Which Pokemon character would most likely read Homestuck?
Penny is the first one that comes to mind. I'm conflicted between her being really into it or reading it ironically, but she's read at least some of it nonetheless.
But that's also kind of a boring answer, so outside of her I'd say...maybe Shaunna? I could see her blabbing all about it to her friends excitedly, leaving them confused bc she may as well be speaking gibberish.
I also think that Bianca and Rui (the companion from Colosseum) would stumble upon it, but wouldn't really understand anything.

what are the things you love and hate about all of the pokemon games you played?
Well now I can say I have played gens six and seven, but I haven't finished them yet so I'm just gonna post down what I like abt em so far hahah
I'm also adding the spin offs bc they're also pkmn games
Anyways under the cut hahah
Red/Blue/Yellow - honestly... I just liked that Pikachu can follow us on Yellow, wish they kept that feature all throughout each games, it only came back on HGSS, SwSh, BDSP, and ScVi. Also the fact I can get all three starters hahah
Starting from gen one
Crystal - Kris supremacy, the highlight of it really, also really dope we can visit another region post game
TCG for the GBC - it's fun, made me understand the card game a bit better back then hahah
Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald - HOENN SUPREMACY ough this is home in game form fr, this and BW/BW2, but more on this really hahaha it's cool the contests are cool actually, love the starters, they're the first starter trio where I liked all of them, love the characters, I love my son Wally so much, May/Brendan too, Wallace the true Hoenn Champion in my heart (Emerald bias), the best roster of mons, I could go on really
FireRed/LeafGreen - I mean.. idk. It's an improved version of gen one I'll tell you that but yeah
Platinum - Torterra, Garchomp, Riolu, and the contests (yes I liked the contests here too, the contests here low-key better than in gen 3 ngl)
HeartGold - love the pkmn following feature for real, it's so cute, it's dope, wish they added that in gen five hcnxnx
PMD Red/Blue Rescue Team - Red Rescue Team was my intro to pmd, fucked me up so much I had to use the HP cheat lmfaoooo but it's fun tho hahaha
PMD Explorers of Sky - changed me as a person, really dope, the characters are cool, I just hated Chatot at the start lmfao, but dude this game is so fuckin dope pls cndmdn the way Hero and Partner are so soft and I love how they're still together even post game they mean so much to me your honour🥹
White - my absolute beloved omfsssss everything's so cool okay everything abt it is so cool, love the characters man and the story too, dyou know how cool it was seeing all the Gym Leaders interact and fight Team Plasma, dude that blew my mind back then lmfaooo also c'mon the Tao Trio? You mean the greatest Legendary trio? Hahaha
Black 2 - same w White, it's so cool, everything's so fucking dope, plus PWT
Conquest - I like the art style lmfao
X - Diantha my beloved, also the pokemon petting thing I'm just sad it's a bit lag on my emulator but still I really love this feature hahaha
Ultra Sun - the starters, and the pokemon petting thing again hahah
Omega Ruby - look you already know how much I love Hoenn, plus this has mega evolution and it has the dexnav! Also the pokemon petting thing ofc lmfao also also love how they improved Magma and Aqua really idk I just cnmdnd god ORAS Team Magma and Aqua my beloveds jcdmdn
PMD Gates to Infinity - look I just know that Hydreigon isn't really the big bad guy okay and I'm so happy abt that bc it's usually the Dark/Ghost types that are villains in these games so it's a nice change that Hydreigon isn't a villain
Super Mystery Dungeon - man the scene from the start w Nuzleaf looking at the hero and the hero was giving him puppy eyes killed me okay it lives in my head rent free and I wanna draw smth abt it
Unite - ah yes, the moba game, anyways it's dope if you're winning lmfaooo also it's dope Gengar's there they should buff him actually, I think Hex and Sludge Bomb deserve buffs
TCG online/live - the online one was dope, I still miss my Zamazenta deck to this day
Masters EX - the lore chdmdnd they should add more Diantha lore please I am begging😭
Cafe Remix - it's cute, I love the art style of it hahah
-
Now for my gripes for all these lmfaooo
Red/Blue/Yellow - it's boring as hell. I don't like the fans of this one too, most just couldn't accept that people like the newer gens and they always shit on people if they don't like gen one
Crystal - other than not being able to get Mareep, nothing much, they do have a point w the level scaling tho
TCG for GBC - I mean tbf I understand why it's not mentioned much there's not much to it but it's still fun for killing time
Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald - how back breaking it was finding Feebas I honestly gave up, also what the fuck was that Regis mission man💀
FireRed/LeafGreen - same w RBY
Platinum - it wasn't a fun experience for me, it's slow as shit, and I'm pretty fucking sure majority of the people who like this game only likes Cynthia. Fr, no hate on Cynthia, she's a dope character, but she's like the Charizard of the pkmn characs really, she gets everything and is everywhere, how abt giving a chance to other Champions
