Why would an ambulance be leaving the hospital?
I just started watching Journeys and when I realised Pikachu evolved because he loved Kangaskhan so much I got emotional.

I still kinda think the VA quality dents the cartoon a bit. The acting is not super. I'd change the language and read subs but for some reason Netflix doesn't offer Japanese as an option.

e: what a bad snipe. My copy hasn't arrived yet. Amazon are being slow. I am going nuts.

do all pokemon outside of legendaries have similar lifespans? do you think a bulbasaur lives a lot longer if you don't ever evolve it? where's all this info.

Jesus this game needed another year of development and optimization at minimum. Put it back, it’s not done.

Game is janky and ugly as hell sometimes but I was enjoying myself playing it regardless last night. Me and my boyfriend are doing type ace runs that we randomly selected. I got Normal and he got Electric so it'll be fun to trade around pokemon we need from each other. It's my favorite way to play the games now since it adds a small layer of challenge and makes me use pokemon I'd normally not. Already feasting for Normal type options early on.

The jank hasn't been to terrible for me so far. I played a couple hours last night and will probably binge through most of the game today.

Framerate can slow to a crawl, the camera gets stuck when in small spaces, but the big offender I've noticed is clipping.

But for all it's faults, SV is just way more charming then SwSh ever thought of being. It has so much personality and that's reflected in the actual animations (limited as they can be), and the abundance of flavor text for everything.

Don't worry, the jank is just graphical. So far the gameplay is some of the most streamlined and satisfying in the whole series. I haven't had time to play much but there are so many nice quality of life improvements. If background characters are sometimes 5 fps, that's more funny than game breaking.

Not being able to turn off animations or choose 'set' battle style is bizarre but the animations are quick in general.

The graphics and framerate are jank but also I’ve been motivated to run around and catch everything in the starting area and I haven’t even gotten to the school yet.

That’s uh. Not how I normally play Pokémon.

Yep. There are a lot of accessories but lmao that they decided to cut back on outfits this much.

The stupid jersey you got forced into during gyms in SwSh was an omen apparently.

I like the Route 1 spread of pokemon but for gently caress's sake, my radar says there's Diglett nearby but I can't fuckin find any. I want a Diglett. I need a Diglett.

Diglett is in a cave you go to as a forced part of the story, don't look too hard for it before then

There was one in that cave where you meet your dragon bike, but I killed it by accident and couldn't find another.

I saw exactly one non-Houndour/Houndoom pokemon in the whole cave and it wasn't a diglett. I'm guessing you can go back when your dragon bike becomes an actual bike?

Have there been many non-graphical bugs? It's got a janky aesthetic but it plays just fine. (For me, so far.)

Whichever version has pants you're okay with.

I think the bike that runs on all fours is fun, but I can't stand the colors associated with it.

I only played it for 15 minutes this morning (just before the first catching tutorial) and I felt the same way. It was a sense of "awe" that I have not felt in a game in a long time. Hope the game continues to not be a buggy dumpster fire for me.

You can fling yourself down darn near any cliff by walking at it near parallel from the edge. I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to be able to do lethal-and-then-some high jumps. This of course also comes with a visual bug where the character suddenly lwsge hangs off of nothing about a foot off the ground for a moment.

They are hanging on to their phone. The game says it saves you from falls.

The amount of jank is... yeah, it's bad.

Doesn't matter how charming a game is imo, you shouldn't be allowed to release a $60 game like this. Especially if you're a multi-billion $ company.
