@TG16_IS_BAE My brother had the exact same reaction. He got sick of the rude villagers and catching only trash when he fished. So he took a Bullet Bill cannon, pointed it at his front door, and never played another Animal Crossing game ever.

Anyway, I scored 21/25.

@BabyYoshi65 I'm scanning the episodes for the drawing. These are the timecodes where it shows up.

#2 - 0:12 (It's on Oleana's desk and gets covered by a binder.)
#3 - Doesn't appear.
#4 - 5:20 (Nessa visits Oleana, knocks papers on desk loose)

@BabyYoshi65 The connecting thread is the Corviknight Taxi, which shows up in every episode. That's the "twilight wings".

It's a slice-of-live anthology. I'm willing to bet that the finale will tie all the characters together. Why else would they keep showing the sick boy's drawing?

@Whyita It (and his alias Mandrag Ganon) were mentioned in the English manual for "A Link to the Past". I'm pretty sure they've never been mentioned in-game.

10/10 Forgot Link's Crossbow training. Have read the Link to the Past manual.

About the official Zelda timeline - I believe it only exists because of a conspiracy theory among certain fans. I was on the Nintendo Power forums during the N64 / GameCube era. There were people on the Zelda board who were convinced that Shigeru Miyamoto had planned out the entire history of Hyrule Tolkien-style. They believed that whenever Nintendo started a new game Miyamoto would pick the era he wanted to cover, reveal the necessary details to the dev team, and then would keep the rest secret. These fans were convinced that any inconsistencies between the games would be explain if only Nintendo would release the timeline.

On top of that, there was the Single Link / Multi-Link debate. Some people believed that there was only one Link who was the star of all of the games, like Mario or Samus Aran. Others believed that with the exception of direct sequels (like Zelda II or Link's Awakening) there was a new Link in every game.

In the early 2000s the official Zelda website had a Flash interface where you controlled Link and walked around a map to go to different pages. This site had a timeline for the series that was Single-Link based. They claimed he met multiple Princess Zeldas because of time-travel and occasional suspended animation.

Then Wind Waker came along and shot Single-Link theory in the head. Multi-Link was now undeniable canon but fans still wanted a complete history of Hyrule. EVERYTHING needed to be filled in.

It got so bad that some fans were convinced that Twilight Princess would tell the story of the flood described in Wind Waker. They seemed to think this would make everything in the series (and their lives) make sense. They didn't care when I pointed out that WW explicitly states that the flood happened BECAUSE a Link DID NOT appear. They just replied "he could be one of the people praying for Ganondorf to be stopped". How do you make a game about that?!

Anyway, that's the history of the Zelda Timeline. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

I got them all. I remembered the Rice Grasshopper from New Leaf.

@bwellington Why? I saw this when it was first posted to Reddit yesterday. Nothing in these screenshots is impossible.

@JesWood13 Yes, along with Machamp and Snorlax, all three in both games. Their event is running alongside this one.

Your hawks will hunt, pelicans will fish, and geese will drag your rake into the lake.

And I thought Dexit was bad.

@Iggy-Koopa You've got me beat. I was only 13 when the show was on. The only episode I remember is when Daedalus befriends the sick boy and wants the Prince to embrace him. My hometown didn't have a hobby or book shop so I hadn't heard of the RPG.

My dad loved vampire stuff. He really got into the show. When it was cancelled he joked that it was because "it got too close to the truth". (It was actually because the Prince's actor had died but we didn't know that.)

Dad died in 1999. A few years later my brother got "Bloodlines". When I read the instruction book I thought some things sounded familiar...

Time to play Spot the Old People: Anyone remember "Kindred: The Embraced"? It was a TV show on Fox based on Vampire: The Masquerade. It only ran for one season in 1996.

While the "Welcome amiibo" update was free most of the good stuff was locked behind buying amiibo figures and cards. It made me quit the game for a couple years out of frustration.

I'd much rather pay a flat $25 - $30 fee for DLC than be nickel-and-dimed like that again.

