>>29923515I love the duality where, like, it's this awfully written children's game but somehow neckbeards are gleaning this backstory as if it were anything besides "muh beauty."
That's almost definitely what they were getting at, but it's insane how condensed the dialogue is, yet how often they manage to waste time with slow-pan cutscenes of these snippets of dialogue.
>>29923774>>29923482I think what's scarier is that there are people who can sit in the kindergarten their entire lives and say "this is fine, I'm loving it" in regards to the story. Just because you're dissatisfied-- and it's a well-known fact it'll never change-- doesn't mean you can't discuss it. I'm not expecting Pokemon to ever have passable story, nor do I really care if it would in the future. . . I'm moreso just pumped seeing new Pokemon and raising them, shiny hunting, collecting, legendaries, yadda yadda.
I mean, we've all got our reasons for sticking to the games, but that goes without saying anon.
TL;DR, what irks me about the characters is the fine details and extra characteristic traits that aren't ACTUALLY in the game, aren't ACTUALLY part of the dialogue or story (which is short, as we've said), but people somehow are filling in themselves. As far as characters go, isn't Lusamine one of the most shallow? Even when you narrow it down to villain's narrative?
I don't know a whole lot about character building, writing, or story-telling, but even with the cracks filled in with fiction and personal fantasies of /vp/ users, there just doesn't seem to be anything redeemable past getting off on calling her mommy for some folks.
>>29923852I hope and pray that this is the case, and that it's expanded in the story somehow. Because I fucking love that idea. Somebody was saying something about Nihilego poisoning her/her mind??? Or getting addicted to the toxins or something? Totally works for me.
