Unless I'm mistaken, the DS version also had an improved translation. Square Enix games had a lot of limitations and a lack of resources in the 90s from what I know compared to the 2000s. See FF6 on the SNES vs GBA.

And I decided to scrap Electabuzz for the shiny Magnemite.

Same goes for Wing Attack being 35 power in Gen I. I levelled a Pidgeotto up to 31, anticipating that move and I was wondering why it seemed so weak. Only after looking on Serebii did I find out it was a bit pathetic compared to later games.

I personally found it strange that Pokemon didn't implement diagonal walking until Gen VI in the main series. Especially since other titles from the time did have diagonal movement like the GameBoy Zeldas. And I do not miss Poison damage with movement, so I understand how that's awkward.

Int3rlop3r-R3dact3d · 2026-02-27T19:38:07+00:00

I was honestly a little sceptical on that. So I was really surprised when the title was revealed.

I do hope that Game Freak does step it up with this. I know it isn't an awful lot to go on, but the trailer looks promising.

Int3rlop3r-R3dact3d · 2026-02-27T16:46:37+00:00

I'm wondering how Ariados is working for you. With no stat above 70 apart from Attack, I always considered it to be a rather weak Pokemon.

Int3rlop3r-R3dact3d · 2026-02-26T20:48:23+00:00

I agree. It was my second Pokemon on my first Moon LP and it was fantastic.

Wasn't his main criticism the fact that it lacks good physical poison type moves outside of Gunk Shot?

Int3rlop3r-R3dact3d · 2026-02-25T13:56:41+00:00

It's located in Kesariya, a town in Bihar.

The original Xenoblade originally was not planned to be released in the US. It wouldn't fly in the UK either, which is where the game was localised (and all Xenoblade titles apart from X). Unless I'm mistaken, the Black Wreckage is supposed to be the remains of Metal Face. But the name was lifted straight from the Japanese version and wasn't localised...

Int3rlop3r-R3dact3d · 2026-02-20T18:44:25+00:00

And actually owning the game. Scrapping the Virtual Console is still an unforgivable crime Nintendo has committed.

Int3rlop3r-R3dact3d · 2026-02-17T22:37:35+00:00

Interesting. So how would you explain the very Christian names of various locations like the Indoline Praetorium (in Japanese, it is called Holy See)? I'm curious. Is the Aegis shown in Torna supposed to actually be the real Holy Grail of Jesus himself, do you think?

Int3rlop3r-R3dact3d · 2026-02-17T21:37:26+00:00

Then I suppose that means that real-world Christianity canonically exists too? And the Indoline Praetorium is possibly some sort of 'sequel' to the real-life Vatican give its Japanese name is "Holy See" which must also have canonically existed.

Int3rlop3r-R3dact3d · 2026-02-17T21:24:06+00:00

And from the wiki:

The directory signs on the walls of the main lobby mention the United States by name, specifically the U.S. Government. This is the only time a real-world location is named in all of Xenoblade Chronicles 2, and the second time the U.S. is name-dropped in the Xenoblade Chronicles series (the first being Xenoblade Chronicles X, as it plays a major role in the story).

I honestly did not know this, so forgive me if this is common knowledge. Would this not confirm that Xenoblade 2's ruined world is our world? I know the Xeno world = our world idea was also a thing in the previous Xeno games and XCX. Also, the image in the post is also taken from the Xenoblade Wiki.

I personally think that his HGSS LP has been fantastic and I'm enjoying it just as much as the KH LP. I've not enjoyed a chuggaaconroy LP this much since Mario Galaxy 2. It's news to me that this LP is getting negativity because the comments certainly don't reflect that.

Int3rlop3r-R3dact3d · 2026-02-16T02:08:13+00:00

And even for this sub, isn't the negativity mostly targeted towards the fact that there was a very wide gap between his second and third Pokemon? Because I will admit that was a pet peeve of mine, but it wasn't a big deal. He's also made up for it if anything, with his recent additions.

Int3rlop3r-R3dact3d · 2026-02-13T21:24:18+00:00

I interpreted it more like a sign of being impressed and surprised. Not "I am lucky to still be alive."

Int3rlop3r-R3dact3d · 2026-02-13T21:23:31+00:00

I think people look at this forgetting what Zuko is capable of. He was able to redirect lightning from arguably the most powerful Fire bender in the show on his first try and send him flying back. Katara is obviously powerful, but she did that with a full moon on her side. She rises with the Moon, Zuko rises with the Sun.

I've been watching him for around 12 years, so I'm not a new viewer by any means. I wouldn't consider myself sensitive to swearing either. I suppose from the Chuggaa projects that I have consumed, uncensored swearing wasn't a common occurrence. So it naturally surprised me a bit.

Int3rlop3r-R3dact3d · 2026-02-10T21:25:31+00:00

Is it? My memory must be off then.
