Antivehicular posted:I'm actually kind of okay with the concept of a Pokemon game about the ancient social contract breaking down and Pokemon becoming openly hostile. I'm not sure how you'd keep it from turning into a 1970's animal-attack horror movie, but given the number of exploding power plants, Uranium's one dystopia away from being 1970's Horror Tropes: The Pokemon Game anyway, so why not go whole hog? Now you are making me want a pokemon fan game that is written as if it was a bad b movie.

I thought the Anthell was another badly thought out portmanteau, the antechamber of hell, because that would be just as grimdark as the game seems to want to be when it's not LOLRANDOM.

Anthell instead of Anthill is a stupid pun that barely works, but that's not why I hate it. I hate it because, like half of all the original concepts in this game, it's super cumbersome to say and comes off like no one in production ever tried pronouncing it out loud. "Nowtoch City?", "Bealbeach City?", loving "Burole Town?!" If it wasn't for the all too human attempts at 'humour', I'd assume half the proper nouns in this game were generated by some computer algorithm. They all read like they came from a Fantasy Name Generator, to the point where I'd be wholly unsurprised if it turned out the enemy team leader was called Griznuckle or Prudzahd Rockseeker or something.

I was giving the game the benefit of the doubt by mentioning that something else might have the name Anthell to a huge ant hill, but then I went to the Uranium wiki and quote:Anthell is, rather obviously, a pun on anthill. It has a similar name to a dungeon from the MMORPG Ragnarök Online. motherfuckers

Earlier today, Youtube recommended me a video of a piece of music from an in-development fangame called Project Azurite/Pokemon Azurite. The song was done by the same person that did the Uranium battle themes, so I Googled the game and did some research on it. http://www.projectazurite.com/ There's not one, but FIVE new types, including Sound, Mystic, Light, Cosmic, and Crystal, basically a checklist of fan-demanded types. Crystal is special though, because only fully evolved Pokemon can be Crystal. It's an alternate evolution thing. Crystal has no weaknesses and no resistances/immunities and nothing is immune to or strong against it. That seems incredibly silly to me. It's a type that basically only exists for STAB I guess? They're going all in on the actual Pokemon too. It features new Pokemon, Mega evolutions, alternate evolutions, and new regional formes. They're showing no restraint here with everything they're trying to stuff in. I'd be super impressed if this game actually gets finished and is actually decent. It'd be nice to have a Pokemon fangame that's actually, you know, good. I'll give them this though. Some of their new designs are kind of neat and seem to have been decently thought out? Still, I'm not expecting much. At the very least though, it'll probably be better than Uranium!

They live in the absolute depths of the reason and stay there, making Bounsweet and Steenee do the dirty work outside of their homes. Yup, edgy. Also, that hidden ability is anticipation just rebadged. Or maybe buffed a little by IDing the enemy with those moves. The "All Attacks are Special" ability is... hmm... I don't know what to think. On one hand, it allows you to dump attack in general, but that means it can't break special walls like Blissey and Chansey. As far as fan abilities go, that's... I don't know what to feel. Also, balancing mons based on rarity is a bad move if your game A. has breeding and B. trading (looking at you, special Magikarp with a move that does damage and causes rain). e: though giving Combee a male only evo that's a tank to protect the queen is, admittedly, a neat idea. iospace fucked around with this message at 05:05 on Apr 2, 2017 |

I dislike when fan games add new types. The canon Pokemon type chart is enough of a convoluted mess without introducing more bullshit into the mix. There's a reason they've only introduced a grand total of three new types in the series 20+ year history.

Especially when most of the time, those new types don't fit in or make sense or are strong enough thematically to be a new type. Light? It's arguably already covered by Psychics and Fairies, and if you want a counterpart to Dark, you have Fighting and Fairies. Sound? Moves that utilize sound work fine as Normal type moves. Mystic? Covered by Fairies and Psychics. Cosmic? Eh. I almost want to give this one a pass and say it'd be fine as a new type.

Looking at the Azurite stuff, the designs aren't that bad for some of the originals. Like they don't look blatantly out of place. The balance decisions, however, are horrendous. Let's give a new 'Mon a combo of perish song and mean look... IN ONE MOVE. Why!?
