Never used any of the gift pokemon and I outright refused the Lucario just because I could.
Delphoxkeks were on suicide watch while GreninjaCHADS were like wow water fire is a pretty good combo and i love Charizard.
>GreBlack folk
>Chads
I admire the determination of Greninja loving homosexuals to pretend like that Pokémons design isnt one of the shittiest and ugliest ever spawned. The will it must take to stay steadfast in shitty taste is admirable.
GEKKOUGA is based as frick. way better than bara grass creature and furry fox.
Should've been postgame honestly
Showcasing megas early was way better than locking them into postgame only.
>Showcasing megas
You don't need Kanto starters for that.
You also dont need to lock them into postgame.
No one's locking megas in the postgame. There are other pokemon with mega evolutions than just the Kanto starters. Hell, the first mega you see and use is Lucario.
>No one's locking megas in the postgame
Yes and all is good.
The mega Kanto starters definitely should have waited until postgame, but megas as a whole were fine as they were since you couldn't mega evolve until you got the Lucario anyway
Especially since there were postgame megas anyway
Theres literally no argument or reason as to why they should have put the kanto starters until the postgame.
They have no reason to lock the Power Plant doors either
Correct they should make more optional areas.
The simple fact that giving you a second set of starters that early in the game is dumb, afaik every other game up to that point would at least give new pokemon original to the region rather than just old ones
I mean, they also give you the megastones, right? And those are new pokemon
You can go catch new pokemon just fine. Nothing dumb about having a choice to use a starter that got a new cool form.
>The simple fact that giving you a second set of starters that early in the game is dumb
why
they gave the kanto starters megas over the kalos ones
hell i can't think of a reason why they gave charizard 2 besides trying to appeal to people who grew up with RBY/FRLG
>should've been after you're done all the game's content because it upsets my autism!!!
thank frick you morons don't design these games.
Giving the player two starters + the free Lucario railroads XY into being an even easier game than it should be, it was a good move for its time but made for a lackluster gameplay choice
oh no the game goes from mashing A to sweep every npc to mashing A to sweep every NPC how could they do this to my toddler pokemon games bros? It's not like I can just go on the PSS and get a challenging battle in 30 seconds!!
>bringing a lv36 to a fight against early-mid 20s
wow you're so smart and cool and sexy
>y-you can just handicap yourself on purpose
cool, do the same in XY then and simply don't use the starter and lucario. Problem solved.
not overleveling is not handicapping yourself
especially if the argument is about difficulty in a game where numbers > skill
>not over leveling in pokemon
impossible unless you handicap yourself
It depends on what you count as a handicap.
I count objective handicaps as handicaps
Gee nice definition anon. Definitely helpful to the discussion.
>look yawnmom, I posted it again!
As shit as XY is, giving you Lucario, Lapras, and the kanto starters was a great choice so you dont have to use any dogshit ugly kalos mons
If only they did that in Unova and Galar as well
Unova's whole thing was having new pokemon until the end of the game, so not possible.
At least you can use these third-stagers as starter replacements
What are you talking about? Those three are literally the starters of Unova though?
I don't wanna play that Palworld ass region, so no thanks
Serperior is alright.
They most likely didn't give away the Kanto Starters early in Galar because of Leon already having a Charizard

OP is so good at this game that he undercuts the WR pace to Sycamore by 7 minutes

i cant into x and y
the 3d looks really bad compared to sun and moon
yeah im thinking xyz was based
i wasn't in this board during 2013 how much did sceptincelgays seethed about this?
I unironically had 3 starters on my team in my first play through: Chesnaught, Blaziken, Blastoise and then Lucario, Talonflame and Bunnelby's evo
>Two fire types
>Three fighting types
I was sort of bored of Pokémon at that point so I just didn't really give a shit about overlapping types or team building. I still steamrolled through the game though since it was very easy
>is that multiple of the objective best type in the game?
