I don't see how ARMA and Ninja Gaiden would be the weird guy that's because you never see how anything about you could be perceived as negative in any way
damn you stay riding my dick in every thread lmao
Like I said, I don't see how there's anything weird about mainstream games like ARMA and Ninja Gaiden. ARMA is played by a lot of vets and a version is even used by the military to train soldiers. Ninja Gaiden is one of the most mainstream and popular hack n slash games around. Almost everybody's played it or at least heard of it.
ARMA is also played by autismos who like to RP in milsim, and Ninja Gaiden was as popular as you described a decade ago. Series died off pretty hard, unfortunately.
I don't see how that detracts from all the normal people who play ARMA. Ninja Gaiden dying doesn't mean it wasn't popular and mainstream.
the very fact that it isn't popular and mainstream anymore is why it's not consider normie that's why quake isn't normie even though it and FPS games in general are still very popular

All this console needs is a few more games, 3rd party app support (YouTube, Netflix, Crunchyroll, etc.) and backwards compatibility to be perfect. In the words of the immortal TBlocks, "This is some space-age shit" and I've loved every minute of playing it on the go. Today I had to wait an hour and a half for my brother to finish at the gym. I adjusted my steering wheel, took off the joycons, and placed the screen leaning on the horn to play in the comfort of the driver's seat while I waited. This is something I fantasised about in the eight grade: a portable home console.
will you be getting mario "killer app" odyssey
"killer app"?
the game that's most likely to cause a torrential downpour of switch sales and be the primary reason people will be getting a switch, like halo: ce was for xbox you might say botw was that, but i think most people just played it safe and bought it on wii u instead

Route 1What I wanted: Sentret, Furret What I found: Pidgey  Sentret is only available in the daytime, and I've never used one in my life, and I guess it's saying that way for now. Not that I was really expecting great things from this route anyway.
Route 2What I wanted: Ledyba, Ledian, Pikachu What I found: Kakuna  I've woken up early in the morning for every single Ledyba route in the game. On top of that, Ledian is my favorite Bug-type, and catching one would've put me at full Bug Trainer status. But, according to this run, it just wasn't meant to be.
Route 21What I wanted: Mr. Mime What I found: Mr. Mime  Since TM50 does contain Substitute in this game, Mr. Mime is the only Pokémon that happens to learn the move naturally. This will be immensely useful for Rosalie the Smeargle as well, but it's going to be a rare encounter. They have a 10% chance to run away every turn, too, so finding one is relatively dicey. The only other Pokémon available on this route is Tangela, which I'd really rather not get, but it's practically guaranteed at 95% during morning and night, and 90% during the day. Naturally, since it was daytime, I went ahead and explored this route when Tangela would be at their least common. And somehow, I was able to actually find and catch a Mr. Mime. This run is fucking memetastic.
Cinnabar IslandWhat I wanted: Nothing What I found: Tentacool  I already have every Pokémon available here.
Route 20What I wanted: Nothing What I found: Tentacool Same here.
Route 19What I wanted: Staryu What I found: Staryu  MY FUCKING BIRTHRIGHT It's about goddamn time. Literally, since the beginning of the game, I've been waiting out for this thing—and now I finally have one. And because Bill's grandfather is a fucking daft bastard, I won't even be able to evolve it. But hey, whatever, I have a Staryu now. That's still cool in and of itself. In terms of encounters, that completes Kanto, except for Route 28, which is the route just before Mt. Silver.
Now, here's my entire collection (ordered by descending strength):

After that, I was pretty sure that I hit an impasse (even though I ended up being wrong)—I figured I should start fighting some gym leaders, starting with Lt. Surge. Here's the team at this point:       Alkali went to town on his Raichu and Electabuzz, two-shotting both of them with Sludge Bomb. Narayan tanked two Explosions from both of his Electrode. Kurama burned down his Magneton. Easie-peasie—I have a feeling that most of these Kanto gyms are gonna be a breeze. All you need is one type advantage, and you can pretty much destroy their whole team. It's kinda sad. Of course, I eventually realized that I'm supposed to pick up the EXPN Card from some random dude in the Lavender Radio Tower, since I cleared the issue at the Power Plant. I have no idea how the fuck I was supposed to know to talk to this guy, and I have no memory of needing to do so, but whatever. With this, I gain access to the Poké Flute Channel, which I can use to wake up Snorlax back in Vermilion.
