Half-Masked

Hey, Ken Sugimori, lead designer of the new Pokeymanz? Here’s something for you to consider:

It doesn’t matter how big or dark or spiky or bad-ass you try to make the new creatures look, I can still play Pretty-Princess-Dress-Me-Up with them. It’s kind of hard for me to take Giratina seriously as some netherworld inhabiting monster-god, when I can go to Hearthome citty, give him a bow and some sparkles, and make him enter a dance competition with someone elses Pikachu. Like he’s a freakin’ Barbie doll.

Appealing to a younger female audience is one thing, but I’m just sayin’ it has its consequences.
