God damn it. You got me this time, ad.

God damn it. You got me this time, ad.

As an example, I can play Pokemon Snap with gyro controls just fine in handheld mode, but I take those same joycons and put them in the grip that comes with the Switch, and suddenly my movement is reduced massively. It’s so weird.

I stuck around for longer. I stopped watching the anime at some point during Post-Eines Lobby or Thriller Bark. Still been reading the manga every week since Water 7. The current arc has been incredible. Now is a great time to jump back in as we’re definitely approaching climax territory.

Same, but One Piece is a special case even among the weekly adaptations. They stopped making filler arcs. Just completely stopped. Instead they stretch out every episode with a loooong recap, extended shots of people running, clashing swords, or yelling, individual reaction shots to everything happening, and anything…

It’s all about how many chapters of manga get turned into each episode. Keeping an anime running weekly is impossible to do without filler. A good sweet spot is typically between 3-4 chapters of a weekly manga (or 1-2 chapters of a monthly manga, like FMA:B was) per episode of anime on average.

Throughout Sw/Sh, you’re told to “just focus on your gym challenge and let the adults take care of this”, while in X/Y you take care of things yourself.  I just counted up all the non-story trainer battles (so no rivals, named enemy team members, Gym Leaders, or story encounters such as the sword hair and shield hair…

It’s not strict turn based. Watch the presentation again.

“The game is balanced around the experience share.”

It’s individual to the evolutionary line.  Part of why getting that Magikarp up to a Gyarados felt like it took forever is because it needed more experience than most of your team.

So did the held Exp. Share. You’d just hand it to your new buddy and he’d get half the experience, same as the new Share. Plus Sw/Sh had those exp candies that you got from raids that you could stuff into any new member if you did a decent amount of them.

Weird is fine by me. It’s about time a Pokemon game could be described as weird. I can’t remember the name of FFX’s battle system either, but I do remember having a ton of fun with FFX.

I am very prepared to argue with you that there are at least three worse types in the game.

Looks closer to an ATB than true turn-based.

Diamond and Pearl were already very easy. Platinum was much more challenging. My hope is that they return the Exp. Share to its held item form, or fix the experience curves to make the modern Exp. Share not overlevel some members of your team without them even battling while others lag behind.

There are six different…

To the person who replied to me asking how it feels to be free from the greys: I received a notification for your comment, but can’t actually find it. So it feels like I’ve received an elevated position in society, but the cost of not being allowed to associate with the folks I used to live with down in the slums.…

I’m definitely free from the greys. It’s wild to suddenly be able to post without seeing PENDING APPROVAL after every post. Sorry, fellow- rather, former fellow greys. I’ll always remember how thrilling it was to get even a single star on my comments down there.

Definitely.  The incorrect language is lodged deep into my vocab, can’t seem to get it out of there.

AND a bonus, for getting this media coverage as a result of tweeting about it, certainly to get him more support down the line when the game does come out.  This is great all around except for businesses with predatory tactics. Win/win/win/win.

Ooh, Blissey seems like the Pokemon for me.  I love playing healers.

Welcome to roguelikes? There’s no “correct” spawns, either. There are so many viable approaches to that game.

Edit: wait, have I suddenly been freed from the greys? after years?
