- Good morning folks.
- I have decided to write up a critical review of Pokémon Realidea System, a spanish fan game quite poorly translated into english for the global market.
- Just a heads up, these thoughts and preferences are mine not explicitly yours. I got much different expectations than those of your average user.
- Initial reaction:
- As I was browsing through PokéCommunity and Relic Castle like a month ago, Realidea System caught my attention with its artwork and seemingly clean aesthetic. However as someone having played the likes of Xenoverse I was disappointed to see it being translated from spanish rather than natively developed in the much more widespread english language.
- Definitely not off to a good start.
- Hour 1 of RS:
- Is there seriously no native controller support??
- It appears as if the game still has a lot of spanish words in it. Can't wait to use some image translator (and sure I had to later in the story). Also why are the little "!" boxes above the NPCs heads so jittery?
- WHAT IS WITH ALL THE KANTO HATE?!??! Excuse me?
- And so I dropped RS for about 2 weeks.
- "Now that I played it, here is the gist of it":
- Pros:
- - Animated sprites and character dialogue art
- - OW visuals (models, terrain)
- - Pretty decent ost
- - Ability to change natures at the cost of heart scales
- Cons:
- - Inconsistencies across said animated sprites (especially as a couple got portions cut off (Why?))
- - Too many memes (like every fucking trashcan has custom text messages)
- - Mocking kanto 24/7
- - No EV/IV screen
- - Story is cut short and feels generic
- - Easy access to legendaries
- - No real balance besides highly reduced xp gain past the current "cap" (very soft basically)(ties in with the evs)
- - Fucking translate your game properly jfc
- - Infinite mining simulator
- - No explanation as to which learnsets are used (everything up to gen 5 is based off B2W2, gen 6 XY, gen 7 SUMO)
- - Pokedex only displays the first 151 Pokemon???
- What a shame.
- I can give no more than 3 out of 10 points. There was genuine potential with the talented artist(s) involved. But instead Realidea System was doomed to fall by being so overly sarcastic and unfunny.
- Please do me two favors:
- Don't fuck it up with the even better looking "Reminiscencia". And get at least someone who is capable to fully translating your game instead of half-assing it. After all your work could be THE inspiration for those coming after.
- Best of luck!
