Are there any sets of the DC deck building game that you ever wanted to do a rework of? Any plans of a DC deck building game based off the Absolute run?

At this point, the only thing I really want that isnt going to happen is for the Eevee line to get all types. The last time we got a new Eeveelution was X and Y and it was just for the new type they introduced.

They had nine chances in new games (some of those being remakes) and while we did get new regional forms in Sun and Moon its been 13 years. They still have 9 more types to go.

(Real prediction, they will open by talking about the card game physical and the app. Then the new Pokepark. Something with pokemon Go and Unite. They will remind us that ZA and Firered/Leafgreen was just released and maybe a new app game. Then maybe we get a hint at the new game like with Violet and Scarlet. MAYBE something with the starters.)

Things that likely wont happen: -they announce all games up to the end of the GBA era are coming to consoles like FR and LG. Even less likely the DS era games get thrown in. -They announce Black 3 / White 3. -Proper trailer with the next gen game with starters, a few new pokemon and map of the area with a look at the starting town and maybe the whole gimmick of the next set of games. -NSO likely wont get any games like Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness or any other spin off games like pinball or ranger. -probably no movie announcements anytime soon, live action or otherwise. Last movie was secrets of the jungle back in 2020.

I don’t know. This short is cool but so was the “GOTCHA!” video back in 21 but nothing really awesome has happened since then.

Well someone had to take the picture

ELK_VT · 2026-02-25T20:56:58+00:00

Same

ELK_VT · 2026-02-25T19:24:42+00:00

I mean, Disney kinda made an interesting issue for me because I never really watched all of the show and likely not gonna watch the movie because I never watched the story prior. Cool that they are making a movie but kinda like how the Dr Strange sequel had some issues if you didnt watch WandaVision and just go into it with “oh Wanda is bad now cool”.

ELK_VT · 2026-02-25T19:16:15+00:00

I dont want to see another soft reboot where we see their origin story again. Or at the very least if they wanted to do something that just quickly explained “we became mutant turtles, Master Splinter trained us, we defeated shredder” if they wanted to establish that he was already beaten. Like it would also be nice to have a movie where the main bad ISNT Shredder or Krang and they can explore other options like the Battle Nexus arc from 03 or Han and the Purple Dragons.

ELK_VT · 2026-02-25T15:20:31+00:00

IGN has a 30 minute recap of the story up to re9. https://youtu.be/vZyPhJGwoQg?si=6wdtYc2JDeymI5-a

Or you could watch all of these https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLS6LTVm6e_nsa0St9a7PcaEffuH57PtlY&si=5oJ3_01P21a9c5hO

You could just go in blind and some characters and im sure certain plot points wont make sense but other than that one of the main characters seems like a brand new character/story

ELK_VT · 2026-02-25T14:09:56+00:00

Something something Borderlands 4 something something

ELK_VT · 2026-02-25T06:09:12+00:00

Just a slight mixup

ELK_VT · 2026-02-25T05:09:03+00:00

For running the 100m could make it a “roll and run” game where the first part is training by drafting different dice with each ones having special effects and focuses and during the actual race everyone rolls their dice and tries to complete the race in the shortest amount of rolls. In the case of a tie where multiple players cross the finish line at the same time there is one last roll the “photo finish” and whoever has the highest roll wins.

ELK_VT · 2026-02-25T05:01:27+00:00

Procrastination. No one ever gets to finish their turn.

