@coolboymew At least this ending doesn’t involve vore.

@coolboymew I’m a little excited for this I guess. I thought the DOS version was ok and couldn’t really get into the other ones on the Switch. Unless I’m missing something and PM2 was on Switch already or something.

@coolboymew Yeah you’re probably legitimately better off playing Showdown because at least that actually understands how PvP should be handled and is really the only way you can seriously play with a lot of the more complicated mechanics. It’s more insulting because there was the battle frontier and hard mode which was steering the series in the right direction and gave you PvCPU stuff but they both got removed because… I don’t know?

@coolboymew I think SwSh might have been the worst ones but it kinda has an excuse since the team that’s working on them really only had experience with handhelds. It was just kind of insulting because the stated reason they removed most of the pokemon was to improve animations and graphics but it didn’t seem like they did enough to justify it. Personally I feel like they should have just kept the 2D visuals and just worked on making those better.

I think S/V was at least a little better but I couldn’t get through it. It was the only pokemon game I just gave up on but I can’t tell if that was because of its kinda meh open world or because I’m finally burnt out on it after playing for like 20 years.

@coolboymew One really specific annoyance I had for this is that they never actually changed them into the dojo outfits they supposedly put on. I’m not really sure why they even designed gym outfits for them if they spend most of their time in the dojo? Maybe they were scrapped designs that got recycled?

The reason why I’m so weirdly fixated on this is because they kinda did Avery dirty. He’s a pretty twink that just gets shat on because he has no drip.

@coolboymew Wait so in this the demon lord is amab and uses their shapeshifting powers to present as female? That sounds kinda based, might actually check it out now.

@coolboymew The label looks vaguely like tabasco sauce too

@coolboymew England was a mistake :notlikemiya:

@coolboymew There was also Cloyster (which is also a really weird pokemon). I guess they kinda did the same thing with Gengar (for non-censorship reasons)? They keep fucking with the Gengar line’s colours and I think the darker sprites were better. Haunter looks like a genuinely scary shadow monster and Gengar looks like it’s about to mug you in a dark alleyway.

@coolboymew I mean, I don’t really like Jynx in general so it would just seem like a weird hill to die on for me but I guess every pokemon is someone’s favorite and there’s probably someone who cares. :akko_shrug:

@coolboymew They really should have picked a darker colour for this, my eyes are burning. I think the Jynx treatment would have been better? It’s one of the few examples were I thought censorship was kinda justified and I actually liked the change. (I haven’t watched Dragonball tho so idk the full context here)

@coolboymew Yeah exactly it feels like “root beer la Croix” with a little bit of sugar.

@coolboymew Mug is like the most meh root beer ever, I don’t even bother getting root beer if that’s all they have.

@coolboymew Honestly I think I would be more accepting if my kid was doing drugs, at least that’s understandable.

@coolboymew Is that benadryl soup or pepto bismol soup? There’s a big difference :blobcatsweats:

@coolboymew I had a similar experience with pokemon red since I was really young when I first played. I actually kinda used it to learn how to read but could never beat it because of that.

Later I got a Japanese copy Heart Gold because I didn’t want to wait and I played Gold a ton as a kid so I kinda just understood what was going on. I just guessed around for the radio tower quiz thing but that was the only thing that kinda stumped me due to the language barrier iirc. Safari zone was also impossible to use but you didn’t really need that to finish the game.

@coolboymew I didn’t even know you could skip it? Not sure if I was stupid or if I just don’t remember (it’s been a while since I last played). Damage has already been done tho, video games turned me gay :deadinside:

@coolboymew Ironically this made me more motivated to not die in Banjo Kazooie because me thinking Gruntilda was hot made me very uncomfortable. 10/10 game over screen.

@coolboymew This is just wrong, Flareon always lets everyone down.

@coolboymew I think they still sell the Spongebob ones but only in the states tho :akko_sad2:
