by old randos I mostly mean gen 2 Pokmon. Give Stantler or Girafarig something, maybe let Sunflora evolve into something that doesnt suck


Like I said, Lanturn!

Also Sunflora already is an evolution and is more powerful than you think. Slow and frail though, but y'know, Grass types.

The way you're wording this post makes it sound like you forgot Lanturn is also an evolution.


I mean Forms and evolutions aren't linked to single-form Pokemon! (although I only realized that in your post after your comment).

Also, Sunflora HAS redeemable qualities! I'm using one in HG now and you don't wanna mess with its Petal Dance.

I still say the encounter rate in BW was completely intolerable. People hate on DP for being slow but BW is even slower because even if a single fight is twice as fast, you're getting pulled into three times as many. And thanks to XP scaling you're not leveling up any faster for it.


Who doesn't have at least 20 Repels at all times once you have a full party?

Since no one's really talking about the merits of Gen 6, I'll just say that the best thing about XY, which make them arguably the best Pokemon games imo, is the huge variety of catchable Pokemon throughout the game. I guess after 6 generations of these games they finally realized hey, there's a fuckton of these critters now, let's put a bunch of em in every area. Maybe this was a byproduct of having such a small crop of new pokeys, but it really made the games stand out in a big way for me. There were just so many options for cool Pokemon to use during the main story and I really liked that.

RyoCaliente posted...
Gen 6 totally rekindled my interest in the series. Fairy-type was a blessing, as now you can catch all Pokemon everywhere. How about a Dragon-type before the second gym? Why not, it has weaknesses now! I had a team of 17 Pokemon I rotated through, loved them all, and loved most of my time with the game. It was just kinda hard to care about the story and the characters. It was peak pure Pokemon gameplay for me.


I mentioned it! Like you said, Gen VI is probably the first game where I barely used Repels, just because I could get excited about all the potential cool Pokmon I could find on each route. Don't have to worry about grinding either, cause XP Share makes rotation balance out!

Gen 1 is nostalgia but when I think about it I immediately remember the absolute lack in variety of Pokemon when heading to Fuschia City and still finding trainers rocking their Pidgeys and Rattatas and bleh.

Gen 2 is super nostalgia because Crystal was the first game I bought but I hate how the level curve is all over the place. There are trainers near Blackthorn rocking Lvl 27 Pokemon when Claire has a Lvl 41 Kingdra. But dat Kanto return tho...

Gen 3 is also nostalgia but also the one where I kinda dropped off and I felt it had a poor variety in wild Pokmon. Best title theme though.

Gen 4 is where I definitely dropped off. I don't hate it, but I don't really care for it.

Gen 5 kinda rekindled my interest. Loved the design of everything, loved the new Pokemon that were the only ones you could use (although it also suffers from some of the same problems Gen 1 had...those damn fucking elemental monkeys man). Pokemon with a story too!

Gen 6 totally rekindled my interest in the series. Fairy-type was a blessing, as now you can catch all Pokemon everywhere. How about a Dragon-type before the second gym? Why not, it has weaknesses now! I had a team of 17 Pokemon I rotated through, loved them all, and loved most of my time with the game. It was just kinda hard to care about the story and the characters. It was peak pure Pokemon gameplay for me.

I went with Gen V, I think it's the best overall.

Also hedgehogs are obviously real but if you guys feel like Sonic doesn't count as a real hedgehog I'll move him to fictional animal species.

You might as well take the plunge, depending on the financial situation. Living abroad always opens up new things in life, and right you don't want to lose her and you're open to moving there for a while anyway. If it doesn't work out, you can take it from there, and if it does, even better. I think if you end it now you'll always have a "What if?" scenario stuck in your head.

Watermelon and cheesecake aren't great. I can totally understand someone not really liking eggs or coca-cola. I think normal salty Doritos can easily be too bland for some people, while flavoured Doritos might exactly be too "strong".

I can understand someone not liking chocolate, because I feel its's a food/candy/snack that you very quickly feel stuffed by. However, on a pure taste level, you have very sweet chocolate, you have bitter chocolate, and then there's milk and nuts chocolate and there's too many kinds of chocolate to actively dislike it, unless you have bad reactions to it. Then again I know someone who's lactose intolerant who loves cheese, so, y'know.

But pizza? That's ridiculous. Neither my dad, sister, or mother like pizza and I think they're insane for it. There's so many different things you can have on a pizza, and it's generally just a balanced meal in itself, offering everything you need in a meal. I totally feel the same way about spaghetti (but dislike paella, so maybe I'm weird in that).

But turning her into 007 is the problem. At that point, what's the point of having any history on the 007 name? If you inextricably link 007 to James Bond, you can have all of the other James Bonds (Connery, Lazenby, Moore, Dalton, Brosnan, Craig) be "canon" rather than just all belonging to the same person. It would create such a cool idea imo that all these secret agents actually have to be the womanizer/male dinosaur persona because that's what's being 007 (in-universe, not outside of it) is all about. If you then make 007 into a woman, the 007 doesn't mean anything. It's just a code-name, with no history attached to it, without legend. That'd be a shame.

No, I don't get the point of reusing 007 when marketing-wise it's always been about James Bond anyway. The only reason to do is, is not to put out a female action hero, but to say "Look, we can turn James Bond/007 into a woman, how progressive!!!"

This shouldn't be a sequel to Spectre, it should just be its own stand-alone thing. Or should we start a petition to make Charlie's Devils in the future as well?

I just don't get this. All of James Bond's characteristics define him as "a man". Either you turn him into a woman but keep the characteristics, but then what's the point, you've just cast a woman but she's playing a man.

Or you change the character, but why then call her 'Jane' Bond? Why then keep the name of that franchise?

The Doctor turning into a woman makes sense; there's little, if anything, inherently masculine about the Doctor. Aside from that, the regenerations constantly turn him into a new person, with a different personality and a different being than the one who came before. Ghostbusters was always more about a group of guys rather than one guy; altering that to a group of girls isn't that far-fetched.

Like, if there's any spy movie you wanna genderswap, go for Mission: Impossible. Tom is getting too old for that shit anyway!

I really didn't care for Infinity War. Thanos is the only good thing about it. None of the characters get to really do anything (aside from Gamora) and are just there to do their fighting stuff and omg they get killed off wow so cool so edgy I mean they're totally getting revived next movie so any emotional feelings attached to it are kind of whatever.

I've never really understood the hate for Dark World? I think it was quite a fun movie that went by quickly, did some more fun Thor+Loki stuff and a very pretty movie as well.

I don't dislike any of the Spider-Man movies (the opposite really) but with both I felt that something was missing. In a way, neither of them feel like they really fit the MCU in a way. They feel like they happen outside of it, even more than some of the TV shows, I don't know what it is. Also I didn't grow up with Spider-Man and Homecoming is literally the first time I ever saw Spider-Man so I don't have warm, fuzzy, youth/nostalgia feelings for him, maybe that was part of it (even though I DO like him).
