... Well I teared up just from reading the article, I haven't even gotten to the videos yet. ;-;

I'm pretty glad that all I get asked is for hugs when I cosplay (and I'm happy to give them!). c:

There. I went through every single one of the 718 pokemon to determine how many were based on inanimate objects. Out of 718, 39 are based on something that isn't an animal, plant, deity, myth, humanoid, elemental or spirit (not counting spirits in actual objects).

I thought it was a bulge, and now I can't unsee it. I CANNOT.

Thank you. THANK YOU.

In the original anime series they actually had small instances of animals in some shots. Real fish in the aquarium in the Cerulean City gym for example. They no longer show up in newer episodes though.

LMAO nach, you so cray.

I guess the ones we get in Canada are different then.

I'd say my favorite changes that I've noticed so far are the swift sail addition, faster drifting without the sail, faster wind waker songs, and making multiple figures instead of one at a time in the nintendo gallery. I guess since I like that miniquest so much, the bottles with valuable photos inside are also a big…

Actually they've already stated in the show a few times that some pokemon do in fact change personalities completely after evolving. Take Ash's charmander, pretty much any magikarp, abra, etc.

The Rec series. Especially the second one. My god that vent scene.

Over 55,000 people who have pledged over $3 mil would disagree with you. They don't find it boring, and they want to see a beloved series return to its former glory. Inafune wants to deliver that but he can't use Megaman because he doesn't own the rights to it. As an artist, not being allowed to use my own ideas and…

Well I guess I'm not going to be working for Nintendo any time soon.
