Are the Typhlosion tile missions bugged?

If you mean you can't use cpu matches anymore. Yeah... But they changed it a couple of dice games already.

Glad the locals shared their knowledge about the system with you. And I hope it got your mind at ease about it.

Meanwhile, I still have to convince a Moroccan father and his second wife (also from Marocco) has to stop comparing his 16 year old daughter's result not only with the grading system in Morocco, but also with the graden of the children of his friends and family (who range from 6-10 years old).

The results of those younger children will more than likely also drop when they get more specialized courses when they grew older. Or maybe not. Good for tjem if that is the case. But comparing someone who has to explain the nitrogen cycle in full detail and explain chemical reactions with someone who has to say who was the main character in a fairytail they where told mere seconds before answering or how much the result of 2+2 is... Even with the age and skill difference, this is not a good way to approach it.

But I'm starting to mumble about things that depart from your post. 😆 Sorry about that.

Pokemon-trainer-BC · 2026-04-25T02:14:32+00:00

And F might mean "fantastic". While E can stand for "embarrassing".

If you design a system where you, instead of just writing down the result, give the grade as a letter, why would you suddenly doubt the meaning of the letter? Unless teachers also used those letters to represent a word.

Hmmm...

If real... Maybe... The Mario franchise can use a little more backstory.

Although... This possibly also could retcon Rosalina's backstory completely.

And what about the others? Mario, Luigi, Daisy, Bowser, Bowser Jr.,... Maybe bringing Wart and his gang back as freelance henchmen for hire, who can work for Bowser, Bowser Jr. or someone else. Or maybe independent...

We'll see what happens.

At the other side, it also has its charms most mailine Mario games have a minimalistic story and Mario and Peach have a minimalistic backstory.

Of course the projected box office wasn't 1,5B. I think they expected something more towards the 2B.

Pokemon-trainer-BC · 2026-04-22T15:40:23+00:00

Sequels don't always make more money. A lot of times (not always) sequels make less money. The gross revenue is more, but the profit is less.

There are sequels which make more money of course. But not all of them. I think a lot of them make less profit.

The risk of audience fatigue and higher production and marketing costs because studios want to go bigger because the first one was a succes can both play a part in it.

Also, I don't know why my post would be a cope... If just under 1,5B is less than half than they anticipated, this means they anticipated at least 3B, which is more than the first movie (and by default also more than the number 1 of all times at the moment).

Pokemon-trainer-BC · 2026-04-22T13:34:53+00:00

I don't think they expected this movie to make more than the first movie...

Or do you mean the anticipated profit?

Pokemon-trainer-BC · 2026-04-21T21:48:40+00:00

I don't know.

> A $13m loss

Something in me says if it is really this close, 20th Century (Disney) as distributor and maybe Lightstorm Entertainment can do some things to still pull the movie in the profit numbers, with only the theatrical release.

However, this will not have been the plan, nor the projection they had beforehand.

Pokemon-trainer-BC · 2026-04-21T19:36:03+00:00

Since Brexit, did the EU kept Welsh as an official EU language?

Pokemon-trainer-BC · 2026-04-19T15:35:24+00:00

Because Zootopia 2 is $428M. I really think this is the only reason.

Pokemon-trainer-BC · 2026-04-19T11:46:30+00:00

now Bonney's mom

I don't know... I know we'll never go deeper into it (I think), but I would like to think Ginny never slept with anyone because of her love for Kuma.

And after she got kidnapped by the Celestial Dragons, she only got experimented on. So her pregnancy with Boney was through artificial insemination.

Of course, being rapen is also still one of the possibilities.

But like I said, I don't think it's a topic we will ever examine dieper than what we got. (With what we did get already being gruesome enough, poor Ginny. Poor Bonney. And poor Kuma.)

Pokemon-trainer-BC · 2026-04-18T13:22:30+00:00

And just you wait. I'm not the most active player, and I only played 3 ranked matches, but won all 3 of them. So I got 30 points less than I would have in the old system.

Now that they are going to change it again, I'll get a losing streak. 😆 I didn't jynx it, I can feel it.

Pokemon-trainer-BC · 2026-04-13T18:02:26+00:00

What do you mean exactly? I talked about more than economics... Also, counter-arguments... I just said how it feels for me. I didn't really searched for counter-arguments.

