FYI the leaks helped me pick the version I wanted. I didn't preorder since I was undecided until now. I would've been upset to say the least had I gone with my original plan of buying Sun and missed out on the Pokemon I wanted. They can serve a very useful purpose for people who don't have the...

Who cares. No one complained like this when JPN and international releases were months apart. Simultaneous international release was only a thing since X&Y. No one complains when sites like Serebii have frequently broken street date getting "early" copies a few days early. It's not the end of...

Since Red is back, I'd honestly like to see the other game protagonists. If they redo PWT, I'd love a round where Red and the other game protagonists return to battle you - male/female PCs are chosen at random from each generation each time you challenge it. It's pretty unlikely to happen but...

Legendary Pokemon being exclusive isn't really canonical, just because the player can only get one doesn't mean that there's only one of the species that exists. For example, there are multiple Dialga/Palkia/Giratina since you can hatch one in HGSS not to mention having to explain multiple of...

Warning: post contains small datamine spoilers. From the reveal today, I think Cosmog is almost certainly related to Lunala. I'm going to break down the official bios for them, starting with Cosmog: (got them off Serebii if you want to double check) This rules out Cosmog and Lunala having a...

Civilization 6. I was equally hyped for it and thank Arceus I have a good month with it before Sun comes out.

+ = ????? That being said, can't be shocked with the result given Alolan Meowth's already lazy design

I'm going to name my Rowlett Olive, after Oliver Queen, the Green Arrow. I soft reset for a female starter so I'm going with the female version of the name.

A big change you can write about is the paralysis nerf, Thunder Wave is going down to 90% accuracy and paralysis itself halves speed instead of reducing it by 1/4. This has large implications for competitive play because it nerfed speed control as well as in indirect buff to heavy offense, as...

Eh, those people are silly. Giovanni was a career criminal and it's not really conceivable he would simply abandon the wealth and power he was accustomed to. The idea Silver was his son originated in FRLG anyways, I don't understand where this whole redemption of Giovanni stuff comes from. If...

Who cares about Origins. I loved the homage to a relatively obscure but lore-significant in-game event from HGSS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pExn-S7WduQ
