And so we’re in this plot where we’re forced to join a club I could care less about (and saying no in any of these is just “oh, you’re just being modest!! Of course you want to!!” why give me a no if you won’t take my answer seriously) in order to once again beat Kieran after going through the Elite Four here so he’ll stop feeling mopey? I honestly don’t even understand how this helps.

My general ambivalence with Carmine is similar to Nemona, but at least Nemona didn’t suddenly change her attitude halfway through super quickly. I just hate how everything was handled so much. Like have Carmine’s change of heart feel more natural and have better ways to interact with the situation with Kieran without it going full drama into this DLC to finish it. I disliked the position the game put us in, I disliked not being able to say more on why we couldn’t say anything (which made Kieran think we couldn’t trust him in the first place when it was due to a matter of concern), and it ended up making me frustrated that we had to go down this character arc in the first place. Which, honestly, are kind of complicated especially as most of this DLC’s story is used to tie up the cliffhanger from the last DLC and as someone who didn’t form much of an attachment to Carmine or Kieran on top of my general displeasure with battling, that… wasn’t particularly engaging for me.Ĭarmine’s initial rudeness at the start didn’t work well for me, regardless of her development later, and while I empathize with Kieran’s feelings (it sucks to feel left out and have something you really cared about and supported only to essentially have all the focus put on someone else), I don’t like how the character arc was done. At the time of writing this, I’ve finished the main story and mostly finished my dex (I’m just needing the two Scarlet exclusives– hopefully will get those by the time I finish this post) so it feels like a good time to talk about my thoughts. So, the final DLC released for Pokemon Violet on Tuesday Evening (at least in my timezone) and I’ve more or less been playing it since.
