Red Leader

Hmm.... the wise-cracking Spider-Man versus the cracking-wise Deadpool? I foresee a hilariously awesome boss battle.

Ah, the continued trend of female fighting game characters with little else but sex appeal to define who or what they are.

Schoolgirl squirrel girl that fights in an outfit ripped straight off a stripper? Showing some real depth there, Arc System Works.

You're lucky it's a legitimately good series, because I'm getting really tired of all these redundant sexy female characters. There's ALREADY so bloody many of them do we really need any MORE?

Anakin Skywalker has the ugliest Lego face ever made.

"Man, this is the most comfortable wall I've ever leaned agains-"

(Whoops, meant to post it here.)

True, with EV points, breeding, abilities, and a lot of other nice additions . . .

. . . but why do they still have two separate menus for Withdrawing and Depositing Pokemon into my PC? You manage hundreds of Pokemon during the game: why have they not allowed me to do both without having to waste time switching between the two? In fact, why do they have 4 different menus (Withdraw, Deposit, Move, Items) when all are basically the same screens with the same options and UI space demands?

Why is the inventory system so tedious to navigate, and doesn't permit automatic sorting or according to groups for your misc items (the largest batch of items you can hold)?

Why do I have to watch the ENTIRE HP bar fill up in real time (ie. slowly) every time I give a Pokemon with 200+ health a potion?

Why do they ask me if I want to overwrite my existing save file after already consenting to saving when there is only save file begin with? You have no choice but to overwrite an existing save file!

All these issues are basic design issues that have persisted since the early generations of the franchise. Great, they've added tons and tons of Berries, but they still can't perfect a menu system! I'm pretty sure some of these design choices in UI design would get a guy fired from the game company where I work.

I've been following this pretty closely, and it seems like they've only made aesthetic changes so far . . . nothing major different in the mechanics. This worries me, as so much of the game's design (interface, progression, etc.) hasn't changed much in 15 years, and not for the better . . .

Man, I hope they're just not Dragon/Flying or something that's got a double weakness to Ice. Seems like half the damn Legendaries in the games are weak against Ice . . .

SHHH! Don't say that, Nintendo might hear you and think it's a good idea!

He's good for one last joke . . . I'm proud that it'll be a game, and a game worthy of having him.