HeartGold - a bit slow, but not DPPt slow at least, also again w the level scaling
PMD Red/Blue Rescue Team - this would've been so so dope if it weren't for the fact that after the story, Hero and Partner became nothing but normal recruits. Like all that buildup of Hero wanting to stay for Partner, and suddenly they're just like normal recruits, it sucks
PMD Explorers of Sky - Aegis Cave
White - idk but for me it's hard to level up in this game, also the fact the E4 didn't do much on screen, like I wanna know what they did during Plasma's attack
Black 2 - it's,, well it's how the previous characters interacted really, I wish there was more of it, I wanted to see the Gym Leaders interact w each other during the games, pls I wanted to see Bianca and Iris meeting at Castelia bc I know they met up there again please I just know it
Conquest - I think it's a skill issue on my bit but the gameplay was just so confusing for this one, and no I don't mean the battle gameplay, that I got, more on the,, recruiting bit and using of items and everything else—
X - I can't say it's easy just yet bc I really haven't made much progress so hey, for now I'm gonna say at how fucking long it takes when you get an item like dude why does it take so fucking long💀 also the lack of Diantha scenes, she deserves more, honestly she deserves so much better
Ultra Sun - have not finished this so no solid judgement but for now Imma say it's how tedious it is levelling up your mons and idk if it's a skill issue on my bit but like,,, do they really give off such a small amount of exp?? Idk, granted, my pkmn was a bit over levelled hahah
Omega Ruby - Granite Cave man I can't get Aron early on now ncmxnx
PMD Gates to Infinity - again, haven't progressed much so I don't really have a solid judgement for this
Super Mystery Dungeon - same w GTI
Unite - the abysmal matchmaking, the fact that ftp players don't have a way to get gems even if it's through events or missions, the devs thinking gem locking pkmn was a grand fucking idea, the way they can't balance their mons some are just too squishy and some are still strong despite the nerfs, also have I mentioned the matchmaking? Dude fr standard is either full of bots or I get matched w players who don't even know the objectives even if I'm telling them where to gather chxmxn
TCG online/live - live was honestly so so shit and a lot of players agree like even the cards aren't balanced Jesus Christ also it's lag as shit you can't even do anything most of the time and suddenly you lose also fun fact this game almost broke my fucking phone I almost couldn't exit the game and I had to forcefully reset my phone to save it lmfao
Masters EX - I haven't played this much yet for a solid judgement too but damn is the download time for this is slow as shit and fucking crashed on my tab. Also the lack of Diantha lore, pls they should add more abt Diantha she deserves it
Cafe Remix - idk ig it's the fact I'm broke and can't afford stuff in this game bc almost everything needs real money to get, I really thought this was an offline game at first hahah

Okay so Fire Emblem anon here!! Here's a Kinda Super Long Bc I Got Carried Away description of a few Fire Emblem games, plus some characters that seem like they hit tropes you like!
The good news is that there's not a super huge overarching timeline, there's several smaller timelines that are seperate from one another except for the crossover games. I'm gonna go with describing the newer ones that you're most likely to be able to get your hands on and play; a lot of people complain that they lean into some anime-tropey stuff and are too easy, but tbh, that's a perk just as often as it isn't. Basically, it's Game of Thrones, but rated T and with more cute girls and old men who are friendly instead of creepy.
Tbh, it's a turn-based strategy game with visual novel elements for characterization, if strategy games aren't your thing and you're just interested in the characters, watching the support conversations on Youtube might be more your thing. All the characterization, none of the resetting the same goshdang level thirty times. Anyways, description of the games in passing, including a brief description of the plot concept, pros and cons, trigger warnings, and some characters you might be interested in if you're just looking up characters.
*line break for legibility*
Awakening: for the 3DS. Follows Robin, an amnesiac mage, after they're found in a field by a band of knights called the Shepherds. Involves the undead, a twink in a mask, timey-wimey shenangians, and the usual cast of oddballs you'd expect from a Fire Emblem game.
Pros of Awakening: customizable player character, intro of Casual mode (turns off permadeath) and the Pair Up system, which lets you put characters together for shipping reasons strategy and stat boosts. Also doubles as a shipping simulator, since you can pair off characters and meet their later in the game due to said timey-wimey shenangians.
Cons of Awakening: there are some....very concerning combos of names/skin tones/plot relevance for certain characters, so go in with a warning about implicit racism. Also if you like strategy games, this game is relatively easy to break and make "too easy," but tbh that's what Lunatic Mode (the Ultra Unfair Hard Mode) is for.
