>is treated like the main character who the story bends over backwards to accommodate not just in the main game, not just in the dlc, but in the made up stories in the author side questwhy is gamefreak so obsessed with cucking me out of the game i paid money for in favour of their shitty OC?
>EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE ABOUT MEEEEEEE Lmao 4chan cucks are such whiny egocentric incels
>>58761056It’s a shittest, they want to see how much they can shit in players face and get away with it. And you retards bought it anyway so game freak won
>>58761056I hate her so much
>>58761056It's okay because she's pure sexo.
>>58761056I love her so much
Here's the thing: if you don't do anything, then there's no story to be told
>>58761102She's a pretty mid Pokegirl
>>58761056I like how she exists solely to fuck everything up. Like all she does is make your life worse and get you into worse problems.
>>58761056I am neutral to her so much
this has been game freak's modus operandi for almost a decade
Who is she? I never saw her in my playthrough.
>>58761056I guess this is how it feels to be a companion to theMC
>>58761236Tits or GTFO
>>58761056Game Freak saw the complaints that SV was bending over backwards to accomodate your PC so they did a 180 and put you in Kieran's place
>>58761160It's okay because she's hot.
>>58761056One of the biggest problems with Gamefreak is their insistent use of a blank slate MC, even more now that the games are being more story-driven. Could you imagine how better the games would be if MCs were their own characters and even show up in future games as supporting characters? If Gamefreak wants to let players make their own character, let them do just that in an Online-only mode, like GTA did.
It hits weird. Like there's this character with a dead mom who has a super rich grandma, who gets chosen by the eternal floette we've had dangled in front of our faces for over a decade and we only get as a pity catch because they're too busy being a CEO to take care of the 1000 year old mcguffin. Why did they get chosen by Floette at all? Like they just barge in after losing and go into the eiffle tower with no say from you. Kieran got blasted and nearly killed everyone for doing the same thing.
>>58761056That's been the case since SM. You are the player character but the story isn't yours.
>you aren't the main character of your lifeToo close to home?
>>58762699>Kieran got blasted and nearly killed everyone for doing the same thing.if they gave us the option to do this after being cucked by taunie za would go from being one of the worst to the best pokemon game of all time
>>58761056As long I'm plapping her cheeks I don't care
>>58761056She is the MC, she has the same model as the player character
>>58764402What cheeks?
>>58761056Better than making the MC some kind of god that everyone worships and magically does everything no one could accomplish before.
>>58764402What other pokegirls are complete bimboes? Rosa? Maybe Dawn?
>>58764533Serena, who's also blonde.
unfortunately a god-tier tummy can only compensate so much for being a huge bitch
>>58764533Whitney
This always with happens with silent self-insert protagonists, and it's why they don't work in JRPGs.You have a pre-defined character, with a pre-defined look, in a pre-defined story, with a pre-defined playstyle with pre-defined cutscenes but he's silent so you can "relate to them" or "decide for yourself what their voice is". This makes no sense.It's just a compromise between an actual character and a character entirely made by the player. In the former you can have a character with a unique personality and interesting interactions or dynamics with other characters (ala Luke fon Fabre from ToA or Joel from TLOU) or you can have a character that is entirely made by the player (like in Fallout or other tabletop-inspired games where you make a character, decide what their stats and skills are, decide what they say in dialogue, and so on).The "silent protagonist" doesn't take advantage of either. You don't have an interesting character who develops or interacts with other characters, and at the same time you don't have the freedom of choice of a character made by the player. In the latter it actually makes sense that the protagonist is silent because the game is literally designed around building dozens, if not hundreds of potential characters, all of whom have tons of potential personalities and who the player ultimately controls in both action and dialogue, one or even several "voices" would have no way of fitting all of them. The "silent protagonist" is neither.
>>58761056We already got our power fantasy MC who gets everything they want and has everyone fall in love with them
>>58764503If the MC isn't important to the story at all, they shouldn't be there
>people get pissed that rivals don't do anything important and can't win>people get pissed that rivals do important things and can wincan't please everyone
>>58765145The ZA MC is crucial to the story though
>>58765049It was kinda awesome desu
>>58765168Taunie doesn't act like a rival until the end of ZA. Up until then she acts like she's you anime best friend character until the scene where she steals Floette and activiates the doomsday weapon.
>>58761065such shit bait that even as first post and 36 posts in you still got 0 replies
>>58765510You replied.
>>58765512>*drools and farts*yes, mole-person, I obviously meant before my reply. anything else only a 6 year old would say that you want to tell us?
>>58765522>drools and fartsYou should probably see a doctor.
>>58761056First time?
This trend of having a character who actually has personal motivations and stakes, but has to fail at the end so that you, the protagonist can save the day, needs to stopFor all intents and purposes, they're the protagonist, but their arc gets cut off or watered down by the blank slate avatar needing a reason to exist
>>58765533lillie was much less obnoxious than taunie imo. lillie is a fleshed out character; its ust that sm/usum are her story and youre a supporting character. za is ostensibly the players story, but taunie (who has fuck all personality outside of being a retard and wanting everything to be about her) keeps trying to warp it around her
>>58765025I really honestly think they were THIS close to making Tawny/Urbain's backstory the player character. From everything down to being close to AZ, the dead mom, everything. I mean the models are literally the same. But they got scared that everyone would hate being unable to self insert 100%. Really thought they'd use newer spin offs to play around with this concept, but they haven't really since pokemon colosseum of all things.
What's the best pokemon game for my dick?
>>58766100Z-A, honestly.
>>58766595
>>58761166Since 1997, actually.That cool looking Samurai you play as? He's not the main character. The real main character is the fox-looking blob on the left.
>>58761056She's overbearing.
>>58761056because shes the new strongest now
A very self centered, selfishly motivated, insecure character. I'm not fond of Taunie, but mostly for how she treats Floette after AZ passes away. In a game that tries to pretend that it's about people and Pokemon living together, the first thing she does is abandon Floette because she won't have time to look after her, only to have enough time in the world to goof off around the hotel anyway. Floette is not present at a single DLC dinner despite her being in my party and her being a staple in most main game dinners. Floette, just because she's a Pokemon, is treated as less of a character over the humans, which makes me feel the whole aspect of the game they're working towards(people and pokemon living together) is a lie. Quasar, under Taunie, will be comically inept in all regards and treat Pokemon - half the creatures the company claims to be serving - frivolously at best.
>>58765852Since the introduction of character customization in Pokémon, the possibility of the character ever having a personality was effectively closed off.If they add a fixed personality... people would complain because that personality doesn't fit the character they created.If they add dialogue choices that affect relationships with other characters and the story... it would be too much work for poor Game Freak.If they remove customization because they want to give the character an identity... people would complain because they want to create their own tranny and gay character.
>(You) are a generic blank puppet>Your NPC equivalent is a fucking disaster of a himbo/bimbo
>>58766100>>58766659Lida is such a better companion than Taunie, it's insane. Should have become the new leader
>>58761056Bump
