    How often do you shop online?

    Except for food, I do all my shopping online these days. The prices are significantly better for most things, and I don't have to go out anywhere which is a definite plus - I haven't caught a bus or train since the pandemic started, and with most people now acting like its all over and there is...

    The Next Nintendo Console

    I think if Nintendo have proven one thing it's that they will not do what people expect when it comes to innovation, which means a VR console is almost certainly not on the cards. VR support is a definite possibility, but Nintendo won't want to split their playerbase by making VR exclusive...

    Completing a "living Pokédex." Is it worth it?

    I've done it several times across the generations, and it adds some longevity to the games if you're not interested in postgame or PvP - which I am not - but it's very much a personal satisfaction goal, so your mileage will definitely vary depending on what games you're playing to do it and how...

    [Legends: Arceus] Would you like more Legends games?

    I'm always up for more spinoffs, and I think Legends: Arceus was a pretty good one overall...it was just made very, very badly. I think if they were going to make another one, they would need to re-balance the supporting systems and make them meaningful additions, rather than just pointless...

    [Let's Go] More Let's Go games, yes or no?

    I don't see why not. The Let's Go titles had their flaws, but they were far more polished and thoughtful experiences than both Sword/Shield and Scarlet/Violet. Despite what some may claim to the contrary, I consider them spinoffs, and I definitely think they have a place in the franchise as a...

    nintendo direct -- february 8, 2023 edition

    Goodness, this was a Direct well worth staying up for. I am extremely disappointed that the Baten Kaitos remasters won't have their English voice acting - and they have the gall to claim on the Q+A section of the website nothing has been cut! - but I am overjoyed that they even exist. I'll take...

    Ever realized an old gen game wasn't as good as you originally thought?

    I think this is an inevitable feeling due to hardware limitations of the time and the fact that you can only experience something for the first time once. For all their various flaws, the modern titles are far smoother experiences than the older ones, with quality-of-life additions that make...

    Obtain Your Pokémon!

    This looks like it could be a fun distraction/motivation to post more! Name: Lynetté Pokémon: Bulbasaur Fully Evolving: No, keeping this one a Bulbasaur. Post Count: 11 Hemisphere: Northern Own a Rainbow Stone: Yes No shiny roll please, I'd like everything to be non-shiny.

    Which gen has the worst new pokemon?

    Kind of difficult to say, because every generation has some good designs and some truly awful ones. I think on balance I would say either Generation III or V has the highest number of designs I dislike the most, but those are both larger generations, so there are bound to be more in there on...

    [Question] How long did you take with the games?

    I finished the main story in three days, then played for three more and put the game down, with my playtime being around 50 hours by the end of it. I wasn't really rushing through or anything, but when I get into a game I tend to play for 8-10 hours a day until I'm satisfied, and with Pokemon I...

    Things that irk me about Pokémon Scarlet and Violet 😒

    Nemona's very existence would qualify for this for me, she's the most infuriating NPC I've encountered in a Pokemon game since...well, Hop, I suppose. In fact, if Hop was a girl and slightly more in-your-face throughout the game, with even less purpose for being so, I am fairly certain he would...

    What are some Pokémon that aren't legendary, but you think should be legendary?

    A weird one I think should be at least a mythical is Carbink. Diancie is a Carbink that has undergone a mutation, and if Phione qualifies as a mythical despite its weaker stats and generally forgettable existence, I don't see why Carbink shouldn't either really. I suppose it's weaker, not at the...

    What are you currently playing? V4

    My main game of choice at the moment is Forspoken on PS5 which, despite the mostly negative reception, I am actually enjoying quite a bit! Parkour is pretty satisfying, there's quite a lot of lore scattered around the world to supplement the story (which I will admit is kinda boring) and the...

    How many times have you played through the game?

    I've only played through Violet once so far. When the inevitable DLC is released I will probably play through Scarlet with that, and grab the few remaining Pokemon that I need to complete my Home Living Dex. But I don't feel any particular urge to play through the games again at the moment, I'm...

    Chit-Chat: New Users Chit-Chat - come say hi!

    Well, I am very fond of the first season, and the Johto seasons, but I'm also very fond of the Sinnoh seasons as well. The Battle Frontier wasn't bad either! I think when the plot gets going it's a very consistently good quality show, the problem is that the later seasons have an awful lot of...
