    GTA: Sword and Shield is looking brilliant. Can't wait to drive around in an Issi running down police. Although, what with the timeframe its set, I don't think that'd be an option.

    Don’t think I will buy that, but it looks neat.

    I find it fascinating how as Ash has progressively improved as a Pokemon trainer, the anime's art style has reflected his journey by getting progressively worse.

    IIRC he also won the Orange Island whatever the hell, so I think it's less "Ash has improved" and more "Ash can only perform well in island settings." :p

    Regardless I'm pretty sure every Adventures/Special protagonist could thrash him, including Yellow. ... Actually, especially Yellow.

    He probably would have won more if he leveled everything, but for some reason he had to powerlevel his pikachu until it was 6/6/6/6/6/6 lvl 100.

    Would've been easier with audino’s in unova though.

    Was at my local park yesterday and saw dozens of people walking around the pond staring at their phones. It didn't take me long to realize they were playing Pokemon Go. I'd never gotten into it; but I don't have any issue with these people walking around watching their phones so long as they don't bother me reading on the bench. A girl sat near me and confirmed there was a special event in the area for the game.

    A couple even dressed as Ash and Misty lol.

    That's about when I bounced off the show, other than a couple movies (and then only up to about that medieval Lucario movie).

    Also, wait, isn't the Battle Frontier an island? This is just reinforcing my hypothesis. Ash Ketchum: Island Master.

    I think the lines are pretty straightforward:
    • Enjoying thing mostly marketed towards children: fine, cool, good
    • Not enjoying thing mostly marketed towards children: fine, cool, good
    • Complaining for months on end about thing mostly marketed towards children and then clogging up my YouTube recommendations with your tirades: not cool, kind of lame, go for a walk
    • Death threats about thing mostly marketed towards children: bad

    To be fair, I think all of that generally applies to things made for, and marketed towards adults too.

    I mean, hell, if people could just generally stop clogging my YouTube recommendations, including YouTube, that'd be great.

    I haven't paid any attention to any controversy but I plan on getting my copy of Shield tomorrow.

    And so the eighth generation begins. Although looks like some people already had the game already and later bosses are already showing up on youtube. I think, I'm closing windows fast so not too sure. Youtube recommendations get annoying fast.

    Too backed up on games to grab this right away- unless a close friend's family gets in on it (in which case, I'll join in to play alongside them). I'm still more tempted by Sun/Moon's setting. I also get the impression from the reviews that Sword/Shield are good, but are only a partial jump forward (as is usual). So I may wait to see what the next Gen brings to (presumably) Switch.

    (The controversy is super-duper-stupid, though. That has nothing to do with my decision.)

    If Generation 9 is also on Switch, it stands to reason that we might see a larger leap forward than between 7 and 8.

    I've been playing all day and enjoying every moment of it. I've already found a few favourites from the new 'mon, but couldn't resist jumping on the Eevee train early with this game. Also of the old 'mons is Lombre, which has proved itself with quite a large chunk of the journey so far. Just wish I had a water stone to evolve it already.

    That's my assumption, too. I think this gen still has some carryover from 3DS production.

    Eh, it's not that stupid, in that it's a pretty major shift for the franchise, and the excuses given for it were pretty feeble.

    But I've been playing it this afternoon while in the pub, and it's the same Pokemon I love, just with really glossy production value, which is actually really nice. It's actually a little jarring to see such a wonderfully brought to life Pokemon game not fork out for some voice actors though. It makes some of the really nice cutscenes, especially the very first one in the Wembley... I mean Pokemon Stadium go from really impressive to feeling not quite finished.
