>>54344033The aesthetic of the first layer in MiA is also nearly identical to the upper "layers" of Area Zero too. The topography, the waterwalls, the vegetation, the strange lighting with the godrays etc. It's too similar to be a coincidence.
>>54344059I'm sure some writers at GF would like to do something like that, but it would cause such a huge uproar of pissed of parents and whatnot that they could never do that without having to change their entire branding. Pokémon is marketed towards children and will never be for adult audiences.
Not really about having the balls, just about not doing dumb shit to your own brand that you've established for several decades.
I know, it's easy to forget since GF is such a small little indie studio after all...
