While cheering at his death is disrespectful and unnecessary, I'd like to think that a man who very often laughed and brought comedy to morbid or terrifying circumstances would join in on the puns and jokes to add some levity.

Yeah, in Gen IV he was definitely very strong, but Hydreigon from Gen V more or less pushed him out of his spot as a Draco Meteor sweeping dragon.

Fortunately, there were still Salamences found in the US National Championships and it's not like he's horrible, but he could use a little buff to keep up with more modern…

Is mud Diglett? Because, yeah, afrobull still beats that because the American Bison actually looks a lot like it. Don't forget their first attempt at a Yuki-Onna that people were mistaking as a caricature of black people. That didn't go over so well in Gen I.

And what don't you like about Nosepass's design? It's a…

While I agree the greater Nintendo organisation will steer clear from this direction, they're dabbling in the notion of it. If you own a 3DS, you'll know all about it:

This game's entire premise is that it's entirely free to play! But you do have to pay Rusty for more…

It's not really a restricted access model, though. All event pokemon can be traded just like normal pokemon. So just one friend was needed for everyone to register a Mew or Celebi on their Pokedex. And, of course, this was for completionists only.

In nearly every circumstance, event pokemon were always a bonus in…

These are not merely INSPIRATIONS—they are derivative works. Look at both Mega Banette fusions. There are very few design differences save for colour palette swaps. The Delphox+Mismagius uses about 90% of the base Delphox design and slaps on Mismagius's hat.

You talk about finished products as if we're talking to…

Yeah, every time you reply to something, I kinda expect the conversation to go to weird places and devolve into some kind of mad ravings. =P

Read that in comic book guy's voice the second time. Definitely works as a piece for humor, even if I do agree with the sentiment.

Also: as this is the first time I've ever replied to you, Kireek, I still think you're an asshole for betraying me all those years ago.

Except your point is actually counterproductive since what makes all these designs so well done is exactly BECAUSE the artist adheres to the iconic look of each pokemon in the fusions. Every fusion design is a creative and excellently crafted piece, but they are completely derivative from their source material (i.e.…

I was actually thinking the very same thing, but if the PR people managing this movie know what they're doing (I doubt it since it's still quite a herculean task), they might actually be able to strike some kind rapport with Gadot being the PERFECT Wonder Woman.

After all, WW may stand for equality, but often times has…

Oh no, the horror! I'm actually not sure if you're being sarcastic and agreeing with me or sarcastic and disagreeing since buying new things at their full price is actually a reasonable expectation, but always-online gaming is not a reasonable expectation for the near future.

I guess that response is inadvertently…

That's kinda the problem, though. Cliffy B is smart and creative and influential and, best of all, he is probably right about his prediction. The worst part, however, is that while a lot of his assertions are right at the outset, the reasons behind them tend to be exaggerated or totally off the mark.

It's a lot like…

No mention of the FF franchise? He's basically a FF staple now. And, really, the genius of teaming up The Rock w/ Vin Diesel? How can we neglect that level of genius?!

Easily my favourite Batman story ever. There are some truly wonderful things in Batman's history, but the way this one unfolds is so great. Having Jim Lee kill it on every page with so many of Batman's allies and enemies sure helps.

Damn. Beat me to it. Even that arc, while trying desperately to find some kind of rationalization for all the goofy Silver Age stuff, seemed so deeply tongue-in-cheek, I thought I was making love.

The Immortal are but mere conduits for the immense skill of that Prism play! That final push at the end, you can see him picking up Immortals before they go down and dropping them back down as he warps in more Zealots. Excellent game and it wasn't because Byul played poorly, either. That his Roaches were able to…

There are all the usual industries in the PokeWorld that you might find in the real world, but some use the help and aid of pokemon in their endeavours. There are barbers and firefighters and advertising agencies just like anything else you might see here.

Thing is, there are tons of legit corporations out there that…

No, I'm sorry, but that just seems like far too much regulation and unnecessary government oversight. The simple solution is obviously to train the pokemon past the level it learns Explosion and have a Move Deleter Specialist remove its memory of both Self-destruct and Explosion. The price of these generators is…

It was regrettable, but the tournament organizers chose to disable chat when the only things that would show up for hours was:

left, up, right, a, down x8, left, left, a, b, a, left, anarchy, right, right, down, up, up, democracy, anarchy, a, b, b, b, b, anarchy, anarchy, anarchy, anarchy, anarchy, up, right, down,…

While that's not necessarily a good thing, it happens. That means you're aging and the aesthetics of the contemporary 4-16 year-old demographic are appealing to you less. Doesn't mean you can't find things in that demographic that you'll like; just less and less of them as time passes..