Trigger warnings across the main plot: underhanded politics, attempted assassinations, martyrdom, an optional character is implied to stalk Robin but idk how to tag that, identity crises, conflicts within a family, character who isn't you looks like you, backstory child abuse, an optional character is a bad portrayal of DID if you squint?
*line break for legibility*
Fates: is actually a group name for two games set in the same universe, and a DLC bonus story: Birthright, Conquest, and Revelations. All for the 3DS. All three games star Corrin, a pacifist raised in seclusion in the kingdom of Nohr. Each game reflects a different path Corrin can take in navigating the war between the nations of Nohr and Hoshido: Birthright has them stand with Hoshido, Conquest with Nohr, and Revelations has them strike out (nearly) alone. Each path has a completely different storyline, cast of characters, and difficulty curve.
Pros of Fates: honestly, the characters here cater the most to the avid pro-shipper and multi-shipper. I just love this cast. Both Nohr and Hoshido have four members of the royal family you can play and get to know, each of those royal family members has two retainers who are various levels of dedicated and/or unhinged, and the cast just widens and widens. Also a character customization and shipping simulator point for the same reasons Awakening gets it. Also, canon fujoshi rights (there's a character with a skill called Daydream, which boosts her stats when two male characters are paired up near her. one of us, one of us). Also the first game with canon queer characters: both Rhajat and Niles are bi.
Cons of Fates: unfortunately, the writing is kinda rushed or badly translated in some places. Also *shakes IntSys* my lore! Give me more lore! Also, iirc, you could get both physical games in a bundle for a discount when they came out, but not anymore, so it's sorta like Pokemon with version exclusives. Which is less fun, since you can't directly trade characters. Also the fandom for this game is RIFE with discourse, which is kinda sad bc I just wanna talk my ships with ppl sjxhdjdn
Trigger warnings for Fates: child abuse might as well be Nohr's middle name, in-universe racism (since Hoshido is p obviously Japan-inspired, and a lot of Nohrians are rancid to Hoshidans), kidnapping, on-screen murder, lots of fighting your loved ones (on both main routes, you gotta fight the playable characters from the other side AAA), su-c-de, death of sibling(s) in certain routes, demonic-like possession, there's like six characters people can read as bad mental illness rep, Niles especially is discourse bait for being a kinky (yes that's canon) bi man of color but also he's awesome so die mad antis
*break for space*
Shadows of Valentia: for the 3DS. A remake of Gaiden, the second game in the series. Follows Alm, a farm boy from a small village in Zofia, and Celica, his childhood best friend. Zofia and the nation to its north, Rigel, are two nations ruled by the dragon gods Mila and Duma, respectively. Normally, they're in equilibrium, but Rigel is invading and Mila is missing, prompting Alm and Celica to independently investigate the problem.
Pros of SoV: the most like the old-school Fire Emblem games, but it also has the permadeath-off mode. also the first to be fully voice acted! The art style is gorgeous, and the plot was polished up from the old game--two characters names Berkut and Rinea were added, and they are PEAK OTP the diskhorse can die mad. Also the cast is pretty fun all around, from buddy squad and the older brother/dad figure they adopted along the way to "hello this is my gang of childhood friends, we're gonna kill a god" Also introduces Mila's Turnwheel, which lets you rewind your moves if you realize you goofed big time and screwed yourself over.
Cons of SoV: has the most references to other games, but you won't, like, be lost if you don't get them. You just might have a few interludes of "who tf is Camus/the White Wing Brigade/etc" but it's easy enough to look up on the wiki. Also tbh, the plot kinda drags in the middle, there's some filler battles to try and make it feel more realistic and it feels...weird. Also no custom character, you are Alm and Celica and you will Like It.
Trigger warnings for SoV: you know that thing where a girl character gets killed off for a guy character to angst over? the game starts with a fakeout version of that. also a character slowly goes mad over the course of the plot (but it's really well done imo?), there's some self-sacrifice stuff in there, classism is a major theme, possession/selling your soul™, there's a couple of levels where you're exploring tombs/prisons, I'm sure there's something else but I'm forgetting right now
*line break for legibility*
Three Houses: on the Switch. The newest game in the series, and the most polished imo? Stars Byleth, a wandering mercenary turned teacher at the Officer's Academy. The Academy, housed in Garreg Mach Monastery, teaches youths from across the land of Fodlan how to be warriors, commanders, and knights. Students are sorted into three houses based on their country of origin: the Black Eagles are from ghe Adrestian Empire, led by the heiress-apparent Edelgard; the Blue Lions are from the kingdom of Faerghus, led by prince Dimitri; and the Golden Deer are from the Leicester Alliance, led by Claude, grandson of the Duke. You choose one of these houses to lead, and then everything quickly goes sour.
