So was the Wii U. Nintendo specifically manufacturers these shortages. Whether for publicity or just because they don’t want to spend any extra money making consoles to sit on shelves, the fact it’s sold out does not mean anything about its popularity, especially long-term.

Another game I can already play on my Wii U?

Sure. I think that use case is vastly overstated. I can’t remember the last time I took a bus.

Which makes no sense because a decent portion of their audience already has a Zelda Machine. I know for my part I have no interest in a Switch until Mario Odyssey; I can happily play BotW on my Wii U, which has only marginally worse specs than the Switch anyway.

This doesn’t work with every bigoted conversation, but as a straight white guy, a lot of bullshit I hear is framed as stuff like “Women, am I right?!” I like to look at them blankly and say “What do you mean?” Just act completely, utterly confused by any negative stereotypes. Often asking people to explain their…

That’s weird. During the initial heydey, we had a lot of police officers show up in the big crowds to play.

Yes, it’s still very popular, though of course nowhere near as popular as the initial release. And most places are happy to accommodate players. Obviously people who litter are assholes. But this idea that “you can only visit our park/establishment for the RIGHT reasons!” is absurd.

As if the FBI cares. It’s Okay If You’re A Republican!

“People celebrating the fact that my show got canceled, which is something that literally hundreds of people worked on. Is that fair, is that worth celebrating, over some jokes that you disagree with?”

This is always such a hilarious argument to me. Y’know, arresting drug dealers puts people out of work too!

If you’re…

Yep, totally. It’s not like this very site and hundreds of others had simultaneous orgasms over the Wonder Woman trailers!

Yep, seems as it’s been confirmed now. I’ve got no Chansey or Porygon yet, though I’m hopeful I’ll get at least one of each before the week is out. A ton of Lickitung though!

Nope, I just meant of the Pokemon currently available. None of the legendaries can be caught. Additionally, I don’t include any of the regional Pokemon, since I don’t have any trips to Europe, Asia or Australia in my near future :-)

The article included Porygon in the increased spawns, which would be amazing. But Niantic’s release makes no mention of Porygon that I can see, and considering Porygon a pink pokemon is a bit of a stretch. I would be ecstatic, as Chansey and Porygon are two of the only pokemon I still need to complete my dex, but I’m…

“ Porygon”

Where are you getting this from?

I got bored with Fire Emblem far quicker than Pokemon Go. I beat the Normal and most of the Hard campaign in a couple days. I have no real desire to keep going.

If it makes you feel better, it’s never been enforced anyway.

The only good thing? Excuse me? SURELY you’re forgetting that fuckin’ bird? HAHAHA REMEMBER THE BIRD? BIRDIE SANDERS? OH MAN, KILL ME PLEASE. I LOVE THAT BIRD.

“If you just want a Zelda machine, you already know everything you need to know for now.”

I have a Wii U already. So far, I’ve seen absolutely no reason to buy a Switch until Mario hits in November. That’s ... not great for Nintendo, especially since I’m a guy who has preordered every Nintendo console/handheld since…

The explanation is simple. You have to jump through about five hoops to even get the game to track your stats. It’s absurd. The game should just ask you as soon as you start it up — hey, is it cool if we track your stacks for the global missions? Frankly I’m not sure even that’s necessary, it’s not like there’s some…

It’s more that most people using this app are incredibly shy about talking on the phone. Plus, form letters to your congresspeople have existed for, oh, basically as long as democracy.
