@Julius the Kaguya movie is showing at Odeon and Vue cinemas on the 15th and 16th, any plans to go see it? If it was showing at my nearest Vue I might have but I would have to go to an Odeon cinema and not sure I can be bothered.

Ah the classic "it works for me", a sign of a true developer.

I still haven’t even started chapter 6 so I might be a while before I’m ready.

Wrong thread?

Beat chapter 5 last night. Revival Stones suck - they revive at full health as well! Not looking forward to later bosses that will have multiple. Break only seems to last for the next round of combat not until the end of the player phase, like I assumed it did. Only learned that against the chapter 5 boss because I thought I could cheese him. Break is great when you get it, it's awful when the enemy breaks you. Feels like they deliberately place 2 different weapon types next to each other so you can't just put a single unit against a group. I feel like I've been getting some poor level ups, my units still feel weak.

Yeah it's awful. Totally wasn't expecting to hear that when you boot up the game. That cutscene made me laugh too.

Depends if you want to unlock 6 and 7 star raids. You’ll need to if you want to the Greninja event. It doesn’t really take very long to do though.

There 1008, and more to see. To be a Pokémon Master. (Spoilers to Pokémon SV ‘mons if you haven’t seen them yet). I love that Snorlax is called Relaxo in the German version.

I can do the trade back if you still need to.

He was pretty dead at the the of Wind Waker and Twilight Princess.

@Dufniall was correct, it's for Apple Arcade. https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/pokemon-devs-cult-3ds-game-is-officially-coming-to-iphone/

I meant nerfed but seems you understood They've done the same with Zacian and Zamazenta, their ability activates once. Arguably, Zacian should be nerfed though.

What annoys me with SV is that they made it harder to breed competitive Pokémon. Synchronise no longer works outside of battle and I can't be bothered with the picnic stuff to breed (unless I'm wrong and it's faster, but I can't be bothered with the sandwich stuff either). I like having Pokémon with the correct nature, not using the mints unless I have to. They've nerfed Protean and Libero but there's new Pokémon running around that are broken. More on topic, and not just bashing Pokémon. This was me with Sonic games. Still buy them sometimes but with lower expectations.

Thanks for hosting each week @Glen-i (and @BowserBasher when Glen can't) and coming up with and organising the themes.

Reminder that this is now live

I ended up playing and finishing it last night (albeit the Mega Drive version) and I agree with what you said. Most of the stages are awful and the Peter Puppy ones happen too many times and are way too long. How I beat them as a kid without saves states, I'll never know. I did always prefer the first game over the second, the second game doesn't really have that many platforming levels. Like you say, it just felt like a lot of gimmicks thrown together. How on earth are you meant to know the answers to that quiz? The new weapons it added are kinda useless, mostly only really useful in Level Ate and the final level. Although protected the cows from being abducted by UFO's will never be not funny.

Late game spoilers:

I watched it before we played Smash.

Saturday is fine for me too.

I don't see what feature they've added that would even increase the battery usage so moderately.

Not at the minute, I'm using those 2 gift monsters at the moment.

If it's weighty like the Xbox Elite controller then I might consider it.

Nice. I had a Metal Slime from the portal join me yesterday.

I found some in The Snouterhorn, but was only able to get them down to half health before they fled.
