Uhhh... they did that with their handhelds all the time. The Game Boy Pocket was just a Game Boy with a better screen and requiring less batteries. The GBA SP gave us a backlight over the original. The DSi added more networking capabilities, and the New 3DS line was literally upgraded hardware over the original lines…

So you were very clumsily mixing battle and map animation descriptions in the same run-on sentence, making it confusing for those reading? Because if taken in any basic reading sense, that’s not what one gets out of what you wrote. The whole quote actually makes it even muddier because you couldn’t be bothered to…

“Some of my best friends are gay.”

The irony, it hurts.

Aaaaaaand there he goes, ladies and gentlemen. Give the poor triggered child a hand for his participation.

False equivalence. If you were not consuming numerous iterations of the story, you would not be complaining about it reaching such heights. In comparison, going to see a movie and then discovering that it’s bad does not mean that suddenly you’re seeing that movie every time you look at a screen.

Given the actual manufacturers of said consoles are disagreeing with you on the record, I’m going to have to trust the company over the armchair statistician on this one.

Huh. I must have imagined the defection of Celes and General Leo standing up for the Espers, or the mix of imperial soldiers that were both for and against ending the conflict after the Empire’s capital was razed. Good thing you were there to remind me that these things didn’t exist and that the entire empire was…

Huge Materia. Enough said.

In all fairness, the thirst was almost entirely directed at Tifa and Sephiroth back in the 90's and early 2000's, with some outliers.

The idea is that you'll look at their profiles once they follow you, resulting in being exposed to their links, I think.

How're those profit margins looking today, Steve?

All this is going to do is drive DOWN profits, as very few API devs are going to cough up that small fortune, which will drive more and more users to adblockers (meaning their existing pool will get smaller anyway) and result in them getting tons of bad press that will directly affect their ability to raise capital…

Late reply, but I don’t see any other way this quote can be interpreted.

This may be why I knew plenty of gamer girls growing up. I was pretty clear as a teen and young adult that I wasn’t interested in relationships, and being autistic in certain ways made it much easier to not really recognize or notice the social and physical differences between girls and boys, so to me they were just…

Your mileage may vary.

Toxic isn’t one of the moves it can learn via Egg Moves, and without that move the build doesn’t work. They don’t even have it as a TM anymore; it sucks because up until Sw/Sh, you could transfer forward and it’d keep the move. Why they changed that now is beyond me, but it means I can’t run Vaporeon as I have…

What I want to know is why they removed my classic Vaporeon’s Toxic and Wish. Both are valid moves in Scarlet and Violet. Wish is even received from the same source. So why the hell did the transfer feel the need to remove them entirely and screw my build?

Gen V Part I definitely isn’t the narrative peak of the franchise; to achieve that, it would have had to actually follow through on its potential, which I maintain was the highest in the series in terms of writing. In terms of coherent storytelling, I’d say that Gen IX has them beat. Arceus certainly wasn’t a high…

Alrighty, they didn’t die. They just languish in obscurity because only cinema snobs like them. Is that better?
