Re: Soapbox: What Pokémon GO And The Pokémon Main Series Could Learn From Each Other

I hate how time-consuming it is to build a metagame team. There should be a tournament mode that lets you set IVs and EVs to whatever you want (within legal limits of course) and access to all required items without having to grind for points in Battle Frontiers etc.

When I used to have loads of free time I didn't mind breeding for IVs, hatching eggs etc but now I just want all the time consuming activities to be removed or streamlined. I can't imagine how long it took to breed perfect IV Pokemon pre-Pokemon XY!

Re: Movie Review: Pokémon The Movie: I Choose You!

We didn't get QR codes at our screening, only the card and poster-magazine. Are they available online or are they unique?

As for the movie itself, I liked it! The criticism about the plot is warranted: random heavy scenes, pointless Team Rocket appearances, not showing the battle with Ho-oh (the entire point of the Rainbow Wing!). But it's an enjoyable story.

The Pikachu scene caught me completely off guard but I thought it was touching!

Re: Smash Melee Champ Resigns from All-Male Rules Committee To Encourage Broader Representation

@Nintendoforlife I also wonder why she didn't join initially: I think it was because she simply wasn't interested! (I don't know what the committee environment is like so I can't comment on that). What is disheartening is how everyone thinks she's only joining now for the publicity: it was Lindgren who brought up the issue of gender diversity, and I think she's seen his point and decided to take the post. A person is allowed to change their mind!

Re: Splatoon 2 Designer Explains Why The Maps Rotate And Salmon Run Is Time-Limited

Limiting Salmon Run is understandable because it's so addictive, but the time frame to play it should be wider. People have lives, you know!

Random weapons are a joke, too. SR is hard enough without having to waste time getting used to a weapon class you hate.

Still only having 2 maps in rotation at a time for Turf War is ridiculous and should have ended with the first game. Even if they doubled the number to 4, it would still offer more variety than playing one map 90% of the time.
