    The plot of Pokemon is the kid bounding down the stairs the morning he turns 10 and announcing that he’s going to do all of those things and the mom is just like, “Fine. Please call sometimes.”

      Then his single mom starts spends an inordinate amount of time hanging out with the Pokémon professor…

        If you actually go back to your home city there is literally nothing to do there.

        You would have thought that at some point they would have added some special item or quest that you got if you actually went back but nope. In every game of Pokémon I have ever played there is no incentive to return to your home city and talk to your mother.

        Pretty sure you can call her to leave some money with her to prevent going broke when getting wiped in battles. In some of the games at least.

        My favorite thing about the internet right here. Games not even out yet and it sucks ass/is the second coming of Christ. There is no in-between.

          With how badly TPC has been handling the franchise the past few years, expecting the next games to be bad is pretty reasonable

            You’re probably right, however I reserve judgement on things untill I have actually experienced them. I fully expect it to be a disappointment somehow, but I don’t know that it will be.

          SETTING

          I didn’t say the game itself sucks but the SETTING does based on everything they have shown us (100% urban environments)

          Before you talk about in-between maybe read everything in it’s entirety first.

            I did read your comment in it’s entirety. My opinion is the same, and also not as about you as you seem to think.

                I see you’ve taken part of what I said out of context. Good for you.

          Well there’s been that fairly lacklust trailer. It didn’t exactly look inspiring. Of course it might have great gameplay but historically speaking that seems unlikely.

          Also of course it’s probably going to cost $100 which means I’m not going to buy it regardless.

      That’s why Pikachu is electricity based, he represents all the stuff plugged into the unconscious boy in the hospital

    I mean ashs mom is a single mom and he’s a latchkey kid so he probably drank hose water and grew up to vote republican (I think Shinzo Abe’s party is that in Japan)
