This is what an open-world pokemon game should have been. Not the buggy disappointing mess GameFreak gave us for 2 generations.

No. Pokemon itself is definitely kidnapping and dog fighting. But at least it's cute and they disguise it a bit. This game seems (I haven't played yet, may check it out on GP) to throw off the veil and that squicks me out a bit.

Honestly if it wasn't for the Pokeball-horror, the fighting aspect would be more tolerable. It could then be pushed that you convinced pokemon to fight with you and they live good lives the rest of the time. Instead of either being in a state of stasis with the only thing they know is fighting, or being in literal prison when not fighting.

Nobody tell this guy about Rimworld

[–] Neato@ttrpg.network 3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Heh, I played it. But being super evil in that is very risky unless you have the (I forget?) psychopath trait. It's generally easier to be good in Rimworld for the shallow-end amount I've played it.

With the Ideology DLC you can have a whole colony of monsters!

A nomadic group of nudist cannibals? Go right ahead!

A matriarchal society where men are property and must where burkas? Yes.

Cave dwelling mushroom eaters with an eye gouging ritual since they all crave to be blind. Absolutely!

And that's all without the families and babies DLC!
