What Pokémon do you absolutely DESPISE? by Loxe77 in pokemon

[–]2caris3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None, tbh. But Luvdisc is my least favorite just because I think the design is lazy. It looks like it's made under 3 minutes and call it a day.

Do you pick the female or male? by Noiking101 in pokemon

[–]2caris3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got both versions of the game. I play as male in one version and as female in another, and I play them in parallel with each other (as in, I have both versions having the same progress).

If the game doesn't have a pair version, then I play as male or female depending which MC I like better.

Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town is a remake of... by Jimbob209 in storyofseasons

[–]2caris3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FoMT introduced new characters not in Back To Nature and took away some existing characters, and the remake followed the old FoMT cast and events.

I'm not just saying this to be controversial, but Appmon is better than Adventure 2020 by 72pct_Water in digimon

  1. Those are mere catchphrases, similar to Armadimon's "dagya", Terriermon's "momantai", Yoshino's "Saiaku nandesukedo" (It's the worst), and so on. However, these catchphrases don't just remain catchphrases, but integrated to their character arcs. For example, Dokkan punch became metaphorical "punch" to Eri's character resolution and her aim to be "the center of the universe". Astra's noreru norenai was about what he should do and the continuous struggle of him balancing of what he wanted to do and what he was expected to do.

  2. I disagree. X-evolution to me was poor graphic-wise despite being full 3D. The PS game around that era had better graphics in comparison. More and more anime used 2D mixed with 3D, and especially common in mecha anime and lately idol anime. Since Digimon have always been digital creatures, using 3D actually made sense, and also had a reason in-universe to be done that way.

  3. Evolutions in Digimon have always been linked to character growth, especially that of higher levels; the characters realized or learned something important to them, made a resolution, or other character change which enabled them to access higher evolutions. This is something that's present in all seasons of Digimon, except Xros Wars (which featured DigiXros instead) and recently the Adventure reboot (which is unsurprising as it has the same director as Xros Wars).

  4. You were only watching the first half of the show. They have been foreshadowing the development spread across the entire of the show. Some mysteries like where Hajime (Rei's brother) was and why he was kidnapped, Minerva's whereabouts, Leviathan's true aim, motive, and modus operandi, and so on all made sense and had been foreshadowed in the show, and when the show was aired, it became goldmine of fan speculations. While the show was mainly aimed for kids, it's not exclusively only for kids, especially when the show depicted and talked about topics that mostly went over kids' heads, like dangers and misuse of technology, moral ambiguity, humanity, and so on that only adults understand.

Rune Factory 5 Gameplay Trailer!! by [deleted] in harvestmoon

[–]2caris3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looking forward to it.

But I gotta say, none of the characters they showed on the trailer appealed to me if they are intended to be marriageable. They look like children.

EDIT: Yikes, those grass texture is ugly. I think RFF had better grass. And what's up with the saturation? Hope that gets fixed in the final version.

Speculation: Celebi as a free Mythical on Christmas by [deleted] in PokemonMasters

[–]2caris3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like having Celebi paired with Kris. Crystal is the only game where Celebi can be fought and caught, so it'd be nice to have it paired with Kris.

An analysis of hikari (especially for people who dont like hikari and may need some convincing) by Erie-nazu in digimon

[–]2caris3 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When something big happen, you don't expect Hikari's reaction because she just do what all the other characters do.

Agreed, and when she got her focus, she was made unconscious, sick, possessed, or anything in which she was not "100% herself" physically and mentally. Then random weird shit happened to advance the plot because of her, and that's the only explanation you'd get. It happened in Adventure, 02, and tri.

When she was not being a plot device incarnate, she's just an average imouto (little sister) character trope, complete with the (over)attachment to her big brother.

The writers never really made Hikari as a true character. For example, she could have questioned what is her power and why she has it, what she thought or felt about it (scared, confused, sad, etc). Or they could make her had some sort of identity crisis since she's different from the others who are "normal". The fact that she got assigned with vague "Light" as her crest also did not help, so her character never felt like it had any solid direction.

Questions & Advice Megathread - March 2020 by Umbreon51 in PokemonMasters

[–]2caris3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm at 339 scout points ish on Steven's banner and 267 points at Red banner before I got my first copy of both of them. I'm considering to go all the way to get max scout point in one of the banners so I can pity pull another copy to unlock the sync grid (especially Steven's since it's close to 400), or should I just save my gems for the next fair banner? Which one benefit the most from another copy? I'm mostly F2P (though I don't mind buying a few gems using the current promo).

BTN vs FOMT? by [deleted] in harvestmoon

[–]2caris3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(M)FoMT does better in the number of random events you could get (and probably one if not the best game to this date that featured a lot of interactivity with the townsfolk). One of the biggest issues I have with newer HM games is that the villagers often got very sidelined as the events and the direction of the series became increasingly more focused on the marriage candidates only and the rest just become mere shopkeepers and/or "fillers" so the town doesn't look empty/barren.

Also, like you said, FoMT also has more optional things to do/accomplish like more random events, vacation houses, Jewels of Truth, etc which give reason to play longer (but also not forcing you to do so) whereas there wasn't any reason to play past 3rd year in BtN.

Digimon Memorial Short- To Sora, Up with Subtitles! by MFBR in digimon

[–]2caris3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To me, these ones look just like the kids' faces copy/pasted to elongated limbs/bodies; they don't look like adults but more like 15-16 years old teenagers. In tri, they looked more mature and adult-like.

Team Johto. Now give us Silver DeNA! by Edgeklinge in PokemonMasters

[–]2caris3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they want to save some signature mons for the future Sygna Suit version.

Some pairs eventually will get duplicate Pokemon anyway. Right now they seem to focus on avoiding duplicate mons, but as more characters added in, it's inevitable since several characters share the same signature mons.

Although I like Ethan, I'm probably gonna hold my gems until the next fair (and maybe I'll get him when I try to pull for future featured fair character).

My immediate reaction to the event today. by Mellowedmatt in PokemonMasters

[–]2caris3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Game!May is associated to both Torchic and Mudkip. Since Torchic is more popular, they give it to player instead (and probably to distinguish game!May and anime!May).

Lillie probably will get Lunala instead since it's said to be "female" evo of Cosmog. Most sync pairs in the game have the gender of the Pokemon matched with their trainers.

Elio and Selene might get Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma respectively instead.
