i feel like the mega dimension dlc is going to get reamed over the coals if it isn't like a 10/10, especially since it's coming out just a month after its parent game did. also, the preview did not make it look like a 10/10. also, more megas behind ranked battle :/

it isn't over but hopefully this is good news for folks who are worrying about nintendo/game freak eventually going after other monster properties. still not a palworld fan though; if you aren't feeling pokemon these days, go play something like digimon/cassette beasts/monster crown instead
The Japanese Patent Office has denied one of Nintendo’s pending patent applications amid its legal dispute with PalWorld developer Pocketpair.
The “monster capture” patent was reportedly denied after art from games predating the patent showed that the mechanic was not “inventive.”

i hate most uses of ai, but i'm seriously impressed at how football referees are seemingly doing their best to make people okay with them being replaced by bots

As much as I agree with criticisms towards Pokémon, I can’t take the people who hate on it and go around glazing Palworld instead seriously
There’s plenty of good monster collectors out there, but they go and glaze plagiarized slop, which is worse than anything Pokémon is doing quality-wise tbh

people gotta use hyperbole to sell their online content, eh? i get it, but you risk losing a part of yourself if you do that too much. if someone loses all of their sincerity, their content often becomes less appealing.

i'm not a big fan of hyperbole or sensationalism at all, so i wish youtube reviews of legends za would have video titles like "this game has issues" and "legends za is a step down from legends arceus" over things like "legends za is trash" and "this game is god's biggest mistake"

the most legitimate criticism i've seen of pokemon legends za is that it's too short. i get the impression that game freak was banking on the multiplayer aspects carrying the game's replay value, though i wonder how much extra content is being locked behind dlc as well.

i hope the next animal crossing game has the following:
-no more breakable tools (except for the axe)
-animals with personality types they haven't had before (like a sisterly wolf)
-way, WAY more dialogue for all the personality types. repetitive dialogue was one of new horizons' worst flaws

no matter how good or bad or mid the seahawks are this season, no matter the memes that still exist about not running the ball, they still aren't the seattle mariners.

it sounds like pokemon legends za is going to have mandatory auto-save.
as annoying as it is for shiny hunting and whatnot, past pokemon games with auto-save have been prone to glitches that have even screwed up save files.
personally, i'd hesitate on playing za until all the dlc comes out (1/2)

crack theories for tadc episode seven that aren't "the players are ai constructs":
-only pomni can escape the circus because she's the only player whose body is "alive" in the real world
-ribbit was basically evil and/or is secretly alive
-ragatha indirectly caused ribbit to abstract
-jax dies

it'd also be sort of cruel, in a way, for there to be a "the players are ai" twist revealed as more and more human designs for the tadc characters have been created by fans. i'll be kind of relieved if this isn't the plot direction the show goes in, but i'm expecting it for now.

learning that episode seven of tadc will likely be contentious makes me think it's likely that the players are ai constructs of real life people. i'd have mixed feelings, though i'd suspect the show would then explore what it means to have "a soul"/self-awareness.

another good counter for ting-lu is milotic, since it can use water type moves, and would also have recover AND life dew. ting-lu also has lower special defense than physical defense.

planning to use teal mask ogerpon for the ting-lu raids. i don't believe she's weak to any of the moves it can learn (unless game freak tries something sneaky), and she can learn horn leech via the "remember moves" option on her summary screen.
