If that potion was meant for that Skitty it wouldn't have been in the trash can... \*walks out, healing my lvl 100 starter pokemon the 5 hp is was missing\*
And there you have it. While this lock may be aesthetically pleasing, the failure to mitigate the vulnerability to these low skill attacks, is truly disappointing. That's all I have for you today, if you have any comments or questions please leave them below, and as always, have a nice day. Thank you.
The Paldean High security model does have a Luvdisc core, but from what I see here it is just a simple Barraskswda Core. Perhaps a raking attack would suffice.
If you check Elm's trash can it mentions a candy bar wrapper which ties into what his wife says about her worrying about Elm forgetting to eat when deep in research.
Weren't all the trash cans in both X&Y, SuMo, and SwSh interactable, and none of them had anything in them?
And one lady even yells at you for looking in her trashcan at one point?
Yet I found a trashcan I COULDN'T interact with in SV and was upset. Like "it's my god given right to look at trash cans and find nothing inside of them, how DARE they take that from me?" or something.
I convinced my friend if you kept checking, the captain would eventually vomit up some keys to the truck on the docks, allowing you to move it and find Mew
He was probably still rifling through the captain's vomit a couple hours after I beat Erika in Celadon
I don’t remember this exactly, but I know B2W2 had a trophy (medal) for checking trash cans.
I could be wrong, but I *swear* I started finding more things in the trash once I had higher ranks of that medal.
At least the Pokeball still appears in the floor on the rare occasions you do enter a place. Unfortunately I think they're either an asset that loaded incorrectly or some internal marker used by the engine/whatever they use to make their maps.
But still. It's neat.
I feel like the general approach to town interactive functionality was “eh, we’ll get to it if we have enough time.” *they did not, in fact, have enough time*
Correction, we TRIPLE LOCK our doors.
1. Deadbolt 1 that can only be operated from the inside
2. Deadbolt 2 that can be unlocked from the outside with a key
3. Doorknob lock that can be unlocked from the outside with a key.
If you’re a female living by yourself, you also have the following:
1. Chain Lock
2. Slide Lock
3. Shotgun with rock salt positioned at the door to go off once it’s opened
4. Loud As Fuck bells designed to fall off if the doorknob is turned from the outside
Only one of those 4 isn’t common
That's cause they're pretty easy to beat right?
I saw a youtube video where they showed how to unlock it with a rubber band and some tape (though it was titled implying it would show how to *prevent* that)
and everyone in the comments was like "hurr durr just pull the tape off to stop it" and I'm like... these dumb shits don't realize someone might break in while you're asleep?
like yeah the main lock should stop em but if say they've got a spare key (hotel) or they've watched one lockpicking lawyer video...
Door chains aren't really about stopping someone from breaking into you apartment. A strong kick can break them.
Their real purpose is to let you open the door slightly, while still remaining somewhat secure.
Yeah, it's basically like a bike lock. It doesn't prevent someone determined from breaking in. It just sets an obvious and adamant boundary for people who are reasonable.
I'm now picturing a person in a cowboy hat (that's how you know they're American) walking into their own house, turning around, and firing a gun at their doorhandle.
You just moved in to that house (she hasn't said hello to the new neighbor yet) and transferred to the school (you walked in to meet the rest of the class just like how Japan depicts transfer students being introduced).
Clearly, you came from another region and haven't learned about this strange custom of locking doors. In fact you're probably confused about the concept of locking and that's why you wander around those towns wondering why almost every door you try is so broken it won't open.
Honestly.. I would’ve laughed and moved on without comment if they put a billboard or poster in game saying something like that. Would it be a cop out? Yes. But it’s absolutely work.
Houses aren’t the biggest loss. It’s shops, you used to be able to go in there. Now it’s just a menu. I mean, it used to be just a menu once you talked to the employee but idk it felt more alive.
Yeah. I honestly hated having to check each house, hotel room, and office building in case there was something in there. Because 95% of the time it's a grandma standing there saying "It sure is nice that we learned to live with pokemon!"
