    Some manufacturers have been able to "touch" the new Nintendo console, without the possibility of actually seeing it to avoid leaks

    That sounds like one of those game shows where the contestants have to put their hand into a box and guess what's inside.

    Figured there'd be a few people who would be at least mildly curious about the fact that an animated comedy (seemingly) adaptation of Golden Axe is in the works.

    Comedy Central has given a 10-episode order to Golden Axe, an animated series based on the Sega video game series and with a voice cast that includes Matthew Rhys (The Americans), Danny Pudi (Community), Lisa Gilroy (Glamorous), Liam McIntyre (Spartacus) and Carl Tart (Grand Crew).

    I picked this up just a few days ago from a local game store by me! I had no idea what it was but at £7 I thought I'd give it a try. 

    I really love it but I'm in the same boat as I can't figure out how to do well at the game :laughing: I'm LOVING it though so I will endeavour to do better!

    As it happens, I was buying some N64 carts for the shop, and one of the cart-only games I picked up was Wetrix... I might give it a try this week before someone buys it. :peace:

    Now I want to play it again 😭

    So… Antonblast is a ripoff of a ripoff?

    Neat.

    I saw it and thought "oh must be from the makers of Pizza Tower" (or whatever it's called) but I guess not?

    I thought the showcase was fine. Didn't skip through anything which is usually how I judge them. 

    And I don't know why it's taken me some 30-odd years but the TMNT thing had me realise the cartoon theme said "heroes in a half shell" but it's not a half shell. It's their full shell. My whole life has been a lie.

    and I doubt Naoto Ohshima and Hirokazu Yasuhara had any clear idea in mind when they designed the original games and characters anyway

    In fairness most of their energy went to thinking about who Sonic was fucking.

    Yeah, the thing with official Pokémon pronounciations is that most of it comes from the anime. And when it comes to the English names, that's handled by Americans, who tend to not really care for how certain words are pronounced in other countries.

    The pronounciation for some of the Galar Pokémon will make you want to fold into yourself.

    Ah that's true. It's the same reason I won't say Studio Ghibli the way they claim it should be pronounced.

    Oh geez...

    Um... It depends? This might be a bit confusing.

    OK, so the original Game Boy cartridges can connect to each other. But they absolutely cannot do so with any future games. I say "cartridges", because if you happen to have a 3DS with the Virtual Console versions, they can connect with Pokémon Bank. More on Pokémon Bank in a bit, but with the 3DS eShop closed, you can't buy these versions, or Pokémon Bank anymore. So if you don't have a 3DS with those games on it now, you're out of luck.

    Now, from the GBA games onwards, you can transfer Pokémon on to future games. So you can take a Pokémon from the GBA games and transfer it to the first DS games (Diamond/Pearl), and then on to the next set (Black/White). However, be aware that these are all one-way trips. You can't transfer Pokémon from the DS back to the GBA.

    Now getting a Pokémon from the DS to the 3DS is a bit more complicated. You'll need a 3DS with two apps on it, Pokémon Bank, and Pokémon Transporter. If you don't, then you can't do this, because the 3DS eShop has shut down.

    If you do have them, then Pokémon Transporter is what allows you to move Pokémon from the DS games (and the Virtual Console Game Boy games) to Pokémon Bank. By the way,

    I think you're thinking of Pokémon Bank here. Some people assume that because the 3DS online servers have shut down, Pokémon Bank no longer works, but this isn't true. You can still use it. Now it will probably shut down sometime in the future. Nothing lasts forever, after all. But we don't when that will be yet.

    Anyway, Pokémon Bank is a way for you to store Pokémon and move them between the 3DS games. And if you want to move those Pokémon on to one of the Switch games, then you'll also need Pokémon Home.

    Pokémon Home is the Switch and mobile phone application that also lets you store Pokémon and move them between the Switch games. It also has other features, like letting you trade with other people, and keeping track of your National Pokédex completion. It also lets you transfer any Pokémon you have in Bank to Home.

    However, and this is important, none of the Switch games allow you to have every Pokémon in one game. You can't "catch 'em all" in any of them, which means some Pokémon can't be moved to some games.

    For example, Kecleon, the Pokémon you can see in my profile picture, can't be caught in any of the Switch games except Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. So you can't move it to, say, Scarlet/Violet. The game just won't allow it.

    I think that covers all the important bits. It's a lot to take in, I know. So if you have any questions, let me know, and I'll try to explain it more.
