"The First Investigation" was a really solid episode all round. As much as I been enjoying the show since Season 7 started bringing things back on track, I missed when episodes felt this full and compete with the idea they were going for.

RE: Pokemon Ultra S&M - Let's Minecraft Pikachu and Eevee Quest
Nah. I don't think that's the case though(them caving and wanting to show the the game is more than just a rehash). This kind of bomb isn't really new since they didn't the same exact thing before SM was out… Like, despite already revealing every single new Pokemon beforehand, they shoved in the fact that Red and Blue(Green) were in the game days before the game came out as a final sprinkle of fanservice. This reveal was most likely intended from the start and it doesn't really surprise me...
It's just... a weird practice Nintendo has been doing since the recent Smash bros. I mean, from a standpoint I "get it". But it does make me yearn for wanting surprises.

RE: Pokemon Ultra S&M - Let's Minecraft Pikachu and Eevee Quest
There's def some multiverse stuff going on, but I was hoping that… Lysandre would remain super fucking dead.
Besides that, while I'm pissed that Nintendo reveals the whole game before it's even out... This recent development I admit made me a tiny bit interested in this game. Especially since Team Rocket eventually coming back has been hinted at for very long time now.

RE: Pokemon Ultra S&M - Let's Minecraft Pikachu and Eevee Quest
There's one thing that has always bugged me. Why is Toxic, a poison type move, accessible for to many especies. Almost the entire roster can learn it.
If I remember correctly, the move itself isn't really poison that comes from Pokemon themselves, but rather a 400 year old ninja technique that was taught and passed down to them.
Koga explains this in one of the games. It's an entirely man-made concept. Pretty interesting, eh?

RE: Pokemon Ultra S&M - Let's Minecraft Pikachu and Eevee Quest
Geez. Even with Pokemon releases I'm never exited about, there's always atleast one thing that manages to pique my interest… And so far there's absolutely none.
So far it's..
-more ultra beast in rather generic looking "zones"(dubbed "regions" to sound grandiose) that are probably super tiny and solely meant for the UB encounters.
-a new team... yay? Rock wolf in another color?I don't know. I don't really mind missing out on a release, especially since I feel these "expansions" on previous releases to be geared more towards those that missed the games as they came out the first time... And heck, let them have fun with the same game that's only slightly better, I guess.
If anything, I'm more interested in what the new move tutor sets and small general changes bring to the next VGC tournament if the format is still as restrictive(Alola catches only and no Mega Stones). And I'm mostly speaking as a spectator that enjoys watching these things than playing it anymore. So I'm hoping the meta gets more exiting form this release.

RE: Grimdark Edgy Science Show (Rick & Morty Thread)
Six episodes in and this is kinda already feeling like the weakest season, despite the cool ideas and scenes here and there. Pickle Rick and the Premiere did feel the most complete… but the rest. There's something about the episode structure in general that bugs me. Like I don't always expect the three act structure to play out cleanly all the time since it's kind of a limited directing method to work with among so many others. But hmmm.
I can't really put my finger on why exactly these episodes don't flow too well for me. Even the set-pieces(locations visited) themselves tend to feel very... barren and less involved. Like they are less about the adventures and interactions within them, and exist more like backgrounds for the centric characters to constantly talk over. Like a sitcom or television drama with actors on a green screen projecting things that aren't even there.
But idk. It's far from bad episodes, but I'm certainly not feeling this season all that much.

RE: Grimdark Edgy Science Show (Rick & Morty Thread)
Hmmm. I don't know if this bothers anyone, but I felt like it's been a while since we had actual portal gun adventures through the multiverse/alt realities. Maybe the rules has become more complex since there's more overlap with planet hopping/space travel(or maybe there's a hidden reason why Rick doesn't do it often these days), but I feel the show became a little less unique when that became 90% of the episodes. Like its premise feels no different from Futurama at this point.
But, I been feeling this way since the previous seasons post S1…. so perhaps i should move on and go with the show's flow.

RE: Pokemon Ultra S&M - Let's Minecraft Pikachu and Eevee Quest
will this be the AU where Lillie shoots Lusamine with a gun?
I'm hoping it's one where she does not exist.

RE: Pokemon Ultra S&M - Let's Minecraft Pikachu and Eevee Quest
That was a disappointing BIG announcement. So.. A Sun and Moon cash-in, on the same hardware.
I still get it for the sakes of seeing how things changed in Aloha. Crossing my fingers Lily does not show up again and completely hijacks to story as "stand-in talkative MC".