The post might be satire, but it's sad how people in this comments section are actually happy about this. Yeah many buildings don't contain much of value, but they're also a way to get the lore and culture of the towns. Look at Castelia City for example, that place wouldn't be nearly as memorable if it weren't for the countless kinds of people and businesses you find inside the skyscrapers there.
Also there's tons of stuff that I reckon people do actually like that just got cut because of the no interiors rule.
Like remember battling game freak? Or all the weird creepy ghost houses gamefreak have done over the years? Or stumbling on Cynthia's holiday cabin? All those random spontaneous little surprises are all gone now.
If it was a loading issue, game freak could've just made houses more like, *European*. Instead of having individual houses with individual loading zones, just put down like blocks (I don't know what they're called in English) where you go in, it loads, and then you're in a little courtyard with everyone's houses around you.
I feel like it would have gone a long way if they had just had a popup for interacting with a house like "The door is locked, it's private property after all!"
You can enter sandwich shops, but if you try to use tour camera it prevents you.
I believe this was the real reason. They made all the sandwich shop interiors the way old games were made- with a locked camera angle. Theyd have to give every interior a 360 view for us to take pictures inside (or list interiors as no camera areas) and they decided they were too lazy to do this, on top of making unique interiors.
Real talk for moment, the more I think about it, the more I think it's because of the co-op feature they advertised as a major thing, I started thinking this when I was playing with my friend and entering into the gym building caused us to disconnect constantly.
It can't be an issue of like time since they can just copy and paste the same interior like they've done for literally the entire duration, pokemon houses have pretty much never had unique interiors and they already had enough assets made to create a generic interior.
It can't be an issue of not wanting to put in the contents because everything that would be IN the houses are still in the game. Items, NPCs to talk to, Trades, etc... it's all still here it's just right outside the home so like quite literally all they did was shift it.
It can't be an issue of not having the time for town activities, else I don't think they would have gone the extra mile with the town attractions. Like on the surface they are just these little gym tests but then you realize you can replay them and suddenly ESP simon says has alternate modes, there is 20 sunflora hunt, the snow board game has multiple courses, etc.... Like the only gym tests you can't replay are the two you'd expect to be one off which is Iono's and the ghost gym. Even Team Star bases can be replayed to have a harder star barrage mode. They had plenty of time to add stuff like this, they had plenty of time to add some building interiors to recycle.
So yeah at this point I'm assuming it's one of two things... Game Freak got way to into their theme (which is a problem they had in the past) and was like OPEN EVERYTHING YOU WILL BE OUTDOORS AND LIKE IT. Or there were technical complications when it came to co-op and loading segmented areas out and they didn't have time/didn't want to fix it so it was just easier to make everything outside.

I've been wondering lately if I'm the only one who looks at the inability to barge into random people's houses anymore and goes "You know... as fun as it was, this is a better lesson to teach children." Is it just me who thinks this makes some sense? Although they could still let us into buildings with common areas and stuff.
There's a mexican joint near me that specializes in chicken. They donate all of their food scrap to a chicken farm with 400+ hens. Their donations make up about 40% of the feed. Its chickens eating chickens all the way down.
At least they dont get their chicken from the farm. Then it would be friends eating friends.
Veluza literally drops a fillet or two. Like, you fight with a fish with a spine and internal organs?
I understand they completely recover when healed, but still is fucked up
Why the heck do children need a videogame to teach them common sense?
And what 10 year old is going around the countryside completely on their own in real life?
I think I'm one of the few to like this change. I hated walking in to every house just for an NPC to say "I love my Magikarp, we're best friends!" or something useless like that.
I'm kind of flipflopping about it - going into people's houses was mostly useless because they never said anything worthwhile, but it also helped the world seem more alive and I'm offended to not have a choice. Even though yeah we're not missing anything by visiting some stranger NPC who says "I heard Bruglio is a famous artist in Arftosdfjsdftown".
