@GomiGojiTehPony@Yotakuboi I didn't like this design for years but the older I get the more I respect the wild maximalism of it all. I mean Marche is still much better both in terms of design and writing, but I dunno, I like the sheer audacity of Luso's design.
@tomodacher@Baruc731 I think Pokemon's simplicity is a strength. My nephews love Scarlet and Violet the same way I loved Red and Blue. People don't appreciate how accessible the games are to kids. Older players can enjoy competitive, challenge runs, and rom hacks if they want more of a challenge.
@freakyfart69420@khazarAntlers Disregarding the more subjective issues (I.E. I don't like his design), he doesn't really do anything exciting. Pure water type with a boring ability and a signature move with an effect we've seen countless times. Doesn't really bring anything new to the table.
@PumpkabooJr Every time leaked mons are revealed people cry "WE WERE ROBBED" over the worst designs imaginable. Almost like there's usually a reason some designs didn't make the cut.
