  1. Least favorite song from the games?

    I hate that bingo-was-his-name-o song that plays sometimes during tutorials (like when the guy shows you how to use the camera early in SM), but that barely counts. I like most of the Alola music, but this route track is just brutally bad and kind of makes me hate the whole third island portion...
  2. (Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

    And still haven't stopped calling groups that happen to fill roughly the same story role as Team Rocket "teams." :facepalm:
  3. Sticky Orange Islands SQSA Thread

    I meant Emerald doesn't work like the person you were replying to had said. I wasn't clear, but I was agreeing with you with the exception of Ruby/Sapphire. (Unless I'm just confused about this whole exchange.)
  4. Sticky Orange Islands SQSA Thread

    I was under the impression that Ruby and Sapphire did work like that, but Emerald and FRLG didn't.
  5. Sticky Orange Islands SQSA Thread

    Are there any reliable ways to get a copy of Emerald without having to worry it's fake? I was going to order from GameStop, but they don't have any available for shipping or at nearby stores. There's a listing on Amazon that looks safe, but it's almost $150.
  6. Unpopular opinions

    If I had to guess, it's probably her whole aesthetic and the fact that she strikes a good balance between seeming kind of edgy or dark and then nice/not scary. Or maybe it's mostly the creepy stuff...who knows.
  7. (Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

    Sure, I guess. I would love the height and weight differences. That's another thing it's kind of absurd not to have. If they want to cut IVs but add a bunch of things like that, I think I'd be fine with that. There just has to be enough legitimate differentiation. That's just a false statement...
  8. (Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

    Your interest, my interest, and everyone else's in playing the games is contingent on being able to buy into the reality they present at least one some basic level. Anything they do to make that harder that is therefore bad, and that takes precedence over how it affects gameplay. The idea that...
  9. Unpopular opinions

    It's semantics, I guess, but the "National Pokedex" was cut in Gen 7, not 8. (And that's probably a good thing if they're not going to rename it to something less absurd and rework it so the classification of things doesn't just so happen to match the order in which things appeared in the...
  10. (Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

    Getting rid of IVs would be the most outrageous thing they've ever done. Just make it much easier to Hyper Train and don't require things to be at level 100 for it.
  11. Unpopular opinions

    It's almost like they would have lots of time to focus on making the region and actual game better if they didn't waste so much on absurd gimmicks that by definition make them worse.
  12. (Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

    I can't endorse this strongly enough. I think it goes without saying that a playthrough that takes maybe a few days of real-world time represents a much longer period of time in the in-game world. Traveling across a region must take months, at least. Raising Pokemon from the lowest levels of...
  13. Sword & Shield **Official news only** DLC Crown Tundra 22nd October

    https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/10/sword_and_shields_wild_area_is_about_the_size_of_two_regions_in_zelda_breath_of_the_wild_says_pokemon_rep A lot of little things in Crown Tundra remind me of BOTW, and that made me think of it.
  14. Sword & Shield **Official news only** DLC Crown Tundra 22nd October

    Remember when they claimed the Wild Area was about the size of two regions in BOTW? What a joke that turned out to be. Maybe, maybe it's twice the size of the tiny region you start BOTW in.
  15. (Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

    Doesn't it seem likely that ones like Bugsy and Brawly are nicknames or some sort of stage trainer names they go by? Not that that's probably how they were intended, but in-world it seems very likely and I think redeems them. Absolutely this. If anything, I hate when there is some forced...
