krisslanza posted:The fact they said "~ = Uguu" annoys me. A 'tilde' in the sense of a word shouldn't be a word replacement. If you want her to say "Uguu~" just have her say Uguu~. A tilde is meant to indicate, usually, some kind of inflection or sort. It's a modifier of the way you say something, not a substitute for a word! ARGH! So every time that character has a ~ at the end of their sentence or whatever, it means that it ends with "UguuUguuUguuUguuUguuUguuUguuUguuUguuUguuUguu" off to infinity.

He is mentioned nowhere else in the game and doesn't even show up somewhere in the post game like Kahili does in her hotel. He's there to fill the Dragon-user spot, since Sun and Moon have a character for every type (except Ice for some reason). That said, he still comes straight out of nowhere, yeah. Also I think the tournament idea is very cool and I like the stadium area, but using generics as the forced fights is lame. Having old characters reappear is pretty cool, but you should have someone else than the Gym Leaders. Maybe characters you meet in the story but you don't get to fight, maybe other important named characters that aren't Leaders. I'm not sure how I feel about it being randomized, I guess it's neat for catching you off-guard but I feel the first time at least should have specific opponents, like how you forcefully fight Kukui the first time in Sun and Moon but then you have a bunch of possible random final opponents.

I always thought tildes were used as a way to convey a flirty or a sing-song sort of tone.

I've actually had the same idea for a tournament structure, but that was always in lead up to the E4, and would feature your actual rivals/important NPCs that you directly interacted with or inspired. I don't hate this. I hate the actual implementation but I don't hate this.

Waffleman_ posted:That's literally exactly what the guy is talking about and saying. No, no. The quote you posted is saying since the second half has a tilde at the end, too, it's recursive. It is not a single "uguu", but infinite loops on itself. Uguuuguuuguuuguu. Kurieg posted:Day 100: The anime girl is still cooing at me like a small child.

Blaze Dragon posted:He's there to fill the Dragon-user spot, since Sun and Moon have a character for every type (except Ice for some reason). That said, he still comes straight out of nowhere, yeah. Sun and Moon pretty much had the best version so far of a "random" end game fights. It is also indeed very odd that there's absolutely no intended Ice representative in S/M. Maybe that's because Ice is a pretty pitiful type, defensively and, like Dragon types, mostly don't show up until the latter part of the mid game or in the late game.

Given that he specifically mentions that he's from another region, without naming that region, I'm fairly certain that Ryuki is intended as light foreshadowing of the next generation's region, the way the Strange Souvenir from X and Y foreshadowed Alola (or, more precisely, that the next region would be inspired by Hawaii/Pacific Islands).

So Gen 8 will take place in a region with wandering Dragon Master Rock Stars? I'm on board.

SSNeoman posted:I always thought tildes were used as a way to convey a flirty or a sing-song sort of tone. Like I said, a tilde is a modifier for a word. It's either an elognator, or to indicate a sort of flirty/sing-song tone. It is, in no stretch of reason, meant to be a replacement for a word. That's like saying that they can say that "! actually means ALERT whenever you see it!" or something stupid. It's not a word replacement/substitute, it's a freakin' modifier, ARGH! For all the bad game design, the horrible abuse to language from that single dev comment has annoyed me far more. It wasn't like that particular text box didn't have room to just type out "uguu~".

Arcade Rabbit posted:I'm still really confused why we have two generic trainers here? Could we not just have 4 randomized battles instead, so we can see more of the different trainers? Again, S/M had the Youngster as a possible challenger, but he was one of many and it was randomized. Here, you always have to fight these two losers who don't even have unique sprite before getting to the fights you care about? Well, "care" about, but still. yea it'd be interesting if they were all random. or like their positions were set but you got a different seed in the tournament each run. that'd be a lot of trainers to account for tho I guess

Omnicrom posted:So Gen 8 will take place in a region with wandering Dragon Master Rock Stars? Yeah, I mean the visuals aren't as easily-interpreted as they were with the Strange Souvenir, but I'm guessing Gen 8 (apologies in advance for the self-indulgent theorycrafting) is going back to a Japanese theme (given that "Ryuki" is an unmistakably Japanese name), but instead of dealing with broad regions of the country (the first four gens pretty much covered the whole nation), it's going to be based more on the 23 special wards of Tokyo and New York City's burroughs (this is mostly a guess based on Ryuki being a big-city rock star). This would be really interesting for a number of reasons, and it'll be fun to see how they take the basic idea of the other lovely Pokemon fangame being LPed, Reborn, and do it infinitely better. It also makes some sense, as the Tokyo metropolitan area has the highest population of any metropolitan area in the world, and a quarter of Japan's population lives there. Even outside of Tokyo, there are hundreds of millions of people across the globe who spend all of their everyday lives in closely-connected urban and suburban areas. Adapting that kind of life experience to a Pokemon adventure seems like the sort of thing they've gotta try eventually.

Re: Uguuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu~: Guys, it was a joke. Take it from me, as a guy who's positively steeped in this weeaboo anime poo poo. I barely go a day without seeing some anime person, and I can tell you it's absolutely an elongator. The dev was making a joke that any other weeaboo would get. No fault of you Normal People that you didn't get it, but there's no reason to go banging the war drums just yet.
