Just give me my sweet gigantamax Toxtricity instead!

Good. Illegal activities should be judged according to it. Hopefully they can set an example of what you shouldn't do.

I'm surprised though that people sanctify them as freedom fighters and ignore how they broke the law. "The purpose justifies the means" my butt! That's just ignorance, and a dangerous tendency in other aspects

I am SO tempted to get political.... well, let me at least say that I'm not surprised at all 😂

Alex used reasonable arguments
It's super effective!

Can't wait to see if I'll like the game myself

@YozenFroghurt

But it's not useless. According to what they said, future Pokemon games will have other Pokemon from earlier games, so even if you can't use a Pokemon in this title, you still can in future games. They didn't say that your children can use all of them in a single game

@WarpSpawn
I also wondered about that xD That doesn't have anything to do with the models.
You can also argue that the animations from for example the camp make them higher quality. (they didn't say battle animation)

We need a time machine so those snowflake kiddos can get legally spanked

@Maelwolf

Entitlement is a keyword these years...

Wow... That moment when the gym leaders went slowly into the arena and the fast pacing clips in the end of the trailer were really well done. Just that makes me more excited to play the game than I thought I would be
applauses

I think it was the right thing to do.
Let me say this a a former hardcore pokemon fan, I am so ashamed! Don't get me wrong, I really understand how you can be disappointed that your favorite Pokemon isn't available, but I get so disgusted by the majority of the reactions, which are much harsher than an "I'm so sad" comment". Some are more innocent like "I will never buy game!" While some are as serious as death threats. What they all have in common is that they behave as they are entitled to all pokemon available in the game. You are not entitled to anything. At the end of the day, they are a company and you are a consumer, as long as they make profit, they owe you as much as your local MC Donald.
I can't surf on the internet without getting walls of texts about this, I may just read the newspaper instead untill the worst is over (untill the next game is announced), and that makes me in a bad mood (or hangry, you decide). If a game can ruin your life in such a way, I would suggest to melt the golden calf and consider your priorities in life

So in other words... I can't play pet simulators on my switch in case if they start peeing? Dangit!

By the way, does the pee warning count humans as well? I'm asking for a friend

That's awesome

@Silly_G
Don't you worry, I agree completely with you
When I say equality, i mean that anybody should have equal opportunities, or in other words: You're rewarded by your efforts, not by what gender you have, not only in economic capital but also in social capital

@Savino
Feminism should be honored and supported. The problem is what kind of feminism an individual supports.

First of all, it's no good when feminism goes from focusing on equality to dominance. You should be judged by how capable you are for a job, not that there needs to be a equal percent of each gender for the sake of diversity. That's just plain stupid and has a risk of affecting the quality of a product.

Secondly, I can't support biological determinism... that's too much in the spirit of Baumann

This will be my first since B/W (beside Let's Go, but I wouldn't really count that). I'm ready for an adventure with my soon-to-be new friend, Sobble!

@Lordplops
That's as true as it can be

@Zuljaras

If she's convinced that Mario and Luigi aren't real humans but humanoid, it would makes sense.... Even though those manly moustaches should trigger any radical feminist 🧐

But... Doug Bowser is a white heterosexual man? 🤔
Must be one of those so-called fake news 😂

@jump
"First post...this isn't the Persona you're looking for."

On the contrary... when I first heard about Persona 5, I was disappointed that it wasn't an action game with RPG elements, so this is a dream come true :3

please let them announce the global release soon

Some pages have also taken the leaks down now.... What a relief -.-

Already pre-ordered Pokemon Sword. We'll see if there's time (and money) for anything else

Those final evolutions for the starters are amazing! It's the first time in for a Pokemon game that I don't know which starter I should choose...

And more important than anything else, they look much better than the Sun and Moon starters (yuck!)

By the way... I may imagine things but does that fox look like it wants to take my money!?

Played some of the game together with my 4 year old son... It was good craic!

@SwitchForce
"Your again doing a Apples to Oranges"

No, you're just making a straw man.

"This is not art or media and you keep grabbing for Apples to Oranges."

False. The code, music, scenes, script, and characters are protected by the copyright law, which under the same law as art and media.

"No you don't take Fornite and the guy talking about his dance moves saying that was copyright and guess what the Courts said "NO"."

No, you're right, I don't take that Fortnite case seriously and have never done it since it goes under scenes a faire. A dance move like in Fortnite is too vague to be copyrightable.

"Actually you forgot Disney has Copyright on Micky Mouse likeness so you clearly don't know this."

Dude... now you're just nitpicking. It was a simple example I made up. I haven't claimed to be a disney law expert, so that's just irrelevant.

I see that I hit a nerve, and that can't really be avoided. I can only say that I never try to provoke other people so I'm sorry if you feel that way.
What I need to say though is that it's not okay to go personal with name calling. I couldn't care less because you're just data on a screen, but verbal abuse, whether it's small or great, is not appropriate on a site where even young ones should be able to feel a community without being afraid of expressing their thoughts, and that's what can happen with such writing. Therefore, please behave yourself from now on. A good etiquette is how we can have a good atmosphere.

