Yeah, the Steam page shows the 16th as the release date. I decided to defer to the Steam page. As of this writing, they haven't changed the release date on Steam. |

Oh this may just be a timezone thing, as the trailer is possibly using the Japanese release date as the base. Kinda like how the Shadow of the Erdtree trailers did, so it came out June 20th in the Americas despite the June 21st messaging. Especially with the way Steam works, it's not really worth the hassle to try to force a specific release date everywhere. |

They can do all that and still include all Pokemon. Nothing about including an option to bring in all Pokemon during post-game would hurt those goals. Want to cultivate a specific environment for VGC? Then just limit what Pokemon are usable, like they already do. Like most of the excuses given during that time, it was extremely flimsy and quickly dispelled. |

Yeah it was a great little write up, and while it sucks that's the reality, it's a nice breakdown to understand the good points of Nintendo's methods there.
I think the bigger issue with Palworld was so many trying to bill it as some kinda Pokemon killer when it was just an extremely derivative generic survival crafting game. And if you enjoyed it that's totally fine, but don't lie to yourself that it has anything to do with Pokemon outside of the monster collecting idea. Joe Merrick was constantly blasted by people randomly saying "look how much better this is/THIS is what pokemon should be", probably from people who barely played it or knew anything about it outside of Unreal Engine 5 graphics, so I don't blame him at all for whatever he said and did. Palworld made people so feral because they just wanted that confirmation bias so hard, when the game itself was barely finished.
Nah the Past and Future Pokemon were sick ideas, and I think while you could cynically call it lazy, a lot of Delibird fans were overjoyed to see a new take on the Santa Bird, as a Lethal Robo-Santa killer bird haha. Alternate regional forms, or even these past/future takes on some Pokemon, are often a cool way to take an old design, maybe one that's a little neglected, and inject new life and energy into it in a new game, and I love that Pokemon has continued to do that since they introduced the idea back in Sun/Moon with the Alolan forms. Not all are winners, but some are very inspired, and Robo-Santa Delibird is absolutely a new fan-favourite. |

What's with the inconsistent pronouns? Typo? |

I would tell you to chill out on Pratt, acting like he did one of the worst VA jobs in any mainstream animated movie ever, if not the absolute worst, especially when there's way worse VA performances out there(Sean Connery as Sir Billi anyone?), and acting like studios putting big celebrity voices in their animated works isn't new. - removed weirdly hostile ending sentence. |

I just struggle to find any difference in situation here. It's a bit ironic seeing an article talk about undeserved hate and toxicity among fans and then when I bring up another similar example it gets waved off as somehow being justified to hate Pratt and direct all that towards him. Especially if it's for reasons that apply to the rest of the cast as well but only he gets singled out As far as my "beloved" comment goes I mainly just meant he did a lot of popular mainstream films and roles. He voiced in The Lego Movie, the recent Garfield movie, and played an Avenger in the MCU. As far as celebrities go he's one of the most non-controversial ones out there in modern times unless you're one of those people who dislike him for his faith. He's not making bizarre political statements or attacking and cursing out people on social media and causing all kinds of controversy like some of his co-stars in the film are known for. |

I can't continue this discussion if you're going to be willfully ignorant and pretend there aren't varying degrees to these matters. Toxicity comes from whether or not people harrass people I can't humor you if you're going to pretend people not liking bad casting is equal to organized hatred reactionary groups. This is the second time I've asked people drop the subject of Chris Pratt, which was neither here nor there to the column. |
