XY still doesn't feel like a "real" Pokemon game in my memories. It's more like a very bad fangame for iOS.

But then, Gen4 was nearly as forgettable. I dare anyone to try to name all of the Sinnoh Gym Leaders, E4, and their types without looking it up.

The writing in XY and ORAS was fucking clunky and weird as hell. It almost felt like someone was simulating what they thought actual conversation was like, but just never understood social skills.

Like.. what the literal fuck WAS the point of that? You went to a haunted house with your forced, tacked on "friends", only to discover some old faggot who told a retarded story. The closest thing I can think of was an attempt at humor, but.. it failed.

Its just so strange to me.

Have you played Gen 5 recently?

The reason the new games have such shitty writing is they changed the translation team after Platinum. HGSS would have been really bad, too, if not for the fact that most of the script was just imported from GSC.

There might be some weight to this.

In ORAS the pre-E4 Wally scene, the ghost in Phoebe's room, the credits sequence with your used pokemon and the Deoxys intro really felt like they were intended to have a lasting impact.

Also half the NPCs hitting on you regardless of gender.

Masuda did mention wanting to expand upon "romance" in later games. Not too far fetched to assume GF would think 2D "friends" are actually what their consumer base wants.

I think it's a little bit of this >>22215881, a little bit of the satire on tourism littered through Kalos, and a little bit of tension building. It's almost identical to the mysterious stone Tierno gives to you in terms of discovery-reveal, but the act itself sets some kind of mood for the next section, in the house's case, the odd and slightly unnerving fairy tale town.

Have you guys played modern JRPGs? It's not just Pokémon - a lot of games nowadays devote a large part of the script to character interactions (see: press X to view party chat-type stuff, and such). Pokémon's just following the trend, that's all.

It's supposed to be less "friend simulator" and more "selling characters (heroines)". But Pokémon is an all-ages mainstream game instead of otaku shit like most JRPGs, so they toned it down to the weird shit we see in XY/ORAS.
