Originally I started my full series with Goseiger, yeah. I have caught a few arcs and films here and there from older sentai series, and find that Zyuranger (I'm american, so I will always be partial to Zyu) Battle Fever J and Dekaranger are probably the ones I have enjoyed the most.

One of my sentai-loving friends is…

This. This. A thousand times this.

When I discovered D2 is coming out this week I was excited, then depressed. I rarely play my PS3, and it would be nice to play D2 on it, but Pokemon is a thing.

I have read most of Pokemon Adventures, which is what I assume is the original manga, and there are some moments that could be implied as deaths (magmar being cut in twain by Giovanni and a couple others) but no pokemon actually are "dead" as far as I know.

Do you have a link to these that you refer to? I'd love to…

Don't know about you but all I can think of right now is BLACK ..........PUUUUUUMA!

I think it is because for older fans that grew up with Red/Blue always pictured their battles being very similar to what was shown in origins.
When we saw the Ash Ketchum anime being very neutered compared to our young imaginations, I can speak for myself and a few others that it was entertaining, but a bit of a…

Agreed, however I don't necessarily feel that death would be necessary to tell a more compelling story. Risk of death, sure. We got that in the third american film (not sure which one it was in Japan) with ash nearly being impaled on spikes as he fell to his death. That was pretty unique for the series.

I think…

I won't deny that I used a bit of hyperbole for the sake of dramatizing my post, but it really was something shocking coming from years of ash & his Pokemon getting shocked, blown up, and crushed repeatedly with no signs of actual pain save for a few dramatic battles with leaders or villains, particularly in the films.

OOO is a great series, but I think Wizard is a bit more accessible and modern for new toku viewers. Could you elaborate why you think Wizard isn't a good junping-in point? Just curious on other views.

W is probably the next on my list after I catch up on Wizard and Gaim. I just haven't gotten a chance to sit down and watch it yet. From what I have seen I enjoy.

Except for the utter brutality of pokemon battles.

I don't know if any future Kamen shows can match the utter insanity and grooviness of Wizard (which just ended a fantastic run to make way for Gaim.

The biggest issue is device fragmentation.

So about the trainer customization, is it pretty extensive? Like can I get new clothing at the boutiques later for my trainer? That kind of thing could really make a huge difference to me.
Who am I kidding? I already have the blocks free and the money in my eShop account ready to buy it....

Beer and nerdy glasses are extremely hipsterish.
Again sure people like these things, but the point the trailer is attempting to make is a clash of cultures. The hipster vs the obsessive DM. Kind of an odd couple attempt.
White straight-laced cop, jive-talkin' black local drug dealer get ambushed on the way to take…

It looked like a very plain brown container, which likely was a microbrew you haven't heard of.

Oh I am not arguing at all with that, I work in a collectibles/gaming store. I watch neckbearded metalheads that are addicted mountain dew and chips bicker over the price of items in D&D 3.5 on a regular basis.

Note: I am not saying this to offend, but some of these people that play in my store wear nothing but black…

Hit up your local gaming store, there are tons of tabletop/face to face games you can have a great time playing, and maybe even meet some rad people in the process.

There are games for pretty much all interests and styles. Resident evil? Uncharted? Games where you play as a boss monster trying to stop the 16 bit…

Skinny jeans? check.
Beer in hand? check.
Obscenely "nerdy" glasses? check.
shaggy beard +perpetual bed head hair? check.
Yep, stereotype of a hipster, just like the stereotype of the basement-dwelling GM.

Pretty sure that's the joke of this film.

Wait I am actually confused now. Not sure what you are responding to exactly.

Agreed, this is Paul Simon at his solo best. Experimental, yet comfortable. Every track on here is a gem, and Diamonds on the soles of her shoes is a standout work that really shows he knows how to keep his identity yet remain radio friendly.
