Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@Octane I had originally posted a longer comment explaining how much I disagree with you and how very wrong I think you are. (especially on the hive mind thing, because it really is one, and it's very very negative).

But I'll spare you. I think you're wrong and don't agree with you and I'm gonna leave it at that.

I take it the reception to the pokemon announcement was contentious?

Okay guys. I just got some money and I’m choosing whether I should get Clannad or Gnosia. What do you guys think?

Get a pizza.

@Blooper987 Watch both, and get a pizza, like @Eel said.

@Blooper987
Toss your coin or pick the flower petals to decide.

@Eel already did. That’s what I ate for supper😁

Burgers it is, then.

@Heavyarms55 Same here! 😊 I also like Pokemon D/P Remakes. Can I join you guys in this thread? It seems like one of the only ones with reasonable people.

@Diddy64 We can't exactly say no, lol. But no promises if we're discovered.

@Diddy64 This thread is for... people who can destroy each other’s opinions respectfully. Welcome!

@Heavyarms55 Feels. Not that I’m not victim to this either, I have an impulse to read comments all over the place, to contrast my views with others’. I don’t put down comments on NL, or look at the comments here much, because the people there that don’t also frequent the forums, have the potential to be as bad as the people that spam things in the Nintendo Direct live chat.

It really is pathetic that people only hurl insults and hate at each other if they’re hidden behind a screen, without any kind of agency whatsoever. I’ve seen it not just on the Internet but even in schools. I was in a Google Hangout for a Humanities course, and left yesterday because of how toxic the platform was. Again, no agency behind any of these comments, which when directed at me were rude and exclusive. Not that the people involved insulted each other...

There’ll always be people who feel more entitled to what video games can offer, and it’s easy to say this but they’re a minority, who choose to scream from the rooftops. These same people will probably end up buying the game anyway.

@TheJGG The forums on this site, with the exception of Pokemon ones, have consistently been a lot more pleasant than regular comment sections. It's a big part of why I'm still active on this site.

The pokemon threads haven't been particularly bad so far

Looking at Pokemon hype right now, i was thinking what about other monster breeding games such as Yokai Watch or Monster Farm / Rancher or Moco Moco Friends 3DS ?
I still thought those games have their own charm as hidden gems, they have their uniqueness, something that not available on Pokemon games despite they are really being overshadowed by Pokemon's popularity.
If someone have some interest with those unpopular games, maybe we can discuss here.

@Heavyarms55 The forums were why I started to begin with. It’s nice for long and critical posts.

@Heavyarms55 Go ahead, I won't be offended

No, but seriously. This isn't ResetERA where you get banned if you voice a slightly different opinion.

I wouldn't say that the reception to Legends has been negative. I think it's just that people are concerned. I am. Conceptually, this is what I want from a Pokemon game. I'm just worried they can't pull it off, and the trailer didn't exactly a lot to instill confidence. Those animations looked like they were running at 5fps, and the game is only a year away from release. I wouldn't be disappointed if they delayed it, and this was a late 2023 game. I just want a good game.

@Heavyarms55 @TheJGG Thanks both 😊

@TheJGG as long as people are respectful towards me and my opinions, I can maintain a conversation, even when they disagree with my views.

@Diddy64 Well in any case here’s a test. only kidding.

I don’t like Pokémon. The games as of late give the impression of a lazy, cynically awful series with zero regard for quality. The fandom is also trash, especially highlighted because of the #Pokédex which was a complete joke. Why would people start flame wars over the Pokédex?!

@TheJGG Agreed. Ever since sun and moon I kinda dislike everything Pokémon has become lol
