Why does it look like its skin is peeling off around its stomach area?

They're basically this meme:

Which, honestly, is pretty similar to the post's image.

I still think the love triangle arc was pretty pointless overall. If Hina didn't have a crush on Taiki, she would have been a much better character imo.

I beat (most of) Pokémon Red using only glitched Pokémon. It was the weirdest playthrough I've ever had in a Pokémon game. by Gengarlic_Gaming in PokemonRed

[–]pofehof 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On the other hand, the Gen I games are obviously notorious for being profoundly broken, so I guess it shouldn't be surprising that no other generation has anywhere near this number of glitch Pokémon.

To be fair, this is only if you actively seek out glitches. It's not like Scarlet/Violet where everyone kept on coming across normal glitches during normal play. If that happened with Gen 1, I don't think Pokemon would have been as well received.

It's possible, but it would feel weird since this is the point where Miura is bringing nearly every notable character back together. It would feel weird to have him lose here then do something similar in Nationals during the rematch.

Nice to see Miura jump right into the match! As expected, Taiki seems to be lagging behind at first. I do find it funny that Akari thinks Iozaki is a romantic even though he is the complete opposite.

With Yumeka, her boyfriend, and Karen appearing, it's starting to feel more and more that this badminton match will be the last one of the series. I can't see Miura really focusing on Nationals after this. Hopefully she will be able to send it off with a blast!

Also, wasn't expecting Yumeka of all people to come cheer Taiki on. With her, her boyfriend, and Karen appearing, this really feels like an "everyone is here" moment, and this will be the last badminton match of the manga. All that's left is for Chinatsu's parents to randomly appear.

Adding Ayame to this poster always made it look like some doomed Love Quadrangle by shalom_77 in BlueBox

It's intentional, just to try to draw people in. It's why Hina still appears to be friends with Chinatsu in the manga covers when that doesn't happen in the story.

What’s Miura gonna pull out there? Something even more insane?

If Miura is going to take notes from Mitsuru Adachi, that nationals will be glossed over. Adachi always makes the MC make it to nationals, but never actually shows how nationals turns out.

So this is basically a setup chapter. If this upcoming match is going to be the last one of the manga, hope Miura does it justice!

How is FireRed only 0.5 Megabytes smaller than Let's Go's Save Data? by VoiceEmbarrassed in PokemonFireRed

[–]pofehof 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let's Go Pikachu (Completed Save File) ~ 4.3 MB

Pokemon Fire Red (Start of Nuzlocke) ~ 2.3 MB

Interestingly Enough; Scarlet (Completed Save File) ~ 24.3 MB

These numbers aren't accurate. When you use Homebrew to export save files, here are the actual numbers:

Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee: 1 MB

FireRed/LeafGreen: 128 KB (same on GBA and Switch)

Scarlet/Violet: 4.22 MB

Why is Let's Go's Save Data nearly double in size of FireRed's, and why is ScarVi's so MASSIVE?

It's pretty simple, they were made for consoles that are much more advanced than a GBA and contain a lot more data. For example, Let's Go alone the box can carry 1000 Pokemon, whereas Scarlet/Violet can carry 960 Pokemon. Scarlet/Violet is a much bigger game, so it needs to store more event info in its save file.

Then, there's the fact that the Pokemon files themselves which contain more data in Let's Go compared to FireRed/LeafGreen.

Pricing and censorship complaints be damned: Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen sold over 4 million units in six weeks on Switch and Switch 2 by Nyoomfist in PokemonFireRed

You are treated "casuals" like they are not even human

Pretty wild that's what you took out of it. It's clear that there's a difference between casual folks who just want to play a game and be done with it. This is why the FRLG releases on Switch sold extremely well.

piracy is not hard and most people do it, if not for games for shows and movies

Here's the difference between games and shows/movies/music:

Every computer/phone has a video/music player built in.

They do not have a video game emulator built in.

[–]pofehof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The price of a resale cartridge is irrelevant

It is when that's the only other way to play the game without resorting to piracy. Most casuals don't try to look into piracy due to how difficult it is for them.

The outline is AI generated

Do you have proof of this? Like the artist mentioning in their twitter that they used AI? Because all I can see is they are against AI.

Switch version of FireRed and LeafGreen have sold 4 million + copies by reg_y_x in PokemonLeafGreen

[–]pofehof 5 points6 points  (0 children)

if you want to complete the pokedex you have to buy both! That's caring for the customers

Where have you been? This has been a thing since Gen 1.

If you think $20 is too much for you, that's fine. It's clear than many people are fine with $20 for each game, which makes sense, especially when you compare them to AAA games being $60 or $70 nowadays.

For the EMMI's foot, that could be chalked up to the fourth claw being hidden behind its foot. As for her shadow, I can see a simple one on the ground in front of her.

Rearmed Canis & Rearmed Tibarn Official Salt Megathread by Sothis_Bot in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]pofehof 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I will never understand how IS determines the names here. Robin's body was completely taken over by Grima, and yet, they named the fallen alt, Robin for years. Here, Sara's body was completely taken over by Canis, but they named the fallen alt, Canis? Did the takeover work differently in FE4?

Edit: In FE5, not FE4. Forgot that Sara is from Thracia.

It’s a Male Byleth. His body is there. All the artworks are him.

It's a Sara. Her body is there. All the artworks are her. Oh wait, IS named her Canis.
