Deep siiiiiiigh... For PokeSpe: Legends Arceus, I think that in order to give them actual direction and specific things to do, I would need to incorporate the changes BDSP made to the original DP games into the future/present party's storyline. Problem is that I didn't get those games as they REALLY don't seem to be worth it given that I already own Pearl and Platinum. Therefore I don't really know what those changes are. Looking at the list, there really does seem to be some interesting possibilities... But I just don't really want to get those games. >.<
Though looking at the list, they seem to have made a lot of changes to the contests... And the idea of Emmet being forced into participating in a Pokemon contest REALLY tickles me!

i think, and this may just be my zekrom bias speaking, that if someone wants to experience the full value of bw's story it's better to play through white first. black has the issue of coming off as very dismissive towards plasma's legitimate and well-founded claims that pokemon abuse DOES occur (and it does! from the kanto games' marowak to bw2's liepard there's instances where it's put in the spotlight, so it certainly does happen)... by assigning the protagonist to truth, it feels pretty evident that n's beliefs are "wrong", and the game just seems to brush any questioning aside.
on the other hand, white giving n the hero of truth role means we're basically forced to think about what that means for the relationship of people and pokemon at large. to translate a point n makes in chargestone cave: if you allow people to coexist with pokemon, even if the majority of trainers treat them well, there will always be someone somewhere out there who abuses or neglects them instead. are we okay with that? should those pokemon still be allowed to suffer, just because what they experience is an outlier to the general rule? while not outright stated, zekrom's association with hope and the strive for the ideal suggests that we don't brush off these facts, but instead take them into consideration, and aim to change the world based off of them... like how in bw2 society in unova puts a lot more emphasis on the bond between people and pokemon, and on pokemon as equals (see: iris's dialogue before entering your team info the hall of fame).
i think black version has its own unique avenues to explore, but on the surface level, it's a much more cut and dry, "no, you're just wrong", type of story that kind of makes you work harder to fit it into bw's overall theming of "the world's not black and white, there's not a singular objective right or wrong perspective."

BDSP was fine, y'all just mean
Tumblr media
Kinda kidding but not really as I know it's a hot take
Written Feb 6th 2024
Not saying some of the dislike wasn't worth it
But the problem wasn't with ILCA it's the base game of Diamond and Pearl
A lot of people's complaints basically sum up that they didn't incorporate Platinum into the game
Mainly from Pokemon available, with some mentioning the Giratina distortion world and such plus other changes that platinum had from DP like battle frontier differences
On one hand yes it would have been nice if they did make some more changes like implementing more Platinum story elements making it more of a definitive Sinnoh experience
But also it's DP remakes not Platinum remakes
Similar with ORAS and FRLG they had some new stuff and revamped stuff. But it's not like FRLG had Yellow elements (that's lets go) and ORAS had a lot of Emerald. At most the Delta episode for ORAS was their workaround for no Emerald so if you want to group that as the full game then sure BDSP needed some DLC but then you have the DLC dilemma is getting the platinum stuff worth an extra $20-$30 dollars and have that dlc debate
The underground solved a lot of the issues imo
The underground having Pokemon down there personally solved a lot of the Pokemon availability problem
For example, I picked Turtwig so I wasn't just limited to Ponyta for a fire type since I didn't pick Chimchar I had options as Magby and Houndour were now available, which fixes the fire type problem imo
And I think people overreact about the changes to the bases and flag capturing as yes it would have been nice if they were the same but I think the changes outweigh it greatly. Plus if ORAS showed anything people really didn't care to have the secret bases as secret bases and just liked it for nostalgia mainly
Not saying BDSP was perfect but I do think in a lot of aspects it is the definitive Sinnoh experience as you're basically just missing the Giratina story which isn't as necessary to the plot imo
As it kinda just seems like Yellow, Crystal, Emerald and Platinum were seen as definitive because they don't have the dual version conundrum so they seem more complete in compariso. But when the dual version games get additional content is the additional usually third legendary plot really worth it?
Maybe maybe not
And I know a lot of rumors about potential Johto or Unova remakes have been going on and people are worried as they didn't like BDSP
But if for example ILCA makes the remakes and has the chibi style and etc
But they fix the level scaling in Johto or something like Pokemon availability for Unova I think those would be better even if minimal changed
I do have my own hopes and wishes for potential remakes but I will wait until they are officially announced

random question but does anyone else miss the Pokestars studios from B2W2?
Though it doesn't do much gameplay wise it was still such a fun concept.
You could make movies with you're own Pokemon (though you had to first make it with a rental mon, then you could use you're own). Movies have two/three endings that depend on what you're character says and what moves you use. These endings are Good, Bad and Strange (with Strange actually being better than Good)
There's multiple costumes depending on the movie you're making. You could be a prince/princess, superhero, scientist and more. And you can see these outfits from the comic book styled panels that appear when you watch the movies.
You can get fans, and you can also get some items. But something REALLY cool was that if you make a movie with one of you're Pokemon and got the strange ending, you're Pokemon gains a special animation when you send it out. Kinda like Shiny Pokemon or the animation for N's Pokemon that you could catch if you used the memory link.
Ultimately it's nothing huge or game changing, but it was still so cool and a feature that I really miss.