Pros of Three Houses: It's such a rich experience! The music is incredible, there's so much lore, and you can wander around the Monastery and hang out with the students to your heart's content. Also, it's four storylines for the price of one, even if they're all relatively similar in the first half. It does a pretty solid job of weaving together its themes into a satisfying narrative that will make you consider everyone involved. Also we got our first bi main lord (Edelgard) and non-white main lord (Claude is mixed race) in one fell swoop! Also, given the setting, it's teacher/student ship heaven.
Cons of Three Houses: just gonna come right out and say it: one of the villainous factions in the game is pretty substantially tied up with some anti-semitic tropes. There's no way to ignore it, it's just bleh, and I'm not gonna send anyone in without that warning. Also, though there's some characters you can persuade to switch sides, or spare, there's no route where there's a happy ending for everyone. Also there are so many people who are fake deep about the themes of the game, so be ready for the worst takes imaginable about your faves. also super trigger heavy, see below.
Trigger warnings: MANY. Garreg Mach and the Church of Seiros are very reminiscent of catholic religious stuff, for anyone with religion triggers, blood in cutscenes, death of a parent, death of a sibling (different characters), major gaslighting vibes in some places, lots of people going unhinged, some white savior™ vibes in places, body horror, creepy ass weaponry, backstory genoc-de (mostly not related to the anti-semitism), blood magic (definitely related to the anti-semitism), in general it goes to a lot more effort than the other games to make you think about what's Actually going on, even if it doesn't always work.
*break for legibility*
As for characters you'd like, if you just want to look some characters up, my recommendations based on what I understand about you include:
Awakening: Libra fits 'gnc man of the cloth' so well it's actually a conversation in game: "so what's a woman of the cloth doing here?" "...man, sir, man of the cloth." And Then He Never Gets Misgendered Again. Also Nowi's supports sometimes feel like a jab at antis-- she's a manakete, a person who can transform into a dragon. Manaketes also grow really slowly, as in "middle aged looking manaketes are like 1000 years old," so she's got major baby face and copes with being mistaken for a teenager by making jokes. Also Gregor, who she first appears with, is pretty fun--older mercenary with a thick accent who is like 80% here for a good time. Also Walhart, who's a villain but got some content added as DLC.
Fates: any interactions between Corrin, Leo, and/or Camilla are probably right up your alley--Camilla is obsessively protective over her siblings in a way that's Very Definitely Platonic™, and Leo also canonically has a crush on her in something that was cut in the English release. Also Gunther--once upon a time he was your classic knight in shining armor, now he's semi-retired, Corrin's personal guard, and covered in scars (and his voice is gorgeous too)
Echoes: my biased answer is to listen to every single line Ian Sinclair read for Berkut because he absolutely did NOT have to go that hard. My actual answer is to point you in the direction of the pegasus sisters Catria, Palla and Est, or maybe the older gentleman who's the head of the Priory, I forgot his name oops abbdbd. Also Clive is a devoted husband to one Mathilda, who looks just like an older version of his sister Clair 🤔
Three Houses: knowing you, you'd adore Hanneman--an older professor who's extremely passionate about his work, to the point where he tends to forget personal space and such. Also Seteth, like I mentioned before (join me in simping for him and his gorgeous pecs) and like, honestly, I know ppl make jokes about Alois but he's rlly good. Soft, awkward but he doesn't care, dad jokes everywhere. And also Mercedes, both because she's the biggest sweetheart imaginable and everyone should love her, but also bc she is just walking potential for the kinds of stuff you post on this blog. On one hand, she's the oldest student at the Academy and attached at the hip to one of the youngest, Annette (tho people act like they have a way bigger age gap then they actually do) and on the other hand, she has a long-lost half brother she can encounter (who I will not name for HUGE HUGE spoilers reasons) who she spends the rest of her life with in one of her endings. Heck, he has three possible endings total! Total!
Basically I brought the games up bc I'm used to being on the side of the fandom where everyone shoos anything uncomfortable under the rug, but there's so much material here that's being wasted I SWEAR
If you have any other questions I can send another anon? Your call! Thanks for hearing me out I love ur blog :3
OKAY!!! sorry for answering so late, but this ask was pretty much a BOOK (not that I´m complaining though! thank you so much! ;;u;;)
and from what I read here, I THINK if I´m going off on my first fire emblem adventure, I´ll try and pick up three houses if I get the chance! I have read your trigger warnings (thank you so much! ;u;) and I think I can take it! >:3
again though, I am really, really not a fan of anime and the anime artstyle in general (blergh! XP) so I´m not sure how I´ll cope with that in particular, but then again, an artstyle does not make a game! u3u
AND HANNEMAN SOUNDS LIKE A WINNER TO ME!! I looked him up and OOOF!!! he may not have NEARLY as many wrinkles as I´d like him to have, but the facial hair is definitely a step in the right direction! ;3c
NOW YOU GOT ME INTERESTED!! 
