Pokemon Lupin and Patren for the Gameboy Color

[ID: a series of fake screenshots in the style of Gen II Pokemon. the first image is of the link battle VS screen, with the player names set to the trainer classes "PHTM Thief" and "GSPO Officer."

the next three are gifs, cycling through fake battle screens and showing off trainer sprites and back sprites for Kairi, Touma, Umika, Keiichiro, Sakuya, Tsukasa, Noël, Gauche, and Zamigo (the latter two only having trainer sprites).

the next two show overworld sprites of Keiichiro walking around the GSPO office. in the first, he is standing in front of a desk, and the textbox says "Sakuya's desk. It's a mess." Jim Carter can be seen to the side. in the second, he is looking at a poster next to his own desk. the textbox says "It's a poster of the PHTM Thieves."

the next two show overworld sprites of Kairi walking around Bistrot Jurer. in the first, he is walking away from the stairs, and Touma and Umika can be seen behind the counters. in the second, he is walking between tables.

the next two are of Noël standing in Kairi's room. he is looking at a picture frame on the desk, and the textbox says "It's a photo of a young man hugging a child...they look familiar...

the last image is a gif of a dex entry for an orange and red Shaymin, flipping between its land and sky forms. the entry reads "An excitable, odd-colored Shaymin. Its form seems to change depending on its current company. /END ID]

do u think prsk writing is good?

it's inconsistent. sometimes it's pretty good, sometimes it's not so good. this is something i would like to go way more indepth on but i don't think i'll have the time for a while, but i'll outline a few things here.

honestly early events are much stronger than some more recent ones. partially this is preference on my part due to preferring more character driven stuff which most early events were, but also in general the writing was much higher quality.

most year one events had a very strong sense of flow between them that has been lost over time. while events usually revolved around one character's issues, they would introduce aspects of the other characters and their issues which would be focused on later. if you read wonder halloween you'll notice there's foreshadowing for emu's arc across smile of dreamer and wonder magical showtime. this is partially because of the fact the events were so early on. we weren't as familiar with the characters as we are now and we were also new to the plots. you can also see how much more cohesive stories were back then as well because of there being way more mixed events marked as key story, like twilight parade and sakura for ln and picnic for n25. while most events still pick up from where the previous left off the sense of flow for most units just isn't felt as strongly as it was going through, say, l/n arc 1.

it also in some ways feels like the writers had a much stronger vision for early events than they do now, though distribution meta may come into play a bit. first arcs were the ones planned from the getgo. this is what they had already planned ahead for by launch. pretty much everything past year 1 was written after the game launched. we know they have a clear end, and it's evident they also had a clear start. we're currently filling in the middle and some events really feel like there's a slight lack of vision for the middle. vbs is a good aversion what with rad weekend having happened (aside from arata and souma's arcs lmfao), but other units and characters feel shafted.

to add to that last point as well as distribution meta. tsukasa5 is arguably one of the hardest hit. what seems to have happened is that they needed a second wxs event to focus on daigo's troupe, and tsukasa is the character who is most fitting for that troupe's speciality. unfortunately in order to come up with the actual plot, they had to retcon elements of tsukasa's character. tsukasa5 overall is probably one of the worst written of the recent events. it's really rough and doesn't make sense in some parts. it truly just exists bc they needed a wxs event with daigo and a wxs event in that slot.

kanade is another character who got hit hard. while she had the white day event in 2024, she was heavily shafted in terms of n25's story due to the focus being on mizuki and ena for half the year. mafuyu and ena's events were also very focused on them as individuals, leading to kanade getting like no character development for a year.

for non-2024 examples the 2nd arc enders were a mixed bag. step by step is very clearly a shoe-in because they needed to pad for time. retie functions perfectly well as an arc ender and reads like one in a few places, especially near the end. while minori had some good moments in this event it honestly feels like a mixed event. hell look at the banner card. shizuku and airi are also only in this event for a few lines of dialogue it's really rough.

oyf is incredibly rushed and tries to wrap up way too many loose ends from lutf. it feels like this arc was cut short, and you can really feel it in arc 3 when all the loose ends that still existed after oyf get their proper conclusion. side characters barring kotaro excluded, tatsuya and gurney flap had the shittest resolutions ever (tatsuya is also. barely a character lol). kohane had some good moments here, but other than that it was a really weak event.

