Finally watched some post-2nd movie episodes of Spongebob, definitely has a different flavor; less gross factor, more fluid animation etc.
Seasons 1-3 is still on its own godtier, but this is way better than than seasons 4-5 imo.

I was going to watch more episodes, but then the ****ing cable lost signal again.

Yeah, I heard seasons 9 and 10 were improvements, and also that the original creator came back to the series. I've seen some of the episodes, they were funny sometimes.

Rock Bottom also made a reappearance in one of the newest episodes.

Oh. Got itt, Gen 5 was unova.

Here's a (probably not) easy way to remember them all in order:

Gen 1: Whiny nostalgia goggles fandom Japan
Gen 2: 2-in-1 expansion pack Japan
Gen 3: Water Japan
Gen 4: Coolest Japan
Gen 5: New York
Gen 6: France
Gen 7: Hawaii

I have now thus summed up all seven generations in one go. Or you can just remember the last three by "not Japan" and remember the specifics from there.

 

[Aurane]

I can't believe it's not butter

I can't believe people still eat that ****.

 

[Kirby Dragons]

In terms of starters, Gen 4 > 3 > 1 = 2 = 6 > 5 > 7.

 

[Tikivoy]

Username revert today after watching that FE Warriors trailer cause CHROM IS BACK.
And avy change because Spring still hasn't ended while Bunny Chrom is on my main Heroes team. "Spring has sprung" is probably my favorite Chrom quote at this point.

 

[allison]

Ugh, I can't believe Steven Moffat the 34th ruined the Zelda show by having some secret sister appear.

This sentence is the most terrifying piece of speculative fiction I've ever read.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

4 > 1 = 3 > 6 = 2 = 7 > - 5

Some of them are close though

With gen 5 being WAY behind

Although Blastoise is still my favorite pokemon overall. There is just something about Gen 4 starters as a whole I felt good choosing any of them

4 I like all starters
1 I like all starters
3 I like all starters

6 I like 2 starters and think 1 is the ugliest I've ever seen
2 I like 2 starters and think Meganium is usless crap
7 Is kind of complicated. I don't really hate any of the starters but am not fond of Primarina and am still a little disappointed in Incineroar for some reason

Gen 5 I can stand the starters but didn't care for them. Serperior sucked in gen 5, emboar sucks in general but was literally the best starter to use in game for gen 5, and Samurott is ok but kind of generic

Is it allowed to trade in old ass ganecube games?

Today is a cursed day when I'm now an uncle.

Well ****.

You talked with him at least?

He's going to need a lot of advice regarding his future.

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

You talked with him at least?

He's going to need a lot of advice regarding his future.

Already did.

He has some idea of what he wants to do (like college), then shrugged me off for asking too many questions.

As long as he's going to raise that baby well and his girl. He should have more ideas of who can help him.

 

[Opossum]

Generation II probably had my least favorite starters over all. Typhlosion I liked, but not as much as my preferred starter of any other generation, and I'm not too big of a fan of Feraligatr or Meganium.

Sinnoh probably had my favorite starters over all, since it's the only one where I can say I outright love all three.

 

[ChikoLad]

Today is a cursed day when I'm now an uncle.

Well ****.

But are you an uncle grandpa?

(But seriously, congrats)

 

[AmericanDJ]

TIL that Crash N.Sane Trilogy is hard to find.
Or at least it is where I live.
On the bright side, my local Gamestop is getting shipments tonight, and if they don't have any physical copies, I can still get a download code.
Either way, I can still wait a while to play it.

 

[Robertman2]

Is it allowed to trade in old *** ganecube games?

Yes. At least you aren't trading in 10 copies of Battleborn like I did today

I went digital baby!

In the ongoing war of Me vs Cable:
I got pissed and I ended twisting and biting the cord.

The bad: jaw feels weird.
The good: it actually worked to recover some channels lol.

Frankly this isn't a reaction any more preferable than that of "genwunners".

 

[praline]

It's like people are actively ignoring that Lissa, Frederick and Robin were revealed for FEW so they can still complain about only sword users being playable.

low-key praying that all the royals from Fates make it in :'^)

Even with those three the FE:W roster seems a lot less interesting than the HW roster imo.

I'm sure the game will be fun but the roster seems rather bland and predictable so far. They've clearly gone the route of promotion hindering potential for variety.

