Re: Video: "It's Actually...Really Good" - Our Hot 'Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour' Preview Take

Phle

Honestly, I’m probably not buying it. I would have played it if it was free, but I rather buy a full game than half game, half manual that cost money. What if next time you buy a vacuum cleaner you would have to pay extra for getting a manual with it 🤦🏼‍♀️ it doesn’t matter if the manual have some pretty pictures and that it’s well written! It’s still a scam if it’s not included!

Re: Video: Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back - Evolution Gets Gorgeous New Movie Trailer

Phle

This trailer is full of plot spoilers! I know most people have seen it before, but there’s got to be some people out there who’s watching this for the first time!
And seriously what is with this music? I don’t think it’s a bad song, but wouldn’t this trailer be better with actual trailer style, and not just this weird music video feeling?

Re: Feature: Nintendo E3 2019 - What Are You Hoping For?

Phle

I am insanely hyped for Animal Crossing. If Nintendo delivers Animal Crossing with launch this year, I will be happy. In that case, there will be no complaints from me, even if they spend 20 minutes talking about the next smash character.

Re: Random: Sony's PS4 State Of Play Presentation Made 'Nintendo Direct' Trend On Twitter

Phle

Copying awesome ideas is always smart.

Nintendo Direct has been a feature from Nintendo and they have been using it for several years now.
Considering how the players seems to love these presentations, it’s very easy to understand why Sony would want to get in on the ride.

On the side note, I missed the broadcast as they never really reach out to me in a way that catch my attention. Nintendo always send me emails about upcoming Nintendo Directs, and as they don’t send me too much trash emails, I always notice.
Sony does however send me several trash emails with no real information and that has caused me to ignore or just barely glance at their mails. They should learn not to overuse the fact that I have email notifications on.
Just send me mails when you’ve actually got something Sony! Learn from Nintendo’s carefully chosen number well made emails, that would do you good.

Re: Google Reveals Stadia, Its Vision Of A Cloud Gaming Future

Phle

Well, I like that they went with no hardware. Because I’m not interested in that.
I could be interested in trying their game stream service, I would like being able to play games I usually play on my iMac on portable devices, like an iPad or iPhone. But I’m really picky with games. They better bring good ones. I’m not a fan of typical mobile games.

Re: Just To Make It Clear, id Software Has No Involvement With Doom: Annihilation

Phle

Doesn’t look very good. I can’t believe they went with a girl as the main character and even if that not so bad, why did they go with a thin girl? Isn’t this supposed to be like a marine solider or something? They could at least have chosen a muscular girl. Someone who looked like she could carry 20kg of weapons and fight big nasty monsters at the same time...

Re: Talking Point: Could Nintendo Ditch Physical Media With A 'Switch Lite?'

Phle

Personally, I love buying physical games, and where I live, physical games are more expensive than downloading and you often have to wait for games to be delivered from online stores, as physical stores are even more expensive and they have a poor selection of physical games available.
Even so, I usually pay more and wait a few days for the physical game. Especially after I just bought my boyfriend a Nintendo Switch and getting physical games let him play them on his Switch instead of using mine.
However, some people might be interested in a digital switch, but I don’t think it’s ever going to be for me.

Re: Sakurai Battled Through Health Issues With An IV Drip During Smash Ultimate Development

Phle

It’s easy for us to say that he needs to give himself more time to relax. To take a vacation. That’s the obvious answer to people hearing about his work schedule.

He has the money and the possibility to take time of work, from what others can see.

But we’re not him. Maybe he isn’t the type of person who can take time of work and be happy at the same time? People are different, they have different requirements to feel happy.
I could be wrong and of course I would love for him to rest a few months at some beach, but I don’t want to tell him that I know better than he does how he should live his life.

Re: Gallery: A Complete Breakdown Of The Pokémon Sword And Shield Trailer

Phle

The starter that appeals most to me is the water type, Sobble. I was so amazed by Froakie and it’s evolutions in X and Y, so maybe that’s why I think Sobble looks so promising. I’m kind of hoping that it will have a cool second type eventually.
Scorbunny looks like it might evolve into something that’s fire and fight. I really hope that isn’t the case. That’s been done enough to fire starters right now.

