>there are people here on /vp/ RIGHT NOW who hate this

Pokemon is becoming more like a standard Japanese rpg (Better Story, Variant monster forms, Limit Break attacks, etc) and I love it.

I think it's great but yes there probably are some people here who don't like it, you know different tastes and all.

The lore makes it god tier in my book

Could be great. Could be terrible. XY were also supposed to be more story-focused, and look how they turned out.

Also,
> I played for more than two hours and was still essentially in tutorial mode
Depending on what the writer actually meant, this could imply that we're getting XY-tier handholding, which would make me drop this before you can say "you still have business with Korrina."

Or maybe it just means that the early game lasts longer. That would be fine. The early game has a certain something to it that I like.

I hope this means Absorption will be a JRPG super boss

I loved it in Colosseum and Gale of Darkness, so I think I'll love it here.

XY was just the opening scene to set the stage for this new story.

>>29144496
The story wasn't part of XY's problems.

The little bit of lore behind this thing is cool and it's a nice design, but its evo is fucking ugly

>>29144496
XYs early story was great until you quickly left your incompetent friends in the dust and everything became rushed

Only took them 20 years, but so be it. I won't complain about improvement.

>>29144496
One of the reviewers said that the tutorials themselves actually take less time. its just you can't leave the town until some story events are finished.

XY story is good but its told horribly.
