So with Rotomdex talking / communicating with you, as well as Totem Pokemon being a pretty major aspect of the game from what we can tell so far, do you think talking Pokemon beyond Rotomdex will be a thing in Sun and Moon?
Nah prob just a coincidence famfetch'd

i think the real question is
will Rotomdex ever be able to battle
For fuck's sake OP!
All you have to do is open the image in paint and remove the watermark, or just post a different picture
It's not that difficult

Chill ur bean sweetheart lmao
Re OP, I think we won't see it beyond this, but there'll be something like it in future games. One "Dexmon" a gen or something.
It puts me in mind of that damn Whisper thing from Yokai Watch. I don't dislike it but clearly GF want to do the whole "Talking Companion" thing.

Hopefully rotom dex is just a tutorial that you can turn off/skip

>Hey trainer did you know you can press start to open the menu
>Hey Trainer pokecenters can heal your pokemon
>Hey trainer heres where to go next
>Hey trainer I hope you haven't gotten lost
This thing is going to be worse than Omochoa in Sonic Adventure 2. They literally created it so you'd have something to hold your hand through the entire game

Didn't Arceus talk to the player after beating/catching Darkrai in that event they did in Platinum years ago?
>>27858549
At least in SA2 you can hit Omochao or take it and throw it to a bottomless pit.
>>27858729
I mean, that strange voice pitying Dark had to came from somewhere.
>>27858549
At least you could shoot Omochao or throw it off a cliff.
I actually preferred the Teachy TV idea in FRLG. "Don't know what to do? RTFM."

>Hey trainer ! you should stop playing every 2 hours to ease your eyes !

>Hey trainer ! Your battery is low !
>HEY! Listen!
I'm going back and replaying OoT and while, as a kid, I thought Navi was annoying as fuck, as an adult I actually like the little tips.
If Rotom Dex is done WELL, it enables them to open the game world way the hell up, for a much larger degree of exploration, without Dancing Kids Railroading and the like, since the dex is always there to tell you where you're SUPPOSED to be going.
As a developer you never want the player to be unclear on what his goal is, but it can be challenging to achieve that while still allowing him to disregard it. Rotom dex is a nice in-world explanation for a gentle nagging "the narrative is this way!" voice that, in all honesty, will probably be LESS intrusive than "well you can't surf until you have the Marshfart badge, Just Fucking Because"
>>27858500
I don't like that idea.
