    The hell with fighting gym trainers when the mazes are so annoying and unskipable until you beat the leader.

    re: Serena

    it would be cool if things started off friendly and then soured over time

    at least that might be something like real life

    better yet would be is there were actually some kind of character arc or narrative

    as it stands I just felt bad the last time I beat her when she was like "I like our battles but I'd like them more if I didn't lose every time"

    still, it's pokemon and it's pretty fun anyway

    As it stands, only the gen 2 rival goes through any real arc (and it's a pretty decent one, all things considered).

    The fact that Silver's Golbat evolves into a Crobat, an evolution done through friendship, is a nice subtle touch

    I miss the rival being the Champion. It added something to that final battle.

    They do make an effort to include the Champion in the story these days, but it doesn't always cut it.

    I personally plan on never going back there unless the story sends me there

    though I guess I'm also gonna have to get a haircut every now and then and check the clothing store selection each day, but those two are both south side so I just have to run along the half-circle

    Is it actually possible to get 1M currency in this game, or is that guy in the stone shop in pokeparis just taunting you with that extra mega-stone item?

    No idea, although money seems to come pretty easy with the Amulet Coin being obtained pretty early on.

    one disadvantage of the switch to 3D

    a lot of the sprites in the various 2D versions of the game depicted "action shots" of the pokemon. Rattata in mid-leap, that kind of thing

    and now, because you're seeing the pokemon in "real time" instead of just a static picture representing it, a lot of them just kinda

    stand there

    for some pokemon that works fine, and some, like zubat, are explicitly helped by the constant animation, but for others they're less exciting looking than they used to be

    I really don't understand why they didn't just use the same static camera angle set up from Castelia City in B/W for PokeParis.

    I'm not sure about Tyrunt's base movepool because stuff is still being investigated but

    I'm super concerned that so far it has only learned two bite moves naturally.

    What is even the point of your ability. You should start with all the fang moves!

    I'd guess because castelia only had north-south roads, and they wanted to include east-west ones in pokeparis.
    But they could have done it all a lot better than this.

    Like, Hitmonchan learns....like 9 punches on its own?

    I expected Tyrunt to learn a new fang move every couple of levels

    but then it tried to learn dragon tail?

    I especially appreciate that there are no Rock or Dragon fang moves.
    Get it together Tyrunt.

    Although mine did just evolve into an awesome beard T-rex and it seems to wreck things even without a bunch of bite moves. I'm just using it's ability on Crunch at the moment.

    Tyrunt /Tyrantrum seem to only learn bute and crunch naturally.

    No hidden fangs at level one and no signature move like freeze dry with the ofher fossil.

    Its weird.

    Its hidden ability better be sand stream

    I have a podcast now. It's about video games and anime!Find it here.
