“I’m probably the only person who cares about this!”

But Palkia will still look dumb no matter what

the typhlosion in particular will have some kind of fire coming out of it (somehow) in game. effects like fire/smoke aren’t shown on the leaked models.

It’s not technically open world. It’s like traditional Monster Hunter where you move from section to section, but said sections are very large.

Oh, and the new “force of nature:”

Nintendo, Dec. ‘21: “Okay, interest in this game is high. Are there any more new Pokemon that we can preview to help hype up the game? Oh... oh no. Welp, at least we have Bidoof’s Big Stand.”

Most pokemon leaks look bad because it’s just the raw models doing the equivalent of a t-pose. They *usually* look better in motion, where you can get of sense of their personality and whatnot.

“Obviously what I did is wrong,” JiDion said, “but how am I supposed to do better the next time if I can never get a next time?”

You can rightly argue that less competition will result in a general negative impact on the market over time, but this will almost certainly result in a net positive for the industry at least in the short term, if only because Xbox under Phil Spencer has been one of the most consumer friendly game companies out there…

I mean... you’ve got to build bypasses.

And then Disney buys Microsoft.  And then Amazon buys Disney.  And then the Vogons demolish the Earth to make way for a hyperspace bypass.

It sounds like you should still be able to download and install it. 

Finally, the Pandemic is over

As mentioned by one of the commenters in the article, the “look” could be accomplished without actually ruining most of the real hardware. Authentic, original hardware may still be relatively widely available, but it won’t be that way forever and once they’re all gone that’s it.

Shouln't be anyone. It has titles worth owning and scalping is a plague to be eradicated. 

I think you maybe misunderstood, if in reading everything correctly. The blog author (the trans woman) said the game was secretly (or effectively) Trumpian propaganda (despite it being a leftist viewpoint made by a liberal developer).  The developer said it was a bad take.  It doesn't seem like any interaction there…

Hmmm. It appears that woman wrote that Night in the Woods was “Trumpian Propaganda” and Benson responded that it was a bad take. Harassments campaign? I dunno. The best she can do in her piece is say he made a meme about her.

This is a Pretty disingenuous statement based on what actually transpired.

I wrote out a long explanation of what actually happened here, but then realized it’s Christmas Eve.

While I know you're joking I'll point out that mangling not just one but two trademarked IP names would give both company's lawyers a heart attack. They'd want it to be Total War: Warhammer: Total Warhammer
