i think Digimon largely does its own thing, has its own appeal that doesn't try to copy off anything

Pretty much, Digimon pretty much has its own little place that it's built up over the years and plays to that audience to carve its own niche. It does try to get new people into the franchise, such as Appmon and the new Ghost Game anime, but ultimately the older audience is what its focus tends to be on.

I remember a friend streamed an episode of some "newer" Digimon anime awhile back.


It definitely felt like it was a very "For kids" show, what with the bright colors and simple designs.


And then the camera did a close up of Mervamon's regions.

To be fair, Mervamon (and that entire period she was attached to) was horny even by Digimon standards. You had seasons play up other female Digimon, but I don't think the animators went an episode without at least ten shots of Mervamon's... features, and other female Digimon (and even human characters) didn't fare much better that season.

It's kind of funny looking back though as the very next season was far tamer about it and even the TCG calmed down after about a year, so it seems like whatever audience they were trying to catch weren't biting.

i will never recover from this

By the way, I just finished what's out of Owl House. The first season was good, but the second season is amazing. Kind of weird that Season 2 has basically zero filler so far, but I'm really loving see the characters develop.

I really enjoyed this season can’t wait to get more bits it’s nice to have amphibia while we have to wait

All of this could've been avoided if they just added Hugh.

All of this could have been avoided if they just added XJ9/Jenny Wakeman.

So uhhh.....[LEAKS/RUMOURS] apparently Netherrealm is gonna do a Warner Bros. Smash clone....or at least a crossover fighter involving Warner Bros characters.

Shaggy, Tom and Jerry, Batman, Fred Flinstone, Johnny Bravo and Gandalf are amoung the fighters

This could be where we get Ultra Instinct Shaggy vs Mortal Kombat.

Spoiler: Relates to the rumor

According to the original post, the Ultra Instinct Shaggy memes are what led to the creation of this game.
No seriously.
Also with it being a Warner crossover and them having a ton of assets, I think it’s safe to say all bets are off regarding trying to determine who should and shouldn’t be in bar one or two exceptions (and even then the exceptions could go the other way).

According to Jeff Grubs, the game is not developed by Nether realms but is real.

Get ready for Shaggy to take the entire Clockwork Orange group on at once.

 

[TheMightyP]

Wait, that means Micheal Jordan and LeBron James can be in the game for Space Jam representation.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

I know nothing about Warner bros as a whole, just whatever was put on Cartoon Network.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

I get the feeling that, for me, Pokémon games still bring the hype even though I could definitely do with more being added.

I don’t know what it is. I have plenty of nostalgia for Hoenn and Sinnoh, and Unova was a part of my senior year in High School. But what I really love looking back on is X/Y hype while starting at my first job or Sun & Moon time investment during Thanksgiving or Christmas breaks.

I think it’s just the usual Pokémon gameplay that I enjoy, despite still wanting…more.

One thing I’ve accepted, and it’s not as if I feel I’m admitting defeat, is that Pokémon is mainly targeted at kiddos. While I am a kiddo at heart with these things, I do have desires that are like those of somebody waiting for Elder Scrolls 6- I would LOVE long term side quests that result in a legendary battle. Or more things like the Delta Episode of OR/AS.

But that’s why I’m excited to see Arceus moving at least slightly in that sort of direction, even if it’s closer to Monster Hunter which is still a good model in my humble opinion.

That said, having seen some of the discourse in Pokémon communities…I completely understand the issues people have with newer games, and I think those issues are valid given that high expectations SHOULD be involved when talking about things we love. However, where I disagree and kinda back away, slowly, is the overall impact folks think internet complaints have on what the end result is. At the end of the day, people enjoy Pokémon for the base gameplay of it. I am one of those people who is caught in the middle. I’m all for advocating for things, but I think the presentation of arguments from fans online comes across as whining rather than problem solving, which is where the topic is lost on folks, even if I try to listen to what’s being said.

I suspect Arceus is going to be experimental in augmenting Monster Hunter world/environment interaction. But once that gets figured out, my imagination runs wild with what we could see if, say, we had something more traditional Pokémon with the environments of Monster Hunter in between towns and routes.

That’s a recipe for redefining the series. It just might take longer than we’d like.

Speaking of Amphibia, I adored the latest episodes.
I can't believe they dropped a hecking Mosasaur on my boy.

 

[SuperSonicFlyer]

Did anyone share this?

Sonic Rangers sounds really promising is this is all true!

His comments on it being a mindless button masher and having simplistic level design in the demo doesn't have me feeling very optimistic about it at the moment.

Oh God, Sonic Forces 2.

Please no.

 

[Lamperouge]

Oh God, Sonic Forces 2.

Please no.

Surely they wouldn't make the same mistakes again, right?

...Right?

Who am I kidding. This is Sonic Team we're talking about, of course they would.

 

[SuperSonicFlyer]

Oh God, Sonic Forces 2.

Please no.

I think that is just the combat system, and even that may change. I don't think everything else is button mashing. Plus, the game is said to be nothing like Sonic Forces.

 

[TheMightyP]

If Sonic 2022 is bad, then we went through a whole decade straight where all Sonic Team pumped out was ass after ass.


Why am I still a fan of this dog**** franchise

 

[Hadokeyblade]

They wouldnt.

They would make a mistake that's different but just as bad somehow.

I've learned to never take most second-hand accounts of a sonic game at face value. Everyone has different preferences. Especially in this case where we haven't seen the game in action at all.

because I actually thought Forces was pretty decent but everyone acts like it's the spawn of satan for some reason when it's pretty inoffensive.

Yeah, it is strange. I mean, Forces was not that bad. Not perfect, maybe not the best, but not so bad, in my opinion.

The bigger issue with Forces is more in the fact that it was just a breaking point in the fandom. We just got fed up with mediocrity after mediocrity, but even then it's not like the game was not satans ballsack levels of bad... it was just... meh to most.

But I'm glad you got enjoyment out of it

 

[Noipoi]

Sonic 2022 sucks

But Zavok’s not in it

 

[Hadokeyblade]

Equivalent exchange.

But even if Sonic 2022 is bad, I'm probably gonna get it anyways, because Sega has me on a leash

 

[Lamperouge]

I believe Forces received (and deserves) its reputation because it released after Mania and basically undid the good will that game created for the series after years of mediocre/abysmal titles.

Not only that, but it was a huge step down in quality from the previous boost games, and that really hurt to see since Generations did such a great job in polishing the formula.

 

[SuperSonicFlyer]

Did anyone aside from that one user actually watch the video I posted, despite it being 15 minutes long?

It doesn't sound as bad as that same one user is making it out to be.

If Forces was good, people would finally stop the "Sonic had a rocky transition into 3D" narrative, but it wasn't so please **** on Forces all you want