Fuchsia CityWhat I wanted: Nothing What I found: Magikarp  The Safari Zone is closed in this game, so the only thing you can actually catch anymore are Magikarp. I didn't even bother catching it—I just chose to burn my encounter while I still technically had it. The lack of a Safari Zone is probably one of my least favorite parts of the game, since there's virtually no excuse for it.
Celadon CityWhat I wanted: Porygon What I got: Porygon  After gambling for several hours, I made 7000 coins from 1000 and simply bought the rest. Please welcome our newest member: Quadcore. Like I said before: Porygon is my favorite Pokémon, which essentially earns him a free spot on the team. I'm boxing Madam for now, even though she's been pretty useful. Porygon starts out at level 20, so it has a lot of training to do, but I think I have a pretty good idea of what I want it to become.
Vermilion CityWhat I wanted: Snorlax What I caught: Snorlax  A scary level 50, I was fortunately able to catch her in two Ultra Balls without even having to put it to sleep. Snorlax is actually extremely OP in this game, so I don't wanna use her, but she's holding Leftovers, which is one of my favorite held items in the game. That gives me two, as well, since you can actually find Leftovers in a wastebasket in Celadon City. I think it's the only wastebasket across the entire fucking series that actually has something inside of it. Anyway, the Snorlax was blocking Diglett's Cave, which was the only way to reach Pewter City and Viridian City—so now that it's freed up, I may as well head out for those places.
Diglett's CaveWhat I wanted: Nothing What I caught: Diglett  I'm not much of a Diglett fan, but that's the only Pokémon available here, so whatever.
Pewter CityWhat I wanted: Rapidash What I found: Nothing There is only one Pokémon available in Pewter City, and it involves an in-game trade. Some dude wants to trade his Rapidash for your Gloom—but since I've already burned every single route that has Oddish and Gloom on it, I won't be able to get that Rapidash any time soon. I also found an old man who gave me a Rainbow Wing. This is the item I need to gain access to the Tin Tower back in Johto, where I can try to catch a Gastly (and eventually fight Ho-Oh much later).
Tin TowerWhat I wanted: Gastly What I caught: Gastly  Blair was a Gastly, and she was the first Pokémon to die in this relatively death-filled run. Most of my deaths have been the result of stupidity and irresponsibility on my part, so catching this Gastly at one of the final areas kinda felt like making peace with them all. Since the Gastly was at such a low level, I couldn't weaken it with any of my moves, and I never brought along Eeylops for this—so, I just had to chuck a few balls. I tossed three Poké Balls, and they all broke out without even shaking once. Then I decided to toss a Friend Ball as a peace offering (it's a ball that has no special modifiers, but instantly boosts a Pokémon's friendship rating to 200/255, assuming you successfully catch with it). It shook three times and stayed in the ball. With that, Johto is nearly complete. The only area that remains here is Silver Cave, the final dungeon.
Route 3 - East of Pewter What I wanted: Ekans, Arbok What I found: Zubat  Laaame. That was my last shot at getting my hands on an Ekans/Arbok, too. Ah well.
Mt. MoonWhat I wanted: Paras, Clefairy What I found: Paras  I have five different Bug-type families—one more, and I'll be able to start my own Bug-type gym. This is actually a very nice encounter, though. This will help me make something useful out of Rosalie. Remember her? She was my Smeargle that I tried (and failed, hard) at teaching Transform. But with a Paras, I can help her learn the move Spore, which is probably the second best move that I can actually have her Sketch. That'll come later, but that's definitely looking like a sexy option right about now. I also forgot that the next rival fight takes place in here. Silver's getting pretty strong, but not strong enough to put a dent on my team (okay, except for the Donphan incident, but not this time).
Viridian CityWhat I wanted: Nothing What I found: Poliwag  The only Pokémon available here are Poliwag, Poliwhirl, and Magikarp. Needless to say, I didn't bother.
Route 22 - East of Viridian What I wanted: Ponyta What I found: Spearow  Not a very exciting route.
