Humanoid pokémon are now kissing trainers on the mouth with hearts appearing around. What did Gamefreak mean by this? Are they becoming more explicit with depicting human/pokémon relationships?

Wanted to post this on /vp/ but despite the "Post Successful" message, nothing ever popped up, so I came to the better board.

You can't look at the weed cat's evolution's proprtions, vagina bones, inspirations, thigh highs, fuck-me eyes, and fucking heart shaped pawpads and tell me they weren't trying to create two flavours of furbait with this design: Shortstack Braxien/Sneasel 2 and wannabe Lopunny/Gardevoir.
Hell, the mask literally came from some old (80s?) anime catgirl.

At first I didn't like it, but it really grew on me. I picked weedcat as my starter.
My cousin picked it too, and was lucky enough to get a female.

TBH that little exchange while random was surprisingly cute with the limited animation the game has

How is the game anyway? I see the game looks buggy as shit as always but is it worth emulating? Fuck waiting for the game to go on sale, Nintendo stuff never does no matter how bad the product

It's not that bad, tbh. It has a couple bugs, but it's still arguably the best 3D pokemon game. The graphics are decent, and the exploration is good.

I have nothing positive to say about it but if you want to torrent it on Yuzu or whatever go ahead.
They went with an "Open world design where you can go anywhere" except levels still matter too much.
Want to explore? Want to find where to go next for yourself instead of consulting GameFAGs- i mean GameFAQs?
You will easily find yourself wandering off the proper path and encountering enemies far above your level. Clear out your item supply to survive against them. And then find yourself overlevelled when returning to earlier shit you skipped accidentally.
Pokemon Rapid Red had a better open world design and better level scaling. You can battle any Kanto gym leader out of order, freely explore Kanto, start from anywhere, and gym leaders will grow in power to match you and rematch you whenever you want.
That game didn't implement a level scaling mechanic where the whole world levels with you. Gym leaders just get more pokemon at higher levels as you gain more badges while the impact of individual levels are reduced. You can still evolve and gain new moves by levelling up but a freshly caught pokemon with auto perfected IVs is usually battle ready.

Futhermore it is possible to complete story events out of order.
The story is not written to accomodate this.
Characters will not notice if you complete events out of order.
And the balancing on new Pokemon, items, moves, and abilities is FUCKED.
Was waiting for the new gen to come out before I continued work on my next pokemon essentials game, so I could get gen 9 shit in the game. Now I'm not even sure if I want the new unbalanced shit in my game.
Even the gimmick Terrastalization is fundamentally flawed, because you can use it to change a mons type or use it to buff a mons STAB attacks, which means creatively playing with the gimmick is typically less rewarding than just getting the extra 50% damage on an already overwhelmingly strong mon.
Everything a better game does right is something the new Pokemon does wrong. Really makes you appreciate games with better designed open worlds like BOTW and Fallout NV.

Doronjo from the Time Bokan Series Yatterman is a possible inspiration for Meowscarada.
