I do kind of like the Birbie having that "creepy" blue face painted on it that'd normally act as a way to ward of predators, and it distracts from it just being a small fat bird otherwise. It like almost works here, which is more than can be said for others.

Lairon.

And i like steel snake rayquaza.
Sage also has obviously gen3/4 styling, going just by the shading.

E: also surprisingly inspired ideas, I like the growmeo/tuliet duo. But using the same grow pun twice (grolem) is not good.

The thing about fairy is that enough previous pokemon fit that thematic mold for it to actually make sense.
Which is also the case with Sound if it ever became an actual type.

Now im trying to think of other common themes that can turn into new types.

Azurite art is legit good and they seem to have some good ideas but suffers from there apparently not having been anyone to stop them from throwing in all of their ideas at once. For all the problems Uranium has, it at least seems to mostly build around that one core gimmick/idea of nuclear and then it's just a modifier type. What Azurite should do is something along the lines of... okay, Sound type, let's say they can get that balanced, keep that. Trash Mystic, Cosmic and Light, because all the stuff those do are already 99% covered by other types. Since Crystal type is already designed to just be enhanced forms of fully evolved Pokémon, make it into a thing that the game has instead of mega evolutions. There, now build the Pokédex and gameplay around those core concepts, which by all means can include new regional forms and some alternate evolutions of already existing Pokémon.

With all the poo poo they want to add, balancing it is going to be terrible, and it'll be stuck in development for an eternity, guaranteed.

Ehhh
The art is hit and loads of misses.
The new pokemon in particular.



Also the requisite substitute mon every fangame needs to have for some reason.

Not particularly.
The ability could be tied to lesser statted mon, and the move is essentially giving you the choice of risking the damage or giving your opponent a free turn.

I'm gonna have to be the voice of dissent and say that Daikatuna is a bad name, because even though it is a grade A pun, never in a million years would a real pokemon have a Daikatana reference for a name. It's a little too meme-y even for Gamefreak. Also the design is real bad, which is confusing because a literal Sword Fish is a solid concept and the first two stages were at least passable looking.

What the gently caress did you say about Daikatanas hair

You should play SMTIV Apocalypse. You get to kill God! Actual Abrahamic YHVH too, not some JRPG euphemism. It's okay, he's a real dick.

You get to murder god (and dozens of other deities) on multiple occasions in SMT.
And also Satan.


SMT is good.
Start with 3, also play Avatar Tuner, Go to 4/4A which are apparently real good, though i havent played them-

Actually theyre all real good games, just avoid the older ones (max tedium) and Strange Journey (To go even further beyond max tedium)

And if I remember correctly, you don't get any experience for that fight because your party member refused to eat them. Consistency!

You do get exp/karma.
But not Mantra(i think its mantra?), [e: its Atma] which is the skill path xp.
In fact one of your party members wont even start on that until she becomes fine with eating people.

My favorite allusion tho is Meganada, who is later revealed to be Indrajit.
One of your characters demon form is Indra.

[Ps2 era Atlus was loving killing it. Too bad everything they made became cult hits.]
