the lack of voice acting honestly hasn't even occurred in my mind *shrug*

but hey sure it'd be nice, although given the games flaws it's not a high priority for me

I said that back during Sword/Shield and I swear most people told me Pokemon didnt need shitty voice acting making it take longer to get through everything. Its just weird having these models and no voice acting whatsoever. Like they spent money to voice act all the promo stuff and itd be nice if the game had it lol

The thing is, the cutscenes in SwSh were timed as if there was voice acting. Which made the lack of voice acting even more apparent.

right, its a really glaring omission to me in scenes that are paced like actual cutscenes. Like all the Iono stuff has camera angles and shit as if it were a cutscene in a real video game, but its dead silent.

thought I could live w/o voice acting but it REALLY would have helped add some gravitas to the ending sequences if done well. kind of bummed overall that we don't have at least partial VO. we know they can afford it

GameFreak is not a huge company and obviously parts of it are not well managed. I'm sure they don't want to outsource the VO so maybe the idea of creating a VO department out of nothing is too daunting and/or time consuming at this point?

Pokemon has no VO for the same reason as bunch of other missing things: VO is just added costs that would result in no increase in revenue.

I also feel like it's time we get voice acting in mainline Pokemon games. I realize this would mean localization hell, but maybe just do Japanese/English first and see how that goes?

I wasn't annoyed by it, but this game showed much more ambition with the cutscenes etc and if they continue to do that, I might start to appreciate it.

That said, a recent Pokemon Go video featuring Jacq and Professor Willow got on my nerves slightly because of the... animeness of Willow's voice, so I'm ok without it for now.

not only that, they paid for Ai Fairouz to voice her, who couldnt have been that easy to get after / while voicing Jolyne in Jojo Part 6 and Power in Chainsawman

If memory serves, you can hear them cry out if you get hit. So you must have been pretty good at the game to never notice. I don't recall off hand if there were any other instances. Like they don't say any actual words.

Decided to go bug trainer (+cat starter) to make things a little more interesting, enough bug variety that you can have a fairly diverse team but have a feeling I'll need to use the crystal forms to change type to survive a few battles.

Also heads up, poison damage won't break wild pokemon out of their crystal form. Didn't have anything weak enough to not kill Jolteon so tried out poison. RIP Jolteon.

Enjoying the game, even though I'm still not over being stuck with orange pants.

Clodsire (what a doofus I love himb)
Talonflame
Espathra
Quaquaval
Lokix

Oh, only one non-Paldean Pokemon, that's not bad.

Talonflame is the weirdo that always covers the massive steel/fighting weakness i always end up having for some mysterious reason.

Nope, that was all just the bad luck. The RNG seed thing is online battles only.

Pretty close to the end of the game and my team is Skeledirge/Palafin/Bellibolt/Kingambit/Cyclizar/Hawlucha

I tried to use only new Pokemon but couldn't resist Hawlucha. There are a bunch of other new Pokemon I wanted to use as well, like Clodsire, Scovillain, Veluza, Dondozo, Baxcalibur, Killowattrel... there are a lot of good new Pokemon this gen imo. I might have to buy Violet and do another playthrough using the Pokemon that didn't make my team on Scarlet

a 3rd day a 3rd shiny stumble-upon, this time Summer Deerling while I was out hunting Applins for dex

I probably wouldn't have noticed if it wasn't in a group of other deerling, I even sent out a Lets Go pokemon to double-check it's shiny

looks like shiny sawsbuck is even less noticeable hrm

wild tho how much like I'm having to find one every day without chaining, without shiny charm, without shiny sandwiches

It's pretty rare but I found them being easier to find early at the olive roll field by the weakest gym. Walking around there more often had one spawn than not.

When one of the questions asked which gym leader with the most difficult, I suspected that person might show up as part of the Elite Four. But, that didn't happen. It wouldn't really work out typewise. 8 Gym Leaders + 5 Team Star Leaders + Elite 4 + Champion are needed to cover all 18 types

Wait, so Geeta is considered a Rock-type trainer in this scenario? I know her ace is Glimmora with Rock Terra type, but the rest of the team isn't.

Yeah I actually looked it up after TRE's post - I think we had the same thought. She's not a rock specialist at all, none of her Pokemon have the same type. However, by "cover all types" I think TRE meant Tera types, which is true.

I mean, Larry showed up with a different type, so they could've had whoever you answered show up as the Flying type specialist instead.

Made it to the credits! The last stretch was darn good, but it was the only time the lack of voice acting bothered me when the crew was chatting in the field and I had to read it while walking or stop

Fantastic game under all the performance issues and glitches. Wish they would have taken the time to polish it because it could be an all-timer for me personally