This is just my opinion, but as it stands now I'm underwhelmed.

I shouldn't be congratulated yet.

That brother of mines just need to be there to support his baby at least.

No way the FEW roster is more interesting cause they're characters I actually care about!

Its fate (no pun intended) was kind of sealed when they said they'd only focus on Shadow Dragon, Fates and Awakening. It's nto really a bad thing, but it makes the roster a bit predictable. I saw all of these new characters coming from two miles away.

Could you explain how promotion hinders the potential for variety? The three games have a lot of different class characters in them. For example, just from the 10 royals in Fates we have a foot lance who is also a singer, a Pegasus Knight, a Wyvern Rider (with tomes), a mounted swordsman, infantry swordsman, a manakete swordsman, an archer, a mounted cleric/mage, a mounted dark mage (Leo uses dark, right????) and a cleric archer. That's diversity right there.

I will admit I am confused as to how they'll make Marth, Chrom, and Lucina all different from each other though.

I'm cool with this cause it has my 3 waifus.

I still am pretty sure Ike and Roy will be in since they said the game will have amiibo support.

Hey they made 4 Links work in Hyrule Warriors.

See, this is why I'm less fussed about FE Warriors than everyone else.

The three games covered are the only games in the series I've actually tried, haha. And I've never played any of the Zelda games covered in Hyrule Warriors, either, so FE Warriors has a one-up over that in terms of connecting to me as well.

I mean yeah I'd love it if I got Yarne or Hayato or Bantu or some other character obscure enough in their respective games that I could cry, but I'm not nearly as messed over as nearly everyone else seems to be.

Oh, and FE Warriors has reclassing IIRC as well. That should spice up the diversity further if the initial push isn't quite enough on it's own.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Zelda just has more colorful characters than Fire Emblem in general

Even if they went through all of Fire Emblem's history there isn't really of a chance to beat Zelda on that

I think what N3ON meant was promotion in the sense of advertisement.

As in, using primarily 3DS titles + Shadow Dragon instead of the series in general would hinder the variety in the roster.

 

[praline]

Either way I expect many mentions when Tharja gets confirmed.

Not necessarily.

Zelda's characters are just more defined by simple charm and specific abilities (usually related to an element like Wind or Earth). The series is also just more well known so its easier to please people.

Fire Emblem characters (sometimes) have more of a background to them and their personalities are usually a bit more in depth than Zelda. Their abilities don't define them as much as Zelda characters though because class changing exists.

 

[praline]

Now it'd probably be just me but if Charlotte was confirmed that'd be hype as hell.

I don't see how their background is going to change how interesting they are to look at

I just want Niles but we all know the archer will be Takumi

 

[Coricus]

Honestly using main characters instead of side characters tanks it a lot harder than not using characters from other games. They had a valid point about characters from other games creating too many sword users, it's just they then undermined it by giving all of their OCs swords as well.

Oh look, there's Ike, with a sword!
Look at Lyndis, with that beautiful sword! Mmmm, such variety!
And look at Roy! HIS sword has T3H F1Y4H!
Hey, you know who we should add? Alm, because of that beautiful sword! Oh, and let's not forget Celica! Swordy, swordy, sword!

Hector and Ephraim are like two exceptions in a sea of fencing, and even then Lyndis is more popular than they are.

 

[praline]

Yeah it's no doubt gonna be Takumi. While I'm not a fan of Niles I'd definitely take him over Taco Meat.

I imagine all the wilder characters will come from Marth's game.

Well beside Marth and Caeda who are both guaranteed.

 

[A Distant Demon]

I thought this was about Marvel's Cable and got really confused

Hey, at least the Possession Pineapple will produce a perfectly proficient punching bag!

Stellar alliteration there buddy.

What would happen if I bite him too?

You'd be dead before you even got close

Yeah, Ike and Roy need their swords because plot.

But Lyndis can use bows in tandem with her sword, Alm can use axes and Celica can use magic. Then look at some of the other main characters: Leif can use bows and staves, Ephraim is a lance user and can be mounted, same for Sigurd being mounted and able to use axes, Micaiah is a mage and Eliwood has Durandal which while another sword it's a bigger one than normal.

What I do agree with is that pulling characters from all the series for the base roster could potentially mean using ALL the main characters (or at least most of them) which, if the roster is gonna be modestly sized, could pose problems for secondary characters down the line getting shafted.