>AIEEEEEEE I'M GOING INSANE
this is incredibly similar to my Y team except sylveon instead of diggersby
it was pretty great

>Event exclusive Mega Stone
>Pokemon you had to wait two months to transfer in if you skipped the event
>Based
at least it was just an old gen pokemon and not one of the most shilled new gen mons requiring previous gen event mons in some stupid contrived method requiring two systems
The stone being exclusive was lame but at least it was easy to get a Torchic, hell I'm sure I got a bunch on Wonder Trade.
Yup, if the Torchic event is available frog and toad are the only starters worth picking
Are you me?
Hey, I have that Blaziken!
Good times man…
Fire is my favourite type so XY was a perfect opportunity to do a mono fire playthrough. Delphox, CHARIZAAARD, Blaziken made up half the team
Oh that's a good point lmao. And Talonflame. Lot of fires early on. That's like never the case
I'm fairly certain my brother did his playthrough with 5/6 members being fire types
Did Siebold give you trouble?
Good times, my dad played XY with me

I don't know about you guys but in the end, I spent most of my game time breeding berries (yes berries, not pokemon) and wondertrading
they should've given you a new starter after every gym tbqh
my favorite pokemon to use is the steelix you get at the 2nd gym just for trading a shitty luvdisc
honestly I like how generous XY is with pokemon handouts even if it makes the game less balanced, it makes it more fun to replay than trash like DPPt where the game is poorly balanced AND the pokemon distribution is boring dog piss
Bait these days get creative at least

I said point out the part that's -wrong- not the part that's correct that makes you butthurt

>kalos starters all looking like garbage
wrong
You're supposed to debunk OP's opinion, not validating it.
not my problem that you guys have shit taste.
Unironically liking Greninja is peak dogshit taste.
Peak contrarian opinion.
Seriously. Greninja is the least offensive starter evo that gen. There's a reason he's so popular.
The irony is lost on you.
You are delusional.
>Greninja is the least offensive starter evo that gen
*most
>a reason he's so popular
It was made broken then shilled in the anime and Smash Bros, just like Lucario. Everybody hated the design until those things were known.
>You are delusional.
It was voted the best Pokemon, so clearly hating it is being a contrarian.
1. That poll was rigged in favor of Greninja.
2. By that "logic", liking Greninja is contrarian now that newer polls exist.
3. You are delusional because you believe people decide to hate Greninja because it's popular, when in reality they simply don't like it because it's ugly and don't care about how strong or imporant it was made out to be.
1. Wrong
2. Greninja always places in the top 30 in the newer polls.
3. You are delusional because you believe people dont like Greninja.
1. Google gets rich by spreading misinformation.
2. The point is that one outdated poll doesn't make Greninja the most popular pokémon ever. It wasn't even true when that poll was made.
3. I never said that. I explained why it's not contrarian to dislike Greninja and why people who like Greninja have no taste.
1. Meds
2. Nobody ever said this in the history of the universe
3. Wrong
It’s not contrarian to not wanna wienersuck your bromon
Your homosexual fantasies are showing again.
Calling out your behavior is necessary for your remission.
>the ugly ultra beast turnermon managed to be one of the top ten popular Pokémon
It’s fricking over. Poketards have no standards.
>"oh neat, water starters are always great HM slaves."
Greninja was still my ace and bestfriend
>No mega for the starters
Glad they realized not including the starters in the region gimmick is dumb as frick
giving megas to pokemon that are already new is a complete waste. That's what the kanto starters are for.
Didn't stop them from giving Gmax to new pokemon Megas aren't that big of a deal it's just another form change at the end of day
>Didn't stop them from giving Gmax to new pokemon
yeah because dynamax exists to actually be an interesting mechanic and not to just blatantly shill new designs.
This some people think Mega evolution is the end all be all of forms
They are. Thats why only Pokemon Game Freak values got them.
