Why does Pokemon Go of all things need full access to my phone? I mean I get it's Google and they love connecting everything with everything else but... why?

I can't see why it would need it. The game doesn't even give you a screen where you accept the permissions either.

Apparently, the game still works fine if you revoke access, though (and it doesn't do this in the first place on Android).

I don't know how they would have managed to let it happen but I'm thinking it's a bug.

Note that it is only on iOS.

Google can already collect data from Android phones, but I suppose it wants a share of the Apple pie too. :p

Welp, a high profile porno site just @'d NoA over the fact that Pokemon GO has been more searched than porn.

They even gave them a gym badge.

...NoA are never retweeting that. lol

I watched the newest episode of XY&Z.

So the writers are rushing through the League this time. Instead of showing the top 32 matches, we are shown the top 8 instead. That Ash vs Astrid battle? Yeah, we only see 30 seconds of the fight. All we see is Ash's Hawlucha defeating Astrid's Mega Absol, and it was apparently her last Pokemon, allowing Ash to win and proceed to the top 4. We also know that Alain is in the top 4 as well.

Most of the episode focuses on Tierno vs Sawyer...

This battle was a lot better than the Alain vs Trevor one. For all the Aegislash fans here, you'll enjoy this episode. Aegislash had some pretty good moments, most notably taking out Tierno's Ludicolo using the good ol' OP Swords Dance Physical Sweeper strategy. Raichu surprisingly had some good moments as well. It took out Sawyer's Aegislash. Tierno makes a smart call in withdrawing Raichu when it gets affected by Attract from Sawyer's Slurpuff. He then sends out Blastoise to take out Slurpuff.

Sawyer then summons his Sceptile, which now has a scarf around its neck with its Mega Stone to the side. It doesn't take very long for Sceptile to take out Blastoise, thus forcing to Tierno to use Raichu. At that moment, Sawyer Mega Evolves his Sceptile, and from there, Sceptile gives Raichu a good run for its money and defeats it.

The Top 4 is now confirmed to be Ash vs Sawyer and Alain vs Remo (the Mega Garchomp trainer that Alain fought in Mega Evolution Act I). At this point, battles will now be 6 v 6 instead of 3 v 3.

Oh yeah, the end of the episode reveals who Ash's 6th Pokemon will be...

For the full effect of watching this scene, have this track playing at 0:27 in the below video (as for the music present in the linked text, just ignore the video; only play it for the audio).


No new episode for this week because the Magearna movie comes out this Saturday in Japan's theaters. They revealed a new five minute trailer for the upcoming movie for those that are interested. Just as a heads up, it's only in Japanese, but it does show us some clips from the movie.


Next week, we will be watching the top 4 match featuring Ash and Sawyer. It is confirmed that Ash vs Sawyer is going to be a two-parter. It's also confirmed that Sawyer has a Slaking on his team.

"We need to make Miles Morales more like Peter Parker... I know lets hook him up with a Gwen Stacy!"

Oh Bendis...
Paging @Spider Gwen

This doesn't surprise me really after the new Iron Man and "Cap's HYDRA but not really" things.
Just Marvel being Marvel.

Didn't Ash become the champion in the Orange League?
To be fair that wasn't a proper league. He just fought the one guy in what was basically a Champion battle after travelling across islands to face an Elite 4.

Yeah but the Orange League was Exclusive to the Anime (alongside the whole Orange Archipielago thing) so i didn't count that.

Ash has still to win a Pokémon Leauge that's based on the games. Ash was at Top 4 AT BEST.

The Indigo Plateau League was won by an Unnamed trainer.
The Silver Conference was won by Joe Dickson (yeah that's his name)
The Ever Grande Conference was won by Tyson.
The Lilly of the Valley Conference was won by Tobias.

And lastly, the Vertress Conference was won by Virgil.

At least the writers are making things look like Ash will have a better League experience this time. At the rate this is going, he's probably going to beat Sawyer and advance into the finals, and in the probable chance Ash loses the finals? Well, at least that would be the farthest Ash has made it in a League thus far.

Goodra actually is coming back? That's neat! However, at the same time, it makes Noivern even more pointless. He already was basically there just to serve as a replacement and now he can't even do that. He's just... there.

It's also really nice to see Pokémon as a big thing again. I'd like to see things stay that way.

Two 'Iron Man' people actually.

The one in the bottom left is (presumably) Dr. Doom.

Riri is off doing... something I guess.

Speaking of Spider people...

They're also bringing back Renew Your Vows from Secret Wars.

I really hope that some spooky reality altering event happens and this becomes canon, since (as far as I know) this is another universe.

There was also a teaser with a Nova Helmet. I really hope this means they're bringing back Richard Rider.

Zack Snyder's writing the story for Wonder Woman.
Lowering expectations big time.
Screenplay should be good if Geoff Johns is on form though.

Then we just found the new fitness app for nerds.
Alternatively road accidents increase.

Welp, SiIvaGunner's Direct video is blocked due to copyright claims.

Since I saw it when it streamed I know what was the problem: He was showing unedited footage of a formally live stage performance of Love Live!'s "Snow Halation"

He should've at least mirrored the video to hopefully bypass the copyright claim.

Tbh, Miles and Kamala makes sense as a ship more so than Miles and Gwen.

The only time they could have met was during Spider-Verse, and even then I'm not sure if they even talked to each other that much.

Someone on /r/Marvel also pointed out that Gwen also happens to be 19 and in college and Miles is 15 and in high school. Unless Bendis says that he turned 16 during the 8 month gap between Secret Wars and ANAD Marvel, then that would be ok... but 16 and 19 is still pushing it tbh.

Personally i dont even like the fact they brought gwen stacey back from the dead.I know its an alterante universe but it still bothers me.I dont mind the two just not my ideal ship for either of the two.Like i said Miles and Kamala have a lot more chemistry despite there limited screen time together

do not worry, the best part of the stream has been saved by my phonecam


also after reading Game & Watch info I now have the headcanon of Mr. Game & Watch having a Russian cousin based off the Elektronika-IM series (many games being based off Game & Watch titles) who takes the appearance of the spacemen from Space Bridge (much like how Mr. Game & Watch resembles the denizens from Fire) and drinks himself happy because of most of his Russian-made friends are just knockoffs of other products


do not steal

I remember the day PETA launched that Pokémon game (back in Generation V). People were so pissed off and I got to enjoy seeing the entire Pokémon community tear PETA a brand new ***hole.

Don't play it. It's cringe-ful, misses the entire point of Pokémon HARD, and it's a shameless plug-in to advertise anti-animal cruelty.

By just seeing the artwork it has, it is enough for me to not want to play it...

I agree.


Also having Spider-Gwen from an alternate universe being a thing does not mean she is back from the dead.

Just wait until October when we get the clone conspiracy/dead no more this October then we got the real Gwen Stacy back ;D
