    Little things you like about Pokémon

    the fact that Pokemon's mainstream ubiquity at the turn of the millennium resulted in absurd Kids WB commercial frames like this that were basically fanfiction Kids WB's Battle for the Badge promos (where this comes from) also features Slyvester the Cat from Looney Tunes singing the Pokemon...

    Post your searing hot takes

    Never really been a big fan of Clue Bottles in the Sly Cooper series and I don't particularly mind Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves ditching them. I only think they are pretty tolerable in the original game (Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus) by virtue of the levels being relatively small. I don't...

    Simisear's design isn't the thing that deserves hate. In fact, none of the monkeys deserve hate really. No, my main problem with Simisear is...Pansear itself in BW1. Pre-Gen VI Incinerate is borderline unplayable, and is the main reason it ended up in C in our list (in contrast to Panpour's A...

    Post your searing hot takes

    Dunno how hot of a take this is (posting this because a lot of shows have done at least one) but I generally dislike whole-plot references / episodes over-reliant on shout-outs in cartoons. They can be done well (Dexter's Laboratory's Mock 5 for Speed Racer and Phineas and Ferb's Wizard of Odd...

    Little things you like about Pokémon

    As much as I crap on Pokemon Colosseum as a game, I really enjoy the atmosphere of its finale. It's nice the game fakes you out with a Gonzap battle already, but the final fights set in this HUGE futuristic tower colosseum is a great way to cap off the game. If it was just the four trainers and...

    Unpopular opinions

    If there's ever a spinoff that I think desperately needs a remake to smooth out the rough edges, it's Pokemon Colosseum. What you have to pick from is a pool of 50% meme mons and 50% okay mons - not a good look in a game with roughly 50 options. Very occasionally you'll get a "holy crap this is...

    Pokémon Diamond, Pearl & Platinum In-game Tier List Discussion

    I want to echo what Altissimo said. Speaking as someone who has been doing these tier lists for...6 years (started the BW1 thread in February 2019, gosh time flies) it is absolutely NOT an easy task. I'll openly admit I could have done a lot better back then and I'm not proud of those early...

    I don't think the movie "Hoodwinked!" has bad animation. Like yeah if you're comparing it to Pixar or DreamWorks it might look a little odd. But on its own merits I think it looks just fine.

    Kung Fu Panda 2 is Identity Crisis: The Movie The serious plot elements are good and the comedy is good...individually. I'm the kind of person who loves surprisingly dark themes in children's media. This movie should be a slam dunk for me. Why is the humor so funny and the plot elements...

    GSC In-Game Tier List Mark V

    I mostly meant Pikachu being postgame makes it a non-factor, hence the lol (we decided long ago we aren't doing Kanto) Jolteon is...not good either Really, this is the problem with the Johto games. So many Pokemon are just screwed over by questionable design choices. Playing these games gets...

    GSC In-Game Tier List Mark V

    Because Zebes as well as me thought it was A. Ryota thought it was B though. My Ursaring swept Clair. That offsets availability easily given Clair's difficulty. Scyther is incidentally in that same post where I call it a C tier due to availability + lopsided performance If you believe...

    GSC In-Game Tier List Mark V

    Yeah I know about Flame Wheel but 65 base power isn't exactly inspiring. Flamethrower is out of the question for Growlithe imo Pikachu lol Hard agree on the Grass types. You just...can't make them work in Gen 2 (and I'm the kind of person who has found usefulness for Audino in BW1 and Lopunny...

    GSC In-Game Tier List Mark V

    yeah I don't support 0.2% Mystery Gift at all in any context I didn't know that you could even get evolutionary stones this way at all despite doing tons of runs for these lists that's like...DPPT Munchlax levels of improbability lol also in general, even if you get a stone evolution off the...