>Have so little faith in your starters you have to make a big show of pushing out the Kanto trio within the first hour of the game
Unironically the biggest burial in the history of this franchise. It's not even a matter of trying to showcase mega evolution, that could have just as easily been done by giving the player another mon that WASN'T a starter. Greninja being as over as it is is basically in spite of Gamefreak throwing Kalos under the bus.
>Greninja being as over as it is is basically in spite of Gamefreak throwing Kalos under the bus.
They knew greninja was going to be popular the moment it was concepted moron.
They gave you Kanto starters because they wanted you to have 2 starters.
they were deathly afraid of Gen VI getting as hated as Gen V
the precautions such as this are best viewed in that light
I always choose Chespin and Squirtle

Kanto homosexualry is a disease and should be treated as such. Coming into 10 generations of Pokemon and it's still bottom 3.
>the pokemon game is bad because pokemon are in it
>the argument is wrong because I completely missed the point
Go on anon, please tell us what your point is that totally isn't just "the pokemon game is bad because pokemon are in it"
Don’t know about the other guy that responded to you, but the argument is about how spotlight is handled, not Pokemon being in the game. Sorry you’re an obtuse homosexual.
>how spotlight is handled
i.e. “I’m mad the pokemon game has pokemon I don’t like in it”
I wonder how many people would be crying about this of it were say, gen 4 starters being given out instead. Zoomers seem to be jealous that gen 1 is objectively more popular than whatever slop they grew up with.
>i.e. (completely different talking point entirely)
You again miss the point. I don't them to handout previous generation starters at all, even though I like them. I like the Kanto ones as well and I'm glad they're in the game, as in usable. You're the only obvious zoomer who's unable to recall a time when newer regions weren't just temporary flavors in tandem with Kanto specifically over and over and over and over again, to be discarded completely and replaced with another flavor served together with Kanto over and over and over and over again due to the new regions never having enough spotlight to mesh into the overall series. It is only you seething that your internationalized brand disposed of every region's existence Kalos and up because they were never created with their own survival in mind but rather as soulless products to bring in money by any means necessary, even cheap nostalgia.
Lot of crying and seething from you.
>Why yes, I never actually had a valid response to your criticism to begin with. How could you tell?
I agree, theres no valid criticism against the starters being given to you.
A French Forest magically having the exact same layout as a Japanese one. Pidgey being a mandatory first encounter. Snorlaxes magically having an affinity for sleeping on bridges. Mewtwo magically having an affinity to stand in caves. Kanto starters being handed out for no apparent reason. Kanto pokemon being magically more prone to mega evolving. Pure coincidence dictating that you can only catch Kanto Legendaries in postgames. None of these can be lore explained in a way that accomplishes worldbuilding; only explained through the lens of “they wanted you to feel nostalgia”.
>inb4 YOU HATE POKEMON IN A POKEMON GAME
Not what I'm saying. That's strawmanning the argument, when the argument is how they are presented and how they take away spotlight from the new (indicating the new dex is shit, but I digress).
>muh elite four
What’s next, pokeballs? That's just how the Pokemon world is structured. That's like saying every democracy in the world believe Greeks are superior people. Meanwhile XY goes out of it's way to make you feel nostalgia for Kanto, while giving the finger to any natural feeling worldbuilding
>no rebuttal to the CHARIZARD bridge
concession accepted zoomer
There already was a rebuttal. Kalos was the one that started referencing a past region out of proportion. All those multiple times add up and feel unnatural. Charizard Bridge is the most out-of-your-face references I have ever seen in this series.
Gen 1:
>Charizard on cover
Gen 2:
Champion has Charizard, Charizard on intro screen
Gen 3:
Charizard on Cover
Gen 4:
>Boat that looks like Charizard, Champion has Charizard,
Gen 5:
Unobtainable until postgame for only time except PLA, snuck in one obscure text namedrop that isn't the actual bridge's name
Gen 6:
Charizard gets two Mega forms, gets offered early in game
Gen 7:
Charizard become le epic Ride Pokemon all over the region and is part of region's culture
Gen 8:
Charizard is the Champion's famous ace, gets Max form, and is part of the region's culture even more
Gen 9:
tones it back a little for ones
Besides Paldea, it's obvious which one had the least wienersucking of Lizardon.
