It feels like Pokemon is willing to introduce the most vapid, stale characters imaginable, all with the expectation that they're going to be beloved and sell the game. Their character designs are getting increasingly cluttered, with tons of patterns on their clothing and different colors in their hair and facial hair, and they're often introduced with quirky traits that are discussed more than they are seen, I.E. Leon's habit of getting lost.

>Irida
>Laventon
>Arezu
How is it that these characters have more than twenty times the amount of dialogue than, say, Giovanni, Professor Oak, Sabrina, or Clair, and yet hardly make an impression? I really think SwSh and PLA have managed to introduce the worst characters in the entire franchise.

I’m liking their focus on characters and glad this is what they’re going for.

I’d rather them look over designed than some evil man in a suit. Makes them more memorable

So how do I complete a dex entry? I’m not understanding what the requirements are.

you unironically have nostalgia goggles on

all pokemon characters are fucking nothing user it's not any different from before

level 10 dex entry

They are literally filler until the day you can use poke balls to catch NPCs.

Characters in modern Pokemon are wordy roadblocks. Characters in classic Pokemon are usually only for fights and have about four lines of flavor text. I wouldn't mind if the dialogue wasn't mind numbing shit, but there have been no interesting exchanges in PLA and I'm 20 hours in.

Humans can't shrink

All of those have had literal decades of media to pad up those characters' senses of """depth.""" I literally can't remember anything about Sabrina from the games other than her being some ESP wizard person nor anything about Clair other than her being an arrogant bitch

Ew

literally who cares. makes great porn. clair and sabrina are old and ugly. new pokegirls are sexy as fuck.

Sinnoh marked when the series stopped giving a shit about dialogue. Just compare R/S to D/P and it's easy to see.

I'd rather the characters stop fucking bothering me and let me play rather than bore me with hours of plain dialogue. I'll take "You better have BURN HEAL!" over a two minute scene talking about fucking potato mochi.

so jerking off is more fun than the games. Why play then? r34 of Arezu is free and you won't get stuck in unskippable dialogue scenes before you can stroke your dick.

Soulless games produce soullesy characters.

Based

They don't care, now.

That's how it was with ShSw as well.

I don’t think it’s hours of dialogue you adhd zoomtard

you just need to do enough stuff for the dex entry to reach level 20, you don't have to do all the stuff (e.g., if you catch 4, defeat 4 and see a move 2 times that's enough vs. catching 20, defeating 20 and seeing a move like 10 times)

Level 10 you mean, right?
