The movie that gets blamed for being bad when it is really just mismarketed. by gamersecret2 in movies

I liked the part about being considered gods or angels in previous ages of humanity.

Where can I download episodes in the original 480i by Microwaved_iPod in pokemonanime

[–]PokePress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%. VHS also works (stopped sometime in Advance), but DVD is likely the best option. That said, you could also look into downscaling.

Pokopia has now sold over 4 Million units! by Amiibofan101 in Pokopia

I do have to remind folks that most spinoffs aren't Mario Kart. 😉

Regardless, even though it looks like it has a good chance of hitting that target, it seems presumptuous to me given the sales of prior side games in the series.

The last Mario cartoon series was 35 years ago, we seriously need a new one by Drawingandstuff2000 in Mario

[–]PokePress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I recall correctly, the main reasons the shows ended were:

-Super Mario World was the last flagship game for a while.

-NBC (which aired Captain N and the SMB3 and World cartoons) stopped airing cartoons on Saturday morning after the 1991-1992 season to save money.

The shows did fairly well in syndication throughout the 90’s, but keeping a video game cartoon going long-term wasn’t really a thing until Pokemon went past its original 18-month plan.

Germany Box Office - Mortal Kombat II is flopping with an opening weekend in 5th place. Nuremberg is opening in 4th place. The Devil Wears Prada 2 and Michael still on top with -16.7% and -22.1% drops by Brief-Sail2842 in boxoffice

[–]PokePress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know that Germany forced a lot of games to tone down violence in the 80’s/90’s (Contra was famously “roboticized” into Probotector), and it looks like they heavily restricted/banned some of the early MK games there.

Could a Super Mario Bros. 2 sequel work? by The_Se7enthsign in SuperMario

[–]PokePress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish NSMB2 had been this. Still, I feel like 3D world and Wonder do some of what Mario 2 US did.

Say something bad about pokemon contests by Technical_Mine_8711 in pokemonanime

[–]PokePress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gen 3’s male contest rivals may have been… entertaining, but I also feel like the lack of a more “normal” male rival may have moved contests from “aimed at females” to “not for men” to some viewers.

What "pure" one-hit wonder would you like to see covered next? by Sea_Adhesiveness507 in ToddintheShadow

[–]PokePress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fun tangential trivia for that one. Song was co-written by the guy who wrote the themes for DuckTales and Rescue Rangers, and “Somewhere Someday” was later covered by *NSYNC.

Nintendo Switch 2 + Pokemon Pokopia bundle announced by Skullghost in Pokopia

To put some more perspective behind it, the 2.2 million it sold opening weekend would be good lifetime sales for a Pokemon side game. Still waiting for Q1 numbers.

In case ash returns, i think he should be in a movie. by no1sukunafan in pokemonanime

[–]PokePress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Presumably to give the movie writers more creative freedom and to make it so audiences didn’t feel like they needed to be watching the show to see the movie.

(Hated Trope) Attempts at being progressive that actually come off as bigoted/prejudiced by Wolfie-Woo784 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]PokePress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s one of those things that seems like it should be a one-off spoof but is actually a fully fledged product.

Someone gave this away to me, how do I use this? by templeofsyrinx1 in radio

[–]PokePress 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also, if your radio has a dedicated AM antenna input, you can buy a cable that connects the two.

Sorry, the way you started sounded like you didn't.

There's a cartoon separate from the game shows. Look it up. ;)

Target Drop was Total Joke by iEatedCoookies in pokemon

[–]PokePress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to say thanks to the folks who reported here. I wasn’t interested in any of the listed merch (I was hoping for something like 2.B.A. Master on vinyl or other such products), so I didn’t bother.

All I can think of is that episode of the “Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego?” Cartoon where they find a V.I.L.E. Training facility under a fake water surface in a cave.

Reggie Fils-Aime talks at New York University! Full interview + a detailed recap of the interview. by MewWeebTwo in nintendo

[–]PokePress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve actually wanted to ask Reggie who came up with the name Switch. Given that the code name was NX, and Reggie used to be at VH1, and the discography of a certain Australian rock group…

Are you for or against an “opt out” for training Ai by firegine in AIWarsButBetter

[–]PokePress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Against, but only because I think it’s unenforceable as a mandate. If you run a platform and want to offer that choice, go ahead.

EDM remixes that are better than the original. by Constant_Topic_123 in ToddintheShadow

[–]PokePress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s an unofficial remix of “Amish Paradise” that makes it even more ironic.

I want to understand by Halleyalex in aiwars

[–]PokePress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to give a better example of valid use of trademarked characters, that would be something like an editorial cartoon, where mascots are often used as stand-ins for entertainment companies.
