>>48628393Alright I'll start off with this
>You said that it was made to appeal to a wider audienceAnd I still stand by that. Though just because I say this doesn't suddenly mean I think Popular = bad. The design was made to be more cutesy than the original design which makes her come off as less threatening which is especially bad for a first boss. Marketing was taken as a priority over good game design,
>I want your extremely objective opinion about how the old design is "more responsible" and what the hell being "the first gym leader" has anything to do with it.When I say more responsible I mean that the OG design looks like she takes her job in a serious manner and sets the standard for the rest of the gym leaders. The New design also sets a tone but it's wholly different from the Original, It's because of the exaggerated pose but it makes her come off as less serious as a result, Being the first gym leader is actually really important because Roxanne is effectively the first major hurdle for the beginning of the game and she's setting a standard which all the other bosses have to follow. Well now that I think about ORASS Roxanne actually does fit the tone of her game well... It's a joke.
