Anyway, since I was impatient, think I’ll quote it just in case it got missed:

So I’m still trying to finish this part, but I figured I’d share the progress I got on my writing for the Sonic Clash story mode. Pretty much everything into them inside the Warp Zone has been edited and added onto, so feel free to skip to that part.

Sonic Clash: Sonic’s Story Part 1

Setting: a massive stadium filled with a large cheering audience. Announcer: “WELCOME TO THE CENTRAL CITY FIGHTERS GRAND TOURNAMENT! MEET OUR FIRST CONTENDER: SONIC!” (Cut to Cream, Vector, Charmy, Big, Shadow and Omega are sitting in the audience) Cream: “Do your best Mr. Sonic!” Vector: “Kn...

Okay you know what? Niantic can suck my ****. I'm ****ing done giving them chances.

About ready to say the same to TPC.

This entire ordeal is dog****.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Oh, what'd Niantic do? I want the juice.

Serebii Update: Niantic have announced a new Ticketed Event for Tainan, Kyoto, Auckland and Busan on November 22nd. Walk around a city to complete AR Mapping tasks with various Timed and Special Research. Details @ https://t.co/gDbXkHSvkT pic.twitter.com/2rdAm2Pq6M

A ticketed event in a ****ing city in a pandemic. Yup. Done.

 

[Z25]

"Starting with level 40 players"

**** off Niantic.

they only do this because of server overload. As long as it’s stable, you’ll be able to transfer within the next day or so most likely.

I haven't played in years, is lvl 40 still the max?

Yes but it’s going to be changed soon to 50 with you needing things other than XP to reach it

 

[Wario Bros.]

Still odd it took nearly 24 hours after the patch announcement to provide a correction like that.

They did this with GO Fest and it was fine. You would get like 20 spawns no matter where you where and got a lot of benefits with it too. Server had some issues but it was not to bad otherwise.

Granted this is different but I don’t know how well they are doing in the pandemic .

 

[Aetheri]

Hadn't even thought people still played or even cared about Go....then again I do see the occasional Team Valor/Instinct/Mystic logos on the back of some vehicles every now and then...

Anyways don't mind me, just eating an oversized bowl of veggies and listening to Mastodon.

The game has made its most money ever during the pandemic. It’s taking millions in every month and that keeps going up.

I used to be pretty diehard about it but once the crappy battle system came out I dropped it fast, mostly because the game was just slow and boring to me. That would have been... my last year of middle school, I think?

Thinking of rhe fact that you have to pay to transfer from Go to Home, and there's virtually no reason why considering that Let's Go and SwSh transfering are free of charge

 

[KillerCage]

I just worked 11 hours straight.

Ask me anything.

What would you sacrifice to the door gods?

Are you willing to go to sleep?

 

[Aurane]

I can't be rational. I don't wanna weigh the goods and the bad. This is all dog****, and everyone knows it. I'm just beating a dead horse by being mad at it.

I'm just going to uninstall it and be done. **** my Shiny Groudon. I can get another one in a bette ball.

Because Pokemon kinda sucks right now.

All these small issues add up to bigger problems when stacked together.

For the first time, I'm glad you're ****ting on them. Thank you.

I'm going to bed.

What about Pterodactyl, Triceratops , Sabertooth Tiger and Tyrannosaurs?

 

[Aetheri]

What about Pterodactyl, Triceratops , Sabertooth Tiger and Tyrannosaurs?

Well there is Megalodon?

 

[CannonStreak]

Well there is Megalodon?

I was actually making a joke, and a reference. Points to those who get the reference.

 

[TheCJBrine]

Seems the Pokémon GO transfer is at least free every week?

Still sucky, but is okay in my personal opinion. I don't really play GO though since I don't really go outside to do stuff much, so I really only have a Charmander and maybe one other Pokémon I could transfer anyway...

 

[Wademan94]

Well there is Megalodon?

Go Go Power Sharkbites!

If it has anything to do with Power Rangers I haven't seen that show since I was a toddler, barely able to know my own arse from me elbow!

It does, actually.

Sorry, but I had to make that reference.

goes back to my oversized bowl of veggies with Tool now playing on my playlist

SwSh are still good games. Okay? They were fun, and were worth the price. I will never drop from that hill. You say what you will, but I personally enjoyed the 200+ hours I poured into it.

But these recent developments, as Hadookey over there said, have all been small incidents, but there's been so god damn many. This has got to stop. TPC needs a kick in the ass and Niantic needs to just **** off.

I already witnessed one of my favorite series do this ****. Not wanting to see another one so soon.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

Speaking of power rangers.

I find it incredibly surreal that Taiko drum master kept the super sentai themes in its western release.
Usually the companies that own Power rangers like to pretend that Sentai doesn't exist.

It's pretty cool yet kinda sad that this is the only Lupinrangers content the west has.

Don't even get me started with the whole Pokemon thing going on these days.

I don't want to, because I'm already ****ing sick of talking about it.

SO ANYWAYS REMASTERED SAM AND MAX SAVE THE WORLD, GUYS!

 

[Z25]

I’ve played GO since Launch and I only play an hour or so a day so the bad parts don’t really get to me because I play it so casually. Still it deserves to get fixed to make it more enjoyable for the hard core audience and the casual one that doesn’t like how things get handled.

 

[Hat N' Clogs]

What would you sacrifice to the door gods?

What are those?

Are you willing to go to sleep?

Not yet. I need to drink some tea and pop my melatonin first.

Go!s success mught have been the worst thing to happen to the series in hindsight.

Exaggeration? Yeah.

Maybe.

Go not being played by a billion people wouldn't have stopped the mainline games from being better off with 4 year long gaps between gens instead of 3.

Maybe, but it could have stopped TPCI from monetizing **** that doesn't even need to be monetized since Go!s monetizing plan was a success

 

[Hadokeyblade]

I think it's more that Gamefreak doesn't have to try to make a good game when the mobile releases (which started with go) make more money than the main games ever will.

 

[Guynamednelson]

I think it's more that Gamefreak doesn't have to try to make a good game when the mobile releases (which started with go) make more money than the main games ever will.

The video games have never been the main money maker. Doesn't mean they didn't try for at least 5 gens to make good ones.

 

[Aetheri]

I'm hardpressed to disagree with the exaggeration. Remember Go spawned a second set of Kanto remakes, which are somehow more polished games than the following mainline entries to the series.

Admittedly I haven't played either pair of mainline Switch Pokemon games.

But I swear there's more background variety in Let's Go's battles than in Sword and Shield's.
