Wealth, fame, power.
Honchkrow the king of the Murkrow obtained this and everything else the
World had to offer. And his dying words drove countless birds to the skies.
“You want my treasure? You can have it! I left everything I gathered
Together in one nest. Now you just have to find it! ”
These words lured Pokemon…

Sweet Jesus. They did it. The crazy bastards finally did it. They’ve given us the keys to the whole damn thing. Can’t wait to see what maniacal worlds the best creators can put us through.

A: The main subreddit for competitive Pokemon is r/stunfisk, which remains delightful.

That makes no sense to me. Anybody working on this stuff could leak tons of secret information at any time, even if they can’t leak art or screenshots. If you can’t trust the people you’ve hired, you have bigger problems.

I’m under NDA as well, but we still work from home. Every WFH environment I’ve been in utilizes some sort of SSL-based secure connection to ensure traffic is secure between locations.

It’s not about the infrastructure, it's about NDAs and secrecy. I work in the animation industry and a lot of companies have security built into their pipeline that intentionally makes it hard or impossible to work from home. After that Sony hack, execs got jumpy.

Aside from the basic infrastructure to work from home, game design is a highly collaborative creative field, and that collaboration is much harder (though not impossible) to generate with everyone working in separate locations. And not everyone has a decent workspace at home, especially in cities like Tokyo where…

Japan still lives and dies by *fax*.

And the japanese businessman who goes to work in a suit and lives for his job is still a big part of who a lot of them are.

Hard disagree on the steel weapons; unless it’s someone like Edelgard whose speed is so far down the shitter that she’s going to get doubled by everyone anyway, it’s not worth the weight penalty. You’re much better off forging the iron weapons into their iron+ versions, especially since you end up with so many…

I’m trans, someone who knows this and uses he/him pronouns for me is making a political choice. Same with someone who uses she/her for me. Everything is political. Yes, litterally everything including whatever petty counterexample you or whoever replies to this comment will bring up.  Learn that or stop posting…

Have you played multiple paths? (SPOILERS) That probably was not a surprise to him.

Hey! I like swords!

FINALLY. Spiritomb! This was one of the hardest pokemon to catch because you had to meet 32 people in the pokemon underground, which as a kid meant having 32 friends. And I feel like even for Children, thats a high bar.

I’m guessing this is how it went at Nintendo:

Wow. Floored by this piece. I hope you have a good friend that will take you out for drinks and pick your brain for hours about any and all of these paragraphs, because that's pretty much what I want to do after reading it. Keep going. For all our sakes, keep going. 

Whatever they are they would need to be released in a set called The Forefathers.

I was kinda hoping they’d call it Father 4.

As Kotaku noted, Blizzard gave a dodgy apology to open Blizzcon. They also, notably, did not revoke Blitzchung’s 6 month suspension.

How can they be this bad at damn near everything?
