@johnvboy so it's impossible to be both passionate and kind? To acknowlegde other peoples opinions while expressing your own?

@WallyWest if I'm being perfectly honest I'm taking part in this discussion out of my own enjoyment. I'm interested in what both sides of the issue have to say.

@johnvboy how? by being civil and agreeing to disagree. Trying to understand other perspectives rather than taking sides.

@Yorumi hey uh... Could you scroll up and read the comment directly above your most recent one.

please refrain from, as you put it, "making assumptions, quite aggressively attacking people,"

@Yorumi so he's a bad guy for pointing out not everything is as black and white as some people make it sound?

He's saying its ok to agree to disagree

At least that's what I think... If I'm going to assume someones intentions I prefer to assume the best

@Savage_Joe he's given credit where credit is due to both sides of the issue and said that he believes while the complaints are valid they feel overstated. That is his opinion based on observations... Not an attack

@EOTW ah, gotchya. Seems like we were just having a miscommunication this whole time. Thanks for clearing that up

@Yorumi i just reread every post by megavell in this thread... How on earth did you get that idea?

@EOTW right...
Did I ever say that was a bad idea?

Man the vibe here is very different than the comments for the normal NL review.

@BloodNinja... If you don't think Legends was an improvement on the gameplay compared to SwSh I don't know what to tell you... Sure it doesn't have a party system. But improvement is improvement even when it doesn't take the form you were hoping for

@EOTW ... That's a generalization and there can be exceptions... All I know is that people enjoy the game, why is that so bad?

@BloodNinja or maybe saying "have a great day" is them trying to show they are replying in good faith and are now walking away with no hard feelings?

@MegaVel91 that is a very good point thank you.

@EOTW and that is your opinion "quality" is a largely subjective topic.

Sure popularity doesn't mean you think it's good. But it means a lot of people do.

@Preposterous sorry but that comparison is apples and oranges

@MegaVel91 by the power vested in my by noone in particular i unofficially declare you the smartest person on this site.

Both sides have valid points. Why does everything have to be black and white?

Anyways, two things can be true:

People can expect more from the pokemon franchise and those same people can enjoy the current games for what they are.

Are there games some people would very much prefer over LA? Yes. Will some people not enjoy the game? Yes. Is there room for improvement? Yes. But it's both a huge step in the right direction and a game alot of people (myself included) will enjoy.

@BloodNinja no... I was just pointing out a technicality

@BloodNinja you said pojemon needs to move beyond 1v1 technically they have

@EOTW a lot of people pirated the game and/or bypassed the encription of their preload. They can't post on metacritic but the game is popular

@BloodNinja
Double battles
Tripple battles
Rotation battles
Bsttle royales
Raids
Catching competitions

@citronaut thank you.

@Troll_Decimator smart human... Or troll killing lego dwarf as the case may be

@Bret i've @mentioned so many people ar this point which one?

@fafonio yes, areassorry for not elaborating

@Anti-Matter are you really that upset that sawk isn't in the game?

@BloodNinja we're saying the same thing here... Yes it's subjective. But most people seem to have positive opinions about this one

@NinjaGuy69 and theres nothing wrong with saying what it is that what najes a "good" game is subjective and people lije it

@fafonio neither... Think more like monster hunter

@Kiyata agreed variety is good

@Draxa yeah two things SwSh did really well are upping acessability and competative options.

@Alckemy trading exists not pvp

@fafonio funny I've had the opposite experience my appreciation for pokemon game titles generally grows over time

@xPH03N1Xx86 just wait. Joe Merrik calls it the two gen rule. Games are appreciated much more by the fandom 2 gens after they occcur

@MegaVel91 this guy gets it

@westman98 wait 'till the game is actually out then you'll know

@EOTW go to metacritic *everyone*is goving LA an 8/10 or better

@NinjaGuy69 but is it a bad game if so many people like it?
Calling people appologists for pointing out your opinion isn't the only one is hardly any better.

@nmanifold i would think so. Lore has never been critical to enjoying pikemon and the mechanics are all new

@Anti-Matter this is a joke right? please tell me this is a joke

@Deepdoop I like to say any pokemon game is agood game to get stsrted. This game is admittedly more complex than older titles but if that's what you're looking for in a pokemon game now is the time.

I am now torn between making a team entirely of massive absolute-units-of-pokémon or itty-bitty babies.

Anyone have exact numbers on how much variance the "height value" makes?

I presume 127 is "average" sized (1x scale) but does anyone know the minimum and maximum scale?

Hey, don't make fun of my uncle like that!

@Baker1000 by the numbers Proof of Stake is a huge improvement over Proof of Work (which several blockchain legers, including bitcoin still use) but POS still uses a lot of energy.

If I did my math right, only 16 transactions in the most energy-efficient leger today uses the same amount of energy as charging your phone for 10 minutes.

How many blockchain transactions do you think happen every 10 minutes?... I don't have a statistic but bitcoin alone (which still uses POW, remember), has up to 40 transactions per minute on average. Taken together, blockchain servers account for thousands, if not millions, of phones charging 24/7

@Mortenb I'll be frank with you: tl/dr

All I'm saying is, if it's speculation that's fine, but don't go presenting it like it's fact.

@Dragonstar ... What if I told you that blockchain technology is hurting people.

Sure, let people enjoy things, there's nothing wrong with an honest side hustle... But not at the expense of others and the planet.

@-Juice- to be fair the holy martyrs either lived humbly their whole life or were brought down to humility by highly spiritual experiences. Generally speaking, they were never rich, or even popular, durring their ministry.

Surely you are familiar with this scripture:
It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of god,
Interperet it how you will

@Yorumi the things no-one talks about.

@Mortenb I agree it's possible for crypto to become more energy efficient and have already improved with the switch to proof of stake.... Not entirely sure sure if we can actually afford devoting so much of our climate related R&D to this sort of thing but I digress.

But it also sounds like you don't actually know how banks compare in terms of energy per transaction... Am I understanding that correctly?
