  • tldr this is why I'm not a big fan of new Paths (Remembrance more specifically cuz we still don't know much about Elation so I'm still being optimistic about them)
    - Memosprites aren't unique enough to warrant a new Path
    - New Paths keep being released will lead to old Paths being forgotten
    - Basing Paths around arbitrary new mechanics instead of just letting old Paths having access to those mechanics will limit kit designs

    I've complained too much so I'll be more optimistic and suggest some solutions :J

    First off, we need to ask why they're creating new Paths in the first place? It's because the story requires Trailblazer to be glanced by Aeons that aren't just the og 7.

    imo there's 3 options they can take to get around this
    - The easy route : Just ignore the lore inaccuracies and make the Trailblazer's Path not based on the Aeon but their gameplay role. Obviously this ruins the immersion a bit but they've been doing it for other characters since the start of the game until now.
    - Make future story arcs solely around the original 7 Aeons. This option just sucks since it does not in fact solve anything and instead limits creativity
    - Make the new Path actually be interesting and different enough. It's the best option but idk I highly doubt Hoyo will or can do it :P
    I don't wanna sound like a doomposter but yea Paths in HSR just don't mean anything anymore :P

    They can't make a Remembrance unit without a Memosprite and they can't give a character a Memosprite without making them Remembrance. So if they're making a character in the future that would benefit from having a Memosprite but they have to be a different path (either due to some kind of quota they need to hit or smth) they just can't! It goes the other way as well. If they're designing a Remembrance character in the future but their lore or gameplay or whatever doesn't really have room for a Memosprite, they just have to force one in which leads to their kit feeling lackluster.

    Like I think it says a lot that Cyrene who's supposed to be the ultimate Remembrance character arguably has the most pointless Memosprite gameplay-wise. It's so clear Demiurge was shoved in her kit because a Remembrance character needs to have a Memosprite (I'm looking at things solely from a gameplay perspective here tho we're not talking about Demiurge lorewise). If it was a traditional summon/Cyrene was just one unit very minimal things about her kit changes. Demiurge's sole purpose is generating more Newbud for Castorice which is not enough justification to create a new Path

    I can’t believe I forgot to mention the lack of 4 stars but tbf that’s a problem for all Paths rn not just Remembrance :P
    Outrage, Petal Dance and Thrash are notoriously unreliable but that's what makes them interesting to me ngl :V I think it'd be pretty cool if they were buffed and more types were given variants of them
    I'm so excited for Sparkle and Black Swan's buffs!! A bit underwhelmed it's only 2 characters tho ;–;
    JackieSunshower
    JackieSunshower
    Also I just want to say Black Swan's kit is the most perfect example of how dumb (for a lack of a better word) old kits were compared to now ;–; The fact that she can't detonate DoTs at all even at E6 despite all the 4 stars DoT units being able to do so is crazy
    I'm still kinda confused on how day the title of this series lol :J I've heard a lot of influencers/content creators from my country pronounce the x but if it's a western anime influencer they just say Spy Family

    wow my auto predict really messed this up what the heck

    I meant to say "I'm still kinda confused on how to say the title of this series"
    I often forget kiwis (the fruit) are actually brown on the outside and it’s only their flesh that’s green :V I’ve always thought the entire thing was green
    I’ve been watching modern Spongebob review videos lately and apparently Nosferatu is a recurring character now ;–; I’ve seen people criticising it as nostalgia bait but I don’t believe that cuz who even cares that much about Nosferatu???
    JackieSunshower
    JackieSunshower
    Tho I’m not one to judge since Spongebob was already on Season 6 when I was born so maybe I’m wrong and people who grew up watching Classic Spongebob do feel nostalgic over Nosferatu :J
    The HSR devs seem really confused on whether to make Break focused on keeping the enemies broken or frequently breaking them which I think could be partially fixed by making Fugue able to restore enemies’ Exo-Toughness :V Maybe make her Ultimate do this because I think her Ult is extremely underwhelming especially for its above average cost

    If they can’t implement this buff for her normal version maybe they can do this for her in Currency Wars instead? :V idk
    Gen 3 as a whole was a really big change to the mechanics of Pokemon and I don’t think people just realise how many Pokemon were introduced to showcase them so here are some of my favorites :D

