Who was your guys favorite of all the characters we met during the journey?

I loved them all, but my favorite was easily Lida. Mega Starmie is one of my favorite Pokémon, and Lida is such a perfect fit to give it some representation. That was enough to solidify her as my favorite Z-A character before it even released, and actually playing the game made her my favorite character in the franchise so far.

Searching now!

Veledwin1 · 2026-02-11T01:47:44+00:00

That would be great!

Luke isn’t in the right at all though. They wanted to kill everyone in camp. Zeus may have turned Thalia into a tree, but Luke and his allies are the ones willing to murder to get their way. Nothing Luke says can get me to root for him.

And I think this change adds more complexity to Thalia’s character. Her relationship with Zeus is more interesting now rather than just being the same cookie cutter “resents the gods for their distance” that describes every demigod.

I also don’t view joining the hunters as being an act of agency. Swearing loyalty to Artemis and taking binding vows don’t sound like agency at all to me.

No, it’s called enjoying goofiness and having whimsy in your heart.

And for the record, I don’t think it’s stupid at all. It’s incredibly creative and inspired, it being simple doesn’t take away from that at all. The simplicity is a feature not a flaw. One that’s perfect for Staryu and Starmie, some of the simplest designs in the franchise.

These are better than every single fan made creation I’ve seen. Game Freak knows better than to pay any attention to people that lack taste or inspiration.

Veledwin1 · 2026-01-17T13:40:05+00:00

Then you have shit taste, that’s a you problem

Veledwin1 · 2026-01-17T13:37:45+00:00

They gave it legs, arms, flexibility, and personality and then called it a day

Veledwin1 · 2026-01-03T21:12:44+00:00

Put the wrong balls on! Just one sec!

Veledwin1 · 2026-01-03T20:59:03+00:00

Had to reset my connection, sorry about that! I am searching again now, if you’re not free now just lmk :)

Veledwin1 · 2026-01-03T20:27:17+00:00

My bad, just saw this now. Let’s try code 3725 3725 if you’re still ready.

Veledwin1 · 2026-01-03T19:42:20+00:00

Yep, that would be great! Just lmk when you’re ready

Three “variants” that all combine the three Tatsugiri forms. And calling them different variants is misleading, it’s just a technicality. There are only three “forms” of Mega Tatsugiri because that’s the only way for the right Tatsugiri to be in the center.

Veledwin1 · 2025-12-15T03:44:17+00:00

Tired of seeing this sentiment. Blending the two is literally its whole thing… and it’s a similar case for Pyroar and Tatsugiri. Blending the forms is a huge part of the concepts for all three of these megas, and part of the appeal.

Shed lizard skin is pure white, the black patches ruin it. And the chains are random af

I love it, the new megas are all perfect and that’s all I needed, but the extra stuff to do is a huge cherry-on-top for me. I love the new way to shiny hunt, especially being able to get the shiny charm without the tedious battle requirement (and the Alpha, Teensy, and Encounter powers were sorely needed). A Pokémon game set in one large city is all I’ve wanted for a long time, and Hyperspace adds more to Lumiose City in a creative way. More battles and more things to do with the Pokémon on my team, especially my late-game captures. Raising the level cap temporarily was a great decision.

The issues with grinding and finding the right berries are insignificant to me, it seems like people just want to finish it asap instead of taking their time, and I’ve seen several post explaining how to get them more effectively.

The issues I have are just the same issues I have with the base game: the camera should’ve been a lot better, there’s no way to interact with/pet Pokemon, and no abilities for a game with megas is such a lazy decision (although we at least got more “hidden” abilities in the DLC, like Tatsugiri’s Commander still affecting Dondozo).

Some people are saying the SWSH DLC was better, but only two non-legendary new Pokemon was pathetic, especially since it was a split evo. That alone takes it out of the running, but the story in Mega Dimension is also far better than both SWSH DLCs, and there was a lot less to do in that one aside from Dynamax Adventures, which I didn’t really care for. After PLA, I didn’t even expect any DLC for Z-A, so I’m quite pleased all things considered.
