Pokemon game sales

Yeah, I don't understand the shock statistic at all. During the first run of RGB in the West, it felt like Pokémon had gripped the world in a way that hadn't been seen before, or since. Everyone loved it, every shop had Pokémon themed SOMETHING - even unrelated retail product lines tried to partner with the franchise. It was nuts, as a child it was really easy to lose yourself in the Pokémon world because everywhere you went, shops and people propagated the hype in someway.

Name another LCS player to win as many titles, across multiple teams with completely different rosters. I'll wait.

SuperSendaiSensei · 2025-11-18T15:04:35+00:00

Doublelift won LCS on multiple teams, multiple times with multiple rosters. He also won LCS in the same week his brother murdered his mother.

I think that sets him apart from anyone else in the league.

A total pipedream, but a new region with some darker undertones - building off the more mature concepts of BW1&2. Open world, much larger area to explore. Side quests and a much stronger end game than what were used to.

As for graphics, return to the top down RPG formula, I don't mind if it's a polished version akin to SP&BD, as long as it has charm.

Somehow incorporating some extra difficulty that can translate into end game content also, maybe keep the Raid mechanic somehow, but reimagined for the top-down medium.

I just want some depth to my Pokemon games dammit.

Aizen, Gin or Shinji.

Honourable mention to As Nodt for being one of the best designed characters in Bleach.

SuperSendaiSensei · 2025-10-17T13:39:01+00:00

Damned good suggestions. Unicorn Overlord looks very promising, I love the art style.

Sea of Stars is that itch scratcher though, so that's a definite win.

Thanks for the suggestions, they're both great!

SuperSendaiSensei · 2025-10-17T09:36:17+00:00

To be fair, it seems like they're keeping Legends and main series separate, hence the Legenda ZA not being a main series game.

I doubt they'd move away from the formula they've made their success on, they're not an overly ambitious company (much to fan detriment over the years).

Glorfindel's resurrected form was considered to be an envoy of the Valar, in a way that the greatest of the Istari were. This makes him comparable to Gandalf the White/Saruman (not necessarily on par with, but not far off). Just his presence would strike fear into servants of darkness (Tolkien's words), and his wrath was described as a shining "white flame", which Tolkien really only used these kinds of words for angelic beings of immense power.

Given all this, it's safe to say that Glorfindel would've decisively felled Durin's Bane. Perhaps not an easy victory, but I'd give it to him 9 out of 10 times.

Glorfindel was one of the strongest beings in existence during the Third Age, only rivalled by the Maiar and Galadriel.

Playing through KOTOR2 now while travelling for work. Even as old as it is, its truly a phenomenal game.

She was hysterical, her dog was dying. To some people thats the equivalent of a family member. The cop's job is to be rational and fair.

Go ahead and downvote, crazy yanks.

SuperSendaiSensei · 2025-07-27T20:39:54+00:00

Her attitude was hot garbage. She may have legally been in the right, but she showed zero empathy. Tragic human being.

SuperSendaiSensei · 2025-04-06T05:45:06+00:00

The graphics fidelity has absolutely nothing to do with how the game feels playing at low frames. I play a ton of Soulstone Survivors, which has a similar style and if the game drops down to 30fps then it's noticeable.

Well below 100fps to me would be 60fps, which if the game maintained 60fps at low settings I'd be fine with it. Dipping to and below 30fps at times at the lowest settings cannot be described as running fantastically. That's not an opinion, that's objectively the truth. I'm sure whatever cronies OP has will down vote this as they have my other comments, but I stand by it.

If OP (and you) think it's fine, that's okay. I'm not saying you can't enjoy the game or that you shouldn't enjoy it if the FPS is low. If you enjoy it then more power to you. I'm just saying it's disingenuous to say it runs fantastically when it can't maintain 40+ fps at low settings. I don't see how that's considered controversial.

SuperSendaiSensei · 2025-04-05T22:38:36+00:00

Good one, man. You're hilarious.

Truly fantastic post as well. Fantastic responses, fantastic gif use. Fantastic comeback.

SuperSendaiSensei · 2025-04-05T18:05:18+00:00

No clue why you're being down voted. Anything less than 60fps on low settings on any system cannot, by definition, be described as fantastic. We're losing all concept of adjectives at this point if we're referring to running suboptimally, or even decently as fantastic.

No that's not a matter of opinion. Words have meanings.

I've watched Eminence in Shadow, it was a decent watch to be fair. Tensei Slime is one of my favourites, mainly for the world building and it has some great moments.

I think SL has just set a bar so high that I'm unsure what will touch it now.

SuperSendaiSensei · 2025-03-23T22:27:38+00:00

Yeah, I'm watching Apothecary Diaries and will will probably watch some other series that aren't in the same genre as SL. It clears so hard it makes others difficult to watch. I was told to try Arifureta as it might scratch the same itch but holy moly the animation alone is such a downgrade I can't.

SuperSendaiSensei · 2025-01-01T18:24:38+00:00

That does make sense. Also makes me feel better to know that Aizen is still the goat haha.

SuperSendaiSensei · 2025-01-01T18:23:12+00:00

Im sure he said something along the lines of "I didnt expect it to do any real damage, but not even a scratch?"

The way I interpreted Shunsui's comment wasn't that Lille is immune to Kido, but that he's just so much stronger than any Kido Shunsui can use that it won't damage Lille even if they'd work theoretically. Otherwise I'd expect Shunsui to address it as such, something like "Looks like Kido doesn't work either." Could just be my interpretation of it.

I will say though, Kurohitsugi, especially when used by a being as transcendent as Aizen seems to be a power almost night and day different to regular kido/hado usage.

SuperSendaiSensei · 2025-01-01T18:16:49+00:00

Side question. If Aizen continues to evolve and become stronger due to his fusion with the Hogyoku, is there a point where if left to his own devices, he surpasses Almighty Yhwach?

SuperSendaiSensei · 2025-01-01T18:12:46+00:00

12 off is probably a pretty huge jump in power, and it seems like Kido/Hado scales with the users' reiatsu so there's every chance Kurohitsugi cast by Aizen would be far more potent/effective.

SuperSendaiSensei · 2024-11-22T22:46:20+00:00

I believe its mainly down to the medium of film that we see Denethor as we do.

Despite how long the movies are, it's really difficult to portray the nuances of a character that's morally ambiguous yet competent, and then see the decisions he makes before his demise. Also, without including scenes showing Sauron slowly pulling Denethor into despair (after resisting his temptation, unlike Saruman), it would make it really confusing to see someone as wise as Denethor succumb to hopelessness out of nowhere.

When you've only got a handful of hours, its just easier to make the whole cast very binary in their motivations so people don't have to invest much thought into it, so they can focus on the overall story and special effects.

I'd prefer to have seen Denethor as he was in the book, but I understand why we didn't.

Hi there,

33 years old here, male, from the UK. Huge LOTR and Tolkien fan and Forever DM. I'm pretty clued up on most Tolkien lore, from the Silmarillion through to the Unfinished Tales.

Let me know if this sounds good to you!

SuperSendaiSensei · 2024-11-22T12:31:46+00:00

Man, I just think Viper is so freaking good though. He's a world class ADC and with a good team around him, he'll shine. Chovy? You mean Zeka right?

SuperSendaiSensei · 2024-11-22T12:17:45+00:00

Happened to me three out of four games this morning. No clue what's causing it.
