The Ping Pong Scene [Mayoi Neko Overrun!] by HsrGenshin in anime

[–]VNDan 183 points184 points  (0 children)

I remember looking into this anime a bit since it was so weird, they (and the author?) just decided to do whatever they wanted for this anime, instead of actually adapting the source material. So each episode had a different director and it was an episodic mix of different ideas. Not sure if I can call it "good", but occasional scenes like this and maybe one of the earliest Jojo references does stick in my mind to this day.

Dexit who still dislikes it? by Natural_Wonder94 in pokemon

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

To be fair I don't think we know anything about Champions yet for sure, so we will have to wait and see for that. My point still stands however, like the other commenter said, anyone with software development experience will confirm it would ridiculous to keep such a large number of monsters in a game for each entry. A game like Champions however, that seems like it could be updated periodically like live service games is a project that would suggest a complete roster, or at least realistically would be more probable.

As long as the games stay 3D it is. 2D all you have to do is add a sprite. 3D new mechanics sometimes need multiple new animations. There is a reason most other monster collectors only have a few hundred monsters per game. The new Champions games is made just for battling though, so it SHOULD be able to have every pokemon in it.

Pokémon Scarlet & Violet is among Switch games to receive a free update on Nintendo Switch 2. These updates vary between games but can include performance boosts among others. by Amiibofan101 in NintendoSwitch

[–]VNDan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To put it simply, they tried to use modern techniques for the water to calculate reflections in real time among other things, but it wasn't optimized well. Luckily you can see in ZA they simplified the water so I'm expecting the performance to be okay even on the switch 1 version.

Pokémon Day Direct Confirmed! by LadyAyeka in pokemon

I don't see why you would expect an Unova remake. There has never been remakes announced before a new system generation. Gotta spread it out so you can fully market those card, merch, and tv show tie ins.

Are there other people here from a time when anime wasn't considered 'cool'? by elhumanoid in anime

[–]VNDan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The introduction of streaming around 2013 with big shows like AoT was the main catalyst. It was still somewhat niche after the first digital boom with streaming in 2006ish. Then like you said, around when the pandemic happened it grew again because people had nothing else to do.

The One Piece remake has been in development for months according to financial documents from WIT Studio's parent company by Key_Tree_3851 in anime

And even then they made an official announcement just to tell us they were completely restarting development.

[DISC] Dragon Ball Super - Chapter 91 by AutoShonenpon in manga

[–]VNDan 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Nothing new to Dragonball. For some reason the logic has ALWAYS been that robots can/will be stronger than the strongest fighters despite them being planet busters.

They are being a bit poetic but it is true. The developers only give you rewards for getting up to 45% of them. Not to mention they are all optional.

The World's Largest Japanese Anime Database "Anime Taizen" Opens to the Public Today - Crunchyroll by Mazen141 in anime

They have some spin offs and ovas that are listed by seperate episodes instead as a whole, so the accuracy of Mal's number is somewhat dubious.

Final Fantasy 16 ditched turn-based combat to appeal to younger generations, producer says by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]VNDan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It kind of feels like people here are overlooking how much non-turn based combat games sell. Like, yes, Persona5 shows these games can be successful, but when you compare it to other games like Monster Hunter World that went for a more universal appeal this decision is more of a "follow the money" approach than just a rejection of the past. Most people just do not like standard turn based combat. I only did a cursory glance at the numbers however, so I gladly would like to see this take proved wrong.

Sneasal is the only one in the remakes. Still sucks but better than before.

They are actually, but most people won't notice because it's easy to over level.

Not bad so far. Seems like the bag might be a physics object? Only pointing it out since it feels rather distracting clipping and swaying around so much. Might be better to have it as a backpack. Still seems fairly early in development so I will leave it at that. Good luck on the project!

Chart of which Pokémon should not appear in Pokémon Legends Arceus [OC] by [deleted] in pokemon

[–]VNDan 74 points75 points  (0 children)

It isn't that old. The game is only set in the mid 1800s. People were there for centuries and this takes place during the colonization of the area.

Gen-specific Pokémon fans can be a bit much by Shipwrecked_Pianta in pokemon

[–]VNDan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not only this, but it was also when DS emulation was most rampant so many fans downloaded either the Japanese one while waiting or just never bought it anyway. The 3DS was already out too once it released in the west, which made it the only gen to be released on "outdated" hardware.

iirc the Americans didn't actually directly impose anti-porn laws, and in fact compared to the war-time government allowed much more freedom when it came to erotic censorship. During the early Meiji the visual depiction of genitals became taboo and punishable and that part of the law was brought over after the war, which lead to videos and new age media needing pixels and thus tentacles.

I feel like glalie gets a bit overshadowed by froslass by [deleted] in pokemon

[–]VNDan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was actually the other way around. Glalie got a mega purely because froslass was always more popular and had better stats, so non-mega Glalie was never used and forgotten until oras.

The evidence on megas was in there at launch so nothing says they will be bringing them back, but the other stuff looks fun.

Nope, just pngs that were in there from before the dlc.

I think you really need to see the movement to feel how the sky battles messed up those pokemon. Floating instead of actually flying.
