I mean if I hadn't spent nearly 20 years of my life so far making friends because I bought the thing I might agree that that's bad, but instead it's undeniably true that the series has been a gateway into finding people you can emotionally bond with, and I don't think capitalizing on that fact is bad. lots of people pay to join fraternities or take improv classes or play games because they want to be a part of a social group that bonds over a common interest, and I don't think that desire is bad, and I don't think it's bad for the groups that organize those things to acknowledge that that's a benefit.

watch this trailer and try not to feel strong emotions

anyway the designs for new Pokemon species has only improved over time and gen 1 had some of the laziest ones of all (pile of goo! bigger pile of goo! pink pile of goo! pokeball! upside down pokeball! just some eggs!) and even if it had some of the most beloved and elegant designs as well, the general sentiment that they've gotten worse over time is just silly.
My fave Pokemon starter is still Totodile his got so much personality.

But I will agree Pokemon is awesome for making friends and I kinda want to play it with my kids when I have them.

I will be like

"back in my day the slogan for Pokemon was gotta catch them all. Back then we only had like 251 (gold and silver) Pokemon not the 2510 we have today."

mmm
it was just a joke
but maybe im salty
i remember feeling left out a lot when i couldn't obtain games at the pace of other kids in the neighborhood
while obsessed with a particular game, they'd only play with others who had it

in related news, it looks like the 2ds is getting discounted soon
that'll be my opening to pick up the gen vi games

Doesn't the 2ds play all the 3ds games? Unless your talking about original ds.

These sure were weird times.

Over here in France, the kind of message this trailer gives definitely isn't true: the only thing that happens to a kid that plays Pokémon is that he gets flagged as a target for every single bully around.

I'm still unsure whether Sun or Moon will be better. Indecision!
One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly. The charlies were forced to not only surrender the skirmish, but also their world-famous chili recipe, which Sudo sold to Texas for a hefty profit. Sudo is a master of diplomacy.

Going for Moon myself because ghost type is bae.

In other news: there is a sea cucumber pokemon. I'm pretty sure the franchise is fast approaching peak interwebs.
Video games can be educational. The Oregon Trail taught me that Manifest Destiny is fatal.

Nothing super groundbreaking, although data miners managed to find all of the new Gen7 pokemon in S&M if anyone is interested in looking it up. You do get to port Ash-Greninja to S&M once you've completed the main part of the demo, though!



On another note, for those of you who have legit X/Y/OR/AS games, you can get Keldeo/Volcanion for free right now via Mystery Gift/GameStop code card (respectively) & bank them for use in S&M if you want.
