She let me hold her at the shelter but she was super sick so I think that had something to do with it :p other than that, she only tolerates it for a second or two and hates it. So in reality she's come a really really long way and I've just respected her hatred of being picked up and only do it in emergencies. I am happy with pets and snuggles. Just crazy how tolerant some cats are of things.

      @Ashamedofmypast 5 років тому +11

      No they were not. Imagine if we had a game with the BOTW engine? Open world, weather system, biomes that effect play, cutting down trees, using shieka slate powers as a basis for HMS, where eating badges allow certain Pokémon to do certain field moves, climbing as rock climb, free form exploration that rewards you with enhanced exploration options. A trainer progression system with perks, stamina, stealth, various throwing styles for pokeballs, Pokémon running hiding and moving with lower hp reducing movement speed/erraticness as well as resistance to capture. Having to camp and feed Pokémon and treat wounds, a portable box that loses reception in dungeons/certain areas, being able to collect 0-12 badges before attempting victory road with navigation options depending on what badge HMs you have. Upgradable bag and gear. Pokémon being weakened, hurt by or straight up not usable in certain areas. Co-op areas where in one version you get a scuba suit and the other a high altitude pilot suit that use O2 tanks and give access to deep dive or high up areas with coop puzzles and dungeons. A companion system and a basic branching dialogue 🌲. Really recapture the sense of wonder and adventure or red and blue. Use blood moons as a way to spawn trail master Pokémon and raids. Imagine setting out get a badge cut a tree to cross a rapid river tree falls kakuna and beedrill horde the player because they ignored the kakuna and hive as decorative. Or using ember and boom the grassy field outside of town is on fire during and after the battle and a firefighter and blastoise appear to put it out. Theres even an armour in botw that is effectively waterfall. Seriously move the assets over, dial back the celshading filter work on outputting more NPC's on screen and rework lighting. Use secret bases as places to create a fob for long excursions. Use a 3 flag system that lets you plant flags in caves that are respawn points and quick travel points to easy up on wasting time for those quick sessions and allow for abruptly stopping play in portable. It'd be hard work but no harder than the current games. That is what I wanted, expected and what I believe is a true example of a home console Pokémon. And I forgot the photo challenges a la botw with a few on rails snap throwbacks like a mine cart of safari ride.

      @@Ashamedofmypast I do agree with you you have you took some great ideas and found ways to work them into the pokemon universe. Though it would most definately be harder and more time consuming from a game design aspect botw was in development for five years as apposed to pokemon which in most cases was only a year or two max. As we've seen with the recent Nintendo Treehouse, they wont be including every pokemon in sword and shield and plan on continuing this trend going further in order to focus on the setting (and free up dev time so that us plebeians can battle with our fake animal friends without having to wait longer slowly triggering a time bomb of ignorance and hate ;) ) adding even a select few of these features would require remaking them from the ground up it's not simple copy paste the pokemon games engine is significantly more simple than botw and could even take longer than five years to build up an engine that could do these ideas and implement them effectively though this is purely from an actual development perspective I do love the ideas you came up with would be pretty dope to see B)

      moopdoog does gaming as long as we get strategic turned battles and lots of pokemon to battle and catch there’s not too much they can do to screw it up. Wild pokemon in the overworld, a great step in the right direction, catching Pokemon like in let’s go, that’s a step in the wrong direction. And although I think megaevolutions are way cooler, the dinamax is way better for the meta and it actually gives way more options unlike megaevolutions.

    I actually do think you’ll be able to walk around the wild area together.
    Now, what will make this good or disappointing, is how you can interact there. Can you battle your friends? Can you trade here? Can you give each other items maybe? Synchronized captures?
