[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

[Dragonstrike]

Honestly, I can't say the game isn't aimed at a younger audience, because that's exactly who the target audience is.  The game has a heavy emphasis that it's an adventure with your starter pokemon, whose entire gimmick is being a cutesy yet surprisingly strong member of their species.  The game even says on the back of the box that it's a great starting point for newer players.


That being said, however, I find LGPE to be very relaxing to play because they're intended to be casual.  I went into it with casual expectations and got exactly what I was expecting...then found out there are definitely still some more hardcore mechanics for the more dedicated players.

Is it a game for everyone?  Yes and no.  Yes because most anyone who wants to play it doesn't have to worry about getting lost in a sea of complex mechanics unless they seek those out themselves, no because it's not gone in a direction similar to the rest of the series.

I'm not going to say this game is a must have.  I am going to say it's still good despite its flaws and differences, though.  It's my opinion, take it with a grain of salt, but that's where I stand with it.  I'm hopeful that Gen 8 turns out all the better because of what was learned from making LGPE.
