These folks have clearly made their decision and hold firmly to the opinion that the number of Pokemon visible and catchable is not only the primary criteria for a new entrys quality but perhaps the only criteria.

Pokemon variety is honestly a huge criteria for me. I want different pokemon around every corner, not the equivalent of Rattatas and Zubats everywhere. That matters a lot more to me than giant pokemon or the postgame plot.

Granted, I'm not up in arms about the limited dex because it's not about the raw number of pokemon, it's about their in-game use. You could have a 400-pokemon game with a great spread, or a full pokedex game that severely underutilizes them. But yeah I don't think it's silly to think the number of pokemon visible and catchable is a big deal.

The second 'i' sounds like the 'i' in "pick" or "rift" etc.

As opposed to a long e sound

Oh, yeah, that makes sense

But if I say it fast there's hardly any difference anyway

I really wonder where most people quit playing the series when they list Pokmon that got evolutions in a later Gen, Megas or regional variants. Paras and Venonat lines are the best answers so far really

Tangrowth is even less memorable than Tangela tbh. no added value there

Tauros/Kangaskhan/Farfetch'd/Mr. Mime are all regionals in Pokemon Go so they're pretty memorable.

I personally remember Dewgong because Pokewars is obnoxious about backing it in every pokemon contest, but objectively it's a reasonable answer

I can't think of any game I'd say "this wasn't fun but I valued the experience."

There are games I like with lackluster gameplay but good story/characters/atmosphere that make up for it. But even there, I'm saying the parts I enjoyed outweigh the parts I didn't enjoy.

Consider the simple beauty of imperfection. God is perfect, and in Him we do look up. But our beautiful planet is ripe with the kind of imperfections which make life zesty. The Revolver is one such imperfection. What's wrong about it? Well, I once held a terrific replica of the Revolver at a flea market and I accidentally slapped myself in the face with the metal chain dangerously dangling from its handled hilt. Needless to say, the fault was not my own.

now this is cinema

I think his thesis here is that Marvel movies aren't "cinema" because there are no emotional stakes in them.

Nelson_Mandela posted...

Let me pose a question to the topic then: is there a single blockbuster comic book movie post-TDK trilogy that is not vetted through audience testing? Is there a single one that is controlled by an auteur who is making all final creative decisions, research and studio be damned?

These are two pretty different critiques that are being conflated here.

From a creator POV, it's true that Marvel blockbusters are made by committee based on existing source material, and will never represent a single individual's burning creative vision.

But from an audience POV, it doesn't mean the movies have "no emotional stakes." Or to quote from the article:

[Cinema] was about characters the complexity of people and their contradictory and sometimes paradoxical natures, the way they can hurt one another and love one another and suddenly come face to face with themselves.

You don't need a single creative vision to accomplish that. It's basically a non sequitur. You could have an auteur who wants to make a sweet thrill ride of a movie, or you could have a committee who jointly decides to create something character-centric and emotionally meaningful.

I am not sure FFVI is really weak though. But maybe I am wrong.

I feel like Kefka is probably the strongest finalist we have left. Or maybe Squall. It would be Auron except he's got that repeat-winner stigma on him.
