Let me make my contribution too: Spanish, French and Chinese accents are also terrible XD
If two languages are too different, then the speakers of either language will be terrible at the other :(

That doesn't count 😂

I didn't realise a small country like UK would have so many different accents XD

Which reinforces my question: why can't I hear any difference between people from different parts of North America, including Canada?

239078 english towns have been isolated from one another for years there wasnt always easy paths between them so accents didnt mix and dilute they more divergerd. america is relatively young and cities are well connected, accents would of mixed and blended. still there is nice variation, just not as dense. even im english and can tell a slight difference between canada and US 🙂

I can hear quite a difference between a lot of North American accents, but a lot of NA celebrities all seem to have the same one.

I think that's the problem; the only American people I hear are celebrities, athletes, Youtubers, and sometimes fellow researchers XD
I remember watching a video by PewDiePie in which he reacts to an American girl whose accent was terrible, he had trouble understanding her (so did I).

Enough talking of the worst, what's the best?
I like the British accent, it sounds elegant to me :)

Knowing GF, it would probably just have fingers sticking out somewhere along the way like Reshiram has on it's wings.

I saw the new Pokémon Presents, I am not impressed. Nothing really new in Pokémon Pearl/Diamond. Pokémon Arceus gets my attention. Something really bothers me though: there are new Pokémons/forms, and I will have to include them in my game, which implies that, either I wait for someone to make the sprites, or I learn pixel-art to make them myself :(

I watched that trailer from the Legends game and am somewhat torn. On one hand, they have made improvements, stuff looks a lot better and while there are definitely still flaws (the cliff looked really polygonal for example), I think it'll look really good in the end.
But on the other hand I feel like they've again glossed over the main things only briefly. It also felt very zoomed in a lot of the time (which could be due to the Switch's low resolution being full HD at best). It's also another instance of them showing us what they consider the "best part" of the game. Like, battling is cool and all and Pokerides (which I assume is what it is) are convenient, but is that really all there is?

One thing I really didn't like in BotW was how it was just a sandbox. There was no effort put into worldbuilding and interesting side characters and whatnot. And I'm afraid Legends might just end up being the same.

For example: they only showed it briefly, but there was indeed a town in the trailer. And it felt so incredibly empty and boring, very similar to the towns in SwSh.
