Re: Pokémon GO's Revenue Smashes Past $6 Billion

Sorry if this ruffles any feathers, but I for one love Pokemon Go. It has a great feedback loop imo and there's a lovely little stretch in my home town where I can go for walks and hit plenty of stops. I also have friends who are consistently active and enjoy raids and such though, so I'm sure that helps drive my own engagement.

Re: Pokémon Trading Card Scalpers Are Causing Some Ugly Scenes Right Now

PirateJake195

I love collecting Pokemon cards, but I can't enjoy one of my favorite hobbies now without paying out the nose for it because these people who likely care nothing about Pokemon want to scam people for easy money. I know that there are much more pressing issues in the world, but I see this as greedy people taking advantage of a situation.

Re: Poll: Did The Nintendo Direct Mini: Partners Showcase Meet Your Expectations?

I was personally pretty excited by this direct. I see a lot of people bouncing off of Rogue Company, but I personally think it looks like a very interesting and potentially solid entry in the "battle Royale" genre. Also, Cadence of Hyrule getting new content AND a physical release is great, and I love to see this kind of collaboration between Nintendo and Indie developers. Finally, while Shin Megami Tensei isn't my thing personally, I know it has its fans and I can tell even as a non fan that both SMT V and the HD remaster of the older game look like very high quality releases. Overall, very positive direct.