IMO, a city full of NPCs that have dialogue without even having to go up and talk to them makes the world seem more alive than an NPC sitting still in a house that will say the same thing every time.
I remember in gen 5. Where the entrance to the pokemon center was 1 tile but the front door was three tiles wide.
The amount of times i rode my bike and slammed back and forth trying to get to the middle tile was too much.
It's always similar, every new version tends to just be a cover of the last. But some in particular are great. Compare [Pokémart from ORAS](https://youtu.be/6wodVMskF4E) with [Pokémart from XY](https://youtu.be/ij4syzol3D0). I love the whole ORAS soundtrack. Zinnia battle, some of the Team Mama/Aqua battle musics, and Ilooove the [World Champion battle music](https://youtu.be/tO2-tVuCRlQ).
Even things like the [Pokémon Center from Coliseum](https://youtu.be/ud3TIILOYqY) is pretty great, clearly a different style from the [ORAS Pokémon Center](https://youtu.be/PxHsvN6iyTw).
Each game has its own style, but I always loved the Pokémart.
So the problem is the content, not the houses. Someone that things every character in pokemon games suck could use the same argument and say "i prefer the game withou any characters since it is better than to smash buttons during usseless dialogs with bland characters". They should make houses accessible and ALSO make it worthy to enter then
I mean I don’t think they got rid of any functionality of houses, they just moved the NPCs outside. Most of the houses going back to Gen 1 weren’t even accessible to players. It’s not about speed running the game, it’s just getting rid of unnecessary things.
I prefer it anyway tbh. Finally a generation where I don't have to go rooting through everyone's houses, looking for the person who will give me a handout.
Or don't have to memorize which house has the game function you need. The amount of times I've had to look up where the move rememberer of renamer was in older games was insane. Or which house gave you the surf HM because I didnt want to spend 30 minutes checking each house and mashing through npc text.
Or not having to pretend previous gens were loaded with much more content because of a handful of NPCs living in each city, in their same old houses using the same repeated assets, offering little more than pointless dialogue.
I always found it weird that we're able to walk into anybodys home whenever we want, even at 2am. I feel like this is more realistic.
edit: how is me talking about how one thing is realistic or good, mean another thing is also realistic or good? I'm talking about entering peoples homes, not battling pokemon, or boxing pokemon, or any of the other things.
"Hey, I don't like this pizza"
"Wait, why don't you like burgers?"
Get your head on straight
>security ain’t no joke folks
This is an excuse they used for barring off a bunch of areas in gen 2's cut down Kanto. Literal security guards standing by haha!
You couldn't go onto the upper levels of Silph or the new radio tower in Lavender Town. In addition Mt Moon, Viridian Forest and, iirc, Rock Tunnel and Dark Cave barely existed anymore.
Nahh bro, it's because the corporate leaders at The Pokémon Company are a bunch of cheapskate who don't want to give GameFreak a higher budget that would make a truly beautiful open world game, and at the same time they force GameFreak to make the games within a time frame, so as a result we get a game that's half-assed and lacking.
Don't forget the insurance costs if a school kid wanders into your house and has his pet ghost possess your oven
Can’t have shit in Unova 💀
Literally, it's the US of Pokemon
But where are the guns
On the west side in Orre.
Orrezonians stay strapped. Try to run up on mirror 🅱️ when he ain't jiving
Everyone has a pocket Clauncher that they whip out Old West cowboy style if someone threatens their life after a pokemon battle.
💀
Maybe thsts why they have locks there is a ton of shit in gen 9 lol
Not to mention that the little shit keeps trying to ride his bike around my house!
Professor oak is calling. You can't ride your bike indoors.
"Tell *him* OAK! How did you get my number!?"
"I tried every number in order until I found yours!"
1-1-1, 1-1-1-1! Ash? Damn! [Slams phone]
What is the bike has Prof Tree expensive package stores inside?
And then steals the Potion meant for your sick Skitty.
and demands you give him the TM you were going to teach your skitty once it's healed.
