Dear /vp/

Are there actually people browsing this board who disliked pic related?

Are there seriously people who enjoy the story in Pokemon games enough to cry about MUH IMMERSION when faced with a tongue-in-cheek reference to videogame mechanics?

Personally, I thought it was quite amusing. Apparently there are people who actually hate it though. Are you one of these people?

I don't get it is it a reference to something?

I saw it, chuckled, and went back to playing.

I understand loving Pokemon. I don't understand taking it so seriously.

Yes, yes, no.

For some reason this is worse than "Man, I'm thirsty", I couldn't tell you why.

It's more of an amusing 'We can't good think of a good excuse to stop you going here, deal with it' type thing. Sort of breaking the fourth wall a bit.

They don't really need a good excuse, I mean the Gen I excuse wasn't good, but they way they did it in BW2 was amusing at least, so I enjoyed it.

It was pretty funny, though I do wish the games were more open. BW2 especially was way too much of a straight line.

I was actually glad that they were sort of honest about it for once.
A lot of RPGs do this shit and I get kind of borded of stupid excuses over and over so this was a nice way to break the trend.

>Pokemon giving you multiple paths
I wouldn't like that one bit.
I like my one path, I'm happy with my one path and I do not like change or the unknown.

I am the bone of my strength
surf is my body and whirlpool is my blood
I have created over a thousand cuts
Unknown to Death, Nor known to Life
Have withstood pain to create many HMs
Yet, those hands will never hold anything
So as I pray, unlimited HM works.

Gen 1 and 3 did let you decide on the order of some gyms though. I do agree that there should be one obvious main path, but being allowed to deviate from it (to a certain degree) doesn't hurt.

Couldn't GF add construction workers and say the gates were under maintenance/repairs?

I never really encountered a blocked-off area in BW2, I knew where to go since the game is constantly prodding you with a stick in the right direction. Why is everyone getting angry at this?

Of course you can't go to an area with higher levelled pokemon until you advance the story. That's common sense.

Are you all new to RPG's?

I'd quite like an avalanche/rock slide or something, block off a route that way (maybe have some Machokes clearing the debris) until later.

I am one of those people.
You probably already have an idea why I thought it was stupid although I guess after doubt, I can see why GF thought it might have been amusing.

I actually remember coming to /vp/ shortly afterwards just hoping someone would bitch about this so I didnt feel alone.
They sure did

Because being given more freedom increases the sense of adventure? I mean, obviously there has to be some railroading, but most RPGs aren't as bad with it as BW2 was. And a lot of RPGs do let you explore high-level areas, you'll just get your ass kicked.

Just look at the way the region is layed out. They changed a lot in BW2 but it was clear they don't give two dicks about "adventure"

They tried modernizing it too much and now the game feels like you're walking across the street to buy some milk, but have to face 8 gym leaders along the way.

I'm sure they've learned their lesson.

I'd like a crime scene with a chalk outline of the victim's body.

Someone from the Police helping a bunch of baby Pokemon cross the road.

A blockade of Slowpoke which only move when they evolve when you get a Slowking to explain to them that they are blocking the road.

I never even knew it was there until I saw people on /vp/ bitching about it. I didn't see any point in going that way.

I'd rather have more meaningful blocks though, only ones that are eventually cleared by the story or you get tools to deal with. Just no fucking HM's.
