I mean, they shoehorned it into a completely different region
didn't explain why it was there
left its connection to Xerneas and Yveltal unexplained
and gave it virtually no plot relevance whatsoever.
That definitely qualifies as half-assed, the whole situation just reeks of "we needed to do something with Zygarde without giving it proper focus".
Really though, it's Kalos that's half-assed more so than Zygarde. Not having any kind of followup whatsoever left it a barren region with virtually nothing to do, a half-baked storyline with tons of question marks and plotholes, and in general a lot of room for improvement that ultimately never happened. Alola doesn't really have that problem, there's a few areas that do look like they could be explored and a few loose ends in the plot, but nothing compared to the amount of things Kalos left open ended. There's a whole laundry list of things in Kalos, ranging from the region design to the Pokemon forms to the storyline that felt like they were building up to something more and as is the region just feels cut short.
Not that there's anything inherently wrong with that, and as I said, it fits the concept of Alola being a delicate environment. It has more relevance to Alola than the likes of Heatran and Cresselia have to their own native region.
Which I did say was dumb. I mean, it's not hard to figure out (probably there because of the Ultra Beasts; the dialogue where Sina and Dexio suspect that its presence suggests something is going to happen soon is positioned shortly before Lusamine uses Cosmog to open up all of those wormholes; just put two and two together), but I would have liked a follow-up comment when we meet them on Poni Island. That being said, such a follow-up comment would likely have been a mere line or two of dialogue. I'd feel a bit silly if I were to get too worked up over that.
As if it needed to be explained. Everybody had already figured it out. It's the "Order" Pokémon, and is positioned between the Pokémon of Life and Death, whose auras it can reverse. Gee, I wonder what it's relationship to them could possibly be.
If "proper focus" means spending a whole game just to show that XY&Z is more-or-less canonical in the games too, then I say thank god they skipped it, really.
You and I have had this conversation several times now. Before I commit to a further response, I have to ask, is it necessary? I think we both can predict how it will unfold.
You know, like a Z game.
@The_Doctor them needing a lot of man power to get it done by 2019 doesn't seem like a possibility to you? Or even them wanting to play it safe after the Wii U being delayland?
Don't you think moving to Gen VIII is too soon, I mean Gen VII just started with Sun/Moon.
We'll probably see Gen VIII in 2018/2019.
o you mean an actual Z thread, or the " Gen VI: the future" thread?
But if you look carefully, it's not only the color that was changed.I', still not sure about Marshadow getting a new form. It already has a special Z move and I can't imagine them giving it a form change on top of that. I wanna say maybe the green coloring is it's "form change" rather than an actual change in it's general appearance. I could be wrong tho.
anything alola related right now
On top of the Marshadow business, Junichi Masuda AND TPC retweeted a Japanese Switch commercial, which is the first time they've retweeted anything Switch related.
But if you look carefully, it's not only the color that was changed.
Marshadow's new image has a different eye shape and Z shaped eyebrows.
I think Z forms are going to be a thing.
Remember how the Riddler said that some things he saw were scrapped?
And remember how the Chinese leak said that "the logo diamonds are what that makes Greninja change forms."
And how the Japanese 2ch leak said that there are Z forms?
I think Z forms will be in the next games.
Tbh I don't know what we'll expecting because I expect the next game
I meant I don't know what game we're expectingThis sentence doesn't make sense...
I meant I don't know what game we're expecting
Movie stuff but probably relevant.
It says something like "Could this Marshadow be the key of the adventure?"
"During battle, parts of the body turns green"
Yes. Looks like this is true.i think the green coloration is just when it uses attacks, so its just purely aesthetic (kind of like how typhlosion's sprite in gen 6/7 only expels fire from its neck when attacking)
Maybe Marshadow shocking information is the Z-move (Soul-Stealing 7-Star Strike) changes his forms
