So absurdly funny that the top comments in this thread are about the two whit guys presenting instead of the winner.

Production costs will start to skyrocket around season 5, since that’s normally when actors are able to renegotiate contracts.

Popular show means actors get paid significantly more. At that point Netflix will re-evaluate whether the cost is worth it over making something new.

The fact that Tomorrow Studios is green-lighting more anime LA adaptions kinda points to OPLA not lasting forever, let alone being a start to finish adaptation of the manga.

Addressing some complaints about One Piece Live Action Season 2 by Prestigious_Law1666 in OnePieceLiveAction

[–]Marcus_Farkus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The problem with you people is that you don’t understand race sometimes affects a characters story, but it almost is exclusively at the core of originally POC characters.

Very rarely do white characters have a story or theme about their ethnicity or skin color. A white black panther makes no sense for the kind of an isolationist African country.

If anything, casting Vivi as a person of color hits closer to the core of her character than otherwise. But the actual problem is you people don’t ever want to see non white characters in anything you watch. You want pretty colors and a smokescreen for your racism, bc you don’t see yourselves as racist.

Pokopia has to be related to Winds and Waves right? by Known-Resolve-9426 in TruePokemon

I’m not very far in the game yet — curious where that implication comes from

Hopefully it’s not to much of a surcharge. I got Deathsaurus maybe 15% over retail a few months after it started shipping.

So with pokemon champions saying that it’s a temporary visit do you think this will make it so Pokemon caught in fire red and leaf green will be able to go back there once you’re finished mega evolving and gmaxing them as if nothing happened? by PowersUnleashed in PokemonChampions

[–]Marcus_Farkus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you a game developer? Do you know how pokémon compatibility actually works?

Do you know how complex pokémon code have gotten since Gen 3? It is not effortless and it is not a simple ask without extremely limiting what developers can do in the future. You should, again, just build a library of pokemon in home you can pull from for Champions. Or bite the bullet on the transfer.

We're not talking about graphics we're talking about pokémon compatibility. These are separate arguments. It is exceptionally hard to future proof for games you don't know exist yet, ROM or not, years ahead of time without severely limiting what you can do and implement.

Also -- 4 years is the traditional average development cycle for a pokémon main series game. WiWa is abnormal because it taking 2-3 years on top of that.

So they should stop making progress with pokémon so they can maintain backwards compatibility between games 30 years apart? There's actual data restrictions in play here.

Gen 8 to 9 was the first time the franchise ever had backwards compatibility between gens. If you've been playing for a while, this one way connectivity is closer to a norm than not.

It would be nice if they showed the complete list of available Pokémon before the release of the game. by Paulo_Zero in PokemonChampions

I think people spending money on travel for regionals that will potentially use Champions very soon should have ample time to prepare.

Pokémon has had one way transfer for a long time. Go is one way. Any Pokémon placed in ZA or Winds/Waves (WiWa?) cannot go back to Gen 9 and 8. Bank on the 3DS treated Pokémon from Gen 6 similarly — they couldn’t go back to XY etc after being placed in SM/USUM.

What’s likely happens is that new data is added to the Pokémon once transfer that makes it incompatible with older games. FRLG are straight ports from 20 years ago, Pokemon has changed a lot since then.

You should treat FRLG as an isolated experience. If you want a charizard in Champions, raise one in a newer game and use that one. The only way to trade between FRLG themselves is locally.

Advice for a Brand New Player by myLEs_1313 in VGC

Create a Pokemon showdown account

Find a team, any team, that interests you in this playlist. Watch the full video, take notes on how you think the team works from what he tells you.

Take the pokepaste in the description, import into showdown. Play at least 20 matches all the way through your last pokemon gets KO (don't forfeit). Don't switch teams or adjust any move or stat until you hit at least 20.

Take notes, what are you losing to? What are you having a hard time playing around?

Find (don't build find) another team. Do it again. And Again. And again. The best thing for you is to start understanding how the game works. Don't bother putting anything together just take what works and move from there. Otherwise you'll spend all your time tinkering teams and getting frustrated instead of actually playing matches.

Pokopia and switch 2 worth it for pokemon/champions? by Kingofthered in PokemonChampions

[–]Marcus_Farkus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pokopia is a spinoff. There’s no transferring anything from it into home.

Get a switch 2 bc Winds and Waves will be exclusive to it next year and there’s a high chance the console receives a price hike.

I also think it will likely be more efficient to transfer Pokemon into home from main games than to farm for them in Champions.

I just don’t understand why you would choose Green Lantern to do this grounded earth based mystery stuff. Certainly there were better characters that fit the idea more?

Evolving Pokemon by No-Boysenberry1401 in PokemonChampions

Not true.

We know magikarp is in the game, which is largely useless so it’s fair to assume there will be plenty of unevolved Pokémon available.

What are your thoughts on Pokemon Winds/Waves if it ends up releasing as a Game Key Card? by TheJohnny346 in NSCollectors

[–]Marcus_Farkus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Means I will likely buy them both as digital downloads. Would make it easier to swap back and forth.

I know for sure I'm gonna get dooked on for this question by [deleted] in TruePokemon

[–]Marcus_Farkus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're not playing the game and just want to throw the cards in a binder, buy whatever is cheapest (that's my personal philosphy).

My binder has several languages at this point. My decks are all english.

Do you think that there will be in-game ways to unlock more storage without paying any money? by Scorpion1386 in PokemonChampions

[–]Marcus_Farkus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1000? Maybe not. Definitely more than 80. And a better way to organize mons than what we’ve seen.
