    Skyward Sword is the one known as a suffocating 'Zelda formula' iteration, but TP laid the foundation. Overbearing cutscenes and tutorialization, needless item collection popups, undercooked overworld, divisive minigames. TP feels like a spiteful response to WW hate, a lot like how Pokemon BW...

    February Games of the Month I'm participating in RetroAchievements's Achievement of the Week/Month, so I thought I'd start posting about the semi-to-not-at-all-obscure game experiences I've had. Achievements of the Week are intended to take 1-3 hours, while Months are 6-8. I will allocate my...

    This is freaking me out has anyone else noticed this about Megas?

    They were pretty shameless about it in Gen 2 with Xanma and Yatu, but I guess it's true nobody cared about the obscure new Pokemon in Johto.

    The only problem is it just doesn't feel good to say. Switch is a mundane, one syllable word, so adding another takes away the snappiness without creating the weight of, say, the Playstation naming scheme.

    Brothership is way closer to a 5/10 than a 10/10. In pursuit of being a good-looking, premium, accessible HD game, it makes small, insidious concessions and changes to the formula that left me wondering if the series was ever good until I tried Partners in Time again and realized just what went...

    Weaknesses are kinda overrated in general. The most impact it has is turning 20 damage basics into better Farfetch'd. Bigger attacks tend to stay as 2HKOs on exs. Pikachu beats Water because it's doing the same thing more consistently. Fighting isn't a top deck even in Pikachu metas because...

    get into magmml. magmml3 in particular is the finale the series deserves, and episode zero is just a fantastic standalone game

    As a general ice enthusiast, it's pretty annoying the current representative is a cheese card that's pretty mediocre and unexciting when played fair. Blizzard is evocative on first read but the bench damage doesn't matter enough

    I'd look to play Weezing Koga, a much more robust early-game package. Staryu can be easily picked off, and Starmie hardly needs a Golem nuke to follow up 90 damage.

    Kangashkan has the best HP-damage ratio of any colorless basic, plain and simple. The retreat issue can be minimized with X Speed. Sure, it's setup fodder if you roll low, but setup fodder is an inherent issue with Dragonite decks. Gotta accept EXs will outsize you.

    Kangashkan is a great option for Dragonite decks, being the most efficient colorless tanky basic. Drawing all the Dragonite stages and seeing both energy types is variance-ridden as it is, so you want the surrounding cards to be as consistent as possible without being so passive the Dragontie...

    I can't really argue with anything you can levy against this game in its current state, so I'll just try to articulate why it's still compelling to me. It mainly comes down to pace of play. One of my favorite things about Pokemon video games is the feeling of hitting major progression...