LETS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!! (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

hey mom!! so i recently got some money from a relative, and i'm debating on what pokemon game from the 3ds era to get right now contenders are y, ultra sun, omega ruby. but if you know anything about the mystery dungeon spinoffs pls enlighten me!! it's my first time playing pokemon on console bc i never had a 3ds before this and i am excited!! also birthright vs conquest? sticking to awakenibg for now (chrom!!) but i wanna try all fe 3ds exclusive games (yo warriors looks like it sucks on 3ds)
1) TBH the best 3ds game is ultra sun/ultra moon followed by oras. x&y r. Kalos. LMAO
2) the mystery dungeon games are really good up until the 3ds era ones ... super mystery dungeon is just. insanely hard and the plot is just meh when compared to the others. the explorers of sky/time/darkness will always be the absolute BEST
3) CONQUEST >>>>>>> birthright doesn’t even compare !! and awakening is the best choice. chrom time!! (warriors sucks the only thing good about it is the pretty HD renders of the fe characters)

Specific Fandom Search!
Happy almost holidays! I’m Meg, Maggy, or Mew! A 20 year old college student who rps for fun! With classes nearly over I’m going to have a lot more time for roleplays, so I figured I’d post an add! Right now there are some specific fandoms I’m looking to rp for my side, however I’m willing to do almost anything for your side as long as I know the material!
General rules:
I’m looking for someone who doubles if the rp is oc/cannon!
Either Oc/Cannon or Cannon/Cannon. If you want oc/oc that’s fine, just give me the info I need.
At least one paragraph per side. (I tend to match my partner’s length and I’m usually pretty lax on the length, just no one liners.) I write third person, you write however you want. Just not chatspeak unless the characters are texting or IMing one another.
Be 18+ and ok with smut!
Don’t cross my limits (No gore, vore, watersports/scat, or beastiality (anthros and furries are ok!) Please let me know your limits because I’m more or less open to anything else.
Try and get a reply out once a week.
Have decent grammar/spelling, I’m not picky about this but I need to understand your response.
I’m really not interested in originals at the moments!
If I still have your attention lemme go into the fandoms I’m looking for and some other info such as aus I like and a few other things to note.
Fandoms I am looking for:
Games
Fire Emblem Awakening
Fire Emblem Fates
Fire Emblem Echoes
Fire Emblem Warriors (I love this game sooo much! Would mostly wanna do cannon/cannon crossover pairings.)
Samurai Warriors (Have played Chronicles, Chronicles 3, Empires 2, and 4. I don’t know the characters introduced in Sanadamaru.)
Pokemon Conquest (I’d die of happiness if anyone rped this with me, like no joke, I’ll do whatever you want.)
Pokemon (includes other spin offs like Ranger!)
Amnesia Memories (I’ll love you forever if anyone would be willing to play Kent for me!)
Hakouki (Would prefer an au!)
Etrian Odyssey (I’d more want to do a crossover with another fandom for this, but I’d also be willing to plot an entire new Yggdrasil and slew of characters. Maybe even new classes!)
Rune Factory (Prefer 4, but I’ve played them all)
Ace Attorney (Currently playing through the Apollo games, have played the original trilogy and I own Dual Destinies.)
Devil Survivor 1 or 2
Bravely Default/Bravely Second
Stella Glow
Luminous Arc 1 or 2 (I’d be surprised if anyone asked for this, but hey ya never know.)
Conception 2 (Would prefer to cross over, but again if anyone would wanna rp this game I’m game.)
Anime
Welcome to the Ballroom! (Caught up with manga and anime! Would also love to do a crossover plot, because how hilarious is it to see our favorites DANCE!)
Sengoku Basara (Would wanna do a Masamune/Yukimura, Sasuke/Yukimura, or Kasuga/Sasuke rp. However oc/cannon is just as good!)
As for extra info let’s get down to it.
These are not the only fandoms I’m in nor are these the only things I rp, these are just what I’m craving. If you wanna try for something not listened, go for it. I also accept suggestions since I love getting into new animes/games!
YOU DO WHAT I WANT, AND I’LL DO THE SAME FOR YOU!
Want a mini harem of vampires and werewolves fighting over your oc? You got it! Want a more serious romance/drama with characters going through major arcs and growth? No problem! Want something dark and angsty? Ok! I’m kink friendly and open to anything as long as it does not cross any of my above mentioned limits. I’ve rped some crazy sheningans so just lay on me whatcha want!
I don’t care if your oc is a self insert/mary sue! As long as we’re both having fun it’s fine.
