>>56227993Gen 9 had EVERYTHING to be the best generation yet.
But, the excecution and final product was highly lackluster.
It was one step forward from SwSh but PLA was still above.
Motorzards are dumb but fun, paradox Pokémon should been a transformation instead of Dex Filler and i'll die on the "dream theory" hill. Why so much mystery if the answer would be time travel.
They got reduced to Dollar Store Ultrabeasts.
Also. This game was the last excuse for non-voiced cutscenes at least. It has more cutscenes than SM and the whole dialogue of the group in Area Zero is illegibly fast.
The rival are the best the franchise had to offer, specially Nemona and Arven.
Nemona Is a good excuse for a weaker starter picker but I was expecting her to get her aces when we became champions. I like the idea of how she's pretty much doing a "new game +" because stalker.
Arven has a good story and is basically Lillie and Gladion in one single body.
Disfunctional family of scientists trying to access a different world, friend Pokémon hurt by "unknown creatures", referring to what their progenitors research as "not sure if they're Pokémon or not, and so on.
Penny just exists. She's fine with a deep lecture but mostly a noh-character.
Her Battle Theme is dope though.
It would be better if she didn't appear every 5 seconds after each Star Base Raid, because that would keep AT LEAST FOR ONE SECOND
Cassiopeia's mystery.
Like sure "oh I wonder who's this mysterious person that totally isn't me. Not like i've shown to be a techy person."
So, Nemona #1 Arven #2 Penny #4 in my SV list.
#3 would be the AI profs.
And that's base SV because i'm not playing the DLC, for what i've Heard and seen Ogerpon is a creature of love and the Indigo Disk was hyped as fuck to be disappointing.
