Nanu and Acerola aren't related, she just calls him uncle in a affectionate and respectful way. And of course he doesn't care at all and is like "who the **** is this kid?"

Kukui isn't actually related to the protagonist, but only calls them cousin/brother because its a reference to how Hawaiians call each other by familial terms even if they aren't related.
Yes I know. Sarcasm is hard to put into text.

I feel like literally 100% of Acerola's bit is just doing whatever the hell she wants carte blanche.

Show off some ancient books of literally all our heritage to a couple of random kids? Sure, go ahead. Set up a trial in a failed supermarket full of spooks? Knock yourself out. Be the only member of the Elite Four who hasn't graduated from puberty? Absolutely, you want that room in purple or grey?

Kid's got it made. She backs it up though; I especially like how she mentions she wanted to take you out and become the first Champ herself at the end. Got spunk. Probably my favorite trial captain.

[EDIT] Odd bit from Bulbapedia though?

The hell? That ain't an age, that's how you write "shrug" in numerals.

Your favorite trail captain is NOT Lana?

Holy ****.

11-19 years old is the only conclusion from the info that the game gives us
11 because that's how old you need to be to go on the Island Challenge and that itself is a requirement to becoming a Captain
19 because Captains have to give up on their position when they turn 20

The fact she might be 11 is a bit worring when I think about how much people like her

It was mentioned in this video, I'm not sure how legit they are. Regardless of that, they're kind of cringy
OH wow that video is awful.

Regardless, it looks like they just said "I don't know" in reality.

Well it can't be any worse than how it was with Serena or Iris before her or Dawn before her or May before them all.
Fair points all.

An event like no other.
Damn straight.

Down on the corner, out in the street.

For the lazy, the statement made about it was:

"I have no idea. There are discussions around it, but there is no conclusion yet."

Some explain to me how that statement = 'Bethesda doubts Switch's power'.

Wasn't even Bethesda per se.

The correct attribution would be to Arkane Studios' Ricardo Bare, who wasn't sure if Prey could be ported to the Switch, though discussions had apparently been had.

Arkane Studios is now owned by ZeniMax Media, but that only makes it and Bethesda Softworks owned by the same parent company. The tie is tenuous at best, and in this context Bethesda hasn't said a thing.

They aren't sure, so there is doubt whether it can or not.

If they had no doubts itd be assured

Guys, if the NSwitch impressed Todd, then why would he doubt the Switch's power?

I can't imagine him going, "Wow this is cool but it can't hold Skyrim"

Just got back from Star Wars Rogue One.

Holy crap, it was freaking INCREDIBLE!!! Hands down the best film I seen this year and a BIG step up from The Force Awakens. You're shooting yourself in the foot if you're a Star Wars fan and miss this.

My dad (who saw the original Star Wars in theaters way back when) loved it and even went as far as saying it was the second best Star Wars film only to the original film.

Watch it.

I have no idea who "The Know" are, they just appeared in my feed

They're pretty cringy though, that's the only real thing I noticed about them

If you mean me going blue, then yes.

True, but I imagine they are talking about newer games working on it. That's my only worry about 3rd party support, that if the Switch isn't as powerful, it'll get less support from other companies.

Granted, companies like Capcom, Sega and kind of sorta Ubisoft would probably end up supporting anyway. I could see some stuff from indie companies doing well, given these past few years.

Wonder Trading a bunch of Luxury Ball Goomy named Squid Icarus. . .holding Luxury Balls.

I've done eight trades so far and three of them have been hatchling Abras, all from different OTs. I guess people are breeding for Synchronize?

I'm not sure. I think Japan is just sending them out for some reason.

So while I was busy playing through Trials and Tribulations to clear my backlog for Spirit of Justice yesterday, I missed out on a mass-scale blueing of this part of the boards. I don't think I've much left to contribute to the discussion other than saying that even though I've played through T&T once before, that doesn't make the events that transpire any more dramatic.
