Something I noticed while playing Fantasy Life i is that a lot of games now follow a ‘tell not show’ format instead of the ‘Show don’t Tell’. I noticed it early on in the game but it really sunk in after (spoilers) Rem gets kidnapped and Ronoah freaks out. Because we don’t see it. We hear about it - the palace is closed. Apparently Ronoah is absolutely freaking out. But we don’t see it.

Apart of what made older games so interesting was that we did see stuff like that and it made sense. Ronoah is a protective older brother and we were the last people to spend time with Rem. He already threatened us once - why didn’t we get summoned to the castle? And where was Aeshan during this? What excuse did he make for returning without Rem? Did he return?

There was nothing. And nothing was mentioned afterwards either.

It’s not just the new Fantasy Life game either. A lot of other games and shows and movies follow the same trend now.

I just really miss the little pieces where we were shown what’s going on. Where we see the characters react, see what’s happening and how things get to where they’re going. But it’s like no one has the patience for that anymore and just want to get things done. To reach the finish line as quick as possible.

What happened to characters actually having character?

Been replaying Sword and Shield and it’s crazy to realize how little I paid attention to this game and seeing how little I remember. And realizing just how much was brought over to Scarlet and Violet. I thought I had a pretty decent recall of Sword/Shield only to realize I actually remember very little about the game and it’s mechanics.

Camping, curry - brought us Picnics and sandwiches ( I think I like camping better. Though I like the egg basket from Scarlet/Violet more than the nursery’s from previous games). And Sword and Shield was the first ones to have Pokemon out in the over world (I think).

The gym challenges, inspired by Sun and Moon’s trials and then tweaked for Sword and Shield and later, Scarlet and Violet. The absolute Hype during the gym battles themselves - like we’re really participating in a competition, broadcasted over Galar with fans and crowds. It’s just really cool. I mean, that’s what the gym challenge is, isn’t it? A competition. And this is the first game that really made it feel that way.

The beginning of an open world, later expanded in Arceus and then again in Scarlet and Violet. It’s all just so cool to realize how much Sword and Shield paved the way for later games. And I know that can be said about earlier Pokemon games, like Diamond and Pearl or Sun and Moon but it just hits different for Sword and Shield. Or maybe that’s just me.

Anyway, that’s just some of my thoughts as I replay the first Pokemon game on the Switch. Without it, we wouldn’t have the games we have now and I think that’s cool to remember.

So I've recently been moving my Husian Pokemon over to my Scarlet file and I have came up with a few reasons why previously extinct Pokemon are now running around in modern times:

1. (Scarlet specific) professor Sada brought them to the present like she did with the Paradox Pokemon

2. Pokemon have been proven to remain alive for decades in their Pokeballs (in the anime). Possibly a couple remained intact and were then put into a breeding program

3. Fossils. Debatable since all fossils Pokemon are part rock (probably due to the fossilization process.

4. Pure Pokemon fuckery

What if you could find the Divine Beasts in the Depths?

You’re in this dark, alien environment, strange noises echoing around you, the inescapable anxiety your only companion. Squinting in the distance, you see a frighteningly familiar shade of blue flicker, faint in the distance.

Cautiously moving forward, you begin to realise the blue belongs to something much, much larger than a possible guardian. Eventually, an ancient behemoth looms overhead, still, silent, and empty, both at rest and unnervingly calm. A strange, restless melancholy replaces the sense of creeping dread, no less uneasy than before.

Entering the resting stone, in the corner of your eyes, you see movement flicker. At first you think a spirit, perhaps the Champions still linger… but deep down you know they’ve passed on… right?

Echoing footsteps fill the silence as you press on, avoiding gloom where there had once been malice, a desecration of a sacred resting place. You see the flicker again, turn on your foot and see for a split second, a beloved friend, an uneasy rival, a stalwart protector, a steadfast leader, an ally, a painful reminder of your worst failure. Even now, years later, it stings.

You try to get their attention, but there is no response. Instead, you watch. And realise. And mourn again. There are no spirits here. Not in the vast, decaying depths, not in the final resting places of a final hope.

These are echoes of the ones you knew. You can see them in the corner of your eyes sometimes, going about preparations for that ill-fated battle. It’s eerie, made no better by the Grand Poes gently swaying, their locations random but making uncomfortable sense.

Sometimes, on unlucky days, it is not preparations that these echoes go through. Pain torn screams faintly heard as their final moments are played out, a play on an eerie stage.

Vah Medoh groans in the dark, as the image of her pilot slams limply on her back, wing torn, and struggles to get up, defiance in his glare even now.

Vah Ruta cries a warning, as her pilot slumps over the controls, never seeing her killer, her last thought to warn the others.

Vah Rudania braces herself, as the echo of her pilot does the same, but the shield shatters, a flash of phantom heat coating the area, followed by darkness.

Vah Nabooris strides steady, until her pilot, fatigued from a relentless assualt, makes one fatal misstep in her final dance, lightning crackling in the air.

The stone beasts are restless, aware of the new threat, and unable to let go of the last pilots they’ll ever have, desperately trying to fight once more. But instead, they lay still, silent, a monument to their pilots lost to time.

What if you could find the Divine Beasts in the Depths?

Little cute idea for an au where Sada/Turo (In this case Sada ‘cause I played Scarlet) Leaves Arven with Clavell instead of just leaving him on his own and Clavell basically adopt him and is very pissed at his dear friend because, what the fuck that’s your son.

Finally done with this mini comic! (I just want these two to interact)