>Gen 4:
>Boat that looks like Charizard, Champion has Charizard,
Maybe I'm an oldgay but I dont remember Cynthia having a Charizard?
he's talking about lance
>I don't them to handout previous generation starters at all
i.e. "I don't like that pokemon show up in the pokemon game"
>weren't just temporary flavors in tandem with Kanto specifically over and over and over and over again to be discarded completely and replaced with another flavor served together with Kanto over and over and over and over again
I actually do remember that, because that's literally what they always were up until Gen 7 happened.
>let me ignore your point completely and pretend like you're saying this thing even though you explained how you didn't
>lmao whataboutism
>lmao muh Aloe started it
lmao Kalos does no wrong
Nope. Kalos started sucking Kanto's wiener, and I have nothing wrong with Kanto pokemon appearing in the game. I'm just criticizing the way that they appeared. Stop coping and start actually reading the content of the argument instead of desperately finding a away to shift to "regular broadcasting" servings of genwar images that have already been thoroughly addressed ad nauseam as if you are convincing anyone.
>Kalos started sucking Kanto's wiener,
That's just encounter tables. Sinnoh references all past regions proportionally, unlike your Shitlos.
>That's just encounter tables
yeah, it's just the most of the gameplay in the game as opposed to XY where you just see a single starter selection screen and then can ignore the pokemon the entire rest of the game
At the time of the Sinnoh games, Kanto Pokemon were roughly a third of all Pokemon at the time, and all the regions were Japanese and close to one another, so it made sense for Sinnoh to heavily use more Kanto encounters and reference the other three regions a considerable amount. These references were done in a way that built up the world (except maybe encounter pools, but this was due to less total pokemon at the time, so only certain pokemon would fit well in certain areas) and this didn't break immersion. it wasn't done to bait nostalgia. XY's pandering, in almost every example, is unnatural, with it's only explanation being "they wanted to stimulate your nostalgia", with these events barely making sense and being evermore focused on Kanto exclusively, when Kanto Pokemon at the time comprised of only about 20 percent of all pokemon at the time, and France being quite a ways away from Japan.
>lmao respond to the void with generic shitposts and tally a win
So childish
>At the time of the Sinnoh games, Kanto Pokemon were roughly a third of all Pokemon at the time,
And yet the game is 90% Kanto Pokemon. Which is drastically more than XY. Curious.
>And yet the game is 90% Kanto Pokemon
That is not true at all. Show me where I lied to shill my narrative like you are currently pulling off.
>That is not true at all
Holy shit that looks bad, lets see a Kalos route.
Holy shit thats soul.
Cherrypicking changes nothing. Also, Kanto pokemon popping up more was already explained here
>hurr durr racial jungle availability is good
Pokemon shouldn't be living where it would not make sense for them to live. And certainly not when it trivializes the game.
Good thing everything in Kalos makes sense.
>Good thing [fanfic]
Ah yes sludge monsters nearby to a Royale Palace that's kept tidy, Pandas roaming outside of forests and jungles, and caves completely stuffed of non-cave pokemon
Yes sludge monsters contrast the beautiful Palace well, Pokemon roaming around outside forest and jungles make perfect sense because its Pokemon and not real life and last one is just flat out lying since Glittering cave has your normal bat type pokemons like Woobat and rock types like Onix. Nice try though!
>it's good that they do not fit whatsoever!
>it's good that it makes no sense!
>there's cave pokemon, which means the non-cave pokemon in the caves don't exist anymore!
