@Nonno_Umby @JackaryDraws Well no, because Nintendo games and LEGO are fundamentally different products.
Not saying it's not happening, but Nintendo's primary market is still very much children.

@JackaryDraws Then for that same reason a remake targeting Millennials is a strategic business move.
And nothing is indicating it would be a reimagining. I think it will basically be a graphical overhaul but the core games remains the same. They did that for even older games (Mario RPG)

aight I don’t keep track of leakers, how reliable is this Natethehate fellow because it is WILD seeing this getting reported by big outlets 👀
IGN@IGN
A new Starfox game and a Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake are among numerous unannounced Nintendo games reportedly headed to Switch 2 this year, according to noted internet tipster Natethehate. bit.ly/3PxRgnj

@JcookeJeff @gator_gum If you can't handle getting hit in the head, don't play the Getting Hit In The Head Game.
English
@gator_gum Ok Gator just so I get this straight, your ok with a female with male chromosomes that give her more muscle mass, fighting in women’s boxing, one girl who trained most of her life said it was like getting hit by a sledgehammer and quit after the first round for her safety?
English
Imane Khelif is biologically female, was born and registered as female, and has lived and boxed as a female. She also holds a female passport.
JK Rowling and Pierre Poilievre just called her a man.
Remember last week when RW Influencers were trying to tell us how "classy" Poilievre was?
English
@ZillvaPlayZ @omio3344 @temp6t Of course they 'shaped the competitive scene at the time', each time a new game came out, it's gimmick was the only one available. You have no other choice if you want to even be 'on the scene'. That doesn't make a gimmick any good.
English
@ParanoidPanda @omio3344 @temp6t Terrible take. Alle the gimmicks have shaped the competitive scene at the time. Not being available in the current mainline game doesn't change that fact.
Reducing the main competitive platform to "a freemium spin-off game" also tells me you're not a valuable part of the convo
English
yea even they know they were on straight BULLSHIT for 3 generations in a row after megas

It’s now confirmed that Pokémon Champions will only support Mega Evolution initially. Other mechanics will be added in the future.
English
@GASLIGHTER_ Well she wasn't responding to "50 years of feminist thought", she was responding to lunatic nonsense that a mentally ill person who *also* hasn't engaged in feminist thought happened to tweet earlier.
English
It's so funny to see women completely refuse to engage with the last 50 years of feminist thought by going "hey so".
eve@eeveeithink
hey so anal sex isn’t degrading. being penetrated isn’t degrading. having sex as a woman isn’t degrading.

@kalsko8 @Biscuithammer0 @fromarsetoelbow Why do people keep saying 'Israel is tiny! It's so small!'
Its size is irrelevant. Either it's violating international law or it's not. And the growing expert consensus is that it is.
English
@Biscuithammer0 @fromarsetoelbow ...You literally can't internalize the fact that Israel is tiny with a 50-to-1 disadvantage in population & land, with numerous state & non-state enemies who actually are so depraved that they kill more of their own. It sounds insane to you b/c IT IS REAL AND INSANE!
English
I sometimes wonder what supposedly intelligent people imagine Apartheid South Africa was actually like. Do they imagine it was just the normalisation of racist insults or a restricted franchise? Have they no understanding of the central necessity of violence to its operation?
Eric Kaufmann@epkaufm
The left is unhinged to call Israel a genocidal apartheid state, but Israel cannot continue to let West Bank settlers get away with violence.
English
@ZillvaPlayZ @omio3344 @temp6t They have no meaningful application at all if they can't be used in future games. The only way to test Mega vs Z moves vs Max vs Tera vs whatever the new bullshit will be is in a freemium spin-off game that will never impact the main series.
English
@ParanoidPanda @omio3344 @temp6t Visuals have zero impact on whether a gimmick is good or bad. Its applications does. Megas are by far the worst in this aspect
English
@ParanoidPanda @temp6t Megas don't change the type of every mon you want heck it doesn't even change the type of most megas also the fact that every other gimmick is available for everyone and not just "the chosen ones" makes them better than megas for me
English
@benclarkson Lol come on now there is absolutely no way Rowling had ever read Earthsea before writing Harry Potter and she most likely still hasn't.
It's a pastich of extremely common British children's novel tropes, nothing to do with Le Guin.
English
Rowling stole the idea for a Wizard school, a gifted child who has a facial scar, and the protagonist pursuing their shadow from A Wizard of Earthsea - and I refuse to shut up about it.
Earthsea then pivots to refute the hero's quest and throw away Wizards as incel losers.

