Well you’re half right anyways, since the original commenter’s point is actually awful and basically nonexistent. Hundreds of different game related media sites will pick up on this regardless of whether Kotaku does or not. It’s already been reported on dozens of times, many of the websites getting way more traffic…

I know every 20-30-something age fan is going to love this trailer as part of their “Let’s hate Ninty and Pokemon for not giving us exactly what we want,” phase they’re going through, but—

If you actively spend your money, time, fame and reach to make life worse for people around you, then that's not a "difference of opinion."

You’re right, people believing differently than you doesn’t make them hateful. Too bad that’s not the argument I was making.

It’s an attempt at a step forward (or rather revealing something implemented for a while) but it doesn’t change the fact it’s still a set dressing for a fictional project that will give money to someone in the real world actively pushing to strip transpeople of their civil rights.

And honestly that’s the thing. They didn’t just give a random cryptic teaser for Legends Arceus. They showed straight off the bat bona fide gameplay. Immediatly showing direct hints of how the more involved open world environment could be use(notably by using the very environment to sneak around unseen by pokemon and…

Why would you want to intentionally downgrade your games, escapes me.

“Doubling down on nostalgia" is what works. It's why these remakes even exist in the first place.

I hope Pokémon takes a page from this in the next generation. After playing an Animal Crossing game where everyone referred to me as ‘they’ and I could wear whatever clothes I wanted, going back to Sword and Shield where my female character couldn’t even wear a replica of Rose’s suit was kind of a bummer.

I noticed that in the trailer, no fuss about it. Nicely done.

This makes me very happy, though how dare they use an actual picture of me with a smaller bust as their third phase in the evolutionary chain >:c

lol! I was literally just thinking about posting something similar to this on FB

That’s too bad.

First off, the thorns are not in the same places. Second, saguaro cacti are often shown with two arms and if you were going to make it look like a video game (the angles) it’s entirely possible you would wind up with a very similar look independently. And the park version is using the correct color of flower for a…

THANK YOU

Plenty of people knew in the year 2000 that mocking stereotypes of minorities was an asshole thing to do. So yes, shame on them.

The problem is that they’re not hiring the best people for the job. Just the whitest.

and i’m tired of people pretending there isnt!

There’s something incredibly attractive about a tall woman who can lift you up by your throat
