Released Tales of the Outskirt Stand

This game has a way of just dragging you in from the very first second XD The premise is interesting and the animations are drop-dead gorgeous. I was just 10 minutes in watching Folly switching sides. Just the right amount of drama to keep you on the edge of your seat, the pacing is fantastic here.

But giving me the ability to steal people's Pokémon is not, I finish most games (even originals like Pokémon FireRed) with 5 Pokémon because I'm picky. this game made me fill up 2 boxes with stolen Pokémon what have you done to me I feel like a Team Rocket grunt. Forget the cipher boss guy, we are the real villain here XD I don't even need a rattata I just caught it because someone else had it </3

Back to the pacing though, getting a Poipole, learning the guys are opening space cracks then immediately watching Folly fight with his dad was really entertaining. I love how the subplots with different stakes are handled. It leaves you time to breathe and ponder what's next. (also did we notice an old guy jump in the wormhole at the end???)

And the custom lines? Like when you fight with Willie for the snag machine, the text reads 'Willie stands against you' instead of the usual, which makes the situation even more heart-wrenching than it already is. That fight broke me by the way, I didn't even have the face to use the zigzagoon he gave us against him :,)

I know we are playing a set character, but I felt like a puppy while begging Ernest to run away :,) The last time I had this much of an emotional reaction to a game was when Atreus nearly died in God Of War. Angelo literally tried to drag him away and Ernest locked him in to keep him safe, I am so close to sobbing <3 AND THEN everyone that was affected by his kindness showed up to help him???? Geniunly my favorite trope even the snagem guys were there AND helped run the counter <3

Gameplay wise, I really appriciate my boy Labet letting us catch the shadow pokemon even if we missed our chance in the battle, it's fantastic. The re-playablitiy of this game is geniunly inssane and also the sick satisfaction of taking their Pokémon is one of the highlights of the game <3 And the granny at the and with the audino and blissey to easly level up pokemon is genious (espicially how bad Wes kicked my ass when I first tried to fight him XD) I love developers that think about player convinience. The pc link is a lifesaver.
