they also have the most to explore, like a blank canvas and all that. Now my personal counter argument would mostly be...1. It's such a blank slate for lore you could literally just set it in a new region and not a thing would change.2. The theoretical people who would give a fuck about a kanto game would fucking hate a legends game. Maybe this comes from having a brother in law who's the type of person who wears their "I stopped giving a shit about pokemon after red/blue" badge with the highest honor, but the average genwunner wouldn't give the slightest fuck about giving kanto lore.
>>58562741Kanto has only just has three legendary birds that fucking Galar already did more with than Kanto ever did. What's even left?
The only plausible Kanto lore that they can explore in a Legends game is Oak's youth how he continuously beat down Agatha until she became a bitter old hag. 1960s Tokyo would be a super comfy setting for a Legends game and would bring something new to the table that I don't think the other regions could offer. Kanto's only real lore is character-based since it's a regular Metropolitan city. Focus on Giovanni's early rise to villainy or Silph Co. being establishedOtherwise LGPE was already kind of a Legends game retroactively thanks to Z-A establishing Legends can be fucking whatever and LGPE is a pseudo-sequel to the old Kanto games. Not a good one, mind you, but a sequel
Kalos is honorary Kanto
Pokemon Legends Sevii Islands
>>58562741yeah, Rattata has been in a lot of recent games like uhhhhhh Let's Go? 7 years ago
>>58562741>cartoon birdwhy give Pidgey shit when it's the first one when you could do the same for its less inspired clones?
>>58562755Mewtwo, dude. Just because it's not shoved in your face doesn't mean it's not there. Besides, I kinda miss when legendaries were more rare beings and not gods and shit.
>>58562968That's all the legendaries in gen 9 and people have done nothing but complain like babies or just generally shit on them.Especially the box legendaries, they're literally just regular pokemon from a different period of time compared to the green lizard the lives in the present.
>>58562982Modern Legendaries are too overdesigned. Kids can barely manage to draw shit like Mewtwo or Ho-Oh. Koraidon and Miraidon got way too much shit on them to be iconic. Boxart legendaries forgot a long time ago that simplicity is part of the appeal of Pokemon
>>58562992it started with gen 3 and then 4 completely fucked it for good
>>58562938adding to this, Legends Z-A was the first non-Let's Go in 12 fucking years that Pidgey was in a regional dex
>>58562741you're better off doing a johto legends game and including kanto
>>58562741They're just trying to figure out how best to wank off Red as hard as possible while making your PC not alienate self inserters by being the best thing since sliced bread
>>58562755i think a good premise for a legends game is the creation of the pokemon league with kanto being the first of it's kind as a sort of unity between the kanto and johto region.
>>58562945That's cute though
>>58562992I do agree that since SM the legendaries have been a tad overdesigned
>>58563315Solgaleo and Lunala are fine. Them fusing with Necrozma was overdesigned
