Would he ruin Pokèmon writing if he was in charge of the lore and game stories?
I don't get these threads.
>Would [Random work figure X] ruin Pokemon if he was in charge of this or this?
Like bro, you can't gauge that by pulling out a random guy. There are steps to how a lore and a story is written into the games. The obvious step would be familiarizing yourself with the source material to then consult it with more people than only your own opinion.
Let's take a look at Colosseum since they are the only viable example of a case where someone with no prior knowledge of working with Pokemon titles got pulled up to work on one. They took their time to learn about it while working with a certain motif with the limited freedom they had for making a home console title.
The best result you would get from inserting any guy you drag into Pokemon is some repeated story beats but that's it, the core would still stay in tact.
>DON'T DO IT LYSANDERE JUST THINK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED BACK IN UNOVA WITH THE TEAM PLASMA SITUATION* *during the events of Pokemon BW
>You don't get it boy... I wanna be the very best... like noone.. ever was...
>>57999316 (OP)>entire writing shtick is "DUDE LOOK AT LE REFERENCES" and "REMEMBER THIS HAPPENED!"We would be getting more annoying ass kanto dick riding and call backs that's for sure.

Would HE ruin Pokèmon writing if he was in charge of the lore and game stories?
>>57999357No he would revitalize the series.
>>57999316 (OP)"Oh man this reminds me of that time Team Rocket took over the Radio Tower in Johto!"
He would conflate the anime and game canons for worse
>>57999357Every character would probably be as annoying as penny
>>57999316 (OP)Jesus christ this nigga lives rent free in some autists heads, who cares
If he actually did his research then it would probably turn out better than ORAS at least. He's a reasonable writer, which is more than what Sonic had since SA2 if we're being stingy and Unleashed if we're being generous, and between those games there were a ton of duds that are hard to defend (Shadow's story being on repeat over several games until '06, where everything but Shadow's story was some degree of retarded). Ian's big thing is that he's an above average writer who comes in after years of the worst writing you've ever seen, outside of his run on Mega Man which is on a similar level to a bunch of other extremely average Mega Man stories over the course of the character's recent history.
>>57999316 (OP)"I heard something like this happened in the Orre region"
>>57999316 (OP)Am I supposed to know who this is?
When the only complaint people are making is that he constantly makes references like the only good Kanto reference in SM, then it's probably fine.
>>57999653People who hate this nothing of a writer are more autistic than actual Sonicfags
>>57999316 (OP)kek
thought this was dave filoni at first glance

>>57999316 (OP)i thought that was dave filoni lol
>>57999357he already is responsible for the only good part of scarlet and violet
>>57999316 (OP)Didn’t think I’d see Ian Flynn on vp
When did /sthg/ invade this place?
>>57999316 (OP)he would try his absolute hardest to make the next female protagonist a canon lesbian.
>>58000277>>58000281Same
Bet he's a huge Cynthiafag
>>57999316 (OP)Some how in some form he will shoehorn his lesbian fetish in the story.
>>58000407He's gonna bring over Evan Stanley and have her design yet another naturally blonde haired black lesbian.
>>58000417why does left have an offbrand marathon logo?
pokemon writing is unironically dogshit so if anything flynnslop would be an improvement
>>57999693He is in charge of 90% of the Sonic writing outside of Japan now.
>>58000372TPCi would ban any romantic relationships with the player character.
>>58000886Ian's mentioned that he'll try his hardest to get what he wants no matter the mandates
>>58000890Oh yeah I forgot TPCi would have even harsher mandates.
>>57999316 (OP)I am curious how he would write the Pokèdex Entries.
>>58000894"this pokemon does this thing. Like how Charizard did in the anime at episode 245 6 mins and 9 seconds in"
>>58000894He would make several references to other franchises he likes. He did it with Whisper who is a Metal Gear knockoff
>>58000894>Rayquaza"This powerful legendary dragon has descended from the heavens to stop kyogre and groudon's rampage in sootopolis city."
>>57999316 (OP)Fuck off and stop shitting up our board sonicbab. Go back to playing your shitty bug infested zelda ripoffs.
>>58000904Pot calling the kettle black. Sonic and Pokemon are brothers in arms, bound together by forces outside of our control.
>>58000923Delusional furfag. Slopnic has nothing to do with Pokemon kys
>>58000345Sonicfag vitriol autism for him is strong
>>57999334"erm, ackshually bro, you can't just do that"
