@roadrunner343 Thank you. Yes I agree, titles simply cannot contain all the facts of an article, and usually they have to be as snappy as possible to be attractive. That doesn't mean we lie or give misleading information in them, because that would be against what we stand for, but can mean they can verge on being creative or humorous.
I also agree with that second point. @riChchestM, it would be incredibly unethical to simply rip all of the information from the original article, hence why we have reported on the highlights of the report and provided a link to the full deal to give you more content
@MrBlacky You can't possibly expect me to write "Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, Baby Peach, Baby Daisy, Baby Rosalina, Lemmy Koopa, or Mii Light, driving a Biddybuggy, Landship, or Mr. Scooty with Roller, Azure Roller, or Button tyres Is The Best Option In Mario Kart" as a title...
@HatosBlack I'll give you the Labo one, which was only meant for a little bit of fun, but you've explained it perfectly there - we don't know all the facts of this one yet, hence the "seems to". This looks like it could be the announcement, thanks to the logo and timing, so we wanted to share that with the readers, but the "seems to" is there to let people know that we can't be 100% sure yet.
There was no sarcasm or upset intended with this, I assure you. And I apologise if it has caused that.
@HatosBlack May I ask why you found it sarcastic? I genuinely tried to be as realistic with it as possible.
A reveal has happened showing the logo from the original tease at the time it was supposed to, suggesting that this is the big news, but I think we can all agree that it isn't very "shocking" and doesn't quite feel right, hence why I said it "seems to have arrived"...
@Thisismycomment @ultraraichu When the president of The Pokémon Company specifically says that they "don't have any plans to use this online service right now", I think it's pretty fair to remain sceptical.
I never said they wouldn't have online, I questioned the possibility.
@Tsurii @Thisismycomment Yep, I've cleared this up a little now. Other sources have indeed mentioned that online services will be included, and we're not writing that off ourselves, but if Pokémon's president tells us there are no plans then that's what we'll believe for now.
@Lroy It seems impossible to tell. Many users are experiencing no problems at all, others can't play anything. Probably safest to just wait but you could be fine.
@Appleflap @AlternateButtons My guess would be that you'll be able to get the costume in the main game anyway, but probably through progression in the story mode or similar. This is likely just a way to have it from the start.
The demo's free anyway, though. So hopefully not too much of a problem!
@AlphaElite I imagine they'll now cycle through everyone again, just with different match ups, and Min Min just happened to be the one that got put against Helix.
@BensonUii Yep, by that they mean that a physical copy of a game can be redeemed for Gold Points within two years from that game's initial release date.
But once you've redeemed those points, they will then expire from your account in one year's time.
@uhhhhhhhh There is a lot of voice acting, yeah. Some dialogue is just written (which is fair enough as there's a lot of it) but you'll definitely be pleased with how much Pikachu waffles on
@DarthFoxMcCloud Just below where I said it was released in western territories, I said: "Available to use with Amazon Alexa in "most countries" and Google Home in the US".
It is available in many territories with Amazon, it is only Google Home that is restricted to US.
@cowntsikin As good as you'd expect. It's never too in your face and is nicely done - and, as mentioned, the game runs just as smoothly with 3D on or off.
@dorkeybubblehead Yeah! I didn't have time to play in the end unfortunately, but that's pretty awesome. Glad to see you steered Team Springtron to victory