@PikaPhantom Because Unova is the only region whose name is different in all translations of the games. The other regions go by their the Japanese names in all languages.
Unova's Japanese name is "Isshu", which was probably an issue for the translators.

@kickyring I believe so. That's how they did multiplayer during the E3 demo. It's covered under "up to four residents of one island can play simultaneously on one console".

Over on Reddit someone pointed out that the Nintendo Rewards Animal Crossing calendar lists a birthday for an unknown character "CJ". Current theory is that it's the young beaver and it's short for "Chip Jr".

I don't watch Steven Universe but from what I've heard they often take something's nickname and make it the official name within the SU universe.
For example, the show takes place on the USA's east coast in the state of Delmarva. In the real world "Delmarva" is the nickname of the peninsula east of Washington, DC and the Chesapeake Bay. The name comes from the peninsula being shared by three states - Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia.

@TonyTyga90 I'd call Animal Crossing the "less complicated and more fun" version of the Sims. There's no micromanaging lots of characters; you control only your avatar. AC also has a real-time clock and calendar which I don't think the Sims has.

I'd like to point out that Dexit has not really taken effect because Home is not available yet. Which Pokemon you can or can't transfer doesn't matter when transferring itself isn't available.

During the first months of XY we were stuck with its 450+ Pokemon until Bank was released. When Sun & Moon first came out we only had its 300+ Pokemon until Bank updated. Sword & Shield's limited Pokedex is not some magical thing gifted to us by Dexit - it's business as usual.

Nothing about "Pokemon: Detective Pikachu"? I think the first live-action Pokemon film / second live-action Nintendo film deserves a mention.

I saw that Stardew Valley update was updating when I went to download Puzzle Book (today's free game in the QubicGames promotion). Did not expect that it was THE update.

@LordGeovanni I did see your whole post but I think I misunderstood you. I thought you were saying that pros would think Dexit was affecting the current rules but I think you meant that pros would look at how Dexit will affect future years. Sorry about that!

I'm willing to bet that GameFreak will release a new game next year with a different assortment of Pokemon and limit the competitive scene to it.

@NoxAeturnus And they claim that if your cards are in the storage facility they MIGHT become tournament legal again. But they won't tell you ahead of time if that's happened - you have to pay an entry fee for the tournament to find out.

@LordGeovanni Professionals who know their history won't be upset. Since Gen 5 the first year of a generation has always been limited to regional Pokemon. Dexit would't come in until the second year, when traditionally the National Dex is allowed (minus Uber Legends - they're saved for the final year).

@Crockin What's there to gripe about? These are standard first-year-of-a-new-generation rules. Other than the Gigantamax ban they're the same as the first year of Kalos and Alola.

@Galenmereth "The funny thing is, had Game Freak listened to all its fans for all these years, we'd be left with a complete mess of a game not accessible to anyone, anywhere, but the most fanatically involved minority."

Yes, a Pokemon game with difficulty settings, skippable tutorials, easy-to-use multiplayer, and a robust post-game would be an unplayable mess.

There are genuine problems with the Pokemon franchise that Game Freak has been ignoring. Dexit was simply the straw that broke the Camerupt's back.

@Pineapple_Mohawk Yeah, that game is called either "Mafia" or "Werewolf" depending on what names you give the different roles.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Werewolf_(social_deduction_game)
EDIT: From the descriptions, I'd say the monkeys are the Masons (a group of villagers who all know they're not werewolves), the snake and crow are variants of the Seer (who can find out what team someone is on), and the spider is the Bodyguard (who can protect one person from death each night).

A Freddie Mercury reference (0:40 - 0:43)? I'm in.

@Browny "Waifu Shenanigans" sounds like the name of a all-girl singing group. Their rivals would be Trap Roulette, a group of 5 guys in drag and one girl. Nobody outside of the group knows who the real girl is.

I think I just wrote an anime.

@Xelha CRAB BATTLE!!!

@DanTheSausage It is a defect caused by poor design. An Imgur user name rainbopython, who's an electrical engineer, disassembled a JoyCon. They discovered that the contact pads are made of graphite. The stick's sliders have metal prongs that scrap against that graphite when the stick is moved. This wears the contact pads down and their dust builds up inside the stick. The built-up dust causes phantom inputs and thus the drifting.

