Not going to disagree that too few in this country pay attention to international events, but what part of Florida did you move to?! I grew up in a podunk little Floridian town and people were flying flags for YEARS. Heck, most of us saw the towers fall live. Everything stopped, and it dominated the news cycle for…

Hell, for a lot of Americans, the falling of the Twin Towers wasn’t even a tangible event. At that time, was living about an hour outside of NYC, and the entire community felt its impact. Moved down to Florida a year later, and... nothing. It was a New York problem, not a Floridian problem. From my hops to Colorado,…

You’re a Pokémon. You have a choice between boosting a company that encourages humans to capture you, enslave you, and force you to fight each other for their cruel amusement, or boost Microsoft. Who would you choose?

Nintendo would still make you pay for a switch. So honestly, it kinda checks out.

Sprigatito is likely based on the Iberian lynx, a species of lynx found in areas of Spain near the Mediterranean.

They’ve also had a long history of doing these musical somber openings in the past with serious world events. Also, wasn’t this article about Pokemon? AV Club published a review…

I don’t know how this went from a “pokemon on SNL” article to a AV club review of the entire episode and criticism that changing the cold open wasn’t doing enough for the situation in Ukraine.

I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect better graphics now that they’ve moved from an underpowered handheld to a standard console.

Last quadruped was Samurott a whopping twelve years ago, with an honorable mention to Primarina for not being a traditional biped.

As long as the backlash is funny.

Interesting. It’s the opposite for me. First time in a very long time where I like all three.

Sprigatito’s final evolution, Incensiroar, Grass/Fighting (Wrestling):

This is the first time since gen 3 that I don’t immediately dislike at least one of them. 

Looking forward to the backlash when we find out they all evolve into fighting types.

As you would expect, the Pokémon fanart community is already having a field day.

Not literally. The suffix -ito can be added to a lot of words to just mean “little”. Gatito can be translated as “kitten” (there isn’t a literal word for that) just as it can be translated as “little cat”. The article isn’t wrong.

moar apple dinos, 2 is not enough!

I mean, Pokemon games typically release in mid/late November so there’s still plenty of time for people to play Arceus.
