While some of the ideas you’re pitching could be cool if implemented correctly, this post does paint a pretty clear picture. You don’t want to play Pokemon, you just want something with Pokemon in it.

We literally just had a gen 1 remake on the switch...And we had a Gen 1 remake on GBA....And we visited Kanto in HGSS....I’m so done with Gen 1.

> scales back to the OG 150

Based on this particular line, as well as the rest of your post, this franchise isn’t for you, and hasn’t been such for a long time. Time for you to move on.

The time for Gen1 has passed. You need to move on.

“scales back to the OG 150"

I am SO over Gen 1 I never want another game restricted to the first 150 again.

Whether or not there is a point hardly needs to be hashed out here. Criticism of the US use of nuclear weapons is widespread among prominent intellectuals from all walks of life ranging from J Robert Oppenheimer (who played a key role in developing the weapons in the first place) to future American president Dwight…

D&D wanted out. HBO offered them the regular 10 episode seasons for 7 and 8 and they insisted they could finish up the story with two shorter seasons. They were wrong. So wrong. On top of that, because they focused on soooo much spectacle over substance it still took them the same amount of time, and far more money,…

Actually I would have already had it if you had stfu, but this was your blatant, desperate ploy to get it because you thought I wouldn’t call your bluff. So, thanks.  Last word achieved, if you can let it stand this time.

Except I’m not a troll. I was a person responding to your comment, and you got your butt all hurt because it was noted that you made a false statement. I’m sincerely sorry that you are not only bad at saying what you mean, but at, apparently, relaying sarcasm.  You owe an apology for being a dick, but I doubt you’ll…

I liked the first season as a self-contained beast, kind of a fairy tale logic of sorts. But it obviously doesn’t have the bones to support more seasons.

Much more than dragons and direwolves, Jon Snow’s duty-bound slaying of Daenerys is the most fantastical element in the GOT universe. The notion that Daenerys had to die after she capricously burned all the innocent people in Kings Landing casts the show as a chivalrous, albeit ill fit allegory for how power works in…

Although GRRM has said a few times that there are 5 core characters that the books are really about: Jon, Arya, Bran, Dany and Tyrion.

Grey Worm had a city and two high-profile prisoners.

He ended up with no city and no high-profile prisoners.

“Say another word about killing my brother and I’ll cut your throat.”

I mean dramatic structure. Beginning, Middle, Ending. Rising stakes, peaks and valleys. That sort of thing.

I don’t know if that’s true. The structure of novels changed when we began moving away from episodic/subscription novels to novels that were consumed all at once right? Or maybe I’m not understanding what you mean by structure?

Disenchantment shouldn’t exist, period. No network would’ve given it a green light. Same for half of the prestige streaming shows of the past decade. The “problem” is that cable TV/streaming is full on into it’s 1970's-film-auteur movement; any reputable name(s) gets a contract.

When you can feel the bloat within Disenchantment — a show that should by all rights be a series of tight, punchy jokes wrapped around a tidy episode plot — you know that there’s a genuine problem with the new streaming-only format (or at least the way it greenlights its shows to “air”). I’m guessing all the quality…
