And remember, kids. Hard work doesn't matter. Influence and contacts will get you anywhere in this world.
>>59256977Why do the work if easier alternatives exist
>>59256977>Hard work doesn't matter. Influence and contacts will get you anywhere in this world.This is sadly true.And I am extremely blunt and socially awkward so I cannot network properly.
>>59256977That is literally true, a horrible truth of this world influence and contacts beat talent and hard work
>>59256977This was when the game dropped from a 7/10 to a 5/10 for me
>>59257298It's incredible how the entire premise of the game right down to the title revolves around this premise and they just skip past half of it as if they realized it would be too boring to see through to completion.
>>59257298I feel like if they didn't want to make the player grind for every single letter, they could have tied them to various minor missions
>>59256977Where’s the lie
>>59256977>game freak knew ZA was such an unplayable dog shit, the knew the only way people would get to the end if half the game was erasedhumilation ritual
>>59256977Wanna know the worst part? You skip 15 spots, and there are 15 Rogue Mega Evolutions. It could’ve been worked into so easily it’s kinda baffling they didn’t think of it. I blame that lousy jacket arc that lets you get Floette.
>>59257308If they didn't want to grind through 26 letters then just go with numbered ranks. If it's intended to actually be rank Z-A, then they have no ground to stand on why that's not the case. All they had to do was pitch a different idea while it was still in its concept phase.
>>59257308Yeah, I was expecting the formula to change over time as your climbed the ranks. Like, they would start giving you a criteria to win battles for some of the letters, or they would rank you up as you helped expand the PokeDex or do stuff for major characters or helped around town. For them to just drop it and go, "LOL IT'S ACTUALLY JUST EIGHT GYM BADGES BUT WORSE" is so disappointing.
>>59256977You do know that's true, right? It's not what you know, it's who you know. That's the main reason you go to school; to make connections.
>>59256977They could have just started new trainers at a higher letter grade than Z so progression would have been natural.>>59257315The humiliation ritual is when they skip over half of the game because fuck you, player!
>>59256977what is she looking at
>>59257633So basically anyone who has autism and is socially awkward is shit out of luck
>>59256977It's true though. Even real life is ruled by RNG
>>59256977>P, O, K, M, and N all skippedLMMFFAAOOOOOOOO dead franchise theory
I don't get why autist think this is such a big deal. It still has more "gym fights" than normal games.
>>59256977Where's the lie? But don't pretend like this is a new thing. Being born into privilege and status has been a cheat code since the beginning of civilization.
I thought this plot point was gonna be a moral lesson about being given a promotion without equal merit being bad, but it turns out the zoning corporation are the good guys along with the loan sharks
>>59256977This was kinda pointless since you already have enough battles to fill out the royale anyways. Like besides minor battles with gwynn and tarragon, they easily could have gone "beating rogue megas also bumps your rank!"That easily fills all the ranks you skipped.
>>59257759Not really. If you had a good father and okish family background you could be the most asocial guy out there and still land a decent job. Also being attractive helps. If you don't have at least this, you would be playing life on nightmare mode.
>>59257749>shelook at the hat and look closer at the face
My problem with the game is Urbain. He's a giant loser, gets into yakuza debt, wastes 100k on a phone video, has to be bailed out constantly, forces you to follow his shitty plans, never apologises for being a fuck up and isn't even cute. I just want to hang with Lida and eat her ass. Even Naveen is pretty.Are we supposed to hate Urbain?
>>59256977>Influence and contacts will get you anywhere in this world.That's how it actually is though
>>59258115I liked Taunie/Urbain. When's the last time your main rival hasn't been a sycophant?
>>59258163Instead of a sycophant they are insufferably retarded
>>59258048>"So basically anyone who has autism and is socially awkward is shit out of luck?">no, you just need [series of requirements that are determined at conception and nobody can ever change]
>>59258163Technically Nemona, if you only focus on the part where she's essentially grooming you to be a decent fight.
>>59257315Damn brown child....
>>59256977>lol it would be ridiculously grindy, you wouldn't want that>dlc comes out>oh it's just a 40 hours grind what do you want everything handed to you???
>>59258163I'd love an antagonistic rival rather than a brain dead faggot rival