Pallet TownWhat I wanted: Shellder What I found: Shellder  I only wanted to catch a Shellder because it's the only thing I haven't caught yet when it comes to fishing, not including Staryu (which I will eventually), Corsola (which is my least favorite Water-type anyway), and Horsea (which I already caught in Blue). And hey, I caught one. Neat. I probably won't use it, of course, but it's nice catching something new every once in awhile. Here are the only remaining areas in Kanto: Routes 1, 2, 19, 20, 21, 28, and Cinnabar Island. Some of the Pokémon I wanted in some of these areas are only available during the day, I stopped here.

With Capulet dead, not only does that leave me out of a Cut user—I also have to teach somebody Flash. I tried Ocellus (my new Tentacool), but he doesn't learn it. Eeylops (my Noctowl) does, though, and I'll be able to use his trusty Hypnosis to catch whatever cool things I find north of Lavender Town. I wanted to take care of the Cycling Road route west of Celadon and Fuchsia City first, though, since there's a particular Pokémon I wanted to catch there that's more common during the day. Speaking of Celadon City, Porygon is available here, but I need 9999 Game Corner coins to get it. It's my favorite Pokémon of all time, I can't just not go for it—so, for several hours between performing productive tasks in the game, I spent a lot of time intermittently gambling, stopping whenever I felt I made a decent gain. The slot machines are actually easier to game than you'd think, and I had a pretty decent rhythm going.
Route 17 - West of Celadon What I wanted: Slugma What I caught: Slugma  I don't have any particular desire to use this Pokémon. I just think it's interesting, because it's one of the only Pokémon introduced in Generation II that is only available in Kanto—plus, it's still kind of cool for what it is. I'm glad I caught one, especially since I've never actually seen one in the wild before. Now, time to stop dilly-dallying and head to the Power Plant.
Rock TunnelWanted to catch: Cubone, Marowak, Kangaskhan, Machop, Machoke, Geodude What I found: Onix  As you can see, I wanted to catch just about any other Pokémon in this fucking cave—but I had to go and find one of the only two things I didn't want to see at all. How cool would it have been to use a Cubone? I love Cubone. Not this time, though. Didn't bother catching it, obviously, since I already have a (well-trained but retired) Onix. After this point, all of Kanto's interesting encounters kinda go down the shitter.
Route 10What I wanted: ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOTHINGWhat I got: Goldeen  This route sucks. In Silver, these are literally the only Pokémon available: Rattata, Raticate, Spearow, Fearow, Magikarp, Goldeen, and Seaking. Notice something? Not only is every single one of these Pokémon available in droves across the entire game, I also happen to own every single one of them. I didn't have the Pokédex entry for Goldeen, but I did catch its evolved form. How incredibly boring. In Gold, there's at least a chance to catch a Mankey, and Crystal, of course, adds a ton of interesting shit. Silver got the shaft this time.
Route 10What I wanted: Electabuzz What I found: Voltorb  I already have one; didn't bother catching this one.
Cerulean CityWhat I wanted: Staryu What I found: Krabby  After stopping by at the Power Plant, I was sent on a mission to receive a missing machine part that'll cause the plant to start generating power once again. Then I can start taking the Magnet Train back to Johto and stuff. West of the plant is Cerulean City, where I was eventually able to find the part, which was thrown in the pool at the gym by the last remaining Team Rocket member (who doesn't even realize that Team Rocket has disbanded and speaks in broken English). It was in this gym that I was able to fish for another Staryu attempt that night, but I just found another Krabby instead. No thanks.
Route 4 - West of Cerulean What I wanted: Jigglypuff, Ekans What I caught: Jigglypuff  Finally, something cool. I wanted to use a Jigglypuff since the beginning, but it might be too little too late at this point in the game. Still, it's a pretty rare encounter, and I don't mind catching one at all.
Route 24 - North of Cerulean What I wanted: Oddish, Abra, Venonat What I caught: Venonat  I was looking for an Oddish because I'm still on the verge of finding out that I can't get evolutionary stones. In the end, what I ended up finding ended up being better anyways. Beedrill, Scyther, Shuckle, Venonat. If this keeps up, I'll be turning full Bug Trainer.
Route 25What I wanted: Oddish, Abra What I caught: Venomoth  Yeah, no joke. I guess that instantly invalidates the Venonat that I just caught? I wouldn't know; I still have to look up their learnsets. It was shortly after this catch that I found out about the evolutionary stones thing. Fuck me.
Route 5What I wanted: Abra What I caught: Bellsprout  Apparently, the game thinks I deserve a third chance with one of these things. All right, then.
