So CP isn’t actually a thing. By which I mean, it’s an arbitrary value calculated from a Pokémon’s actual stats that carries no weight on its own- a CP 2500 Pokémon of two different species will end up having radically different stats. It’s little more than a rough guideline.

I had Pilotwings as a kid, and played it some, but it was really my dad’s game. He played it even when I wasn’t around, and beat it well before I was ever able to. I think I appreciate it more as an adult, though there could also be some nostalgia mixed in there as well. But I definitely think there’s something to the…

I mean, the game definitely has a Redd problem, you’ll hear zero arguments from me on that. I had a similar reply from another person on this, and I’ll repeat myself here: there are only three visiting NPCs (Leif, Kicks, and Label) who can’t be there at the same time as KK, since they also use the plaza. There’s no…

The only visitors that KK has any real conflict with are the ones that use the plaza- Lief, Kicks, and Label. There’s no reason they can’t have KK in the plaza and still have one of the other visitors also on the island- after all, Celeste and Wisp are both perfectly capable of co-existing with another random NPC.

And…

Didn’t KK originally appear on Fridays when there was a Saturday event? I feel like for the first fishing tourney KK showed up the Friday before rather than the Sunday after, and then they changed it in one of the patches. Maybe they’ll go back to that?

Also, given that the bug and fish tournaments both end at 6, I…

I wonder how much the discourse around Star Fox 2 would have changed over the years if she had been in the almost-released version of the game. I suppose a big part of it would depend on whether or not she appeared in the later games like 3/4 of Star Wolf or got abandoned like Miya and Fay. If she didn’t appear in the…

That SMW Bowser sprite with legs is clearly taking a dump. That is 100% an about to poop Bowser. 

Also, you should be able to manually end the Fairy spell. Using that spell in a Boss arena means you have to just let it kill you.

Interestingly, Martinet did in fact invent the notion of Mario having a cheesy Italian accent. Mario’s voice had always been done with a Brooklyn accent prior to his casting, and the audition he went to called for the same. He was in a hurry, focused more on the “Italian” than “from Brooklyn” part of the description,…

The Switch version is actually a port of the smartphone version. As such, it’s pretty annoying to play docked, but fine in handheld mode. The smartphone port did a lot to make the game work on a pure touchscreen device, given how much the original game was built strictly around the DS’s unique hardware. I’d say it’s…

You would think that, but Dark/Fighting is amazing offensive coverage. The double Fairy weakness is a drawback, sure, but overall I think Single Strike is better (though Rapid Strike definitely has its better matchups).

Also, both forms get a STAB priority move- Single Strike gets Sucker Punch. 

It doesn’t really scale so much as have two sets of levels for trainers and wild Pokémon: one for before you become the champion, and one for after. That being said, the pre-champion stuff is clearly balanced around the notion that you go to the Isle of Armor as soon as it becomes available, so the plan to just…

So far the Chimchar line hasn’t been one of the Pokémon allowed to come to Sword & Shield, either as part of the initial release or as one of the Pokémon added with the first DLC release. There’s still another batch of Pokémon set to come back with Crown Tundra, but if the latest leaks are accurate the Gen 4 starters…

It’s also worth mentioning that Yorion, while not banned, is impossible to play as Companion in EDH; since its restriction requires your deck to be 20 cards over minimum and EDH doesn’t allow for oversized decks.

How can you not get that? What’s so incomprehensible about “I don’t know why anyone enjoyed this particular task”? It’s not the general excitement over new content itself I find baffling, it’s this one particular task which until today I never heard anyone do anything but complain about. When I saw it was missing in…

Looking at the video, it does show a SMB3-style level while discussing the possibility of bonus levels in your custom world. And there’s no “Super Mario World Style Only” tag on bottom like there is for some of the other specific style features. So my inclination is no, but it could be that the world map is…

Because I’d like to have a complete museum, and that’s a much less annoying process when it’s just fish, bugs, and fossils. Unless the museum upgrade itself is optional within the context of the update (which is possible, but unlikely), I’m now stuck with an awkwardly balanced museum.

I realize this is an unpopular opinion among Animal Crossing veterans, but collecting art for the museum was obnoxious and I was glad it was gone in New Horizons. Overall this update looks great, and I love that they’re going to be supporting this game long-term, but I really wish paintings remained a relic of the…

Yes. Especially early-game, there’s a deliberate slow-drip. But the game works on a real-world clock, so each day things change- the items in the shops rotate, a handful of fossils spawn on the island, etc. There are also long-term calendar locks, as what fish and bugs spawn are dependent on the month (as well as time…