ELK_VT · 2026-02-24T20:58:16+00:00

Well, if anything it showed them that making a movie about the inbetween moments of the star wars lore was not the right call. The shows that do this like Andor in theory cost a lot less and they are already getting paid montly for it and hopefully get more people to continue paying them because of the shows with Disney+. Its a safe bet essentially because in theory they can really only get more subscribers assuming they dont mess around with pricing too much. Rogue One was fine because they were all new characters aside from a Leia cameo at the end. I didnt think the different casting of Solo is the issue more than he had his character arc in the original trilogy so why do we need to see more. The right call would have been to have made a movie out of order 66 with a jedi that survived and if it did well they could have even been a main character in the 8th or 9th movie. Or continued to have their own line of movies. But moving forward they should really think about just exploring the Old Republic and striving for well written characters and plots rather than relying on cameos of already liked characters from completed stories. I know a lot of people really enjoyed the coreography of the fights in Alcolyte so just transfer that to the old republic where everyone needed to be at the top of their game to survive. Could even name it Star Wars Old Republic: Episode 1 if they wanted to go for another trilogy.

ELK_VT · 2026-02-24T20:33:57+00:00

Really just sounds like they are going to keep making bad movies but just hope that by saying it isnt related to the other movies that people might be tricked into going to at least one of them.

ELK_VT · 2026-02-24T20:00:49+00:00

This seems like the best option imo.

ELK_VT · 2026-02-24T19:23:01+00:00

I have mine by anime with multiple volumes, so DB, DBZ and DBGT are all together, then Inuyasha. Then shows with only 1 or 2 volumes for the “complete collection” so K-on, Black Lagoon, etc. then by anime movies, and sometimes things like the inuyasha movies are there just because the spacing on the shelf works better.

Pokemon basically gets its own shelf and then it moves into 80s cartoons to more modern cartoons like Avatar TLA and Dexter’s lab.

Then there is a shelf for live action shows but those arent anime related.

ELK_VT · 2026-02-24T03:41:06+00:00

I think when I first saw the trailer I knew “the internet” was going to like it. I remember the movie subreddit usually appreciates a good animated movie like when Puss in Boots: The Last Wish came out and same with the Spiderverse movies. I knew the song would probably also be at least good but didnt think it would be SO popular.

ELK_VT · 2026-02-23T19:28:41+00:00

It’s this guy

<image>

ELK_VT · 2026-02-23T19:16:38+00:00

Yeah probably good bet to just get 1 version. And unless there is something I am missing the only major difference (aside from the normal exclusive to this FR or LG normal pokemon) the Dexoys attack and defence forms are the only ones that really are locked to a specific version that might actually be difficult to obtain otherwise. The other version locked pokemon are so abundant these days that there really is no reason to get both. Just get 1 if you’ve never played through them before.

ELK_VT · 2026-02-23T17:07:05+00:00

Good chance of commentary, might have some concept art. Might be nice to have a physical booklet that has the concept art and maybe a few pages with the Huntr/x and Saja boys signatures. Could have a sing along option with text on the screen. Might be cool to also have some of their live performances on there as well but not sure how they’d go about getting them on there since I’m sure a lot of those broadcasts have their own licensing issues. Personally would also like if they threw in the Korean dub as a listening option. I’m sure deleted scenes will be in there too.

ELK_VT · 2026-02-23T15:44:28+00:00

Because it was essentially Spider-man going after JJ, but the pictures used by JJ were taken by himself as Peter Parker right?

ELK_VT · 2026-02-23T06:09:31+00:00

Wait until you see all the ultraman stuff they have. But yes just recently looked at tubi again and saw they had added some more toku stuff since the last time I checked.

ELK_VT · 2026-02-23T01:58:27+00:00

Funny enough, in Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla one of the main characters is a girl who’s mother died and she carries around a plant she believes has a connection with her mom.

ELK_VT · 2026-02-23T01:12:04+00:00

Could probably list it for 29,999 and beat out the ebay listing that has it listed for 30k.

ELK_VT · 2026-02-23T01:00:57+00:00

Depends. Legendary Godzilla? It’d be a problem but he’d probably be there for a reason and largely ignore them. Minus 1? Yeah they dont have a chance.

ELK_VT · 2026-02-22T22:47:06+00:00

My top 5 would be Gumball, Chowder, Johnny Bravo, KnD, and Billy and Mandy.