Thanks for conceding "everything in Kalos makes sense" was just you coping. Step one of grief is denial. Either that or you're simply moronic anon get help.
>it's good that they fit just right
Correct.
>it's good that it makes sense
Correct.
>theres cave mons in caves
Correct. Glad we agree.
>they fit just right
Sludge monsters near a royale palace that’s kept today is the opposite of “fitting just right” anon
>it makes sense
Pokemon being in the wrong hioms is the opposite of making sense, anon
>there’s cave mons in caves
No ones denying that. I originally said they mixed in mons that would not make sense to be in cave. That doesn’t fit and does not make sense. Stop forcing your autism about Kalos being somehow able to do nothing wrong. It’s a shitty game from your childhood that you still didn’t accept was the downfall of the series.
?? Those aren't even the encounters near the palace. These are the encounters near the palace, morono.
I was referring to Route 5 which is next to the mansion.
It’s almost like we were referring to this gulpin spawn the entire time schizo-kun
Which you criticized for being near the palace when it isn't near the palace, morono.
see
Try reading before shitposting for the sake of responding last.
>I said palace b-but actually I meant mansion I'm totally not just shifting goalposts
How is confusing similar terminology shifting goalposts? In some places people use palace to mean mansion, but I digress. The same criticism applies equally valid in both cases. It doesn’t make sense to have certain filthy moms there.
>there can't be gulpin in a route outside of a gated off town that happens to have a mansion in it because uhh my fanfic said so
I mean it even has a hotel so no, a city like that makes more sense to be well kept. Also it’s hilarious that you backed down from the other two examples because you know how inexcusable your “””defense””” is.
>Sludge monsters near a royale palace that’s kept today is the opposite of “fitting just right” anon
It makes perfect sense since and theres many reasons why they would be there.
>Pokemon being in the wrong hioms is the opposite of making sense, anon
Its actually in the perfecet "biome" since the line is a rerefence to juvenile-delinquents who usually chill at sport related places which are in route 5.
>mixed in mons that would not make sense to be in cave
Like who?
>there are many reasons filth would be rampant on the walls of a mansion
Elaborate
>delinquents
Nice excuse. But that logic they can be anywhere. Even Legendary locations. LMAO THEY’RE DARK TYPE SO THEY CAN POP UP ANYWHERE isn’t good worldbuilding
>Like who
Why would wobuffet and Solosis appear in Kalos caves? This doesn’t exactly fit anon.
>new dex is so shit they rely on old designs to keep the experience maneagable
>new dex can actually carry a game successfully
Yes
Okay most of your post makes sense except for Gulpin being there specifically. How is it their natural habitat? In the other example in Sinnoh, Grimer popped up out of a literal Marshy area. I don’t really see what causes Gulpin to exist in that area bordering the mansion.
>How is it their natural habitat?
Because they're found there. Gulpin and Swalot are slug creatures whose real counterparts would be found in a place like Route 5 naturally.
>Solosis
Dex Entry: Because their bodies are enveloped in a special liquid, they can survive in any environment.
>Wobbuffet
In order to conceal its black tail, it lives in a dark cave and only moves about at night.
This one isn't the best because the Reflection Cave is much brighter than the Dark Cave, but it's the general idea of it.
>How is it their natural habitat?
>Because they're found there.
There's no reason for sludge monsters to be there.
>Solosis
That means they can be anywhere. I'd ask for a justification for that cave specifically but it doesn't exist.
>Wobbuffet
Yes, it's reflection cave. I applaud you for the in-lore reasons, though.
>it's Paris so it's supposed to be dirty
So Lumiose.
>Pancham is pure fighting type
I know, I was mocking. Ot shows your justification's lacking.
>wobuffet
See above. Reflection cave doesn't make as much sense as the other caves in Kalos.
Sinnoh is still the same country as Johto in-game but Kalos is a far away land. It's apparently a swimmable distance from Hoenn, though.
