Ok, so after the salt festivities are *mostly* done here (I hope) let me get some post direct thoughts out of the way.
I
LOVED the direct. Everything they discussed was great. I do not mind wasting my data on this at all
Even though I now have 24 days left without data
Ken, we saw this coming, and i'm glad to see him. Personally, I do not play Street Fighter, but Ken is cute and hot (I like him better than Ryu) and would most likely pick him over Ryu.
When I first played Pokémon Moon I didn't really like Incineroar. However, then I decided to use him in one of my playthroughs and I loved him. He was quite fun to use and I started to like his design more too
After I petted him a lot in Pokémon Refresh. So him joining the roster was a pleasant surprise I did not see coming. (Might also be a good thing to mention that I did not see any leaks except the mach rider one, because leaks bring expectations that very often lead to only disappointment.)
Spirits mode actually seems pretty fun. I am the completionist that wants to collect every single one of them
and fill my pokedex. Also I find it very clever what they did with the spirit battles and battling online with your spirit seems just too much fun. I really wonder which spirits they are going to pick for every series, especially legends. (I have no idea why they made Sigurd only 2 stars smh.) The cutscene with the voice acting and the song was just great and it almost made me tear up a little. Kirby, save the world for us!!
But the highlight of the direct was Piranha Plant. He came so much out of nowhere, I can't believe it. I don't know if I'll main him quite yet, but I will DEFINITLY use him, because Piranha Plant getting in is just too funny.
Anyway, 10/10 direct would never ask for anything ever again.
