>>57472341Man, Gen 5 had some really good shit.
Whatever happened to that style of writing anyways?
I wouldn't say it went downhill with XY, Looker post-game was pretty good.
But a lot of it was really going to shit with USUM, and then we got the crapfest story that was Sword/Shield...
But yeah, I can only hope that what you posted ends up what they actually go with, and that the DLC plot was, as you said, mishandled, because man it was such shit.
Also it made the point that "oh-so-special I shit my pants pokemon like Terapagos" can just randomly burst out of stuff like masterballs (I guess the lore they set up around that starting all the way back with gen 1 amounts to fuckall now) and all sorts of other dumbshit. You should look through the archives sometime for all the memes about Kieran being a cuck. I swear his entire character was just some devs thinly veiled fetish.
As for XY characters, I'm really fucking wary about what they end up doing with AZ lmao. It was funny seeing him stuck in a cage going through X when I played it though. Also lysandre. If you played Y, the dude is fucking dead. But if you played X? Wouldn't he just be like AZ? Is he going to be a surprise villain to pop out of the ground or some shit from under all that rubble?
Also they need to bring back Looker. Seriously.
But yeah, that afaik the only returning character confirmed so far is AZ is grim to say the least.
>But since Gen V thanks to Burnet, there's been little hints towards the idea that all dreams are real and anything pulled from them can exist in the main continuity. So imagination theory isn't completely incorrectThey really missed the chance to expand on that in PLA and BDSP with Cressilia and Darkrai. Darkrai was entirely a timed event mon in BDSP, and a save data extra in PLA. The perfect mons to build up lore around dream stuff and they do fuckall with it.
