Based writers making flawed and interesting allies with some edge to them instead of just boring nice goody-goody people>manipulative loan shark>bougie narcissistic rich bitch>unashamed nazi scientist who took plea deal>hitler youth grown up>self-absorbed asshole
>>58609944Now, if only they could make me give a shit about any of them. Hmm.
>>58609944Oh Brother
>>58609944Corbeau did nothing wrong.he warned urbain/taunie about the loan intrest and they live in a city the you can make 100k in a night thanks to the tournament. That whole situation is on Urbain/Taunie.
>>58609944who the fuck wrote this shit
>>58609944They can't write flawed characters. Did you see what happened with SV? You add the slightest bit of nuance to a story and people start making shit up for plot points they don't understand (time loops don't make sense!!). Anons are already denying that Corbeau is a loan shark in this thread.
>>58609944Facts. I mean just compare them to the XY rivals.>Haha I sure love dancing/completing the Pokedex/having fun with my Pokémon! I do it all the time and literally don't talk about anything else!>Wow [MAIN CHARACTER] you sure are the best! We love being your friend! Yay!I wanted to die every time these insufferable retards were on the screen. Thank god we came a long way since then. Bless the new writers or whatever it is they changed.>>58611027>It's bad because it filters illiterate retardsAnon, that's the best part. Why are you complaining?
>>58609944But all of these minus Mable are boring nice goody-goody people, they just have snark about it.>Corbeau just forces people to do community service under the guise of a vicious loan shark>Jacinthe is, impossibly, a rich bitch who cares about the commons>Griselle and Grisham are what Team Flare "was actually supposed" to be before AZ mindbroke their poor Lysandre, so they're trying to keep his original vision alive by being good altruistic people in spite of Team Flare's reputation>even if their feats are largely offscreen, rival is OBSESSED with helping people to a borderline unhealthy degree
>>58611175I gotta admit, having basic, one dimensional side characters who don't take that much screen-time (relative to ZA) are less annoying to me compared to half-baked, sloppy, infantile attempts at complex characters that we're supposed to take semi-seriously.
>>58609944We got that on SV too and nobody praised it
>>58611209I disagree. I can't stand one-dimensional characters, they always feel like a total waste of time.>>58611231It's literally the one single thing that people praised about SV.
>>58609944>manlet faggot>nigger>cringe whore>nobodies>trannys/thread
>>58611362Wow you said so many slurs anon, you must be a real tough big boy, I bet your classmates in middle school would think you're cool if they saw
>>58611349>one dimensional character>lacks depth and doesn't change throughout the storyThey are one dimensional characters.
>>58612537They are multifaceted complex characters compared to the XY retards.
>>58611175But that's what the characters do in this game too...
>>58612561Not at all. We know a couple of things about the characters, like their family background. Lida barely talks about dancing, Naveen barely talks about sewing, etc. They both talk smack against you and each other regularly.
>>58612583What are you talking about? Every other night Naveen mentions wanting to get back to working on commissions or work on fashion. Lida is shown dancing, practicing dancing, and mentions it very consistently... these aspects of their characters are also important to their backstories, which they bring up as well. >talk smackNo they don't. They regularly refer to you as strong, dependable, and the one who gets things done. They consider you to be more competent than Taunie, and feel bad for you being the workhorse of Team MZ. Taunie glazes you from the moment you step into Lumiose to the moment you beat her in the 45th match in the Infinite Royale. Every character pictured in OP all are obsessed with the protagonist.
>>58612615But they talk about OTHER things too. Naveen talks about Canari a lot. Lida organises and holds all the team meetings. Urbain/Taunie got into the whole debt drama, has his whole family history thing, etc.>No they don'tYes they do. Naveen is mean to you because of your attitude towards Canari, for example. He also calls Urbain/Taunie's cooking an affront to nature or something. Urbain/Taunie teases Naveen by intentionally calling Canari by the wrong name cause they know it gets a rise out of him. Lida often raises a literal eyebrow at what the others are saying. Both make fun of Lida for being gullible. Urbain/Taunie goes against his promise and takes Floette even if you beat them. I could go on forever. Replay XY, seriously. You clearly just forgot how bad it was.
>>58612687Also sorry for using "Urbain/Taunie" and then just keep using "him" anyway, I edited the post later remembering that Taunie exists and then didn't change the rest, my bad.
>>58612687I did replay XY, right before Z-A dropped. That's why I'm so confused as to why the XY friends are cited as one note when the Z-A characters are just as bad. Why is it different when Lida raises an eyebrow at whats being said vs when Trevor shows a similar confusion over Shauna wanting to nickname someone she just met, or when Tierno shows skepticism over the Ghost House? Shauna talks about loving puzzles and trainer PR videos, does that mean she's a better character than you're giving her credit for?
>>58612556Don't care. Still one-dimensional.
>>58609944People only have issues with Urbain/Taunie because of their bullshit.
>>58611362>NiggerHow could you anon, you made Jacinthe cry, apologize to her now
>>58613407>aislopKill yourself
>>58609944>flawed and interestingNot when they're annoying. Audiences hate being annoyed more than they hate the villains. In an unrelated note, Naveen.
>>58611175I have to admit that the naive fool that I am, I thought for a second that the XY rival was going to join with Team Flare to get a megastoneFelt like they were taking their inevitable losses harder than most rivals, and after the 3rd gym nothing had happened in forever, it would be the perfect time to spice up the plot and also give someone else a megastone, because the player having it an no one else (until the final battles) was crazy, right?what a fool I was
>>58611405Of course a faggot like you would use sarcasm
>>58616198Another dollar for the slur jar!