HC that Flint's D/P team (at least Drifblim) were caught in Paldea and had Fire as their Tera Type so he was allowed to use them in the Sinnoh League

So like the next generation remake is Unova, right? I think it'd be funny if we got a Larry cameo in those games (Like how Trial Captain Mina was in Let's Go).
The reason for that is because the Office Clerk Trainer class debuted in Gen 5.
Tumblr media
So like imagine just chilling in Castelia City and you go by the docks and you see Larry at the end of one, staring at the ocean.
That would be fun lol.

So I played the RTDLDX demo...
And despite what I said last month, HAL has won me over with charm.
The art style really grew on me; it especially looks better during actual gameplay. The backgrounds are GORGEOUS. I haven't played with all of the abilities, but the effects on Beam make it more fun to play. Water looks really great. Another Dimension looks awesome.
Gameplay is RTDL as I remember, but I forgot how much I enjoyed the movement in that. It's faster and smoother (?) than the 3ds titles, rushing through levels is a joy.
There are a couple added assist features! I haven't tested it out yet, but there's an assist mode where you can't die from pits, for example. Held items like in KatFL and the 3ds titles make a comeback through Magolor's theme park.
Said theme park is great! The demo only has 2 minigames open, but they were enjoyable and getting points to earn masks is addicting. I'm excited to collect all the masks, especially the sound ones. Also glad to see HAL using the masks to rep some forgotten characters, like the friends from DL3 and Joronia (?). Excited to see which characters made the cut in the final game, there's 86 of the things which leaves tons of room for rep.
Also excited to see more about the post game, which we totally predicted last month.
So, yeah, I'm gonna get the game after all. This is clearly a remake made with heart.

My friend asked me why I have three versions of the same Pokemon game (Pearl, Platinum, and Brilliant Diamond), so i went on an unhinged ADHD rant. Realized I could post it here, so I edited it into a coherent paragraph. Let me know if I got anything wrong! I'm not an expert at all just a pokemon fan. TL;DR availible at the end. Explanation below the cut:
Ok so pokemon games! They usually come out in pairs, excluding gen 1 and probably some others. Like how Diamond and Pearl are both basically the same game and released at the same time. Two or three years later (usually before the next gen releases), they release a "sequel," for lack of a better term. Often it's one game. For example, Pokemon Diamond and Pearl became Pokemon Platinum. Sometimes they're direct sequels though, like Sun and Moon turning into Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon or Black and White turning into Black 2 and White 2.
Gamefreak also remakes their old Pokemon games. They remade Red and Green into FireRed and LeafGreen. Ruby and Sapphire got the same treatment, becoming Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. They usually come with graphics improvements among other tweaks, and are released on newer console than the originals; Red and Green were for the Gameboy, FireRed and LeafGreen were for the Gameboy Advance. The remakes for those two came out about eight years later. Diamond and Pearl were made for the DS, but Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl (their remakes) were for the Switch. Those remakes came out about 15 years later than the original games, releasing in 2022.
The biggest difference between pokemon game pairs is usually the main legendary pokemon. Ex. in Pearl, the Team Galactic captured Palkia. In Diamond, they capture Dialga. That means Palkia is only able to be caught in Pokemon Pearl and Dialga is only in Diamond. There's lesser differences in catchable pokemon between the game pairs too. In the Grand Underground while playing the Pearl version, you can find Armor Fossils while digging. They can be restored in the Oreburgh Museum to get the pokemon Shieldon. In Diamond, you instead find Skull Fossils that can be restored into Cranidos. There are also other pokemon that can be caught in Pearl and not Diamond, and vice versa. Besides Dialga/Palkia/Giritina though, you can see every single Sinnoh pokemon in all versions of the gen4 games and unlock the national pokedex. I think there's also Kanto pokemon that can only be found in one version or the other of the game when you unlock the international pokedex? Not totally sure on that one.
Platinum, Pearl and Diamond's "sequel," changes the end of the story altogether, with the distortion world and all (haven't made it to that point in the game yet 😅). Giritina is the main legendary pokemon in it that the villain captures. You can also obtain Palkia and Dialga after defeating the Elite Four. Despite calling it a sequel, Pokemon Platinum isn't all that different from the other two Sinnoh region games besides the distortion world. A few of the gyms are different, the post-game Battle Park becomes the Battle Frontier, some of the graphics are better (?), there's two new islands (Full Moon and New Moon Island) where Cressilia and Darkrai can be found, and the progression of the gyms is a bit different. It may seem like a lot, but in the grand scheme of things it's the same game as the other two.
Thanks for reading, all two of you! I appreciate it a lot. Spent way too much time on this, and even more time editing it for Tumblr than writing it in the first place.
TL;DR: Pokemon games come out in pairs that are almost identical, but not quite. Certain pokemon are only availible in one version or the other. They also usually have one sequel game or a pair of sequel games. Generations 1-4 have all had remakes throughout the years, like Gold and Silver for the Gameboy Color becoming Heartgold and Soulsilver for the DS. Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are the most recent remakes, coming out for the Switch even though the originals released for the DS.