@NImH You can't really compare Bendy since they (as far as I know) only have a similar 1930's artstyle, which would be considered "scenes a faire" which is not copyrighted

@SwitchForce Look at my reply to him

But you don't need to patent it since there's copyright for expression of ideas The rule of thumb for media and art is that an idea by itself is not protected by the copyright law as it is intangible. However, as soon as you have expressed an idea in a tangeable form, you have copyright on it. That can be quite a subjective matter, but the more something resembles another something else in media and art, the more likely it will break the copyright infringement.
For example, a black mouse with red shorts on will certainly get unnoticed, but if you call it mikee moose, you will likely get an angry call from Disney if it gets too popular

I'm SO ready for halloween!

@boywundr
Sorry if I expressed it as if it was the same as science. What I meant is that I can relate to if some developers wouldn't be so chuffed if they saw a shameless copy.
On the other hand, you don't need it to be the same coding, even though that it would make the case easier. what it needed is to prove that it breaks the copyright infringement for protection of expressions of ideas. This can be quite subjective and therefore difficult in some cases, but I would give an (unqualified) guess that this would be one of the easier cases. A negotiation between the parts though could be a benefit if it leads to a high enough percent of the profits compared to a potential loss from "Cuphead"

@SwitchForce There's a big difference between getting ideas from other games (that's legal). What's problematic is that you can have tributes, getting inspired, and have references as much as you want to, but when you start copying a big chunk of what defines the source, it's illegal if you're not authorized to do it... that's just flipping the bird to the original source.
If I suddenly saw some guy copying pages of one of my science reports and claiming it his own work, I would get pretty miffed, especially if gets undeserved fame

My problem with this game is that you can just switch out the main character designs with Cuphead and Mugman, and it will look just like a direct sequel to Cupheads.... It's not just a rip-off, it screams of plagiarism, and that's just disgusting!

I really want to try it, but the visual style in the trailer made me ill for some reason...

I don't think they would dare making false advertisement, especially with such a sensitive topic.

I personally am not the least worried. The Pokémon they exclude will more than likely be the least popular and/or the most useless ones

"I played on the loo. Try telling me now that it’s hardly the best way to play! #tmi"

@Murbs Isn't that just the only true way to play the game? 😂

I'm quite surprised how great the game plays on Switch... if I am able get more than one kill, it means that they have done it preeetty well!

Wait a second.... a pikachu that is dressed as a mimikyu that is dressed as pikachu? Pokéception!

@Heavyarms55
The great surprise in the season will be that the characters won't be eternal preteens anymore the curse has been broken!

It's quite odd though... We know that you definitely can die in the anime, but can you die of old age? 🤔

Ontopic: I don't know about these new characters... They're acceptable but I think they look a little bit too bland. If they are going to create new characters, go all out with it and make them memorable

So while they developed the PlayStation game, they got distracted by a SNES game?

Well played Nintendo... Well played

They could do a 2D/3D like Dragon Quest :'D

Bought it the other day, and I must say that it's an extremely fun game

Would be awesome if it they put it in SW/SH

Imagine it battling together with posh gentleman Wheezing

Well, at least it means that Devil May Cry is on the way (and dare I wish for Devil May Cry 5 some day?)

For now, none of them.... liked the demo, but Ni No Kuni was just a little too tempting (though it feels like I'm betraying Hero.... maybe next time)

Aaaand of course he starts playing Cuphead... Well thought, lad

@May_Nyan

Tell me about it.... The Brits I spent my time with when I lived in Great Britain told me that they had perfected the art of being offended... It's good craic so it is

Well, I personally love the new Pokemon, especially the British-type Wheezing (how can you not like that posh gentleman..... Or is it gentlemen?)

Always hungry for a new game if it's worth buying!

There's just one thing that puzzles me and that's the emphasis on global playing. Yes, we have seen Nintendo Switch played in every corner of the world (even in space), but why suddenly show where this ring is played? Is there an emphasis on not just sociality but global sociality perhaps?

@sleepinglion

A few games? There will be 20+ games on it and that's too little to get a controller? Excuse me but would you even have time to really enjoy those games if the libary expanded to 200?

For me there are enough games right now to play for at minimum a couple of months... they can slow down a bit if they want to (my wallet would appreciate it even though my brain screams for more)

Please.... I played as Sans!
(Banjo and Kazooie will be later today)

@HappyMaskedGuy Cramorant reminds me of Magicarp design-wise. Imagine what a team that would be!

@oji
It's required for an Eevee to evolve into a Peevee

After playing it for 15 minutes, I can say that it's one of those games that I'm really gonna enjoy! The real problem is that I'm also going through my second playthrough in Fire Emblem these days..... so goodbye sleep, I knew you well

Preordered now. Can't wait to play this lovely game!

A pet unicorn? Count me in!