Route 16What I wanted: Grimer, Muk, Murkrow What I found: Grimer  Just one thing I needed to do before taking my break—clear up the two routes above and below Cycling Road. I didn't catch anything here. The Grimer I found ran away before I could successfully catch it. Oops.
Route 18What I wanted: Grimer, Muk, Murkrow What I caught: Grimer I caught this one, though. Yay.

Lavender TownThis area doesn't have any Pokémon in it, either—nor does the Lavender Radio Tower—but I was able to pay respects to all my deceased Pokémon at the Soul House. Fifteen deaths.
Route 12Wanted to catch: Qwilfish, Tentacool What I caught: Tentacool Cthulha died in such a stupid way, so I really don't mind getting to use another Tentacool. This is also the route where I can finally pick up the Super Rod, which means I can head back to Johto and cover the last few areas that I've been saving all this time for this one moment—Cherrygrove City and Dragon's Den.
Cherrygrove CityWanted to catch: Staryu What I caught: Krabby God fucking dammit. I didn't even actually catch it—I just ran away. At level 40, the Krabby almost assuredly knows Guillotine, which can instantly kill any of my party members. Definitely not even worth it. As I would later find out, I wouldn't even be able to evolve a Staryu even if I caught it, but it still kinda sucks.
Dragon's DenWanted to catch: Dratini, Dragonair What I caught: Magikarp Sorry, Flee—it seems that the Dragonite Gods have not smiled upon me. It just wasn't meant to be. But that's okay, because the Magikarp Gods have much more clout anyway. It's level 40, so even if it evolves, it'll be piss useless because it won't learn any good moves. But I caught it anyway and named it Clair. The last remaining areas in Johto are Tin Tower and Silver Cave.
Route 13What I wanted: Chansey, Nidorina, Nidorino, Noctowl What I caught: Nidorina  Back in Kanto, I made it over to the infamous Chansey Routes. There are three bordering routes—13, 14, and 15—that each have a 1% chance of finding a Chansey. If I were to find one, I also have the option of trading it for an Aerodactyl, the only fossil Pokémon available in Gen II (but I'd rather just keep the Chansey). Needless to say, I did not find one here. I'm okay with a Nidorina, though. Since B and G both died stupidly, I appreciate having been given an (undeserved) third chance with this species. In keeping with the theme of naming them single letters (after the speedrunning practice of doing so), I named her J.
Route 14What I wanted: Chansey, Nidorino, Noctowl What I found: Quagsire  Keyword "found." I didn't catch it. It ran away. Fuck.
Route 15What I wanted: Chansey, Nidorino, Noctowl What I found: Noctowl  All right, no Chansey for me. That's actually fine, though—I've always wanted to catch a Hoothoot or Noctowl anyway, so it's about time. It knows some pretty great moves, like Hypnosis and Reflect, so I'm definitely not against using him to help catch more Pokémon.
Route 11What I wanted: Magnemite What I caught: Rattata  Sigh. Pretty bad route, honestly—the only other thing available here is Drowzee, which is one of my least favorite Pokémon in general. This will be the last Rattata that I catch for this entire run—if I see any more repeats, I'm just gonna run away from them.