same can be said for ohe they really needed more time and it's painfully obvious considering how much foreshadowing they did with rui only for... him to get one chapter in an emu event. there's some other things that really make this feel like it was meant to be rui or be two events one rui one emu, like the travelling troupe show. remember when rui wrote that show about his life and wxs rewrote it to show him he had a place with them. clpl doesn't. obviously it's always been important to all of them but it's significance to rui specifically has always been highlighted for obvious reasons. hell it was even mentioned in wxs first live like a couple weeks before this event dropped. while again this has good emu moments and good wxs moments it's painfully obvious at points that this was either a rui focus at one point or they combined two events. i wonder if part of the reason for that is because they realised that rui graduates at the end of the next arc so "wxs disbandment arc 2" (tentative name) will probably be more centered around him, especially with asahi's return looming over the story, and they didn't wanna make it seem like they did the same character arc with him twice.

sayonara persona and starry song are fine.

clpl really fucked themselves over with wles and the event schedule lol.

another issue with the writing from a technical standpoint is that recent events have really obnoxious exposition. listen i know we all make fun of people who only read chapter 1 and 8 of an event but did you know that actually works. you can sometimes even just read chapter 8. there's this need to constantly remind the player of stuff that happened earlier on in the event, sometimes in gratuitous detail, and i can understand why this might be necessary for the really long events like lutf or curtain call, but most events since 3rd anni have been under 1hr 30, in most cases just over an hour. the player can retain significant events that happened in the previous chapter. we don't need it constantly explained and it can actually make the audience less engaged if you constantly treat them like they don't understand what's going on. even for a game aimed at the tween/teen demographic you don't need to handhold them through the story. while yes younger audiences won't have the same literacy as an adult you should also trust that they can follow the basic story and read into basic subtext (honestly prsk is usually fine with subtext this is just an example).

"outline a few things" my ass this is pretty much everything i wanted to say. i do games writing next year and i think we cover VNs so maybe i can provide more insight then if the blog isn't dead.

(obligatory i'm not saying you can't like the events i outlined here i'm just saying that from an objective standpoint they're not the best. doesn't mean you can't find enjoyment in them. like whatever you want i'm not here to dictate your opinions)

alright guys it’s time for me to yap about my transfem tsukasa headcanon. you’re welcome :)

ok so my favorite idea for how tsukasa figures things out in regards to their gender is via wonderlands x showtime (or the theater club that tsukasa is in, either works) doing a show with either a prominent female lead in it or with multiple female lead parts. tsukasa either decides to play one of the female parts either of their own accord, or in the case of wonderlands x showtime doing the show, via emu somehow convincing tsukasa to do it.

upon the course of doing the show, tsukasa realizes that they’re far more comfortable playing this role than how they feel currently in real life. and bam. gender identity crisis time.

Uurhghhh something something dystopian society with a hidden resistance organisation who try to take down the system with their newest member Rui who is still not in on everything, agent "Mermaid" who recruits him as one of the organisation's higher-ups, agent "Phoenix" who gets sent on sabotage missions with him, agent "Pegasus" who seems just a little bit suspicious to Rui and the beloved by society "propaganda" idol Tsukasa Tenma as Rui's most beloathed supporter of the corrupted system (or is he...?)

I'm not sure if this counts as a fact kind of thing but do you know why certain characters don't have trust ranks with each other? I noticed An and Kohane can't have a trust rank with KAITO and same with Len and all of Nightcord even though they've met him. Does this have to do with my own levels or is there some other reason?

No it’s nothing to do with you, it’s just done based on updates. Loads of kizuna will get added to EN at the end of the month in the big anniversary update, which I’ll put here

The order they’re added in is pretty odd to say the least. For example, Shizuku and Tsukasa got kizuna ranks with Leo/need and each other despite not interacting with any of those characters that often at the time (aside from their siblings). I will reiterate this. Shizuku and Tsukasa, who got their kizuna rank after they interacted once very briefly in Haruka’s new years event and revealed they were acquainted as kids, got their kizuna before Ichika/Nene, BFST quartet, Picnic quartet, Toya wedding trio, An wedding quartet, White Day trio, kamikou 1-B, and Emu/Mafuyu and before Rin got a kizuna with anyone from WxS, despite being in that SEKAI since the Welcome Show.

These ^ are the ones to be added afterwards, in late march, late may, and late august next year. I’m sort of surprised Haruka and Shiho only just got one since they’ve interacted quite a bit before now.

Some more significant relationships still don't have kizuna, so I reckon we might get quite a few at 3rd anni. Probably a lot of Vsinger ones.