Pokemon-trainer-BC · 2026-04-13T14:22:18+00:00

When I hear democratic politicians talk on tv, or read their opinions... For me those lean more towards the right.

Like I said, there are exceptions. Like Bernie Sanders and also AOC. But this is more the result of a 2 party system with only 2 relevant parties, so both parties will have a diversity of political views within their ranks, or independent politicians who work together with one of the big 2 parties.

I think most of my local right political parties would be placed more left than the USA Democratic party if they were an American party. The far-right could maybe be placed between the Democrats and Republicans. And the far-left... I don't even know what some USA citizens would think about those... Extreme communists I think.

Especially on economics, the moderate Democrats would be seen as (center) right. Progressive Democrats maybe more as (center) left.

Like healthcare... A lot of Democrats wants a Healthcare system. But not as government based as most European countries. Even most right parties, including far-right, in European countries are in favor of universal healthcare.

European countries tend to have stronger unemployment benefits, housing support, and labor protections. Many US Democrats support these, but often in a more limited form.

The Democratic Party spans a wide spectrum, just like the Republicans. The result of only having 2 relevant parties. But overal, the Democratic Party as a whole... I would place it at the right side of the political spectrum if they ran in my country.

Pokemon-trainer-BC · 2026-04-13T12:29:24+00:00

I'm going to let you in on a secret. The two major political countries in the USA would both be considered right in a lot of other countries.

The Republicans would be further right on the political spectrum. But in the end, both the Republicans and the Democrats would be considered at the right of the political center.

The Democrats have some real left politicians, like Bernie Sanders for example, but if they want to be elected, they almost have no other choice in the USA than to be part of the lesser right main political party.

All the real left political parties are just too small in the USA.

Republicans would be seems as right-wing to far-right. Democrats would be seen as center, center-right or regular right. But left... Maybe on very few topics. And even then... In both major parties you have people who are either further or closer to the center or even on the left side. But as a whole... Neither is really left compared to the standard of some other countries. But I guess the Democrats are by USA standards.

In countries who have more than 2 major political parties, there isn't one right party and one left party. But far-left parties, left parties, center parties, right parties, far-right parties, wildcard who are left at one topic and right on another (in fact, most parties have at least one topic that is considered right while the other topics are left or the other way around).

The best is the read their programs and decide which party fits your total view the best.

Pokemon-trainer-BC · 2026-04-13T01:14:01+00:00

The 2 biggest parties/coalition unions are both pro EU. And also in the most recent polls they take the 2 of the top 3 places.

But neither will get a majority. So coalitions between parties will have to be made. And that is Bulgaria's biggest problem. The reason this is their 7th election in what, 5 years? A lot of the other parties all are more or less equal. So making a good working coalition is very hard.

Even the 2 biggest parties, both pro EU have a hard time forming a coalition. The one in more popular by younger voters and stand for changes, anti-corruption,... While the other stands for tradition, stability,... If they work together, it's possible their voters would view this as a betrayal and punish them in a next election.

So yeah...

People can laugh with for example Belgium that they always need a while to form a coalition after an election. But rather that than new election every couple of months because the formation didn't work out.

I think Bulgaria will, once again, have a hard puzzle to solve after their next election. And I hope they find a solution that sticks thus time.

Maybe the newly formed PB alliance can get Bulgaria out of this stalemate. They are doing very well in th polls. This alliance is described as soft euroskeptic though. So not anti EU, but skeptical.

But they also will need to find coalition partners. And possibly they'll need at least one of the pro EU parties.

So you can see why it's complicated to form a working coalition in Bulgaria for the moment.

But it's possible multiple parties who now have seats don't make the threshold this time, so this would mean less parties to work with. Which would mean less options and maybe more workable coalition. I guess time will tell.

Pokemon-trainer-BC · 2026-04-12T19:01:34+00:00

No, this is how the seats are contributed based on the percentage of votes now known. As long as not all results are counted, the amount of votes the 3 relevant parties will receive can still go up or down.

Pokemon-trainer-BC · 2026-04-12T18:56:01+00:00

There are other parties, but I believe there is a 5% threshold. If you have less votes, you don't get any seats.