Au’s I like: Royalty aus, soulmate aus, Omegaverse aus, Disney/Fairytale aus, arranged marriage aus, pretend to be dating then actually start falling for each other aus, modern aus (highschool, college, coffee shop, etc.), and most fantasy based aus. Crossovers are great too!
I AM DITCH FRIENDLY BUT I APPRECIATE A NOTICE!
Communicate if you want any changes, if you go the extra mile for me I will 100% go the extra mile for you!
M/F, M/M, F/F, love triangles, polyamorous couples, harems. It’s all good!
I LOVE OOC CHATTING AND MAKING FRIENDS SO DON’T BE SHY!
I believe that’s it. If you’re interested contact me on here! I usually rp over e-mail, but can rp on Discord or Skype if it’s what you prefer! You can contact me at [email protected]
Hope to hear from some of you!

hi, do you play other ds games as well? ^^ im getting my first ds ever, the new 3ds xl. it comes in a bundle with pokemon sun and i wanna buy new leaf as well, but other than that i have no idea what other nice games there are.... would you be able to give me some recommendations? i like adventure games the most, maybe some platforms ^^ also, it's fine to get new leaf first, right? i won't be confused if i haven't played the other games? ;;
That’s cool that you’re getting a 3ds! Especially now since you can find a lot of them for a good deal. I’m not really a fan of platformers so I don’t know any good ones, buuuut
Since you’re also getting Pokemon I’d recommend Yo-Kai Watch, Monster Hunter Stories, and Moco Moco Friends. Each of these games are very different from Pokemon but they all share the “battling with monsters” mechanic. I haven’t played much of Moco Moco Friends but it was fun and I want to get back in it.
For something with the same feel as New Leaf I’ll say Fantasy Life, Ever Oasis, Rune Factory 4, Story of Season 2 (as SoS 1 is kind of boring imo), Style Savvy 2 and 3, Happy Home Designer if you’re into  the house decorating of New Leaf.
Some other fun games I’ve tried out were these 2 Disney Magical World games as they’re more like an easier Fantasy Life while also running a Cafe. The fact that you can run a cafe is the only reason I wanted it bc I’m not a fan of Disney. Final Fantasy Explorers is an ok ARPG game but it has a really slow start to it. Miitopia is a fun and lovely game! It’s almost like a full version of that rpg mini game in Tomodachi Life. I really enjoyed Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest if you’re into tactical rpgs I’d say check out that one.
I know that Miitopia, Ever Oasis, Yo-Kai Watch, Style Savvy 3, and Monster Hunter Stories haves demos you can try out. Yo-Kai’s demo did turn me away from the game, though and I’m not sure why. I’m happy that my brother got it and after playing the full game I really did fall in love with Yo-Kai Watch.

I’ve decided to switch focus for a moment from RWDE to this, a sort of hyperbolic series of videos criticizing Video Games. I will might also cover his Twilight Princess/Skyward Sword too but I wanna hit this because I am very well versed in Pokemon and I have been a fan of the series since I picked up an old Red Version back in the early 2000′s so yeah, I have been a long term fan having played the games from Red to X and the only reason I don’t play Sun or Moon is because I haven’t gotten the games. I have done quite a bit of research on them though so I feel confident that I can debate this. So let’s begin:
0:25
Actually yes, they have. A lot. Like the Steel Type which WASN’T a part of Generation 1, Berries, alternate Pokeballs with differing catch rates based on conditions, Natures, Physical/Special Split, Double Battles, Held items, Evs and Ivs, Abilities, Breeding, EV training, Poke-amie, Mega Evolution which completely changed the game, Roaming Legendaries, the Fairy Type and re typing of previous Pokemon, the Alolan forms, Poekpolaga, Z-Moves and many others because I don’t do competitive battles. And this is all coming without delving into how THESE aspects are changed and built upon, such as the Triple battle, Rotation battle and Inverse Battle being built off of the Double Battles along with the various new Pokeballs, The change with the Physical Special Spilit, the sheer variety of the held items and the Abilities that are rare like Hidden Abilities or Mega Abilities. And then we have spin off games, such as the Mystery Dungeon Series, the Ranger series, the Rumble series, Pokemon COnquest, Pokemon Snap, Poke Collseum, Pokemon XD, Pokken and such. This is simply not true.
1:50
This Mario analogy really bites him in the ass because if Pokemon is nothing but these turn based battles, then Mario would be, by his logic, nothing but jumping around. And once again, this only applies to the Pokemon main series, not the spin offs which have dungeon crawling, adventure games, beat em ups, stradegy games, photo shooting and fighting games. So this compliant still doesn’t hold up and with  the Mario analogy kind of gives an air of willful ignorance.