>I know, I was mocking
Sounds like you have no arguments so you just insult.
>Reflection cave doesn't make as much sense as the other caves in Kalos
..Cave doesnt make sense for a cave Pokemon? I think you dont make sense here...
>Sounds like you have no arguments so you just insult.
The argument remains the same, mongoloid. "It's a delinquent so it can be LE ANYWHERE" is a dumb shitty excuse anon.
>cave = cave
So you didn't take the two seconds to read the point above. Wobuffet was originally justified to be in caves like this:
>In order to conceal its black tail, it lives in a dark cave and only moves about at night.
This only makes sense in caves that are dark, not full of mirrors where you can see fricking everything. Try actually reading instead of sperging.
>The argument remains the same, mongoloid. "It's a delinquent so it can be LE ANYWHERE" is a dumb shitty excuse anon
Nobody said everywhere expect you, what was said that they are close to sports facilities. Maybe you try to actually read...?
>not full of mirrors where you can see fricking everything
Looks like there are lot of dark places in the cave where it could hide its tail.
>Pancham needs to have rollerblades for my argument to work
>Wobuffet needs to stand in one spot for my argument to work instead of just opt for a dark cave
How’s it like being a Black person who can’t think?
needs to have rollerblades for my argument to work
Strawman. Try again.
needs to stand in one spot for my argument to work instead of just opt for a dark cave
Uhh yeah a slow mon who uses counterattacks and is based on a punching bag most likely doesnt move much..
>Strawman
How about actually explain what you mean by “Pancham needs to be there because I said so” instead of having the other person have to do guesswork
>h-he’s slow
It still doesn’t make sense as a long-term habitat if you quite literally never be in most of it, which is brightly illuminated.
>How about actually explain what you mean
Read the thread.
>It still doesn’t make sense
Sounds like you are stupid then. Also it doesnt just live in caves since it can be found in safari zone grass so i dont really know why you are so autistic about this irrational XY hate.
>Read the thread
I already did and dissected your defense. Stop coping and please provide your explanation analysis.
>you’re stupid if you think slow creature still move around and wouldn’t do so living in a place that is majority unideal for its biological niche.
You seem to be the stupid one, kid. Especially when you fail to realize that safari zones are artificial locations with imported mons that didn’t choose to be there. Sorry you’re just an insufferable zoomer who can’t articulate his thoughts properly.
>I already did and dissected your defense
No you didnt, you even claimed Pancham was dark type which is laughable.
Safari zone was just one of the places it lives, other sinclude forests, lakes and fields which you can see yourself in Bulbapedia. Looks like you are out of arguments so you resort to ad hominems which is sad but expected...
>you even claimed
No, I applied your logic of “it’s a delinquent so it can be everywhere” to dark types also being mischievous to show how dumb your logic about it being able to be everywhere was. You then shifted to sporty locations arbitrarily without any supporting reasoning whatsoever.
>ignores what a safari zone is
I’m sorry anon I already explained it yet you just seem hell bent on shitposting. Wobbuffet is always in some secluded area where visibility is poor, not a fricking mirror exhibit that completely contradicts its whole schtick.
>No, I applied your logic of “it’s a delinquent so it can be everywhere”
Strawman. I never said that.
>Wobbuffet is always in some secluded area where visibility is poor
Headcanon.
>I never said that
For the millionth time, it’s the same logic. >Headcanon
How? It’s exactly what the Pokédex entry we’re discussing says, and is confirmed by every other place it appears naturally in previous game.

>Why would wobuffet and Solosis appear in Kalos caves?
Uhh bro... Wobbuffet in gen 2 was found in Dark Cave...
It's about the proportion of references. 90% of references to other regions in games Gen 6 onwards is towards Kanto. The only exception to this is Legends Arceus which mentioned other regions with a relatively equal distribution. I saw references to Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Unova, Alola and a few to Galar
> It's about the proportion of references. 90% of references to other regions in games Gen 6 onwards is towards Kanto
Then why does Gen 4 have drastically more Kanto references than Gen 6?
