Oh yeah, on a serious note:

The Creator DLC program Gears for Breakfast has started is incredible, and it alongside things like the Minecraft Marketplace absolutely should become the standard in the future. Talented creators who have a passion for the game and game design absolutely should be consulted for adding their high quality creations into basegame, and letting them have a chance to actually earn money from it too is awesome. I hope to see this come to more games in the future, as this is the kind of environment user created content should be getting IMO.

...That said, I respect those who don't want such a scene with their product (and no one should be forced to do something), but in an ideal world, I sincerely would want this kind of system for...Well, honestly everything, lol.

Krillin was constantly **** on, but he kept his head up. In the end his was rewarded with a badass wife and a beautiful daughter. And hair.

Keep your heads up, short kings.
So my reaction to he having hair is the opposite of this:

As for why fans like Vegeta, it's because of his whole arc plus he's badass, it's not a wonder why people like him. And before you say he killed a lot, damn near every character has a pretty big kill count. Piccolo is in the exact same boat as Vegeta and yet he remains amongst one of the most popular characters.
Also, people are allowed to like characters that do questionable to bad to awful things, redemption arcs or not.

One thing I find fascinating about the original Diamond & Pearl is that, in one of the leaked prototypes, Giratina was so different in the beta (it even had a different name: Kimairan)

Honestly this looks more like a beta Landorus T then Giratina. I wonder if it led to that design in Gen 5.

Most of the time, not really, but a lot of placements tend to be based off when you first can obtain them in their home games. Some mons also have specific placements, with pseudo legendaries always being directly before the legendaries (excluding Dratini and Larvitar's lines) and Legendaries are always at the end, with mythicals following them. There are some exceptions of course.

Thanks to Rie Sonomura Rie Sonomura for the tip. Was planning on using it next year for streaming, I had no idea.

It apparently goes deeper, too. They did a lotta wack stuff.
I am... only now finding out that Streamlabs is not an OBS subsidiary. :drshrug:

Update: Cynthia defeated

Granted, I didn't have the most balanced team, but man, I forgot how much of a pain she can be. Which is weird because I played Platinum not too long ago and barely remember anything. Though looking at her teams, Platinum actually nerfed her quite a bit, so that might be why.

Vegeta is a better dad than Goku.
This I can definitely agree on.

Goku's an awful father. Seems he'd much rather just fight then spend time with his family.

Also why Yusuke is best Shonen protagonist.

Yusuke: My job's done. Who cares about being the strongest. I don't want to be without Keiko.

Meanwhile...

Goku: Bye Chi-chi. The world's saved but I'm going to go train and keep getting stronger. Thanks for putting up with this for our whole marriage.

Surprised nobody mentioned Gohan.

He has Videl, is one of the strongest people in the universe, is a great dad, a hard working scholar, to top it all off, is the mother****ing GREAT SAIYAMAN
nobody else mentioned Gohan due to his perfection of a character that he is…totally not being biased or anything
No, but Krillin is actually my favorute character for a reason. Man is beyond outclassed since Z, and yet, he still shows up to every fight and is still throws hands if things go south
mans the only human that the aliens, androids, gods, and Roshi ever rely on

Tien has legit become useless at this point and Yamcha…oh boy…

in a gamey perspective? yeah, it's more or less the oreder you find them in the game.

In universe? 100% arbitrary. The national dex is all kinds of ****ed up when you think about it. Why is every pokemon in the Electabuzz line in a completely different part of the Pokedex? What about the Regis? Why do newly created pokemon like Type Null and obscure ones like kartana go before well documented ones like corviknight? Why do Kanto pokemon appear first? who did bulbasaur pay to be number one?

Don't forget that Skiddo was apparently one of the first Pokemon to be domesticated.

So why is it so far in the Pokedex?
This is giving me the idea to order Pokemon based off logic like this.

I hope that once we get more content from Dragon Ball Super they lean more into the idea that the epilogue of Z and some of GT's backstory implies where Goku actually spent time with Pan.

We got exactly one scene of that in Super with him watching Baby Pan and it was one of my favorite moments from Super.

Gohan's really just that dude!

That said I think people overstate how bad of a father Goku is. He's a dumbass, but he's been shown to really care about his kids. Again, he's just really stupid.

Honestly, irl, the Pokédex would probably be inconsistent all across the world. People on different continents would discover new Pokémon at different times. That, or it would be like how we base our time zones off of London time. The first people to start categorizing (or the region with the most international influence) would put their local creatures first.

Goku's biggest issue is that he's really confident in his kids, and that's not a bad trait, but against big bads, it's kinda an issue. He assumes all will go well, but he doesn't take into account if it didn't. That's what happened with Gohan and Cell, and that's what happened with Goten and Buu

Henceforth, he's a dumbass.

Sorry, but I had to.
