@ThanosReXXX It's just that some british dialetcs stretch the A sound into an AR, so Glass would be Glarss, Master would be Marster, Dance would be Darnce and Rayquaza would by Ray-qua-zar.
@ThanosReXXX I probably didn't word my comment that well, Dodger was asking why A sounds are sometimes like AR sounds and if it was a dialect thing, Glass and Master were just to illustrate the dialect thing and how certain pronounciations will make an A into an AR.
That's whether it's in the middle or the end of the word by the way,
It midly bothers me how many of you lot say Arceus wrong. It's a fusion of Arc and Deus, When Silvally's ability, a type changer very similar to Arceus called R-K-S was revealed, I always saw that as Gamefreak telling people they were pronouncing Arceus wrong.
Also i've never heard anyone say Sudowoodo out loud so the way I pronounce that must be a big outlier, mine wasn't even an option.
@Alpha008 I'm pretty sure some of the bundles did increase in price but maybe i'm misremembering.
Anyway saying microtransactions are optional is a little misleading, when I first got it I thought the game was grindy and it turns out it was by design, we see this in games where microtransactions are removed, they often have to entirely rebalance the entire in game economy as a result because the game becomes too frustrating (Shadow of War for example). There's no option to just have a less grindy game, the prices, the drip feeding of wumpa coins, the trickle of nitro fuel has all been meticulosly put together with the intent to get people spending.
I'm not here to preach to anyone, if you genuinely haven't noticed a change and you're enjoying the game then I'm happy for you. I just don't support models like this on principle because I find them cyncial and to the active detriment to the game.

@Dm9982 I see. Thanks for the info.
Re: Don't Forget About Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic, It's Also Out Now On Nintendo Switch
I have a question I hope someone here can answer. If I buy this, will EA receive even a penny of my money?

Joe Zieja is silently seething right now.
Re: Fittingly, Tropico 6 Has Just Launched On Nintendo Switch
I played Tropico 4 back in the day and enjoyed it, so I may look into this.
Re: Michel Ancel Responds To Accusations Of Toxic Leadership During His Time At Ubisoft
I can tell from his statement what sort of man he is. Gross.
Re: Poll: What's The Best Paper Mario Game?
We all know which one's gonna win.
Re: New Story DLC For The Outer Worlds Is Coming To Nintendo Switch In The Future
I'd definitely be interested in this, I enjoyed the base game so if the DLC is substantial i'll probably buy it.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 4th)
I'm hoping to finish The Outer Worlds this weekend. Might play some Pokemon too.
Re: Can You Name These Switch Games From Their Menu Icons?
@BishopShiozawa Hellblade, it was on this quiz.
Re: Can You Name These Switch Games From Their Menu Icons?
16/21 I'm happy with that
Re: Anime Series Re:ZERO − Starting Life In Another World Comes To Switch As A Tactical Adventure Game
@Aurumonado Blue haired demon lady. To be fair she is the best character in Re:zero
Re: Multiple Amazon Listings Hint At Unannounced Switch Games From Several Major Publishers
@MrGawain I would genuinely buy Rockstar Table Tennis if it came to Switch.
Re: Catherine: Full Body Will Get A Demo On Switch, File Size And Other Details Revealed
I thought Catherine was a single player only game?
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 7th)
This weekend I'm gonna finally start Spyro reignited and play some Fire Emblem and some Pokemon.
Re: Claude From Fire Emblem: Three Houses Cosplays As Claude From Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Fear the Deer!!!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 1st)
Happy Febrururururary everyone!
I'm playing Dragon Quest 11, Pokemon Sword and, if it arrives, Tokyo Mirage sessions this weekend.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 4th)
Fire Emblem and Pokemon, oh and Brain Training too (My brain age result wasn't great)
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 30th)
Probably just Pokemon Sword this weekend, I've been trying to get a G-max Butterfree but it keeps escaping.
Re: Bethesda Delays Switch Version Of The Elder Scrolls: Blades Until Early Next Year
Oh no... I was so looking forward to playing this "game"
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #17 - Ninja Gaiden
It's not very Ninja-ry, but I think the NA box art is probably the best.
To be honest they're all rather poor though.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 16th)
Pretty much just Pokemon Sword. I'm about halfway through, it's decent so far, but nothing mindblowing. I'm aiming to finish it this weekend.
Re: Review: Garfield Kart Furious Racing - A Rancid, Regurgitated Hairball Of A Racer
'That Garfield film with Bill Murray in it was quite good, wasn't it?'
...no.
Re: Poll: How Do You Pronounce These Pokémon-Related Words?
@ThanosReXXX I don't know the origin sadly, i'd be interested to find out though.
Re: Poll: How Do You Pronounce These Pokémon-Related Words?
@ThanosReXXX It's just that some british dialetcs stretch the A sound into an AR, so Glass would be Glarss, Master would be Marster, Dance would be Darnce and Rayquaza would by Ray-qua-zar.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 9th)
Some more Fire Emblem and i'm at the stage where Bloodstained has had enough patches for me to brave the Switch version.
Re: Poll: How Do You Pronounce These Pokémon-Related Words?
@Dodger It can be, are you thining of words like Glass and Master, where a British person might pronouce those with an R sound?
Re: Poll: How Do You Pronounce These Pokémon-Related Words?
It midly bothers me how many of you lot say Arceus wrong. It's a fusion of Arc and Deus, When Silvally's ability, a type changer very similar to Arceus called R-K-S was revealed, I always saw that as Gamefreak telling people they were pronouncing Arceus wrong.

