The 2008 film The X-Files: I Want to Believe, starring David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson as the famous FBI agents who investigate the unexplained, was originally planned as a scary, standalone story similar to episodes from the original TV show.

Last June, the director, Chris Carter, announced he was creating a director’s cut to put back the scenes that were removed, aiming to restore the movie to its originally intended, frightening style.

Pokemon Legends: Arceus and Legends Z-A were steps in the right direction, but I’ve been playing the Like a Dragon series, and they’ve totally nailed how to modernize turn-based combat. Games like Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth and Yakuza: Like a Dragon let you move characters around the battlefield, set up combos, and actually use the environment during fights. It’s not just picking moves from a menu! That kind of dynamic, hybrid approach is exactly what Pokemon Winds & Waves needs to feel fresh and exciting, while still keeping that classic turn-based Pokemon feel we all love.
