>>48065273Sorry for being negative on this thread (of all threads, but it's relevant), but if I can be honest, while I do see some potential in PL:A and am cautiously looking forward to it, for quite some time now I have been thinking that, I really wouldn't mind if GF dropped game development (for Pokémon at least) and instead made ArtBooks to present the new generations (since one of the excuses for the fast development cycle is that they have to provide new Pokémon every so often for anime and merchandise purposes):
>Have the first double page be the map of the region;>The next few pages showcase all the cities;>Then the protagonists;>Rival(s);>Professor;Then we pause the human characters a little and have the next page show the PokéDex design, then show the full Dex excluding the Legendaries and Mythicals.
After that, back to some more humans:
>GYM Leaders, with infos such as their team, their Ace, where their GYM is, etc;>Other important characters (with the same info as before -when applicable- and the reason they are important);>The average trainer classes, Lass, Ranger, Ace, etc;>Evil Team (in case they want to keep going with it, even in ArtBook format, although Gen8 didn't have one);>Lastly, the Legendaries and Mythicals.After all the "info pages", have some more pages with the protagonists and their Pokémon interacting with the world, traversing routes, exploring caves, battling, facing the evil team, meeting the Legendaries, etc, etc, etc.
I really like pic related, and would seriously buy an ArtBook full of such images.
What do you guys think of this idea? Would you buy such ArtBook?
Also sorry for the long post.