First trailer for the ‘HARRY POTTER’ series. Releasing this Christmas on HBO.

@OneMrUsername Sorry, but the bar is not so low that we should be comfortable with letting white nationalists dictate the terms of our discourse. And there are PLENTY of great journalists who are highly critical of Israel and do not rely on antisemitic dog whistles to make their points.
English
Just to be clear, Tucker Carlson has:
- repeatedly advocated for the racist Great Replacement Theory
- called Middle Eastern people “semi literate primitive monkeys”
- said it’s ok for 27-year-olds to marry 16-year-olds
- framed trans people as inherently violent
- laundered the reputations of accused rapist Andrew Tate, Nazi sympathizer Nick Fuentes, and Vladimir Putin
- said that immigrants make the US “poorer and dirtier”
- was literally FIRED from Fox News for being too racist
So…no. You don’t “have to hand it to him.” For literally any reason.
Mehdi Hasan@mehdirhasan
I have waited years for someone to challenge this nonsense phrase on mainstream media. An indictment of the liberal PEP media that it took Tucker Carlson to do it. And he undeniably did it well.
English
@ltsKairos @BaikenBeyhivee Even back then that was not "the easiest way" or the intended way. The vast majority of parents were obviously not buying their children a second whole gameboy *and* the other pokemon version *and* a link cable to trade with themselves.
Anyone who was alive then knows that.
English
@ParanoidPanda @BaikenBeyhivee We are talking about how the games were intended to be when created? When the online features for Pokémon we have today didn’t exist?
English
actually while i'm here, where DID the idea that GameFreak wants you to buy both games come from? Like from a financial standpoint, that straight up doesn't make sense so where did that come from LMAO
English
@BeninJenkins @BaikenBeyhivee Lol yes it was, they were very clear that what you were *supposed* to do was buy the link cable and find a friend with the other game.
The games are first and foremost for a Japanese market, where that was a very reasonable expectation.
English
@ltsKairos @BaikenBeyhivee It quite literally is not, especially now it is easier than ever to complete the dex with only one game because of online features.
If you're literally incapable of finding Pokemon players IRL... you are on the internet right now.
English
@BaikenBeyhivee Would have solved this issue. But they 1000% always intended for buying the other copy to be the easiest way to complete the pokedex because that quite literally is the easiest way
English
@bashamuto8 @lm71060 @OllieDreamer I didn't say there was no profit motive at all, I said nobody *needs* to buy both versions. And even if you *do*, you'll still need to trade with people anyway, unless you're going to buy a second Switch 2.
English
@ParanoidPanda @lm71060 @OllieDreamer They just happen to benefit from the portion of people that will buy both no matter what. Even sell double packs.
English
Some of y’all are too young to be critiquing something Pokémon has always been about.
English
@maplebonk @shakfromny @_ericblanc There is no such thing as an "objective meaning", for any term, but this meaning is *especially* subjective. You are pushing a narrative that "people of Israel" means "all Jews" (it doesn't), because you conflate Israel with Jews to deflect valid critique.
English
English
Tolerating anti-semitic remarks in our movement makes it harder to build a mass pro-Palestine movement in the US, it's not that complicated
English
@maplebonk @shakfromny @_ericblanc That's not an objective interpretation. If not all Jews identify as "people of Israel" (and they don't!), then they are not all covered by that slogan.
This is the same tired "If you criticize/hate Israel you hate all Jews" horse you always trot out.
English
@shakfromny @_ericblanc “Am Yisrael” is a term for all Jews.
Susan isn’t an idiot. She’s a bigot, a racist and a defender of Neo Nazis, but she’s not an idiot.
And she’s calling for am Yisrael to die.
English
@lm71060 @OllieDreamer *You* don't and you never did to begin with. The reason game freak continues to do it is because it's a core part of the series identity.
None of the fan 'solutions' would change the need to engage withe community either, it's purely a subjective issue of optics.
English
@TheFoochy @ChimeraMialst @OllieDreamer Which is the entire point. To be social and form a community.
English
@TheFoochy @ChimeraMialst @OllieDreamer Sure, but why should they? There is already no problem. You do not have to buy both versions of the game, you never did. People who won't engage with the community have only themselves to blame, because the community has solved and will solve these issues.
English
@Venonat331 Too bad they didn't do that for any actual Sinnoh pokemon and instead gave everything new to pokemon from other gens/regions.
