Notably, the Japanese scene (according to Kurt) does in fact do things the “right” way, for the most part. Certainly, part of this is that Nintendo has been largely successful in making it harder to do console hacking and homebrew there, especially compared to the rest of the world. But also the culture of Japanese…

Do any of you guys listen to yourselves?

Well, it sure seems that The Pokemon Company considers raising monsters to be part of the competition, so unfortunately you’d be wrong on this one.

this is only eliminating grind that has nothing to do with the competition.

The rules say people arent allowed to do this, so when they do this they are cheating.

Never said I agree with Nintendo’s stance. Just that they are very VERY clear on what type of videos they don’t want people profiting off of and this guy consciously and knowingly decided to put time and effort into making (and trying to monetize) those types of videos anyway.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

I am not gonna get caught up in this until the game releases but that quote was limited and the full quote makes a bit more sense

While still disappointing, I don’t find it very surprising that a developer from a country in which 98% of the population share the same ethnicity and culture struggles to grasp the depht and importance of representation issues.

The last mainline game released earlier this year.

For starters, Pokemon cards are sold in packs and decks, so that “units” is an extremely rough comparison.

The best selling American single-issue comic book of all time was X-Men #1, which sold a little under 8.2 million copies.

Nobody is ever happy with anything.

It sucks, but it’s also not that hard to understand why it happens. Project+ is not an official Nintendo made product and promoting it to the public, such as in a tournament, falsely makes it seem like a Nintendo product. There are legitimate reasons to protect your companies IP.

I did feel like there was a little context missing I was glad to see, and the theater mode isn’t organized super well (it’s by world, which makes sense, and in theory would let you just binge through the main plot stuff instead of any of the mostly-retread-y Disney worlds... except with how the story kept going back…

It’s for two reasons:

Yoshi-P take a bow.

Official sponsored Pokémon broadcasts will weave strategy discussions and basic battle tutorials in between every match while also offering tips on how you the player can be the very best, like no one ever was.

Telling managers to defy police and local municipal orders sounds pretty frantic to me. 

I wonder if they'll be able to tell which players have done it, and if they'll be able to remove all the duped items and extra money.
