Gen 3 and 7 are the only gens where I actually like all of the starters. Gen 4 is close to that but I still haven't fully formed an opinion on Empoleon.
I like at least 2 of the starters in the other gens with the exception of Gen 5 (which is Ironic since it's my favorite Gen) because Oshawott's evolutionary line is the only one that appeals to me.

It's a very nice change of pace to debate a topic such as this and not having the opposing person go into personal insults or nothing that has to do with the topic of hand just to disregard whatever I've said. I don't really much to disagree with, TBH, you've provided pretty convincing arguments and my reply was much less a rebuttal of your points and more so points of what I've heard from other people before, but they didn't really bring nearly as much perspective as you did. And I already agree with most what you had to say, including the facts about the south, I was just referring to after the civil war when they did gain the right to vote, but with the freedom of people to go by their own rules unchecked, things were even worse than pre-civil war 1800s. Also, when I refer to discrimination, I'm not referring all jobs paying the exact same, that's not based upon minuscule qualities and more so how much work you put in to earn that or how much value you gain. Your opportunities and earnings should be on actual qualities that contribute to your job. I do think people have rights to basic protections. And I'm not saying that things will revert back to the past, that's not my fear, I just think that everyone should be able to have the opportunity to bring themselves to success, regardless of who they are as long as they aren't dangerous.

The reason why you can't have a private police force is because a police force controlling itself would give them too much power, if the laws were decided by the police themselves. You need the local public at least to have some say in what goes in their laws, otherwise the police can easily just get rid of whatever liberalism set in place.(Which I'm sure is not what you meant anyway.)

I agree with giving most of the power to the people though, but there should be some kind of regulations, but regulations to restrict people's freedom. After all, in order to make the government so powerless, you'd have to make some pretty big regulations to make that the case, especially considering how it is now.

But yes, thank you, definitely changed my perspective. I definitely agree with the gov. and military being smaller. But there has to be some kind of structure to prevent some kind of monolith forming, if it's too much of an anarchy you simply have another gov. take its place.

Somewhere out there on this big blue marble
Just realized I never posted my thoughts on the trailer
Decidueye: Looks AMAZING, Ghost typing is great as it also loses it's dumb quadweakness and Spirit Shackle is extremely cool
Incineroar: LOVE it. Oozes personality and the game makes it look great. If Darkest Lariat DOESN'T ignore defence drops, I'll be very disappointed, but it's still a good move
Primarina: Ew. Design doesn't click with me, and those eyes are creepy. Sparkling Aria will likely need Scald, making it predictable
Tapu Lele: Cute! It's got a very useful ability aswell!
Tapu Bulu: Looks cool and finially makes Grassy Terrain useful
Tapu Fini: ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE. Sadly it's terrain likely doesn't help it that much
Guardian of Alola: Sounds great for the bulkier ones
Cosmog: I want to hug it
Alolan Persian: Still wortle-HOLY **** FUR COAT?
Cynthia: **** YES! Give me a remix of her sweet theme too!
Wally: Good to see him back and very confident
Red and Blue: Look great, Blue's theme also got a funky remix. A worthy 20th anniversary appearance

I am so glad I never gave into the urge of buying Loot boxes for Overwatch this Halloween and I swear this will continue for every event onward.

Got the Junkenstein skin for Junkrat a week ago, than I got the Junkeinstein Monster skin for Roadhog a couple days ago and tonight I just got Witch Mercy. Ahh, that feeling you get when you know you've made the right decision.

Wow, watching this thing from 1993

They are talking about how misogynist the video game industry is and calling for change

History really does keep repeating itself

It used Night Trap as an example

And how video games as a whole were not catering toward the female audience

Oh hey, I just found out they are making a Zelda movie staring Jennifer Lawrence

It's a movie about Zelda Fitzgerald

It's just being called "Zelda" and that's it

A new "train on" trailer came out feauring new footage.

Alolan Exeggutor has a Z-Move called "Breakneck Blitz" and like its regular counterpart it evolves via Leaf Stone.
Apparently Charjabug evolves into Vikavolt until Lv. 40
As expected Alolan Ninetales can learn Dazzling Gleam
Silvally uses an unidentified beam attack (Ice Beam?, Flash Cannon?, I don't know...)
The Rock Z-Move involves dropping a huge rock over your opponent ala Majora's Mask's Moon.