Re: Rumour: A Cancelled Fire Emblem Remake Could Be Resurrected On Nintendo Switch
I'd love a remake of FE6 and FE7, hopefully it's that. I'd be suprised if Nintendo remade Genealogy in this day and age, considering...you know.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #15 - Super Mario Bros.
It's a miracle, all three are actually good this time round!
I voted for Europe, I like the colour scheme and there's more going on than the NA version.
Re: The Overwatch 2 Leak Was Extremely Demoralising For The Development Team
If this was another company I'd have more sympathy but this is Blizzard.
What I find more demoralising than leaks is Blizzard's appalling recent behaviour.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #14 - Flashback
The Japanese one was the most striking so I went for that.
Re: Two Spooky NES Games Are Creeping Onto The Switch eShop This Week
I saw NES games in the title and thought Nintendo were adding some titles to Switch Online, they should probably do that at some point.
@Krisi What happened to Clock Tower anyway? I liked that franchise.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #13 - Goemon's Great Adventure
Europe easily for me, who thought that weird pre rendered NA art was a good idea?
Re: First-Person Survival Horror Game Agony Will Torment Switch This Halloween
Having played this, I can attest that Agony is a completely accurate title for this game.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 12th)
Dragon Quest XI and Fire Emblem this weekend.

Re: Bonus Seasonal Content Is On The Way To Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled
I stopped playing this when they added microtransactions to it.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #10 - GoldenEye 007
I clicked on the "once you see it, you can never unsee it" link and now I regret everything.
Oh I voted for Japan, the others are too logo heavy for my liking.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 28th)
I'm nearing the end of Astral Chain so I'll try to finish that this weekend. If I manage to, I'll start Dragon Quest XI and Ori and the Blind Forest.
Re: Poll: Four Dragon Quest Games Are Out Today On Switch, Which Are You Getting?
I purchased XI and the first one.
Re: Daemon X Machina To Receive 1-On-1 And 2-On-2 Battle Modes, Future Plans Detailed
I wonder if this is related to the message "contains in game purhases" on the eshop page for this game.
Re: Feature: How Significant Is Britain's Influence On Pokémon Sword And Shield?
You missed the reference to the Cerne Abbas Giant.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #9 - The Legend Of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX
Was going to vote Japan but I can't get over Link's face so Europe gets my vote this time.
Re: E3 Reportedly Set To Be Rebranded As A "Fan, Media And Influencer Festival" Next Year
@Anti-Matter Youtubers, Streamers, Instagram people, that sort of thing.
Re: E3 Reportedly Set To Be Rebranded As A "Fan, Media And Influencer Festival" Next Year
This sounds really bad, something for the shareholders not the public (more so than usual I mean)
Re: Pokémon Loser Ash Ketchum's Lifelong Dream Has Finally Come True
Just gonna say it, Ash should have lost his battle with Hau.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #8 - Metal Gear
I'm honestly more interested in Konami setting up a shell company because of third party limitations, the past is weird.
I voted NA because they're all kind of average but I didn't really care for the background on the other two.
Re: Random: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Is About Video Games, So Don't Expect Goku Or Iron Man
You know you watch too much Dragon Ball when you can look at that screenshot and know exactly which scene it's from.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #7 - Star Fox
Close between Europe and Japan for me this week, I voted Europe because the puppets seem a little too big in the Japanese version.
