Just got a shiny Inteleon nicknamed Pokegz.com from a surprise trade.

I have a gut feeling what I got was hacked.

They're always hacked if they have an advertisement nickname.


While I don't mind hacks normally, I hate ones like that.

Galyn Susman was the individual who saved ‘TOY STORY 2’ by having a copy of the film at home after someone accidentally ran a command that deleted 90% of the film from Pixar’s files.

damn Pixar

Before i read it complete, i thought that the UK Toy Story DVD with some minutes of swearing was found.
Anyways, i feel bad for the person who saved the movie of our childhood.

They won't let me put my Hoopa and Meloetta into S/V because I caught them in GO.

Yippee

I happen to have a main series Meloetta I can touch trade you in SV, but I'm unfortunately in the same boat when it comes to Hoopa.

Should I play PLA before ScarVio or does it make much of a difference?

They’re two fairly different experiences. I’d say go with PLA first, but it’s really up to you.

Different games entirely tbh.


ScarVio's a traditional Pokemon game with open world elements where PLA can sometimes be considered more an action game.



Though obviously, doing PLA will give you access to

A part of me wants to know the most popular Smash ballot characters by region.

Just thinking, because Sakurai said Banjo did super well, but something to note is that the N64 (and by consequence, Banjo) was really only popular in North America, which makes me wonder how other regions had him ranked as high. And I kinda want to see the breakdown of other characters.

Edit: maybe not just ballot but overall

The acting in that scene was crazy. That whole scene was tense, perfectly acted and such a huge “oh ****” moment for the ramifications of everything up to that point.

I 100% believe Goku actually won it. Sora's was top 1 for "negotiable and realizable characters" but if we take that out the equation, 100% Goku

I think I'll use the rest of my GameStop gift card to buy Pikmin 4.

Still need to beat 3 (and to a lesser extent, Hey!) though.

I've been on the Goku train since Day 1 of the Smash Ballot. Track my history. Y'all just ain't physically nor emotionally prepared to handle Goku reveal.

Goku would make a really fun fighter and fit well, if the Smash fan games I've played tell me anything.

But still don't have much expectations for it to be a reality.

Now that I think about it, it kind of is.

a remake of a GameCube game, a Warriors game that ended up on 2 better consoles, and the big game meant for them gets promoted and succeeds more on its younger sibling console. I guess a bright side is that they at least managed to keep some things to themselves (like Mario spin-off games nobody likes much of, and StarFox), but it’s still weird to realize how dry special Zelda content was for the system that couldn’t.

He mentioned that K. Rool was extremely popular on the ballot as well, and IIRC it might have also been said that the ballot had some influence on Bayonetta's inclusion in Smash 4 as well, but don't quote me on that one.

I don't think any other characters that are actually eligible were ever mentioned in regards to the ballot. Demand for Ridley was already extremely high and particularly vocal even before the ballot.

Are they beefing?
Or is it media illiterate manchildren getting mad that people are reading the subtext and themes of Gwen's arc and how they're depicted on screen?

 

[TheMightyP]

I mean Gwen straight up has a giant ass trans flag in her room and people read her arc as a trans allegory, canon or not it's not an illogical conclusion to make.

both yes and no

Beef due to how people are seeing her story’s subtexts, which can honestly work for a lot of things to comfort anybody (that doesn’t hate everything at the least)

I mean Gwen straight up has a giant ass trans flag in her room and people read her arc as a trans allegory, canon or not it's not an illogical conclusion to make.

Headcanons and having their own conclusions is never gonna be a problem, but I be seeing people getting mad at one another for saying “Gwen is trans” and “Gwen supports trans people”. Nothing as bad as death threats at least, but it’s odd since nobody bats an eye over picturing Peter as a gay man due to his Deadpool and Human Torch interactions. You’d think there wouldn’t be a problem with people liking the idea of a trans Gwen considering the amount of ideas had…tho Twitter I guess, so nvm

Well you have a triple whammy of painting a trans girl in a heroic light, while trans girls are demonized throughout media, and hardcore nerds hate anything LGBT. People will get mad no matter what.

[Z25]

I don’t really get how Gwen’s arc gives people the idea she’s trans, but some spoiler thoughts.

Spoiler

Everyone in her life is dead, even her dad essentially. She wanted somewhere to belong because the canon events literally made her life absolute hell. She was desperate for anyone who could relate or comfort her because she knew what fate awaited her. Which is why she stood by Miguel for most of the film.

she couldn’t open herself up because like MCU Peter, she was a murderer. Except unlike Peter, she had no one would support her and she couldn’t even confide the truth because no one would believe her.

The film ended with her realizing miles was the first person after everything she went through who genuinely tried to empathize with her and befriend her and that she made actual connections along the way who also wanted to be there for her.

She couldn’t connect to her dad because after Peter and her mother died they had nothing left to their relationship. It’s seemingly confirmed he devoted everything to hunting spider-woman hoping it would give give him closure. We don’t see how her mom dies in the film, but I’m betting Captain Stacey blames himself and Spider-woman for not saving his wife. That was my take away anyway. So of course Gwen wouldn’t want to reveal her identity. It’s the same canon series of events every spiderman goes through. Wanting to tell people their secret identity but knowing it will destroy their lives if their family or loved ones ever learn.

Being a teen, it’s natural she would react this way. I don’t see it as a trans allegory, but more of a heroes journey type of deal. All of them must walk alone or it will ruin what little joy they have left in their lives.

either way she’s an ally and that’s a W. I also could see their being a pretty big reason for her having the flag though:

Spoiler

Her Peter could have potentially been trans. The fact that the lizard serum looks like the goblin serum we see in media like spectacular Spider-Man, could imply this was a more hormonal transformation serum. Although I don’t remember the exact way the lizard one works in comics, other then it’s goal to allow new healing factors.

It would explain Peter’s bullying, lack of confidence, the flag in Gwen’s room, and why he would feel the need to bulk up and get revenge on Ned. Because I doubt the goal was for him to become a lizard. Also I don’t know if we see anyone as Gwen’s date at the prom, but perhaps she didn’t have the courage to ask peter and this furthered his choice.
