We discussed the announcements and the format of the PlayStation event as well as the one organized by Game Freak for the 25 years of Pokémon
This Friday, the Cantina Meristation opened its doors to discuss the announcements and the format of the PlayStation State of Play as well as the Pokémon Presents organized by Game Freak for 25 years of Pokémon.
Guests
On this occasion, Montserrat Simó from the Heraldo de México, Carlos Fernandez de Lara from Forbes México, Gabriel Huerta, former editor of IGN Latam and Rolando Vera were the ones who raised their point of view on the format and announcements of both events, ending with an unforeseen talk. about Dungeons & Dragons.
The most important
The table concluded that the State of Play event format was somewhat strained by having few new announcements, marking Kena: Bridge of Spirits and Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade as the most relevant. On the side of Pokémon Presents, there were comments related to the initial video where they recapitulated in a unique way the 25 years of the brand, as well as the announcements of Pokémon Legends: Arceus, the new Pokémon Snap, Pokémon Shiny Diamond and Shimmering Pearl from Nintendo Switch. However, all the guests told anecdotes related to the evolution of Pokémon on different platforms, card games and even the lore formed around the more than 890 species as something unique that cannot be found in other properties.
And speaking of RPG games
At the end of the table I relate the role-playing genre with a game of yesteryear, Dungeons & Dragons. They themselves shared anecdotes related to this game and how this game has survived and transcended for generations in multiple formats that have brought the concept to television, movies, video games and even their own creations. The funniest thing about this part was when everyone remembered the adventures of their Dungeon Masters in their own version of Dungeons and Dragons.
Like every night, the audience participated with comments related to the topics in the chats of our Facebook, YouTube and Twich channels.
