Look. I’m not right here to guage anybody about their requests for Pokémon Pokopia, particularly once we know so little or no in regards to the recreation, apart from it being some type of Animal Crossing-like recreation in a backwards Pokémon Thriller Dungeon-type universe. Nonetheless, I believe the web has been fairly vocal about one explicit factor they need in-game.
And regardless of what you may assume it’s, resembling some kind of latest attention-grabbing mechanic or crossover or something out of the field, the one characteristic I’ve seen everybody gushing about, just about, is a characteristic that solely the Pokémon neighborhood would care about.
And earlier than giving it away, I’ll let content material creator GlaxonXIII say what everyone seems to be considering earlier than we dive into it.
That’s proper. I’m after all speaking about Shiny Pokémon. The truth is, it’s exhausting not to have a look at social media or anyplace else in regards to the recreation at the moment, with folks creating mock-ups, memes, and content material across the thought of including Shiny Pokémon to a recreation the place we have now zero thought how the mechanic works at the moment.
And there’s a good motive for that.
Think about, for instance, in the event you solely unlock a single Pokémon via a way akin to the Viva Piñata video games. Like, after having x quantity of grass patches, that’s the requirement for Squirtle to spawn. However you solely get one Squirtle. Would trainers actually spend hours in the beginning of a recreation always gentle resetting till a Shiny Squirtle seems in your little city?
… after all they’d. What am I saying?
Even so, the sheer quantity of trainers desirous to see Shiny Pokémon in-game shouldn’t come as any shock. It appears like Shiny Pokémon have grow to be a staple request in each Pokémon recreation underneath the solar. Now we have them in close to sufficient each cell recreation now, from Pokémon Sleep to Pokémon Go, and even latest video games have began so as to add Shiny Pokémon into them for occasions—so I doubt Pokémon Pokopia wouldn’t observe go well with.
But when they had been so as to add Shiny Pokémon, I’d hope that they use these totally different coloured Pokémon to tie in with the story, akin to how Pokémon Thriller Dungeon used to make use of Shiny Pokémon for distinctive and important characters (Shiny Celebi and Purple Kecleon, anybody?)
I’m all for Shiny Pokémon making an look right here, however provided that they serve a use to the sport in a method that’s distinctive. However maybe I’m the minority right here in considering that method.
