A Sick Boy rants about stuff (random) · 3:38am Jun 22nd, 2021
Yo, it’s ya Boi here with... I still don’t feel well. My head’s fuzzy and it’s been hard to really focus on anything. At least I’m not feeling as bad as last week. Covid’s weird. Anyway, I can’t sleep and I wanna rant. Future me will decide whether or not to post it later.

So... art styles. Can someone explain to me why a cartoonish or pixelated style is inherently bad for some people? I’ve seen people hold cartoony or retro styles the same way most people regard their opinions of pineapple on pizza. They hate them the moment they see them. For instance, I was talking about Celeste with someone the other day and they looked it up before saying “I can’t seem to find the latest version, but there’s a lot of people who seem to like the 90’s version.” I said “No, that’s the game, it’s supposed to be retro.” And this motherfucker said “What? That’s stupid. It’s all pixelated, cheapskates.” I have never hung up so fast before in my life. Same goes for cartoony styles. Granted, I’m not saying all cartoon styles are good, but I certainly can’t say they’re all bad. I mean, come on, what about Disney’s old movies? What about Kipo? What about fuckin’ One Piece for crying out loud! Some banger art styles all around! And yet, I’ve heard plenty of people say that they can’t take it seriously and it’s like “Well, if you took your head outta your ass more often, I’d take you seriously too.” But oh well...

Okay, Pokemon. It’s no secret I love Pokémon. But when I heard of Pokémon Unite, I had to stop and breathe for a bit out of horror. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve looked at the game more and thought “okay it’s actually pretty neato.” I got worried because when I heard “It’s essentially like a Pokémon version of League of Legends”, I got flashbacks to so many rage quits from people I’ve watched play the game. To be fair, I think Pokémon LoL is a cool idea, and probably works masterfully well! In fact, I’ve fallen more in love with the game when I saw it’s trailers.
I heard a lot of people had complained and said that “No one cares! We want the main game! Nah nah nah-“ Shut the fuck up. Most of my favorite Pokémon games are spin-offs (Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games). Although I do want some more info on Pokémon’s main games like the remasters and Legends Arceus, I am still willing to welcome new ideas and games to come out. Also, Unite comes out pretty soon, so it doesn’t matter if no one wants it now, it’s too close to the deadline to turn back. In other words, shut the fuck up Twitter.
Last thing about Pokémon, it’s the remaster. Most people hate the chibis and I just... I don’t care. Really, the only thing it makes me think of is Legend of Zelda’s latest remaster. No, not Skyward Sword, the last one. The one with the giant egg? Yeah, that one. I mean, sure, I felt like they could’ve done a bit better with the over world models and the in battle models, but I also realize that it will still essentially be Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, but with an... interesting coat of paint.
Extra bit: Seriously, I can’t stop thinking this was made by the same people who worked on Legend of Zelda:
Dreamwaker (Nope)
Dreammaker (Nope)
Wind Waker (Not even the same fucking game)
Fuck it- egg maker? (Fuck no.)
Awakening (close)
Link’s Awakening (There you go)
