MinnMax's Ben Hanson, Kelsey Lewin, Haley MacLean, and Janet Garcia celebrate MinnMax's 6th anniversary by unleashing their thoughts on Pokémon Legends: Z-A from Game Freak and lamenting on how you can squint to see an awesome game somewhere in this mix. Then Kyle Hilliard joins the show to talk about Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted before we dive into a spoiler-free conversation about Double Fine's beautiful game starring a lighthouse called Keeper. Then Game Informer's Charles Harte joins the show as we unpack Dispatch from AdHoc Studio, an amazingly written successor to the Telltale formula starring Alanah Pearce from MinnMax Guest Cohort fame! For community questions this week we're joined by generous Give To The Max donor Tri Nguyen to talk about his career as a combat designer on Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and Marvel's Wolverine AND answer your wonderful questions.

it's kinda fun to hear haley's thoughts on Z-A as someone with the complete opposite Poké opinions than her, Arceus soured me so much I was dreading another Legends game and this completely won me over

Efren Rodriguez

Wow I had the opposite thoughts as Haley about Z-A. I appreciate her opinions though! The battling in the main Pokémon games are rarely strategic as you're usually over-leveled and use powerful moves (like Ben said). Sure that ends up being the same in Z-A but the new battle mechanic is faster. It's not perfect but it's new and refreshing. I hope they expand on it to make it more interesting in future games. They added a little bit of platforming with the construction sites! It's not the best platforming, but it's something new. I hope they add more, better, platforming to future Pokémon games. The wild areas are very limited, yes. I wish at the end they would have dropped the zones to conclude with what a main focal point of the plot was. Making the entire city a "wild area." I found exploring the rooftops for more rare Pokémon fun. Exploring the city and finding a random Pokémon that I wanted in a random alleyway was exciting. The battle zones that come at night turn parts of the city into a little laberynth. The battles are easy, like most Pokémon games, so it being a little laberynth where I try to find the optimal path to fight as many trainers as I can to get get the most money was fun to me. Yeah, it's does gamify it more, but the legends series is more experimental so I'm fine with it for this. Wouldn't like it as the only option in the next main game. They follow up on some X and Y story arcs in pretty adult (for Pokémon co.) way. I don't play Pokémon for the story, but I did like what they did with the story. No one was a one-dimensional bad guy, they all wanted to improve the city in their own way. I liked that the grandpa was his granddaughters biggest fan/supporter in a cute way. It's a bummer Haley didn't like it. Thanks for your thoughts on it though!

Haley is the best and I enjoyed hearing her take but this is the first 3d pokemon game that I absolutely love!

Brian

I did not expect to hear a cumtown reference in my minnmax episode lol

Zachery Lee Anderson

I have also had the completely opposite experience as Haley and the rest. I absolutely loved Legends ZA. I found the battles to be fun and really liked how convenient it was to find pokemon in the wild areas. Sure the textures are lackluster but I almost immediately forgot about them because to me the world feels alive, people walking around, pokemon chilling on trees and trash bins. The game felt built for me.

HydraTower

I could not disagree with Haley more on Pokémon Legends ZA

Shout out tri. Long lost cohort

Makiller
