Oh, definitely. What Marvel did had no guarantee of success, but it paid off very well. Now they’re making tons of money even from movies based off of lesser known comics. But, it’s not like it’s an easy thing to do either.

Agreed. A bully might have an explanation for their behavior, but that’s not the same as an excuse.

Plus unless you’re big or strong, you might not be able to hurt the bully. This chick beat up my friend in middle school, I would have fought back if she wasn’t over twice my size and had all of her friends behind her.

Agreed. I hate the whole “be nice to bullies cause they might have a bad home life!” shit. Even if the bully does have a bad home life or whatever, well, that may be an explanation for bad behavior, but not an excuse.

Agreed. I’m convinced that adults telling kids “ignore it and be the bigger person” is just code for “I’m too lazy to deal with it”. There are times when ignoring the bully does work, sometimes with verbal bullying, (worked for me in middle school. Bitch would get all up in my face and I wouldn’t react to her, and she…

Jester, eh? I hope they go more with a jester theme rather than a clown one, that would be easier to make into an attractive Pokemon.

Eh, if Litten evolves into a tiger I’ll be pretty happy. Despite tigers being so popular, we’ve never had a non-legendary Pokemon based on one. Rowlet may not have a fancy design, but the stuff he does in the trailer is so damn cute! And I do love Popplio’s design, and his little pose, it all gives him some real…

I don’t think three different water mammals makes the concept “played out”. (I also wouldn’t group Oshawott with the pinnipeds) There are many more cat Pokemon.

For me, Rowlet’s appeal is less his design and more of how he acts in the trailer. The little turn around he does, and how he turns his head all the way around to look at his trainer? Too cute.

Same here, I’m not really a fan of humanoid designs, that’s the big reason I don’t like Delphox. I think Litten will be fine as long as they don’t do that for him.

Same here. I think all of the starters look great so far, but I don’t pick until the final forms are available. I am loving the owl, I think he’ll be pretty hard to screw up, (I’d say the same for Litten, but look what happened with Fennekin...) but Popplio is adorable and I hope he gets a cool final evo.

I think Popplio is adorable. I suspect a big reason he’s unpopular is that he’s gonna be pretty easy to screw up, a clown/circus sea lion could turn out reeeeally ugly in the later evolutions. I hope he pulls an Oshawott and gets some cool evolutions.

Along with all of my other Sapphire and Fire Red Pokemon, it got transferred to my Pearl. I finally had access to a Sun Stone so I was able to evolve it into Bellossom like I wanted. Said Pearl cartridge later got stolen...

For a while I tried chain fishing, ended up with two shiny Qwilfish. Traded both of them off for legendaries. I’ve been getting back into it, but no new shinies yet.

Cool! My first shiny was an Oddish, in my first game, Sapphire. I didn’t know what a shiny was at the time, but I had never seen a different colored Pokemon before so I knew it had to be rare. Threw a masterball at it!

Seriously, for years I’ve been hearing people say that Nintendo isn’t far away from dying. Sure, they’ve had hiccups and consoles that didn’t sell as well as they hoped, but they’re still a pretty wealthy company and their big franchises still top sales. It’s gonna take more than one or even two bad generations to…

Agreed on the DS games, I’ve been wanting to play Soul Silver but I’m having trouble finding a copy for less than $50. I might splurge for my birthday but I’d really prefer if they offered it in a download.

3DS sales started out very weak because there weren’t any popular games to go with it for a long time. I imagine they’re trying to avoid the same issue.

I’m wondering if they expect Go to have a slightly older audience. I mean, in a lot of places kids aren’t gonna have much freedom to play the game as they want. Teenagers and adults can usually go where they want.

VS swimsuits are usually a bit more than I’d like to spend (I’m cheap and broke) but they have a very good selection and try as I might, I just can’t find a store that matches in both style and price. Cheaper options are less likely to be functional, items that look cute and might be nice for standing around but…
