I'm sure this is not gonna happen, but I would be really happy if the existence of this game made it so you could actually battle casually in the flagship games. Even in the "casual" battles it's all hacked perfect shiny Pokemon with meta strats you've seen a thousand times.
So, yea, it would be awesome if all the sweaty players went to Champions and the people who just wanna battle for fun stayed in the main games.
1. Not interested in a video game of Monopoly no matter what IP is painted over it. 2. Greenlight The Hunt for Ben Solo!! 3. Yes, I love Kylo Ren/Ben Solo. You are free to like what you like, let me enjoy this. ^_^
I cannot wrap my head around why you would put this much effort into a game and then make conscious design choices that will ensure it goes no where. What is the point of all that wasted time, money, and energy?
All they would have to do to avoid legal trouble is change the designs of the characters so that they did not create brand confusion with existing Nintendo trademarked materials.
I'm glad option 4 was on that poll. For a while I've felt they should only introduce 3 starters and a few legendaries in new Gens from now on.
"1,000+ is more than a enough" is a great way to phrase it. From now on, focus on making each game contain all 1,000+ in a quality way. We don't need new designs outside of starters and a few legendaries. But we DO need it so that everyone can catch their favorite Mon in each main game.
Asking us to get attached to these creatures and then sometimes saying "nope, not this time!" makes no sense. Also, "gotta catch 'em ALL."
For many reasons, I'm guessing that protagonist is a daughter of Trevor and Sypha. They are mentioning Trevor's name in the video, but he's not actually the star.
Lady Gaga's part was the only one with any creativity or fun to it. Jisoo was nice to see. Most of the others looked like they didn't want to be there. And even though I am luke warm on Trevor Noah, I understand that for a lot of people he is basically the other side of the coin as Fox News. So, that's a poor choice unless you want to get one of the Fox people to balance it out (I don't even know their names lol).
@Lizuka At worst, that's implying you need to be of a certain skin color or gender to understand something. Imagine if someone said "women just don't understand movies aimed at men" or the racial equivalent? Now is the discrimination clear?
Also, in that same speaks she says "Do I hate white dudes? visibly hesitates mmmno...." Again, imagine any other demographic in there and see if you still feel there is no issue.
My kids and I loved the first movie and I'm sure we'll all enjoy this one too, but my "hype level" is really dampened by the hiring of someone like Brie Larson. I find her views sexist and racist and I'm shocked it hasn't impacted her career more negatively.
I think it looks great except for the SHORT PARAGRAPH at the bottom required these days just to tell you whether or not you actually get the game in your game purchase. -_-

Re: Poll: Who's Your Favourite Resident Evil Playable Character?
Dang. I didn't know Leon's power was THAT great! He is definitely in my top 3. Jill* is also in my top 3. But the top spot goes to Rebecca. <3
*Does anyone think the redesign of Jill (pictured above) is kinda influenced by Mila Jovovich's look?

Re: Capcom Wants To Know Your Thoughts About Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection
I look forward to enthusiastically enjoying the game one day, but the lack of online co-op does make me a bit sad. So, I let 'em know in the survey.

Re: Opinion: Is Winds & Waves Just 'Pokémon: Tears Of The Kingdom'?
I'd be very happy with a Pokemon BotW/TotK. ^_^
.... but I'd also need some online co-op in there.

I wanted to vote for Excella, but like.... she's not a choice down in the poll?? lol. What's up, NL quality control??
Re: Shinobi: Art Of Vengeance 'SEGA Villains Stage' DLC Arrives Next Month

Also, from this trailer, why is there not a Shinobi animated series?? lol I'd totally watch this in 23-minute bursts!!
Re: Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes Vs. Villains Brings A Galactic Showdown To Switch 1 & 2 This June
I have 3 things to say...
1. Not interested in a video game of Monopoly no matter what IP is painted over it.
2. Greenlight The Hunt for Ben Solo!!
3. Yes, I love Kylo Ren/Ben Solo. You are free to like what you like, let me enjoy this. ^_^

Re: Video: Here's Your First Look At The Street Fighter Live-Action Movie, Out October 2026
Let's face it, it could be a lot worse (see: Van Damme movie), but, this doesn't look remotely good to me.

Re: UK Charts: Resident Evil Requiem Switch 2 Sales Comparable To Cyberpunk 2077
I will never buy a Game Key Card and I really hope executives realize that they are not the same as physical media.

Re: Jigglypuff Is Joined By Up-And-Comer Lady Gaga In Pokémon's Super Bowl Ad
@charliecarrot I would have been fine with that ^_^
Re: Jigglypuff Is Joined By Up-And-Comer Lady Gaga In Pokémon's Super Bowl Ad
Lady Gaga's part was the only one with any creativity or fun to it. Jisoo was nice to see. Most of the others looked like they didn't want to be there. And even though I am luke warm on Trevor Noah, I understand that for a lot of people he is basically the other side of the coin as Fox News. So, that's a poor choice unless you want to get one of the Fox people to balance it out (I don't even know their names lol).
Re: Stunning Cinematic Platformer 'Planet Of Lana 2' Leaps Onto Switch 1 & 2 Next Month
You know, there are some games that when I look at them I think two things....
1. This will probably be a modest success at best.
2. If I had made this game I'd think it was the greatest game of all time. lol
This is one of those games.

Re: Resident Evil Requiem Live-Action Short Takes Us Right Back To The Beginning
@TruestoryYep However you would describe the manga that went along with it....

Or the vibe from the concept art....
https://i.pinimg.com/originals/39/e9/d2/39e9d2921da5e41fc0b6a89892802763.jpg
I feel like that tone used to be infused into the actual games more than in 7 and 8.
Re: Review: Dragon Quest VII: Reimagined (Switch 2) - A Fantastic Makeover & The Best-Looking DQ Ever
@Serpenterror gahhhh I didn't even know it was releasing on PS5!! THANK YOU!!!
Re: Resident Evil Requiem Live-Action Short Takes Us Right Back To The Beginning
mehhhh. I like RE better as a gritty, sci-fi anime than a Walking Dead/Netflix drama. RE7+8 were outstanding games, but I prefer the tone of pre-5.
Re: Yuji Horii Is Following Sakurai's Lead With His Own Manga Biography
Nifty. Super nifty even.
Re: Review: Dragon Quest VII: Reimagined (Switch 2) - A Fantastic Makeover & The Best-Looking DQ Ever
I will start caring when this is physically on a cartridge or disc. Until then, my PS1 version is fine.

Re: FUR Squadron Phoenix Brings All The Star Fox Vibes To Switch Next Month

My kids and I loved the first movie and I'm sure we'll all enjoy this one too, but my "hype level" is really dampened by the hiring of someone like Brie Larson. I find her views sexist and racist and I'm shocked it hasn't impacted her career more negatively.
