You are not a schizo, anon. This game is weird AS FUCK.>entire game set in a creepy 15 minutes city
>you can't go out alone at night anymore (it is too dangerous)
>people can sneak attack you at night
>curfew laws everywhere
>you can't even enter the shops anymore (to protect against shoplifting)
>you can't enter any buildings at all in the entire game (a reflection of real estate becoming completely unaffordable and used to hedge against inflation), even though they are empty and nobody lives there
>all buildings look the same soulless replaceable modernist self, with only a landmark from the past to remind you that the city is Lumiose / Paris and not Vancouver
>men and women wear exactly the same clothes
>Lumiose city is portrayed as this sprawling diverse human center, except everything looks terrible and the same, just the people are diverse
>entire city is falling apart with overgrown grass, animals taking over, and real estate all closed off to everyone with probably no one even living inside due to speculation
>first Pokémon game without any epic legends about the past, signifying the end of history
>you try escaping the city, just to wake up in a city that looks exactly the same
>no public infrastructure in the city being used, probably against carbon emissions or because people are too poor
>characters complaining that they are not allowed to drive anymore
>you need an app to do anything, from navigating the city to using public healthcare, so the system is constantly tracking youThis game is a modernist nightmare. I was expecting the credits to mention the World Economic Forum at the end. It truly portrays a decadent city enforcing curfew laws where homes are all unaffordable, there is no infrastructure, shops are all sealed against shoplifting and every building looks the same.This game is dystopic.
