  1. Good morning folks.
  2. 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.
  3. Just a heads up, these thoughts and preferences are mine not explicitly yours. I got much different expectations than those of your average user.
  4.  
  5.  
  6. Initial reaction:
  7.  
  8. 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.
  9. Definitely not off to a good start.
  10.  
  11.  
  12. Hour 1 of RS:
  13.  
  14. Is there seriously no native controller support??
  15. 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?
  16. WHAT IS WITH ALL THE KANTO HATE?!??! Excuse me?
  17.  
  18. And so I dropped RS for about 2 weeks.
  19.  
  20.  
  21. "Now that I played it, here is the gist of it":
  22. Pros:
  23. - Animated sprites and character dialogue art
  24. - OW visuals (models, terrain)
  25. - Pretty decent ost
  26. - Ability to change natures at the cost of heart scales
  27.  
  28. Cons:
  29. - Inconsistencies across said animated sprites (especially as a couple got portions cut off (Why?))
  30. - Too many memes (like every fucking trashcan has custom text messages)
  31. - Mocking kanto 24/7
  32. - No EV/IV screen
  33. - Story is cut short and feels generic
  34. - Easy access to legendaries
  35. - No real balance besides highly reduced xp gain past the current "cap" (very soft basically)(ties in with the evs)
  36. - Fucking translate your game properly jfc
  37. - Infinite mining simulator
  38. - No explanation as to which learnsets are used (everything up to gen 5 is based off B2W2, gen 6 XY, gen 7 SUMO)
  39. - Pokedex only displays the first 151 Pokemon???
  40.  
  41.  
  42.  
  43. What a shame.
  44. 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.
  45.  
  46. Please do me two favors:
  47. 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.
  48. Best of luck!