    Pokemons like Slaking and Shedinja are obviously meant to showcase Abilities but what most people overlook is that this applies to the Weather Trio too :o Think about it, their Abilities are basically their whole gimmick and identity to the same extent that Z-Moves are for the Light Trio and Paradox Forms to Koraidon and Miraidon. If they were introduced in Gen 2 and then gained the Abilities in Gen 3 there’d probably be a False Swipe Gaming video called “Broken Pokemon that got EVEN stronger” or something

    In Gen 1 and 2, a Pokemon’s “genetics” (gender, shininess, etc) were determined by their Determinant Values (basically just IVs) which led to some funky stuff like how a Pokemon with a 1:7 female to male gender ratio can’t be female and shiny at the same and two Pokemons with Identical DVs in certain stats can’t breed. In Gen 3 they completely overhauled this with Personality Values which assigns a random number from the 32-bit integer to the Pokemon. Some Pokemons that were intended to showcase this are Wurmple’s evolution and Spinda’s spot patterns :D

    These next ones are a little different because the Pokemons themselves weren’t designed to showcase Contests but all the in-game trades in Gen 3 have enhanced stat in a certain Contest Condition (which explains why they’re not good for a playthrough lol :> (well the trades in RSE sucks but FRLG are just like most game : some Pokemons are good but it’s still a mixed bag))

    Also in Gen 5 they introduced a new way to determine a Pokemon’s “genetics” called a encryption constant but from what I researched they seem virtually identical to Personality Values :V
    JackieSunshower
    JackieSunshower
    Making this post really reminds me how much I love to yap about Pokemon >:J
    JackieSunshower
    JackieSunshower
    Feebas and Milotic were also introduced to showcase Contests but they’re a lot more obvious so I didn’t mention it :J Also Altaria is a more interesting case because it’s kinda retroactively intended to showcase Contests in the remakes but nothing about its attributes/moveset/abilities or whatever were actually designed specifically for Contests :V
    I've really tried to like A Silent Voice but idk why it's just not for me unfortunately I do not enjoy that movie ;–;
    JackieSunshower
    JackieSunshower
    Which is a shame cuz I love KyoAni and Naoko Yamada sm ;–;
    JackieSunshower
    JackieSunshower
    I feel like I should love the movie but I don’t and it makes me feel really bad for sum reason ;–;
    I found out about Breaking Bad in probably the weirdest way ever lol =v= Basically during Covid I got really invested in ATLA (like a lot of people did) so I was watching this ATLA video and the Youtuber made some kind of joke about how both of his fav tv shows revolve around a bald main character so for about 4 years I thought Breaking Bad was some kind of heroic fantasy show lol :J
    JackieSunshower
    JackieSunshower
    Needless to say I was dumbfounded when I found out about the actual plot of BrBa lol ;v;
    JackieSunshower
    JackieSunshower
    I haven't watched Pluribus yet but I am definitely looking forward to it :D I was spoiled on the entirety of BrBa and BCS before I finished them (still didn't impact my enjoyment of them tho :J) so I'm pretty excited to get into Pluribus completely blind
    JackieSunshower
    JackieSunshower
    Honestly I've never cared that much about being spoiled but I'd still like to experience all the suspense and anticipation and stuff :V
    My mom took me to a baking supplies store for the first time today and this is actually the best place ever oml =v=
    JackieSunshower
    JackieSunshower
    The whole store smells like sweet dreams and flowers lololol :D
    “Person does something bizarre but not outrageous” once again proves itself as the best genre of Youtube videos

    Currency Wars Bronya in general is very bizarre honestly like why is she Bloodflame what does she have to do with HP loss (?_?)
    JackieSunshower
    JackieSunshower
    Don’t get me wrong I like the concept of a character that has 2 different states but why Bronya of all characters (・・?
    JackieSunshower
    JackieSunshower
    The only explanation that makes sense to me is because Cocolia is dead so that equals HP loss lol ;–;
    The best part about trying to create Fakemons is you get to discover some really weird animals like grebes, jerboas, spalax and some disturbing deep sea fish with glowing skin, exposed nervous system, two teeth and venomous microscopic quills on their eyelids :D
    I’ve never had a pet before but honestly I can barely keep my room clean so maybe it’s for the best that I don’t have one qwq
