Speaking up here, because I love it, and I also think it fits the theme pretty well.

Just like the original, Hypnotises your opponents bench into backstabbing the active. Love it.

Crobat. Crobat never changes.

In which case they are releasing an incomplete product for switch users, which I'd argue is worse than the original case of paying for a framerate upgrade (see also BotW for WiiU--remember that?). The point being that it should run better on newer hardware because it is new hardware (i.e...

Yikes! Anyway. Paying 10-20 extra for better framerate is a joke. the exact same game should not cost more just to look (arguably) marginally prettier. What skill does he not have in this case? Or are you still on the toilet?

The Cynthia stuff makes me laugh. What do the other trainers have? Couple of neat attacks, some free retreat. What does Cynthia have? - damage boost from the bench - HP boost from an item - Archetype search on a Stage 1 in the primary attacking line - Energy efficient damage output that also...

I cosplayed as AZ once, and I'll do it again.

That's sad for you. I know I'd still care. I personally know many others who would as well. As in the psychographic profile? lol okay. Don't see what that has to do with poking fun at serial gamblers.

he... isn't. He didn't say any of this. Where did it come from? Did you reply to the wrong person? The boom and bust of the NFT market is an extremely apt comparison. Someone convincing enthusiasts in a relatively small niche to spend exorbitant amounts of money on something with no actual...

The fact that the guy who broke the story is in the hole for hundreds of thousands of USD makes me laugh slightly less at this. He obviously had loads of frivolous spending power, and chose to spend it on this, which, ehhhh I wouldn't. But he is clearly also a passionate collector, who did the...
