Are people going to have to find a different man for Nintendo to hire now?

 

[Cutie Gwen]

DistantKingdom is gonna realize the game is good and then hate it because he no longer has material for the rest of the year.

Nah man he saw 15 year old in bare feet, he's gonna love it and weirdos will insist he is just arguing objective facts

 

[TheMightyP]

You know you're ****ed when Elon Musk and Randy Pitchford hate you

That's my CEO of the year

Are people going to have to find a different man for Nintendo to hire now?

Too late, Sega hired them for Frontiera

 

[Schnee117]

Yeah but there's people with skin darker than "pale as a ghost" so he'll hate it again

Please get this ***** out of the community.

On the bright side the replies and quotes are beating his ass so maybe there is hope.

I think I just had a stroke just trying to read that.

I think I just had a stroke just trying to read that.

It's what happens when you're terminally online.

 

[Yiptap]

Hold up, what DistantKingdom said was unironic?

 

[Wario Bros.]

I learned something. The GBA game Mario Bros. (the one that is bundled with the Super Mario Advance games and Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga) had a change in the Wii U Virtual Console ports- the palettes for the multiplayer Mario's were changed so that they match the playable Mii's clothes from New Super Mario Bros. U.

The only problem is Wii U Virtual Console doesn't have multiplayer support.

 

[TheMightyP]

Hold up, what DistantKingdom said was unironic?

Alright, so for some context for those lucky enough to not know, a couple years back DK caught flack for modding underaged girls to be barefoot and in skimpy swimwear. Around the same time, he also caught heat for his uh... interesting takes on pedophilia. People put two and two together and made a pretty logical conclusion about him from all that. Flash firward to this year, and now he's going full copium because his ass getting kicked on Twitter has lived rent free for all those years, and trying to orove that him modding wasn't weird at all if GameFreak did it (even though his reasonings were different than GF's).

So tldr, yeah. It was unironic. This man should not be allowed in the Pokemon community.

 

[Z25]

Hold up, what DistantKingdom said was unironic?

Yes, he’s very obviously a pedo and sick individual

 

[TheMightyP]

Tbh, that's just the tip of the DistantKingdom iceberg, but last time we discussed him like this we had a Smashboards moment.


Just know he is far from a good individual and I'm not saying this because he's critical of Pokemon.

 

[Deleted member]

It's what happens when you're terminally online.

Just looked through his twitter and... oof. At least he's getting blasted in most replies.

 

[Yiptap]

Not sure if anyone's posted this here yet, but...

The Cuphead Show trailer is out. It looks really good.
It keeps characters from the game while also introducing new characters. I would've liked if the animation looked more 30s-Cartoonish, but considering how hard it is to do that style of animation, I'm fine.

 

[MooMew64]

So, I guess now that Pokémon fans have no material, the next funny punching bag, YouTube video bait will be Sonic Frontiers later in the year.

But first, did you all know that Sonic had a rocky transition to 3D, and even kissed a human one time??? What was SEGA thinking!

[Catchphrase greeting] everyone! I'm [YouTuber] and today we'll be taking a look at Sonic games and why they're all bad. But first, here's a word from our sponsor, [Product you don't care about]!

 

[Shroob]

Sometimes I feel like I'm too cynical and old.


Cause I honest to god tend to find myself agreeing with the criticism more than not tbh.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I feel like this is a post TheMightyP would make if he had a Twitter

 

[MooMew64]

Criticism is good, it's the only way something can grow and learn.

What isn't good is people don't know what constructive criticism is, so it always devolves into an attack on an artist's character rather than trying to give any meaningful or helpful advice.

Because of this being the overwhelmingly popular mindset with things, we tend to get trapped in a never-ending cycle of negativity and toxicity where people just come out of it hating what they once loved.

 

[Yashichi]

whats up socialists

 

[MooMew64]

Anyways

After seeing the PLA leaks, I have determined that the starter I will pick is Typhlosion

Easily my most fav starter evo, my dude's just high as the clouds

 

[Pokelego999]

So as a first timer to this stuff, how does pre ordering a game digitally on Amazon work? Should I just wait till release for a digital download code?

TBH if you can, I'd just preload off of the Nintendo eShop.

It'll download the game and then unlock midnight of launch day.

I think issue is though, that there's the other end of the spectrum as well.



Take the current NSO issue for example. Go anywhere and you're going to see people defending it to high heaven and denounce anyone who has issues with the price/game selection/emulation issues as simply "Whining."


I can understand there being criticism for the sake of criticism, but the issue in my eyes is that there's also toxic positivity, where if you don't like what you're given then you're just whining and should shut up.

 

[Pokelego999]

So I should just buy an Eshop card and get it then? But if it unlocks midnight on launch day, that's at the end of the day.

 

[PLATINUM7]

Midnight launch day is the very first minute of the day.

Oh alright, it's that midnight then.

That's just as bad a problem too, TBH.

And the worst part is that 99% of the dumb drama that keeps happening in fandoms (especially in the last 5 years) always devolve into these two camps screaming bloody murder at each other and rehashing and repeating the same arguments over and over and over again.

Someone may be perfectly content with NSO, and they have the right to that opinion. Someone may be very disappointed with it and think it's a very poor showing, which is also valid.

But no one wants to just...Talk. Y'know, just share opinions. Contrasting thoughts on the things they enjoy and be open to one another's viewpoints.

It's always gotta end in an "I win" moment with these discussions and TBH that blows.

 

[Pokelego999]

So let me double check, I put the eshop money on the eshop, then I purchase the game, then it'll auto download when it comes out?

The only reason this happens is because people keep defending obviously bad desicions as if criticising said desicions is a personal attack or something.
Which starts off with the feeling that your talking to a brick wall and then of course escalates to the toxicity you describe.

I'll be 100% honest, i feel like toxic positivity is a MUCH bigger problem than toxic negativity, toxic negativity only comes around because the people in question feel their voices are being drowned outby people who are overly positive to the point of ignoring the very glaring flaws that appear in things.

 

[PLATINUM7]

So let me double check, I put the eshop money on the eshop, then I purchase the game, then it'll auto download when it comes out?

It will auto-download up to a week before release but will only become playable on release day.

Toxic Negativity, Toxic Positivity, I just want to grill for God sake.

what we grillin'

 

[TMNTSSB4]

to Pokémon people only…why do few of the underage trainers decide to stick around and actually grow up? I know the likes of Red and Leaf have stuck around…but like…does anybody else who started off as a kid actually stick around to waste their lives “borrowing” Pokémon?

 

[TheMightyP]

Skitty ribs.

 

[Deleted member]

I know I'm probably starting to get annoying, but man, Arceus is the most fun I've had with a Pokemon game in a long time, especially going after those Alpha Pokemon. I'm already theory crafting what my second team will look like, due to having an idea what Pokemon will be available when and where now.

 

[TheMightyP]

Also, I wanna set the record straight, I am not a SwSh shill. Without the DLC, it's average at best and mid at worst.

The DLC carry it from average to pretty good.

Well presumably most player characters just go off to parts unknown looking for new adventures if BW2 is anything to go by.

If you want to go to a different section of the Pokemon multiverse the manga treats the redesigns these characters get in their respective remakes as them coming back older, but those comics have way better continuity than the games and anime do (GS ball anyone?)

Just posting one of the best songs from Yakuza that isn't from Maijma/Kiryu/Ichiban or isn't Baka Mitai.

Hell Stew is one of the best songs for a name I've ever heard.
