However Pokemon came out in 96, that’s 28 years. There’s been very little innovation in their games since.

First, not really, there’s been a LOT of innovation in Pokémon, as much as people want to deny it.

And second, 28 years is really not that much. We’re not in the Disney realm of copyright-hogging, I think 50 years is a fair amount of time. The issue is that it’s often way too broad: it should protect only extremely blatant copies (i.e. the guy who literally rereleased Pokémon Yellow as a mobile game), not concepts or general mechanics. Palworld has a completely different gameplay from any Pokémon game so far, and (most of) the creatures are distinct enough. That should suffice to make it rightfully exist (maybe removing the 4/5 Pals that are absolute ripoffs, sure).

It’s the studio Nintendo chose as lead developer for BDSP.

I can’t think of a single first-party Nintendo game that’s released riddled with bugs in recent memory

Literally Pokémon. SwSh, SV and BDSP are all a bug-ridden mess. You will probably find more bugs playing SV for an hour than in all gen 3-6 games together.

Although yeah, it’s a (huge) anomaly and the rest of the first-party games are extremely polished. It just sucks to be a Pokémon fan in the 2020s.

Is this what they call “Crowfunding”?

Whoa, of course he tried to spin it as a win, but it’s still impressive that they forced him to admit he doesn’t want to debate Harris again.

His fans will probably believe his “version” of why he doesn’t want to, but for everyone else it’s pretty clear and that’s what counts.

Where? In the article I see

“Are we going to do a rematch? I just don’t know,” he told reporters Wednesday afternoon. “We’ll think about it.”

His comments suggest he is not altogether serious about a sequel. In a morning phone call to the co-hosts of “Fox & Friends,” he said, “when you win the debate, I don’t, I don’t know that I want to do another debate.”

“I wouldn’t want to have Bret and Martha,” he said, before proposing Sean Hannity, Jesse Watters or Laura Ingraham instead.

Trump told reporters Wednesday afternoon that he would theoretically show up for a debate hosted by either NBC or Fox, but first “we have to determine whether or not we even want to do it.”

“Obviously, he likes these debates and he’s good at them, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he wants to step back in the ring, but I also wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t. It’s his choice,” Vance told Fox News.

Which definitely shows insecurity, but nothing definite (unfortunately).

Ouro Kronii from hololive English -Promise- showed her versatility in a cover of “Bocca de la Belita”

FOR GOD’S SAKE, IT’S “BOCCA DELLA VERITÀ”, ITALIAN ISN’T THAT HARD …ahem, I mean… nevermind

Anyway, damn, I’m even more jealous after reading the setlist. Now that they have an US division, the bluray will be a bit cheaper, right…?

Pain EU

Hopefully everything goes smoothly with the USA division and they go through with it, something hinting at Europe was in the (very future) roadmap iirc.

(Plus I think shipping from the US has less taxes than from Japan? Might be just copium though)

The whole interview was… kinda weird? Lots of one-liners as answers, although the other, longer ones were definitely interesting.

…also did I hear TCG?! It’s probably not gonna take off outside Japan like WS but I’m not gonna turn down more card goodies anyway. Those are usually affordable even in Europe, luckily.
