>>55308087Memery aside one thing it has that I do appreciate is that it lets the game be brutal towards its monsters, almost as if they're wild animals which is a crazy idea I know. Pals can die, their corpses ragdoll around Dark Souls style, they hunt each other, you can use bear and rope traps to catch them, butcher them and eat them, sometimes they eat each other, there are scavenger type monsters that will swoop down and eat your fainted monsters if you don't rescue them in time. There's a human gang that will actually go around hunting pals and sell them on the black market, and they actually might steal your monsters unlike Team Rocket which are just generic bad guys. There's also a PETA type faction in the game that actually go around and raid your bases because they're an actual radical animal rights group unlike the UTTER joke that was Ghetsis and Lysandre.
It's ridiculous how TPCi will sand down and sterilize the series to an obnoxious degree, so it's refreshing that world filled with powerful fantastical creatures actually feels threatening.
