"BRILLIANT DIAMOND AND SHINING PEARL ARE BAD GAMES"

What the fuck did they do to Kricketot? Why doesn't it start with Bide? I catch the little shit to use and it starts with Pound, what is this shit. What am I supposed to do with this?Why would they change such a core element of Kricketot, ruining a vital piece of it's identity. Without Bide what even is Kricketot? Bide is the building block for the story of the Sinnoh games, the building blocks for Kricketot's character for the later parts of the game.Without Bide Kricketot's character struggle are severely undermined, gone completely is the hardship that builds up his resentment and darkness in his soul. Without Bide the betrayal in the 3rd Act of the story is just a flash in the pan, it comes out of nowhere and the significance is lost.And you know the developers realized they messed up because they gave Kricketot Struggle Bug at level 6 now. Completely missing the nuance of Bide in favor of throwing it in your face "STRUGGLE" "BUG", oh wow I wonder if Kricketot's character arc is gonna be about it's struggle as a bug type.When Kricketot finally betrayed the group and handed us towards Cyrus I felt almost nothing. Even as he killed Lucario I was just more upset that new players wouldn't be experiencing the game how it was intended in 2006. The betrayal just felt out of left field and it didn't need to be that way if they just left Kricketot with Bide.After playing for 12 hours that day and banishing Kricketot to the Distortion world I just felt tired. What should've been the emotional climax with my starter felt flat.I can only hope this patched out because as it stands the games are not worth the purchase price. via /r/pokemon https://ift.tt/3oLRo1h
