>>56480274I really like them. Chien-Pao is one of the coolest mons ever.
The implementation was really sloppy though. The backstory was cool, but barely there. And the non-existent animations for removing the stakes are fucking embarrassing. The screen just fades to black and the text says thay the stake crumbled or whatever. Fucking ridiculous. It literally would've taken an hour or something to implement a simple animation with a fancy particle effect or something.
The lazyness makes it seems like they were just an afterthought. It's a real shame, they deserved better.
