Episode 79 - This Burmy Can Hold Grudges - Detective Pikachu

How could your podcast take place entirely in the library? Here’s a
hint, it can’t! Thanks for joining us on the podcast again this
week. We’re kicking off Mystery May with Detective Pikachu. With
the movie releasing recently this IP has been in the public eye,
but the film’s inspiration is comparatively less known. Now that
we’ve played it, we’re here to…well, tell you why that is,
unfortunately. The game follows a tried and true structure of
setting up environments full of clues and witnesses to help you
find solutions using logic, but the game is tuned to be accessible
to Pokémon’s main demographic, which may be too young to make this
title appeal to a wide variety of players. Still, the game is well
made, and the aesthetic elements are charming to fans of the series
so the novelty inherent in its off-the-wall-for-Pokémon-at-least
design could very well be enough to hold your attention. We’re
going to talk about helper mechanics for inexperienced players, how
the game and movie interact in the landscape of popular culture,
and who does and does not have a ponytail. Hopefully you enjoyed
the episode, though it was maybe one of the least mysterious games
tackled for May so far. Next time, we’re dipping into the cold
waters of Return of the Obra Dinn so prepare for a pretty dramatic
shift in tone. Join our Discord so you can discuss new episodes,
strategize your approach to Sekiro and help us build out the lore
of Thorpo Fantasy! https://discord.gg/tRNNSJ6
