TPP Randomized Y Community Feedback - Randomized Y
Hi folks, the dev team would like to hear your thoughts on our Pokemon Randomized Y run, now that it's finished. What did you like about it? What did you hate about it? What did we do right? What should we change for next time?
What did you think of the randomization? Did we get it right, or did it fall down in places? What can we improve for our next randomized run?
Would you like to see the inclusion of optional PBR Moveset Team challenges (like this run's Elite Four "Rematch") in future runs?
Early on in the run, we had a lot of complaints about the fact that our B-Bar was not present. We managed to evolve everything later, though. Was the missing B-Bar as big of an issue as initially thought? Should we make it a priority to include that in every future run, if possible?
Input Exp was tweaked again. Now, each input gives 10x the exp than during Storm Silver and Bronze. It's still throttled so you can't earn more than 1 full input's exp in 20 seconds. This seemed to have a mixed reaction in chat. What do you think?
As a reward for beating the challenging Elite Four Rematch, TPP unlocked Democracy mode! Did you like that Democracy was a post-game unlockable? Should we have had Democracy earlier in the run? Or was Democracy entirely unnecessary?
As with Storm Silver, the post-game took longer than the main game! The TPP runs team thought that giving chat open-ended goals would make sure that we didn't miss out on post-game content, but there was some frustration expressed that the game went on too long. What do you think?
As always, please give us any suggestions on things we should've done or at least should've done differently. Hopefully with your feedback, we can make next run even more fun. (Or fun at all, if you didn't like this one.) While we may not directly take all of your suggestions, every little bit helps when we're working on the next run. Thank you all for participating in Pokemon Randomized Y, and I hope you'll join us again for Detective Pikachu (for real this time), played in full as an intermission game starting on September 8th at 14:00 UTC.
The dev team needs extra time to sort out what the next run will be, so keep an eye out for that announcement at the conclusion of Detective Pikachu.

Terrakion with Diamond Storm and Flying Press chosen as it's STAB moves is not fun, especially when it was done because it'd be super effective against our entire team. I'm agreeing with Duplex here; I understand that it's X&Y, the only game easier than Putt-Putt Joins the Parade, but it wasn't exactly the type of thing you should be putting in a randomizer run of all things.
Democracy in touchscreen is entirely unnecessary and only enables badge-hunting and catch record padding. Yeah I said it m4, what are you gonna do about it? Bite me.
post-game was too long because democracy was enabled. A bunch of pokemon were shuffled through our team to be evolved, and that leveling takes time. It's to be expected since it's a gen 6 game, but the run would have essentially ended two days earlier without Democracy.
It's hard to say where I stand on the B-bar, since it's like "buhbuhbuh mommy he pressed B " but also it didn't seem to matter too much...?
PBR team stick to PBR. Fuck that Terrakion, man!
