Because Beat Takeshi is a video game expert and his advice should always be taken.

I once caught a shiny Rattata at the beginning of a Leaf Green run and kept it with me the whole game. Raticate’s better than most people expect, although the aforementioned Shadow Ball is a must (I’d use Bite/Crunch in the games where they’re physical and Shadow Ball is special, but Leaf Green is not one of those…

It only opened in a handful of theaters. And there weren’t showings all day, the theater I went to was only showing it at 10 pm. I saw it in a packed theater, I’m sure nearly every show was sold out, and $100,000 sounds about right for what it would have made.

Ever notice how most of the CT cast isn’t using their real name anyway? Marle is Nadia, Frog is Glenn, Robo is R-66Y and also Prometheus, and Magus is Janus. Of course, that just introduces the hilarity for players who know this to make the dialogue confusing on a subsequent playthrough.

I like to think of TAY as existing at a 57 degree angle, personally.

It’s a fan-rumor that doesn’t actually hold up to scrutiny, and is dependent on you never actually look at a map of Unova.

“New Harley, same crazy.”

Interesting line there. Given that this Harley seems more like the traditional Miss Quinn than her Injustice alt-timeline counterpart, I wonder if the story mode’s Harley will be the one from the “main” universe instead of the one where Superman went full despot. It could also be that Deadshot…

So I guess we should assume he can keep even pace with an overweight, middle-aged mad scientist then?

Please point to the exact portion of my comment where the existence of planes in the Pokémon universe is relevant.

You sure are one illiterate guy, no?

Pokémon has always been a successful game series, this is true. However, Pokémon was a massive cultural phenomenon when it first came out, and the amount of attention it’s getting thanks to Go is reminiscent of how it was in the 90s. I don’t know if you’re old enough to remember it or not, but Pokémon was inescapable…

I always thought that the Pokémon anime should have followed the manga’s structure and introduced a new protagonist for each region (to correspond with the protagonist of the respective games). Maybe they’ll let Ash win one so they can rotate him out for some fresh blood? Purely speculation, of course, but I think…

“This week on Snacktaku, we’re finally giving cannibalism a try! Here we have a nice, roasted human formerly known as Kotaku commenter Insane1.”

Back in my day pokemon were animals with an ocasional somewhat explainable anomaly,

I’ve always felt that Metroid II deserved a second chance on at the very least something with color. Really excited to see this.

The slower refresh I would wager is an attempt to lower the stress on their servers. If it ends up being a trade-off to get tracking back, I’m all for it.

They should make captures a little bit easier though. At least slow down the frequency of attack animations- losing balls because the game just randomly decides the…

It’s Phoenix’s first case, sure. But it’s not the first case in the series (chronologically), as there are a few flashback cases in later games. So it’s Phoenix Wright’s first case, but not Phoenix Wright(aka Ace Attorney, the series)’s first case.

Also, some fun Ace Attorney chronology facts: the first game is only…

My immediate guess was that this is the “wrong Pokémon registered” bug gone hilariously wrong (right?). The fact that they’re trying to make this into a promotional thing (that Niantic has not confirmed) makes me think it’s just hacking, though.

It actually was defective. Coffee is supposed to be served between 160-175 degrees Fahrenheit, that McDonald’s served it closer to 200. Which you may recognize as being just slightly lower than the boiling point of water. Just because something is supposed to be served hot doesn’t mean it’s impossible for it to be too…

Nintendo actually came out ahead. Yes, their stock dropped when it was revealed that they weren’t making as much off Go as everyone assumed, but it didn’t drop as much as it spiked in the wake of the app’s release.

Yeah, I really like the Ice-variant Vulpix/Ninetales. I’m ambivalent on Sandshrew/slash and Exeggutor looks goofy (although I do like that new typing), but the fire foxes look good in white.

I’m almost certain that the Minior cores affect something, the idea being that you don’t know exactly what sort of Minior you’re…