Back in Vermilion City, I decided it probably wouldn't hurt to do a little bit of training at the gym. I wasn't planning on fighting Surge just yet—before I fight any leaders, I want to take care of the Power Plant issue first. I was just gonna fight the gym trainers, that's all. The trainers here are all very low level, so I thought it would be easy—and then something had to go and happen. There's a cut bush blocking Surge's gym, so I took Capulet the Weepinbell along. I could technically just use Surf, as well, but since I'm saving my Vermilion City encounter for Snorlax, I didn't want to take the risk of encountering something useless in the water. This was also before I discovered how stupidly difficult it is to get evolutionary stones in this game, so right now, I'm thinking, "Capulet needs to gain some levels before he becomes a Victreebel." So I use him against the first gym trainer: a Juggler named Horton. He used four Pokémon—or, more specifically, four Electrode. They are all significantly lower leveled than Capulet, and Electrode has the weakest Self-Destruct in the game, so I wasn't too worried. The first Electrode blew up on the very first turn, though. Capulet survived, taking about 70%. That's pretty scary, but the odds of the second Electrode blowing up immediately afterwards are pretty dang low, so I took a chance and used Sleep Powder. It missed, but thankfully, there wasn't a second blow-up. I tried Sleep Powder again, and it missed once more. Now, I'm getting a little pissed. Still no Self-Destruct, but my fucking god. This Weepinbell is easily the weakest and most useless thing I've ever used. You may recall me having issues with him earlier, but he just never got better. The third Sleep Powder worked, but it didn't matter—the third Electrode finally did Capulet in. After healing, he proceeded to miss with Sleep Powder three times straight before getting hit by Self-Destruct and dying. I don't even feel that bad, really—he was an absolutely good-for-nothing Pokémon who was obviously very miserable to be on the team, and now he's out of that misery. Had he hit with Sleep Powder just ONCE on the turns that he absolutely needed to, everything would've been fine—but no. Even in death, however, Capulet is still inconveniencing me. Since he's, you know, dead, I technically shouldn't be able to use Cut now when I exit the gym. Because that doesn't make any sense. Other people treat those rulings differently, but personally, I don't use the dead corpses of my Pokémon for specific HMs, even if I absolutely need them. If I'm ever at a point where I need to use an HM to progress, I don't have a single living Pokémon that can learn the move, and I don't have any remaining encounters, then my options are to either take the L and forfeit the run, or grind for a suitable shiny Pokémon. But, yeah. I don't have to worry about that, because I can just Surf my way out with Peckham. It just sucks, because I'm technically risking a minimum of two tiles worth of potential encounters—if I encounter ANYTHING in the water, that'll prevent me from catching Snorlax later, so that ended up being potentially disastrous. I didn't encounter anything, though. That's nice, but now I have to re-teach Cut to Alkali. That's not so nice. Next stop is the Power Plant.

As I made my way to Kanto via the SS Aqua, I was reminded once again about how fucking awesome this game's music is: When I made it to Vermilion City, I decided to explore the whole region as much as I possibly could before I actually fought any gym leaders (and it actually is possible to explore the entire region). I proceeded to do lots and lots of shit, and I don't remember all of it, but I'll try my best. The first thing I did was retire Shuckie. Sad, I know. He's been amazing, but I honestly will not need him again for a very long time, and training him requires me to sap experience points from my other party members, so he's gotta go. He's still a champion. On top of Prithvi's absence, this left me with only four party members, so I momentarily recruited Madam the Girafarig to help round out the squad. Though they're still respected, Peckham and Narayan have definitely succeeded Verbette and December in terms of usefulness, so I won't be bringing them back unless the situation calls for it.
Route 6 - North of Vermilion Wanted to catch: Abra, Magnemite, Oddish What I caught: Meowth  Meowth isn't all that bad of a catch, despite the fact that I wasn't really shooting for it. It learns Pay Day, which allows me to grind for money, especially if I'm having him hold the Amulet Coin. Might come in handy for some really expensive item down the line. Magnemite would've been all-around the best catch. I need an Oddish to get a Leaf Stone later, but I'll have several more opportunities to catch one. Not catching an Abra is fine, in all honesty—I can't fully evolve it anyway. It's just kinda hype when it happens.
Saffron CityNo Pokémon are available here, sadly.