It doesn't. I barely remember any meaningful references to Kanto in Sinnoh other than Professor Oak.
>It doesn't
Yes in real life Japan there are the same animals in Hokkaido as in the real life Kanto region. I would be concerned if real life France has the same fauna as the real life Kanto region though!
Pokemon regions aren't real life.

We all know if it was the gen 2 starters instead then people would throw a shitfit in spite of all the "gen 2 starters deserve more attention" you see on r/Pokemon, because hypocrisy.
Chadlos must be pretty damn good if the biggest problem people can find with it is "Pokemon are in the game"
Amazing, over 10 years and the best criticism against KalosGODS is that a 2 forests look similar. Bravo.

That route is a huge mega route arranged like an L so there’s a lot of distance between the mansion and it, while Kalos route 5 is a hallway right next to the building with gulpin that appear in hordes. I get that it’s a small detail but there are many other examples in XY like this. It’s the little things that add up and gradually make for a less believable experience.
>BDSP only
no one tell him
he might start having a mental breakdown as he slowly realizes that his favorite game not only has dogshit distribution, but the distribution it does have makes even less sense than XY
My post still mogs your point of you ignore the first two words because the next two are “even still”. Thanks for the clarification on your inability to read English properly.
>i-it’s ok that a literal sludge monster is encounterable even closer to the mansion because…um…game I like did it
>even closer
No anon, look at both maps. In Kalos route five the grass is just outside the mansion to its right. Grass in 212 is far South. That area is very long away as it’s an actual route instead of a couple staircases like in Kalos, and they justified it with the Great Marsh. No such justification exists in Kalos
Looks closer than route 5 to the kalos mansion tbh
see
i even drew a line of how close they would be you obtuse moron. You’re just trolling now.
Test
Complaining that slug monsters can be found in a route that's two routes away from a mansion is a new low for Kalos haters, but truthfully I can't say I'm surprised
>two routes away
Renew your prescription.
Oh you're talking about the Castle. That's totally intentional as we learn that the owner had given all of their possessions away over the years. Poison slug monsters being near it makes total sense and fits with the game's worldbuilding and message.
Wait a minute anon. I promise I’m not fricking with you, I’m just trying to understand you. I read the first half and thought you had something nice to say and then….just massive confusion. How does the owner being charitable, probably from age, have anything to do with sludge monsters being next to his mansion? And then, how does that have anything to do with the game’s worldbuilding and message? I’m asking because I want to know your logic, not just to mess with you. Please elaborate promptly.
The owner not being superficial means that they don't care to keep up with appearances and don't care about Gulpin being near them as that's their natural habitat. Meanwhile, Parfum Palace requires you to pay a fee to enter for the upkeep of the building to keep up with appearances. The game's message is about connections between others and the Shabboneau Castle and Parfum Palace explore two different approaches to that theme.

>APPEALING CLASSIC DESIGN AS A FREE GIFT BAD
>UGLY SHITMON MONKEY THAT EVOLVES INTO LITERALLY THE LEAST POPULAR POKEMON IN THE FRANCHISE AS A FREE GIFT GOOD
It's funny actually, I think the ninja frog dude was probably the first starter I actually liked since Gen 1 itself.
Over the years there have been acceptable designs like flame rat and smugleaf, but ninja frog was the first one I actually LIKED since the OG trio way back when I was still a literal child.
Yep. XY has good new starters as well as good classic starters as an additional option while BW just gives you one set of fricking awful starters. Truly kino.

I like XY so much I love the cute graphics (peak of pokemon), the cute areas, the 3d models, I love being a cute aryan girl and playing dressup
this game makes me so happy
I like to imagine myself as serena making out with Valerie
I boxed my Kanto starter after getting it because it felt wrong using a starter not from the region the game is set in.
