Crafting is probably not returning like the LA unique balls, which, while makes sense, I am going to miss a lot. LA as a whole really felt like a concept that was asking to be more refined.
As for the side of Luminose...am I the only one not concerned at all? Maybe my expectations have been incredibly low after learning it's just a single city months ago, but I'm just not expecting much. I genuinely think people arguing the extra year is going to be some massive improvement are just asking to be disappointed. The mentioned Lewtwo, for instance, was talking even before the Presents about how big the game must be and...I'm just not seeing it? I genuinely just believe this extra year was only even considered because of two things: Gen 10 coming on the 30th anniversary and the backslash about LA and specially SV's perfomance. I see no reason to believe ZA is going to turn out to be this massive incredibly groundbreaking title because of the extra year...and not just that without that extra year the game would be yet another overambitious, poorly optimized game. It really seems like people are overhyping that we got nothing on a year despite being asking for that for a long while. And jumping straight to the opposite side of a single year suddenly being a magic fix for everything.
Like, call me a doomer if you want, but even as much as I love and defend both LA and SV, both clearly needed more time in the oven, and a single extra year would have just avoided the final mess we got, not created inmortal masterpieces. The fact that we know from the teraleak and the TCG the game was supposed to come out in 2024 (and it already had a playable and pretty complete build) just doesn't make it likely to me that there was some crazy changes and shakeups in a single unplanned year. Maybe that's why I still don't see what was disappointing about the trailer but really, for all we know it will just not have the many glitches SV does and come out as a more polished game overall, even if not in graphics. That's it. I don't think the game is some crazy milestone GF holds in greater regard than LA or Gen 10, and I would even argue they have never even suggested otherwise, it's all on fans' heads. I doubt such drastic things as the battle system were already not finished (or at least, working good enough to release the game) by last year.
I'm not saying the game will be bad or Luminose small or whatever. Just that I don't get why people assume this is suddenly a crazy change that means GF is putting all their energy in a very important release, the two teams are still nlt even working together.

they can randomly have Zygarde be mad and change a lot of the city, by just randomly adding sand or snow
I mean this would make sense. People are claiming to trying to make a place where both human and Pokemon can coexist while giving a bunny like a square of grass in the middle of the road to live and be happy. The keeper of the ecosystem should be mad about this rather than spending time literally all over Hawaii.

I will be completely honest I had not even idea this was a thing until I ran into it on my current replay of Y. And it was the cringest thing I have seen in a long while (trough maybe because of the localization to my language?). Maybe a hot take but I see no problem on losing them. I don't think I would have even liked this back in the dayView attachment 720086
Guys. I'm crying and shaking rn. I don't see any sign of my beloved PR Video Studio here or anywhere else on the map. We can't lose PR Video chads, can we? Not like this bros... not like this.....
