>>53341660I love these guys, they actually feel legendary and mysterious.
However, their presentation is fucking trash. It was clearly super rushed.
First of all, finding the stakes is fucking boring. You either look in every nook and cranny and probably still miss some, which is incredibly boring and frustrating to do. Or you look up a guide which is also simply boring. They should give you SOME sort of help to find them. In PLA, the Spiritomb wisps were at least very much visible at night from far away.
Pulling the stakes has the laziest fucking animation imaginable. The screen literally just fades to black and the text says that the stake crumbled away. Could they seriously not make an animation where the stake floats into the air and vanishes into some particle effect? That unironically takes 30 minutes to make. Trust me, I've worked on games. Embarrassingly lazy.
Similar story when you free them. The screen fades to black and suddenly the seal is open. And the Pokemon don't even jump out of their prison or anything, they are suddenly just standing there.
It's such a shame cause their lore is so fucking cool and they look sick. The presentation is so lackluster that I rather would've had them as DLC content. They deserve so much more.