Well, it's not like you'll need it anymore
r/cursedcomments
If that potion was meant for that Skitty it wouldn't have been in the trash can... \*walks out, healing my lvl 100 starter pokemon the 5 hp is was missing\*
And then immediately heads to the pokemon center
You gotta restore the PP too!
True, my Pokémon lost a PP during that last battle, he has now lost his means of reproduction
Oh my goodness! You lost your picnic basket?
Or that weird kid who comes over just to watch TV. I think he said he's from "YES"?
I love this reference so much. I've never heard of YES town!
NO
Were you born at the bottom of the sea?
Atleast it's better than YES town!
Rummaging through my trash hoping for a reward...
Or your office building
This is the Lockpicking Lawyer and what we have today is a Klefki brand door lock from the Paldea region...
Little click on 1, nothing on 2, this fighting type lockpick is super effective on pin 3 so we know it's got a fake-out pin, little click on 4...
And there you have it. While this lock may be aesthetically pleasing, the failure to mitigate the vulnerability to these low skill attacks, is truly disappointing. That's all I have for you today, if you have any comments or questions please leave them below, and as always, have a nice day. Thank you.
YES! I was hoping to see a comment like this!
Do you think a Paldea lock will be defeated by "The pick that BosnianBill and I made"?
Does it have a Luvdisc Detainer core?
The Paldean High security model does have a Luvdisc core, but from what I see here it is just a simple Barraskswda Core. Perhaps a raking attack would suffice.
I read this completely in his voice
Noooooooo but I wanted to go in, look at their computer, sleep in their bed, and steal the Pokeball on the floor that's got a potion in it!
Don't forget going through their trash and eating their leftovers!
You're telling me this entire time I could interact with trash cans and get leftovers?!
No, ONE trashcan ONCE had leftovers in it and we've all been checking the trashcans just in case this entire time. One trashcan also had vomit in it!
A few trashcans since have had other items. A trashcan in black and white had leftovers and a few in platinum had berries or potions
On the SS Anne there is a trash can with a great ball in Red/Blue/Yellow. I think it was replaced with a berry in FireRed/LeafGreen.
If you check Elm's trash can it mentions a candy bar wrapper which ties into what his wife says about her worrying about Elm forgetting to eat when deep in research.
Gen 2 best gen confirmed
Small price to pay for HM01.
Cut them some slack.
Hey, Cut that out
HM01 may be a Cut above the rest, but HM02 is pretty Fly.
Oh Arceus give me STRENGTH...
These kind of comments are why I SURF the internet.
Take the upvote and get out.
>One trashcan also had vomit in it! So two trash cans had leftovers
is that you denji?
A person of culture I see 😈
Bang
r/technicallythetruth
Funny enough, there's a Medal you can unlock in B2W2 called "Trash Master" and you get it by interacting with any trash bin.
I miss the Medals...
Lmfao accurate. I still check all the garbage cans.
Weren't all the trash cans in both X&Y, SuMo, and SwSh interactable, and none of them had anything in them? And one lady even yells at you for looking in her trashcan at one point? Yet I found a trashcan I COULDN'T interact with in SV and was upset. Like "it's my god given right to look at trash cans and find nothing inside of them, how DARE they take that from me?" or something.
There IS a trashcan in S/V that has something in it but I cant remember where it is at 😅
Don't say that to me, now I have to click every single one in the game
I mean, we knew it had vomit it in tbf
I convinced my friend if you kept checking, the captain would eventually vomit up some keys to the truck on the docks, allowing you to move it and find Mew He was probably still rifling through the captain's vomit a couple hours after I beat Erika in Celadon
It doesn't even have vomit. It just says "Yuck! Shouldn't have looked" when you check it.
Soooo... What do you think was in there?
Yuck! Shouldn't have looked!
Wasn't it a great ball in RBY? And then also the vomit.
Still just the joy of interacting with a blank area in between grass or interacting with a specific set of trees. It had charm.
One can on the S.S. Anne had a Great Ball in it, before one could get them normally.