2:08
“Copy and Paste”? Really? So the fact that there are new characters, new locations, new cities, new types of battles, new items and so are completely disregarded? If so, then no wonder you have a problem: you aren’t taking things into account. And then there’s the fact that not every Pokemon fan watches trailers so that flaw doesn’t apply to them and is thus not a universal criticism.

*Groans and growls* A. That doesn’t even make sense considering wild Pokemon cannot stall the game like that, they would have no concept of such a thing being WILD Pokemon, another Pokemon means more experience points without having to look for more Pokemon, grinding is inherently slow so “quickly” doesn’t even make sense, you are pretty much guaranteed to be stronger than any none Legendary Wild pokemon in the game so a second pokemon would pose no threat and this could have just been avoided if you mentioned how in generation 5 when you are faced by two wild pokemon you could send out two. I know this is a joke but the joke is so poorly written and so badly enacted that there’s no humor for me to suspend my disbelief for him.
3:43
Gee, i dunno. Because that’s over 800 POKEMON that you would need to program into the game which is located on a hand held console meaning it has less space and less processing power than a console. Also, Pokemon following you around is your suggestion? Dude, that is the definition of a novelty: as cheap throwaway gimmick that in fact would be just like that “new coat of paint” you were complaining about. All the stuff I mentioned but you refuse to acknowledge actually impacts the gameplay.
4:22
...Would you believe it if I said that this exact analogy is why I decided to do all of this? Yeah, this is a TERRIBLE analogy. First off, you’d HAVE to order the Cheesecake, just like how you’d BUY a pokemon game. If you complain about getting the same basic formula as before, it’s no one’s fault but your own.
Secondly, stuff like Abilities, Fairy Types and Mega Evolution would change the game entirely so it would be exactly the same as before. But you know what IS essentially chocolate shaving? Having your Pokemon follow you around. The one specific compliant so far and it spits in the face of everything else.
Third: The part about not putting chocolate shaving on strawberry would be disgusting if it actually happened, just like how adding in Pokemon following you everywhere would clash with the gimmicks of some of the gyms.
Fourth: The part about being more expensive is just blatantly false: Teh starting price of Pokémon games, at least since Diamond and Pearl, has always been 50 dollars. Are older games cheaper now? Yes but that’s how prices go: The newest games are more expensive because they expanded more than the older games.
Fifth: You can stop ordering cheesecake at many time and look for another dessert, just like you can stop playing the main series of games and look at the spin-offs or just different games. Nobody is forcing you but yourself.
4:32
Hehehehe...
Remember this.
4:37
But if you change the battles, that would be a complete OVERHAUL of the game, that thing you said Pokemon didn’t need to do 5 SECONDS ago!
4:43 And Abilities, and new types, and Mega Evolution, and held items, and Double+ battles...
Also, no unique Z-Moves? Well, sorry Catasrropika, 10 000 000 Volt Thunderbolt, Stoked Sparksurfer, Extremem Evoboost, Pulververizing Pancake, Genesis Supernova Sinister Arrow Raid, Mailcious Moonsault, Oceanic Operetta, Guardian of Alola, Soul-Stealing 7-Star Strike and Clangorous Soulblaze: None of you are unique enough!
4:52 Then don’t USE the Z-Moves: You have a choice to not use them. Even so, you cannot speak for everyone and if this is YOUR issue, that’s YOUR problem, not Gamefreak’s/
5:13 A. The opinionh about Totem Pokemon is personal opinion and without any proof is irrelevant.
And B. What about Kiawe’s trial which is about spotting the difference in the dancing, or Mallow’s trial where you have to find four ingredients or Sophocies’s trial where you have to answer several questions? A bit more expansive than most Pokemon Gyms.
5:30 Because if they did do that: Then the Gym Leaders (oir Captains here) would just feel like a generic trainer. It works for the rivals because you see their teams grow but with Gym Leaders? One battle and that’s it. The types give them more personality and more vibrancy.
5:39
Why are the rivals dumb? What makes them dumb? ... No answer? Well then, they aren’t the dumb ones here.
And if we talk about rivals as a whole: What about Gladion? He’s a call back to older rivals, specifically Silver with his personalty and parental troubles.
6:33
A. YOU DID NOT FINISH THE GAME. This explains why you have made so many mistakes here: You are talking out of your ass and pretending you know this stuff without seeing it for yourself or, lie me, doing any research on them. If you don’t even confirm what you are saying is true, why should anyone believe you?
And B. Exp. Share is OPTIONAL: You have no one to blame for that but yourself if you let your team get that overleveled.
.7:12
A. Pikachu’s voice is literally it saying “pik-a-chu” That’s it. Nothing else. You are directly lying here.
B. That skit is as unfunny as one form modren Family Guy
And C. Pikachu’s only appear in SOS battles and only in two places so they DON’T appear that often. And even if Hau has a Pikachu, he uses it three times and evolves it into a Raichu.
