I thought they were airing the presentation on Youtube what's this Youtune thing? Something music related?

In seriousness... there's a tag called pla? Is that short for Platinum? Also... "Go" and "Home" together sounds ominous...
PLA= Pokemon Legends Arceus
"Mobile Game segments"

Chat's gonna be fuuuuuuuuuun
At least we're not getting Unite news. Chat woukd go feral

Is it safe to say that Pokémon has surpassed Sonic as the most confrontational video game fandom in the gaming community? Because with how delicate of a topic it's become, it sure feels like it.
Ehhhhh in terms of turbulence and unhinged factor, Pokémon's probably tied with Paper Mario atm.

Sonic fans are just depressed and cranky atm. They don't really argue with each other, more just echo chamber how Sonic's in a supposed second dark age, Unleashed is the franchise's true golden standard that did no wrong and is a Hidden Gem™, and how the new game will suck no matter what. Ironically, you're probably gonna see less infighting, unless it's a Colors stans VS. Unleashed stans kerfuffle.

Can vouch for Paper Mario fanbase being awful it's a hellhole of elitists and apologists.

I don’t know where that mindset comes from but that’s actually illegal and VERY RARELY happens without scandals. This is more so that, like The Last Jedi (which is actually a good movie), did not meet the expectations of the fans while still being a good piece of media in itself.
I'd say you're on the money there. Critics probably had more of the mind to review it on its own merits whereas fans disliking were looking for something more familiar.

And then school comes along just to end it

Edit:
I haven't made it to Black Panther in the MCU yet, but after seeing him in Captain America Civil War I am sad that he is gone. His legacy shall continue to inspire many.
watching Black Panther is probably gonna make you feel more sad over the realization (but it’s an amazing movie, so definitely a recommendation)

Pokemon has had a rocky history since it made the jump to 3D

Maybe a spirit event with the sinnoh legends.