So here's a fun little activity I thought up. I call it the "Personalized Smash Bros." game.

Basically, with this game, you pick your five favorite Nintendo franchises and fill Smash 4's roster with just games from that franchise. This would allow for characters who wouldn't get in any other way, theoretically, and should in theory be different depending on each person, hence the "personal" moniker.

As a bonus, you can still include the third party characters, since it may be harder to get 58 characters otherwise. They won't count toward your five series. I said five Nintendo franchises, after all. :p

I'll post mine in a bit.

Edit: ...No, you can't pick Smash as one of the five series. No loopholes. :p
Ok, I pick Mario (and consider Yoshi part of the Mario series because at this point I only think Yoshi got his own series in 64 on the misguided hope that Yoshi's Story would be bigger than it was), Zelda, Pokemon, Donkey Kong & Star Fox.

  1. Mario
  2. Luigi
  3. Peach
  4. Bowser
  5. Captain Toad
  6. Yoshi
  7. Wario (has plumber costume by default)
  8. Waluigi
  9. Rosalina
  10. Bowser Jr. (w/ Koopaling costumes)
  11. Daisy
  12. Paper Mario

  1. Link (Standard)
  2. Zelda
  3. Ganondorf
  4. Toon Link
  5. Sheik
  6. Impa
  7. Midna
  8. Toon Zelda/Tetra
  9. Nomad Link (BotW)
  10. Ruto
  11. Skull Kid

  1. Pikachu
  2. Jigglypuff
  3. Mewtwo
  4. Charizard
  5. Lucario
  6. Squirtle
  7. Sceptile
  8. Blaziken
  9. Greninja
  10. Gardevoir
  11. Ivysaur

  1. DK Donkey Kong DK Donkey Kong is here
  2. Diddy Kong
  3. Dixie Kong
  4. Cranky Kong
  5. Funky Kong
  6. HE HAS NO STYLE HE HAS NO GRACE
  7. THIS GIRL'S GOT STYLE SO LISTEN UP DUDES
  8. ONE HELL OF A GUY
  9. King Kuh-Rool
  10. Baddie from the return series(?)

  1. Fox
  2. Falco
  3. Wolf
  4. Slippy
  5. Peppy
  6. Krystal

  1. Solid Snake

I know I'm picking Decidueye in one version, but I'm not really sure who to pick for the others

Water/ Fairy seems to me to be the superior typing vs Fire/ Dark

I'm picking Popplio and my rwo other friends that will be buying SM will choose the other two
I showed my brother the trailer too and he wants Popplio as well... but he said he hopes to god his Popplio is female and not male... I have never been so disappointed with him
He should do what I do when I get a male Gardevoir

I'm glad I removed Marowak and Vikavolt from my team
2 Pokemon that share a type is okay (Most of my teams tend to have 2 Pokemon that share a type, with the exception of FireRed, Emerald, and White 2) but 2 pairs of Pokemon that share a type (Wimpod and Vikavolt, Marowak and Decidoueye) is too much.

23 years later and the video game industry is still at large male-oriented because massive companies love to appeal to the demographic who buys the most copies (though this problem is obviously less prevalent than fifteen, ten, or even five years ago).

just how demographics work, mostly. it's difficult to change.

Hello Games, the developers of No Man's Sky, posted on Twitter "No Man's Sky was a mistake" and immediately locked their account afterwards.

https://www.destructoid.com/hello-g...ake-immediately-protects-account-396196.phtml

EDIT: It was none other than Sean Murray himself, it seems.

I'd watch this as a supplement

This isn't doom and gloom for the Switch, it can very much do well despite all these issues, but these are still very considerable issues that it'll face in regards to third party support.

The Steam Reviews are sitting on.... just see for yourself.

Must be hard on them, as it has basically become a cool thing now to hate on the game, not to mention many see it as the epitome of everything wrong with the gaming industry practices now, like pre-order culture and hype culture.

Since people are talking NMS again, I'll share a masterpiece that perfectly sums everything about the game from early reveals to now.

I think the real problem with No Man's Sky was the hype.

Sony more or less doomed the game when they started to portray it like the next sliced bread instead of a highly experimental indie game.

Hello Games got in way over their heads.
