@Yorumi You have no idea how many times I've heard the "most profitable media franchise" bit. It really doesn't matter how profitable something is. In my opinion, something as minor as voice-acting doesn't make something cheap. A lot of big-time video games don't have voice-acting yet.

@Ralizah What's wrong with it?

@ThisisJosh Can we please not go the snarky sarcasm route? Why is voice-acting such a big thing now?

@Preposterous Why is voice-acting such a big thing all of a sudden? And what's wrong with the music?

@RevrsblSedgewick What's wrong with it?

@Medic_Alert Not "everyone".

I've never been a fan of RPGs myself. But more power to those who grew up with the Paper Mario games.

@Max_the_German Well, I don't know what to tell you. Both kids and adults get excited for this sort of thing nowadays, especially who grew up with games like Kirby when they were kids. It's not going to be going anywhere.

@zool That's not "drip-feeding". It's called patching. And we're talking about a video game, not food.

@Sun_wukong What does "Labo" mean?

@Max_the_German And a 3ps platformer for children is a bad thing...why?

@zool "Just a game"? You can be excited for a game. As for the "childish" bit, Kirby was always meant to be for kids. And adults. Everybody can play a Kirby game. And Nintendo isn't "drip feeding" anything either.

@mangaTom You don't know that.

Definite improvements. It looks better with every new video.

Who wouldn't want a Piplup in their house?

@Brydontk Yep.

Makes sense for Voltorb to get a new form. It is the Poke Ball Pokemon after all.

@Bolt_Strike Not to mention rumors of there being a Hisuian precursor to Mewtwo.

A lot of people really seemed to like these games. And that's good.

Welp, it's in. Took a little longer than I thought, but it's in.

@ModdedInkling I say give it a try and see if you like it.

I'm glad that she enjoyed her experience. Hopefully it will be the same for the rest of us.

Has it been 20 years already?

@PublicNME9 I know. It's just difficult when some species are rare.

Is it weird that I find Tsareena to be the most attractive Pokemon?

@Porky I never saw challenge as the problem. None of my Pokemon were "over-leveled" anyway.

The artists for the video are very talented.
I do feel the vocals fall a bit flat. In terms of sync and energy, I mean.

@Justaguest I'm already attached to all of my Pokemon with or without the Exp. Share. It shouldn't be much different. Just switch between which Pokemon you want to use next.

@Justaguest I'll be honest, I never had a problem with the Exp. Share, and I don't know why people keep saying it "ruins" everything. Doesn't it make things less tedious?

@Joker1234 Exactly.

@Dragonite89 No, it won't. It's not that low. They're not going to sell "literal trash".

@MrGawain That's sort of the antithesis to what Mario is supposed to be about.

A sequel to Yooka-Laylee? Sign me up!

So it might be a while before I start breeding.

Ah, Black Friday. The time of year when people everywhere flock the stores and your wallet is praying for its life.

@BenAV Eh...not literally.

I'm quite enjoying myself with them so far.

@Gamer_Zeus Nothing about this is flowing over my head, because that's not how it works.
You are perfectly capable of buying these games whether they have an automatic Exp. Share or not. Obviously the Exp. Share isn't something you want in these games, so you choose to skip them. And that's fine. I'm not saying it's bad to skip these games. I understand that you're passing on them because of the Exp. Share, but it's not "forcing" you to skip them because of it. I really don't know what lead to this way of thinking.

You haven't been "forced" to do anything. You just choose not to buy these games because the automatic Exp. Share isn't something you like.

@Gamer_Zeus To be honest, I never saw a problem with Exp. Share in the first place. For me, it made things far less tedious.
And I wasn't talking about the Exp. Share being forced. I was talking about it being ridiculous that you're being forced not to buy these games. You're not. You either want these games or you don't.
But if you don't want to play these games, there's nothing wrong with that. And when I said that this whole thing depresses me, I was talking to Yosher, not you.

Having mostly played Platinum as a kid, I think I know Sinnoh like the back of my hand, so it shouldn't be too much trouble.

Oh, I'm not trying to argue anything. All I want is to let people know how I feel about this sort of thing. And the thing is I want to have a good time, but I also want people (not referring to you) to not berate fans for playing them. It's no fun being called a "sheep" or a "bootlicker" or an "apologist". I just want to play Pokemon. That's all. No agendas, no obligations, none of that.

@Yosher I never said money grew on trees. And it doesn't go like "oh, maybe I will like this game after all if I just give it a try even though it's a very small chance". It's a matter of going into something with an open mind and a positive attitude, provided you choose to spend money. No one is demanding you buy these games. That's entirely your choice, and I understand why you don't want to.
I'm sorry, this just really depresses me...

@Yosher I meant like trying new installments, seeing if you like them or not. I know you didn't like gens 6-7. At least you tried them. I certainly can't speak for everyone, but I personally believe it's a poor era of judgement to give up on something without legitimately seeing if you end up liking it or not.

@Harmonie At least it's not $120.00

@Yosher I respect how you feel. But it just saddens me when people refuse to at least give something a try and see if they like it or not.

@Gamer_Zeus No, it does NOT. Nothing is "forcing" you not to buy these games. You can always buy these games if you want to. But you don't. You're not being forced to buy these games. You just don't want to. And I'm sorry for that. It saddens me that people aren't willing to at least give something a try before they judge it.

@Harmonie I'm sorry that you didn't enjoy them. But I truly don't think it's about being able to be excited. Either you are, or you aren't.

@Harmonie I don't think there's a "could" or "could not" want. I mean, you either want to try it out, or you don't.

@NinjaGuy69 How is it "insulting"?

@Gamer_Zeus It doesn't "force" you not to.
