Hear me out - a monster catching/battling game, but instead of #pokemon, its enemies from various other #nintendo franchises: Metroids, Koopas, Goombas, Stalfos, etc.

I’d even argue this all started in Gen 2 with egg moves, since in some cases the β€œbest” mon wasnt the one you caught, it was the one with the right egg moves. But that was slightly less egregious because you could arguably still be competitive with a caught mon, at least in game as opposed to PvP.

With the EV rework, you can mess up its training, and have to work to either undo it, or train up a new mon from scratch, which kind of undercuts the ethos of β€œbefriending” mons in lieu of abandoning the β€œbad” ones. This was impossible in general 1/2.

So, I’ve been playing a lot of #pokemon Crystal. I’ve kind of come to the conclusion that I hate natures, and the EV rework in Gen 4. In Gen 1 and 2, it’s literally impossible to catch a β€œbad” Pokemon in the wild. Once natures got added, you could catch one with a bad nature. 🧡

I KINDA want Pokopia, but I think it might just be the hype. I’m already behind on games, I’m not really a β€œcozy” gamer, and spending $70 dollars for a game makes me physically ill. I’d wait for a sale but Nintendo never puts their first party stuff on sale, or at least not by much. #pokemon

I really, really hope Dragon Quest VII Reimagined's art direction is not just a one-off for this game only. I love it. I'm not saying EVERY mainline game should adopt it, but some spin-offs, or maybe do a whole line of "Reimagined" remakes. I'd love to see the Zenithian trilogy in this style.

Hear me out - a new #pokemon game, and everything is exactly the same, but the starter cycle is Psychic/Fighting/Dark instead of Fire/Water/Grass

This is how we got Mystery Dungeon, Rangers, Conquest, etc. I’m 100% on board with them doing this.

I fully expect Pombon's final evolution to be bipedal and it will be the first triple type pokemon as Fire/Dark/Fighting #Pokemon

I just want to apologize. It's my fault if we don't get playable Amani in #worldofwarcraft. The cosmos tends to conspire against me having nice things, and I'm afraid we all have to suffer because of it.

Christ, I wish I could go back in time and strangle the first person who convinced studio execs that the cheat code to effective drama is taking beloved legacy characters and retroactively drowning them in arbitrary β€œTRAUMA” that only newer, more poorly-imagined characters can help them through.

If you consider Smogon/Showdown and it's reach, I feel like singles is the "bigger" format. When Pokemon Champions releases, I wonder if Singles does well enough, if it will either replace doubles OR get a dedicated side stage at Worlds.
