#also the whole thing where Legends was ball-crushingly difficult especially in the postgame

[carcharadroid]

anyway finally playing Pokemon Scarlet

It's already solved a few of my biggest gripes I had with SwSh, like how in that game I felt like pretty much every major thing aside from the finale got taken care of off-camera by the champion. Hell they almost seem to be over-apologizing for that in SV by giving you two extra questlines on top of the usual Pokemon League thing

Also finding it at least a bit more difficult than SwSh, which is nice. They've also gotten better at the placement of wild pokemon wandering around the overworld. It's a lot less awkward and jarring than it was in SwSh, more in line with what they did in Legends Arceus

Having fun with it! Still not as good as Legends Arceus though and I am literally here on my knees begging and pleading for Gamefreak to give pokemon back their license to kill, because the threat of my player character getting bodied by pissed off wild pokemon made that game the absolute most fun I've had in a pokemon game in way too long