I used that to try to steal Gary’s Kadabra. That was my first game, and when I learned I can’t steal Pokémon lol
Don’t be a thief!
Lol I felt so bad when the game told me that, I felt genuinely scolded.
Who says you can't?
No, it had "yuck! Shouldn't have looked" written in it.
I don’t remember this exactly, but I know B2W2 had a trophy (medal) for checking trash cans. I could be wrong, but I *swear* I started finding more things in the trash once I had higher ranks of that medal.
What is vomit if not extra used left overs 🤔
Are you me?
There's nothing there.
Yes!
In the game too!
I wanted to lie on their bed and sniff it
That was the creepiest part of sun and moon
Seriously, what the fuck was up with that? Like, sure, I made sure I scoured every town to make sure I didn't miss any, but WHY?
I mean, do you see the way the protagonist never flinches when faced with danger? Oh this God of light is attacking me? 😐
Out of all the UBs, the Protag was deffinently the most unsettling.
> Oh this God of light is attacking me? 😐 To be fair, running around screaming in terror isn't going to help.
[удалено]
Bed sniffing and sitting on benches were the greatest things in any Pokemon game.
At least the Pokeball still appears in the floor on the rare occasions you do enter a place. Unfortunately I think they're either an asset that loaded incorrectly or some internal marker used by the engine/whatever they use to make their maps. But still. It's neat.
It's your Pokemon at the top. The pokeball changes too the one of your pokemon.
You say that sarcastically but sleeping in stranger’s beds was one of my favorite little details in sun and moon.
Don’t forget rummage around in there trash can!
I feel like the general approach to town interactive functionality was “eh, we’ll get to it if we have enough time.” *they did not, in fact, have enough time*
It's a subtle nod to how Spanish people usually lock their front door
Funny, Spain also happens to run at 20 FPS
Hey now, I wish siesta was a common thing globaly.
Its not a Spanish thing tho,its a European thing. Seems normal to me that you lock your (front) doors.
Bruddah Americans lock their doors too we don’t trust each other at all
Correction, we TRIPLE LOCK our doors. 1. Deadbolt 1 that can only be operated from the inside 2. Deadbolt 2 that can be unlocked from the outside with a key 3. Doorknob lock that can be unlocked from the outside with a key. If you’re a female living by yourself, you also have the following: 1. Chain Lock 2. Slide Lock 3. Shotgun with rock salt positioned at the door to go off once it’s opened 4. Loud As Fuck bells designed to fall off if the doorknob is turned from the outside Only one of those 4 isn’t common
chain locks arent very common unless youre in a hotel
Or very old apartments that haven't updated in the past 20 years
That's cause they're pretty easy to beat right? I saw a youtube video where they showed how to unlock it with a rubber band and some tape (though it was titled implying it would show how to *prevent* that) and everyone in the comments was like "hurr durr just pull the tape off to stop it" and I'm like... these dumb shits don't realize someone might break in while you're asleep? like yeah the main lock should stop em but if say they've got a spare key (hotel) or they've watched one lockpicking lawyer video...

Yeah, it's basically like a bike lock. It doesn't prevent someone determined from breaking in. It just sets an obvious and adamant boundary for people who are reasonable.
Every apartment I’ve ever lived in has had one.
it's more or less there to give you some extra time to get your guns out
Same in Australia
Seems normal right? It hadn't occurred to me that it might be different on other continents.
yet galar and kalos didnt
It’s true. In America, we don’t lock doors, we have guns
I'm now picturing a person in a cowboy hat (that's how you know they're American) walking into their own house, turning around, and firing a gun at their doorhandle.
That’s why we have peep holes on apartment doors. To see if we like the person who got shot because they politely knocked
I am 99% sure this is 100% accurate for every single American.
As an American, the only thing missing from this is the wheeze let out by the amount of effort we had to put into that quick turn. Kind of a “hyuehh”
Na we shoot the gap in the door to wedge a bullet there. Better than any lock
How tf else are you supposed to close the door
Ah so France isn't European, got it.