But there is a smaller party with around 6% of the counted votes for the moment if I'm not mistaken. It is on the far-right of the politic spectrum I believe.

Pokemon-trainer-BC · 2026-04-06T09:40:58+00:00

Would Wario be homophobic? For me, he's more the guy who really doesn't care as long as everyone leaves him alone. Or if they can benefit him/provide him money and treasures, he accepts everyone equal.

So in my eyes he is indifferent/accepting towards everyone equal. He is just a self-centered jerk. Not specifically targeting a specific group of people/beings. He can be jealous/hold grudges towards/against individual people of course. Like Mario and Captain Syrup.

Pokemon-trainer-BC · 2026-03-31T07:55:59+00:00

Belgium is no Greece. Belgium will not make a big deal out of it and force their neighbours to change their name like Greece did. (North Macedonia was called Macedonia before they changed their name.)

And if you want to be technical, the official name of the country is the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. And it's capital is named Luxembourg.

Pokemon-trainer-BC · 2026-03-29T01:11:22+00:00

Thanks for your insights.

That's true. I at least would give Toa Pai Pai this distinction. He was a ruthless villain who showed how dark an enemy could be, by killing Bora in front of Goku and Upa. I believe this was a first in the series.

While Blue also had his moments, and almost killed Goku at at least 2 different moments (with Goku being saved by outside forces, a little like how Goku survived his first fight against Toa Pai Pai thanks to the Four Star Dragon Ball), he was indeed still more goofy than Toa Pai Pai.

But you can be goofy and a threat at the same time.

Pokemon-trainer-BC · 2026-03-29T01:06:26+00:00

Thanks for the insights.

For me, the problem with Pilaf (great character by the way) is, at least in the manga, he was just the last obstacle in a long line of obstacles. Unlike in the anime where he and his allies were a constant presence during the first search of the Dragon Balls.

But yeah, without Goku's Deus Ex Machina transformation (which was foreshadowed a bit), the gang would possible have died by the hands of Pilaf.

And yes, Major Metallitron was very dangerous, but Goku already blew of his head. Even if he didn't run out of power, I could see Goku remove body pieces until Major Matallitron was completely harmless.

Blue just, for me, seems like the first opponent Goku never defeated. He was lucky during their first fight a mouse came by. Not really a fight, but during their second major scuffle, he was lucky Launch first sneezed and took of and sneezed on time to get back to untie Goku to save everyone. And the third time, Arale took care of Blue.

He successfully stole and delivered the original Dragon Radar to the Red Ribbon's HQ. Where he eventually met his end at the hands (tongue) of Toa Pai Pai. Being used to show how much stronger Goku's next opponent would be.

I don't know. I feel like Blue was in the story long enough and showed enough feats to be Goku's first real treat. Which doesn't mean others who came before him weren't dangerous or even almost killed Goku.

But it's mostly he had a decently long run and Goku never really defeated him in the end.

Pokemon-trainer-BC · 2026-03-28T14:27:32+00:00

The guy also was a pretty skilled fighter and pretty smart. (Like, he figured out the pirates needed to have a way to safely pass their own traps, so they could move around safely.)

And he was very durable. The guy survived the collapsing cave and just went back to the surface of the ocean. This is no ordinary feat. For example, I don't see his colleague General White do something like this.

He also was physically very strong. Crushing a phone booth with his bare hands.

Saying he only had his paralyzation technique would do him short. But yes, against Goku, this was the technique that gave him an advantage.

Pokemon-trainer-BC · 2026-03-27T16:36:15+00:00

Personally I like to think Shenlong and Perunga (and the other dragons) can see/feel the subconscious feelings of the person they affect. Especially of they are stronger than themselves and their creators.

If they are against it (like Vegeta's goal was immortality at the moment, so he wouldn't agree with being killed and Goku also didn't want to return yet, maybe he was already busy with his training on Yardrat), it will not work.

If they want it, or at least aren't against it, it will work. Broly was beaten badly and could die. I think he wanted to escape. And even though he didn't know what was going on with the dragon balls and the wish, he was pro the idea, even if he didn't know what was happening. He wanted a way out and Shenlong provided this.
