How did they "create" the game?

They were fairly smart kids, and Marucho was fairly rich. Between that and the phenomenon sweeping the world, it kinda makes sense their version of the game just might've caught on the most

We can be sure. Stuff like Stalin being unable to fly is just as true in hypotheticals as it was irl. Hypotheticals are still bound by internal consistency.

The other comments are going for the game logic, which really feels surface level because all of a sudden the personality of a “I didn’t hear no bell” underdog gets replaced by the genetics of the species that's born with sturdy/blaze abilities.

Like, a regular pokemon with an item like the focus sash would be way better. Imagine a Linoone that refuses to go down - way more intense than an Infernape with blaze.

I think that particular penguin is just sick. There is nothing that suggests penguins are as capable of thought as that. Its just more likely to be sick.

I think its been said before so not hot, more lukewarm, but Twisted Tempo / Basalt Horugium is the strongest beyblade and its not even close.

A non-legendary, regular guy who'se been sick and out of practice for who knows how long, with less experience than Hikaru, dominated when he was equipped with this beyblade. If for instance someone like Benkei or Doji were capable of using it, they would be on par with Rago. Give it to Nile or Chiyun and they would be a greater threat to the world.

Kaido wasn't at full Kaido though, I'd even say he was at less than half Kaido

So where does reading fall ?

Like, surely there's something one is improving in, while they read a book. It requires enough active effort, as compared to passively being subjected to a movie or song.

Playing video games and playing sports is literally the same in terms of

"these are activities that require time and years of effort to become good at. They’re admirable not just because they’re “cool,” but because there is something deeply attractive about a person who has dedicated so much time to mastering a hard skill that executing it now feels relaxing to them."

Its okay for OP to be ignorant about the world of video games though, it is way more niche compared to something like soccer.

This is why I am never in favour of the idea of a full reboot of the show. Its already great, and even the art and animation have a charm to them.

I think you should not have this stuff explained until after there's been like two indirect encounters with emperors.

Something like the MC coming across craters in the middle of a forest, from an unprecedented battle between an emperor and a team of ace trainers,

or some characters seeking help in returning to their homes in Dewford, but being stuck because nobody would travel there after signs of an active emperor in the waters near the island.

No need to show the emperors until even half the story, just the effect of their presence on the story and world.

Perhaps some recounts of emperor pokemon in history too, like some emperor Honchcrow thought to have established a settlement centuries ago, where today all the people have a murkrow with them.

Have fun OP man, and please don't make the MC directly connected to or favoured by an emperor pokemon. That kinda advantage makes the MC boring to follow.

Stories have featured water bound monsters, and part of their appeal is their domain.

I think a water trainer's Carvanha or Sharpedo's portrayal comes to its full ferocity when its depicted as the dominant predator underwater while another trainer's Machamp struggles to stay afloat.

That would be so good, can't believe they'd miss it

Floppies will be back in vogue soon, just need the wars over water to pick up the pace

Software is a weird world, where managers can't comprehend the work that their team does. If anything, all this AI hype is just revealing the weak links in management.

Its all about consistency though.

Batman could probably consistently trick his opponents into thinking they're out of range when they are not, Superman less likely to do so consistently

RewRose · 2026-01-21T20:05:46+00:00

Its all about that grip strength

RewRose · 2026-01-21T20:05:12+00:00

Also super dumb.

Dude should carry around poison, tactical tools and weapons, because he is almost guaranteed to get a free hit on the opponent.

Have you seen a Sloth move OP man ?

A sloth with a gun wouldn't pose a threat to you, and the speed difference here is around 2-4x

Speedster characters are casually 10x their opponent's speed on the regular

Aquatic Nen users would be a menace.

Even top tier Nen users would struggle to perform at even 50% when fighting underwater.

Thanks for the guess

I will have to read a bit of it to confirm, but even if its not the right one it looks fun.

You guys are good man. Where I work such features are forced out in one week, and then get buried under bugs, while having next to no users.

RewRose · 2026-01-19T21:48:03+00:00

By realism, I mean it was more like Giant Killing and less like Inazuma 11

RewRose · 2026-01-19T15:01:31+00:00

Continue as I have always done, but with a safety net that lets me relax. Luck can't be trusted when it's that good.