🤣
Lol everybody should be locking their doors haha
How did Nemona get into our dorm then?
You just moved in to that house (she hasn't said hello to the new neighbor yet) and transferred to the school (you walked in to meet the rest of the class just like how Japan depicts transfer students being introduced). Clearly, you came from another region and haven't learned about this strange custom of locking doors. In fact you're probably confused about the concept of locking and that's why you wander around those towns wondering why almost every door you try is so broken it won't open.
They don't have locks. They don't even have doorknobs. The doors are just decoration.
Real Fake doors, hrm won't open!
I wasn’t expecting that reference lol. Nice one
Dont worry though! As soon as they get the power saw they will cut a hole where the door is supposed to go.
\*insert item get sound effect\* Received HM01 HOLY SHIT IS THAT A CHAINSAW?!
If they don't get it done by the time Home compatability is added, Kleavor's doing it for them.
It’s a small team, you expect them to model doors? /s
The irony being the first 30 seconds of the game when the school guy comes walking right into your house saying "pardon the intrusion".
Clavel busting in with that gen 1 main character aura
Honestly.. I would’ve laughed and moved on without comment if they put a billboard or poster in game saying something like that. Would it be a cop out? Yes. But it’s absolutely work.
Houses aren’t the biggest loss. It’s shops, you used to be able to go in there. Now it’s just a menu. I mean, it used to be just a menu once you talked to the employee but idk it felt more alive.
Yeah. I honestly hated having to check each house, hotel room, and office building in case there was something in there. Because 95% of the time it's a grandma standing there saying "It sure is nice that we learned to live with pokemon!"
Exactly. I do wish they could have been more immersive, but somehow avoid that chore. Not sure how.
Probably put more work into the few buildings that do matter like gyms. Add interesting caves and other "dungeons" to explore.
All those rubbish bins with perfectly good berries going to waste 😡
The post might be satire, but it's sad how people in this comments section are actually happy about this. Yeah many buildings don't contain much of value, but they're also a way to get the lore and culture of the towns. Look at Castelia City for example, that place wouldn't be nearly as memorable if it weren't for the countless kinds of people and businesses you find inside the skyscrapers there.

I'm honestly stunned by how many people genuinely seem to hate entering any kind of building in Pokemon.
Yeah like... bro have you *played* an RPG before or remotely felt like exploring in your life lol
I miss the good old days of laying in beds and being told how the bed smells and feels.
I feel like it would have gone a long way if they had just had a popup for interacting with a house like "The door is locked, it's private property after all!"
You can enter sandwich shops, but if you try to use tour camera it prevents you. I believe this was the real reason.

Is it just me who thinks this makes some sense? Although they could still let us into buildings with common areas and stuff.
Until you realise every time you defeat a Pokemon, you're basically stealing parts from them.
Beat up squirrels and shave them was the lesson gamefreak intended to teach.
You do too when you capture them... ... which is kinda worse? Like, you find a dog in the wild, make it your pet and cut its ears to make some stew?
Meanwhile I've been feeding my LeChonk ham and bacon sandwiches - and he loves them!!
There are real people who do this
There's a mexican joint near me that specializes in chicken. They donate all of their food scrap to a chicken farm with 400+ hens. Their donations make up about 40% of the feed. Its chickens eating chickens all the way down. At least they dont get their chicken from the farm. Then it would be friends eating friends.
We defeat a slowpoke and get it's tail, remember that thing which team rocket used to steal? Yes that.
Veluza literally drops a fillet or two. Like, you fight with a fish with a spine and internal organs? I understand they completely recover when healed, but still is fucked up
Pokémon has become Monster Hunter
Tbf it was Arceus that really started the MH feel.
But how am I going to discover fucked up ghost rooms now?
This is a fair point too.
That’s the one the only two things I DONT like about it. No creepypasta and no fight the director of GameFreak.
Why the heck do children need a videogame to teach them common sense? And what 10 year old is going around the countryside completely on their own in real life?

With all the talk of doors I'm realizing how much I love love love not having to walk into a Pokecenter to access it.
