If you missed my blog from last week, I would recommend reading that first as this is a continuation of that. With that being said, let’s dive in. Ok, so another controversial topic is the introduction of Dynamaxing and Gigantimaxing. Personally, I think it’s something that makes the Galar region unique; at least if it stays there but it may go on to other regions in the future. I think this component is a nice blend of Mega Evolution and a Z Moves. It is more balanced I think, and although not all Pokemon get a new Gigantimax form, all Pokemon can Dynamax, and it only lasts’ 3 turns, so it is not a destroy everything button. I also like the wild battles where you can take on these powerful ‘mons, it kind of reminds me of Raid Battles in Pokemon GO, yes I still play it, I know I know.
Now the starter I chose was Scorebunny, and let me tell you that was the right choice, Cinderace looks amazing and is so full of personality. Defiantly the cleanest looking of the final starter forms in my opinion. The design is absolutely perfect. While the middle stage, Raboot is a bit awkward looking, that is common for middle starters and so not really a problem. Also, I think it’s kind of a “teenager” form, where it is supposed to be awkward but I don’t know that’s just my take on it.
I won’t spoil the ending of the game for those of you who have not played it but it sure is a wild ride. The lore of the region is very immersive and you feel as though you really are a part of the game, not just like you are sitting there watching it. You really feel the mystique of the Slumbering Wield and the legendary guardians who live there; quietly protecting the forest.
I am currently playing the Dojo DLC (I forgot the name, I’m bad with names); I think it’s called the Isle of Armor. So far it is going pretty well, except when I accidentally knock out a Pokemon I want to catch, that’s always annoying. Right now I’m stuck trying to find where to take my Kubfo, the island place I can’t seem to get to, so if you know I’d love a little help. Anyways, Until I complete the DLCs I think these are pretty much my opinions on the game; I may do a more detailed character analysis if that is something that is wanted. Well, I hope you learned something at least, see you in the next blog.
This was an entertaining piece! Your voice really shines through here and it’s always nice to read works about subjects the writer truly cares about.