Re: Game Freak Thanks Pokémon Fans For Continued Support Over The Past 23 Years

Phle

Pokémon is always going to have an important part of my heart.
I first watched the anime when I was 14, that’s 20 years ago. After that I continued to follow the anime, at one point in my life, the only thing I had to look forward to was to watch the new episode on sunday mornings. When I say “only thing” I’m not even exaggerating. I was sick and lived in a hospital. I had no social life and really nothing to live for. Pokémon was everything to me.
I still love Pokémon even though my life is much more normal now. I’ll definitely pick up the next Pokémon game, and in the meantime I’ll be playing Pokémon Go and Let’s Go Pikachu.

Re: Wait A Minute, Is That Marina From Splatoon 2 On The Xbox One Dashboard?

Phle

I don’t know if this is real, but I wouldn’t mind Splatoon 2 on Xbox, at least as long as cross play with the switch is supported. More players in Splatoon is always a good thing. I honestly really like the idea of more online cross play between different consoles and even PC, not just for Splatoon. I think Nintendo and Microsoft could really find something that might give us the best online experience yet.

Re: Sony Gaming Boss On The "Great Experiences" Available On Switch And A More Open Future

Phle

It never hurts to be nice, I really think some of these companies should be less afraid of praising the competition, it’s not going to hurt them at all.
However, I do also believe they should be careful of making fun of a company who isn’t doing well at the moment, no matter what company it is.

I just think everyone will have a better time with less hate and more acceptance.

Re: Reggie: Don't Expect Nintendo Switch Online To "Mirror" The Competition

Phle

I don’t understand why people are so mean to Reggie, he isn’t all powerful. I think he knows that the current online offer is lacking, but I personally believe Nintendo will do something about that. I really believe they have a plan. It might take a while before it’s applied however, that would be a classic Nintendo move.

Re: Masahiro Sakurai Rules Out A Modern Port Of Kid Icarus: Uprising

Phle

Kid Icarus: Uprising is an amazing gem on the 3DS, I loved every moment of that game. The controls where good and accurate, but at the same time unusual, so they would surely be difficult to tranfer to the switch. Also considering the game would have to go from being a two screen game to running on one screen, I can understand that it would take a lot of effort porting the game to the switch.
I would have loved it though.

Re: Niantic Does Not Intend To Increase The Level Cap In Pokémon Go

Phle

I’ve stopped trying to level. After level 35, there isn’t really much point to it, and I’m currently level 38. There isn’t anything that will unlock for me at level 40. I can fully power up Pokémon and I’ve been able to do that since level 36 or 37. At this point I will probably reach level 40 in less than 6 months and I see no reason at all to rush.

However I do think adding more levels would scare away new players. Getting to level 30 (the most important level milestone in the game at the moment) is already quite time demanding and even though they have added more ways to get experience than ever before, I still believe it would seem unachievable for newcomers if they had to reach level 50 at some point.

Re: Guide: How To Check IVs And Catch Pokémon With Flawless IVs In Pokémon: Let's Go On Nintendo Switch

Phle

@KingdomHeartsFan I actually like breeding for those perfect IV’s, but I’ve known about this since I first got Pokémon Diamond at launch a long time ago. And after the modification they added to the breeding in generation 6, it became rather doable to get at least 5 perfect IV’s after some breeding. You need the egg moves anyway, so breeding is usually needed to make good Pokémon. I actually think the lack of competitive play in Pokémon Let’s Go sounds kind of depressing. I’ve just started on Let’s Go Pikachu and haven’t made it to the endgame yet, but it seems that Pokémon Let’s Go ends where all other Pokémon games begin...

Re: People Are Review-Bombing Pokémon: Let's Go Across Major Sites, Amazon Japan Blocks User Scores

Phle

This is sad. It’s still optional to pick up this game.

Personally, I’m planning on enjoying the game as much as possible, I play both classic Pokémon games and Pokémon Go. I’ve never played Pokémon Yellow before, so I thought maybe I can experience some of that in this game. I have ordered Let’s Go Pikachu, but it hasn’t been delivered yet. I’m not going to let all these kids destroy my experience, I’ll just avoid all the reviews and more about this game.
