I do hope he gets a mega or new evolution though, there's a lot of potential for design with him and he's seemingly one of those forgotten mons despite being a series staple at this point.

New evo in the vein of Dudunsparce or Annihilape would be nice. Mega could also work if GF is committed to keeping them in the mainline games (:optimistic:, I know). Fuck Region variant evos though.

What are you on about? By time I got to ultra necrozma I 3 hit killed him. And I'm a super casual player who doesn't do fuck all with comp shit. Maybe people just suck at this game I don't know.

Oh wow! I remember when I saw a YouTuber make a video about this and how great the gameplay is and has customisation, which I love in a game but now has been tainted by forced diversity. Keyword FORCED because Shockslayer labels you a racist if you want to turn the feature off.
Is there anywhere I can keep up on this drama? I don't want to derail the thread but this looks entertaining.

ShockSlayer (the creator of Pokémon Crystal Clear) seems like a lolcow with his massive ego and hypocrisy in regards to code (stealing code from open source ROMhacks but leaving Crystal Clear closed source); is there enough content for a thread?

Finally got around to (re)starting (Ramotith's dewoked) BW3 and either the Gen 5 songs don't translate well to Gen 2 or the composers didn't do a good job IMO.

I have got o actually play the hack myself and o a proper comparison someday.

It is fully open-source, as long as credit is given to this hack. If credit is not found to be given, the hack's author will be notified to do so. Additionally, Shockslayer, as well as anyone currently working on, moderating, or developing the Crystal Clear project is NOT allowed to use any of the code contained within this repository, as long as they refuse to share their code (besides music ports) for the wider ROM hacking community.

Pokemon is also one of the few franchises in the world for children that's for the most part, completely untouched by the Woke Mind Virus. So for the parents that do have kids, it's a "safe brand" for now. If Japan ever lets ESG into it's media and it creeps into GF, I promise you Pokemon would virtually die overnight.

SV was made to get some ESG/DEI points from Blackrock and Vanguard.

Sorry for replying two weeks late, but Pokemon has been somewhat "progressive", especially as the franchise started getting more inspiration from non-Japanese regions. IDK if it's purely for EDI/ESG or just because they know that the brand has a worldwide fanbase though.

I will give the Pokemon company points for trying to keep everything neutral and seldom (if ever) commenting on big social issues. For example, there's a lot more dark-skinned characters in the games and XY introduced a minor tranny character (at least in the English version; a Beauty trainer says they used to be a Black Belt). When people complained that Nessa, a dark-skinned Galarian gym leader was being "whitewashed" by fans because she's a "nigger", the Pokemon company said nothing. They didn't even confirm if Nessa is "black" or even "brown"... we only know is that she's dark-skinned from a fictional place that isn't a real equivalent to U.K (Galar).

There was similar speculation about Geeta being Pajeet-coded (nothing confirmed, and wouldn't make sense for a Mexico or Iberian-inspired region) or accusations that Cynthia was supposed to be Ainu and that Legends: A was an overt reference to Japanese imperialism, but they never said shit either. It seems to me that we're expected to accept that Pokemon is a fictional world where our real-life social concepts mean nothing and I'm fine with that.

PLA was literally about Japan taming the wilds of Ezo (now Hokkaido), thats like saying Valiant Hearts wasn't in a WWI setting. It was, it just was.

News dropped yesterday, the Pokémon company created a new subsidiary.

The hopeful speculation is they will help bug fix and get the games in a better state. The worst case is they just work on toys or some other dumb shit and never help work on the games.
Click to expand...
Apparently the address for the company just so happens to be in the same building with ILCA, and the trademark registration for them involves digital programming and other vidya related topics. I'm leaning towards them being a name laundering scheme for any upcoming remakes.

Someone in the Metokur thread linked a pretty interesting retsupurae of a Pokemon White playthru
Here is a spoiler: Aside from actual aspergers the player has, it has an interesting...gimmick.
BTW the videos are not only still up, but the playthru was completed(over a course of several years) and the channel is still active, with a new video being released today. Here is a playlist of the entire let's play:
Truly, the Pokemon LPs have evolved...not sure they should have.

Invidious embeds don't really work on TOR, but I know exactly what one this is. So many classic moments. the gasp when he makes a comment about her shorts, the dawning realization that it actually is him doing the voice and especially the screech at the end. Definitely a classic and one of my favorites.

So question.
SV + DLC physical release, do you have to download all of the 2nd dlc or is the download just a version update that allows the game to flag that part of the dlc that is already on the disc?
 
finished Clear Crystal today. the Elite Four in that version is a bunch of OCs but hearing 8-bit remixes of some good Nintendo songs was pretty cool.

not sure what Pokemon game i tackle next when the iche comes back. it was either a ROM hack called Black and White three (heard its Black and White two but in gen 2 format) or Pokemon Coliseum (never played the original. only XD)

"edit"
here is my Dragoon fully evolved