7:40 Then that would break the game, making attacks with low PP completely worthless and making super hard to defeat Pokemon like Shuckle a terror. You say, don’t do a big overhaul but this WOULD be a big overhaul.
8:04 THAT is the very definition of a complete overhaul. You just contradicted yourself AGAIN.
8:15 You mean like a dungeon crawler, or a beat em up or an adventure game or a fighting game? Like the ones that already exist? Yeah, kind of makes it look like you don’t do a lick of research.
8:27 Okay then, what’s your excuse for fans like me, ones who ARE older but still enjoy the new games? Nothing?
8:35 ... He says they should do a spin off game...and references a spin off game...
.. Do I even need to be here?
8:57
A. Teh E-Shop games cost about six bucks a piece: Not really a cash grab.
And B. That part ignores the legal side of things where, by using already existing Pokemon, the creators have every right to protect their intellectual property if they so choose. Not to mention this sin’t even exclusive to Pokemon, which around the time Uranium got hit a Metroid fangame was hit as well so this is clearly Nintendo’s doing.
9:39
...
You know...Nothing...and I mean nothing...pisses me off more than some whiny, entitled, arrogant, pissant pseudo-fan claiming that a creator is being lazy or some shit because all that says is that you understanding NOTHING about what they d Especially since this so called “artistic intergrity” was gone when you started not doing research, contradicting yourself and outright LYING just to push your narrative while insulting the real fans for paying attention to the changes that the creators have done over the years and teh chances tehy’ve taken.
And the most ironic thing is, you putting LESS effort into your videos would actually HELP. Because you already don’t do research or fact check anything you say, you already take footage from other places and the one thing you put effort into were the WORST parts of the video. Remove the original animations and you’d actually have a better product. Funny how stuff rebounds on you.

I was tagged by: @corsicangeneral
Rules: Answer eleven questions, make eleven questions and tag eleven people.
Tagging: Find any of my questions interesting? Congrats. You’re now tagged.
I was asked:
1. If you could travel any where in the world, where would you go?
Either Greece or Alcatraz. I’m a huge nerd when it comes to Greek mythology, and I find the 1920′s gangster culture to be rather interesting.
2. If you could be any mythical creature or being, what and why?
Dragon. I wanna fly around, breath fire, and collect shiny objects.
3. What is one thing you cannot live without?
My cat. Her name is Pandora and I love her.
4. Favorite type of food on a rainy day?
White Chili. That stuff is so good.
5. What is your favorite memory that you have?
I dunno... I don’t really think about the past all that much... I guess when I went to Washington (the state) for a month, hanging out with my cousins was fun. We played Mario Kart, it was pretty cool.
6. Which mystery of the world would you want to know the answer to?
Why do people constantly blame Helen of Troy for the Trojan War? It’s like they forget that she was given to Paris as a prize without any consent.
7. What is your favorite flavor of cake?
My mom’s so good at cake I don’t think I can have a true answer. I like banana and red velvet. Maybe one of those?
8. What pairing goes together best in your opinion?
Corrin and Izana. Izana can help Corrin cope with all of the stuff that’s going on during Birthright and Conquest, while Corrin can help Izana mature a little. Also, Izana makes puns out of his child’s name, which makes him the best possible husband Corrin could have.
Or Frey/Clorica from Rune Factory 4. No reason in particular. I just love my sleepy wife.
9. Which superpower would you want if you could only have one?
As an Animorphs fan, naturally I have to go with the ability to morph. Morphing is cool, and I wanna ride the thermals.
10. Which fictional character would be the most boring to meet in real life?
Mmm... maybe Arthur from Rune Factory 4. He’s kinda boring, and I think the only real trait he has is that he has some sort of glasses fetish.
11. What is the dumbest way you’ve been injured?
In middle school I got so dehydrated that I fell and hurt my ankle when I was walking from gym class to the nurse’s. I walked with a limp for awhile. That’s all I can think of, I don’t have the best memory. This question is better for my sister anyway.
Questions I’ll Ask
What color do you think people most associate with you? (Doesn’t have to be your favorite color.)
What character do you think makes the best villain and why?
What myth do you think best describes you?
If you had to lose one of your five senses, which one would you choose and why?
If you were a character in a musical what would your solo be called?
Is there anything that people think you love more than you actually do? If so, what is it?
If you could have any animal as a pet (and it doesn’t have to be a real animal) what would you want, and why?
If you were forced to change your name, what would you change it to?
If you had to live in any farm simulator type game, which one would you choose?
If you woke up one day to find that you’ve been turned into a pokemon (or if you don’t know any just some sort of fantasy creature) which one would you want to be turned into the least?
If you could only read one book for the rest of your life, what book would you choose?