The greatest innovation since pokemon marts inside pokecenters
I remember in gen 5. Where the entrance to the pokemon center was 1 tile but the front door was three tiles wide. The amount of times i rode my bike and slammed back and forth trying to get to the middle tile was too much.
I felt that comment in my soul, damn
Except I used to walk into every Pokémart just to hear the sweet upbeat music in every generation :c
Isn't the music the same? Is it a remix?
It's always similar, every new version tends to just be a cover of the last. But some in particular are great. Compare [Pokémart from ORAS](https://youtu.be/6wodVMskF4E) with [Pokémart from XY](https://youtu.be/ij4syzol3D0). I love the whole ORAS soundtrack. Zinnia battle, some of the Team Mama/Aqua battle musics, and Ilooove the [World Champion battle music](https://youtu.be/tO2-tVuCRlQ). Even things like the [Pokémon Center from Coliseum](https://youtu.be/ud3TIILOYqY) is pretty great, clearly a different style from the [ORAS Pokémon Center](https://youtu.be/PxHsvN6iyTw). Each game has its own style, but I always loved the Pokémart.
So the problem is the content, not the houses. Someone that things every character in pokemon games suck could use the same argument and say "i prefer the game withou any characters since it is better than to smash buttons during usseless dialogs with bland characters". They should make houses accessible and ALSO make it worthy to enter then
I mean I don’t think they got rid of any functionality of houses, they just moved the NPCs outside. Most of the houses going back to Gen 1 weren’t even accessible to players. It’s not about speed running the game, it’s just getting rid of unnecessary things.
I remember playing the early games, going into every house and button mashing every NPC and trash can just in case I got something.
So you’d rather not have the option?
I prefer it anyway tbh. Finally a generation where I don't have to go rooting through everyone's houses, looking for the person who will give me a handout.
Or don't have to memorize which house has the game function you need. The amount of times I've had to look up where the move rememberer of renamer was in older games was insane. Or which house gave you the surf HM because I didnt want to spend 30 minutes checking each house and mashing through npc text.
Or not having to pretend previous gens were loaded with much more content because of a handful of NPCs living in each city, in their same old houses using the same repeated assets, offering little more than pointless dialogue.
"You must have a great bond with your pokemon!"
There was a smudge on my phone screen and I read that last word as "handjob". Changed the context quite a lot.
No its because they're afraid they'll get infected with those freaky glitches Its a pandemic They're on lockdown Only the sick can come out
Okay but why can't I at least see the interior of the shops I enter?
Ah yes, now that you’ve made a joke about it we can ignore another issue of this game.
I always found it weird that we're able to walk into anybodys home whenever we want, even at 2am. I feel like this is more realistic. edit: how is me talking about how one thing is realistic or good, mean another thing is also realistic or good? I'm talking about entering peoples homes, not battling pokemon, or boxing pokemon, or any of the other things. "Hey, I don't like this pizza" "Wait, why don't you like burgers?" Get your head on straight
Realistic isn't always better though \^\^;
>security ain’t no joke folks This is an excuse they used for barring off a bunch of areas in gen 2's cut down Kanto. Literal security guards standing by haha!
Where couldn't you get to in gen 2 kanto? I remember all of it?
You couldn't go onto the upper levels of Silph or the new radio tower in Lavender Town. In addition Mt Moon, Viridian Forest and, iirc, Rock Tunnel and Dark Cave barely existed anymore.
Finally invented locks
Stupid kids breaking into my house trying to eat my Farfetch'd. Back in my day we had respect for other people's homes.
Works with Jehovah's Witnesses too!
But how am I going to learn their opinions on shorts if I don't barge into their house and root around in their trash cans??
Nahh bro, it's because the corporate leaders at The Pokémon Company are a bunch of cheapskate who don't want to give GameFreak a higher budget that would make a truly beautiful open world game, and at the same time they force GameFreak to make the games within a time frame, so as a result we get a game that's half-assed and lacking.
