I was certain that it was only another of those TPC commissioned songs they've been giving pop stars recently, but I just Googled it, and you're right, it's gonna be in the game... As if I needed more red flags to worry me, the last one I needed was for this to have an English pop song. You know what else debuted an English pop song into a series, Final Fantasy XIII. And that game is the second worse entry! I played Lightning Returns, I gave up after 20 hours. It's horrific.

Irrelevant these days, because of two reasons. It's more likely then not that Oak won't show up, and it's not even the same voice actor anymore. Not to mention that short little voice clips in a 5 hour game is a lot easier to get right then full dialogue in a 30 hour RPG. Costs way less too. And you can be damn sure TPC will take the cheap option.

If ever there was an argument against voice acting in Pokémon.

You know how some games should be left on the 3DS because they just wouldn't work on a more traditional console? Well, that should be left on the 3DS for your general safety.

Wait until he finds out that the Rise one is actually the best looking Sonic based costumes in Mon Hun...

Go to settings, then Hero Roster, then select a character. You're welcome.

This happens with any N64 game that had an uncapped frame rate on the N64. You'll likely see the same thing with Goldeneye.

Stock matches tonight at 8pm.

I feel like any Inkling/Octoling worth their salt wouldn't pick Water type out of principle.

Those last few comments gave me a great laugh when viewed on a desktop!

Not quite true. Bowser actually has a couple spoken lines in Bowser's Inside Story. Granted, they are single word utterances. But I always liked the way he says "Showtime" in that game. A nice guttural growl to it.

That GIF is making me laugh so hard, I've gotten a headache!

I was expecting to cringe during the trailer, but I could feel me folding into myself then.

Can someone with way too much money pay Jack Black to read all of Bowser's lines from Bowser's Inside Story? And then get someone else to mod them into the game? I want to play that game so much! EDIT: Yeah, I do agree, @Jonnas. A pity, that.

Chris Pratt didn't even try to differentiate his voice, he's just playing himself. Dreadful. Kamek takes the crown for awful voice though. That was baaaaad. Jack Black and Keegan-Michael Key killing it though. Perfect casting there. Also, it's weird how Luigi's model looks really good, especially compared to Mario. Bowser also looks spot on. They must have the same lawyer as Vector does. The French and Brazilian dub for Mario sound much better then Pratt.

Better late than never!

Ah, about that. If you watch the Japanese trailer, the frame rate is more standard. There's something very odd with the Western trailer.

Then it's likely performance related then. Price you pay for having a big massive empty world. In my mind, if you can't match something like Pokémon Snap in terms of overworld Pokémon, then you might as well just have random battles.

Massive upgrade, in my opinion. Catching Pokémon was such a non-event in Legends. It also made battles utterly pointless, why whittle a Pokémon's health down when I can just chuck balls at it from behind?

Wait, what!? Seriously!? That's completely stupid if true. Trading is one of the defining features of the damn series!

It's still a Palindrome, and it's a Pokémon that desperately needs an evolution. I massively approve! I don't approve of crafting TM's though. I hate crafting mechanics in open world games. It sucked in Legends, it's gonna suck here. At least it's not every item...

OK, this week is a theme night. But unforeseen circumstances mean I don't have the graphic to hand at the moment. Luckily, the course selection is Player's Choice, so you don't have to give it too much thought. What is of note, is that we'll be partaking in Battle Mode tonight. But we'll be using utilising some unorthodox item sets. GP1 - Balloon Battle, Skilled Items GP2 - Coin Runners, No Items GP3 - Bob-Omb Blast, Frantic Items If we have time for a fourth GP, then it'll be the standard race setup. See you tonight at 8.

I've been there with Sword/Shield, the default outfit is so crummy there, I think it was done on purpose to get people to wear anything else.

Oh, well in that case, you'll be able to take it off like in every game since Sun/Moon, so hardly an issue.

I assume you mean the type indicators used with the Terastal mechanic? If so, that's not happening, far too late in development to change that, and it provides a purpose in letting you know what type a Terastalised Pokémon is.