@MeloMan Yup. In the VHS era it could take 6 months to a year. Nowadays the average is 3 to 4 months.

The Direct did say that Dynamaxing can only be done in special locations. Time code 13:10 - "These Gym-Stadiums are constructed in very special locations that allow for Pokemon to be Dynamaxed." The raids occur at small rock openings in the Wild Area that shoot out pink energy. I bet the gyms are built on larger geysers of that energy.

The British Isles are full of legends about giants. I bet the Dynamax mechanic is based on them, just like how Z-Move poses come from hula dancing.

@EasyDaRon That is true. In its 13-week run Warcraft earned over $433 million worldwide. And Detective Pikachu has earned 66% of that ($287 million) in less than 2 weeks. My money is on the electric mouse.

@EasyDaRon Let me spell out my metaphor: Other video game movies are the baseline (the Volvo). Detective Pikachu had a bigger opening than any of them and is likely to surpass their final totals (the Ferrari). Avengers Endgame is not a video game movie and its box office is a statistical outlier, so including it in this comparison isn't fair (the fighter jet).

@EasyDaRon I gotta be honest, I'm genuinely confused about what your point is. Are you saying that because Detective Pikachu didn't equal Avengers Endgame's insane numbers it's therefore not more successful than any other video game movie? Just because a Ferrari can't outrun a fighter jet doesn't mean it's as slow as a Volvo.

@EasyDaRon You're comparing what Prince of Persia made in 17 weeks to what Detective Pikachu has made in less than 2.

All this means is that during recording Reynolds ad-libbed some R-rated jokes for giggles. Robin Williams did the same while recording the Genie. Didn't raise the movie's rating because the film makers didn't include them in the final cut.

Hardcore Pokemon fans know the franchise is FULL of dirty jokes. Red & Blue has a peeping tom, Black & White has a flasher, X&Y uses a penis joke to explain camera focus, and...Nuggets. Do I need to explain Nuggets?

I frikkin' love this game. It's such a bonkers concept but well executed. My biggest complaint was the money system (having separate wallets for each owner and the insanely high prices for gear). Sequel please!

@Noid A fellow Mole Mania fan. You are a person of culture and taste.

I wonder if we'll see the Purrloin mug someone.

Charizard looks so happy to see Justice Smith. Must be a Jurassic World fan.

@LaytonPuzzle27 They're talking about feedback on the trailers and other promotional stuff. There have been test screenings and the response to them was overwhelmingly positive.

@Chibi_Manny Ryan Reynolds didn't do the voice in the game. That was Kaiji Tang. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaiji_Tang

When I first saw the movie trailer I figured one of the twists of the movie. When you all see it you'll know exactly why DeVito wasn't cast.

@Mrtoad Thank you! I was just about to say that.

@duffmmann @pupypup I have completed the Detective Pikachu game. The answer is:

***SPOILER WARNING***

We don't fully know. The game finishes the case Harry was working on when he disappeared but it leaves his whereabouts and the full story behind Pikachu on a cliffhanger.

There are clues about what happened to Pikachu. I think I've got it worked out but it's rather long and extra spoilery.

I've only played X. Not a racing game expert but I liked it. My only experience with GX was overhearing this conversation in a game store between a little boy holding a GX box and his father:
Boy: "Captain Falcon game!"
Father: "Can you play that with your brother?"
Boy: "Captain Falcon game!!!"
Father: "If you two can't play it together, I'm not buying it."
Boy: "CAPTAIN FALCON GAME!!!!!!!!!"
Father: "Put it down. We're leaving."

@N00BiSH I was 1 year old when Footloose came out. I was 21 when Shrek 2 came out. In that two decades I've heard that song countless times on the radio. It was also used in three other movies during that time: Short Circuit 2, Who's Harry Crumb?, and Bandits. Shrek 2 didn't make Holding Out for a Hero famous. Shrek 2 used it because it was already a famous song, just like All Star or Livin' La Vida Loca.
