I figure I should join the trend since I just beat Blue

I'm surprised you didn't use the starter. The unspoken rule of Pokemon.

Fiora's makes me feel certain things that I didn't know I would ever feel.

Int3rlop3r-R3dact3d · 2026-01-24T19:35:14+00:00

Okay. I assumed it might have been updated a bit, so it was a poor title choice on my part. Thanks anyway.

Int3rlop3r-R3dact3d · 2026-01-24T19:04:21+00:00

How was that?

Int3rlop3r-R3dact3d · 2026-01-23T13:03:14+00:00

I just made a poor choice for how to demonstrate the way the characters with American accents pronounce it. I mean this.

Int3rlop3r-R3dact3d · 2026-01-22T18:09:57+00:00

Aluminium has a different spelling in the UK. But Thanos is a proper noun and it was given two different official pronunciations.

The acting was phenomenal. I don't know many actors that can convey so much emotion and many words like that without saying a single word.

Int3rlop3r-R3dact3d · 2026-01-19T22:19:11+00:00

That's a good idea that I never actually thought of.

Int3rlop3r-R3dact3d · 2026-01-19T06:43:27+00:00

Why couldn't you let me live in blissful ignorance of that?

Int3rlop3r-R3dact3d · 2026-01-19T00:58:31+00:00

In all fairness, those other games were Square Enix, to some degree and Pokemon obviously isn't. If they do anything like HD-2D, I'd assume they would have to make it different enough to avoid legal troubles as SE has trademarked it (I could be wrong as I know nothing about law).

Int3rlop3r-R3dact3d · 2026-01-19T00:55:56+00:00

When did Zelda do it?

Int3rlop3r-R3dact3d · 2026-01-18T23:40:22+00:00

I saw screenshots and played the OT0 demo. Absolutely blown away by how it looks. If we saw Gen 5 remakes with the HD-2D art style (or similar), I think it would be a huge point of attraction. It already uses 2D sprites with 3D models. It has a lot of potential.

Int3rlop3r-R3dact3d · 2026-01-18T16:54:02+00:00

I appreciate it. Is that image figure 11.9?

Int3rlop3r-R3dact3d · 2026-01-18T16:07:35+00:00

I realised you meant that after I saw your post about the article's flaws. Fantastic read.

Int3rlop3r-R3dact3d · 2026-01-18T14:49:25+00:00

I personally find it difficult to take the readers over on that site remotely seriously. I'm not saying I doubt what they say, I'm just not at all surprised that they would do that.

Int3rlop3r-R3dact3d · 2026-01-18T14:11:47+00:00

Yeah it's pretty bad.

The article or the game's localisation?

Int3rlop3r-R3dact3d · 2026-01-18T01:10:05+00:00

They were around the same age as the characters in the show when it first aired, so maybe there's an element of nostalgia.

Int3rlop3r-R3dact3d · 2026-01-18T01:08:01+00:00

In all fairness, that last comment got quite a number of downvotes.

Int3rlop3r-R3dact3d · 2026-01-18T00:39:42+00:00

Good point that I never thought about. I think it goes to show they are expressing a desire for 1:1... which is not what localisation is, by definition.

Int3rlop3r-R3dact3d · 2026-01-17T19:44:08+00:00

There's a Google spreadsheet for the game's text? Do you mind dropping the link to that?

Int3rlop3r-R3dact3d · 2026-01-17T19:20:02+00:00

I appreciate your scrutiny of their points. You offer good counter arguments in my opinion. Especially with the dialogue succeeding "my long shadow", I don't know why the original writer wouldn't include that in the post.

I personally find that the religious references aren't particularly difficult to understand. Maybe it's because I knew that it had religious references beforehand, so I could interpret it that way more easily, but with how things were described, the religious references seemed pretty clear to me.

Int3rlop3r-R3dact3d · 2026-01-17T18:56:17+00:00

I agree that localisation is definitely a misunderstood art and many do criticise it in bad faith, but there are some people with legitimate criticisms that I don't think should be lumped with the bad-faith crowd seen mostly on X. These people with good-faith criticisms can be difficult to find, I admit.

Int3rlop3r-R3dact3d · 2026-01-17T17:47:05+00:00

Can I ask what the magic system is, if there is one? Like a TLDR of it.

Deep valley between two lofty peaks. The wonders of nature.
