You'd think capturing humans would be taboo. Like, if they're not humans, if Lusamine does not turn into UB-02 and just looks really similar, I could probably come around to them. I still think that if they were some strong, inter-dimensional beings that weren't in pared down sense Pokemon that the story would be stronger and have more depth to it, because world building is generally a strong point for GF story wise.
If they are capturable people, if they are people turned into Pokemon, or some variant of this, I'm sorry but I'm really against it. Yes, I know, this is the game where you can literally catch God, several time-traveling Pokemon, one that exists its own alter dimensional time out room, and god knows how many unarguable sentient Pokemon have existed in canon and the universe, but there is something about this that really violates me morally, and I would raise serious questions about what the fuck GF is trying to say by doing this.

Pokemon is slowly becoming Dragonball Z like we all knew it would. All that's left is adding in Fusions a la Venustoise.
Before you say, there's no Pokeballs in DBZ: Spoiler: show Fusions would also fit Sugimori's desire to not make the dex go out of control, while still allowing new Pokemon forms to draw.

Ah, the push-a-button-turn-into-anything capsules. Can't say I'll be against Pokéball Z.
GF is going an interesting direction, and it still remains to be seen whether or not the UB's can be caught, but if they can I'm sure there will be a logical explanation for it, Poké logic, but okay. Also, fusions would be damned cool. Look at all the amazing fusion fan art that's around, plenty of inspiration for GF to tap from.

This has been an aspect of the franchise literally since the beginning. There's absolutely no malice or desire to infringe on morality in this- how could there be? The target audience of Pokemon isn't even old enough to tie their own shoes, much less contemplate morality on that deep a level. These kids are reading The Tortoise and the Hare, not The Metamorphosis. |

To be fair Kadabra was probably just a legend and it only happened to one boy. Same goes for the woman who was lost in the mountains and came back a Froslass.

Yeah I think we kinda need to hold the phone on discussing whether Gamefreak are saying enslaving people is okay. They're really not. It's probably if anything just a means of trying to get younger audience to actually have some sort of proper emotional response to the UBs (if they actually go this way) rather than trying to low key give a pass to slavery, or anything of the sort.

I didn't hate the roller-skates, but I did hate that you couldn't toggle them off. Yes you could use the d-pad to run and all that, but that's a lot less comfortable than using the joystick. I prefer running/bikes as to roller-skates.

Maybe it's just me, but I actually preferred using the Roller Skates. I actually tended to use them in place of the bike, even, especially once I really started getting the hang of some of the skating tricks. I always thought that was one of the more fun things they introduced in X and Y.

@Crys: Datamining related stuff.
Stuff that I would have avoided had that vile, despicable, beplagued and inexcusably example of wasteful oxy-carbon converter known only to the demons, diabolists and unspeakable forces of darkness as Verlisify hadn't fucking spoiled everything in his fucking videos that appeared on my feed YES I AM FURIOUS AT THIS CARRIER OF EBOLA. Fuck is too kind a word to use for that wankjob. |

Anything from the datamine is to remain spoilered. Anything revealed officially can be talked about freely without spoiler tags.