Route 7 - West of Saffron Wanted to catch: Vulpix, Murkrow, Houndour What I caught: Vulpix Say hello to the newest official party member. His name is Kurama. WAY cooler than any of the Dark-types available here. Since Quill's death, my team has been totally bereft of any Fire-types, and since Ninetales has probably my second favorite Fire-type line in the game, I figured it could fill that void pretty well—and, for the most part, he has. For having the lowest stats on the team, he's actually quite powerful, and packs a mean Flamethrower. There's one problem, though—and this applies to every Pokémon I've ever planned to evolve with an evolutionary stone during this run: It's not possible. In Pokémon Gold & Silver, there is only one way to get evolutionary stones. In Kanto, you can meet Bill's grandfather at the Sea Cottage, north of Cerulean City. He'll ask you to show him a few rare (or not so rare) Pokémon, and for each one, he'll reward you with the corresponding evolutionary stone. Show him a Lickitung, and he'll give you an Everstone. Show him an Oddish, and he'll give you the Leaf Stone. Show him a Staryu, and he'll give you the Water Stone. Show him a Pichu, and he'll give you the Thunder Stone. Show him a Vulpix, and he'll give you the Fire Stone. You can get one of each, but ONLY one of each. This is the part that kills me, though—you can't just show him any of those Pokémon at any time. You have to show him each Pokémon in that specific order. Right now, I'm in a position where he's asking to see a Pokémon with a long tongue (Lickitung), but because I wasn't at all prepared for this nonsense, I've already burned the one route where Lickitung can actually be found. Now, there is actually no way for me to get ANY of the stones at all. Can you blame me, though? Route 44 is the only Lickitung route, and in this game, it has a 15% chance of appearing. Since this is a nuzlocke, I'm pretty much fucked. On the bright side, this is one of the many things about Gen II that Pokémon Crystal fixed—they actually added more methods of obtaining the stones. That doesn't do much for me right now, though. Not only am I unable to evolve my Vulpix, I also won't be able to evolve my Weepinbell, my Poliwhirl, or the Staryu that I want to catch. So bad. By the time I reached the Sea Cottage, however, I had already trained Kurama up to level 45 (from 18), so at this point, I still consider him a pretty valuable part of the team. He hasn't really done much to disappoint me yet. So I guess I'll let him stick around. The fact that he'll never be a Ninetales really sucks, though. This is something I'll have to keep in mind for future runs. Though, technically, there's still one way for me to catch a Lickitung. If I were to find a shiny one out in the wild, I could invoke Shiny Clause and catch that. That's obviously not very practical, though. There's also a pretty well-known but extremely cheesy method of obtaining the strongest Pokémon on each route, which can be exploited easily in nuzlockes. It involves taking a Pokémon that is one level below the strongest Pokémon (level-wise) in the area. Then just use a Repel and keep running around until you find the thing. Since the Repel prevents all weaker Pokémon from showing up, you're guaranteed to find the highest-level thing possible. Fortuitously, wild Lickitung can be as high as level 26, making it the strongest Pokémon on the route. NORMALLY, doing this is highly frowned upon in nuzlocke challenges, because some people argue that it defeats the entire point, and I kind of agree. But in this particular instance, since you NEED to get a fucking Lickitung just to evolve certain Pokémon, I honestly wouldn't have any qualms exploiting this method. But just for this. Or, I guess you could just play Crystal where shit actually makes sense and you can get as many Water Stones as you want. But that's not out on the virtual console yet, so we'll have to wait for that. But, oh well—Sorry, Kurama. You're still awesome.
Route 8 - East of Saffron Wanted to catch: Abra, Kadabra, Noctowl, Haunter What I caught: Meowth (again) c'mon game i just fucking caught one of these aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa My chances of catching something cooler were 65%, or 70% if you include Vulpix.
I'll post these in digestible chunks.

http://nintendoeverything.com/switchs-4-0-0-update-now-allows-for-gamecube-controller-support-with-wii-u-gamecube-adapter/Here’s something very neat about Switch’s new firmware update. If you’ve installed the new 4.0.0 update, you can get GameCube controllers to work with the console. You just need the Wii U GameCube Adapter that Nintendo sold back in the day.
Once you’ve plugged the adapter in, you can pair the GameCube controllers to your Switch in the main menu. On the controller settings page, press L+R as you normally would. And that’s it! It should be working when you’re back on the main menu, and can work with games like Fire Emblem Warriors.
The only issue is that the GameCube controller doesn’t have a left Z button – there’s only the one Z button on the right, and only has a start button, so you can’t go back to the main menu. But hey: maybe GameCube controller support could be brought back for the eventual Smash Bros. Switch or theoretical GameCube Virtual Console? this is pretty big

Psycho-Pass (Production I.G, 2012, completed) Finally, I've gotten around to watching the first anime ever recommended to me on Sep7agon—after giving a very long list of prerequisites for what I don't want to see in the show. And apparently, this is it. This is the show that contains absolutely nothing that I would hate for a single frame—though, of course, that's not actually true. The best thing I can say about it is that it's watchable—and, to its credit, I was pleasantly surprised over the fact that, for a seinen, I don't recall seeing any fanservice whatsoever—maybe three seconds worth at the most, and I blocked it out. But other than that, there's honestly not much else worth praising the show over. Subpar animation. Boring plot that's both predictable and kinda stupid if you really think about it. Very low character development. It definitely got better after the show lost its silly episodic format, but as an overall experience, the show failed to captivate me, and after 22 episodes, I felt relieved to be done with it. 5/10
Tiger & Bunny (Sunrise, 2011, three episodes) Japan did a poll awhile back where they ranked anime to find the best of all time—and THIS, of all things, was ranked #1. I can only imagine the voters were comprised mostly of greasy fujoshis and other undesirables, because I cannot fucking handle this shit. It's not so much the show itself, but more the idea that it's the BEST SHOW EVER, according to Japan, that makes my skin crawl. It's hard to be fair and objective when I'm looking at the show from that pedestal, so I'm not even gonna bother. Point is, I didn't like it. I especially hated the female characters, but that's a given at this point. 4/10
Space Dandy (Bones, 2014, two-and-a-half episodes) 1/10

Has Crystal even been hinted at/confirmed?
