I chose Violet because even though I like dinosaurs slightly more than robots, I like Miraidon more than Koraidon and the Uva uniform is enby flag colours.

Shut up that's a good reason.

Scarlets paradox Pokemon are better IMO but I'm more into the idea of utopian future than romanticising the past.

Spoiler:

spoilerHere's hoping Turo's AI got transported to a FALGSC future and not a Bitcoin one lol.

pirate-jammin yohoho

Did you have any preference tho?

[–] Teekeeus@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

I prefer koraidon and the ancient paradoxes. I also prefer the orange uniforms tbh

Scarlet wins even though violet has dreepy

I picked scarlet because i like dinosaurs more than robots and i always really liked the fossil pokemon from previous games and i liked great tusk and roaring moon, also scarlet had tyranitar

[–] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

I totally legitimately acquired Scarlet. For the hot cavewoman chic professor

[–] dannoffs@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

I got violet entirely on vibes.

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

Violet, because even though I like prehistoric jigglypuff, I like robots more

Plus Ceruledge looks cooler

I got scarlet because idk. I didn't think too much about it. I liked koraidons design more than miraidon and dinosaur bikes made me think of the clunky wheel animals from the Subtle Knife. In hindsight, Violet kinda had the better designs overall

[–] PointAndClique@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I didn't look at the version exclusives before buying though. If I had, then Iron Moth would have been the clincher for getting Violet

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Haha so we chose the the exact opposite reasons lmao

Iron moth

Easily the best of the future Pokemon

[–] PointAndClique@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

Honestly it could be a box legendary and it wouldn't look out of place. You WILL see it on the box. You WILL revere the bug Pokemon.

violet cos i thought the running bike looked dumb

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I played Pokemon: Dad. While I really like Cavemommy, I figured for trading efficiency I'd go with the Chad. The only thing I'm particularly sad to miss out on is the Misdrevus redesign in the other game.

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah Sada has a really cool design.

The paradox Pokemon I'm most jealous of are the Johto trio dinosaurs

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I didn't buy the DLC, but they do look cool. The character and monster design was the best yet, but the frame rate issues and garbage shading (an issue when you remove the shiny sparkle) made me just kinda give up on future installments.

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

True enough. Although I do recommend the DLC if you can pirate it. It's pretty good.

[–] Moss@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

I picked violet because I didn't know that scarlet would have all the awesome prehistoric mons which are way cooler than generic robots. Violet just has metal delibird and scarlet has flutter mane and koraidon and roaring moon and scream tail. The only cool future paradox is Iron Valiant (which is extremely cool tbf)
