I replaced Criminally Overlooked because it was redundant with Underrated, replaced "Not usually my thing but" with Guilty Pleasure (which just made more sense) and added in Best Writing and changed Story to Plot to separate the two. Oh and "Retro" is a silly term so now that's "stuff older than me"

I made adjustments to the format, but I've seen this grid going around and wanted to do jt as a fun exercise. And the "Pikachu" is just a placeholder for the whole franchise lol

Insane elden ring reference to put in this game of all games

gotta be a tossup between Lysandre who got the immortal curse after blasting himself with the ultimate weapon inside Flare's hideout, Giovanni who was implied to hurl himself off a waterfall, and that guy from Team Rocket who got Hyper Beamed by Lance's Dragonite in Gen 2

Does this make Trump our worst president ever?

Oh, yeah, it's not even close

To everyone who says Trump is the first mentally deranged president who drove the country to war, hated over half the population, got hundreds killed for no reason, and threw our economy in the shitter, that's not true! The last one was #15, James Buchanan. You know, right before the Civil War lmao

absolutely do it, I hope they enjoy SF. Has the potential to be a major franchise in the future, too, and it's really cool to grow up alongside a series like we got to for Pikmin, Pokémon, arguably Zelda

I guess congress and SCOTUS are ok with being considered the most heinous people in all of history

Like this isn't some "I wasn't serious I didn't mean it that way" stuff, this is "I'm literally saying it verbatim and it is meant to be interpreted this way, millions will die, I'll do it to you, too"

Little insane I'm not seeing as much uh... panic, from the majority of people in our country, over the president's threat to obliterate an entire nation in brazen language. Does this not make people think "gee maybe he'll do this to as many people as possible until he gets what he wants"? Really?

again, to reiterate its strengths, this game has phenomenal atmosphere even if the writing is incredibly mediocre, and it knows it. Music slapped, graphics vary between really good and "wow this should have been on 3DS instead". Replayability also feels lower than other titles but mileage varies

If this spinoff got another chance I think it has absurdly high potential. Customization was rather limited, resource/territory management felt unfinished, the "Link" system to capture new Pokémon felt incredibly underwhelming and simplified. Fix all of those and everything else will be elevated

I cleared Pokémon Conquest for the first time yesterday! I have... thoughts. lmao

Conquest might be the most messy Pokémon game that exists from the DS and prior era that isn't Generation 1, and it absolutely revels in it. Extremely charming, knows how to keep attention, and the RNG is WACK

fun fact, assuming I am right about location, there are protests outside our building every single Friday because Rep Fitzpatrick is on the 2nd floor. It's really entertaining having the protesters get honked-at by nearby drivers in agreement at the end of the work week

hmm guess Champions might actually become the "main" moveset going forward, perhaps

turns out the sun thing is a mistranslation and the ability just enables Sun effects via using moves, so all the benefits with no drawback and no field-wide weather effect

to your point on Dragon, did Gatr even get Body Slam in ZA? I did not see it listed on Serebii where this was reported

Oh so it doesn't actually set the Sun, then? That's WAY better, phew

like yes ok you can Synthesize more HP and fire more Solar Beams but was Solar Beam REALLY going to be your choice in Singles or Doubles? NO

4 weeks ago 0 0 0 0

These ability choices are genuinely awful

Emboar barely benefits from Mold Breaker unless he's hitting through Flash Fire or Levitate, on the off chance you even use Ground with him

Gatr only gets Facade and Double Edge that you'd consider using

Meganium post-move gains a stronger Fire weakness

we inch closer and closer to some nutcase with a weapon assassinating politicians for this every day and boy they are lucky it hasn't happened sooner

Like as a history grad I did see the flaws, but to see so many people in the capital decide "yeah this is fine" when every single constituent hates it... like what the hell are you doing, do you not know what political suicide is lmao, this might end well for you next week but not for your lifetime