https://daily.pokecommunity.com/2017/09/22/what-happened-to-pokemon-crystals-eshop-release/"Patches used to allow Virtual Console to work with Crystal have been found in the app code for the Virtual Console versions of Gold and Silver, suggesting that the release of Crystal is imminent:" beyond that, not really—i'd say the writing's on the wall, but mostly, i'm just going off the fact that there's very little reason for them not to release it eventually, and i'd be very surprised if they never did

Verb I don't think
It doesn't matter what you think.
lmao you know I'm right
This would have been the first time you've ever been right about anything, assuming you were, and perhaps the only time you'll ever be. Is this the hill you want to die on?

So, I had this idea prior to challenging the Elite 4 to try to make this run more interesting for Kanto, but since the Time Capsule doesn't actually work the way I hoped it would, I'm gonna save it for when Pokémon Crystal comes out instead.
Basically, upon reaching Vermilion City, a new extension to the rules would be added that would allow for alternative encounters involving the Time Capsule. In these games, it's possible to send Pokémon from the first generation over to the second—you just need to trade over something that actually existed during Gen I, and you could carry your team from Red, Blue, or Yellow over to the next gen.
In doing this, the Gen I Pokémon you carry over may be carrying some kind of rare or valuable item that cannot be obtained through any other means. Somehow, I never took much advantage of this feature as a kid, even though I would've had a lot of fun with it—so I came up with this idea.
Basically, after beating the Elite 4, my Silver challenge would be put on hold. Then, I would start a new challenge with the same exact ruleset on a fresh Pokémon Yellow file (or Red, or Blue. Doesn't really matter). Once I've completed that Yellow challenge, I could resume playing Silver and make my way through Kanto.
This is where the rule extension comes in. Basically, for every area in Silver's Kanto that has a parallel in Yellow's Kanto, I can either walk around in the grass and encounter something normally, OR, alternatively, I can invoke Time Capsule Clause.
This is a clause that allows me, for every new area, to trade with my previously completed Pokémon Yellow file. This will serve as my one encounter, but the interesting thing is this—the only thing I'm allowed to trade is the Pokémon I found on that specific route in my previous file. So, for example—if, in my Yellow nuzlocke, I found a Magnemite on Route 9, I can THEN sacrifice my one encounter on Route 9 in my Silver nuzlocke, once I actually reach that route. From there, I won't be able to get anything else as normal.
It's totally fair, too, since Time Capsule trades are indeed trades—I'm not gaining Pokémon through this method. I'm losing one and then gaining one. This idea not only promotes variety, but also gives me an opportunity to use a feature I overlooked as a kid, and potentially use some Pokémon I otherwise would never be able to in a nuzlocke, like Golem, Alakazam, Machamp, and Gengar, because I don't typically allow trade evolutions.
This was a great idea, and I was prepared to do it immediately after beating the Elite 4—but unfortunately, it hinged upon the idea that I only needed one 3DS with both Yellow and Silver on it to actually use the Time Capsule. As it turns out, you do in fact need two 3DSs with two separately-purchased copies of the two games loaded onto them.
That's not how it was advertised at all, but whatever.
I'm such a shill for Pokémon anyway, that when Crystal comes out, I'll probably end up buying another 3DS. I kinda want a new one anyway, and I'll purchase Crystal on that machine while using my Yellow file on my old device. I'm making this happen, but it's just a matter of time before the game actually comes out.
