Re: Soapbox: Here's How I'd Fix The Pokémon Series

@Munchlax Basically what they've been doing Gen III onwards. A few steps forwards, a few steps back. I don't think things really got too bad until X & Y, but I remember taking note at the age of 12 that features I enjoyed in Gold/Silver were missing in Ruby/Sapphire...

@BowtieShyGuy They couldn't put "Gotta Catch Em All!" on the box, I remember being 12! I still loved Ruby, but even at that age, I was miffed they took aware features (day of the week, time based stuff) that were present in Gold'Silver.

I could see them potentially getting these Pokes in there. I don't really care though, I buy some games close to release, some I enjoy 10 years later. I've been enjoying Pokemon White a fair bit. Still haven't played Sword/Shield. Might some day.

Re: Poll: What Was The Best Switch Launch Game (That Wasn't Zelda: Breath Of The Wild)?

On topic, the only launch title I got was Bomberman...hardly played it. Just never been my thing, would probs be more fun to experience with 4 players. Had Fast RMX on Wii U, and it was pretty sweet. Had the original Shovel Knight on 3DS, really should get the collection! It was an OK release lineup, buoyed by Breath of the Wild. Can't really think of any 'sensational' launches really, ha. It's always either a smattering of decent games, or one awesome flagship title beside one mediocre one.

@Kriven I'm 29, and looking back on all the time I spent on forums when I was 13 onwards, specifically on gamefaqs...man, what a bunch of drivel. A lot of hatred, a lot of impulsivity. It's really rare to find a productive forum of many sorts, especially when socializing is an element. Old discussion forums and newsgroups though, there's information to be mined there.
