Honestly, I haven't heard Pokemon Stadium 2 in a long while. I used to play it with friends, but it was only for the minigames.

 

[Guynamednelson]

One of the games at the gaming convention that has a tournament is Pokémon Stadium 2, but they didn't specify what way exactly.

Don't know if it's battle, if transfer pack games are allowed, or if it's just the minigames.

It's secretly SSBU in disguise. Everyone was going to play on Pokemon Stadium 2, might as well call it that.

Ultimate is already getting a tournament, with a pot prize of $750.

Alright 4th festivities are over, back to regular schedueled programming.

I think America SUCKS

 

[TheCJBrine]

Greetings my fellow ‘Muricans.

I hope you all had a happy Independence Day! Let us hope our country can improve, and hope we all have a bright future.

And for those outside the USA, I hope the same for you, and that you have had a great day regardless of whether it’s a holiday!

May you all be blessed with fireworks, hotdogs, burgers, beer…all that cool ‘Murica stuff.

I recommend not drinking beer though, it’s bad for your kidneys. Don’t let alcoholic beverages punch your kidneys, my dudes. Or do, I won’t stop you, not my kidneys afterall, maybe your kidneys deserved it after smack talking you, idk. Can kidneys do that? Probably not, but how am I supposed to know, I’m not a surgeon.

Im reminded again how much of a masterpiece this game's soundtrack truly was

IS gave Seth an alt, only for him to immediately have to compete against Xander and Dimitri who are brand new extremely tier units:

Special Heroes in stunning swimsuits are coming soon in the Special Heroes summoning event: Taken by the Tide! Also, 5★ Hero Seth: Silver-Sea Knight will appear as a Score Reward in the next Tempest Trials+ event! #FEHeroes #FireEmblem pic.twitter.com/sOrK5dE9fu

They still gotta do him dirty. The Nifil alt is funny though.

Looks like Lightyear is a certified box office flop

I believe it will do much better on Disney+ like Encanto did, but Encanto didn't flop that hard.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

T-That's impossible!

It can't be!

A Pixar film based on a movie that started it all that flopped!?

What has this world come to!? Pigs are starting to fly!

 

[TheMightyP]

If I had to take a swing, Lightyear flopped because of horrible timing. Prices are rising, and families are gonna be more conservative with their spending. Lightyear got sandwiched in between Jurrassic World, Top Gun, and Minions; all 3 of which recieved much better marketing, and Minions just seemed like the better family movie over all. Doesn't help that Disney+ exists and the last 3 Pixar movies are all there.

The Disney back then when they were at their finest though I love.

They're the same tho

Do you really need to act like that?

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Maybe in the animation department yes (Granted despite still making good Disney animated films, aren't as good as the ones back in the Golden Age, 90s and early 2000s).

As a company though no.

 

[TheMightyP]

As a company though no.

You're gonna have to elaborate on this one because they're the same company

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

The creative teams and the like working for Disney are usually pretty dope. It's the higher-ups I don't like.

...Same can be said for almost every company ever.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

As in back then Disney was a better company, not as corrupt and greedy as they are now absorbing everything they can into their mighty empire (Fox, Marvel, Star Wars, etc.).

Any companies they touch they tend to pretty much destroy in the process.

 

[SneakyLink]

On the topic of companies, Warner Bros Discovery pulled a bunch of content from HBO Max on July 1 with no warning.

This includes shows such as Final Space, Snowpiercer, and the Last O.G. along with a bunch of originals, including original films such as Superintelligence.

Point is that content creators are cool, it's usually the higher ups that aren't cool.

You're right, Disney was nowhere near as greedy back then don't look at their history on copyright laws

I sure hope Disney didn't have a CEO from the 80s to 2000s who was famous for making terrible decisions alongside doing some buyouts

 

[Jondolio]

Disney has always been a **** company, you were just too young to notice

 

[TheMightyP]

I sure hope there is no CEO from the 80s to 2000's who was famous for making terrible decisions alongside doing some buyouts

Could you imagine said CEO gave Disney control over a major news outlet?

 

[Schnee117]

I can excuse abusing copyright laws and overwriting them, ****ing over parks, buyouts, controlling major news outlets, having a stake in Florida politics because of theme park ****, performative representation and support of hateful policies (until they hurt the bottom line) but I draw the line at checks notes buyouts but bigger.

 

[Noipoi]

Love Disney films.

Hate the corporation.

Simple as.

Its a real shame tbh. But I do question several of Bob Chapek's decisions lately especially with how he decided to put some of Pixar's films on to Disney+.

I just hope he does not alienate the creative talent at Pixar even further because they can create good animated films.

In other news the reviews on Thor: Love and Thunder are out today and currently sits at 71% on Rotten Tomatoes at the moment.

 

[Jondolio]

All companies suck, the company this site is dedicated to is proof of that

 

[CannonStreak]

I am going to the dentist today. Hopefully, things go well.

It would also be hilarious if the same CEO approved a Disney built and ran city that was more of a creepy dystopian community than anything.
